These are things such as: poor controls, inconsistent UI, very slow movement speed, the tininess of everything, etc. Maybe the computer version is better, and this was just a bad port? I do regret buying this because I know I won't play it since the number one issue is the lack of comfortable and responsive controls. ### 4/5 — Buggy quests but good game *2018-03-04, version 1.5.6* Some quests are buggy such as buying info for a idol it just points you towards a garage with nothing to do with the idol.Another quest with problems is the motherboard quest where you need to find the portals ,but there impossible to find and you can’t buy info for them.But overall progression and missions are great. ### 3/5 — Good, but needs work *2018-01-30* Love the idea of this game. A post apocalyptic mobile game? Im in. However the controls need some serious adjustment. At times the game feels unplayable bc the touch screen functionality is so poor. Some dungeons are also impossible to escape from. Look and feel are great it just needs a bit more polish. ### 4/5 — A lot of potential here *2018-01-24* I haven't dug all the way through the game. But, from what I have played there is a lot of potential here. Playing on my phone I can see my health, hunger or text very well. It does work with a mfi controller which is great, but driving has been clunky from my experience. I can see this being a great game with more features and bug fixes. Not to say it isn't enjoyable now. Keep it up! ### 4/5 — good solid game *2018-01-09* Initially there were some issues with controls, this app as frustrating as the game itself was great fun. With updates the controls have largely been fixed, and while they can still be tricky in game this someone reflects a ‘skill’ the player must develop. Perhaps the buttons are still too small, but this is an issue I find with most action adventure games on the iPhone. On the whole a solid game, great fun, but average controls. ### 2/5 — Look awful, plays awful *2018-01-05* Sadly I wasted my money on this. The view is way to far out, you control a square. I have an inventory but couldn’t tell you of what. The buttons are tiny and require a precise touch to activate. Platform section are incoherent no idea what is going on, what am I fighting!? No idea. The driving is hassle. Great concept, bad execution. ### 3/5 — Glitches, etc. *2018-01-03* The game seems really cool, been enjoying it thus far. But for some reason I can't reach the topmost left square of the map to reach a red x. It sets me back away from it? What the hell? I can drive and drive towards that direction but it spots me out behind the square. Very frustrating! Also, the game could use more content, enemies, vehicles, landscapes, etc. and please please please add a quest log that can actually be used ### 4/5 — Better after update *2017-12-31, version 1.5.1* Awesome concept. Future updates will make this game great. ### 4/5 — A Wonderfully Quirky Mashup *2017-12-29* Mad Max crossed with a true, real time Fallout... in the 32 bit era. I know it sounds like a bit much, but it’s just right. A fun sandbox world to explore with truly random gameplay. Great characters, sassy one liners, cars, guns, gore, and full controller support. What’s not to love? Bit of a difficulty curve so if you’re new to the genre it almost feels “rogue like” but still saves at certain points. This could easily run for 7.99 and still be worth it with the content you get. Kudos to the dev(s) and here’s to further updates and balancing. Slight update, -1* for a decent amount of bugs. They seem to be getting squashed with slow and steady updates (which is an awesome sign) but a perfect score demands a perfect game, right? ### 2/5 — Great concept and vision - subpar controls and execution on iPhone *2017-12-28* Love the concept and open world. However there are a number of severely limiting issues for small screen (iPhone) devices. 1) Controls can be frustratingly poor and unresponsive / delayed, especially inside buildings. You can mash on the jump button and response is either delayed (making timing movement across moving platforms impossible) or triggers shooting instead. 2) Graphics when inside buildings on an iPhone screen are so blocky that you are unable to see the layout easily (especially in radiated buildings) or distinguish enemies from obstacles. I love retro graphics, but there is a balance that needs to be maintained. 3) Stability of world: approx 17 game days in, all buildings and dungeons disappear. This happened on multiple tries / resets and results in there being NOTHING to interact with. Incredibly frustrating when taken in conjunction with issues 1 & 2. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Patch ... please ! Updated *2022-01-12* Patch please .. I love this game but I can’t continue a mission if the mission items aren’t appearing to me ... I’m stuck on the motherboard gathering quest .. and for some reason my dog is gone lol ?? Guys this product deserves a 5 , please do it justice and I’ll change my rate to 5 Update . I’m pretty sure one person you guys could care less about but I really am about to ask for my money back .. I don’t know what you guys did with this update but the game still has many issues .. yes it’s the mobile version but don advertise your game heavily to the point it’s on the front page for a bit and not work on it, gaming companies indie or not are successful because they listen ... we actually like this game but I’m giving it until the end of the month, if nothing significant changes between now and then I’m getting my refund :/ ... I bet this game still hasn’t been fixed huh wow I wrote this so long ago .. I assume you all still don’t care about this game on mobile ? ### 1/5 — Kernschrott (crap) *2020-06-01* Absolut unspielbar (unplayable) ### 1/5 — Saves whenever, patch needed *2020-04-22* Please patch this up. Saves are out of control. After resting or going into my house or learning a new skill I leave the game. However, when I resume my play the game picks up at a random spot. It’s really frustrating and destroying the gameplay. Please fix it with a patch. Game could be awesome! ### 1/5 — Err *2019-11-16, version 1.5.10* Weak graphics ### 1/5 — Help *2018-01-24, version 1.5.4* Just accidentally got this game, please help refund!!! ### 1/5 — Has promise, but fails on every level. *2018-01-09* The controls are tiny, and often don’t work. I’m not even sure what I’m doing. It’s almost as though the game was trying to emulate the fallout series, then incorporated super mario brothers platforming with tiny virtual buttons, a lack of cohesive storytelling, and a camera view so infuriatingly far away from the player character that you become a small square on a screen. I have no idea who I’m fighting, how to fight, why every house seems to be a random platform puzzle, why NPCs have nothing interesting to do or say, what I’m doing is a mystery and seems to be entirely random, I have no clue how the health works or any of the inventory because, again, the buttons are microscopic as are the inventory icons. I’m actually completely positive when I say that standing in a white cube for five hours staring at a wall the whole time watching paint dry would be more entertaining and understandable than this steaming pile of garbage. ### 1/5 — This game is not good *2018-01-02* By the reviews others gave it and the rankings in the app store, I thought this game was going to be a lot of fun. It wasn't. The controls are poorly thought out and the game play isn't that great. Sure you can do what the game promises, explore the wasteland and either follow the story or not. This game didn’t grab my attention. I wish I could get a refund. ### 1/5 — Terrible controls *2017-12-14, version 1.4* *****^#%###}#**}*}##}###}#*}*#*#*}*}£#£# give me my money back the controls are 🤬 ### 2/5 — Guys you are aware you can resize the controls *2019-03-22* This game is pretty good but I hear constant complaints about the controls, You can pause it go into the settings and just select controls and then big, easy. But nobody seems to be able to find it. The problem is that even with the sized up controls on small phones you can’t see inside buildings because the sprite work is too similar and the quests in the game are kind of unclear But other than that it’s a good game it’s just it kind of needs a tutorial or something to tell you how to play because, it’s mildly annoying having quest markers where there is no quest. ### 2/5 — Spanish!! *2018-09-21, version 1.5.10* The game is very good, just that it is not in Spanish, waiting for an update ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Улёт 🚀 *2023-02-17* Шедеврально! 👍 ### 5/5 — So great an Retro *2022-08-10* Amazing piece of game. Not easy and hard to master. But really much fun. Please try all other games of this Developer if u love retro Pixel games. Started with heroes of loot and now can not wait to play Residual. ### 5/5 — Mad max *2020-09-04* This game is really cool and it’s mad max ### 5/5 — No Cross-Over! *2020-04-27* This Open-World Rougelite has no unlocks or online content mandatory to play, making it a breath of fresh air. A true Roguelite! Keep up the good work Dev. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-03-26* An open world game by Orange Pixel. I love it. Open ended or so the main mission. It’s like a mad max world on your phone. 5/5 Granted you may get a bit lost on the main mission. Just simply check out YouTube videos. Hope there’s a sequel !! ### 5/5 — Great! 2 Suggestions... *2018-05-20* Really cool retro style pixelated post apocalyptic survival/Action RPG action game/platformer! Plays a little bit like a more straightforward/less story (there is little bit of a story with RPG elements) retro city rampage with a post apocalyptic theme! This game does so many things right, but the platforming inside buildings/houses is excruciatingly frustrating! SUGGESTIONS: - MAJOR tweak to platforming inside houses/buildings (make platforms closer together, character jumps higher and easier to control!) - Easier skill assignment (too easy to accidentally use up skill points on wrong skill, maybe an “assign skill point button?) - Release on 3DS. That’s it. Thanks! ### 5/5 — great game with so much opportunity *2018-01-08, version 1.5.1* this game is awesome but i feel it needs more/ more vehicles more food add more enemies n more locations on the map...it’s gotten so easy that i think i’ve finished the game/ it’s so repetitive at this point ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ *2017-12-28* Ashworld is an amazing game but It keeps crashing on my IPhone 6s every few minutes please fix!!! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Awesome fun! *2017-12-13* Really enjoyable little action rpg. ### 5/5 — Mad Max meets Vlambeer *2017-12-06* A quick paced open-world game. It’s not for the faint of heart, as it’s got lots of challenging gameplay. Perfect to pick up and play for ten minutes at a time and won’t break the bank. Give it a try, you won’t regret it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
