Older game the unique art style makes it feel like the graphics are not outdated AT ALL so please PLEASE get this game and give it a go! It’s so good that so far I don’t really want any updates (I don’t think they update the game though) since everything is near perfect (I don’t believe in anything being completely perfect but if I did I would say this is perfect.) So this is my favorite mobile game (plus as people get older the average mobile games where you are a Stickman fighting zombies or something starts to get boring FAST not saying that’s true for you but it’s true for me) ### 4/5 — 1 issue *2025-07-18, version 1.0.50817* I love the game so much.Cool fights,weapons and a lot more.there is one problem.I played the game for then minutes. my battery was down 10 to15 percent. Is there a way to fix that issue?pls let me know. ### 2/5 — Weirdly poor, stuttery performance *2025-04-04, version 1.0.50817* Hades from these guys run far smoother, which is confounding. Been out of the Apple ecosystem a while. What happened to make these old games run so bad!? ### 4/5 — Amazing game, voice, atmosphere *2024-12-02, version 1.0.50817* This game i played many years ago. So happy to see it again!!! Its a truly unique game with voiceover creating atmosphere. Sad thing is the cost….. sorry I can’t do it. Great game. ### 3/5 — Middling Performance *2024-11-22, version 1.0.50817* Frame rate slows to a stuttering crawl when a plethora of enemies are on screen. Additionally, controller support is not fully implemented. Menus should be navigable without touch screen. Also, touchscreen buttons should be eliminated offscreen when controller is in use, which would limit the obscuring clutter onscreen. Poor formatting prevents this from being what would be an otherwise excellent experience. ### 3/5 — Not that sigma. *2024-06-21, version 1.0.50817* I finished the game. Didn’t play it for a long time. Then i wanted to play again. I needed to pay 5.99 (or was it 4.99)again. Although it saved all my weapons which is dumb because it should save the full game. But its overall fun. I think it SHOULD save the full game if its gonna save my weapons. But like I said its fun. ### 2/5 — Great game, performance issues *2024-05-18, version 1.0.50817* On my base iPhone 15, I’m getting some serious frame rate issues. I’ve played through this game on other platforms and haven’t had this issue. Disappointed that this great game is borderline unplayable. ### 5/5 — 故地重游 *2024-05-16, version 1.0.50817* 2015年在iOS上玩的，今天又想起来玩玩。时隔多年还是觉得不错 ### 2/5 — The gameplay is fun, but the save system is unforgivable *2024-04-07, version 1.0.50817* I really enjoyed the gameplay without a doubt But it is honestly aggressively overshadowed by the egregiously bad auto save system Just look online for people having save problems and you will know what I mean. It is EXTREMELY easy to lose hours of progress and tons of people have. The real challenge in the game is making sure you don’t lose progress and waste your time due to it not allowing you to save and the ineptitude present in the implementation of the auto save system. I would normally give one star for such a fatal game ruining error, but the gameplay is fun so I’ll give it one extra star, even if the taste is so bad in my mouth I haven’t wanted to open the game again. For the people being charged twice or being resold the game, don’t be afraid to sail the seven seas and play on PC. If a company is going to screw you over screw them back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-12-28, version 1.0.50817* Already bought the game and now I need to pay again. Thieves. ### 1/5 — Already bought but need to buy again? *2025-10-15, version 1.0.50817* Not recommended. I bought this game some years ago and now they want to charge me again to play the game? Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Nochmal kaufen - nein danke *2025-03-16* Hab es damals, beim Erst-Release schon gekauft ### 1/5 — Do not buy the full game unlock! You’ll be charged but your purchase won’t get registered. *2024-12-20, version 1.0.50817* STAY AWAY FROM THE FULL GAME PURCHASE, YOU WILL GET SCAMMED! I’m a big fan of Bastion on console and was looking forward to having it on the go without having to carry a clunky portable console. After downloading the game and tapping on the purchase option the charge was made to my credit card but the game would not let me access the full version. After trying to contact Apple and the developers I went to a couple of forums to see if anyone have had the same issue as me, to my surprise I found out that it’s actually a fairly common glitch. But somehow it gets even worse, with many users claiming that neither Apple and the developers have any solutions to the problem and simply resort to pointing fingers at each other trying to blame the opposite party. What I and other users that had this same problem end up doing is simply asking for a refund because no one seems to want to fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Wasted my time, don’t waste yours *2024-12-16, version 1.0.50817* The weak Devs should say at the beginning this is a demo, and a bad one at that. ### 1/5 — Hi *2024-11-24* Add Russian language, then you will have more purchases and players ### 1/5 — Pay again? *2024-10-13, version 1.0.50817* Paid for this when it was somewhat new and one of the better apps featured…now asking me to pay to “unlock” full game. Do they do this thinking we don’t remember paying? Additionally it runs like trash on the 15 pro max…like very bad, an update is needed Or maybe they just beed more money? ### 1/5 — Верните деньги или восстановите покупку *2024-10-11* Ранее покупал, а сейчас все отобрали. Когда такое стало нормой? ### 1/5 — Restore my purchase. *2024-05-30, version 1.0.50817* I bought the game a few years ago and I tend to download the game again when I upgrade iPhones, but now it won’t restore my purchase. ### 1/5 — I purchased the game *2024-05-30* I have purchased this game previously when it was a paid one, now its asking me to pay for it again. There is no option to restore the purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good perfect game *2026-08-14, version 1.0.50817* Really fun ### 5/5 — Awesome but a bit short *2026-07-30, version 1.0.50817* This game is super fun but I beat in in a few weeks but you can always restart the game with your same stat or you may make a whole new save slot so over all great game ### 5/5 — Incrível *2026-06-08* Gráfico lindo e boa história, jogabilidade touch muito boa no iPhone 17 pro Max, amo esse jogo. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-12, version 1.0.50817* I’m going to be honest i randomly found this game on the App Store and I downloaded it for fun. The free version is what got me hooked. I normally don’t purchase a game outright but the story and graphics are the best Ive come across in a while. This game is worth the 4.99 I spent! ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2025-07-20, version 1.0.50817* Love this game and for only the 1 time purchase I will follow and buy this companies games whenever I see them. The storyline is great, the gameplay is fun. And no IAPs!!! ### 5/5 — 🫡🫡🫡🫡💐💐 *2025-05-26, version 1.0.50817* Why am I just now finding out about this game? OMG ### 5/5 — my thoughts.. *2025-01-28, version 1.0.50817* I wish I can experience again what it’s like to play this masterpiece for the first time. ### 5/5 — I’d actually OWNED this game already. *2025-01-18, version 1.0.50817* So I’ve had this game ever since it became available on the Apple App Store, bought it one time and that was it. Coming back to it now, I now no longer own it. What changed to revoke my access to the FULL GAME I PURCHASED? Why do I need to RE-PURCHASE something I’ve already bought? Apple you SERIOUSLY NEED to double down on YOUR App Store. There are blatant frauds going on. Do not hurt the ACTUAL GAME DEVELOPERS. I LOVE THIS GAME! I love the developers of this game! Do right by them! ### 5/5 — Second only to Transistor *2024-12-12, version 1.0.50817* I love this game so much. I played it first years ago when i was in the hospital and my dad said hey play this. Ever since my passion for this game and all the others made by Supergiant have had my heart. The story, the gameplay, and most importantly The Music. By god the music. Darren Korb knows how to make such beautiful music. So thank you Supergiant for making this masterpiece for me to enjoys years after. Even if my heart belongs to Transistor just a bit more. ### 5/5 — The Only Thing to do is try it *2024-11-02, version 1.0.50817* I haven’t bought a game in years. What a great game. A nod to the classics but truly original. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
