### 2/5 — -_-

*2025-05-09, version 2.0.3*

It’s a good game but no sound

### 4/5 — Good game, but…

*2024-09-07, version 2.0.3*

I love this game so much. I used to play this a lot when I was a kid. I still like this game and play it, but there are issues that were not there in the past that need to be corrected. Like we can’t access the challenges section, because the game crash everytime. Also, when trying to purchase something like coins or diamonds, an error occurs and it doesn’t work. I don’t know if it’s like this forever in the game, but the voice of the boss and the blood is also missing. The shovel don’t work too, it’s glitching out of the map when spawned. It’s really sad, because appart from that, i still like and play this like in my childhood. Please correct these bugs.

### 2/5 — Necesito un reembolso

*2024-08-24, version 2.0.3*

Como obtengo un reembolso ?

### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel

*2021-11-08*

Kam nach langer Zeit zurück. Brauch unbedingt ein Update dann gibt es wieder 5 Sterne. Gore funktioniert nicht richtig, Anpassung ans Display wird benötigt und Abstürze müssen behoben werden. 👍🏻

### 1/5 — Do not wast your money

*2021-04-01, version 2.0.3*

Horrible app. 100% dissatisfied. Waste of money. The app was super glitchy and there was no blood or anything that was along the lines of 17+ Definitely do now waste your money on this scam

### 1/5 — Ads, Bugs and no gore.

*2021-01-20, version 2.0.3*

I bought this game because I thought it would be a fun Beat the Boss game. 

Turns out I was wrong, first thing I noticed was that there was no blood or gore. I was frankly very disappointed, as it was rated 17+  I assumed that the game would be up to those standards. It was not.

I decided that this was a little bit upsetting but alright, and I continued playing but soon after I realised something else. The bugs. The game is unbelievably buggy, to a point where it is almost unplayable. I am very annoyed by this but I gave the game one last chance.

I regret this, as it was just a further waste of my time. After playing a barely playable and disappointing game I ran into the last problem, which made me immediately quit this game and write this review.

Ads.

Ads in a payed game? are you kidding? at this point I don’t even care about writing a reasonable review, I am mad about this and want a refund on this game. I strongly advise they nobody buys this game as it is a waste of your money.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2020-11-19, version 2.0.3*

The only thing different is a un realistic tooth flying out of his mouth, completely just takes ur money, nothing different from this game to the normal version. Don’t waste ur money 😔

### 1/5 — Una decepción

*2020-09-25, version 2.0.3*

No sale sangre ni hay un cambio notable 10m de prueba lo desinstale un malgasto de dinero.

### 2/5 — Extremely Buggy.

*2020-09-24, version 2.0.3*

First of all. We paid for the gore. So why is there no gore? No blood, no teeth nothing.

And then the bugs.

Oh it is SO buggy. The majority of the time the boss doesn’t even have their clothes on. The background animations are broken and whenever I summon a weapon. It glitches out of existence.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2020-09-16, version 2.0.3*

First It’s glitchy, laggy, and crashes. Second all the blood, gore, and foul language, the stuff that supposedly makes it (17+), there’s none of that it’s the exact same game as the free version so unless you want to waste your money on a scam I don’t recommend!

### 2/5 — Paid app with ads all the time

*2020-08-08, version 2.0.3*

Paid app with ads all the time, so unreasonable.

### 2/5 — Please just update this

*2020-07-19, version 2.0.3*

I know the game is old but can you please just update the glitches and patch the bugs just to make the game more playable  and also fix the bosses voice and the crashes too .

### 1/5 — Покупаешь игру за деньги , так в игре реклама

*2020-03-05*

Разработчики вы ахуели ?

### 1/5 — Keeps closing

*2020-01-27, version 2.0.3*

i got an iphone XR keeps closing on me

### 2/5 — Ads?

*2019-08-26, version 2.0.3*

You’d assume that if you purchase the game it doesn’t come with ads, yet you have to make another purchase just for ads to disappear, disappointing frankly.

### 3/5 — The ads

*2019-08-06, version 2.0.3*

I brought the game and I’m getting ads?!?!

### 1/5 — Fix this please

*2019-06-14, version 2.0.3*

There is so much bugs it was a waist I can’t do anything please just fix it

### 1/5 — 不優

*2019-06-12, version 2.0.3*

按左上角目標時會閃退🤬🤬🤬害我都不能破任務

### 2/5 — No gore

*2019-06-08, version 2.0.3*

I was buying this app expecting it to be bloody and things like that because the other ones are not bloody. As this is 17+, I wanted it to be gore but there is NO GORE. It is no different to the others so I would not buy this just buy the free one.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads on a game that I bought

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.3*

Tried requesting a refund because this is one of the worst ports Ive seen what a terrible company this is why “beat the boss” was only good back then

### 1/5 — Buggy & does not work

*2026-07-03, version 2.0.3*

Terrible why are there ads on a game i paid for

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2026-05-22, version 2.0.3*

The game is the same as the free one nothing different and you still get ads even tho it cost money to play

### 1/5 — Needs fixed

*2025-09-15, version 2.0.3*

The coins fall right off the screen and are unable to be collected. Definitely not worth the 99¢. I got this game because of a bug in best the boss 2. I figured the 3rd one would be better than the 2nd and that’s far from the truth.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-04-24, version 2.0.3*

Dont buy, has ads and literally not different than the original game. There is an ad every five minutes absolute waste of money

### 1/5 — Деньги верните

*2022-10-15*

Сделал две покупки в игре, оплата прошла, а в игре написало, что-то пошло не так, деньги не вернули

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-08-08, version 2.0.3*

Packed full of pop ups and the only way to remove them is to spend money. They toke $4 from me and I still got ads.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2022-07-14, version 2.0.3*

The game closes when you press the objectives it’s the same with the free ones !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Rip-off

*2022-03-10*

I just paid money for ads.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-09-05, version 2.0.3*

Paid a dollar and still get ads every 30 seconds. Glitches like crazy and judging from the reviews it does that for everybody and it’s pretty bad. It’s still playable kind of but it’s at the level of those really cheap games that you just found as an ad while playing another cheap game. 1 I’d expect way better from the company who made the other horrible boss games and 2
