Disrespectful, just buy it on XBOX, PS4/5, Switch, Steam

I’ve written out several reviews (3) for this same title only to be disrespected from the team that keeps replying to everyone about reaching out to the dev team. It’s been three FULL years and NETASS isn’t going to fix the issue, they only reply to everyone to make themselves look good to the apple team. I’ve called and even emailed the apple concerning this sham of a IP that is broken since iOS 16 but they keep it on the store to take/steal money and the satisfaction that your going to play a great game. YOU CANNOT even get a refund even if you’ve purchased it. NETASS makes online games so let’s all STOP wasting our time and money on EVERY game they make or develop regardless of how well their games are. TOGETHER APES STRONG. Well since they treat everyone like monkeys….

Dear Player. Thank you for your feedback. We will collect your valuable suggestion and pass it to our development team for further review. Thank you for your support.

Still not working

So I made a review a few weeks ago and the devs reached out and said something not even remotely informative or helpful to the situation that myself and tons of other people are having, but it seems that whenever I open the game it gets to the Netease logo and immediately crashes afterwards. I’ve bought this game a while back on the same device (iPhone 12 Pro) and it worked fine, so it seems that one of you guys updates has kept the game from booting and just needs to be tweaked a little. We’ve all paid a solid 10 bucks for this. I think it’s fair that you guys try to do something for everyone that has paid for the game and are having the SAME issue, instead of reaching out and telling how is how helpful you guys WANT to be.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We will continue to work hard to bring better game experiences for you. If you encounter any issues/glitches in the game, feel free to contact us. Our team will check it further for you. Thanks for your support!

This really is a great game…..

It’s just a shame that the developers don’t care enough to fix the crash on startup issue and they have a PR person here in the AppStore telling people they need to try playing on a device with more RAM (even when people are saying they have devices that have come out AFTER this game stopped working…..)…. so the game hasn’t been functional since iOS 16 launched and it’s looking like it never will.

Right now if you buy this and you are running iOS 16 or up, you just basically got taken for a tenner. If you can still apply for a refund, you most definitely should before the time limit expires.

Please Fix The Game!!!!

I am a huge fan of Metroidvania games (particularly the Castlevania entries). I really enjoyed Bloodstained when it came out on iOS. Ever since the iOS 16 update, this game won’t even load . It simply crashes every time I attempt to start the game. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my iPhone, and NOTHING WORKS!!! I really hope the app developer will read the feedback in these reviews. I’m not the only one having this issue. I’m running the game on an iPhone 14 Plus, and before that, I ran the game on an iPhone XR. There are literally forums on the internet with people requesting this game be fixed!!! Unless the app developer updates / fixes this game, save your money. I have this game on Switch, but I prefer to have some of my favorite games on the iPhone since it would be unwise to carry my Switch every where to every setting.

This purchase was stolen from us

No longer able to play this game after recent iOS update and because Apple no longer allows downgrading our iOS version we have essentially been robbed. There ought to be legal repercussions against this kind of thing, especially since it is not that old of a an application to warrant its support being discarded like this. I want my game or my money back.

It was such a beautiful game too. GG
