It won’t even login, bad game ### 2/5 — Trash *2023-01-03, version 1.4* It’s ok but evertime u shoot it it automatically dies. I give it a 2 ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2022-11-22, version 1.4* It’s an extremely fun game, but I could only play until level five because you don’t make barely anything at the end of the hunt. It makes it so you have to spend money to play. I hope this helps! ### 4/5 — Over all it’s a great game but when you go to shoot the arrow goes way under where you want it to *2021-04-19, version 1.4* Even when your up close ### 3/5 — Could be better *2021-02-14, version 1.4* I played like 10 hunts and ran out of money and arrows and can’t buy arrows so I can’t hunt because I have no arrows and it maskes you spend real money ### 4/5 — Nice game bro *2021-01-08, version 1.4* It’s the best game ### 1/5 — Peace of crap *2020-11-23, version 1.4* Totally inacerite poor shooting physics the fact that you only get sertane amount of arrows following each of your hunts. And the arrow drop is rediculys honestly I wish there was a MINUS five stars ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2020-11-10, version 1.4* The game is so bad you hit the deer in the most perfect spot in the world and it would not die you could just upgrade your bow hit it from 20 yards and still live terrible game don’t recommend and it’s just terrible ### 1/5 — Stopped *2020-08-30, version 1.4* Baaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd ### 3/5 — Could be a 5 star *2020-04-12, version 1.4* Could be a 5 star rating game. Does go good in the beginning, and after a few hunts you are down to spend real money on the game. I had a few hunts and kills that wasn’t registered, or said it wasn’t the proper kill. It states not to be hit in head, but kill shot was in the middle of the back, didn’t get the shot, counted as a head or neck shot. So be aware. ### 1/5 — Really *2020-03-14, version 1.4* It won’t even let me login ### 1/5 — Dumb game *2020-02-24, version 1.4* This game is pita full when you shoot a arrow you go get it you don’t lose it and have to buy another. This game is hard the sights don’t work on the bow. When you hit a deer it bleeds to death eventually on this game you shoot it ten thousands times and it walks away. And you should have unlimited time to complete the hunt instead you have one minute. Also when you get out of your stand you should be able to get back in. And when the game tell you your bow is out of date and needs repair it don’t it works fine. And why is there a fence in the one region it don’t make any common sense. Over all I would rate it a ten out of ten billion. Some city slicker probably made this game. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2020-02-11, version 1.4* Never have I had to hunt with a time limit I am betting the people who made this game have never been in the woods let a lone seen a deer, or been around Mother Nature just saying!!!!!!!🤓🤪.Firecat. ### 4/5 — I think *2020-01-18, version 1.4* I think that it his a very fun game but I’m definitely not a killing animals kind of guy but I really think the graphics are way better than the old version of this game and last because t not least I think people should play this game instead of going out to hunt. ### 1/5 — We shouldn’t have to login with my email *2020-01-05, version 1.4* Duke ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate this game *2025-10-20, version 1.4* I have played it a few times and it’s unfair because it makes you miss even when your really close to the deer. Good for you if you got a trophy buck because even if I play it forever I still wouldn’t get a trophy buck. And the game has things like energy and it takes like 5 hours to refill. It doesn’t quite make sense. ### 1/5 — Hate this game *2023-09-01, version 1.4* I have played it a few times and it’s unfair because it makes you miss even when your really close to the deer. Good for you if you got a trophy buck because even if I play it forever I still wouldn’t get a trophy buck. ### 1/5 — The shoot button doesn’t even work *2023-08-17, version 1.4* The shoot button doesn’t even work even in the first hunt when it’s showing you how to play the game ### 1/5 — Is this a horror game or someThing *2022-09-03, version 1.4* I started playing this game the pretty good the music no horror ### 1/5 — This stinks *2022-06-07, version 1.4* Downloaded, did the practice page, then it brought me to a page asking for my email and passwords. Never would let me create them so peace out hommie. Come on! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-02-16, version 1.4* Don’t waste your time can’t even log in the first time ### 1/5 — It’s annoying *2022-01-17, version 1.4* It’s unrealistic some shots that should count don’t and it’s hard to even keep Enough money for arrows ### 1/5 — The slow Lowder *2021-12-10, version 1.4* I hate that you have to wait for it toLooking for three straight days ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2021-08-02, version 1.4* This game couldn’t be any worse! Horrible execution ### 1/5 — This game is horrible and rigged *2021-02-02, version 1.4* Don’t get this game if you don’t want them to know about they want everything. Don’t get it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Controller support *2024-07-08, version 1.4* Please add controller support ### 5/5 — Bow hunters *2023-11-28, version 1.4* It is the best game I have ever played ### 5/5 — This game is so amazing *2023-08-17, version 1.4* this game is so amazing because The fact that you could walk around hunt in tree stands!It it also shows you The patience of hunting! ### 5/5 — The best hunting game!! *2017-06-04, version 1.4* I have played all games of this kind on the App Store and would admit this one is just the best ### 5/5 — Best game about hunting! *2017-06-03, version 1.4* Excellent game, very cool graphics and gameplay. Animal behavior and hunting process are very realistic.Moreover, before killing them I love to spend a lot of time watching them. Much better than the previous version. ### 5/5 — ok indie game *2017-05-29, version 1.4* I love the fact that with every year the line between professional teams and indie devs is fading away. The visuals are impressive! Gameplay is ok, but has some in game purchases. ### 5/5 — Stunning graphics *2017-05-28, version 1.4* I think this is one of the best games of such kind I have come across. Deer stalking is really exciting. At first it seemed to be difficult but then I learned how to do it. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2017-05-28, version 1.4* Thank you for offering this cool game for free ### 5/5 — I'm excited *2017-05-18, version 1.4* I've never been on real hunt but I really enjoyed this game. I spent several evenings playing it. I think that soon I will try hunting in real life. ### 5/5 — Best hunting game *2017-05-18, version 1.4* Excellent bow hunting simulator. This game seemed interesting for me because I love to hunt but not always I have time to go out of town. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
