Love the game
it’s like doom but cooler in my opinion. my only complaint is the you can’t rotate screen orientation. i’d appreciate an update for that!

Movement
Great work on this! I’m quite stunned to see this game available on iOS. What would make this perfect is if we could adjust the movement acceleration. Your character moves too fast. Controls for walking also feel like you’re swimming because of this. If there was a way to slow movement down (maybe with a slider control), it would make so much easier to manage your character using touch controls. Now, all we need is Apotheosis X! I know it’s a non-official title but I considered it to be the best overhaul for AlephOne. It would make it an awesome addition to iOS gaming.

My personal experience
This game is better than sex
Just Brilliant
Good Fun Shooter with a little bit of puzzle solving to take your mind off the World.
And fun to play on an ipad mini 4
Thank You Bungie 73

Commendable, with some drawbacks.
Bringing forward such a classic game will naturally have challenges, and this developer has done an admirable job with a substantial legacy. To cross-platform the game into a touch-screen interface, too, requires finesse and a sense of style that the author has achieved admirably.
As with any app, however, there are two modes of thought in the developer community regarding audio. This game doesn’t give players the annoying choice between the developer’s sounds or Total. Silence., but neither does it let user-driven audio be the dominant/only noise. There is no volume control in game at all.
Apart from that, this remains the paragon of early fps games, faithfully made playable in the modern world. Neither DOOM, nor Quake, this was the bridge between 2-D and 3-D engines that paved the way for COD, CS, UT, and most directly Halo.
I’m so glad this got made. :-)

Good game bad controls
You got to play this game it is amazing but the controls are awful
Unbelievable
First of all, thank you. Thank you for reviving the game I spent countless hours on my Mac LC630.
All the fun is back and as a bonus, I am now able to play with max graphics (Wich was possible on LC mac, but higher resolution mean unacceptable performance) and 100% compatible with controller (I am using XBOX one controllers).
Thanks again and continue your escellent work!

A fun mobile port with some issues
After extensive play I can say I really like this. It’s fun. Except… that dumb option where releasing from the movement control or really just using the movement control activates terminals or interacts with the environment. EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT OPTION DISABLED! On top of that I hate the auto-fire and wish for there to be an option to turn that off too. It’s weird when you start firing, but it’s not you and suddenly you have less ammo than when you started. Also, added customization for buttons would be nice because the trigger buttons are annoying to use with how small they are. When you’re just trying to fire bullets from the assault rifle sometimes it’s real easy to slip into the middle and grenade yourself. One more thing to mention, sometimes after start up when entering a mission everything is plastered in a green or turquoise tint. I know it’s a port, so despite all of that, it’s still a really good game I recommend playing.

I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME AVAILABLE
Beautifully done, amazing graphics and gameplay, actually like playing on a console. Well done and THANK YOUUUU! 90’s video game nerds love youuuu 😘😘
Nice update sir
Id love to contact whoever is maintaining this project on the AppStore. Great job!
Masterpiece
I can't believe that the people that made halo made this game haw
No Online Joining
I keep trying to join an online game and I get 5 bots and I can’t even start the game.
Love the trilogy
Have loved this series since its release on the Macintosh back in the ‘90s. Glad it has been ported to mobile.
Very fun game, pretty good port
I’ve never played marathon before I downloaded it for mobile but I gotta say, it’s really fun! Obviously some of the mechanics are janky but that’s because marathon was the first game of its kind to do a lot of things. The port for mobile is pretty good, a little janky but good nonetheless. I would highly recommend it to any doom/halo fan, but even if you just want some fun 1990s FPS action, marathon is the game for you.

Gyro controls?
I cant turn off gyro controls. It’s totally a missing option in control preference, says its optional in the controls description... I’m confused.
Ohhh finally found it, realized you can scroll down further in preferences. Also IMO one should definitely turn off (lift movement button to activate). I was constantly activating terminals in the middle of a firefight or unintentionally. I assume this helps with certain sections involving timed doors/puzzles but ya Im keeping this toggled off. There are some more options for controls in the ios settings under the app itself, tailor to your liking... now all I wonder is what does the Master Chief toggle do? Guess I’ll find out, I can’t keep that one unchecked.

Crashes on ipad.
Depending on what you are doing in the game the app crashes. Not all the time but enough to mention.
Stellar port
Preserves the action, puzzles, and horror, and a fantastic port of an already great game, one question: since this is made with the aleph one port, would you ever consider to make a pathways into darkness port? Or marathon red? Or, since you’ve got the port, and the only difference is the ROM, a software for people to make ports? Thank you.
