The combat got a lot better as you progress. Controls are horrible on a phone. Frustrated me so much I almost broke my phone so I will be deleting this for my own sanity. Stick to tablet or try a controller. The amount of times I’ve died because the game recognised a tap somewhere else or doesn’t properly tap to the enemy or not registering when I tap the items. Actually insane. If a game boy mor made by some kid trying to play Pokémon on their phone can figure out how to make a keypad and button UI for their app, I think you can too. This tapping everywhere this is genuinely infuriating ### 3/5 — Code 7 *2025-10-05, version 100.0.160* I remember I did have an account on this game. But it has been so long since I’ve played and when I came back on recently, I saw my saved progress wasn’t there anymore. When I tried to log in, it would say code 7 with everything I tried. I really don’t want to start over😭. ### 1/5 — Könnte richtig gut sein, aber…. *2025-07-13* Ja, eigentlich ein tolles Spiel. Ich habe es einmal komplett durchgespielt. Was da z.B. nervte ist die Tatsache, dass es ständig dunkel wird (Nacht), es gibt zwar irgendwann mal eine Bauanleitung für ein Bett, aber nach einigen Minuten herumlaufen muss man dieses immer wieder aufsuchen damit man nicht so lange im Dunkeln herumlaufen muss. Dann habe ich mir den 2ten Teil herunter geladen und der war für mich wegen der impraktikablen Steuerung der Spielfigur unspielbar. Gott sei Dank habe ich mein Geld zurück erhalten. Somit habe ich halt ein neues Spiel beim ersten Teil angefangen. Dort bin ich dann hängen geblieben, da ich die Anleitung für eine bestimmte Workstation (Jollyscope) nicht erhalten habe. Viele Stunden „umsonst“ gespielt und schweren Herzens noch mal komplett neu angefangen. Nach vielen Stunden bin ich wieder am selben Bug gescheitert.😨😢😱 ### 4/5 — Enemies are too difficult *2024-06-09, version 100.0.118* Hi so I really like this game but I don’t like how you’re forced to play survival first and that you have to beat survival first for the game. Another thing I hate I absolutely hate this part when you are fighting enemies and flux dies on you when you respawn and head back to the mission the enemies health is fully restored like seriously it just makes the mission even harder and worse like whey couldn’t there health stay the same as when I was attacking them. And fought them like why do they get a free heath boost like really I mean come on surely you might have seen that error before ### 1/5 — Русский *2024-06-03* Деньги русских не пахнут, а как сделать локализацию - так х_*_й там. Так зачем выставлять приложение в русском апп стор, если не готовы вложиться хотя бы переводом!? ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2024-04-07, version 100.0.118* I loved this game, but, every time I open it it immediately crashes and I have no idea why ### 5/5 — Very immersing *2023-10-04, version 100.0.118* There are no words i Can use to express my love for this game. Simply a masterpiece ### 3/5 — Combat is clunky *2023-07-10, version 100.0.118* As someone that’s completed dark souls and getting over it this is easily the most frustrating combat of all time ### 3/5 — Does not open *2023-02-20, version 100.0.118* Does not seem to work on newest iPad Pro with IOS 16.xx. Starts to load then app disappears ### 5/5 — Masterpiece *2022-12-17, version 100.0.118* I’ve played this game for years it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time Thank you for making this LETS GOOOOO ## Frequently asked questions about Crashlands ### What kind of game is Crashlands?
