It has a lot of memories from playing the original DOS game(s) and the upgraded graphics are a nice addition. I sure would like to see the additional entries into the series remade. This is also from the legendary creator of DOOM, which is a game I also played on my 1995 Packard Bell computer. Dangerous Dave is a great game for anyone. The buttons are sometimes covering up Dave on my iPhone 6, but if you move them down a bit then it isn't as noticeable. ### 5/5 — DANGEROUS DAVE IS THE ISH!!!! *2015-11-20* Im so glad you guys could bring this awesome game to this platform!! I grew up with this game! This is what apple should display on the "best new games" menu! Thanks again!! DANGEROUS DAVE!!! ### 5/5 — Brutally fun platformer *2015-11-05, version 1.0* A brilliantly executed platformer that doesn't hold back on its challenges. You think you can handle it? I thought so too, but after 5 sessions with my therapist - I've come to terms that the slimy Clyde is still the better man. For now. I can't give up. Great HD art, music and level design. Don't be a fool and let Clyde run rampant - pick this game up! ### 5/5 — Amazing John Romero classic! *2015-11-01, version 1.0* From one of the developers of Quake, DOOM, and Wolfenstein, comes a great remake/remaster of an 89' Romero classic! Plays amazingly well in either retro or hi def versions. The game is extremely challenging, as the classic itself was, so Romero stayed true to the original design and difficulty. Amazing level designs and gameplay. A must have for any fan of retro "platformers" and Romero fans alike! ### 5/5 — A lot of fun and great music *2015-10-31, version 1.0* I am enjoyed playing this game. It's a lot of fun. The controls are a little weird, but that's more me than the game. This is actually my first review that's how much I liked this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My bum hurts!!! 🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬 *2018-05-06, version 1.1* This 🅱️ame has the 🅱️ig gay ### 2/5 — 🌝 *2018-04-21, version 1.1* Theres no jetpack for level 4 ### 2/5 — Nice but need some work *2017-05-05, version 1.1* Bring me back to my childhood. Almost perfect like the DOS game but got killed by shot through the wall... ### 3/5 — Horrible controls and falling *2024-10-03, version 1.1* Great new graphics but the player controls feel janky and character falling is horrible and hard to control. I know the original game had difficult falling but this takes it to a whole new level. Better to just use a dos emulator and play the original. ### 3/5 — Good experience, but... *2018-12-24, version 1.1* In this game we have 2 variations of original Dave: “dos” and hd version. The main problem in “dos” is enemy’s-in original game they was programmed to shot in certain sequence, but in our version enemy’s “see” the player and shoot in him. The main problem in hd version-parallax background “jumping” when player move to the most right point in level. Because of those problems I didn’t want to buy this game. If you fix those problems, I be very happy. But, again, the main idea in original game-to accept the challenge and beat this game without saves, I’d like to have the opportunity to off this option if I buy this game. ### 3/5 — Glitch *2018-06-23, version 1.1* There is a glitch on level 8 so it’s not worth to try because you can’t get passed level 8 . Level 8 is missing a jetpack in the beginning, I found out from YouTube video after struggling. ### 3/5 — Classic, old-school platformer, for better or worse... *2015-11-01, version 1.0* Ahh, the rose-tinted spectacles of nostalgia... Sometimes you have to take them off & judge a game's playability by today's standards. This is a nice trip down Memory Lane (back when it was measured in kilobytes) & it's nice to pop in every now & then, but I wouldn't want to live there. ### 4/5 — Decent adaptation *2020-10-01, version 1.1* I wasn’t sure how well it would play on a touchscreen but it works well enough, certain movements are a little tricky to pull off. There is a bug that comes up sometimes where the enemies (and worse, their venom) freeze in place. You can shoot the enemy creature but the venom hangs there and if it happens in a corridor essentially ends your game as it stays put through respawns. It’s happened to me multiple times on level 6, and it’s pretty frustrating. Otherwise if you liked Dave back in the old days, you’ll probably enjoy playing this! ### 4/5 — Great game *2016-04-04, version 1.1* It's good to have old dave back. I give only 4 stars because it's impossible to complete wrap zone in level 10 as it gets crashed after we climb the tree :( ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2016-03-27, version 1.1* I LOVE that I can play this game again as an app! It's in a folder with my other beloved childhood games (jezzball and caveman) and the only reason I can't give it 5 stars is that running into the enemy on level 4 no longer kills it! Otherwise, perfect remake. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wish there were more games like this *2022-02-04, version 1.1* Sometimes the old school games are more fun. Really needs the purchase (not too much) so you don’t have to keep on restarting from the beginning! If you like this then you’ll definitely like Super Dangerous Dungeons. ### 5/5 — Great game! Classic! *2021-01-08, version 1.1* If you haven’t played this, you NEED to! It’s a really fun game! ### 5/5 — Great Port *2017-10-12, version 1.1* I remember playing this game as a kid! The only thing I don't care for in this game is the virtual touch controls. If Dangerous Dave had an option for Bluetooth controllers, I'd be playing it WAY more. Get on it John ;) ### 5/5 — Mad respect to the people that remade this *2017-08-17, version 1.1* Nostalgia hit me harder than my stepdad. ### 5/5 — Thanks a lotttttt *2017-07-06, version 1.1* I had been searching for this game in AppStore ever since I have owned a tablet. Dangerous Dave has been one of my fav childhood games( lol PC days). So nostalgic!!!! Thanks so much again for making this game available. Can't thank you enough. ### 5/5 — Amazing classic *2017-03-26, version 1.1* Amazing remake of the classic game, remember playing hours and hours, highly recommend. ### 5/5 — So good! *2017-02-19, version 1.1* Happy to have found this game again! ### 5/5 — Glad that I found it again ! *2016-09-18, version 1.1* This game brings back lot of memories ! Wow those good old days of DOS games. So glad I found it again ! ### 5/5 — Best game EVER!! *2016-08-13* This is the best game of my childhood but just a minor few things that make the gameplay exactly like the original computer game. Such nostalgia man! ### 5/5 — Same as the old pc game *2016-06-03, version 1.1* This game is amazing, reminds me of the older pc version. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
