One of the best games I have ever played! ### 5/5 — Great game, amazing thing to help pass time *2026-06-23, version 3.5.12-epic* The game is fun, I only ask that it didn’t stop my music or podcast and that if I choose to have the static moving stick that I can move it in my settings rather than the game just choosing what it thinks is best ### 5/5 — This is just a master piece *2026-06-15, version 3.5.9* The first time I played the game it was so interesting and it made my boredom go away when I couldn’t have TikTok or Roblox it’s such a definitely pay and play game ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-06-11, version 3.5.12-epic* Bought this game on every platform imaginable and poured hours into it and it’s peak. Please add some sort of save game to cloud feature, I’ve lost countless hours starting from scratch when playing across devices and when I got it on my new iPhone I was disappointed that it didn’t transfer my progress across devices even with Apple’s cross generation data transfers ### 5/5 — W *2026-06-08, version 3.5.12-epic* This is my favorite game ### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games *2026-06-05, version 3.5.12-epic* The game is extremely addictive and the best part is that I can play it offline, it made my 9h overseas trip wayyyy more enjoyable ### 5/5 — Still haven’t beat the lighthouse *2026-05-29, version 3.5.12-epic* Awesome game. Not easy at all but fun. I’m not sure how much easier this game is on pc or console but I gotta imagine this is hardest version. ### 5/5 — Best work time killer *2026-05-14, version 3.5.12-epic* My days go by a little quicker. Awesome game! ### 5/5 — Legitimately amazing game *2026-05-12, version 3.5.9* Bought it for fun. Didn’t expect to play for 100+ hours and honestly doesn’t even feel like a grind. Everything is paced so well that you always explore something new. New places new runes new weapons new enemies. I love it ### 5/5 — Meu deus *2026-05-11* E perfeito eu to viciado **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Best Mobile Game Hands Down *2026-05-09, version 3.5.9* I been playing this game for years and I’m still not bored. Once you get some really good equipment and good synergy the combat becomes insane and very satisfying. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Satisfecho *2026-05-05, version 3.5.9* Súper bueno ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2026-04-26* But I’ve lost my save and there was nothing I could do. ### 5/5 — Perfect Games???? *2026-04-25, version 3.5.9* THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED EVER. ### 5/5 — Lack of updates *2026-04-09, version 3.5.12-epic* ik you abandoned the game but this shouldn’t be abandoned ### 5/5 — Highly addictive *2026-04-06, version 3.5.9* So the game premise is simple and I honestly didn’t expect much, but oh boy, is that one of the most addictive games I’ve ever played. Nothing like that since Diablo 2… Also what makes it work for me is the assist mode. No need to suffer in frustration, just adjust for either challenge or chill gameplay. My favorite is 5 boss cells at 20% (lowest difficulty). Makes gameplay super fluid and no need to spend hours killing super tanky enemies. ### 5/5 — Best phone game *2026-04-01, version 3.5.12-epic* Highly recommended, this is by far the best game on phone you could dream of ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2026-08-11, version 3.5.9* Do not download this game for iPhone. Controls don’t work correctly and weapons don’t perform as described. Piss poor development. Very glitchy. Wish I could give 0 out of 5. ### 1/5 — Why is “null access” a thing *2026-06-18, version 3.5.9* I can’t continue anything and i have no idea why, this has been out for years why does this still have problems. ### 1/5 — Audio looping issue makes it unplayable. *2026-05-22, version 3.5.9* This is one of my favourite games of all time. I decided to buy it again including all dlc on iOS as I have a backbone controller. It runs incredibly well and feels great on the iPhone 14 Pro. The reason for the one star is that it feels absolutely unplayable for the fact that the audio constantly loops with certain sound effects. Sounds such as slam, crit, attack, death sound. All seem to loop up to 5-6 times and it sounds ridiculous. I can’t find a way to solve this issue at all. Which is a shame. I really hope this is fixed to make it playable on iOS. Thank you for creating a gem of a game. Please fix this issue I beg. ### 1/5 — Вот *2026-02-06, version 3.5.12-epic* Начал играть и очень понравилось….Пока не оказалось, что каждый раз после смерти начинать надо всё с самого начала, без всего. Что за бред вообще ### 1/5 — Dead cells sucks *2026-01-30, version 3.5.12-epic* This game is rediculious I had to restart the whole game after dying I vomited because how bad you game is ### 1/5 — Puto juego *2025-12-17, version 3.5.9* Solo un golpe y me mata el jefe,solo un golpe no tienes que fallar ni un golpe ni dejar que te golpeen si no quieres morir de un solo golpe, para lo que pague no valió la pena ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing on iPhone 15 pro *2025-12-09, version 3.5.9* Less than a minute into the game and the game freezes, rendering it totally unplayable. ### 1/5 — Game Crashed *2025-11-15, version 3.5.9* My game crashed while I was fighting the Time Keeper ### 1/5 — The best game🫡 *2025-10-06, version 3.5.9* I play this game on my playstation and phone and ts is the best game ive playe ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-08-12, version 3.5.6* Love this game,sadly it always crashes on my iPad b4 I can play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easily worth the price *2026-08-26, version 3.5.9* I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but whatever my expectations were, they were blown away. I was traveling and bored and this game does a wonderful job of keeping me engaged which for me is insane for a mobile game. If you are contemplating getting this game, I would encourage it. So much fun. Oh also the broadsword goes craaaazy ### 5/5 — BEST GAME OF ALL TIME *2026-08-26, version 3.5.9* Beautiful game, amazing combat, amazing storyline, amazing pacing, perfect difficulty for every player, aura characters.
