### 4/5 — Display ratio

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.1*

Need to adjust the ratio/layout..my iPhone not getting the full display gameplay experience…

### 5/5 — Шедевр

*2026-07-31*

Композитору соундтрека в меню огромный респект! Жалко нет продолжения. Несколько смартфонов сменил. На каждом была эта игра. Так и не пройду всё её))

### 1/5 — Absurd

*2026-06-22, version 1.1.1*

Buying weapons is pointless you can’t put them where you want to. You can’t get rid of them on iOS. I’m stuck with a bunch of expensive weapons and I’m only allowed to put one in one slot. I have two other slots, but I can’t put the weapons on the other two slots. I can put the weapons that are useless in the other two slots but not the ones I purchase. So I got three weapon slots and I can only use one powerful one. And only certain weapons go in certain lots so a secondary weapon in the secondary slot, you can’t choose it’s absurd.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-07, version 1.1.1*

Great game

### 4/5 — The game is okay

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.1*

It’s okay but I hate the fact that weapons and armor disappear.

### 3/5 — ACİL GÜNCELLEME GEREKLİ!

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.1*

Güzel ve keyifli bir oyun, ama son güncellemesinden beri çok vakit geçti. Acil güncelleme lazım!

### 5/5 — Great and loving it!

*2026-04-03, version 1.1.1*

Well I’m on a iPad 2( yes a old dino for what’s is out there) and this game and the 1st one play perfectly fine and also offline too. Yes the guns should be alittle cheaper as well as the up grades but whatever, I just play over and over getting better at the boards and all. But thank you for this and the OG one! For how old my iPad is I’m limited to what I can play, and I’m glad this works for me. Thanx again and keep up the good work! And you can also play different characters as well!

### 5/5 — Le meilleur fps !
