You can exit to title and save manually, but that doesnt mean the game actually saved. Even if it does save then, it could revert to a previous save at any point in the future, throwing any progress away. I know this is the case too because I soft-locked myself behind the door to fight the last lord and had to exit and save, then reload to spawn on the correct side of the door. Closed the app and reloaded the save, right where i was with no issue. An hour later I exit and save after using the clock tower (unlocks after beating last lord), reloaded the save and I am back before beating betty. What is the point of a save feature if it doesnt actually save? ### 2/5 — Doesnt save progress. *2025-06-30* Such a good game gone to waste. I completed 1 dungeon a half of another, found 4 gems, accuired another spell, etc. in one sitting and none of it was saved even though I selected “go back to title screen” which deliberately tells you it will save the progress from your last used door. I was about to face the frog boss and activated that door before you get to him and went through it. Thats 2 hours worth of gameplay gone and its not easy to accomplish all of these tasks. this the second time this has happened but this time it was too much that was lost. I rather just delete the game entirely before it really gets frustrating. “which it already is” ### 4/5 — INCREDIBLE game. horrible saving. *2025-05-26* i love this game!!! it’s so fun. i’ve really been enjoying playing it. it’s inventive, the graphics are wonderful, the storyline is interesting, and the world-building is great. i’ve now lost my progress twice. there needs to be a save button or something, because i’ve now lost several hours worth of progress two times and it’s really frustrating to have to re-do the big boss fights and crystal finding again. fights can also be difficult to complete at times because of the size of the buttons. my fingers are big and the phone controls are oh so tiny. if there were a way to customize the controls more, that would also be awesome. otherwise, this game is incredible! i’m just frustrated i have to redo exactly what i just did… ### 4/5 — Excellent game play but horrible save dynamics *2025-05-16, version 1.2.5* This game is beautiful graphic wise and the story is actually very interesting. Great concept and perfect execution of controls and ease of game play. I really enjoy the puzzles and hidden items. Creates longer game time and actually makes you have to think. Just the right difficultly. Very fun. My only issue is when you die you spawn at the only save point which is at the very start of the map. It is so unbelievably frustrating to have to replay with no checkpoints along the way. Would be amazing if the seed pots were respawn points after dying. I had to take a break multiple times because I got so unbelievably mad knowing I would have to replay half the map to get to where I died. Other than that the game is so much fun and I hope they create another WITH checkpoints. Highly recommend. Great game. ### 4/5 — good but no save *2025-04-30, version 1.2.5* brilliant gameplay (bit hard at first but overall good) and amazing characterisation, graphics and worldbuilding. but it deletes all my progress whenever I exit the app. i can't find any sort of save button and it is very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Good game shadowed by bad management *2025-04-18* The game is great, as seen on many reviews online. However, I had to stop playing the game because of continued loss of game progress. I reached out to Netflix but only got basic support like “turn off your phone and restart” which was completely useless as this looks quite clearly that this is a cloud save issue. Also they promised to elevate this issue and get back to me but never happened. I don’t want to stress out on a game, so decided to stop wasting time on this. Sad. Would have been a 5-star game but had to take 2 away because of save issues that have not been fixed for the past 6 months or so. ### 2/5 — The saving doesn’t work *2025-04-09, version 1.2.5* This game is fun and a very rewarding challenge, but the saving sometimes doesn’t work well and I lose hours of progress and have to redo it. This means if I beat a hard boss and then “saved” and exited, I would somehow lose that progress gained and have no choice but to redo the entire process. Please look into it as this game has so much potential if you would just get the saving right. ### 2/5 — Saving does not work *2025-04-04, version 1.2.5* Would be a 10/10 game but the save system, on iPhone at least, does not work. I closed the app at about 40% progress then reopened and it set me back to 4%. Then I replayed everything and did not close the app for 3 days as I knew it would not save it again. I got to 94% progress and 12 hours of playtime. Closed the app and was set back to 4% progress again. Devs please fix this. ### 3/5 — Amazing design, will not save *2025-03-28, version 1.2.5* I looked forward to sitting down and playing this game every day. The music, graphics and character design are outstanding. BUT after many hours of play it returned back to a previous dungeon's save. So frustrating because the bosses are frustratingly hard to beat. I'm not gonna go through that again. It's a shame. ### 2/5 — Great Game / Won’t Save *2025-03-01, version 1.2.5* Honestly, just get this for your PC from steam. This iOS version literally will not save at times causing you to lose hours of progress. It’s extremely frustrating. ### 3/5 — Great Game, if you’re okay with never progressing *2025-02-23, version 1.2.5* Like everyone is saying, it doesn’t save progress very well. One time it set me back so fast that I just deleted the game, cause it’s frustrating and not worth it. Other than the saving progress bug, the game plays very well, with good animations and ambiance. It’s a nice game, really. ### 4/5 — Progress save is buggy *2025-02-11, version 1.2.5* Very fun game, but sometimes progress saving is a bit buggy, when I cleared the flooded ruins and killed the frog king I came back and my progress was all gone ### 3/5 — Non salva e perdo i progressi *2025-02-08* In se come gioco è molto caratteristico, dalle musiche alla grafica molto particolare. Si spende tempo molto volentieri nel giocarci, ma non esiste che ogni volta che chiudo il gioco devo ricominciare praticamente dall’inizio. È già tre volte che devo ripartire dal cimitero avendo già fatto la strega delle urne e la foresta. Mi ha fatto davvero passare la voglia. Peccato perché sarei stato curioso di vedere come sarebbe continuato ### 2/5 — Borra avance *2025-02-08* Todo bien con el juego, pero no guarda bien tu avance y te retrocede bastante cuando ya estás a mitad del juego😭 arréglenlo porfavor ### 1/5 — Great game but Saving issues *2025-02-05* I absolutely loved the game but giving one star because I keep losing my progress every other day. Lost my hours of progress twice and uninstalled the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — save issues *2025-05-19, version 1.2.5* lost an hour of progress even tho i ostensibly saved when i quit to title and closed the app. not gonna try to go through two whole bosses again. deleting this app ### 1/5 — Checkpoints *2025-05-17, version 1.2.5* It’s really annoying after dying having to walk back from the door and to save the game I have to go to home screen before closing the game. Not ideal! After dying whilst fighting a boss I should appear in front of it and start again not from the door!!!! ### 1/5 — Error al guardar *2025-05-04, version 1.2.5* Tiene (en mi caso) un error enorme a la hora de guardar el progreso, después de haber jugado unas 6 horas perdí todo lo que habia hecho y estaba saliendo correctamente sin cerrar el juego a la fuerza. ### 1/5 — Lost Save Progress *2025-05-01, version 1.2.5* I returned to title screen to save the game and closed it and when I returned I had lost all save progress. I had all the weapons and was only missing the hookshot upgrade and was on my way to face the ice fortress boss. All gone ### 1/5 — Never saved properly *2025-04-16* The game was fun to play and it was great to explore and figure out every puzzle. The disappointment from this game tho came from the saving feature. It didn’t have a proper working one. In the game, your progress was saved when you walked through a door or advanced through a cut scene. For whatever reason, my save file never worked that way and only saved when it wanted to. I do think it probably worked for others perfectly but for whatever reason it never did for me. ### 1/5 — Very Good game BUT the doesn’t save properly *2025-04-15, version 1.2.5* Having lots of fun with this mobile souls like game but the amount of times it hasn’t saved my progress is EXTREMELY frustrating. I’ve played through portions of multiple times. Just lost about two hours worth for no apparent reason. Please fix this issue, I want to see it through but no point playing any game if you can’t save your progress. ### 1/5 — Save bugs *2025-03-23, version 1.2.5* Every time I close the app it resets me hours in progress I was at the lord of doors boss fight and it reset me to the first part of the frog kings area I tried to use the save feature but it resets me anyways it is a good game other than this but I don’t want to binge 3 hrs of it only to have it reset ### 1/5 — Frozen *2025-03-08, version 1.2.5* When first downloaded worked fine but now will freeze on startup. Restarting and reloading or updating has no effect. Iphone 14. ### 1/5 — App Crashes Every Time I Try to Open it *2025-02-18, version 1.2.5* I literally can’t even play the game. I don’t know why I expected this Netflix Game to work when like 90% of the other Netflix Games have so many bugs that they are unplayable. Netflix these to figure out how to fix their games, because it should not be the case that virtually every game I try to play ends up not working. ### 1/5 — Lost whole game near the end *2025-02-11, version 1.2.5* I absolutely loved this brilliant game which I got for free through Netflix. The game goes on for ever however I was near the end and my whole progress disappeared. I contacted Netflix, they told me that tech were working on it but I never got it back. I am so disappointed 😫I’ve since downloaded it again but I now have a completely blank screen, so disappointed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! 5 stars. *2025-07-07* Fun levels, puzzles, and boses. Combat was awesome. Art and feel of the game is amazing. Can’t say enough good things about this game. Playing on a phone was a little frustrating at the end game where precise control mattered a little more… and I wish the weapons you picked up were more varied. Sword you start with is the best for almost the entire game. A tiny bit more of in game instruction would have been nice. Figured out everything on my own eventually but wasted a lot of time looping back for missed things. Should have let players know about the drop attack. Went through 80% of the game before I figured out the sewer grates. All Minor things that didn’t take away from the experience. Props to the devolper. A joy to play. ### 5/5 — 100% completion *2025-03-15* Great game! No internet required. Control gets easier the more you play. Great story, great gameplay. Love how you gets stronger and unlock new abilities throughout the game. After the final fight there’s a secret ending and other stuff to do. At last after 18 hours into it with exploring, walkthrough in the end, I was able to complete 100%. Very satisfying!! ### 5/5 — Easy to learn, fun experience *2025-02-24* After beating the game’s first ending, i thought i would have to use a tutorial but the built in guides(Pothead) helped with the last things and, yes the backtracking took a while, but it was fun finding new puzzles i hadn’t seen before. Stoked for the extra bosses other than the 3, love to get into more games like this. ### 5/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2025-02-11, version 1.2.5* Best app ever! If you download you will be ADDICTED, that being said i am not the type of person to EVER get into mobile app games, but i was on netflix scrolling through their app selection and downloaded a few games that looked slightly appealing. The other games… RUBBISH, however upon getting started into Deaths Door, man oh man. The style of the game, the plot, hidden gems and cool funky characters, this game got me doing nothing else but playing. I’d be excited to get home to play it, plus i had broken up with my boyfriend and this app didn’t even allow me to have a second thought. When me and my boyfriend got together turns out he had been playing the game too, was a great conversation that we had, rekindled within the snap of a finger. ### 5/5 — À faire *2025-02-05* Excellent jeu ### 5/5 — Avaliação *2025-02-01* Q jogo maravilhoso, ele tem uma história q te prende. Perfeito ### 5/5 — Sublime *2025-01-24* Un jeu d’aventure fluide, avec un fond poétique, des combats, des quêtes le tout dans une atmosphère sublime. Rien à dire de plus, expérience au top ### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo / Encontrei um BUG *2025-01-21* Após quebrar os vasos que se regeneram ao ficar em cima deles o personagem fica preso. infelizmente tendo que voltar todo o percurso, enfim apenas um bug ### 5/5 — Une grande aventure *2025-01-08* Le jeu est à la hauteur de sa DA, l’histoire est vraiment bien, la difficulté est bien dosée. Un plaisir à finir et à compléter. ### 5/5 — Salvar automático *2025-01-07* Muito bom, porém não avisam que tem que salvar o jogo sempre que sair… perdi todo o meu progresso que joguei durante horas seguidas --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
