### 3/5 — Suppose it was only a matter of time

*2026-09-03*

I had held this one above the rest for not being flooded with overpriced paid dlc and actually sticking to “pay once and play” for a change, so was disappointed to see a tiny dlc (a single class and new gamemode) arrive that costs about as much as the game itself. I love this game but can’t justify paying for it again and again and again just to have access to new content as it’s released. It’s what drives a lot of regular players away as you always have that lingering thought of “this game has more content that I could be enjoying right now but it’s all locked behind a paywall. Whenever devs move their games to mobile and realise they have a huge fanbase there willing to pay again to own it on their mobile devices they inevitably get greedy I’ve watched this happen for 15 years.

### 3/5 — On s’attendrait quand même à un multijoueur

*2026-08-30*

C’est bien mais bon à ce prix faudrait quand même un mode multijoueur ou alors laisser le modo solo gratuit

### 3/5 — Attention jeu ADICTIF + 10€

*2026-08-09*

Sympa au débuts mais c’est très vite la même chose, puis c’est basé sur de le gratification instantanée donc on se prend des shoots de dopamine tout le long… je ne recommande pas ce jeux. C’était marron 3 parties après ça devient trop addictif, principalement car c’est trop facile. Le jeux complet coûte 10€ aussi.
C’est une machine à fric pour les dev au lieu d’être un jeu avec de l’âme.

### 4/5 — Backbone support please

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.6*

Great game but need controller support

### 4/5 — Vampire survivors 2.0

*2026-07-28, version 1.2.6*

Pretty much just vampire survivors 2.0

### 3/5 — Game is fine, paywalls are not

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.6*

Why on earth did I pay $18 for the game and I don’t even get all the content? Why are there skins still locked behind a paywall? Get real guys this is silly.

### 4/5 — Controller support

*2026-07-18, version 1.2.6*

Please

### 5/5 — ROCK & STONE BROTHERS!

*2026-07-05, version 1.2.5*

THANK YOU FOR THE BEST GAME EVA! LOVE IT! ROCK AND STONE!

### 5/5 — Great Mobile Game From One Of My Current Fav Game Series

*2026-07-04, version 1.2.5*

I just installed this game because I’ve heard quite a bit about it + I’m slowly becoming a big DRG fan. And at first, it seemed like your average “swarm shooting game” which made me a bit disappointed at first. But after giving the game enough time, it’s actually very fun to play and has it’s own unique features that sets it apart from most other generic “swarm shooting games” on the App Store. So far 10/10 and heavily considering buying the full version, especially while it’s on sale!

### 5/5 — Озвучку ?)

*2026-07-02, version 1.2.5*

Здравствуйте, скажите пожалуйста Русская озвучку  когда будет в игре?Очень жду) Спасибо.

### 5/5 — The game is absolutely fun but…

*2026-07-02, version 1.2.5*

Absolutely love the game but wish there was a way to prevent the game from lagging when many enemies are on screen and sometimes crashing the game. Other than that it’s great!

### 3/5 — Good game but….

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.4*

I liked the tutorial. It played well. Then I saw the price for the full game. This is a $5.00 game all day. I would never pay what they are asking so I hope they lower the price at some point.

### 5/5 — Ja!

*2026-06-28*

Einige beschweren sich über den Preis ohne zu wissen dass sie bei Werbefinanzierung oder Freemium ein vielfaches bezahlen. Meiner Meinung nach ist  der Preis durchaus angemessen. Auch wenn es auf dem Ipad 11 zu gelegentlichen Abstürzen kommt. Bislang bereitet es mir viel Vergnügen.
Edit: seit dem letzten Update keine Abstürze mehr.

### 2/5 — Decent game, but crash a lot

*2026-06-27*

Crashes every hour

### 5/5 — 😮‍💨💪🏽

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.4*

Need multiplayer 🫡

### 3/5 — Suppose it was only a matter of time, rip my old friend

*2026-06-25*

### 5/5 — Survivor.io without the greed

*2026-06-23, version 1.2.3*

Two years ago I was really into Survivor.io by Habby. I liked the gameplay, but it was such a slog to ignore the rampant IAPs and ads and just general money-grabbing. It was hard to stay free-to-play (but I did). I was very happy to find that this is a premium take on the genre. Same idea of gameplay, but no greedy loot boxes. I don’t have any history with this franchise so some of the terminology took me a bit to get, but this has become a daily grind for me now and I’m enjoying it very much.

### 5/5 — New ideas

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.2*

Can we add multiplayer without it having to use game center or using game center (BLUETOOTH CONNECTION) like the old days, can it be up to 6 players, can other survivors use the vehicles too and it be able to be used in multiplayer.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many bugd

*2026-08-10*

There are too many bugs with the game. A lot of weapons are not working the way it supposed to. For example, all grenade type weapon does not throw grenade properly at the later level. 

Acid corrosive pump with multiple beams do not shoot readily at later stage. 

It seems like the only weapon that is realiable is actually the one that shoots bullets. I will be making a refund

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.3*

Charging an additional 10$ for an expansion when the game is already 10$, this is a mobile game by the way.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.1*

Always crashing during a game

### 1/5 — Pay for the second time

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.1*

Who care what you add you forced us to pay for the second time to open the full game this is stupid

### 1/5 — Backbone support

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.1*

Before the DLC had come out, my backbone was working just fine, now that it’s out the controls no longer work.  Please work to add this to the game so I can enjoy using the Backbone again

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work on iphone15

*2026-06-06*

Bruh

### 1/5 — вылетает на боссах

*2026-06-06, version 1.1.5*

### 1/5 — A boring $10 walking sim. Pure repetition.

*2026-06-03, version 1.1.5*

The original game is a great co-op shooter, but this is just a dull auto-shooter where the character attacks on his own and you just walk in circles. The gameplay is incredibly monotonous. The enemies are all the exact same, and the bestiary is cut to a bare minimum. Locations don't change, and the entire "content" is just endless grinding for small stat percentages. Absolutely not worth the money, a complete snooze fest. Not recommended.

### 1/5 — horrible bug reporting

*2026-05-29, version 1.1.4*

you have to jump through hoops and than get responses like bot didn’t respond in time and their general chat isn’t very helpful they keep talking when asking for help and they don’t want you to dm them for help

### 1/5 — Good game but

*2026-05-28*

Crashes a lot

Update About A Unfair Bug: So I bought the full game and I’m enjoying it a lot. But theres a *very* annoying bug I want to point out. So about the Dreadnought twins, specifically the Arbalest, normally it’s supposed to run away from you to keep its distance if you approach it so it can, y’know continue to shoot projectiles at you. But sometimes, I have these absurdly unfair scenarios where the Arbalest just randomly decides to SPRINT at my character at an absurd speed that my character cannot outrun ( even if i upgrade my speed stats its still always faster :/ ) , and it doesn’t stop doing this until my character dies. It’s a REALLY unfair bug and I would like to ask Ghost Ship Games if this can be fixed. Please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Tolle Portierung

*2026-08-12*

Ich hab das Spiel schon auf Steam, läuft auf dem IPhone perfekt, super für unterwegs :)

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-05, version 1.2.6*

Super love this game bros

### 5/5 — good times

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.6*

this game is fun but it makes me angry. so often do I get to the final boss and then die. occasionally even dying after the final boss but before getting to the drop pod. i think touch controls has a lot to do with that. the demolisher in particular is super hard to control well on mobile with no controller. but still 5/5

### 5/5 — ROCK AND STONE!

*2026-07-24, version 1.2.6*

Easily one of the best mobile ports I have ever played. 

Incredibly addicting. 

Runs flawlessly on my iPhone 15 Plus, battery drain is barely noticeable, can play for long sessions without any overheating.

### 5/5 — DRG

*2026-07-24, version 1.2.6*

Great game great graphics without a lot of microtransactions

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.6*

Wish more games of this type were available. This one is awesome.

### 5/5 — 好游戏

*2026-07-16, version 1.2.6*

画面清晰，内容丰富，耐玩性强。

### 5/5 — У вас, эльфов нет пива

*2026-07-07, version 1.2.5*

Отличный рогалик, если нужно убить пол часика самое то

### 5/5 — 시간살살녹음

*2026-07-06*

진짜 재밌음
