### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-08-11, version 5.1*

The game is honestly good and worth a try. But dude your shop has a clear bug. It made me buy the same gun twice and now my creds are in the negative. Now only that the game keeps spazzing out at later levels. I have earned over 20k coins and the gun i bought didnt appear and it made me buy twice now my. Coins in negative. Nicee

### 2/5 — Weapon buying bug

*2024-10-20*

If i buy a new weapon then the old weapon i bought gets deleted and i have to buy again cant you restore this bug?

### 2/5 — Insane potential, but riddled with bugs

*2023-12-04, version 5.1*

I used to love this game in high school. It was unique, and had a lot of potential. I still think that. But it has way too many bugs for it to be worth playing at this point in time. Just to give a few examples of game breaking bugs that anyone can and will easily encounter:
• The background glitches in and out quite often, which can mess with your eyes and possibly trigger seizures for people with epilepsy
• Sometimes, when the background glitches, enemies will just disappear entirely, with only their healthbar remaining. They can’t attack, meaning you can’t even counterattack them. It can be very annoying sometimes.
• The wolf enemy will randomly move on slow motion during its second attack, and because the bite shows up so early, it makes timing a counterattack against that attack very difficult if not impossible.
• Buying weapons just… doesn’t work. You’ll buy the gun, but it won’t take you out of the menu for buying that gun. If you tap it again, it’ll take out the gold to buy that weapon AGAIN, and if you do that enough, you can easily go into the negatives. On top of that, the guns don’t actually stay bought. I’ve bought multiple guns, only to just now find out they don’t stay bought once you’ve bought them. I wasted 30k gold on a gun and now I just can’t get that back.
• Some achievements simply don’t work. Because of the gun buying glitch, you can’t actually unlock the “buy your first weapon” achievement. I also haven’t unlocked the “unlock all upgrades” acheievement despite having all the upgrades.

Overall, while I think this game has an awesome concept, and the execution of the gameplay is a satisfying gameplay loop, these game breaking bugs completely ruin the experience and immersion. For the future of this otherwise amazing mobile game, please fix these bugs 🙏

### 2/5 — Used to be my favorite mobile game

*2023-12-03, version 5.1*

Game is super glitchy. I remember playing this years ago but now it slows down the gameplay so much it’s about impossible.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2023-08-13, version 5.1*

When I watch ads somehow it literally freeze my game but at least it didn’t happen all the time

### 4/5 — Fix game

*2023-03-18, version 5.1*

This game is very good but have an error too bad

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2023-03-09, version 5.1*

Sometime the background flash black like white like a broken screen

### 2/5 — bugs

*2022-11-13*

the game has many bugs.  Does not save some purchases, crashes when buying, then makes two purchases, silver coins (hard to get) are NEGATIVE!  Please fix this!

### 3/5 — 버그

*2022-06-01, version 5.1*

무기가 중복으로 구매되어서 돈이 마이너스가 되는 버그가 있습니다

### 3/5 — Way too many bugs

*2022-02-24, version 5.1*

I used to play this game when I was a kid and it was fun I just got this game back and now there are a bunch of bugs. 1. The background glitches out a lot. 2. Sometimes the enemies disappear and you can only see the health bar. 3. This is the worst because the game will let me upgrade my character but it won’t let me buy and guns and when I try to it puts a different gun on the screen and it says ok if you press ok it will then take the amount of money your spending on the gun you want and it won’t give you the gun if you keep doing it you will end up with negative in game currency. I really hope you can fix the game it was fun when I used to play it but there are to many bugs which makes it unplayable.

### 3/5 — The game is not what it used to be

*2021-11-05, version 5.00*

The character shoots by himself an the parry is all weird and offbeat, it’s not what it was when I first played it, you can’t even buy guns, outfits or armor anymore🤦🏽‍♂️

### 4/5 — Good time killer

*2021-10-17, version 5.00*

I used to play this game all the time when I was younger, spending hours just listening to music and relaxing as the gameplay is just simple enough to be able to not put much mind into it. Story isn't bad either, although as a kid I never got far and didn't understand it well.

### 2/5 — You guys went downhill

*2021-10-05, version 5.00*

I want to say that devil eater is an extremely fun game and I had a blast playing it. However, I want to say that devil eater reboot just doesn’t work with me and if it was the devil eater I first experienced, I wouldn’t have enjoyed any of it.

### 2/5 — review

*2021-07-31, version 5.00*

It’s fine 
But I prefer the old one

### 3/5 — Bug

*2020-12-28, version 5.00*

Fun game but can’t play effectively due to bug where part of the iPhone Siri/cards page shows up while playing.

### 1/5 — Bug money

*2024-09-19, version 5.1*

เวลาซื้อปืนหรือสกินแล้วกดซื้อซ้ำมันจะเสียเงินจนติดลบ

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-10-29, version 5.00*

Not as good as it used to be, the former mechanics that the game had made it such a better game especially the character designs but now this game is nothing more than garbage

### 1/5 — Recent Update

*2021-08-06, version 5.00*

Not a fan at all of the recent update with the new game mechanics. Should’ve just created an entirely separate game. It’s a shame

### 1/5 — Regarding the new version

*2021-01-02, version 5.00*

PLEASE bring back the old mechanics. This new one feels 100% less interactive and gives a more brainless experience. Before you had to do so much more to attack and counter enemies moves but now it’s so slow and attacking is automatic. Please make some sort of alternate version or something where you can play old version.

### 1/5 — 문제 확인좀 해주세요

*2020-03-24, version 4.01*

자꾸 만남 실패라고 뜨는데 확인좀 해주세요

### 1/5 — Сделайте уже перевод

*2019-12-25*

Не понимаю как пройти второго босса!!! Дрочусь уже неделю!!! Оружие мощное. На блоки с отбиванием реагирует через раз. Что делать??!!! Перевод срочно!!! Не понимаю!!!

### 1/5 — Stolen

*2019-08-31, version 4.01*

I bought two things from the store with real money, one from a celestial. And it gave me neither one of them. It did however charge it to my bank account but never gave me the weapons. Very upset with this ordeal.

### 1/5 — 怎麼改中文？

*2019-02-21, version 4.01*

如題？

### 1/5 — 폰이 고장인 지 게임 내부 버그인지

*2019-02-02*

반격 누른 직후에 또 반격 버튼을 누르면 스킬샷이 나갑니다. 

  반격 직후 공격을 눌러도 가끔 그러는 느낌이네요.

  같은 디자인 반복에 기본 디자인 자체가 저퀄리티인 게임 입니다. 손 맛 자체는 괜찮은 편이지만 로드컴플리트 회사의 오점이라고 볼 만큼 다른 게임에 비해서 퀄이 떨어집니다. 아무래도 과거에 만든 게임이라 그런거겠죠?

### 5/5 — Underdog of a game

*2023-11-21, version 5.1*

Hella entertaining, you need timing skill to play this game and the progression is addicting, very underrated game for how many reviews there are

### 5/5 — IT'S BACK😃

*2023-08-19, version 5.1*

AUGUST 18th 2023

Thank You for listening to us. Bout to have somemore fun!

Edit: Feb 8 2021 Sooooooo you are not gonna listen to us?... To the previous mechanics. I like the new art style though i really don't like this new version. After the first boss it is next to impossible to progress. You simplified the upgrades & took away the weapons & skins. I was doing so great before this. You took out everything that made it fun. What's the reason you took out the arsenal? In four years this iz what we get? Your game iz not fun. Those of us that have had the previous versions know. Please bring the fun old version back and improve on it or leave it as it wuz instead of giving your new & old fans this.

### 5/5 — Harika

*2023-06-28, version 5.1*

Gerçekten çok iyi bir oyun çok beğendim bazı hatalar var fakat genel olarak çok iyi

### 5/5 — Much fun!

*2023-03-05, version 5.1*

I love this game.
Keep update the game, please.

### 5/5 — 버그가 많습니다

*2023-01-09*

재미 있습니다 그런데 버그가 너무 많습니다. 1. 강아지 몬스터의 공격 모션이 간헐적으로 느려지고, 몬스터들이 강헐적으로 아에 투명해집니다. 체력 바는 보이는데 모습이 사라지고, 이 버그가 생기면 그 게임 내내 화면이 번쩍입니다. 2. 총 상점에서 총을 구매할 때 총을 구매 해도 구매를 진행하는 팝업이 계속 떠 있고, 바알의 손가락 이라는 총이 구매됬다고 뜹니다(실재로는 구매 안되있구요)그리고 그 상태에서 총 구매하기를 실수로라도 다시 누르면 돈이 한번 더 나갑니다. 그래서 돈이 -로 가네요.

### 5/5 — 버그

*2022-12-18*

버그좀 고쳐주세요 진짜 너무 갓겜이여서 옛날에 엄청많이 했는데요 지금은 버그땜에 못하겠어요 상점의 총 버그랑 미션도 버그가 있네요 제발 고쳐주세요 제발….

### 5/5 — My review

*2022-01-18*

Since I got a new phone, I have been waiting to play this game again. Thankyou

### 5/5 — Ruined the game with new update

*2021-09-12, version 5.00*

I had so much progress. I was grinding to get the best weapon in game to finally beat the game. I was on like 375 kills. You simplified the game to the point its just bad. The animation was good before the update but its just bad right now. Its too simple. PLEASE GO BACK.

### 5/5 — Shocked it’s updated

*2021-03-14, version 5.00*

Been playing since iPhone 6 on and off. I got it in March 2021 and shocked they rebooted it. It looks so good and plays great.

It’s awesome the new style but I wish we choose what to upgrade. It seems completely free to play so that’s why I keep the five stars.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2020-12-31, version 5.00*

Not gonna lie I like the old one better.
