Honestly I’m very impressed by what you can do. I’ve never really been the hero or the villain type which is why I like this game. Typically villains are too foolish and heroes are idealistic. This game allowed me to be a good villain and to me that’s helping the people whilst also providing for your henchmen. Honestly a great game and this is only what I got from 2 chapters. Fun to play sadly you have to pay to go further. Thus I’m only able to rate it based off the 2 free chapters and the fact you have to pay to play any further. The writing and story and gameplay are great but that is only up to the 2 chapters I’ve played through. ### 4/5 — I love this *2019-03-17* Don’t change anything about this game but please do more like it. It’s the best one of the rest of you’re games ### 3/5 — Not serious enough for me... *2018-09-04* Don’t get me wrong, great idea! Getting to be the bad guy of your own world? Brilliant! But with this? I don’t feel like a villain... I feel like another edgy teenager that wants to be taken seriously. This is mainly in part as to what choice you have, besides having some be completely pointless, most just feel silly... and I’m not talking ‘The Joker’ kinda silly, cuz with him he’s still scary as his silly antics lead to a dangerous outcome... this, however, fails to make me feel like a threat. Still a good game & a beautiful concept... just- a poor execution. ### 4/5 — I don't know *2017-08-29* I really liked the free trial but I'm a little hesitant to spend 5$ on the whole thing. If we're being honest here though I probably will buy it. Alas, my will is soft and easily broken. Curses. And thanks. ### 3/5 — Okay *2017-03-28, version 1.0.0* It didn't really give you a lot of choices, but the writing was experienced, and humor was implemented accordingly. However, I think it would make it a little better if there were more choices that could affect the story further. ### 5/5 — It is awesome and I have a idea *2017-03-07* This is by far one of in not my favorite choice of game it is great I've played through multiple times and I have a idea I like games that allow you to be the villain so I think you should make a choice of alien were you play as a alien general or something and you choose ways to conquer planets you can have a love life maybe with other species and in one ending you become the ruler of your race or something thank you for your time ### 5/5 — Trick *2017-01-16, version 1.0.0* The game only gives you 2 chapters then you pay 4 dollars other than the ripoff it's a good game please fix that ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2016-12-29, version 1.0.0* This was amaaazing! ### 5/5 — Effin amazing *2016-12-12, version 1.0.0* Though the only part of this game is free, i really enjoyed the concept and options. A good mix of cartoony and action. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! Best ever! *2016-11-28* I loved it from start to finish one of the greatest novel app's ever! ### 5/5 — dang *2016-11-03, version 1.0.0* very endearing. beautifully written and interesting characters. more than anything: unbelievably funny! definitely a bit of a change from most other games by choice of games, but i really enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-11-01* I enjoyed it a lot ### 5/5 — Sequel *2016-10-15, version 1.0.0* This game, along with choice of the dragon, needs a sequel ### 5/5 — Great *2016-08-08* Definitely hilarious. Try the first two chapters free and if you like them definitely worth a buy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — don't buy it! *2019-05-28* the story is nice but it's way too short considering I have payed 6,99€ for it. there are way better alternatives in the appstore which cost as much or less. ### 1/5 — Money *2018-08-04* My parents are never going to let me buy the 499 part but I really ### 1/5 — Jerks *2018-06-27* Forcing people to pay money. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2018-06-14* They only have like two actual free games the rest are overpriced ### 1/5 — Poor in Comparison *2016-01-28, version 1.0.0* I love the concept of being the villain, I really do. But if you compare this to some of the other Choice Of games, it really lacks both in content and choices. The price is simply too high with too light of content and choice for it to be a serious recommendation. STEER CLEAR, and go play a DIFFERENT Choice Of game. ### 1/5 — Nope. Not for me. *2015-12-09, version 1.0.0* Most of the choices doesnt affect really well to the character I wanted to be. 'Cause most of the time the MC seems to be pretty foolish to me. A bit linear to be exact. You know those kind of games that will make you immerse in the story because of the choices and how it reflects back to to you as the MC. This does not make feel that way. I'm sorry but this game is just disappointing. I wish they made more improvements to the character development. ### 2/5 — Was fun *2017-06-05* Until they charged five dollars for the whole game ### 2/5 — Good first time round, boring 2nd time round *2016-08-11, version 1.0.0* Loved the story first time round. Was very disappointed to find your choices have close to zero impact on the story. ### 2/5 — Hardly any 'choices' *2015-12-15* There are a few games, now, within CoG's repertoire that I would qualify as interactive literature in the vein that we probably all look for.... So many of the recent releases, however, scarcely allow you to develop your character with any sort of decision making and proves quite annoying. I understand that to do so requires more work but in purchasing these games, we are paying you for that work. This game specifically reads very juvenile and leads you down paths without any decision of your own that may seem very out of place for what you'd actually like to do. It's frustrating and has led me to not even finish some of the games I have purchased from CoG. They just aren't fun. If you want continued business, go back to the highly interactive releases that are truly worth my money. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2015-11-08* I typically purchase anything Choice of Games puts out sight unseen because the quality is consistently high. Unfortunately, Diabolical is the most disappointing Choice of Games product I've played. The writing is acceptable, but for a game that's supposed to be centered on making choices and playing the lead character in your own way, there are very few real choices to be made that determine anything of significance. Most of the key plot points are pre-decided and not affected by anything you decide at all, including your character making silly and out-of-character decisions that make little sense. There are plenty of spots where the author could have allowed for more choices to be made, but instead they make the decision for you and tell you what happens. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-07-28* Wish I had the money to buy the rest of this. Loved the first two chapters and will come back as soon as I can! ### 5/5 — Game *2020-04-06* The game is brilliant it be cool to do another diabolical 2 it was the best villain game story ever ### 5/5 — Download if you like good things *2019-04-22* Oh my god I freaking love this game, amazing So good ### 5/5 — Best choice game ever *2017-11-08* This was absolutely the best choice game I have ever played. It had a great plot, a lot of funny moments, and lots 'o' lovely characters and choices to make. Although I wish there were a longer story and maybe more choices. Also I wish it weren't that easy to kill Dr. Arachnus. I'm going to download more choice of games games and I also purchased the rest of the story with no. Hesitation at all. Thanks you!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-06-12* Worth the money, loved this game!! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal Store *2017-06-03* This was an incredibly engaging story that surprised me on many occasions with just how wacky it could get. A great choice game for people looking to entertain the villain inside themselves! ### 5/5 — Soo Good *2017-05-26* I would pay for a sequel for this game ### 5/5 — Very awesome! *2017-05-17* I love interactive novels in general, this one is one of the best tho. With a nice sense of humor, action and suspense, it's really a 5 star game! ### 5/5 — Werewolf game *2017-05-08, version 1.0.0* I have yet to play a Choice of Game that I didn't like. I see you have a vampire story but not a werewolf. I would be ecstatic if you could release one sometime in the future. That being said, diabolical is one of my favorites. Got to love when the protagonist is the main character. ### 5/5 — Great writing! *2017-03-27* It's very well written and quite entertaining! Author's witty and ironic style makes it very enjoyable - will replay it several times to explore different plot branches --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
