Really hoping this gets an iPhone X update, guys! ### 5/5 — Super! *2018-01-29* Manchmal findet man eben doch noch versteckte Perlen, hierbei handelt es sich um eine. Ein knackiger Endzeit-RPG-Plattformer mit liebevoll gezeichneter Grafik, (kommt auf den Screens nicht so gut rüber) toller Story, mit stereotypischen aber perfekt in die Welt passenden Endzeit-Charakteren, sowie unzähligen Anspielungen und Eastereggs aus allen bekannten und weniger bekannten Sci-Fi, Zombie- und anderen Nerduniversen, von Alien bis TWD. Die Steuerung ist FREI konfigurierbar, keine Ahnung wie man da Probleme mit haben kann. Wichtig ist nur Schilde, die Melee-Rammatacke und die Granaten auch wirklich intelligent zu benutzen, sowie die Perks und (sehr zahlreichen) Waffen bzw. deren Schadensberechnung und Affixe zu verstehen(!), dabei hilft notfalls Google, dann ist es zwar stellenweise immernoch fordernd aber nicht unschaffbar. Für den Preis und den Umfang (man kann mit Nebenquests und Secrets locker 25 Std. dran sitzen), ist es auf jeden Fall ein absoluter Pflichtkauf. ### 4/5 — One of the better Post Apocalyptic games on AppStore *2017-12-23, version 1.6.0* Think of it like a cross between Fallout and Rage, but a bit watered down and presented in 2 dimensions. I needn’t say more. Great game, definitely recommend it. Hours of great fun. My only gripe is that it hasn’t yet been optimized for iPhone X. Would be a solid 5 stars otherwise. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-12-15, version 1.6.0* Gr8 ### 4/5 — わがままだけど *2017-12-05* 日本語欲しいですな〜〜 ### 5/5 — Yes *2017-12-04, version 1.6.0* Yes ### 4/5 — Sehr cooler RPG Plattform-Shooter *2017-12-03* Sehr cooler RPG Plattformshooter mit offener Welt, teilweise schwer.

Fun and addicting! ### 5/5 — A nice 2D platform for fans of post apocalyptic games *2017-06-30, version 1.6.0* It's a fun game with lots of loot and lots of exploring. Like a 2D version of Fallout! Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Black screen on start *2017-01-29, version 1.6.0* Does not work just a black screen when app is started ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-11-28, version 1.4.2* I pay 2£ for black screen. I want my monet back. Not working on my 4s. ### 1/5 — Crashes... *2015-11-18, version 1.4.2* ... Immediately, every time I start it. iOS 7.1.2, total no-go. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 4S *2015-06-30, version 1.4.1* Does not work on iPhone 4S so why was I able to purchase it?? ### 1/5 — Startet nicht *2015-06-21* Beim Start zeigt es nur einen Teil des Menüs an. Entweder abgestürzt oder nicht auf iPhone 4 Bildschirm angepasst. Schade....0,99 Cent bin Teufel! ### 1/5 — Drylands *2015-04-16* Reagiert nicht auf Eingaben, unspielbar auf IPad Air 2, nicht kaufen ! ### 1/5 — Why don't the Devs check playability before putting on the AppStore? *2015-04-16, version 1.0.1* It certainly is broken...you can't do anything apart from go left and right...really poor, and we are expected to pay for it! Have email support! After an update, it still,hasn't fixed the issues! ### 1/5 — Keine Anpassung fürs iPhone 6 / 6 Plus... *2015-04-16* ... und dadurch leider unspielbar, der ganze Bildbereiche fehlen und Menüs nicht funktionieren. ### 1/5 — Don't download! *2015-04-16, version 1.0.0* Paying for quarter of a game! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-04-16, version 1.0.0* Unsure if it's my device but I am quite disappointed that it only opens with a half cut of screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sci-fi retro crack. Easy buy. *2026-05-09, version 1.6.0* Best-of retro basic platforming infused with contempory RNG loot mechanics. Error-laden game text belies above-serviceable post-apocalyptic sci-fi story-lines in a cheeky tone. Would benefit from a more diverse skill tree, greater depth and better documentation but overall the sum surpasses the total of its parts. You can't go wrong at this price point - more please! ### 5/5 — Great no wifi shooter *2023-09-03, version 1.6.0* Full story packed with no ads or wifi? Makes an excellent airplane game! ### 5/5 — Top marks *2023-02-15, version 1.6.0* Great little rpg game if you can get into it ### 5/5 — Sci-fi retro crack. Easy buy. *2019-08-30, version 1.6.0* Best-of retro basic platforming infused with contempory RNG loot mechanics. Error-laden game text belies above-serviceable post-apocalyptic sci-fi story-lines in a cheeky tone. Would benefit from a more diverse skill tree, greater depth and better documentation but overall the sum surpasses the total of its parts. You can't go wrong at this price point - more please! ### 5/5 — 面白い *2019-03-29* 荒削りで面白い。日本語化希望！ ### 5/5 — Side scrolling wasteland esc game *2019-03-25, version 1.6.0* I dig the extra skins of snake P., road warrior, Indiana. Great game. ### 5/5 — def my go to *2019-01-25, version 1.6.0* very addictive game leveling up seems like it takes forever but outta no where u end up with the big guns one shot one kill ...loving it so far lol ### 5/5 — Yes please *2019-01-10, version 1.6.0* iPhone X update please ### 5/5 — Just like borderlands *2018-12-18, version 1.6.0* Full of content and quest and guns and you can’t just get enough. ### 5/5 — Gelungenen!!! *2018-11-23* Macht sehr viel Spaß, irgendwie eine Mischung aus Fallout 1-2 und Achtzigerjahren Humor. Man kann als Snake, Mad Max oder Indiana Jones spielen. Tolles kleines RPG für kleines Geld. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
