Kinda disappointed. ### 4/5 — Best game I ever played, but need assist *2026-07-11, version 1.10.10* I have downloaded this game yesterday or the day before and I enjoyed playing the game because it just like the other voice of a game that I played in the past on the phone and I enjoyed the game. Could you maybe add in a new update if you update the game again if there to be like a assistant or a guide to find the item because I'm having a hard time trying to find the item and how do you get the full game? I've noticed that there are other games like this, but if you buy just one of the game that a full version of the game, do you get all the other stuff as well. ### 4/5 — Fun but need something *2026-06-16, version 1.10.10* It’s a really cool game it’s turn based gotta like that and I would play it definitely but I do wish people could make their own persona’s on this ### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel für Gelegenheit. *2026-05-07* Ich habe Eldrum: Untold insgesamt sehr gerne gespielt und finde es besonders gut für gelegentliche Spielsessions geeignet. Die Story ist schön aufgebaut und sehr detailreich erzählt. Man merkt, dass viel Mühe in die Welt und die Struktur des Spiels geflossen ist. Auch das Inventarsystem und die allgemeinen Spielmechaniken machen einen soliden Eindruck und tragen gut zur Atmosphäre bei. Besonders positiv hervorheben möchte ich, dass das Spiel vollständig auf Deutsch verfügbar ist und sehr gut mit VoiceOver funktioniert. Gerade für Menschen mit Sehbeeinträchtigung ist das ein großer Pluspunkt und macht das Spiel deutlich zugänglicher. Dafür ein großes Lob an die Entwickler. Auch die Entscheidungsfreiheit hat mir gut gefallen – die Geschichte lässt sich in gewissem Rahmen individuell beeinflussen, was den Wiederspielwert grundsätzlich erhöht. Ich hatte insgesamt wirklich Spaß mit dem Spiel, da ich genau so etwas gesucht habe. Kritisch sehe ich allerdings die Spielzeit. Das Spiel wirkt insgesamt etwas zu kurz. Gerade in späteren Abschnitten (z. B. auf der Schlafinsel) fehlt teilweise die Möglichkeit, zu früheren Orten wie dem Gasthaus zurückzukehren. Das schränkt die Freiheit ein und könnte verbessert werden. Insgesamt endet die Story zudem recht schnell, was schade ist, da die Welt deutlich mehr Potenzial bietet. Trotzdem bleibt ein sehr positives Gesamtgefühl: ein gut aufgebautes Spiel mit viel Atmosphäre und Potenzial. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler für diese Arbeit – ich hatte definitiv Spaß damit. ### 4/5 — Review *2026-04-03, version 1.10.9* So far, it’s been a really fun game. I’m hoping it has lots of replay-ability, with different scenarios and worlds to explore though. I kind of wish it had magic of some kind, but then again I haven’t gotten extremely far into the game, so maybe there is (fingers crossed). ### 4/5 — Jeu atypique *2026-03-29* Sort des sentiers battus ### 5/5 — Gefällt mir! *2026-03-04* Klasse Spiel. Mit VoiceOver ist es sehr gut spielbar. Ich hoffe, dass auch die anderen Spiele auf Deutsch erscheinen werden. großes Lob an die Entwickler, macht weiter so! ### 5/5 — GOAT *2026-02-27, version 1.10.9* Probably the best text based RPG on the market ### 3/5 — Need a direction map *2026-02-04, version 1.10.9* No sense of direction n remember how to navigate back were needed to be! Why isn’t my 3 Members helping me during battle n Investigation!?! ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel. *2026-01-29* Es ist doch schön, wenn man wieder mal alt bekannte Spiele rausholt. Ich mag ja die Eldrum-Serie gerne wegen der verschiedenen Abzweigungen, die möglich sind. Jetzt haben uns die Entwickler noch eine deutsche Übersetzung geschenkt. Manches würde man vielleicht etwas anders ausdrücken, das soll aber den Gesamteindruck nicht schmählern. Ich bleib bei meinen 5 Sternen. ### 4/5 — Eldrum *2026-01-27, version 1.10.9* It’s good one.let’s try it. ### 5/5 — Endlich Rollenspiel ohne Zeitdruck! *2026-01-25* Toll, dass es diesen Teil auch in Deutsch gibt. Ich hoffe, ich werde bei den nächsten Teilen auch mit dem englischen zurecht kommen. Danke, dass ihr es barrierefrei gemacht habt!! ### 5/5 — Vraiment intéressant!!! *2026-01-20, version 1.10.9* On aime ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-18, version 1.10.9* Played all of Eldrum games. Red Tide is the best, I think, try it. Untold is a great game with various locations, secrets and mechanics. ### 5/5 — A Great RPG. *2026-01-18, version 1.10.9* Eldrum Untold, being the first in a series, already draws you into its fictional world from the moment you wake with no memory on an unknown beach, with only your wits to keep you alive. With the discovery of a Stingray broach, the mystery is set in motion. Collecting food, tools, weapons and armor, you’re drawn deeper into a mystery that could cost you your life or sanity. Unlike a great many fantasy games for iOS, Eldrum a, Untold actually has an engaging storyline, and your choices throughout the game dictate gameplay and story outcomes. The only thing I can see the matter is that the story told by the game isn’t long enough. Untold was the first eldrum game I played and I return to it time and again, which says something for its replayability. It’s also completely Voiceover-accessible, a definite plus for a blind gamer, such as myself. ### 5/5 — Great rpg reader *2026-01-10, version 1.10.9* This is a great game I find myself laying in the morning before my wife has woken up to when she wants to read and I try to be quiet for her. This is a a great game you read and pick choices! ### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ面白い！ *2026-01-06, version 1.10.9* シンプルながら引き込まれる。テキストを読み進めながら選択肢を選んでいくゲームなんだけど、身につけている装備によって潜入が成功したところで面白い！となった。ダークな世界観もいい。他バージョンも日本語訳が来るといいな。 ### 5/5 — Eldrum Strikes Again *2025-12-31, version 1.10.9* You can never go wrong with Eldrum games. They always lead to adventure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-24, version 1.10.10* This game sucks. Concept is great but if you get stuck (like I did early in the game) and miss something important on the first walk through of a new place you’re screwed. Don’t waste time on this frustrating experience. ### 1/5 — Rebalance *2026-03-08, version 1.10.9* You need to rebound the drill Warchief he can kill you in one round remount it and I'll change my review I said rebalance he rebalance the war chief I'll change my review you don't rebalance the war chief I'm not changing this review the Druid war chief is way too overpowered rebalance it the crazed hood is too overpowered now I am not changing my review ### 1/5 — Soft locked unless played in specific way *2024-12-16, version 1.7.7* This is not a role playing game, in a role playing game you get to make decisions. In this game if you make decisions that aren’t exactly what you need to do for unforeseeable situations the game will soft lock you in a cycle of death. I played for approximately 20mins, explored and gathered everything I could and was then put into a situation where the only thing I could do was enter a chapel (die immediately), enter a different chapel (die immediately), enter temple gardens (die immediately) or explore the end of a hallway, get discovered and enter combat with an undefeatable enemy (aka die immediately). There are literally no other options I have available to me, no locations to go, no option to pick, I was completely and utterly stuck. A quick google search shows me that apparently I was playing this “role playing” game wrong and that you have to follow a very strict and precise walkthrough in order to continue the game. This is an incredibly poorly designed game and not even worth a single star to be frank. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME, it is not a role playing game. You have to follow a strict walkthrough or you will not be able to play it whatsoever. You have been warned. ### 1/5 — incredibly punishing for no real reason *2024-06-17, version 1.5.5* infinite death loops galore without any real escape other than resetting your run or praying to RNG jesus for crits. Super tedious because of this. Combat system is also really lacking, spamming one button and just hoping for the best. Maybe it gets better in the later game, but I never managed to get that far due to getting myself stuck without any feasible way of progressing. I really like the concept, though, wish I could play. :( ### 1/5 — Mid don’t download *2022-10-31, version 1.4.8* Don’t download there’s a paywall ### 1/5 — Too Short *2022-09-29, version 1.4.8* Nothing wrong with the game except it’s way too short for 5 dollars. ### 1/5 — It called me the f slur *2021-08-14, version 1.3.8* Sexist game too and bottom text ### 1/5 — Got chinese version? *2021-01-05, version 1.3.7* Got chinese version? ### 1/5 — Huh *2020-12-29, version 1.3.7* Just a demo.. delete. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2020-12-24, version 1.3.7* If you do things in a certain order you cannot proceed no matter what you do (strawberries needed for a recipe, and if you eat them before you know you need them, there's no way to replenish) and have to start over. Certain stats are needed to do certain tasks, but without a way to level them up, you also get stuck that way. My second playthrough I got stuck because the actions to move forward wouldn't even appear (one room that I should have been able to unlock wouldn't show up and a boulder I needed to move didn't show up, and the recipe for the antidote was nowhere). I do not understand the positive reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Text RPG *2026-08-29, version 1.10.10* This game actually made me think about my character build and choices in not only the narrative, but also in combat. Was the punch dagger worth putting in my left-hand if it lowered block chance? Maybe. But with my sword's ability being stronger, it was better to replace the dagger and shield alike with a bow for pesky ranged opponents. Also, sneaking around the druid temple was amazing fun, until a druid assassin lady caught me in their crypts and tried to end me! In short, this game is amazing. ### 5/5 — Detailed and engaging *2026-08-23, version 1.10.10* I’ve really enjoyed this game so far and look forward to playing the others ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2026-08-18* Très bienJ'adore se jeu mais je trouve que les ennemies sont un petit trop fort et que les actions sont très dur comme trouver l'enti dote pour sauver Rasslan je suit très souvent bloqué peut-être qui faut faire une misse a jour demain ou dans quelque jour pour amélioré tout sa et se qui serai incroyable s'est que quand tu ogmante ta force ta santé ogmente aussi et une autre chose se qui serai bien s'est que tu peut amélioré ta force ogmente après avoir gagner un combat ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-10, version 1.10.10* Love these browser text games, a little too much reading imho but its still fun regardless. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-04, version 1.10.10* Solid story so far, gameplay is fun and in depth, and every choice you make matters, down to your outfit. Try it out, it’s worth it. ### 5/5 — 難易度もちょうど良い *2026-06-27, version 1.10.10* VoiceOver対応、日本語対応で素晴らしい！ ### 5/5 — Captivating *2026-05-28, version 1.10.10* Love the story and the flexibility of the rpg elements. Played the third game black sands and I am now going to play the story of the first two games ### 5/5 — Fire *2026-04-29, version 1.10.10* Game is wonderful🏃and verry accurate with voiceover. I’ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-30, version 1.10.9* Just Amazing ### 5/5 — Top *2026-03-16, version 1.10.9* Top --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
