### 4/5 — Great game but...

*2026-08-17, version 1.1.2*

I remember playing this game on our computer as a kid. I loved killing time running through the dungeons. So thank you for bringing it to mobile. The only issue I've run into is being on a quest to kill a specific boss plus the minions that follow them...I search the entire map and there is a different boss name and description but the minions are correct. For example, kill Aradoud the kobolb and his dark Taurus minions. Boss name and type isn't right but the minions were dark Taurus. Then the quest doesn't complete. I've noticed this on roughly 4 different floors.

### 4/5 — I just want updates for iOS 18

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.8*

Bring back iOS 18 support please, it’s the only complaint I really have

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.2*

I played Fate the original when I was a kid. I love the game, and while I’m happy it’s on here, the problem I have with it is that items are too common from fishing enemies that you found on lower levels of the dungeon are there on the first level. The reason I don’t like this it is one of the things that I found enjoyable about the game was always encountering different enemies as you get to lower levels. It was always interesting to see what new enemies I’ll face the further you go. Now it’s not quite like that

### 3/5 — Big problem

*2026-07-26, version 1.1.2*

I’m a long time fan of the fate series used to play it a lot but I can’t even play this cause every time I try to buy fate it says no app information please fix so I can buy and play the game

### 3/5 — I’ll gladly change this to a 5 when fixed

*2026-07-25, version 1.1.2*

Fantastic game - I’ve been playing Fate since I was a child. Many hours has been invested lol this mobile version however is problematic. My one gripe is that there’s no Auto Save feature. I’m sick of closing the game or it crashing on me and I’ll loose half an hour or more of game time. Most recent example: just bought a pole arm to replace my old one, used the enchanter and got 3 positive upgrades then I got a crash. Nothing saved :/

### 2/5 — Buggy and unoptimized

*2026-07-23*

Game in itself is a fun dungeon crawler, but oh man is it buggy! I’ll list some of them out of my head:
1. Potion hotbar thinks I still got a potion even though I gave it my pet.
2. Pet gets stuck on obstacles.
3. Enemies get stuck in a walk animation loop, which can be cheesed easily.
4. Graphical misplacements (like a fishing spot spawning literally on a ground instead of a pond)
5. Equipping gear on your first hand (via boosting your base state with bonus upon your base states), which have a higher state requirement than your base states, and then changing to your second gear, which drops your states, makes your equipped gear on first hand disappear when changing back to first hand.
6. Auto aim sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. Completely random. 
7. No optimized gear drop. You’ll get equipment which can be considered +-30 lv your own. 
8. If shield is equipped on first hand equipment, but you use a bow with second equipment, you can block enemy attacks, even though shield is not equipped??
9. The character variety is too little and has no impact on gameplay when you start off. 

These are out of my head some bugs and issues. Nevertheless, I’m enjoying it for a mobile game. BUT! And this is a big but, the price is that is asked for it is especially too much due to all the issues.

### 3/5 — Good, some what like old times

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.2*

Wish the inventory was the same size like on pc.
Wish it was touch screen instead of only using the sticks, think like using a mouse instead of having to tap a specific place.

### 3/5 — Like the game butttt…

*2026-06-29, version 1.0.8*

Since I paid for the full version, after playing free for about a week, the game now crashes every time I portal, EVERY time and then the portal is deleted and I have to start the dungeon from the beginning, EVERY time. I’m about to push for a refund since I won’t be able to beat it  at this rate. Not happy at all.

### 3/5 — Should be free(mium)

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.8*

First time getting bored before even finishing the trial, stamina kills this game entirely. Using consumable potions just to walk at normal speed, when maps are insanely sprawling and quests are finding a needle in haystack, use 50 stamina pots to find a quest objective? That sucks, for what purpose? This disincentivizes exploring, unless there's a quest u just speed run to the stairs. All around not good, def not worth $. Play Oniro arpg instead

### 3/5 — Controller support

*2026-06-21, version 1.0.8*

Please add controller support.

### 3/5 — Hit boxes?!?!

*2026-06-12, version 1.0.8*

I have played this game since I was young, but the hit boxes were NEVER this awful. I get it, it’s a much smaller screen but STILL, it’s RIDICULOUS. I love this game but with the hit boxes it’s almost unplayable. PLEASE fix this. Not only that but the luck on this game is WAYYYY too negative. EVERY magic anvil or learning table has screwed me over.

### 4/5 — Great game but..

*2026-06-03*

Great game but I can’t buy prometheus dlc
It says on the app store page that it is there To buy
but can’t find a way to buy it!
What is going on?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars!

### 3/5 — Having login problem

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.8*

Having difficulty playing the game, logs me out before I can even play. & i was looking forward to playing this.

### 3/5 — Better with controller

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.8*

Awesome game series, will play more and buy when controller support comes out. Have already bought on steam. Would love to play on the go as well.

### 3/5 — Game is good but it makes my 16 overheat on the lowest settings

*2026-04-14, version 1.0.8*

Even on low graphics and 30fps, it makes my phone overheat. The game is horribly optimized. If the phone can run games like GI without over heating why can’t a cartoon game be played? The game needs work bc even on some of the newest devices you won’t be able to play unless you want to fry your phone

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-16, version 1.1.2*

After getting to level 10, I cannot stop crashing after playing for a few minutes. Mind you, I’m playing with the lowest graphics and fps. Just play the game on pc or console.

Here to say I never got a refund either, even though this product doesn’t work… Please don’t give these guys any of your money.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-30, version 1.1.2*

After getting to level 10, I cannot stop crashing after playing for a few minutes. Mind you, I’m playing with the lowest graphics and fps. Just play the game on pc or console.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.8*

I was very keen to experience some nostalgia, launched up this and first thing I notice is the developers have decided to abolish science and replace male/female with “body type” which was already a huge red flag. After hopping into the game and seeing the OG potion icons had been fully replaced with generic assets rather than just upscaled I quickly realised that this isn’t the game from my childhood.

### 1/5 — Can’t play it on iPads

*2026-06-23, version 1.0.8*

I tried to play this on my iPad. It only let me play for five minutes then it kicked me off and now I’m stuck on the loading screen and it won’t let me back into the game so I wasted my money trying to play a game from my childhood.

### 1/5 — Glitches and forced log outs

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.8*

Game constantly closes randomly and town portals disappear and I have to work my way back through all the floors just to get back to quests

### 1/5 — can't restore purchsse

*2026-05-20, version 1.0.8*

waste of money

### 1/5 — Stürzt immer wieder ab.

*2026-05-04*

Jedes Mal nach dem Spielen muss ich das Spiel neu installieren. Macht wenig Spaß so.

### 1/5 — Ce n’est qu’une démo

*2026-04-05, version 1.0.8*

Je trouve ça désopilant de voir que sa prend autant de données mobile pour seulement une démo

### 1/5 — Objets qui disparaissent

*2026-03-22*

Payer 15€ pour voir les objets les plus rares disparaître….

**Developer response:** Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre cela. Nous comprenons à quel point cela peut être frustrant lorsque des articles disparaissent. Merci pour votre commentaire.

### 1/5 — Can't get past level one game crashes

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.8*

I've contacted them through the app and no response. And I had purchased the game and was able to install it online Apple device so therefore it should work right? It keeps crashing. It keeps crashing. Why are you ignoring me? You deleted my previous comment and ignoringMy request for technical support. Your game keeps crashing on my device. iPad generation five. Please fix the crashing bug.  I purchased subscription. It worked better before I purchase the subscription, so this is you doing that to me. It crashes and crashes. These people are bad they don't even fix the issues.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.8*

Just like how I remember the game

### 5/5 — Thank you for finally porting

*2026-07-07, version 1.0.8*

Grew up with this game, saw that games were being recreated with ai for the App Store and thought if there was a time to check for a port it would be now, this game was amazing 20 years ago and somehow of all the games that did not hold up with time this one did, thanks for fixing the bugs

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-06-15*

Great game 
Can play for hours.
can’t wait for prometheus dlc.

**Developer response:** Hi Eliura, that was a publishing mistake! The DLC is coming out soon!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.8*

Nostalgia times 10

### 5/5 — Only App Worth $20

*2026-05-01, version 1.0.8*

I used to play this game on the computer as a kid and even played it on the computer recently as last year. So when I found out that it was an app I immediately downloaded it. I love that it lets you play it first before you purchase it, I wanted to make sure that it was the same as PC and it is. It’s my most expensive purchase by far out of any app but it’s way worth it.

### 5/5 — Fabulous Dungeon Crawler

*2026-04-29, version 1.0.8*

I’ve loved Fate for 20+ years and am delighted to have it on mobile. Very simple game, and super cute. Definitely has the 2005 vibe.

### 5/5 — Must play

*2026-04-26, version 1.0.8*

I’ve loved this game since I was kid playing on my parents PC now I can readily play on my phone!

### 5/5 — Love the game so much, however,

*2026-04-02, version 1.0.8*

Love the game tons and I never write a review what so ever, however, I am bummed that I got to a point I have gained 60-70% faster casting speed, for it to just be glitched. It forces my character to pause by finishing the animation stance. And then I can continue to proceed to walk or cast spell again.

### 5/5 — Excellent RPG Solo Old School 👍‼️⚔️‼️👍

*2026-03-28*

Bonjour 

👍♥️ Après avoir testé la démo gratuite, je me suis empressé d’acheter la version payante car ce jeu semble avoir de très grandes qualités

1) il est beau 
2) maniable 
3) le contenu est riche (quêtes, nbre d’objets, nbre d’équipements; possibilités de spécialisations variées, gestion d’un familier; pêche,…).
4) Enfin…est ce n’est vraiment pas rien …une fois le jeux acheté (15€ pour toutes les extensions): il n’y a absolument plus rien à payer pour jouer, pas de pub, pas de timer. 
Bref un jeu « normal » affranchi de ce qui tue les autres jeux aujourd’hui.

Ps : pour les joueurs qui déclarent des pertes d’équipements.
J’avais cru constater moi aussi le même soucis avec le jeu. 
En effet après quelques heures de jeux j’avais aussi noté la disparition de certains de mes équipements les plus puissants pas longtemps après les avoir lootés.
Le plus souvent des équipement puissants au dessus de mon niveau.
En fait je n’étais pas attentif : c’est équipements étaient récupérés par le PNJ à qui je remettais mes quêtes. Ils étaient l’objet même des quêtes.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour cet avis très détaillé ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous appréciez le jeu et toutes ses fonctionnalités. Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience et d'aider les autres joueurs à y voir plus clair.
