The developer needs to update this game. Until then, don't spend your money. ### 5/5 — A great game *2026-05-31, version 1.9.177609* I’ve had this game for many years and come back to it now and then with great enjoyment! ### 1/5 — worse than regular fieldrunners for IPad *2026-05-28, version 1.9.177609* This app scales terribly. it makes text and objects way larger than they should be. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t fit on iPad screen *2026-04-26, version 1.9.177609* So I loved the first game. One of my favorite tower defense games of all time. Oddly enough the free version of this game actually functions better than the paid one. All of the text overlaps on my iPad. I’ve never had a game from Apple Store do that before. The free version sizes it to fit but shows part of the apple toolbar at the bottom. 1 star because I paid for it and it’s totally defective. I’ll have to ask for a refund ### 2/5 — Can’t Read *2026-02-21, version 1.9.177609* I like the idea of a strategy game. And the graphics are fun. But I can’t believe in 2026 that the words are still completely overlapped each other. It looks like these reviews are throughout the Internet and the developer is lazy enough that they can’t correct the English words. I just paid real cash money for this and I’m a bit upset. Obviously there’s no updates or work done on this particular app. Please save your money. ### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPad *2026-02-10, version 1.9.177609* I can’t believe that a paid game in 2026 is not optimized for iPad, specially when it says on the title that it’s “for iPad”. The aspect ratio is wrong and the menu letters are stacked on top of each other. I can’t read half of the things the Game is trying to tell me because every word and score has other words on top of it. The gameplay itself is okay but the fact that the aspect ratio is not optimized for iPad is a huge disappointment. It makes me not wanna play the game. For context i am using an iPad mini A17 Pro ### 2/5 — Letras sobrepuestas *2025-12-22, version 1.9.177609* No puedo leer las indicaciones ni configurarlo bien porque las letras están una encima del otro iPad 11, espero puedan solucionarlo. No puedo jugar así ### 1/5 — Do not work for iPad mini *2025-11-24, version 1.9.177609* I have one iPad mini, but it does not work, no tower shown. ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2025-11-23, version 1.9.177609* I racked my brain to remember this game and I’m having so much fun replaying it. Only thing is, I would love a big fixes update! ### 1/5 — Does not work right on iPad Mini 6 *2025-11-13, version 1.9.177609* You cannot read the instructions and the words overlap over each other. I want a refund! ## Frequently asked questions about Fieldrunners 2 for iPad ### What is Fieldrunners 2 for iPad?
