The controls are great on IOS. It’s fun to explore. The levels are challenging, but not frustrating. If you liked Metroid, I think you’d enjoy this. Now that I have finished, I don’t know what to play next. ### 5/5 — Really good game *2025-08-31, version 2.6* Such a good game it’s just so enjoyable! I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to play it. ### 5/5 — One of the best mobile 2D platformers *2025-08-25, version 2.6* Absolutely amazing game. Controls are perfectly smooth and well balanced, beautiful graphics and level design, really challenging, cool bosses, tons of weapons, armors and relics! It looked like easy game, but man, it was hardcore to get all the quests. I highly recommend this. ### 5/5 — More levels please *2025-08-24, version 2.6* I finished this game probably 8-9 times. More levels please 🙂 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-07-02, version 2.6* Absolutely enjoyed playing it. Wish to get more games like this ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-06-08, version 2.6* I’ve played it through about 15 times over the years. Such a good game. Thank you to the developers. Love to see GS2 someday. ### 5/5 — THE BEST PLAT-FORMER EVER *2025-06-06, version 2.6* BUY NOW ### 5/5 — Parfait ! *2025-04-27* Vaut bien plus qu’un 1€99 ! Jouabilité parfaite, durée de vie plus que correcte pour le prix, difficulté très bien dosée autant pour le level design que pour les boss ou la recherche de trésors et cristaux, diversité d’armes et de reliques. Ce jeu n’a pas de défauts. Il n’invente rien mais réussi excellemment à ce qu’il prétend être. « Petit » chef-d’œuvre ! ### 5/5 — awesome game! *2025-04-26, version 2.6* this game has been a great bonding game between my husband born in the early 80s, and our daughters. The controls are similar to old Nintendo games, but you can play it on an iPad. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-04-20, version 2.6* It was fun and I spent quite some time working towards gull completion, but I never had 10k gems at once so I never completed quest 6 despite having collected well over 10k gems. Thats the only quest I haven’t completed, and its a grindy thing to finish when you aren’t doing anything else besides that like finishing multiple other quests all the while saving up the 10k gems ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2025-01-30, version 2.6* This is genuinely such an amazing game, everything about it. I’m trying to think of things to complement the game on and I’m having difficulty thinking of anything because it’s all so good. I’ll say this, this game being free is a crime, the quality and playability with a free price tag is unmatched. ### 5/5 — Looking forward to GS2 *2025-01-21, version 2.6* Completed. One of the best games on IOS ### 5/5 — Problem With Achievements *2025-01-12, version 2.6* I got every weapon and all armour but on the stats page it says I’m missing one piece of armour and 4 weapons. I’ve opened every chest and bought them all. Can’t complete the game because of this. Any help? ### 5/5 — Super Retro style game *2025-01-08, version 2.6* I’ve been trawling through the App Store looking for a game like this. So hard to find something like this. Best game for my iPhone absolutely love it. If there were more retro games like this the world would be a better place. ### 5/5 — Goblin Sword Is a Perfect 6/5, An Absolute Masterpiece! *2024-12-07, version 2.6* I don’t normally write reviews, but Goblin Sword deserves all the praise and then some! This game is the definition of perfection on iOS, flawless retro visuals, tight controls, and a level of replayability that’s off the charts. It brings back the magic of classic platformers with a modern twist that will leave you hooked for hours. The gameplay balance is incredible, challenging but fair, rewarding exploration and skillful combat. The sheer amount of secrets, treasures, and upgrades makes every level feel fresh and exciting. It’s a love letter to old-school gaming while feeling like a perfect fit for mobile. If I could rate this 6/5, I absolutely would because it’s just that good. For anyone who enjoys platformers, RPG elements, or simply excellent game design, Goblin Sword is a must have. Do yourself a favor and play this masterpiece, you won’t regret it! ### 5/5 — Goblin Sword 2 *2024-11-28, version 2.6* This is one of the best platormer game for mobile, please make “Goblin Sword 2”… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2026-04-18, version 2.6* There’s a free game exactly like I don’t remember the name of it . Anyways this game isn’t worth $ plus every time you’re falling from a double jump it pauses and the you get hit and die and have to start over ### 1/5 — Ultra Difficile *2026-01-15, version 2.6* Jeux mal conçu, à partir du niveau 3 le jeux devient extrêmement difficile, conception à revoir ### 1/5 — Does not work on Mac *2024-10-24, version 2.6* Fun on Iphone but does not work on Mac. No keyboard controls it crashes often. I cannot believe I am unable to game on a Macbook. Macbooks are literally built for gaming. Now I will have to play Candyland Online. ### 1/5 — Все отзывы левые, не ведитесь!!!😡😡😡 *2024-01-10* Купила эту недоигрушку за 250 рублей, повелась на отзывы… в итоге после прохождения трёх уровней удаляю, люди которые её делали, даже понятия не имеют что такое платформер!!! Не ведитесь на отзывы, игра не очем!!😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Meh *2023-07-13, version 2.6* Boring arduously repetitive levels, bug issues with enemies & platform hitboxes, and none of the armor you collect through the course of the game have any purpose or special attributes. However the game is beautiful and it’s free. ### 1/5 — Sloppy. *2023-03-19, version 2.6* … ### 1/5 — Is there supposed to be music? *2023-01-05, version 2.6* Is there supposed to be music on the menu screen? In the first level? At all? ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-09-18, version 2.6* ห่วย ### 1/5 — Too difficult to win *2021-05-25, version 2.6* Unless you do the moves perfect it is too hard to win certain levels. Why make a game so hard to win? ### 1/5 — Nah. *2021-05-17, version 2.6* It’s hard to picture someone honestly giving this a good review, or having the patience for an entire game of this. Go on. Try it. You’ll get what I’m telling you right away. The words I’m saying will be repeated by you as you’re playing. I won’t need to convince you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good very good *2026-05-24, version 2.6* Very good Very good Very good ### 5/5 — Jogo bom *2026-03-06* Ótimo game completado 100% todos as fases, todos itens da casa, todas as armas, todas as armaduras, todas as relíquias tudo que dava pra fazer eu fiz! Bacana o jogo, poderia ter um fator replay mais atraente, ter mais fases..etc porém não deixou a desejar, mesmo a maioria das armas e relíquias sendo total inúteis sempre era bacana ter recompensas nas explorações ### 5/5 — I Love Goblin Sword *2026-01-31, version 2.6* I just finished everything you could possibly do in this game. I’m so surprised how well it held up after all these years; at a point the nostalgia faded and new experiences were formed. Everything about Goblin Sword culminates into an amazing gameplay experience that I wish I could feel more often. It was so fun to just pick it up and get a few levels done during downtime. After I beat every level I wanted to buy every weapon and relic, to make little me proud, and I had to grind for about ~10k more coins to finish it all up. I ended up replaying levels here and there and I was surprised how fun it still was. After no time at all I realized that there was nothing left to strive towards and that I was done. Thank you for making this game, Preoccupiedude ### 5/5 — Skvěly! *2026-01-01, version 2.6* Nejlepsi plosinovka, bavi nas uz druhy rok. Skoda, ze Gelato nevydali zadnou dalsi hru :/ ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2025-12-28, version 2.6* Truly an honest hit! One of the best mobile games I’ve played, 10 stars 😅 ### 5/5 — Still one of the best platform games. More!!! *2025-12-23, version 2.6* Still one of the best platform games. More!!! ### 5/5 — Just discovered this gem in 2024 *2025-12-23, version 2.6* Great game overall and fantastic value. Supports Xbox controller. 👍 ### 5/5 — удивительная находка в app store *2025-11-23* максимально крутая ### 5/5 — A favorite of the decade *2025-11-21, version 2.6* My oh my I’ve probably logged 500 fun hours playing this challenging game. But I’m still only 3/4 of the way through it! ### 5/5 — Made by People Who Care *2025-10-24, version 2.6* This game is such a breath of fresh air and exactly what a mobile game should strive to be. The variety of environments, the cool fantasy setting, fun gameplay, customization options, hidden levels, amount of content- everything is fantastic, and the developers packed it all into such a blessedly small file size that far less robust games have failed to achieve. The game loads lightning fast, it’s the perfect price, and my only wish is that more devs would care this much about their product. Thanks for maintaining my faith in this industry! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
