So what’s that mean?! BUGS HAVE BEEN FIXED!! GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY!! Amazing game, love the music(my favorite is the penitentiary one), love the pixel style,and it is very smooth! Yes it does get hard but if it didn’t it wouldn’t be fun and challenging. Has a 9 different characters (I think 9), they all have different attacks(and if u stand still it buffs it), and it has many other buffs(charms) you can unlock with coins you get in the game. I really think this is a 5+ game but I can only do 5 sadly. I play many game this style n it’s on my top favs to play( I’m also stuck at 12.7 iOS, so I can’t play many others like this)! SO DOWNLOAD AND GIVE IT A SHOT! I REALLY THINK YOU WILL LIKE IT!! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Gotta say, EXCELLENT!! *2026-03-04* BUGS HAVE BEEN FIXED!! GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY!!

I REALLY THINK YOU WILL LIKE IT!! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 3/5 — Bad, way too hard *2023-05-27, version 1.2.4* Impossible ### 3/5 — Its got a bad bug *2023-01-12* I’d love to give the game four stars instead of three in this genre it’s a pretty decent game but right now it’s not registering all the gold that you collect … I was getting maybe one for every 10 I was picking up I don’t know if this is limited to one character I had the one who throws the shurikans, but either way it’s a problem ### 4/5 — Decent game but after death effects ruins it for me *2022-10-11* I want to like it but the exploding heads ruins it for me. I saw I had downloaded the game before. Once I redownloaded it, I instantly remembered the dumb green heads. Seems like a lot of people like it regardless so I am probably the minority so give it a go. ### 5/5 — This is actually great!! *2022-09-30* I’ve been burned by mobile arena shooters full of bloat but this game is actually really good. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for vampire survivors like games!!! ### 1/5 — Gotta fix this *2022-09-26, version 1.2.4* Ngl I would give it a 4 or 5 but I keep getting this bug where my character just keep moving and the audio cuts out and I can’t stop it unless I press pause but that take at least 5-7 seconds before it really pause. ### 5/5 — great vampire survivors type game *2022-09-16* really good game. graphics and music are awesome. if you like vampire survivors or 20 minutes til dawn, you’ll like this. Can’t wait to play more of it! ### 5/5 — Love it - and a suggestion *2022-08-12, version 1.2.4* This is my favourite mobile version of this kind of game. I really like the “focus” mechanic, and it’s also unique. My one suggestion would be to look into some sort of ultimate upgrade that could involve both the focus skill of the character and certain items or a sort of synergy of two or more items. Beautifully made game nonetheless, and I wish the dev(s) all the success! ### 1/5 — No sound effects when collecting gems *2022-08-12* Boring and uninspiring. ## Frequently asked questions about Gothic Survival ### What kind of game is Gothic Survival?
