The only caveat is the lack of controller support. I know they have it on the PC version, so I hope they add it here. ### 4/5 — Mobile experience is well designed *2026-08-27, version 1.1.7* First MMO where I actually feel like it’s intuitive with mobile controls. Just wished that the game performed better. For a 20 year old game, it sure causes my phone to heat up even on medium-low settings. ### 3/5 — Good game but… *2026-08-25, version 1.1.7* It made my iPhone 17 pro max super hot. Like really really hot, on max settings, this shouldn’t happen. Please optimize the game more, I know you guys are capable of doing it. ### 4/5 — Finally on mobile, sadly… *2026-08-24, version 1.1.7* I Downloaded it and was able to reset my pw and there I was. Took my a minute to maneuver around and try to get the hang of not playing on a comp or laptop. Sadly though, my IPhone17 became real hot within minutes so I stopped and closed the game :( sad cause I miss playing GW’s & GW’s 2 ( need to get my laptop fixed !! ) I will try again but it isn’t looking promising :( On a positive note, graphics are clear & smooth,no lag from the few minutes I played, interface was familiar,but a bit different, no choppy movements etc .. it was like playing in my laptop. Perfect 👌 Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to play ### 4/5 — Very fun to play but still a few issues *2026-08-23, version 1.1.7* It’s great to be able to play this in the go but I have noticed at least one big issue so far. Whenever I open my bags I can’t see the description of whatever item I click on. I feel like it is supposed to appear in the box above but nothing does. Maybe it’s just because I’m in presearing but i can’t see what bonuses the identified items give ### 3/5 — Controls *2026-08-02, version 1.1.7* Game is great - the mobile controls however are not. Targeting is way more difficult than it needs to be and the UI needs to be either customizable or made better for the current layout ### 3/5 — Frying my iphone17 *2026-07-29, version 1.1.7* Game is lovely, like I remember from pc back in the days, but it’s frying so hard Your device after 10 min of playing my iPhone it’s burning. ### 4/5 — Like the game alot! *2026-07-18, version 1.1.6* I really like this game a lot, I want to invest in it by buying the expansion packs and paying to get rid of the ads. But… I am on iPhone 17 Pro Max and my phone starts to overheat and screen dims and wont let me put it back unless I stop playing for a few minutes. This is the only game currently that I play that gets my phone really hot after like 10 mins. My ipad pro also gets very hot. I probably will have to just play on pc. ### 5/5 — Only MMO worth your time *2026-07-18, version 1.1.6* I’ve always hated subscriptions. Even MMOs where you buy the expansion, and still need to have a subscription (WoW, ESO) and they have the nerve to throw premium currencies on top of it. They don’t respect your time or money. Not this game. Buy it, and enjoy it in its entirety without it hounding you over subscriptions or premium currency. Play at your own pace. Great game, worth the $7 for the base game alone. Edit: Why is everyone complaining about the ads? If you don't have $7, go find a free mmo that asks you for hundreds to keep up with everyone else instead. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-07-17, version 1.1.6* Have kids and needed something casual to play while on the go here and there. This game brings back so many memories and am so happy about this port. Well done arenanet!!! ### 5/5 — Massive fun game now on mobile! *2026-07-17, version 1.1.6* Game is awesome. There is a ton to do in a well crafted world where you can play solo or group up. You can mix classes and skills to create characters with unique load outs to match your play style. Plays great on my iPad and iPhone with controller support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy mess *2026-08-08, version 1.1.7* Title. ### 1/5 — Good game BUT.. *2026-08-02, version 1.1.7* New player and everything is good .. but the phone will start burns after 15 minutes and the battery is just dropping like drops .. Idk what should the fix but its super frustrating to the phone (iphone 16 pro max) ### 1/5 — Stay well away *2026-07-31, version 1.1.7* As someone who completed most campaigns as a teenager, this game is pure torture. Terrible and unfair enemy placement, long bottle necked maps, obscenely difficult missions. There’s a reason this game died and now I remember it. Such great potential, but enemy AI can see you, even if they’re 600 metres below you and under a mountain. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2026-07-29, version 1.1.7* I used love he but this game is Unplayable when you try move with screen brings chat up there’s too much going on phone gets hot and runs the battery down quick graphics are good that’s it ### 1/5 — Good oldie but terrible port *2026-07-26, version 1.1.7* This game was a golden gem back in the day and it’s still great today. Unfortunately the mobile version is a failed variation. Aside from lacking certain things that exist from PC version, such as commanding all hero’s to attack specific targets, the stability degrades rapidly until the eventuality of an application crash, forcing a game reboot and hoping you can reconnect to continue without loss of progress. This occurs consistently as combat ensues over and over each time until the eventuality crash. If they can ever find a fix for the obvious memory leaks then this game will be golden once more even on mobile platforms, until then it demands stronger mobile platforms even more so than the strength of a PC. Worth it for PC, not worth it for mobile, at least for now. ### 1/5 — Not very thought out *2026-07-22, version 1.1.7* This is by far the worst attempt at putting an mmo on mobile. ### 1/5 — No sound *2026-07-17, version 1.1.6* Title ### 1/5 — Fix ur fkn bugs *2026-07-17* It keeps restarting ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-07-17, version 1.1.6* Multiple of the ads are uncloseable which just freezes you out of the game and you have to hard quit. Kingshot and more. Makes f2p unplayable. Don’t think I’ll buy the ad free version just based on that. ### 1/5 — STEAM LOGIN PLEASE *2026-07-12, version 1.1.6* Come on guys i alrdy bought this game for steam….and i want to play it when i dont have access to a computer…ffs is it that hard? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5* *2026-08-17, version 1.1.7* I started playing this game in 2005 it has been an on and off addiction ever since. Certified 5* classic banger. ### 5/5 — Overheating iPhones *2026-08-11, version 1.1.7* The games good, but it really sucks that I can practically cook eggs on my phone because of how much it overheats playing this game, with how poorly optimized it is an all. ### 5/5 — thank you for adding steam login *2026-08-06, version 1.1.7* I take back everything and the game is perfect, thank you 👍 ### 5/5 — Real Game, Good Developers, Good Community. This is top tier for the ios app store *2026-08-03, version 1.1.7* I have been enjoying the game already, within just a few hours and a few levels. I can tell this is a classic, nostalgic, well built mmo that has been brought back for new players like myself. I’m very excited to keep sinking my teeth further into my build and the world and quests. I just hope they are fast to get to the bugs. In the starting zone already I’m getting some bugs. One example is the “Poor Tenant” quest in which you must lure the three swarms of bees with a giant honeycomb. They bees repeatedly get stuck on the close side of the bridge, and nothing I do can make them move again. I’ve tried a few times, trying hard to keep the bees in the middle so there is no terrain to stick on, and even then they randomly stop. So, with a game positioned to get a lot of new players, I’m just a little disappointed in how buggy it does seem to be. I also can’t play on the highest graphics settings without heat and glitches, and I am on iPhone 17 pro. I have absolute faith these hitches will be ironed out by this killer dev team. However, it has dampened what I hoped would be a smooth new player experience. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-08-02, version 1.1.7* Randomly came across this while browsing the App store and couldn’t believe my eyes. So of course after realizing it was legit I downloaded it to my phone. All the expansions and extra character slots I bought 17 years ago were still available when I logged into my account. I haven’t played in years but all my characters were as I left them so I’ve been having a great time running around killing mobs. The touch screen controls work well enough. Movement and skill / weapon selecting is comfortable, the targeting system could use some work, but is still serviceable. I was surprised to see controller support was added and that too is what I’d call serviceable, but needs some optimization. All of this applies to the iPad, but the iPad has keyboard and mouse support too, which is really nice. The game runs really well on my iPhone 15 pro and iPad Pro M4. I run this on the lower side of graphics and locked to 60 fps, or else my phone and iPad gets super hot. There have been the occasional crash due to a memory error, but I’ve usually been a able to just relaunch my session and pick back up where it crashed… sometimes mid battle, but oh well. In conclusion, I’m back into GW now and I’ve redownloaded it onto my computer as well. I hope the devs keep adding QoL for touch screen devices because this is a surprisingly enjoyable experience for a PC MKB game ported to mobile. ### 5/5 — Returning to a classic *2026-07-31, version 1.1.7* Played this game back in my childhood, now as a father, there is nothing better than jumping back into Guild Wars while on the toilet! ### 5/5 — Bring me back *2026-07-30, version 1.1.7* This is the game that got me into MMO RPG games. I love that they added this game to mobile. I love the faction campaign especially because of the Ritualist class ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-25, version 1.1.7* Never played it back in the day. Well worth it. Pay once and play, no subscription. Pretty intriguing story so far. I like the unique approach where it plays and feels like an MMO but with instanced exploration zones and missions just for your party. Haven’t touched the PvP as it’s not my cup of tea, but for a solo/coop adventure RPG it’s really enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Amazing Nostalgia *2026-07-22, version 1.1.7* I have been playing Guildwars since it first came out and the excitement I have that I can once again play this on my mobile can’t be described in words. One feature request, I wish I could do is perform more customization on my mobile screen. Enabling the time or adding other feature crowds my screen and currently can’t be moved. ### 5/5 — MMO légendaire *2026-07-21* Meilleur MMO sur ordinateur, je salue l’initiative de l’avoir transmis sur mobile. C’est agréable de pouvoir rejouer sur mobile . Cependant la maniabilité est un peu plus difficile , mais avec les MAJ et les différents retour pour pouvoir améliorer le jeu sur mobile, je reste optimiste. Foncez, le jeu est exceptionnel , tant sur le PvP que sur le PvE. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
