### 4/5 — One of my ALL TIME favourite games!!!

*2024-07-17*

Gave 4 stars only because there is no update :( 

I was on my way to finish the last quest only to realise that it ends there. Searched the entire internet, your website and read all the reviews here to realise no new update has come for the past 3 years. I became very sad and disappointed.

### 4/5 — Cliffhanger

*2024-03-29*

Fun game but ends on a cliffhanger. Didn’t realise it was 4 years old with no future update in sight. Still worth playing, but be prepared to be disappointed at the end.

### 3/5 — Really enjoy story

*2023-12-29*

It’s so much fun and has a great story but no conclusion, leaves way to many questions and there is no new news about any updates. It’s really sad that’s why I gave this game 3 stars would have been more if there was more story and game play.

### 4/5 — Loved it!

*2023-12-22*

I really loved this game! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed finding all of the little details. I wish there was more!when will there be an update?

### 3/5 — Good game but….

*2023-10-18*

If you don’t want spoilers I can only say they forgot to finish the game and it ends with just credits SPOILERS Now I need these spoilers to explain how they forgot to do it So there is a paint beast not made of paint though and it paints big giant Circles and inside the circles float up up and away everything the ground the people all that’s left is a void and a floating island so then you find that out while doing a small quest *get syb to his date* the first quest and eventually it all becomes about catching the paint beast when it circles around sybs home and so at the end of the game they go into the elderwood…. It’s just credits and after a short scene of the paintbeast it just ends and it’s back to the Home Screen otherwise I would have rated a 5 or a 4 but I give it a 2.8 and I read a review that said “I made it to the bottom of the elevator” or something like that but clearly the forestwood elevator so it’s either a glitch or someone was lying or they meant the lawnhenge side of the elevator

### 3/5 — Really good and a buggy mess at the same time

*2023-08-25*

I have no complaints with the actual plot or the way the game turns out (although it could definitely be longer, so… one complaint I guess), however the actual gameplay is an entirely different story. There are various glitches I have come across while playing through the game. For example, in the Whistling Jonas cave, if you defeat the spider with Chazazz on your team there is a good chance that he will appear to be the only character in your team. The other characters can “text” and participate in battle, but their models are gone without a trace. If you try to use Prisma to light the lantern she will appear and stay there after the animation, but the only way to bring the third member back is to exit the cave. Another glitch is when you walk into water on Compass Island, your group will turn entirely blue except for their faces and accessories (like Stafford). A couple doors in the Halcyon Tavern also have no hitboxes, along with many other bugs too numerous to list in this review. The combat system was also kinda mid, but not as much of a problem. Please fix this! (and come out with the next part!)

### 3/5 — Update story?!

*2023-08-10*

The game is GREAT! LOVE the game. Problem was they took forever to come out with the final part of chapter 1. Not only that, it was a very short update. I finished it quickly and find out i need to wait for another update? Which has been taking even longer than the first. This would be an amazing game if they had more content to play. I’ve been waiting about 2 years for another update with no news whatsoever

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!  Good news... the update is out! We hope you enjoy the next part of our adventure ✨

### 3/5 — Bugs with quests

*2023-07-18*

Every time I finish a quest, when the character’s level increases, it doesn’t let me “tap to continue” and I have repeated the same quests several times now and still it won’t work. For example the save Sam one (I’ve seen other reviews about that one too) and the wisps one

### 4/5 — -1 for unfinished

*2023-04-17*

Really enjoyed this and was looking forward to continuing. Would have felt more eager to wait for an update and ending if the last update didn’t occur 2 years ago… not heartening. Hopefully there’s more to come.

### 3/5 — Good but needs some work

*2023-03-17*

The game is beautiful and quite unique, there is an interesting “combat” system but unfortunately that is where a lot of the issues come into play. The combat system is very poorly explained, there is almost zero way to prevent metric tons of damage to your batteries even when using the “correct” moves. Sometimes there is zero way to actually come out on top leaving your character in the proper “mood” to continue with the story. I understand what the devs tried to do but they really need to create a clear set of rules that both the PCs and the enemies follow, like one move per turn. Telegraphing that the enemy has 4 moves left and that the correct play is to wait until the last move to play your trump move but then letting the enemy go 4 turns in a row because “that’s what the enemy does” is a terrible way to design a combat system. 

This is definitely a cute game and the devs really have something here, they just need to clean up the way combat works and make moves do less damage, forcing the player to use healing items at every turn even when using the correct moves just feels bad. You want to reward your player for doing the right thing, not punish them regardless.

### 3/5 — LOVED ITTTTT buuuuuuttt thats it?

*2023-02-11*

I absolutely loved this game and waited a long time for the second part to come out but when it did it just ended at Lawnhenge?? It was really short even though it was really fun. I loved this game and i keep coming back every few months to see if it’s been updated but nothing! I dont even care if there’s a paid version of the game i just wanna continue the story!

### 4/5 — Great game but needs MORE!

*2023-01-05*

A great & unique game, love all the different guildlings’ special abilities. I was at the end of lawnhenge when the game just… ended? I went up the lift and the credits went up and i thought ‘is that it?’ The game ended part way through lots of quests, making them impossible to complete. The game needs a next chapter in forestwood! It leaves on a great cliffhanger and it needs another chapter outside the quaint to see what happens next. Im excited to see the next chapter when it (hopefully) comes out!

### 3/5 — If it didn’t freeze…

*2022-11-27*

I was loving playing this game so when I couldn’t remember why I hadn’t gone back to it I was so confused. 
Just been playing it and I’ve remembered. 
I’ve completed the Search for Sam quest line it freezes, when you close and reopen the app the progress is gone from the last battle against the board corps. Then once completed again, it freezes on the quest completed page. If it wasn’t for this I would have nothing but praise for this game!

### 4/5 — GREAT but freezes at times

*2022-11-18, version 1.2.1*

I finally got this game after a while of trying to decide if it would be worth it or not. IT IS. I love the characters and the world— you can tell through every part of the games design that the people involved with this had a lot of fun doing it. 

The only thing that keeps me from rating it five stars is because for two of the Prism side quests— the Save Sam and the Wisps one, when I get to the end and her level-up screen shows up, the whole screen freezes and I can’t tap out of it. I have to delete the screen and go into it again, at which point I’ll have to start the quest all over again only to get back to that same screen-freezing problem.

But, since these aren’t part of the main quest, it doesn’t bug me tooo much! I will still keep playing, as I love the story and the characters, but I hope this bug gets fixed soon!!

### 4/5 — Is there more?

*2022-08-09*

I like this game and thought it was very fun to play but the ending is slightly confusing because you don’t know if it’s going to end or not. I hope there’s going to be more but looking online, there was the same confusion 2 years ago. I hope there will be more. Please can the developers reply to this if they are working on more content. Love the game by the way!!!

### 4/5 — Fun game but abrupt end

*2022-08-04*

I was really enjoying the game and thought I had more to go but then it just… ends? There is no “the end” or “to be continued”, you are continuing your quests and then all of a sudden there’s credits and you can only go back to your last saved place. Very disappointing and unsatisfying. I was getting into the storyline and there’s no resolution. Looking online it seems to have been this way for more than 2 years so I’m not expecting a conclusion

### 1/5 — What is this bug???

*2023-06-24*

I love this game but I’m stuck outside next to a pong and am literally the ONLY guild member there??? The rest of my party is non-existent. When I opened the save slot today and saw just my wisp without the other party members, I thought I was strange but wanted to see if I could move around. I should have entered the guildhall then and there without being stupid. Would have saved me hours of having to replay everything.
Now I’m just stuck in a stalemate with a stupid gas cloud. Hahhh I have to start all over again now… All my progress going around and bringing everyone together, all gone. This is just depressing.

### 1/5 — Search for Sam glitch

*2023-02-18*

Have had to fight the group of box corps a few times and every time the game freezes while prismas battery is upgrading.  Said this bug was fixed but it is not.

### 1/5 — Freezing

*2022-04-21*

Every time I beat the road to lift the ladder to save syd I can’t get past the screen where my batteries upgrade

### 1/5 — From someone who hasn’t actually played the game

*2021-06-17*

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to as the game has a very pretty menu screen while open on my Apple TV, but it doesn’t want me to progress much further than that! When trying to start a new game, I can click on “New Game” but it doesn’t wanna go further than that. I thought it might be because of my controller but this has happened on both a PS4 and Xbox controller. I’d love to play and give my actual thoughts but that’s about all I can offer. Lovely title music though!

### 1/5 — Love this game

*2020-03-20*

I love this game, it just badly needs to be updated as every time I try to load my cloud save I get stuck on the loading screen indefinitely. Please help, I miss playing this game and was looking forward to playing it again after buying another month of Apple Arcade but the thought of starting from the beginning again is keeping me from playing it.

### 2/5 — It won’t work!

*2023-08-28*

I’ve been playing this game for two days and I absolutely love it, but there’s a problem. I just got to the top of snog temple and syb and haas just fell in, but when I ran back up they’re just sitting there and the hole is nonexistent. I’ve tried logging out and moving away from the stage but then chazezz gets cross at me. It won’t work. Please fix it because I really love this game, but I can’t play it if it doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Amazing, until it hangs

*2023-04-05*

This is a really engaging game with excellent writing and a great sense of fun. Unfortunately I’m an hour or so in, and can’t progress. My save file is at the end of the Find The Twins quest and every time I finish the quest, the game hangs on the level-up screen…and because of where the game saved, I have no option to do anything *but* finish the quest. My only option is to replay the game from the start with no confidence that I won’t get stuck again. A shame, because I was really enjoying it.

### 2/5 — Freezing

*2023-04-05*

The game so far is really fun but after I find the twins the game freezes It won’t register that the mission is complete and I restart from the last saved spot.

### 2/5 — Disappointing end to an otherwise cute game.

*2020-04-23, version 1.0.10*

I sadly can not recommend this game as it was released unfinished like so many games nowadays. The ending leaves you on a massive cliff hanger while saying that they will add more content in the next update. This is an Apple Arcade game, not some free game you download, waiting for content for a game that is based on a monthly paid service is utterly unacceptable and I’m surprised this was even allowed to be released. This game is more or less a proof of concept as the combat is ridiculously easy and feels more like a tutorial to a longer game that isn’t made. You don’t even get to use the characters powers for more than an hour or two because the game is so short and like I stated before, what amounts to a tutorial stage.

Another gripe I have is that you are punished for interacting with everyone and exploring, if I walk up to an NPC or an object to see what it is and my characters moods suddenly drop because I decided to appreciate what the developers put down in the world I don’t expect to be punished for it.

### 3/5 — one thing wrong

*2024-05-13*

its an amazing game but when you complete a quest and it ups your guilds health sometimes it doesn't let me press the tap button or anything to get off that screen while the game in the background is still playing i try to restart my phone , deleting the app , and everything else and it doesn't let me continue playing

### 5/5 — I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT MORE

*2024-04-16*

(Please release more)
((It's great!))

### 5/5 — Update

*2024-02-03*

I really hope developer can update more soon - clearly the story is unfinished :(

### 5/5 — Basically a very gentle and charming techy version of DND

*2023-01-15*

The only disappointment is that the app hasn’t been updated in two years (as of Jan 2023) so ….. cliffhanger alert! However, chapter one on its own is great intro to DND style gameplay so it’s still worth the time.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-08-13*

I have nothing to say bc I’m so wowed u guys are killing me with sat. +THIS GAME IS THE BOMB I finished and got to the lawnhendge but does the story really end here? Waiting for update! Have to play over and over every time gets more fun next game ima reject palance😈😈😈😈😈

### 5/5 — Incredible game, can’t wait for what’s next!

*2022-07-24, version 1.2.1*

Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but I sincerely hope there will be a next part to this story! I loved this game and all of its characters, especially the way in which which guild members you bring with you to certain places seems to change the way the story unfolds! In other games companion choices mostly only impact what dialogue you see, but in this game who’s in your party seems to actually impact the story, beyond just who you choose to give the shield to before entering the temple. It feels so much more real, because of course having different characters with you should impact the story, just how it might in real life. Incredible game and writing, hopefully more games will follow suit in the future! And more stories for Guildlings!

### 5/5 — Luv it💕

*2022-07-21, version 1.2.1*

Ok so I haven’t even gotten that far into the game but I already love it!! The gameplay is really unique and fun but easy to get the hang of. The conversations that are like texts are fun and interesting. But sometimes it can be like story wise, really slow. And the fact that sometimes you get more than two options on how to do something makes me kinda wonder…”well what if I did the other option?” And gives me the type of sense that I’m missing out. But I really like how innovative it is with the gameplay and story. I’m not sure if there is a way, but I super super wish that you could go back and see all the art. Like an art gallery. Because the art style is soooooo cute and so is the art and I wish you could like go back and see all of it and stuff. 

But overall it’s a really amazing game and the only big BIG thing is the art gallery thing. Other than that… luv it💕

### 5/5 — Cozy game alert

*2022-07-16*

I’ll be waiting patiently for the next part to be released :)

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2022-07-13*

I have always wanted to play a game like this one. Usually when you find a game similar to this one there is almost always ads or the game itself isn’t interesting. With Guildlings I could barely stop playing the game because it was so fun. I love that you can be in control of pretty much everything and there is more than one way to complete tasks. I cannot wait for the new update to release (hopefully soon).

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2022-06-18*

I love this game so much, and I hope people see this because the release date is set in 2023, I’m excited!

### 5/5 — I love this game :)

*2021-12-19, version 1.2.1*

I just want to say that I downloaded this game because I loved the art on the cover of the app, but instead I got one of the best games I’ve ever played. First of all, I love the art style and the overall chill mood of the game, even if I’m battling a fridge (lol). I also love how the guildings’ powers can be used on quests only if they have a obtained specific mood. It really adds to the depth of the game and it makes it a lot more interesting than those fighter games where you spam a single button.
I also absolutely adore how you made the conversations almost in a texting way :0 I love how each unique guilding has a specific texting or talking way (btw Chazazz taking pictures of everything is such a cute detail I love it). I especially love how I can say things in conversations and how each option is different! Overall, I could keep talking bc I really love this game :-) other than the occasional bug or awkward transition, I really think it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Keep up the good work!
