It’s so unfair, poorly designed and entirely not fun. The difficult spike is genuinely absurd. ### 4/5 — 面白い *2026-01-23* 最初難しいけど面白い 300円は絶対お得 パッドが固定なのがマイナス点だけど、他は完璧 ### 2/5 — ❌Unpleasant❌ *2025-08-31* I am not compelled to complete Haak. The game does not rely on the grappling hook concept as much as one might expect. It is a basic game in the Metroidvania genre (Metroidvania games have a maze-like design) with some interesting story/design choices that resemble current times rather than the past or future. This makes the game somewhat interesting. Technically, Haak does take place in the future from 2025 when this review was written. The problem is that the controls do not live up to the interesting elements of Haak. I must have gotten 7-10 hours through the game before deleting it do to boredom. Two-dimensional games with digital circle pads, regular circle pads, or control sticks feel like a waste of an opportunity every single time. ### 5/5 — Awesome game!! Please make another!!! *2025-07-08* Well all that needs to be said is in the title of this post. This game is a hidden gem and I hope more people will be as lucky as I was to have found it. This is a new classic imo. The devs nailed it! Please keep the content coming! ### 5/5 — Haak *2025-07-05* Игра просто шедевральная, жаль нет продолжения ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2025-07-03* Игрушка стоит своих денег, множество концовок и есть побочные квесты ### 5/5 — Класс! *2025-06-21* Игра понравилась. Будет ли геймпад работать в игре, если его подключить к айфону? ### 5/5 — hidden gem *2025-05-24, version 1.1.4* Great game, very underrated and worth the 2.99 give it a try ### 5/5 — 目的はなんだ！？ *2025-05-16* メトロイドヴァニアの良いところがすべて詰まっている！ 数々のヴァニア系をプレイした私ですが、このゲームは値段に見合わない素晴らしいボリューム、特殊能力、謎めいたストーリー。 こんな低価格で出している目的はなんですか！？1500円でも良いくらいの完成度ですよ！ まだクリアしてませんが、この先も楽しみすぎる！ 細かいアクション素晴らしい作り込みだと思います！ありがとうございます！ ### 5/5 — Super Port! *2025-05-14* Ich bin ein Metroidvania-Fan, und ich kann sagen, dass dies ein solides Metroidvania-Spiel ist! Es läuft sogar besser als die iOS-Version und unterstützt Ultrawide-Auflösungen. ### 5/5 — Спасибо разработчикам за игру❤️ *2025-05-07* Шикарная игра с по настоящему захватывающим сюжетом и уникальным геймплеем! ### 4/5 — 키보드 사용시 끊김 문의 *2025-04-30* 키보드로 조작 시 이동 중 점프하면 도중에 끊깁니다. 키보드로는 조작이 불가능한가요? ### 4/5 — Chefs kiss *2025-04-15* This game is def a rare find. One of my favorite games to date. I hope the devs keep up the good work. I’ve paid for a lot of games and had buyers remorse, not with this. Only thing I would ask is that to make this five stars is an update that lets you play music in the background so if I want to hear something other than the game soundtrack I can. But the game sound track is still awesome didn’t stop me from putting in 10 plus hours so far. ### 5/5 — Really immersive and I enjoyed every part of the story. *2025-04-01* I just realized that this version doesn’t have the black and white dlc yet and the news had me a bit disappointed :( I hope it gets an update soon I love the game. <3 ### 3/5 — 游戏有bug *2025-03-30, version 1.0* 用Xbox手柄玩的时候游戏里已经打开了震动开关，但是手柄没有震动效果，游戏的画面比例没有适配16:10比例，制作组请尽快适配一下谢谢！ ### 5/5 — 面白い *2025-03-29* このクオリティで300円はすごい コントローラーでプレイしていますが、面白いです プレイする価値大いにありです！ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t read the text *2026-05-22* I guess I’ve reached a certain age but I can’t read any of the text in the menu. I got stuck at a level because I’m supposed to read the mission details and literally can’t read any of the text, the font is too small. I’m not going to jack up the font size on my entire phone just for this one game. Guess they need a geezer warning on apps (though this is the first time I haven’t been able to use an app or game because the font is illegible). I also tried changing the resolution setting in the app and it didn’t help. ### 1/5 — интуитивно не понятная игра, разочарование *2026-04-24* не стоит и двух сотен, жаль потраченное время ### 1/5 — Not for mobile *2025-11-24, version 1.1.4* Great concept but horribly bad for mobile. The controls are laggy and inconsistent. ### 1/5 — 操作性やばい *2025-04-01* スマホでやるゲームじゃない。少なくともコントローラーが必要です。 ### 1/5 — Баг с фоновым прослушиванием *2025-03-02* Прерывается воспроизведение во время фонового прослушивания музыки или книги вместе с игрой. ### 1/5 — Terrible controls *2024-11-25* Terrible controls, level design super approximatif, suuuuccchhhh a pain ### 1/5 — não gostei *2024-11-11* jogo horrível! ### 1/5 — 操作性悪い *2023-11-03* スマホでアクションゲームよくやるけど、今までで1番悪い **Developer response:** 大変申し訳ございませんでした。ご不快な思いをさせてしまい、心よりお詫び申し上げます。ご指摘いただいた問題点につきましては、最新のアップデートで修正させていただきました。今後ともより良いゲーム体験をお届けできるよう努めてまいります。 何かご不明な点やご要望がございましたら、いつでもhaak@blingame.comまでご連絡ください。今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 ### 1/5 — 不好玩 *2023-03-15, version 1.0.2* 有感太差了 ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2023-01-05, version 1.0.2* Game keeps crashing! After spending a few hours completing the Brewery level, the game crashed when I was returning to New Sanho. The game now refuses to load my saved game! Every time I try to load my saved game file, it automatically crashes the game! I lost 20hrs of game play... :( Developers: please help... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incrível *2026-05-18* Jogo muito bem feito, no aguardo da parte 2 kkk ### 5/5 — Max *2026-04-02* Le jeux il est juste incroyable ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — 非常に満足度の高いゲーム *2026-01-24* どんどんパワーアップして行けるところが増えていく感じが堪らなく面白いです。 やり込んでます。 以下、不具合改善要請(ネタバレ含む) 1.ニューコインで遊べるボスラッシュを始めると戻れなくなるっぽいです。 左下に「戻る」と書かれてるものの、押しても何も起きません。クリアしても戻れないのでセーブもされずコインが増えないので、改善して欲しいです。 2.Baakの頭の中で間違えてマップを開くとそこから戻れない不具合がありました。もともと右下にある❌が現れませんでした。 以上、確認と改善をお願いします。 **Developer response:** コメントありがとうございます！また、返信が遅くなってしまい、大変申し訳ございません🙇 1. ボスラッシュについて ボスラッシュ中は「戻る」ボタンではなく、**メインメニューから退出**していただく形になっております。わかりにくくて申し訳ないです。ご不便をおかけしました！ 2. Baakの頭の中のマップについて こちらは実は 意図的な仕様 となっております。あの空間の特殊な雰囲気を演出するための設計ですので、バグではございませんのでご安心ください😊 やり込んでくださっているとのこと、開発者としてとても嬉しいです！引き続きよろしくお願いします✨ ### 5/5 — HAAK *2026-01-08* got this for my Switch a while back and then saw it on sale here and figured why not. Now I’ve played it more on iOS than on my Switch. =P Very nice and easy to recommend Metroidvania with some pretty nice combat and enough exploration to keep you busy for hours and hours. Plus, it’s another console-quality game on iOS that’s no IAP, what’s not to love? Fans of the genre should definitely have this game on at least one of their gaming systems. ### 5/5 — Probably my favorite game *2026-01-05* I grew up playing the original Metroid and Castlevania games and this is a near perfect homage. The controls are obviously a little harder because it’s on the phone, but that does not detract from the joy of the game. One of the few games I even tried to get good at playing. I hope there is more to come in the future. ### 5/5 — Sequel? *2026-01-02, version 1.1.4* I enjoyed it so much I wish the developer did a sequel/continuation of the game. ### 5/5 — It’s three bucks *2025-12-24, version 1.1.4* It’s three bucks but the game it’s worth it trust me. Never play metroidvania’s but this game is awesome, great controls even though they aren’t shown above. ### 5/5 — очень советую ! *2025-12-18* классная интересная и в меру сложная ! ### 5/5 — Im stuck in one part *2025-10-27, version 1.1.4* Bewe im stuck and I have 1 Month or 2 but i like it is a good game but in getting frutation i need help ### 5/5 — Surpris *2025-09-15* Récemment j’ai été tenté de commencer hollow knight , un jeux connu pour sa difficulté. Avant de me confronter à celui ci j’ai voulu commencer le type metroidvania avec HAAK, je suis tout de suite amoureux du jeu. Musique et ambiance prenantes, gameplay jouissif et carte explorable énorme --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
