*2026-07-28, version 1.1.1178*

This game has so many bugs! Crashes about half of runs. The most frustrating game because it’s fun but most of the crashes happen in the last 5 minutes of a run.

### 3/5 — Great game | constantly crashes

*2026-07-18, version 1.1.1178*

I’ve got quite far in the game but now it just constantly crashes before the end of levels. I’m on an M4 iPad. Basically you cannot complete the game and it’s broken.

This game is hard at first but the grind to make your player better is so satisfying

### 5/5 — Peak INDIE game

*2026-07-04, version 1.1.1178*

This game is a legendary find and play, as it is a rare and quality game experience, with strong world building and aesthetic. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who likes rpg survival and leveling with challenge. It is also affordable and less greedy than most major game companies or slop ai base-building typed games. 10/10 artistic and creative stylings.

### 4/5 — Pls make a log

I wish there was a run log so I can keep track of which area I beat with which character 🥲

A really challenging horde slayer game with satisfying results once you get going

### 1/5 — DLC crashes app everygame and cloud save doesn’t work

*2026-05-31, version 1.1.1178*

It was great last year until cloudsave broke. Losing hundred hours of save data. DO NOT BUY BOGLAND, the game crashes everygame with new character and in torment mode. On IP16PM and M2 IPad.
