### 3/5 — 遊戲性很差

*2025-12-21, version 1.4.0*

負重很嚴格動不動就超重，影響跑速，但是敵人沒這問題還是跑的很快，也不會提示物品重量 2. 強制遇到狼就得打，不能逃或以食物引誘交換，又是拖速 3. 所有學過的設備都不能繼承，等於逼人戰鬥死/渴死，然後再來一次

### 5/5 — Best game

*2021-09-15, version 1.4.0*

This is my favorite game, I have played it all the way through many times. Please make a sequel, especially with the ending it has... maybe he could find his daughter at the half way point and have to support food and water for two? And to win the game you need to get to safe settlement and obtain/upgrade a house/apartment/rented room? I really hope there is a home behind 2 in the works!

### 5/5 — I like it so far

*2021-08-23, version 1.4.0*

Only recently started playing but from I’m seeing, I enjoy so far.

### 5/5 — 很好上手

*2021-07-17, version 1.4.0*

想買更多劇情

### 3/5 — 買了dlc但不能開通，apple store顯示己購買

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-03-18, version 1.4.0*

I hope I can play home behind 2 on mobile soon

### 4/5 — A memorable game for sure

*2021-02-26, version 1.4.0*

There’s countless things I love about this game and it’s why I’m rating it as high as I am but it could just so easily be 5 stars but the fact that when you die you have to start from the beginning just isn’t fair . I’ve since made it 54% and after having to face enemy , after enemy .. sometimes 4 in a row is exhausting . I’ve started to get to a point where I’m just so frustrated and not sure if it’s even possible to beat . Top notch game but needs some tweaks here and there . You can tell there was a lot of hard work put into this and I applaud the devs

### 5/5 — 很好的遊戲

*2021-01-05, version 1.4.0*

希望碎片可以增加飲食上限，無盡最高難度飲食扣太快，平均2秒就要吃東西

### 4/5 — i phone11pro max看不見負重多少請修復

*2020-12-18, version 1.4.0*

i phone11 pro max Can't see the weight of the backpack please fix it

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-08-23, version 1.4.0*

This is such an incredible game. I don’t usually enjoy this type of game, I either find them too difficult or too slow, but this one was different. I was immediately enraptured and while it was difficult, (and for those of you experienced players there are multiple difficulty levels), it wasn’t impossible. Thank you for this!

### 5/5 — 殘念

*2020-08-13, version 1.4.0*

在最後一個王的時候被砍死.........
不過遊戲本身還蠻好玩的，要注意的東西很多，對新手來說頗有難度

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good

*2020-05-12, version 1.4.0*

When I first downloaded this game I figured it would just be another survival game with a cheesy storyline. However, this is game is so much more than that. The storyline is interesting and emotionally impactful. You meet several characters as you go who have such dynamic stories behind them. There is no absolute evil or good. Typically in games like this, the story is almost a distraction, but this one I found myself reading through the dialogue more than once because of how good it was. The ending leaves you wanting more. 

The only criticism I might have is that a lot of the skills and crafting aren’t very intuitive and I had to learn as I went. However, I feel that is true to the type of story being told.

### 5/5 — Progress Sharing?

*2020-01-12, version 1.4.0*

How do i share progress between my phone and iPad? Love the game it’s perfect just want my phone to keep same spot from my iPad.

### 4/5 — Attention Developer(s)

*2019-12-29, version 1.4.0*

This game overall is my favorite of all and have give a huge air clap on the storyline, story art/design and creativity. I have a HUGE problem though. I have collected numerous shards and postcards, however, they are enabled but do not increase my stats or aren’t even active. Am I doing something wrong? I can’t reach out to customer support.

### 5/5 — Dialogue

*2019-12-27, version 1.4.0*

Occasionally changes from English to Japanese other than that great game

### 1/5 — 恢復購買失敗

*2025-01-29, version 1.4.0*

恢復購買失敗

### 1/5 — 无法恢复购买

*2024-08-31, version 1.4.0*

游戏还是不错的

### 1/5 — 无尽模式DLC无法恢复购买

*2021-08-23, version 1.4.0*

游戏本体5🌟

### 1/5 — 過了三次

*2020-10-14, version 1.4.0*

遊戲很多不合理
1）資源拿到全靠運氣。
拿不到。你只能卡關到死。
2）冗長又重複的關卡玩了初次新奇。
後面重複破關還是了無新意
3）炸彈炸到動彈不得炸到死。
現實生活一定馬上死。流彈波及差不多人必死無疑。
但這是遊戲。
但這是遊戲。
但這是遊戲。
4）重複破關沒有福利
為了想有新職業體驗重複被虐實在心情很不爽。
打了幾小時好不容易隨便掛點。沒水。沒特定資源。掛點。
你媽的這是現實人生還是遊戲？
是給玩家體驗還是被虐？
為了破一次。死不知幾次。還有在最後一關死的。有夠瞎。
玩一次破關就夠累了。
後面重複玩起碼降低難度或是鳥事機率。
不然設計太多職業都是垃圾！
我用3個最爛的職業破關3次。
再重複玩了幾次後。死的莫名其妙。火大到刪遊戲。
這只能說是小品遊戲。玩一次就差不多可以刪遊戲了。
至於職業設計。我個人覺得一點意義都沒有。
畫蛇添足。濫竽充數。拖時間拖台錢用的。

### 1/5 — 日本語非対応

*2020-09-16*

情報の言語に日本語が書いてあるのにインストールしてみたら日本語非対応でした。英語ができない人からしたら何も分からないし全く面白くないです。

### 1/5 — 一直說無法恢復購買

*2019-07-21, version 1.3.6*

一直說無法恢復購買，需要重開，但是重開了也沒用，微信關注了也沒有拿到奬勵，感覺問題很多

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-05-03, version 1.3.6*

I don't want to he disparaging, but I was disappointed that I spent my money on this game.

### 1/5 — 無法購買無盡

*2019-02-09, version 1.3.6*

如題

### 1/5 — 閃退無法玩

*2018-10-31, version 1.3.6*

為何每次在開頭打野狼時就閃退了，無法繼續玩下去！！！

### 1/5 — 詐欺ですか！！！！  scam！！！？？？？？

*2018-10-17*

### 5/5 — Waiting for the new map

*2025-06-01, version 1.4.0*

Please continue developing this good game!

### 5/5 — 希望出2

*2024-05-17, version 1.4.0*

一般模式劇情完就沒了，所以買了無盡模式，很好消耗時間，而且還多了幾個職業可以選，雖然過程大同小異，可是物品及事件隨機還滿有趣的，玩起來也沒壓力，想玩就玩，想停就停，偶爾拿出來轉換遊戲模式也不錯

### 5/5 — 超級棒的遊戲

*2023-09-03, version 1.4.0*

希望作者多發行

### 5/5 — Pls update

*2023-04-30, version 1.4.0*

Update pls

### 5/5 — 가방 제발

*2023-02-24*

나중엔 다버리고 다님

### 5/5 — 好玩

*2022-04-03, version 1.4.0*

非常好玩

### 5/5 — 无法恢复购买

*2022-02-26, version 1.4.0*

🥲

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2022-01-22, version 1.4.0*

I’ve been playing this game for months now, and I can say I’ve put in a good amount of hours into it. Each game is not the same, different scenarios & different ways to survive. That’s what makes it fun.

### 5/5 — 內購dlc問題

*2022-01-11, version 1.4.0*

很好玩，非常好的遊戲，但是不知道為什麼無法恢復購買，點了沒反應

### 5/5 — 會上癮的遊戲

*2021-10-02, version 1.4.0*

《歸家異途》不靠畫質，不靠激烈的戰爭作為賣點，這款遊戲和現有社會問題作連接，描述出人性向善及人性醜惡。 而在遊戲中每一場都有不確定因素影響着你的生死，這種未知性令人產生賭博心理，而成功及失敗將會充斥在這個旅程。在面對生死之間你的選擇又會如何？在遊戲當中你能成為可憐兮兮的善人及惡名昭彰的大盜，人性及生存之間使人成為惡魔還是能保留人性光輝，都又你選擇。 ——人性不只是玩家。—— 在每位經過的人都顯示出人的欲望及自私，主角作為難民，不免會被人歧視並為此攻擊主角，遊戲使我更能代入難民心理，反省自己對難民偏見。 劇情看法 結果令人深刻，雖然這款遊戲並非以劇情為賣點，但是劇情發展令遊戲變得更有韻味。 遊戲性 以生存為重點，遊戲有「心情」「飢餓」「口渴」三大問題，每一口食飯每一口水都相當重要，更重要的是遊戲並沒有”Ctrl+Z”，一旦做了便無法挽回。無論是幸福所帶來的喜悅，或是遊戲後期的「富裕」所擁有成就感都讓我樂此不疲地遊玩。 最終遊戲評價為五星
