But I thought the Icarus game for PC let you explore almost anywhere, flying or not. This game only lets you fly in a very limited area. Not to mention that you can literally just let the game do your quests while you sit there and watch.(I mean, why have a game that lets you do that? You’re going to get bored within 10 minutes!) The developers should let you fly anywhere you want. ### 4/5 — Good Start *2021-06-18, version 1.0.23* Enjoying the game so far, much different from the PC game. I love the graphics, the character creation, and combat. Unlike other games this one doesn’t waste your time in this “click several places to get this one thing” labyrinth. You have a collect all button and that’s that. It seems a little too easy but I’m sure as I get into group content it will be more challenging. Feedback: please get rid of gender lock for classes. Also I’ve never liked the forced auto path. A mini map with a quest marker would be better. ### 4/5 — Awesome game but... *2021-03-14, version 1.0.21* I haven’t been playing very long, but I enjoy playing this game a lot. However, it can get a little boring very quickly. This can be solved just by adding a path that we can follow manually to get to our destination. This may seem useless, but without this, most of the game is automatic and we’re not actually playing it. Thank you **Developer response:** Hello Rider YEETER, We appreciate you for taking the time to give your feedback, and trying out our game. We are happy to hear that you're enjoying Icarus M! Your comments and suggestions are highly appreciated! ### 4/5 — Problems. *2021-03-07, version 1.0.21* Hi I wish I could play ur game it’s just bugged. Everytime I try it always freezes and turns black and puts me on my home screen I I understand u might be busy I just really wanna play. **Developer response:** Hi Rider, We apologize for your unsatisfactory experience in the game.

The controls are really late and I don’t know why ### 3/5 — I have an issue *2020-10-02, version 1.0.16* So i used to play this game a lot, so when it came out on mobile, it was so amazing. But i can’t get the game to start. I get to the screen where it shows my character and “game start” but i cant start the game. ### 4/5 — Level stuck *2020-10-01, version 1.0.16* Just wanted to ask. My exp bar is currently at 100% and it seemed to be stuck at my current level. Is that supposed to happened? **Developer response:** Hi Rider WeiMoXian, We apologize for your unsatisfactory experience in the game.

Please fix this issue. Or unless you guys are still doing maintenance please change the time. It gets confusing when you put basically a time limit for the maintenance but you have a different time when its supposed to end. Also I would like it if you guys give us a notice. I don’t care if it’s an hour before the maintenance but please give us a heads up if your going to do maintenances. It should not be hard to post a real quick post saying “we will be doing maintenance in an hour (or whatever time) So please save all your stuff before maintenance”. Until fixed I’m going to keep it at a two star. **Developer response:** Hi Rider MochiCoffee, Thanks for getting in touch, we appreciate you for trying out the game. We are sorry about the maintenance that's keeping you from playing, rest assured that we are now sending out notifications and announcements about future maintenance. We appreciate your support and patience. ### 3/5 — Ouch a lot of issues, great game but..... *2020-09-21, version 1.0.13* . How do you make pictures of all familiar are totally gone? :) good stuff ### 4/5 — Help *2020-09-18, version 1.0.13* I’ve downloaded it. It was at a hundred percent froze then made me restart I was at 3000 points why did this happen happened a second time ### 2/5 — One star because two reasons!!!!! *2020-09-18, version 1.0.13* I will gladly change my review when these issues are addressed 1.)First main issue unable to play multiple characters from different devices I tried for hours linking to different accounts only to find all my accounts syncing to the same general game like other games would one account So I gave up and played them at separate times which puts each behind 2.) second issue I tried to contact the game about the issue only to find everything only written in Korean: I actually have a 3rd issue as well all the requirements to accept policy to play the game seems strange to ask for so much . The game itself is actually good all except the guild ability to recruit and guild chat not there . Address my issues with some options and my review might change **Developer response:** Hello Rider Nature*, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate you for trying out the game.

Theres some other things i want to mention but i know u will fix it sooner or later. It has to do with open world quest or auto main quest has a bug where it doesnt follow the quest just runs unto a wall or it kick me out of game. I hope u fix all these problems. ### 1/5 — Things to fix *2021-10-01, version 1.0.25* It is a crappy game you need to make like the pc one and you need to make it so you can ride them all the time whenever you want and to let us fly free it the worst game I have ever seen you can’t tame dragon or unicorn it a copy of the pc one make it like the pc one and add playing with people and make Dungeons and make mazes a more fun stuff and quest to get more familiars and trading them . ### 1/5 — iPhone 12 Pro Max incompatible *2021-07-07, version 1.0.25* Graphics are messed up, half the pixels appear dead ### 1/5 — I love the game on the PC *2021-04-29, version 1.0.23* I’ve been playing Riders of Icarus for years on the pc. 10/10 Highly recommend, but ONLY for PC. I was so hype when I saw for mobile but I can’t finish downloading the game. It launches, then requests to download more in order to actually play, cool. But then the game crashes before the download finishes. Every time. I’ve tried uninstalling it completely three times, restarted my I pad, multiple times, it will not download. Talk about a disappointment. **Developer response:** Hi Rider. We apologize for this. Please send us your concern at https://vfun.valofe.com/customer/inquiry_not_login?service_code=icarusm_global along with the screenshot of the error you receive.

I really wanna play this game so much! It’s so beautiful! ### 1/5 — YAWN *2020-09-16, version 1.0.13* Just your average cookie cutter Asian mmorpg with auto everything, terrible translation, super p2w, and boring generic storyline. If you’ve played any Asian mmorpg in the last few years, then you’ve basically played this game already. Also, the constant flying to different areas of land gets old very very fast😪😴 ### 1/5 — Trash... Pure Garbage. *2020-09-16, version 1.0.13* I use to play rider of icarus on PC and it have substance... this mobile is completely trash! Disappointed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-02-28, version 1.0.26* Great graphics. Many ways offered to level up. Easy user interface. ### 5/5 — It’s okay *2021-01-03, version 1.0.19* Gender lock ### 5/5 — Love the game but it keeps crashing me *2020-11-29, version 1.0.18* Hey devs! I’ve like to make a report about the game, well, it’s good so far, but it keeps crashing me. When I start the game, it glitches me out entirely, which I found annoying. Please fix it! ### 5/5 — 🧐 *2020-11-20, version 1.0.17* There is no need for another rpg ### 5/5 — Great game! Can F2P with no pay walls *2020-10-21, version 1.0.16* Hi all, Just wanted to say this is a fun game, specially if you like to grind to increase your character power and actually gain power. This is not one of those generic MMOs you grind for days on end and the lose it all on a gamble. There are so many different ways to increase your power. If you spend a lot a money you can also increase very fast but this doesn’t break the game for F2P players. It actually helps advance your server since everyone can join in on world bosses and join in daily dungeons . Some downsides that needs fixed is the tutorial confuses a lot of new players and tend me to scare them away, since they then try asking in world chat when stuck and players are getting tired of answering the same questions a bunch times a day and can end up getting trolled by sour players. Also a lot of international players So not everyone speaks same language. Maybe add in some more quick tips pop up to different sections on character charts and quests and clarifications on some of the familiar upgrade buttons since it’s not always Clare what will happen when you chose to do an upgrade option. Second is the event times are harsh, specially on Elora. With our server split between player in different countries the Guild war times are either super late at night or very early in the morning and it’s hard to get people to log in at those times. So if there were any changes needed it would be either add a second GW time during the day and just keep the entry limits the same or put the GW event at a time more accessible to players. ### 5/5 — All Auto *2020-10-09, version 1.0.16* I played the game for 3 days and I never actually played the game. It is ALL auto. That being said the game is beautiful and has a lot of potential, and I wanted to really like it. **Developer response:** Hi Rider Senwulf, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate you for trying out the game.

However I have this one request. Is it possible for the game to have the option to fly anywhere in the map if you have a flying mount? I think this would make the game greater and amazing. However, this is still an amazing game:3👍🏽 **Developer response:** Hi Rider Eevee96, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate you for trying out the game. Your suggestion is awesome and rest assured that our Devs will hear about it.
