This completely unfair and does this mean he can get a higher advantage in hunter rank?? ### 1/5 — Loss *2026-08-26, version 26.187.1818* My old save with many old skins and progress isn't able to be played on iOS. Only game I've played with such harsh restrictions ### 1/5 — AI Ruined a Wonderful Game *2026-08-26, version 26.187.1818* I’ve enjoyed playing Identity V since 2019. The gameplay is incredibly fun and the chase scenes are so dynamic that they don’t easily become boring. The character designs used to be awesome. I love the cute, beautiful, but still spooky art style. However, many community members have flagged various promotional arts for suspected AI use. There are so many accused examples and with the leader of the company himself being so openly pro-AI, it’s hard to believe these accusations aren’t true (for at least some of the pieces). For that reason, I will not be playing the game or spending any money on it anymore until the AI is gone. I’m an artistic person, I am drawn to games like this because of that. AI has no life, it’s not art. The game isn’t fun anymore. I encourage everyone else to boycott the game or at least reduce spending! If enough of us stand together, we can stop AI slop from completely taking over gaming! We don’t have to lose a wonderful game like Identity V, if enough of us band together, the company will listen! Never give up the fight for human creativity! ### 2/5 — NERF HERZTIER *2026-08-26, version 26.187.1818* PLEASE PLEASE NERF HIM BY THE TIME ONE GOES TO RESCUE HE PLUNGES DOES 25% fear IMMEDIATELY USES DASH ABILITY TWICE WITH BOTH HITS DOING 50% THEN DOES THE FINAL ATTACK AND DOES ALL 100% MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE ### 1/5 — Please bring controller support *2026-08-25, version 26.187.1818* This game would be great if they did that ### 1/5 — Generative AI *2026-08-25, version 26.187.1818* I will not support a billionaire's company use of generative AI. Hire real artists. ### 2/5 — download bug? *2026-08-23, version 26.187.1818* i’ve played this game before and understand i have to downloads main packs. i download all of them yet i cant play? i exit game and im expected to redownload them again ### 3/5 — Love that game BUT *2026-08-23, version 26.187.1818* I play idv for a long time now. Sadly, I start to be more disappointed and annoyed. The game play is still fun, I love the characters and everything that turn around the game, that why I keep the start and the game…but the hunter are getting more and more annoying then the survivor. For example the new hunter that just come out can literally kite a survivor in one shot. It unfair, while survivor are just getting abilities that can’t be use as much as hunter does. So please try to make better abilities for the survivors because I’m pretty sure people could agree with me that playing survivor now can be pretty annoying. ### 5/5 — identity V *2026-08-22, version 26.187.1818* game hay vl ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game lag *2026-09-05, version 26.187.1818* Wish u guys can fix the game lag ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-09-02, version 26.187.1818* Why is the different factions so unbalanced it sucks i hate it fix every hunters hitbox and make detention longer ### 1/5 — terrible lag and gacha luck *2026-09-01, version 26.187.1818* this game is fun and all but the lag is so bad that at least every game i reconnect to the server with perfect wifi bars, and the gacha for s tier and a simple a tier is bad, if your not high on the logic path your not gonna get an a tier skin less likely at least. unless you spent money on echos for a skin of any kind. also the fact that theyve started using ai for ads and possibly skin concepts is extremely lazy especially with how greedy this company is. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-31, version 26.187.1818* Garbage Game ### 1/5 — Garbage game for people trash in dbd *2026-08-30, version 26.187.1818* The majority of hunters require the intellect of an cloaca to use not to mention they use gen ai for their art. Does it get any worse? The answer is no. Furthermore, mandatory bot games if your teammates sell? Yeah nice one. Playing Hunter is so easy considering you’re 70% more likely to win your games cuz some hunters are borderline overpowered to the point you can’t even look in their direction without being negatively affected in some way. Everything about this game is utter garbage don’t waste your time it’d be better spent watching paint dry ### 1/5 — Identity v *2026-08-29, version 26.187.1818* I just wanted to say I’m disappointed yo see my favorite game going through this because this selfish company but I don’t want the game to be gone because it’s my favorite I will be not playing until they something comes up. ### 1/5 — Use of generative AI *2026-08-29, version 26.187.1818* AI has no place in a game owned by a billion dollar company. Do better. ### 1/5 — AI usage *2026-08-28, version 26.187.1818* used to be a good game but they keep whitewashing poc characters and using AI ### 1/5 — i do not agree with, appreciate, nor support the ai usage. please use real artists *2026-08-27, version 26.187.1818* it is seriously getting out of hand, with ai being used from anything ranging from official art, skins, social media posts, etc… i think it’s really disappointing considering this game used to be so creative, the main appeal of it was how beautiful and unique the art used to be. when using ai, all of this goes down the drain. it is incredibly sad. netease, do better please, and hire and support actual artists. we do not want to see ai in our games and the boycott will continue until this stops ### 1/5 — Unfair and unbalanced *2026-08-26, version 26.187.1818* Despite majority of the players saying that the new hunter (hertzier/emil) is very unfair,unbalanced, and should nerfed, identityV just turns a blind eye and doesnt care to nerf him. Hertzier is unbalanced and unfair especially in rank and it is very unfair to other players. Please nerf this hunter! The majority of the players want his nerf aswell! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool game *2026-09-04, version 26.187.1818* I love dead by daylight so I love this game. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-09-03, version 26.187.1818* This game is so fun bro.

It came out the day after my birthday. somehow managed to get the whole family to play it as well (parents, siblings, cousins, etc…) you know its a good game when a whole family starts playing it and actually enjoys it. Edit: its pretty upsetting that IDV is using AI now… 😭 ### 5/5 — Best Game on App Store Hands Down *2026-08-26, version 26.187.1818* Been playing for 4 years & this game still never fails at being the absolute BEST!! ### 5/5 — super fun! *2026-08-25, version 26.187.1818* i enjoyed it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
