### 3/5 — Hard mode crashes

*2025-05-13, version 1.1.10*

The game often crashes on hard mode, meaning you have to restart the entire level

### 4/5 — very great but buggy

*2025-05-07, version 1.1.10*

there is this bug where the screen glitches out then the level either restarts or automatically ends and plays the cutscene. i can’t play the levels due to this bug, please fix it.

### 4/5 — Mobile port

*2025-04-26, version 1.1.10*

Good mobile port

### 3/5 — App crashing

*2025-04-19, version 1.1.10*

Great game but crashes after level 4, deled game same deal. Lovely game otherwise!

### 3/5 — Great game

*2025-04-12, version 1.1.10*

It’s a really fun game but for some reason it just keeps on crashing I would give it 5 stars if that issue is fixed

### 4/5 — The game crashed to much

*2025-04-06, version 1.1.10*

The game crashed tomuchhhhh

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2025-03-29, version 1.1.10*

Genuinely a fantastic game did not expect netflix to have such good games lol

### 5/5 — Great, Unique Game

*2025-03-24, version 1.1.10*

The lore behind this game is great. The gameplay is unique and fluid, so i hope to find more content in the future. I wouldn’t mind paying for more content at all, if there’s ever a DLC.

### 5/5 — This game is unbelievably good.

*2025-03-20*

I downloaded this game, thinking the pixel art looks good. Then i forget i downloaded it, leave it for 5 months, come back and finally play it, and wow. I am so mad at myself for not playing the single best 2d action game i’ve ever played. Aside from the beautiful visuals and amazing character designs, amazing story, and amazing dialog, the combat itself is absolutely amazing. It feels so cool blocking a bullet by hitting it, dodging a machine gun, and slashing them to oblivion.

Anyways, get more games like this.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2025-03-14, version 1.1.10*

I been playing this game on Xbox since 2021 u can play it all the way through in one sitting if u try 2-4 hours but the story and mechanics are so good I come back every few months

### 3/5 — Great game! Wont Run!

*2025-03-12, version 1.1.10*

It seems like a great game, great story, great art, great gameplay. However, I can’t get past this level without the game crashing and me having to close and reopen the game several times only for it to crash again. Im not sure why! If someone has any tips pls send help.

### 3/5 — Crouch is busted

*2025-03-09, version 1.1.10*

The game is great but the port could be way better. The biggest problem is how broken the crouch is. The prison level has extra content if you clear it without being noticed, but the only way to do it is to hope the game wants to crouch consistently through the scenes.

### 5/5 — Просто шедевр!!!

*2025-02-26, version 1.1.10*

Уместить в 270 мб настоящий хит под силу только Нетфликс. Спасибо разработчикам за этот шедевр!) Просто 10/10! Netflix is best!)

### 5/5 — I NEED MORE

*2025-02-19, version 1.1.10*

this is PEAK drop part 2 PLEASE and add more endings

### 2/5 — Great game, awful port. (Mainly controls.)

*2025-02-14*

This is an amazing game, gameplay, story, etc. But the real problem I’m having is controls. These mobiles controls for the game are very finicky, and it’s evident to me this game’s controls just don’t translate well to mobile, as in the psychiatrist fight I almost literally can NEVER see what’s coming from the bottom left and bottom right corners since that’s the only spot I can hold my fingers where they block my vision of the screen the least. This has led to me getting caught off guard in ridiculous ways such as dodge rolling into a corner to escape an attack, only to be hit with a syringe basically hiding in the corner.

### 1/5 — Can’t buy it have to have Netflix account

*2025-05-13, version 1.1.10*

Not good

### 1/5 — Great game

*2025-04-18, version 1.1.10*

But it keeps on crashing on me

### 1/5 — Who ever made this game kys

*2025-03-20, version 1.1.10*

This game is so hard It makes me wanna kill someone

### 1/5 — Controls don’t seem to work

*2025-02-22, version 1.1.10*

No clear idea what to do and just got stuck between two buildings.

### 1/5 — Shi

*2025-01-14, version 1.0.56*

shi yi tuo da bian

### 1/5 — Slow Reaction

*2024-12-21, version 1.0.56*

Even when I press a button, it doesn’t work, so I fail all levels

### 1/5 — Great game but horrible port

*2024-10-07, version 1.0.56*

Controls are so clunky, response time seems to be delayed, it’s impossible to get some of the in game endings, because the controls do not allow you to go from sneaking to crouched without revealing yourself, preventing completing certain objectives.

### 1/5 — A Lot of Problems

*2024-05-31*

There is no tutorial. You will have to do levels ten times or more just learning what is going to happen in the level (it is all trial and error). And some of the levels are long, which means getting to the end just to see ANOTHER new thing that kills you and that means starting all over (and you still have four new things left to kill you after that last one, fun times). And if there is a conversation, you have to do it every single time you run the level.

The controls, mainly the joystick, feel terrible. There is no way to change the sensitivity of it. Half the time I’m crouching when I don’t want to, or dropping down through levels when I don’t want to do so. Jumping from wall to wall feels so bad and janky that I generally just use the attack to climb the walls instead.

The Skip Rewind toggle seems to do nothing, as I still have to watch the level every time I complete one. Or does this do something else? Not sure, as documentation is abysmal in the game.

There is also letterboxing, and the graphics are again blurry (same as Hades).

Netflix used to be killing it. Their last few apps though have been really awful IMHO. I use Netflix mainly for their video streaming, so I guess these mostly-terrible games are just a bonus anyways (for me, at least).

### 1/5 — Controls don’t work

*2024-05-31*

This game is impossible with touch controls and iphone controller attachment doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Letterboxed

*2024-05-24*

Doesn’t take advantage of the full screen of either my iPhone or iPad. Somehow I feel like this just isn’t the way this game (or Hades) was meant to be experienced. I’m grateful for Netflix’s efforts to bring these games to iOS, but I wish they wouldn’t cut corners like this.

**Developer response:** Hi Jeremy, thank you for leaving us a review!

### 5/5 — Peak

*2025-05-31, version 1.1.10*

I can’t even put it in words on how much I loved this game

### 5/5 — Almost too good😢

*2025-05-19, version 1.1.10*

i CANT WAIT to see what happens next im really hoping for a sequal🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Amazing game but..

*2025-04-29*

This game is amazing. I personally just adore pixel art. The gameplay is engaging and interesting, providing something not many other games have. The story is very interesting and I found myself wanting to know more every time the little tidbits of lore were given. But I have been having an issue with the game freezing completely when I break open a door and hit an enemy on the other side, more specifically the shorter more muscular brute type enemies. I dont know if this is a iPhone model issue or if its a bug but it can be very frustrating since I have to close out the game entirely to make it unfreeze.

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.10*

Extremely addicting gameplay, and extremely great lore. If possible, i highly recommend playing with a mobile game controller, makes the combat and movement even more fluid. Super excited for the DLC!

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2025-04-22, version 1.1.10*

my game crashed and I thought it was part of the game

### 5/5 — Amazing game!!!

*2025-04-18, version 1.1.10*

It was fun and also had a great story and I would love a continuation of this.

### 5/5 — Excellent with a controller

*2025-04-12, version 1.1.10*

Download, plug in your controller and smile

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2025-04-07*

This is an outstandingly brilliant game. I finished it in about 2 weeks. The story is good but man the gameplay, the way I would describe it is fast paced difficult and responsive, it is so good. After I was done with this game I felt like I needed to play anything that could get anywhere near this level of responsive, but I still haven’t found a single game that has reached this level. I hope the developers make another game similiar to this one. The fighting aspect was really good and I wish they would have a game mode where we endlessly just fought.

### 5/5 — WE NEED A SEQUEL OR PREQUEL 🙏🙏

*2025-04-02, version 1.1.10*

Better than most AAA games. One of the best stories I’ve seen. Gameplay is challenging, but actually fun. A little short, but that doesn’t matter. If the devs were to come out with a sequel, I guarantee that people would immediately buy it. This game is so good, that it should be 30-40$. Im not joking

### 5/5 — Still amazing

*2025-03-30, version 1.1.10*

I first played this on switch then found out it was on mobile and had to try it. Still amazing
