There are some games where you can’t even get past the first level. This game is not that hard but still extremely challenging. Also unlike other lovecraftian games this includes lore from the original Cthulhu mythos making it one of the best rougelikes I’ve seen in a long time ### 5/5 — Пушка! *2022-12-06* Рекомендую. Грать с джойстиком, игра очень интересная и полна всяких неожиданностей. Уже прохожу за профессора, но уже понимаю, что буду заново проходить за детектива) ### 5/5 — Отлично *2022-11-03* Отдельный респект за камео Джеффри комбса , в уровне из первого реаниматора ### 5/5 — Понравилась *2022-08-14* Хорошая игра, временами довольно хардкорная ### 5/5 — Отличная игра, но крашится *2022-06-24* Сама игра замечательная, но никак не могу прорваться через Сельский погост на iPad, потому что на этом уровне постоянно крашится приложение. И все-таки игра клёвая, рекомендую. ### 5/5 — Money well spent! *2022-06-09, version 1.321* My first foray into The Lovecraft Mythos and it’s been an intriguing one. After trying the game out on GooglePlay and moving over to IOS recently it’s been an interesting thrilling adventure. I’ve played with multiple characters and I’ve to say it’s a very immersive and yet challenging experience. The various difficulty levels have you traversing the polished maps with cautious adventure. The style line unfolds and the mythos opens up to you as you develop an interest in the collective ties that bind the characters together. Would recommend the game well. I’ve played both inebriated and sober and I’ve to say it’s a challenge of clarity overall. Think critically and pay attention to the keen details of the game as it requires multiple play through. Most of all have fun and get a feel for the characters as you go as the storyline and characterization collectively mesh together well. ### 5/5 — Великолепно!!! *2021-12-03* Игра великолепна и стоит своих денег! Сюжет, атмосфера, адоптация на смартфон- все на 5/5. ### 5/5 — Excéllente surprise *2021-11-27* Petit prix, gros contenus, pas de pub, univers bien retranscrit’ seul bémol : pas en français et qq problème lié a l’er gonomie des touches sur ipad malgres de bonnes options. Du bon travail ### 4/5 — Eu amei o jogo *2021-11-19* Porém poderia ter pt hr,ficaria mais fácil entender os diálogos :,) ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-09-06, version 1.321* Everything Lovecraft! This game does a great job of showcasing the feel of Lovecraft! ### 5/5 — The one i’ve been waiting for *2021-08-26, version 1.321* This is the rogue-like i’ve been waiting for. Lots of nods to Lovecraft and the Mythos; great little easter eggs (like a certain Reanimator). It has quirks you need to learn painfully and does not hold your hand but as someone whose favorite game ever is Dark Souls, i’m good with that. I paid a non-discounted $10 and i got that value in the first two chapters with just one of the four playable characters. Highly recommend if you’re a Mythos fan for sure. ### 5/5 — I Highly Recommend It *2021-08-16, version 1.321* It’s cheap and engaging. What more could you want from a mobile game? ### 5/5 — One Happy Camper *2021-08-15, version 1.321* Totally fantastic game I love it. A must play for anyone who loves these type of games. Stunning, creepy, strange, a spine tingling gruesome tale of terror. ### 5/5 — Really cool game but.. *2021-08-15* For anyone with larger hands I’d say it borders on unplayable joystick wise. I only spent 0.99 on it though and I enjoyed it so I deleted it and went and got the console version instead. ### 5/5 — Cooles Game *2021-08-07* Bin noch relativ am Anfang des Spiels. Bisher ist Die Story interessant. Die Steuerung ist sehr gut. Controller getestet,geht auch. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Schwierigkeitsgrad ist eine Frechheit auf einem handy mit touch screen *2025-10-18* ^ ### 1/5 — Way too difficult *2024-05-22, version 1.321* Can’t avoid bleeding to death every single time ### 1/5 — НЕ СТРЕЛЯЕТ *2023-02-03* ЭТА МРAЗЬ НЕ СТРЕЛЯЕТ !!!!!! Я знаю как это делать он в самом начале сделал две тычки и перестал насовсем ,я уже всё перепробовал он не стреляет ПСИНА ЧТОБ ТЫ ПОДОХ. Ай донт кноу ,удалил же уже,я писал 28 декабря ,Вы ответили спустя месяц **Developer response:** Добрый день. Вы просто нажимаете кнопку выстрели или перетаскиваете ее в том направлении, в котором хотите стрелять? ### 1/5 — Просто без слов. *2021-08-08* На iPhone 6 вылетает каждые несколько минут , так ещё и деньги не возвращают. **Developer response:** Добрый вечер, $ileX. Мы знаем об этом. Существует проблема, которая затрагивает некоторые модели iPad2 и iPhone 6. Мы пытаемся решить ее как можно скорее, но, похоже, это проблема аппаратного обеспечения этих моделей. Если у вас есть возможность играть на другом устройстве, пока мы ищем решение, сделайте это. Приносим свои извинения за неудобства. ### 1/5 — Ultra *2021-08-07* Ultramiese Steuerung kombiniert mit ultraschwerem Gameplay (auf easy!?!). Frustration gepaart mit Ärger. Selbst 99 Cent sind dafür noch mindestens 5€ zu viel (richtig: man sollte Geld für so eine Unverschämtheit vom Entwickler bekommen und nicht für so einen Müll zahlen müssen…) ### 1/5 — Awesome game.. but.. *2021-01-08, version 1.321* I’m using an IPhone 6 and I can’t play more than 15 minutes without the app crashing. Maybe y’all could help me out? ### 1/5 — Lost count of the times it’s crashed *2020-07-05, version 1.321* Enjoyed the story, but can’t deal with all crashes starting Ch. 3. Save yourself some money and frustration. Update: every scenario/clue in ch. 3 that causes loss of sanity is crashing your app. ### 1/5 — Too hard *2020-05-18, version 1.321* I wanted to love the game but after the twentieth time dying in the same level and replaying the same room battles over and over again I gave up on it. If you like replaying the same fights over and over and over and over and over again because you die and can’t save your place even though you’ve cleared twenty rooms, this game is for you. ### 1/5 — Braucht ein Update *2020-05-09* Gutes Spiel, bis Level 3... Hier stürzt es irgendwann immer ab. Habe das auch in anderen Reszensionen gelesen, es wäre also mal ein Update fällig. ### 1/5 — Please patch control over saves is needed *2020-05-06, version 1.321* I love this game but I get frustrated over the lack of control over savings. I can spend an hour sweeping everything clean, go to the yellow inventory box (without going to the safe place) and then if I need to leave, I just restart as if I would had done no progress at all in the level. If I go to the next level inside the chapter (IE green mines) but need to leave to the safe place I go back to the beginning of the previous chapter with blank state! Please save me hours of gameplay or just let me have them for fun and not be it of frustration. The lack of saving control is truly ruining gameplay. Please add a patch to give us save control. Thank you so much. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Очень хорошо *2026-04-29, version 1.321* Сабж. Единственное - довольно неудобно управлять с сенсора, лучше подключить джой для более комфортной игры ### 5/5 — Ништяк! *2025-08-09* Завалил Ктулху, полет нормальный. ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever! *2025-03-08, version 1.321* If you love Lovecraft and Roguelite games, this is a must have! The pixel art style also a really nice touch, honestly if it was a different style I don’t think it would hit as hard, something about it just feels right, overall awesome game and worth the money ;3 (Also for anyone stuck at the beginning with the tree, you have to be back a bit when you roll not right in front of it) ### 5/5 — Worth the $$$ *2025-03-05, version 1.321* Love love love this game , best game I have ever played on AppStore ### 5/5 — Classic *2025-02-17, version 1.321* Love this game as a devotee of all things Lovecraft this game is fantastic. It’s old school and beautifully references many of Lovecraft stories. ### 5/5 — Cooles Spiel mit schöner Pixelgrafik! *2024-09-03* Sehr kreatives Spiel, basiert auf den populären Lovecraft Horrorerzählungen. Läuft super flüssig auf meinem iPhone 13 Pro Max. Es ist mal was anderes, ein exotisches Spiel das riesigen Spaß macht. Es verdient deutlich mehr und sehr gute Bewertungen! ### 5/5 — Отлично *2024-08-31* Игра понравилась, советую. Но не могу не упомянуть управление - придётся привыкать, слишком уж своеобразно. Тяжеловато на первых порах. Графика отличная, боёвка интересная. Русский язык присутствует. Брал по скидке за 99 рублей. ### 5/5 — Can’t n’enleviez I waited this long to play this game *2024-07-18, version 1.321* Went way back into my library to find this. Never really had the time for it. Holly Molly!!! Exilent dose of culty/spooky ### 5/5 — Strange times *2024-04-03, version 1.321* This game is great. I love it. It's got an old-school feeling mythos of course lots of fun. I waste a lot of time at work playing this game which really works out well for me. ### 5/5 — 不可多得的好游戏！A great game! *2022-12-19* 有庞大的故事线等着你去探索！不管反复探索几遍都不会腻！唯一有些不满的是操作稍有不便。 The story line is wonderful！No matter how many times you explore it, it never gets bored! The only complaint is that the operation is a little inconvenient. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
