### 5/5 — Dying for a sequel

*2023-03-04*

I'd pay $50

### 5/5 — Garriott, Ultima, Lowlander

*2023-01-15, version 1.3.2*

Both of the Lowlander games are excellent! Reminiscent of Ultima 3 and games from 1980’s, but current for today, these games  are a blast. Puzzles that drive you crazy and then suddenly seem so obvious!  Well worth the diminutive price. Love these games!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-08-25, version 1.3.2*

What an awesome game, so fun and brings back so many great childhood memories of adventure and exploration!

### 5/5 — Just as much fun as Ultima

*2021-07-13, version 1.3.2*

After getting used to a few of the mechanics(no diagonal attacks, have to wait a while between sleeps to add hit points  from sleeping in a bed) and learning to love a bit of grinding to get a higher level character, I’m enjoying this title as much as I enjoyed the Ultima series (I-V, I lost interest when they changed format).  It’s great that it’s on my phone, now I look forward to waiting for my flight/uber/girlfriend to arrive!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-12-24*

If you are looking for a game like Ultima 2/3, this and Lowlander are for you! The developer is also very involved in the thread for the game.  You just do not see that! I wish there were more games like this,  but it would be bad for me.  I would probably not be married if there were!  Kudos to the developer!
The game itself is very detailed.  The world is large and the quests are many. If you have some time to get involved in a game,  pick this up,  make sure your fridge is stocked and start playing...

### 5/5 — Fantastic throwback!

*2020-07-11, version 1.3.2*

For a fan of the Ultima series, this was the perfect game! Just challenging enough to keep me interested, but easy enough to beat without needing a walkthrough. 

Please make another! I'll pay!

### 5/5 — Awesome but I'm stuck :(

*2020-06-30, version 1.3.2*

For the life of me I can't get past jorge in castle shebastion! I wonder if it's glitching...sprite at the top of the castle says you can bribe the NE guard but I haven't been able to figure that out either...please help!

### 5/5 — Great tribute to Ultima III

*2020-01-21, version 1.3.2*

I have great memories of playing Ultima III on my Commodore 64 back in high school, and this game does an amazing job of recreating that experience.  Truth be told, it’s actually much better but I don’t mean any disrespect to Lord British.  Loved it, and highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Better than the original Ultimas

*2019-12-13, version 1.3.2*

This adds more quests, with the result being that it is more challenging than the first.  Another well balanced game where the challenges/food/money/weapons/mana all have to be watched closely, but not to the point of dying all the time.   

Lots of cultural references.  
Lots of quests.
No bugs.
Multiple save slots
Lots of fun.  

Better than the original Ultimas!

### 5/5 — Superb, humorous, lots of story lines

*2019-10-14, version 1.3.2*

For anyone who likes RPGs this game is the real deal. Fun for a few minutes at a time or for extended times when you just have to solve that next quest. 

Well done!!

### 5/5 — Omg, love it

*2019-08-01, version 1.3.2*

I had been looking for an Ultima-like game ever since the app was removed from the store.  I absolutely love the this game.  Although I’ve just started playing it today, i’ve already logged in 3 hours of game play.  The creative use of ultima combined with novel characters and a complex series of story lines is making for exciting play.  Worth the money for sure

### 5/5 — Not an early Ultima game, but it should be.

*2019-07-19, version 1.3.2*

I had been looking for an Ultima-style RPG like this one for a while and I’m glad I found Lowlander and now this game, Lowlander II.

It is a truly entertaining, addictive, and multi-layered game that will keep one playing and never become bored. There are new surprises in every town, castle and dungeon and the people in the towns are hilarious. I cannot recommend this game enough. 

In your quest and multiple mini-quests, you discover improved modes of travel as you fight enemies (human, beast and inhuman), keep up with your food supply, upgrade your weapons and armor and discover the means by which to finish the game. Yes, there is an end, but I wish there was not one. 

All mini-quests are logged so you will not have to try to remember who to contact in which town, etc. 

There was an error message in my game but the developer, himself, kindly fixed my game and sent it back to me. There is even a “Contact Developer” button in the options screen. 

Will there be a sequel? When you play this game, you will only hope so.

### 5/5 — In loving memory of Ultima

*2019-06-10, version 1.3.2*

Plowed through and just finished both Lowlander and Lowlander 2. The developer did an amazing job and is very responsive to his community. Whether you played the original Ultima’s or not I highly recommend both of these games.

### 5/5 — Amazing game, perfect timewaster

*2019-03-23, version 1.3.2*

This game might look pretty rough on the outside, but it is a well crafted game that can take countless hours off your hands. The story took me days upon days to complete, and all the quests in between were intriguing  and some were actually pretty funny. There are many references and secrets here and there, and I’ve only ran into a one or two bugs.

### 5/5 — Most fun I’ve had with a game in a while!

*2019-01-26, version 1.3.2*

Glad I am finished, because playing this took all my time for the last few weeks!

Outstanding. If you played older adventure games like Ultimata this will be right up your alley.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-01-17, version 1.3.2*

Great gameplay. The combat works and scales well. I have not come across any bugs. I keep coming back to play. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Worth 3 dollars

*2019-01-02, version 1.2.9*

Game delivers on everything it promises. The dev is incredibly responsive and kind. Only iPhone game I’ve played all the way through (about 17 hours of content).

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Insta-killed by a dialog choice

*2026-04-13, version 1.4.1*

Played same character for days. 
Built my character up to wander 6 dungeons without having to visit a town.
Made a choice not to kneel and was insta-killed. No chance to run or fight.
Time for the app to be installed-deleted for wasting my time.

### 2/5 — Too repetitive

*2017-06-18, version 1.0.6*

Enjoyed the first...played this for a few hours, and if gets very samey without too much in the way of upgrades. In particular the stealth part in the castle is a nice idea, but after doing the same thing for a couple of hours I must say the penalties do not fit. Bored already.

### 3/5 — Really fun

*2019-09-09, version 1.3.2*

Really good mechanics. Bad part im stuck with nowhere to go and i cant get my ship. I cant give more stars because currently my save is unbeatable. Im not sure if the ship im supposed to get bugged out or if I’m missing something but i have been everywhere and talked to everyone. Ive spent two days searching for the ship and still have no leads.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable old-school rpg

*2020-12-27*

As the description notes, this is a homage to the early Ultima games. Plays smoothly, with minimal grind or wandering around aimlessly. Sadly no real replay value or variation in character build, but you can't have everything.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2017-07-19, version 1.2.3*

Lowerlander is a love letter to the old days of Ultima. It has all the old quirks of old-school RPGs, but enough modern references to make any millennial chuckle to themselves. The only suggestion I could make is have an endgame randomized dungeon just for some extra replayability. However, the most recent update has caused the boot screen to be wayy too zoomed in, and for some reason the game has frame rate issues on a 5s when before the game had no frame rate issues at all. Besides that, I'd definitely recommend this to old-school RPG fans and newer RPG fans alike.

### 4/5 — Great

*2017-06-25, version 1.1.0*

The game is fun and interesting but the walking sound gets annoying very quickly and the game seems to be glitched since it won't let me finish the baby dungeon quest.

### 4/5 — Great Ultima/Dragon Warrior game

*2017-06-21, version 1.0.9*

Thoroughly enjoying this game about ten hours in. Lots of places to explore. Don't need to play the first game to enjoy this. 

Docking a star for now for it crashing every time I switch apps with the new version. For a game where you can lose a lot in a crash, that's a bummer. Hoping that's cleared up so I can go up to the five it deserves.

### 5/5 — Ultimately brilliant

*2026-04-27, version 1.4.1*

Have played 1 and ][ a few times. Hope there will be a ///

### 5/5 — Bravo!

*2026-03-22, version 1.4.1*

Thank you!  I was obsessed with these games as a boy and this really scratched the itch of a lifetime.  I loved these!  My only real complaint with this game is that it’s so good that it makes all other games seem disappointing.  And since I have already completed it, I can only wait for Lowlander III and remain disappointed with all other games.  More please!!!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2026-03-18, version 1.4.1*

Fun mini retro adventure. Am loving it. Definitely an improvement over the first one ( the first one is good though ). Would like to be able to get more clues/hints. Would be good to have a link to a faq or forum for this in the game.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-12-25, version 1.4.1*

### 5/5 — Le to- pour les van de Ultimate 2 etc…

*2025-08-15*

Le meilleur rpg old school.un hommage aux meilleurs titres de Lord British. MAis un jeu avec ça propre personnalité.tres agréable a jouer et avec de l humour en plus.

### 5/5 — although the graphics are low bit, your imagination is unlimited. This game enables your imagination

*2024-10-19, version 1.3.2*

A few things: if you haven’t played Lowlander 1, finish that first.

If you have played Lowlander 1, this game is a worthy sequel. You will need to bring your own background music though!

I am shocked that I was able to beat the game without a walkthrough, but I did need a few hints.  It’s a good game balance in action.  The level of story is very good.  Very relaxing and engaging game to play with one thumb!  This isn’t a cheap casual game. This is a AAA mobile retro game.  It’s not a rouge with randomly generated levels. It’s a true beautifully crafted map and adventure.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-10-14, version 1.3.2*

Nothing too long winded, great game. Was sick in bed and had played the first one, oldschool ultima feel but more modern and simplified progression. Think I clocked in about 13 hours to finish and enjoyed it all the way.

### 5/5 — Stealth mission tip

*2023-12-04, version 1.3.2*

PSA: You don’t have to do the Shebastian stealth mission all in one go. If you have the spell Wisk, you can get yourself out of a jam, and you’ll get to keep any progress you made in the stealth mission (so long as you remember to save).

### 5/5 — WHERE IS LOWESTLANDER

*2023-05-02, version 1.3.2*

THIS GAME IS AWESOME
