You guys rock!! Thanks for making great games!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game so pls update for ios11 pleeaassee *2017-11-08, version 1.3.1* Needs a major update so that it’s compatable with the new iOS 11 update like it honestly doesn’t work. Any ways thank you and please update ASAP thank you ### 5/5 — 64-bit support!! *2017-08-11, version 1.3.1* This is an awesome game and I love it. I would hate it if this game was gone I'm begging you guys please update this game it's my favorite of all of your games. Please. ### 5/5 — Top 10 free *2016-11-21, version 1.3.1* I am a heavy iPhone game tester use your player and this is one of my instant favorites. It is a flash clone of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the super Nintendo or genesis each character corresponds exactly to the animation tiles of the ninja turtles Donnie who was the best in the secret of use is also the best in this game he's the big hoping lumbering guy, he's range is out of control. Truly this game shines I have enjoyed it so much and I've already spent $.99 on getting more lives which I never, never do ### 5/5 — Does this game have phishhis *2016-06-24, version 1.3.1* I'm sitting there dying to bruticus in black castle in hard mode and I'm not even close to him and he still kills me ??? Plz fix! ### 5/5 — Make another one *2016-01-12, version 1.3.1* You guys should make another one because Blackmore wasn't that good but Maximus was awesome ### 5/5 — Storyline *2015-09-27, version 1.3.1* This is supposed to be before blackmoor. Also in blackmoor there are star wars references ravens attacks are street fighter references the evil ryu is raven notice the necklace in the hame and when he dies in multiplayer. The archer A.K.A maximus is ravens twin revealed in the end of Blackmoor. The guy in the blue and white striped pants is namless thats all i know plus raven is half dead and half alive ### 5/5 — Best game ever and sort of a copy *2015-08-29, version 1.3.1* The game has more bosses than blackmoor and i love that but the store is better than gambling and less avatars that made me sad and it took me so long to get gere I was at half way into the game but the bosses make up for all of it ### 5/5 — One of the best apps I've ever played *2014-08-15, version 1.3.1* Usually I'm not a big fan of these kinds of games but this game is great. Super fun,smooth controls,unique bosses and enemies. 5 stars for sure. ### 5/5 — MAXIMUS!! *2014-05-15, version 1.3.1* One of my favorite ios games really good. Besides a lack of items and graphics it makes up ### 5/5 — Great but just a copy really *2014-04-27, version 1.3.1* So the game is almost exactly like Blackmoor (another game they made before) except the gameplay is more like castle clashers. I feel that if the levels weren't unique, the game would be boring. But luckily, they did keep that from Blackmoor and almost all the levels are nothing like the last. I especially liked the ones where u rode the bear, the one where u have backup, and the one on the bridge. I also like how you need a different strategy to beat each boss. Sadly, the only good parts of the game were also in Blackmoor plus u can buy weapons in Blackmoor and there are more characters and roaming in Blackmoor. So if you only want to have one, get Blackmoor. It's just like this game but better. ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-04-27, version 1.3.1* I am very hard to please when it comes to games, but this one is amazing. If you have ever heard of Castle Crashers, it's kind of like that. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-03-23, version 1.3.1* I'm nit very far in this game but it is incredible! I don't really have anything bad to say about it. Keep adding cool stuff! ### 5/5 — Just like Dad and Me and Castle Crashers *2014-02-17, version 1.3.1* I love this game and it reminds me of the Xbox game castle crashers or the online game dad and me. A great beat em up game and I love the style, game play, idea, and controls. Although in updates you should include more levels and a mode to fight just bosses. And I hope that this game gets a shop. Thanks for making it. P.S you should add an co op mode for store and arena, and a versus mode to, and a D-Pad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Terrible controls *2023-01-16, version 2.1* I don’t know why but it’s hard to face left when attacking, only wants to face right. Had to delete cause it was very annoying. Hopefully they could fix that. ### 3/5 — Good but annoying *2019-10-20, version 2.0* This game is quite fun with fluent combat mechanics. However, the fact that you can’t just get points to spend on skills every level, is highly annoying. This is forcing me and other players to grind up tons of coins only to die again and grind more. The music doesn’t come out clean, I can literally hear static and distortion in all of it. You also have to pay real money to get grey swords to resurrect yourself, instead of just getting some with gold. ### 3/5 — BOSSvBOSS *2019-03-11, version 2.0* Do not play that game mode the A.Is that should win play dumb and sit in corners and also jump right into a attack..Whoever designed the attacks and defense for this game mode made it completely different from the story! ### 3/5 — In-app scam? *2013-12-27, version 1.3.1* I love this game, but I recently bought the new double-coins InAppPurchase, and it said it was completed. Still, nothing happened. I don't get 2x coins and it keeps making me restore it... Please fix. ### 4/5 — Wow *2021-03-07, version 2.1* I would just like to say (spoilers) I played through the whole game in ga,er mode and got the end it made me super mad after all that time and effort it was just a misunderstanding and then you call me crazy after I’m sad :( ### 4/5 — Decent game, Poor controls *2020-03-14, version 2.1* Found while searching games like Wonderblade. the movement controls were very inconsistent. ### 4/5 — Awsome Game but... *2016-06-12, version 1.3.1* Don't get me wrong this is a amazing game. However the developers have to find a better health system. You lose health way too fast and the only way to replenish it is to find the little chunks of meat that there are next to none of. But other than that it's an amazing game. ### 4/5 — Great game but on iphone 4 *2013-10-21, version 1.3.1* There is constant frame rate stuttering I like the fast paced gameplay but with the chugging along it gets a little sad that I can't enjoy it fully :( overall I'll keep playing it due to how fun it is :D ### 4/5 — Lives *2013-08-13, version 1.3.1* Great game but if you could make it so you can buy them with gold that'd be awesome also there's a glitch with the mines level I beat it but I can't move on ### 5/5 — Spin off of castle crashes and I love it *2022-04-27, version 2.1* Honestly is just a super fun quick game that’s like the og cc game we all know and love. I’m having a blast and it’s not brain dead easy like %99 of all others mobile games. Well done boys. You out did yourselves ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fix the upside down angle on iPhone 11 *2022-03-19, version 2.1* I have some trouble with I love the game they need to fix the upside down camera angle and and make the bosses and enemies a bit more easier and fix the controls because is the problem I’m having with game I love this game but they to these problems ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-02-20, version 2.1* Its just like castle crashers, i played this game years ago on an old iphone4 its still great and im much better at it now, its a quick play and dont complain about graphics, this game is not about graphics, its animated as it was meant to be and the game is actually about whooping a**!!!! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2022-02-13, version 2.1* I have had this game for about 3 months and I love it I constantly play it whenever I can. I have noticed a glitch that if you get hit at the same time you use the charge move or the + it might make you just lose the charge and not attack but that is unimportant because I still like this game. ### 5/5 — Terrible *2020-12-30, version 2.1* I only chose five stars for this to be noticed. You can’t hardly move and it is highly inappropriate for my nine year old so please don’t get this it’s not a good game. I used to play castle crashes on the ps3 but this is not like it at all! ### 5/5 — Hey REALLY good game but a LOT like castle crashers but I don’t see mobile *2019-05-04, version 2.0* I love castle crashers so I got this game but you could make a tweak of new abilities ### 5/5 — Cool game *2019-04-07, version 2.0* This is an Awesome game I just have one little problem with it does not rotate completely so I can play what ever ,but I grab it to play and the screen it was up side down most games completely rotate on tablets thanks for listening to my small game problem ### 5/5 — Good Game, but read this whole thing *2018-11-30, version 2.0* Ok everything seems good, but there are a lot of tweaks that would make it so much better. The graphics could be better and so could the animations. And I know this is basically a copy of castle crashers, but that’s ok because I don’t see mobile castle crashers on the App Store? Anyways it’s not a total copy, this game still has some of their own ideas. For example, characters, bosses, and things like that. The gameplay, leveling up, and backgrounds are a copy or either very similar to castle crashers. Hey but what can I say, they actually did a great job. If i made a game it would not be near this good, and besides I play the games, not make them. Thank you if you read this whole thing, and if the developers read this, please don’t think I’m hating on your game because it’s actually great! NOW I CAN PLAY MOBILE CASTLE CRASHERS!! Thanks mooff games! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2018-10-05, version 2.0* This game is great. This is kinda cliche but it could use a shop. And maybe more powers. Otherwise no problems. ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-01-05, version 2.0* It’s not boring or tedious. It’s fun and you can grind away without paying which is cool too. Kind of feel bad for the developers if they aren’t making any money off of this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
