It’s like it was vibe coded in 2 hours, trying to navigate it is like trying to reason with a 1 year old ### 2/5 — Backwards new player strategy *2026-04-10, version 3.0.3* A note to the developer. A demo if one exists should contain a good hook to make someone want to continue playing and buy the full game. This demo contains some of the most basic and boring idle gameplay that exists. No animations, no strategic depth. 24hr idle limit for no good reason to the player. If there’s a good game buried in here I’d never know. I gave it a good try to enjoy but it just gave me no reason to come back. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-03-02, version 3.0.3* I wish the UI wasn’t so convoluted. It’s hard to parse what is happening. There are buttons and colors everywhere it seems like. ### 2/5 — Falha *2026-02-08* Assim que paguei pela versão completa, o aplicativo não inicia mais. ### 1/5 — Sorry but it doesn’t work *2026-01-03* White screen or playfab undefined error, or endless load. ### 5/5 — Weird reviews *2025-12-31, version 3.0.3* Mobile brain rotted people for some reason can’t accept a game that you pay for once with a few dlcs is a good product. Just so weird. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2025-11-14, version 3.0.3* Looks like it could be a fun in depth idle game. But UI is very bad. In game banner pop ups pop up that can’t be swiped away and temporarily block navigation. Buying certain skills doesn’t work quite often where i’ve have to open and close a window over a dozen times to buy the skill multiple times. Clicking ok for acknowledging offline earnings doesn’t always work and requires force closing the app. I have lots of games on an Iphone 14 and never had any issues like this ### 1/5 — Incredibly frustrating *2025-11-10, version 3.0.3* I cannot play this game. The UI/UX is awful. The game is essentially a poorly designed website wrapped inside an app. The content and mechanics are there. The experience is horrific though. ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2025-10-30, version 3.0.3* I expect more from Jagex, honestly. Charging people for the base game and multiple expansions for a text-based game is insane. The price is already up to almost the price of an actual title game that has much more development into it. And the have the nerve to market their expansions with wording like “packed with extra content.” What content? Some text on the screen? Get real, Jagex. ### 1/5 — Love the game, but… *2025-10-25, version 3.0.3* I love this game and bought all the expansions. However, there are massive issues with the latest iOS when it comes to being able to press buttons and tap things and even after opening GitHub bug reports they go unaddressed for far too long. The developers don’t even seem to acknowledge or respond to those bug reports. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great until it stopped working *2026-08-13, version 3.0.3* This game is honestly all the best parts of OSRS. It’s a perfect time waster. Really sucks all that progress was for nothing, app only opens to a white screen now and nothing seems to fix that issue. $10 gone ### 1/5 — How is this a game? *2026-07-26, version 3.0.3* Bro I’m really trying to grasp what this game is about. First of all, it looks more like a website with the sloppiest UI ever. You think a tab is just gonna give u a simple “break wood” but there’s a whole 2 pages that you have to scroll to see what you can do with wood. It’s like that for every tab. Want to fish? You have to read every fine print just to finally see the “fish” button. And for some reason you can only do one task at a time? Why can’t I cut wood and fish at the same time, it’s an idler… there’s no reason to buy a premium version of this because I can’t even grasp what the game is since the tutorial is extremely vague. By the very list add animations to show you are getting wood, fish, ores, etc. it’s the tiniest progress bar at the top of the page for u to see what u have. Do better developers. ### 1/5 — Just a cash grab *2026-07-18, version 3.0.3* Maybe put it in the title of your game that it’s a demo and you have to pay for the full game. ### 1/5 — Bugperson Slop *2026-07-03, version 3.0.3* Dude with a “game” like this based on such a simple bug-brained gameplay loop at least make the software enjoyable to look at and intuitive to use. ### 1/5 — Greedy Devs *2026-05-30, version 3.0.3* This game used to be free with a one off paid expansion pass for new “content” Now it is $30, I can get stardew valley for that…. For an idle game this is greedy af. ### 1/5 — Fails to Load Offline *2026-05-14, version 3.0.3* Bought the game, never loads from white screen when offline. Deal-breaker. ### 1/5 — Bs you can’t use *2026-02-18, version 3.0.3* We’ll give you the ability to craft and loot a fair bit of paid content, but you can’t actually use the things until you buy the game ### 1/5 — White screen on launch *2026-02-06, version 3.0.3* Wanted to come back to this game after a year off, and just a white screen on launch. iPhone 16 pro max. Tried uninstalling too. ### 1/5 — Нулевая игра *2026-01-23* Захожу половина картинок знак вопроса, думал глюк решил перезайти на зашло, еще раз та же история, в общем дольше скачивал чем играл ### 1/5 — Не работает. *2026-01-22* Шляпа еб*на на запускается. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best idle rpg game *2026-08-09, version 3.0.3* Wish it had marketplace or something like that tho ### 5/5 — ITS GOOD *2026-07-04, version 3.0.3* ITS GOOD ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-22, version 3.0.3* Good little afk progression time killer ### 5/5 — Extremely fun *2026-06-01, version 3.0.3* In a busy life balancing family and work this game fits perfectly in between. I loved runescape since i was 11 and this brings up so many memouries. ### 5/5 — . *2026-05-22, version 3.0.3* Love the actual game and it’s probably the best idle game. But for me all the features and stuff where just confusing to get too ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-05-18, version 3.0.3* Really addicting idle game. Recommend it! ### 5/5 — It’s RuneScape *2026-04-29, version 3.0.3* It’s literally RuneScape without all the running around. It’s also way more in depth. Been playing on PC since early access and before it was on steam. Amazing game for those of us who love watching numbers go up. ### 5/5 — Great idle game for a busy doctor *2026-03-19, version 3.0.3* I’m a doctor and this is such an easy pick up and go game. Thank you Jagex! ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-02-26, version 3.0.3* This game is awesome. The only thing i could think to make it better would be battle scenes with simple sprites and attack animations. (Like the old pokemon games). That would be amazing. Game is fantastic as-is though. ### 5/5 — Shockingly Good *2026-02-09, version 3.0.3* I’ve never liked idle games before, but this actually feels like a real RPG. What really got me was the built in mod integration. BUILT-IN MOD INTEGRATION!! I never would have even thought that I’d want it, but now that I’ve experienced it, why doesn’t every ios game do that?? Thank you very much to the devs for creating this masterpiece, and thank you oh so much for making the full version a one-time payment! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
