Unlike other fitness apps, the gameplay is actually entertaining! Most fitness “games” are so dull there is no motivation to actually play them. Monster Walk’s gameplay isn’t amazing, but it is just good enough to keep me coming back. Unfortunately, the app crashes a LOT! Collecting resources, assigning the active party, viewing newly captured monsters, and upgrading monsters all have a 50% chance of crash. Changing maps or viewing my base has a 50% chance of freezing. App startup is also slow, so each crash wastes a lot of time. Played on iPhone SE 2nd Generation The only bright side is the game also has a 50% chance of working as intended, so it is possible to progress. I’m still giving a positive review because if they fix all the crashing, the gameplay could make this the best fitness game in the app store. Walking steps earns energy to capture monsters, explore levels, and harvest resources for more exploration and base building. Combat is a mix of shoot-em-up and walking steps. Some monsters are easier to fight by shooting and others by walking. Choosing which captured monsters to assign to active party grants special attacks and combat bonuses/penalties depending on type of opponent. Special attacks are diverse, although not equally useful. During shoot-em-up gameplay, player avatar is hidden under player’s finger on screen, so is frustrating to see how close incoming hazards are. Should allow position offset for avatar so it doesn’t have to be hidden right under my thumb. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for sticking with the game despite the crashes. We’re really happy to hear that you’ve been enjoying the gameplay loop, combat, and monster systems, especially compared to other fitness games. We also truly appreciate you pointing out the issues you encountered on the iPhone SE 2nd Generation, including the crashes, freezes, slow startup times, and the visibility concern during combat. Feedback like this helps us a lot as we continue improving the experience and stability of the game. Thank you again for giving Monster Walk a chance and for supporting us with such thoughtful feedback. If you have any questions or feedback, contact us at help@talofagames.com. Have a great adventure! ### 3/5 — Cool game but … *2026-05-19, version 1.4.2* I have had many issues with bugs like loading things in or quests not being tracked correctly, even if I’m connected to WiFi. Maybe take an look into it ### 3/5 — Constantly crashing *2026-05-15* I really like the concept and art, the monster system is really fun! But the game is completely broken, I can’t move between the main stage and the daily stage without the game crashing. I can’t switch between the base and the game stage without crashing. I can’t build new buildings in the base without the game crashing. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback and for the kind words about the concept, art, and monster system! We’re really sorry about the crashes you’ve been experiencing. The team is currently investigating these issues so we can improve stability and make the experience smoother.

Have a great adventure! ### 3/5 — Great game, very buggy *2026-05-13, version 1.4.2* Hi there, love the concept of the game and general gameplay. However, whenever I go to upgrade a structure at the camp the game becomes unplayable - I can continue to navigate between the lower bar menu but I can’t move the character on the tile, can’t collect rewards. After a few minutes it becomes normal again but not before all the pop ups for the buttons I pressed during the few minutes suddenly appears…almost like a 3 to 5 minute lag. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — Almost there *2026-05-08* I like the game. I really do. It’s a great way to utilize my steps as a source of currency. My wife has to go on frequent walks and I’ve recommended this to her to make them more entertaining. Having said that, there is something wonky with the base. I am stuck on the hypnostriker level because I can’t get my base quest working at all. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. I’ve restarted. I’ve tried on and off WiFi. It shows the option to build or upgrade but just sits there when I click. And since those are tied into level progression, I’m stuck. I’m also losing steps every day because I can’t store them properly and I can’t progress to use them. This is on an iPhone 16 pro. Holding out hope for the next update to help. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and for recommending the game to your wife - that really means a lot to us! We’re sorry to hear you’re running into this issue with the base progression and losing steps because of it. We’ve shared this with the team and will continue investigating the problem. We’re hoping the upcoming update will address this and improve the experience overall. If you have any questions or feedback, contact us at help@talofagames.com. Have a great adventure! ### 3/5 — I like it, but it’s really wobbly *2026-04-26* I really really enjoyed the game that is the predecessor to this one, and I was very excited to try Monster Walk when it dropped last year. I think it is a super fun game, I love the idea, and it makes a huge difference in my daily step count. I really like all the features and changes that have been added in to this app compared to Where They Live. My only problem is I have had issues with this app working properly from the very beginning. Sometimes I delete it, wait an update or two, and come back. But I am still experiencing crashes and quite a few game breaking bugs, such as my vaults disappearing when trying to build or upgrade them, etc. Still a fan, still love the concept, but really hoping it becomes consistently playable soon. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sticking with us and for supporting both games - it really means a lot to our team. We’re happy to hear Monster Walk has been helping with your daily steps and that you’ve been enjoying the new features and overall concept. We’re also really sorry about the crashes and bugs you’ve been experiencing, especially the vault issues. Feedback like this helps us continue improving the game, and we’re actively working on making the experience more stable and consistently playable. If you have any questions or feedback, contact us at help@talofagames.com. Have a great adventure! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2026-03-30* Early on, it was fun. A bit light on plot, but fun. Now that I’m several stages and days in, the bugs are starting to show. Daily challenges do not reset (so once you clear them, that’s pretty much it); daily rewards don’t always double if you watch an add (the 14 day monster reward in particular); and increasingly things start bugging out. Trying to upgrade spots in the base, or even just harvesting them, can cause them to ‘disappear’. Which then means that overworld travel is likely to start bugging. To the point that closing the app and restarting is that only way to do anything. And then it happens again. And again. And again. What began as a fun game, I’m starting to regret playing. Hopefully the devs fix these issues soon. **Developer response:** Hi there! We really appreciate the detailed feedback. Could you please share some screenshots or a short video clip showing the issue you’re experiencing? This will help us understand the problem more clearly and allow us to provide you with the most accurate and efficient assistance. Feel free to reach out to us at help@talofagames.com. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Cute, but glitches *2026-03-28, version 1.4.1* Recently, moving to a new tile will not mark it as activated and the app freezes. I can usually fix it by closing it and opening the app again ### 4/5 — Kinda good *2026-03-27, version 1.4.1* I’m new and did not really get far into the game but so far it is great at the start it was kind of confusing to me but then it got easier. Overall good game ### 3/5 — Intrigued but Buggy *2026-03-03, version 1.3.3* Really wanted to like this game. Interesting and weird storyline but mostly I loved the steps as battle and as ways to move. But repeatedly froze and jumped around and restarted the app. ### 3/5 — Good idea but buggy *2026-02-26* I was really enjoying the idea of this game! Unfortunately, I have to delete because a bug wouldn’t let me progress. I’m stuck on saving the storm siren mission, except there is no storm siren to save. She is nowhere on the map, so I’m stuck and cannot progress. I think it may have bugged out when I ran away from a monster instead of fighting. The monster has not re-appeared since. If some bugs get fixed this would be a solid game! **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for playing Monster Walk! We noticed you ran into some issues while playing. Please feel free to reach out to us at help@talofagames.com. Your feedback helps us improve the game and make the experience better for everyone! ### 3/5 — Good game, not perfect. *2026-02-11, version 1.2.6* I like the concept and execution, but there's not enough stamina generated per day to enjoy playing. ### 3/5 — Needs work but fun *2026-02-02* the game is fun and the ideas are rare. i liked playing it because working in retail i get a ton of steps in. what really upset me was how much it kept crashing. it would make my phone freeze for awhile until the game just crashed. I’d gladly reinstall it once the crashing issues get fixed but until then it’s staying off of my phone. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the game, and we’re sorry for the crashes. Our team is actively working on a fix, and we’ll update you as soon as it’s resolved. If you have any questions or feedback, contact us at help@talofagames.com. ### 3/5 — Endearing but fix the bugs *2026-02-02* I love the art, music, the way you spend your steps. I’ve been recommending it to others but recently The load time is very long, the world isn’t loading in for 5 minutes. ### 3/5 — Fun but buggy *2026-01-31* I really really want to play this game more, but it freezes and glitches every 5 minutes AT MOST. I love the concept of this game, and I hope those bugs get fixed up so I, and many other people, can play without having to reload the app every 5 minutes. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for letting us know. Can you send a bug report through Settings → Submit Report in the game? That’ll include the logs so we can check what’s going on. Thanks so much for your time and for helping us improve Monster Walk! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lags *2026-05-27, version 1.4.2* I adore this game but it doesn’t always run smoothly, a lot of times I have to constantly swipe out of the game or it pretty much crashes and I can’t do anything besides go between pages I don’t know what’s happening with it but it is kinda annoying. ### 1/5 — doesn’t even open *2026-05-23, version 1.4.2* i just downloaded this game and it stays on the loading screen forever. it doesn’t even open. ### 1/5 — Never working *2026-02-19, version 1.3.0* I finished the campaign even through all the glitches and loading time and generally had fun but a glitch/bug erased all my progress and get nothing back. Not even basic things to play anymore. You simply cant play this game the way it’s supposed to. ### 1/5 — Can’t open app *2026-01-20, version 1.1.7* I would love to try this app, but it is frozen on the loading screen for me saying there is an update available. It then takes me back to the App Store in order to update it, where there is no new update available. And then takes me in circles. Please if the devs could help me! ### 1/5 — Terrible and Cheap *2025-12-11* Poorly designed copy of Pokemon Go which is already 8 years too late. I get that theyre trying to disguise monitoring the user base’s movement with a game but they could have at least spent some time animating the thing and come up with some new ideas rather than just copying space invaders and pokemon. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the experience and make the game more engaging, so your perspective is super valuable to us. If you have questions, please send us an e-mail at help@talofagames.com. ### 1/5 — requires you to give your personal info *2025-11-30, version 1.1.0* the game will nonstop popup permissions checklist every second when you say no. The gameplay itself should not require it if energy is replenished automatically. unplayable ### 2/5 — Hopelessly buggy *2026-04-02, version 1.4.2* I initially enjoyed the game, but it is now completely unplayable due to an ever increasing number of bugs. ### 2/5 — Janky *2026-01-17, version 1.1.7* Poor movement exploration system and freezing and crashing during battle on my iphone 15 ### 2/5 — Needs bug fixes *2026-01-14* I like this game, I really do. I have 100%ed it to the great blue wilds so far and havent gotten tired of it. With that being said, this game is VERY buggy. - Performance issues are just the tip of the iceberg. - Sometimes the player doesnt move when you teleport correctly. - I have changed tabs a few times only to come back to the game trying to give me a seizure. - Often I need to try opening the game multiple times to actually get in. - When in battles sometimes the game will just completely stop rendering whats happening. - I have had the game not count steps at all a few times. With that just being things I remember off the top of my head, I cannot currently recommend this game as it is. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your detailed feedback!

Thank you! ### 2/5 — Buggy mess *2026-01-05, version 1.1.5* Solid foundation, but everything else in it is lacking or not working properly. The base is very lacking in buildings and excessively large for no reason. Some upgrades, such as one that only increased the resource respawn rate instead of the capacity when we’re only at 100. People aren’t going to check every 50 minutes to grab resources. When choosing to chase a monster, it is almost ALWAYS not showing the correct amount of steps needed to catch them. And sometimes stops tracking steps in a chase if I choose to leave it in the background while I explore the maps. When fighting a monster, the app starts crashing and freezing now. This makes playing impossible or unpleasant. When teleporting across the map the monster will follow, but the character doesn’t follow. So when you try to move it shifts the camera way off. There is an annoying delay when upgrading monsters. Quest descriptions could be more specific and better. One main quest said to explore the map and didn’t specify the requirement was to explore a certain number of tiles. Even though later in the Big Blue Wilds there is a specific quest to explore tiles. And the quests link to the Rubiscan desert even though they are meant to be done in Big Blue Wilds. There needs to be a more concise map selector too, especially if you want people to go back to get the 10k steps monster and when there are more than 10 maps. A map % would be helpful too. What resources can be gained, what monsters remain, etc. This game wants to have people coming back daily, but lacks the proper systems for it (but has the proper microtransactions LMAO). Why are there no daily dungeons? Upgrading monsters beyond the first few levels cost WAY too much. There is no EXP monster to compensate for that, like a metal slime. Quite frankly, everything needs to be worked on ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game, just still a WIP *2026-05-08* I absolutely adore this game and its style. There are a lot of bugs that still need to be resolved, and it can be quite difficult to progress because things won’t load or appear, especially in the base segment, but I do like this game **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting the game! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Have a great adventure! ### 5/5 — Constantly Quits *2026-03-15, version 1.4.1* This game keeps quitting for no reason. Not seeing anyone else mention that here so maybe it’s just my phone?? Hoping it’s something about the game that can be fixed though. I want to keep playing because any game that can get me up off the couch to move irl is worth playing. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-13, version 1.4.0* Very addicting! My fav app right now ### 5/5 — Quite fun *2026-03-09* I don’t really think it copy pokemon go at all. An interesting game tho **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!

It won’t let me turn my phone off.. but other than that when it works it’s a very fun app and a very great idea for anybody looking for a fun way to start exercising. Worth the download.. ### 5/5 — Sweet and delightful *2026-01-17, version 1.1.7* I love that this game rewards getting outside and being active, and the monsters are so cute ### 5/5 — Gives purpose *2025-12-25* I originally was walking to lower my blood pressure but was always using so many excuses on why not to go on walks. Playing this as I was walking I noticed in my neighborhood that there was garbage all over my neighborhood so while I’m trying to earn steps to clear the fog in the game I’m taking steps to clear the garbage on the sidewalks in my neighborhood. The game is a lot of fun. The graphics I think looks rad. It reminds me of Pokemon but keeping it its own monsters at the same time. The music is alright. I have been playing for almost a whole day and I haven’t seen any bugs so far. I like that it has a story. It makes me want to walk more so I can see what’s next in the story line. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear the game is motivating you to walk and even helping improve your neighborhood at the same time. It's great to know you’re enjoying the graphics, story, and overall experience. Your support and observations really mean a lot. Happy walking and exploring the next parts of the story!
