### 5/5 — Classic Oregon Trail with a twist

*2025-11-14*

Classic Oregon Trail but the twist is that you get multiple wives when you accomplish your objective! Or at least that’s how I like to pretend! All serious: this game plays well and is well made. I even like the Mormon scripture and Jesus ending.

### 1/5 — Oregan trail

*2025-09-18*

Games is so low on pixels… game should be better with higher def… 1.99 does not worth it at all … I don’t even know what was I doing and the game end

### 5/5 — Simple, but Fun!

*2025-08-03*

Haven’t been able to complete the game yet, but it’s fun. It’s a simple game, not super fancy, but it doesn’t need to be in my opinion. It is pretty difficult though, particularly when you have to cross rivers. Still, I find it enjoyable enough, and I would recommend it!

### 3/5 — Good game but there’s a major bug

*2025-03-08*

It’s a really fun and good game but very near the end, it makes you get to a destination, then you don’t move and you keep going to the same destination, and you can’t press anything except reset. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.

### 3/5 — Not what it seems

*2025-02-25*

I thought it was fun at first but my score remained the same as it was when I first played it. Fording the river will kill everyone, and the list of supplies and options is short. It was okay the first time, just not the second and DEFINITELY not worth the money.

### 3/5 — Boooo religion

*2024-12-21*

Mormon trail? Rly? I was tired when I bought this apparently.

### 3/5 — The original game changed for iPhone

*2024-12-10*

This game is the original Oregon trail with all its simplistic and easy charm. However it lacks 2 key features

1. You cannot save your game so you have to play in one sitting lest you lose your progress

2. The game doesn’t record your scores which is a real shame as it removes much of the appeal of replaying. It gives you a score it just doesn’t remember them.

Also the game refuses to explain its mechanics to you, which removes much of the strategy.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly entertaining

*2024-12-01*

For less than $2, I was not expecting much. However, I found it to be as entertaining and challenging as the original Oregon Trail.

### 5/5 — Faithful adaptation

*2024-03-31*

This has all the nostalgia of the original. Rey impressive from a single dev. No bugs, no ads, no micrtransactions. Just a $2 trip down memory lane. Thanks, Joshua!

### 5/5 — Similar to original game.

*2023-11-29*

I grew up playing the original. This game is pretty close. I downloaded the other new Oregon Trail game and it was written by WOKE trash with the mental disorder that believes history can somehow be changed. It’s nice to take a trip down memory lane with this game and just enjoy a little challenge. In this version, my whole family died in the first 5 minutes. But, that is still much better than the WOKE trash from that other Oregon Trail game. Thank you to the developer for the hard work. I appreciate you sticking to the spirit in which the original game intended.
