I’d rather buy it than pay subscription. ### 1/5 — How the Mighty Have Fallen… *2026-02-28, version 1.1.2* Half brick, you guys made fruit ninja and jetpack joyride to name a few, two absolutely legendary cult classic video games that still have massive followings. I remember playing the “lite” versions of those two games along with nimble quest and BEGGING my parents to pay the $3 for the full game. Now I come back after over a decade to relive some of the nostalgia I had playing nimble quest, only to see you participating in the corporate overlord “you will own nothing and be happy” subscription slip trend. Really, halfbrick? One hour of free play time of a game that came out over a decade ago? You’re not my mom. Just bring back the lnetime$3 purchase. Heck, I’d pay eight bucks for this game. I just want to own it and not have to scramble to cancel yet another subscription that I’d forget about. It’s absolute pathetic seeing you tout your old reputation to try and desperately get people to subscribe to play ancient games that you made. Honestly revolving. ### 1/5 — Not playable in this state *2026-02-20, version 1.1.2* Was really excited to see it is available again, however, somehow this Version is super buggy. Enemies move way to fast, Heroes do not attack, further i have not found since i can not pass even the first round. Hope they fix this fast ### 2/5 — Why are we paying for it now *2026-02-19, version 1.1.2* Bringing back a game just to make it pay to PLAY is crazy. This game used to be so good and now youre just being greedy. Im not gonna pay just to play a free game that i used to be able to play unlimited for free. Get rid of it ### 1/5 — Shame on you *2026-02-15, version 1.1.2* I used to love this game. Now they gave you a chance to play 1h without paying a subscription. If you do so, heroes don’t attack a game is not playable. Shame on you I will never pay starting from this conditions ### 1/5 — Garbage company decisions *2026-02-03, version 1.1.2* Leave it to a big company to buy out licensing from something that was good years ago to then only put an easy paywall behind full access just to make easy money. This is how the rich get richer by exploiting their position and doing whatever they want. This game was amazing back in the day. But now being owned by Halfbrick and being required to pay to play has ruined everything for this game. ### 1/5 — this game was free when it first came out *2025-12-23, version 1.1.2* forcing monthly subscription for a bunch of mobile games is crazy ### 1/5 — Simply Unacceptable *2025-12-22, version 1.1.2* I’ve nothing to say other than what other reviewers’ve said already. Bringing a free game back without improvements and putting it behind a subscription is disgraceful, full stop. ### 1/5 — No way *2025-12-13, version 1.1.2* It’s shocking that I have to pay a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION for a game I paid full price for already. I hope you all get replaced by AI ### 1/5 — Destrozajuegos *2025-12-12, version 1.1.2* Jugué a la versión original y era genial, ahora no se puede pasar de la primera pantalla. Han destrozado el juego. ### 1/5 — Bs monthly payment *2025-12-04, version 1.1.2* Pretty much the same review as everyone else. Was happy to see a childhood game back on the App Store. Completely killed my joy when I realized I had to pay 3 bucks a month. Probably would’ve bought it for a 3$ one time purchase just for the nostalgia but it’s not even worth paying the 3$ just to have it for a month. If this is fixed I will change my review back to 5 stars as the original, non paid, nimble quest should be rated. ### 1/5 — Locked behind a subscription *2025-11-25, version 1.1.2* Was really excited to find this game back in the App Store. Would gladly pay a one time fee to play it. Really disappointing that half brick locked it behind a subscription service. ### 1/5 — Jogo não funciona corretamente *2025-10-21, version 1.1.2* Ruim ### 1/5 — Halfbrick really? *2025-10-20, version 1.1.2* Owned this previously. Now halfbrick after a hour wants you to pay for a subscription. Seriously? Hope the money was worth it because you just lost a customer! ### 1/5 — não funciona *2025-10-14, version 1.1.2* não atacam ### 1/5 — Стыд и позор! *2025-10-12* Я увидел старую игру в которую когда-то играл и так захотел повторить опыт прошлого, но не вышло. Когда заходишь в игру тебе просто предлагают купить подписку что бы в неё играть , это уже невероятно странно и мерзко….мы проглотим главное это воспоминания. Заходишь в игру начинаешь играть за мага (мой любимый персонаж) и оказывается что я не могу попасть в цель , хотя игра настроена так что она навидаться автоматически… Стрелок , лучник , маг, все эти герои не могу нормально играть ибо они стреляют сразу 10тью зарядами игра зависает и идет звук будто я одновременно выстрелил много раз. Так в целом можно играть если приловчиться, просто таким образом игрок стреляет очень криво , но сильно.. но вот когда доходишь до уровня там где играешь против магов, тут и начинаться веселье) Твои враги также стреляют по многу с нарядов из-за бага и в тебя летят сразу 4/5 огненных шаров одной колоной и ты сразу уминаешь !) Самое тупое что еще и нужно заплатить за игру , что бы поиграть в неё , но когда она была бесплатной такого бага не было )) Куда катиться этот мир…. ### 1/5 — Subscription Wall *2025-10-10, version 1.1.2* Terrible because of the subscription wall, this game used to be amazing and half brick brought it back to try and cash in on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greedbrick+ *2026-08-13, version 1.1.2* Please just put a one-time purchase for the game or better yet make it free ### 1/5 — Bugged *2026-07-08, version 1.1.2* No sirve ningún heroe ataca, era de mis juegos favoritos ### 1/5 — Greedy developers *2026-07-02, version 1.1.2* Used to play this game as a kid and saw it was back on the App Store but they make you pay a subscription to play it you only get one hour for free should be illegal to do this never gonna fall for your scams ### 1/5 — Get rid of the paywall *2026-06-14, version 1.1.2* Great game, not getting a subscription for it. ### 1/5 — Greediness *2026-06-09, version 1.1.2* Pay to win. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-04-20, version 1.1.2* The same game I loved playing more than 10 years ago, but now I can’t just outright play it. Extremely unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Heartbreaking *2026-03-31, version 1.1.2* This used to be my favorite game growing up. When I browsed the App Store and saw it two days ago I was honestly ecstatic. I then read the reviews to only get disappointed. The hour of free gameplay was so much fun and just a great bit of nostalgia for me. But it just isn’t worth getting Halfbrick+. It’s just purely annoying. ### 1/5 — Que desastre !!! *2026-03-30, version 1.1.2* El original de Nimblebit funcionaba mucho mejor, y encima este es de pago cuando llevas un rato jugando. Mejor descargar la apk original y jugar con un Android. ### 1/5 — Used to be my favorite mobile game *2026-03-30, version 1.1.2* Such a good game but this new subscription service has killed what used to be my favorite past time. How do you change this game to monthly subscription to even play?? Who is paying for that. I want to know who so I can personally talk with them. ### 1/5 — Porque una suscripción? *2026-03-04, version 1.1.2* En verdad no había necesidad de ello, como mas gente lo menciona, es mejor que el juego sea de un pago unico, la verdad es lamentable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Disappointing *2026-04-25, version 1.1.2* Only reason I rated this a 5 star is because It hold a special place in my child hood. I hate how it’s now pay to play and most definitely isn’t work the money there asking for, but it was nice to play it again after searching for it for years. I hope they release it for free it’s a smaller game with smaller player base there is no need to hide it behind a subscription seems abit excessive. Really disappointed that I won’t be able to play this beloved childhood game since it is trapped behind a subscription but I’m glad I finally got to play it after many years so thankyou for that. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2025-10-24, version 1.1.2* BUT WISH IT WAS FREE THO ### 5/5 — plss have mercy🥀🥀🥀 *2025-03-18, version 1.1.2* this game was literally my childhood i had this on my ipad years ago and when the removed it i was so sad its been years and i still try to see if theres any updates then i found this and its perfect its exactly how I remember it but I literally had 1 hour of happiness please atleast 1.99 a year or something this game WAS free but i cant just give it a bad review because the gameplay is literally perfect i would feel so bad lol but i wish there was seriously a better alternative ### 5/5 — Horrray! *2024-12-11* It’s back! Just like in the good old days… ### 5/5 — Too hard to progress *2024-10-04* Good enough of a game for something you bought, but you can tell it needs ads to function. You need coins for any kind of bonus, but they are incredibly rare to find and way too expensive to buy whenever you want a power up. After an hour of playing, I only have 13, which is not enough. There isn’t really a good way to get around this without just having a setting allowing you watch an add for a coin, so it isn’t obtrusive but it’s still a thing. ### 4/5 — Requires subscription to play. *2025-12-17, version 1.1.2* This game is old and has recently came back to the app store. This game now requires a $2.99/month subscription to be playable. This is similar to EA play on the computer. This is the future of games I think chat? ### 4/5 — Fantasy style Snake *2025-01-29, version 1.1.2* Nimble Quest puts a fantasy style onto the classic game of Snake. It’s a wonderful little game. One day it was taken off of the App Store, and all of a sudden all these years later, I saw it on here recently, under HalfBrick. Even if it’s been revived under a subscription service, it’s still a fun slice of mobile gaming. A vast majority of HalfBrick’s games are free games, so it makes sense they’d make a subscription service to help put some cash in the bag to keep these games running, and their heads afloat. ### 3/5 — Should be a one time charge *2025-09-29, version 1.1.2* Great game but don’t need subscription. Should be a sale for ownership. ### 3/5 — 創新結合貪食蛇+RPG *2024-11-16, version 1.1.2* 但月費制度有點貴,就算是包含旗下遊戲,但又不是每個都有興趣玩,建議改買斷制會更好 ### 3/5 — Not Free anymore.. *2024-10-08, version 1.1.2* This game i grinded back in 2012/2013 era. They really should make it free again smh --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
