Uninstalled

The game is a cool concept and I enjoyed the RPG aspect. However it’s very clunky and I had multiple issues trying to get my runs to sync with Strava/Health. If there was a free version I would have kept the app. It’s for the reasons stated above that I refuse to pay $100 a year. If they fine tune some things and rework the back end, I would consider reinstalling.

Hi paarnold. I appreciate you giving it a shot. Sadly we can't control the other apps syncing to Apple Health and Health Connect reliably, and that's where the majority of issues come from. That's why I added the in-app recording option. I understand the sync can be tricky to setup but if you send an email to support@pathbound.app I'd be happy to guide you. Either way, happy training! - Otang

Awesome, but pay to play

Le jeu est parfait, sauf que je ne veux pas payer pour utiliser l’application. Payer un prix d’application pour jouer ça me va, mais pas 100$/ annnée pour jouer à ce jeu.

Cash grab subscription game

Was looking forward to this game. It’s certainly a great concept and I like the retro pixel art style. I only played about 30 mins and logged in a few days later to have another go and was prompted to pay $100 a year or $15 per month. It’s a shame. Why do game devs think people want this?

Response from developer

Hi Jim thanks for trying the game. A lot of players are loving it, they compare it to a gym membership or a pair of shoes. If Pathbound gets you running just a few more times a week I hope it would be a great investment in your health. Happy training! - Otang

This game is perfect for runners.

This game is perfect for runners. Main reason is accountability. You run you can play. You don’t run you caaan play but you won’t want to because it would take to long to build of the stamina needed. Since I got this app I’m sneaking in extra run I wouldn’t normally do because I want to play. Big for motivation. You run and want a game that doesn’t take over your life but instead motivates you to get out and run? This is the game for you.

This app is worth it as it makes running have more incentive. The developer is very active in improving it.

Thanks a million, Stylian!

Running Made Fun

Pathbound is a really fun way to get back into running. Turning your real-life runs into points and progress makes staying active feel rewarding, while connecting with others adds even more motivation to keep moving and stay healthy.

Thank you very much, Kaashiee!!

Great potential

Saw this game pre launch and was very excited about it. First week I had it I ran more than I have in months, which was promptly halted by the high paywall. A one time purchase or lower monthly fee would even suffice but it’s just not worth the price. AAA games reserve the right to that kind of price tag, not something of this caliber. sad to go but appreciate the effort that went into the game. Revise the pay wall and you’ll get a lot more foot traffic 😜

Hi Guardian thank you for trying the game and I hope you keep up the running up even without Pathbound! - Otang

Way too expensive

Pathbound has a good concept: you run in real life to recover stamina, which you then use to battle in-game. Overall, it’s not a bad game, and it could genuinely help some people feel rewarded for going on their runs. The biggest problem is the price: charging $15/month for a fairly mediocre game with little that makes it stand out feels absurd.

Thanks for complimenting the concept and giving it a shot! Happy training. - Otang

Subscription got go

If this game doesn’t have a subscription to play, I’ll give it a 5-star rating. It’s not worth $5 a month, even Pokémon Go doesn’t require a subscription. 👎🏻

Subscription Too Pricey

I like the game a lot. The extra motivation to run is awesome. I just can’t bring myself to pay the subscription fee. 10 bucks a month, or (6 bucks if you want to pay annually). I would have been happy to pay a one time cost, or a cheaper subscription. But in a world where everyone wants to charge a subscription, I can’t justify this one. Sorry I don’t mean to be negative, I just wanted to give honest feedback.

Pay to play

The game requires a subscription to play after the free trials. Why would I pay $10 a month for a game that I barely can play 10-20min a day because it has a stamina system.

There are plenty of better option out there for free with similar gameplay.

Spend that money on a different game that allows you to play way more than a few minutes a day.

This game should be free with a “battle pass” subscription. This way more people would be in leaderboards.

Stay away from this game. It’s an absolute rip off for money vs play time.

Highlight of my run days

Watching this game grow through the beta was an exceptional experience. The dev listens to the community unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The gameplay is excellent, and the details like music, guilds, leaderboards, etc. make the game something I look forward to after every run.
