### 1/5 — This game is broken.

*2022-06-17, version 1.5.3*

Apparently the game will lose huge parts of your home island randomly. I had hundreds of hours spent building on adventure mode, all lost. It did it twice. The first time when I returned home, everything on the island that wasn’t a block was gone. That included chests full of items accumulated, all house furnishings, everything. I decided to keep going, I eventually got everything back together (not to the extent it was) and kept playing. Three weeks later, returned home, half the island including my house and everything around it was gone. Poof. This game has NO business being in the App Store like this. If they’re not going to support it and fix these fatal errors, they need to take it down. Instead they leave it up and keep charging money for it, knowing full well this happens. Horrible, horrible company. Don’t waste you time and effort on this. 
Shame on you 505.

### 5/5 — Loveee this game!

*2020-11-19, version 1.5.3*

I played Portal Knights on my ps 4 and got as far as a could and discovered that it’s an app too! I was very excited when I discovered that it had different quests and missions with some similarities. This game is very well made and was worth every cent but of course it has glitched on me and I have lost everything before it has been devastating. I have pretty much come as far as I could on this game I wish there were more updates on it for example I wish there was an island with bamboo. Also my trophies of the watcher monster has been glitching on me and I can’t put it anywhere. But again it is an app and it’s going to do stuff like that but this is honestly my favorite game!

### 2/5 — I need help horrible glitch

*2020-03-28, version 1.5.3*

I was just casually playing and I had a chest room made on port of caul when I decided to make a room for mannequins and armor and stuff on the first island I forgot the name of but when I came back, ONLY ONE COLUMN OF CHESTS WERE LEFT when I had 3 rows and 4 chests each in a stair design going up and 3 columns of those were COMPLETELY MISSING and I don’t know what to do because now I’m stuck with only a bunch of chests full of freaking MICE AND FROGS and everything else just went missing that was about 102 hours of work and gameplay completely destroyed I’m honestly just thinking of quitting the game entirely which is sad because it was such an amazing game but I would have to completely reset and start from scratch otherwise😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭any help is appreciated please pk devs, please see this

### 4/5 — A hidden gem of crafting style games, albeit neglected on mobile

*2020-02-28, version 1.5.3*

This is an amazing game that I have been able to enjoy with friends and solo as well. If you like Minecraft, but were wanting something that leans more towards the adventure aspects (although the crafting is great too!) then this is the game for you. Playing coop with my friends has been one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

Just keep in mind that the mobile version has not been updated in a while. If you want the absolute best Portal Knights experience, with expansions and all, then you should get the version on PC/Consoles. The switch version is especially easier control wise (with the touch screen inventory management and all), while PC and PS4 will have slightly better graphics.

All in all, this is a classic of the genre and is criminally underrated. A classic in my book for sure.

### 2/5 — Fantastic, but..

*2019-08-06, version 1.5.3*

I truly enjoyed the pc version and was excited to see this game in the App Store. Being able to play a sandbox game on the go with my phone sounded like a sweet idea. After playing for a bit, the game drove me nearly insane with one simple issue. 
The flick evade controls are horrible. Simply trying to step to the side to place the next block shouldn’t send me diving off a cliff (in more ways than one). 
Please add an option to have an evade button near the A&B buttons. It is unbelievably frustrating to build on a pixelated tight rope, only to dash off your platform to your death. Even in creative mode, it is near impossible to build anything without rolling all over the place. (Yes, even though you can fly I still find myself rolling half the time by nicking a surface) 
If it weren’t for that, I would honestly give a 4 or 5 star rating. Personally, I would like the layout to stay the same (action button above the A&B buttons). Just resize it a little and add the evade button to the left of the A&B buttons.

### 4/5 — Luvs it but plz make graphics better /:)

*2019-07-16, version 1.5.3*

Hello listen up I’m a nice kid k? Soooo listen to this I love it! It’s a fun car game but sometimes a bit laggy when I turn up the graphics so can you please fix that and make it look a bit like the ps4 Xbox and switch edition? By the way it’s a great game I wanted it for years and I finally got a gift card ;) anyways I love it and can’t wait to get a response it’s really amazing but please make it to where the npcs like Rupert and etc misc walk and wander around that would get 5 star ratings and I would tell almost everyone so if you could make better graphics and make npcs wander around I would see if the AppStore would allow me to rate 10 stars please make them wander around  can wait to get a developer response telling whether or not you could make them run from enemies and wander I rate full five stars plz make them run wander and socialize:)

### 4/5 — Falsely informed.

*2019-07-11, version 1.5.3*

I thought this game had a global multiplayer didn't realize the only multiplayer on it is local/same wifi. Other than that I love the game but I'll rate it 5 stars once I get to experience the game with other people on a none local network. Or perhaps there's something I'm missing either ways if it's possible to play global multiplayer then there needs to be some sort of instruction because... I can't find it.

If there isn't then you guys should try working on a way to make it happen, I know that creating a game and fixing bugs and improving it isn't easy, it's just that a more advanced multiplayer would help this game live on longer. Take junk jack for instance many people played it so they can get to play with other players and trade with each other, but ever since Game Center changed and the multiplayer died out, junk jack has lost its high fame and play rate.

### 2/5 — Nothing to do in this game

*2019-07-07, version 1.5.3*

The purpose of this game just isn’t clear. There are no consequences or benefits to any actions. You can collect things around you like stone blocks or plants or even people. But then there is no explanation about what to do with them and no faq or help. Occasionally you get killed by a monster but then you’re revived and back to picking up dirt and stones. You can apparently make things with the dirt and stones like clothing but there’s no explanation about exactly how to do that or what to do with that either. The tutorial explains NONE of these things. It’s a waste of money unless wandering aimlessly without any kind of reward or purpose is your kind of game. You could walk around your neighborhood and do the same thing. At least then you’d get exercise and it would be free...

### 5/5 — new weapon ideas.

*2019-05-25, version 1.5.3*

number one: whips I think whips would be a good idea for a new weapon type for the melee class. It can be a ranged weapon for those who don’t wanna fight up close with swords. 
Number two: flails would be a weapon to add for the melee class or ranged class, you could swing it to charge it up for a critical strike. 
Number three: armored wings. Armored wings would be awesome to add. It would increase jumping power and have its own attack. The player would spin twice for a melee attack swinging razor sharp quills at the foe while shooting razor sharp quills in a five block range at eny enemy nearby. 
I hope you read this and consider adding eny of these or not. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fun to play

*2019-05-21, version 1.5.3*

This is an amazing game that combines Minecraft elements with our peaches strategy and development. I have really enjoyed playing, And plan on purchasing it for my kids to play with me over Wi-Fi as well. My Complaint is that sometimes objects and items go invisible and can’t be found. In addition sometimes you can see something but can’t pick it up or put it in your inventory. I found a really cool spell and it got dropped while I was arranging my Inventory. I couldn’t pick it up And eventually lost it. It was a big bummer because it was a rare find.  Beyond that I love this game. I think it’s also neat that instances happen from zone to zone like invasions of skeletons or orcs.  You never know when something special is going to happen, and it makes you feel like you are a part of something. It would be nice to have more special vendors for weapons and armor, and have a little more character development. I would love to see sub classes like necromancer.
