This game is broken.
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.

Loveee this game!
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!

I need help horrible glitch
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

A hidden gem of crafting style games, albeit neglected on mobile
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.

Fantastic, but..
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.

Luvs it but plz make graphics better /:)
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:)

Falsely informed.
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.

Nothing to do in this game
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...

new weapon ideas.
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.

Fun to play
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.

Devs need to aim higher
The devs need to aim higher. Multiplayer via wifi isnt good enough for most people, especially when they cant just drive to their friends house.
And the controls being so weird rly hurts the hands after 30mins of playing. There needs to be a way to move the controls around to suit any person’s hand size.
There dont seem to be many updates. Only 3 bosses have been added in the past yr? Same evens as always? Did the devs lose interest in the game? We need more content. The game has MUCH potential! Please keep making it better! I want people to actually debate if this game is better than minecraft or not!

Wow, but hmmm.
This game is great. You even got the
Skyrim shouts. I just love that you can create your
Character and it will be different from all the other characters in life. I just have one thing, though. It’s thAt the levels are different than you describe them. You know in shrinking sands, there should be 2 buildings, but there is only one. And that is the cultist temple. And the mini boss giant squid, that was in callus’s claim for some reason, even though the wiki said it was in shrieking sands. And guess what I’m trying to tell you. That I need the worlds to fit the description, and I can’t move on. This problem might have to do with me playing on mobile, but who knows.

This is a game you should play with friends
This game is real fun to play with friends and family but when you are alone it can get pretty hard. It’s really cool how there are dungeons and mini bosses and real bosses but it can be hard for people that can’t tap very fast. This game doesn’t depend on being fast or anything it just depends on what you like to play. If you like adventures and building new armor and weapons. For you younger kids it is fun to play because it has keep inventory and helps the younger one not rage quit like Minecraft. In my opinion it is a game for everyone but you should just make sure you have someone you can play with when fighting the bosses. This is what I think of the game and if you can play with me remember my name is “the first hero” so if you would like help just find me and I can help you.

Response from developer
: )
Some fundamental issues
This game is gorgeous and fun. Portal Knights takes an already established niche and improves upon it. The game makes great use of a lovely world full of unique creatures and engaging terrains. I fell in love with the visuals the moment I started.
But, here’s where the game starts failing. The controls on mobile are atrocious. The camera makes it impossible to see in any tight spaces or fights. The wonky virtual joystick is very difficult to use and make targeting a nightmare. The game allows a first person perspective which helps with building since you can’t see through your character to place blocks, but in tight spaces you can’t see anything.
I don’t know how exactly Portal Knights would improve the controls to make this playable on mobile but as it is now it is frustrating and unrewarding. My only idea would be to add a zoom option and maybe transparency to the character when placing blocks. Also being able to place multiple blocks at once would help make the building less tedious and awkward.
I’m honestly not sure if there is a good way to make this game playable on mobile but it deserves support because it is a truly great game. It is easily the best in its genre.

Portal knights review
The gameplay is excellent and the graphics are very well designed, but I have a few gripes that make me want to stop playing one such gripe being that whenever you tap the joystick you roll and I have died many times because of this. I also dislike how locking onto an enemy takes you out of first person and on the same note that you can’t jump in combat mode. The final thing I feel could be improved is in the boss fights so far more so the dragon Queen is that when I was trying to knock the eggs of the edge I found that the locking system locked onto the boss instead of the eggs causing me to die many times because of the minions the dragon spawns in. As it stands now I have not noticed anything else but overall good game. And maybe make it a little easier to level up it takes forever.

Good but suggestions
1. I think you should definitely make sure you can set a spawnpoint so you’re not always having to walk all the way to your house 2. I think you should also be able to upgrade your weapons so that there stronger 3. You should make a building guide so that your not stuck not knowing what to build 4. In creative mode you should be able to spawn monsters and be able to make the world flat just like minecraft 5. Finally I think that you should add animals other than pets that you can kill for food and eat and if you don’t eat you will lose health and eventually die from starvation 6. Oh and one more your pets should be able to fight with you or there should be special pets who fight for you

One thing I don’t like about this game when you’re trying to build anything you swear you pressed A and you had it exactly where you wanted it to be placed at but it goes completely somewhere else another thing I don’t like about this game is in the current mode you had it a block and it gets destroyed instantly that I do like that because of the survival it gets annoying when you have to sit there but I do like about this game is a have to level up your character you get to choose a witch versus swords person or an archer person so far this Best is the sword person you could use like how you can choose hair colors are colors I strips mouth and hairstyles I halyards as the survival mode the credit mode is not that fun as it’s not as fun as the survival mode skills you get to level up I like so the survival mode is the most one I like

This update added to many problems
I like the game and the idea for the update but now the game glitches up to much I can barely play it now. When I turn it stutters like if the sensitivity is off and on plus FPS spikes. When I move I move much slower than before. Also what happened to crafting rings and capes. I think when you created the creative mode you didn’t double check the adventure mode playability. Then on top of all of that I can’t beat the final boss because of these glitches. I would give it a higher star if these problems get fixed. And for the idea it is ok I just wanted to suggest and support this game. Thanks for at least reading my review because every other game I review I get nothing in return unlike you guys I will say that you are one of my favorite game creators.

Well a Deserved Game Of The Month
I don’t usually write reviews, but the recent update absolutely blew my mind not to. I’ve started Portal Knights months ago; even then, the fluid combat and gameplay outshined most, of not all, other mobile games I’ve played. Through the whimsical characters, monsters, equipments, landscape, and more, it truly feels as if one can be immersed in the fantasy world. What motivated me the most to write this review is the update of creative mode. The flying mechanism to maneuver the world is absolutely unparalleled! Combined with the recently added ability to construct building efficiently, it makes Portal Knights the champion to that of similar games.
A major downside to this update, in my honest opinion, is the weakening of equipment (decreased critical chance/damage, and etc). Hardmode bosses are already challenging, but this will make it unnecessarily more difficult.
A few suggestions:
- summon and place monsters in creative mode (CM)
- increase speed in placing and destroying blocks in CM
- increased movement speed in CM to allow for more efficiency during construction
- allow for deactivation of CM “cheats” (ie: flying, building speed, immunity)

3D terraria?
First off let me tell you how much I love this game from its beautiful graphics, amazing boss fights, good leveling system, and other things but I gotta say it’s like terraria in a lot of ways (I do know that 505 games made terraria) reason #1, their are currently only 3 bosses in the game much like when terraria first came out, also their is one boss that is similar to the first one in terraria being the eater of worlds, or in portal knights a giant worm. Reason #2, building the building in these games are practically the same. Reason #3, classes there are three classes the Knight, mage and the ranger just like in terraria that’s some of similar things in these game that I’ve found there’s probably more but still I really recommend it it’s really fun 9/10.
