### 5/5 — Feels like Skyrim

*2026-08-07, version 8.0*

Great game

### 5/5 — 5 stars for the outrageous ragdoll physics.

*2026-03-12, version 8.0*

Game is total garbage, but I hate myself so I completed the whole thing. It’s pretty bad, just one of those things that popped up during Skyrim mania. Tons of glitches.

I’d give this 2 stars if it weren’t for those 5 star ragdoll physics. The price of admission is worth it for that alone.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia and my childhood game

*2026-03-09, version 8.0*

I’m writing this review in March 2026 as I played this game over a decade ago and randomly download it for fun at times, it was my childhood game that was expensive at the time but my dad got it for me to play and I had a blast! Surprisingly they managed to port this into the Nintendo switch for a fraction of the cost however the gameplay did not change much sadly… would wish there were more updates for DLC content and games similar to this…

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-02-19, version 8.0*

Played this as a kid and redownloaded, it’s a great game that plays really well with a great storyline. I wish it was longer!

### 4/5 — This could have been the Elder Scrolls for iOS

*2026-01-26, version 8.0*

But its lacking controller support. Could we please please please get controller support?

### 4/5 — Love the game, hate how short it is

*2026-01-05, version 8.0*

I absolutely loved playing the game. The story progression, the music, the graphics everything was amazing and gave me nostalgia. However it was cut short since I completed both the main quest and the sub quests within 2 days. Wish the story was longer.

### 5/5 — Worth a shot.

*2025-12-13, version 8.0*

This is an open world RPG released for iPhone back in 2013. For its age, as well as for the platform it was released on, this game really has held up phenomenally well.
The graphics for a phone game are about as good as you can reasonably expect. The game is largely beautiful, with a nice variety of environments that encompass an impressively large map. The story is nothing spectacular but is interesting enough to hold your attention and offers a good length for playing, including a variety of interesting side quests. 
There’s a variety of weapons and armour and whilst they largely require a bit of grind to afford them all, they offer nice variety and a good goal to strive towards. 

In all, if you are looking for a short but decent foray into an open world adventure, and you’ve enjoyed other open world games, this really is a must buy. That this game never got more recognition than it did is honestly a bit of a joke. This game is incredible for the price and the device and even today is absolutely worth a shot.

### 5/5 — Skyrim

*2025-11-06, version 8.0*

My Skyrim is on ipad finally

### 3/5 — Great but really glitchy

*2025-09-02, version 8.0*

The game overall is really good. There is a major shortage of enhancing jewels. Not even enough to enhance your gear. You can’t buy them anywhere. The final boss is glitched and can’t be beaten. He flies all over and resets his HP. Then he will just fly up and disappear. You can’t even finish the battle. So disappointed. There are many times the game crashed for no reason.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2025-07-13, version 8.0*

Overall the game is good, but the main storyline quest is very glitchy. A fix on the citadel part 15 is badly needed. No bug fix means no further progression and would then become another waste of money and a deleted game
