Unspielbar dank der Steuerung

Das Spiel ist dank der äußerst ungenauen Steuerung und keinen genauen Tutorials leider unspielbar. Da kann auch die durchaus gelungene Grafik nichts mehr rausholen.

Excellent game

I love this game but it’s hard to play with mobile phone or ipad - the control clicking is the problem. I would hope one day it can be seen in switch and I will definitely buy it again on switch!

Downloaded it again.

I had this game years ago when it first came out. I got a new phone and somehow forgot about the game. Until today I googled the story because I couldn’t remember the name of the game and I found it within 10 minutes on YouTube! Well I bought it again. I think it was free when it first came out but I bought it this time because I loved it the first time and I have already played for an hour this time. One of the best games on a phone I have played. I’m not sure if you can still get it on PlayStation but I’m going to see if I can download it on PlayStation again too.

Leider auf Apple TV 4 nicht spielbar

Die Steuerung funktioniert nicht. Ich muss zwischen Apple Remote und Playstation Controller hin und her wechseln, um Aktionen auszuführen.

Nach dem Tutorial soll ich ein Menü offnen, damit es weiter geht, was leider auf keinem der Controller funktioniert.

Nach 5 Minuten Spiel, geht es damit einfach nicht weiter.

I really enjoy this game — controls could be better

I’ve had this game for years now and downloaded it pretty much when it came out. I played it on my phone but have more recently been playing it on my iPad, which I find I prefer since the screen is bigger.

I really enjoy the game overall, and how you can build on past iterations of the Ranger and explore different scenarios. I also really like puzzle crafting games and this perfectly scratches that itch.

My only complaint is that the controls can be frustrating at times—it’s an onscreen arrow pad and oftentimes I’ll find that I’ve not been precise enough when I’m using it and I’ll end up going the wrong direction or going further than I wanted which then means I usually get attacked or lose some health. This might just be an iPad issue, though. Similarly, the game crashes on occasion when I’m using my iPad.
