Would change my vote to 5 stars instantly if difficulty settings were added to the game. ### 2/5 — Poor control *2025-11-05, version 2024.1.2* Game has potential but movement control is poor. On field player stands still and is tackled and as much as you attempt to control the movement, it is very sporadic, sometimes it works more often than not it doesn’t. Would not recommend the investment. ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-10-19, version 2024.1.2* I would like to know if this game can support my backbone controller. It seems the have issues with the buttons in the game. Adding that would make it perfect. ### 4/5 — When is the new update? *2025-09-27, version 2024.1.2* Great game, just waiting for updated squads? ### 4/5 — The Best Mobile NRL Game *2025-07-20, version 2024.1.2* It’s good but Plz Just Make It’s So We Can Have A Bench Team And A Lineup ### 4/5 — Amazing *2025-06-01, version 2024.1.2* It’s great but not worth 10 bucks ### 4/5 — Update this *2025-03-10, version 2024.1.2* This game is amazing but it needs an update ### 4/5 — Solid game *2024-09-25, version 2024.1.2* Honestly great game they just need to fix a few things. When passing if your pass misses its target once it’s far to hard to pick the ball back up. And they need to add the ability to choose whether or not you want a floating joy stick. Otherwise extremely enjoyable game. ### 4/5 — Game problems *2024-07-29, version 2024.1.2* They need to fix the bugs fixes and don’t add those like power up things that will make the game more realistic and more professional ### 5/5 — 5 star *2024-07-07, version 2024.1.2* Keep updating please ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-06-24, version 2024.1.2* Love this game so much, really hope it’s gonna get some more updates! ### 5/5 — love this game *2024-04-21, version 2024.1.2* this game is soo fun to play and love it should add names or a career mode but i know that’s probably too big to do on a mobile game anyway love this ### 5/5 — Captains challenge *2024-04-14, version 2024.1.2* Hey mate just wondering when will we get a captains challenge for the game ### 5/5 — Backbone *2024-03-26, version 2024.1.2* Please add backbone controller support ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Get updates *2026-06-25, version 2024.2.0* Bro you need to make the 2026 teams and kits bro ### 1/5 — Fun but broken *2026-05-25, version 2024.2.0* Whenever I’m smashing it on very hard it goes really good it always happens still really fun ### 1/5 — BIGGEST SCAM *2025-06-17, version 2024.1.2* There is no defending, the ai is designed to favourite the opponent, penalties are called for no reason at all, no penalties or offsides or 6 again get called that help you but will get called for no reason at all to help the other team and when the ball is kicked and opponent catches it in field it is counted as out and get given a 20m start. Such a scam. Not worth buying. ### 1/5 — Very Hard difficulty *2024-09-21* I’m playing on the hardest difficulty and u just can’t win a game with scripting their players will just run through yours with tackle breaks and you’ve got no chance. Never happens to my team but the other team everytime their down it seems to happen. Maybe make a step like I’m deadest winning every game until 10 minutes left just ruins the fun gets you angry and wastes your time. I also played a game on hard mode I restarted every time I lost and I’m playing a tournament mode which I’ve won 5 games out 9. I played 12 times and I didn’t win once so it’s scripted and u know it. The tackle breaks and how u just can’t tackle players ruins the games the ai just randomly passing it half the field then the player goes picks it up and scores? Most of the games stat lines are 25 tackle breaks to 3 honestly how do u want me to win. I’m down by 20 all of the sudden I can score three straight n my played turn into prime Josh addo Carr with the speed. ### 1/5 — Please let me know when you find *2024-06-07, version 2024.1.2* How is everyone so sore but the pan so fast did you harte nsw ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2023-07-19, version 2023.3.1* Absolutely Horrendous game. Tried staring out on easy mode and played 2 games. You can barely get any attack going and the game fails to understand the concept of draw and pass. I’m a massive footy and I gotta say this game sucked. ### 1/5 — Can’t change camera angles *2023-07-08, version 2023.3.1* Not worth the price ### 1/5 — Very overrated *2023-06-29, version 2023.3.1* This game looks so much better on the adds but when I try to tackle it just says no ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-06-22, version 2023.3.0* Feel like I got absolutely ripped off for $10. Can’t change players around , can’t change or upgrade skills or tactics , can’t do anything but run, tackle, and kick . Boooooooring ### 1/5 — Not worth a 10a *2023-06-03, version 2023.2.0* Sorry persisted with this game. Mechanics are horrible. Half the time players stack on one side. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-04-26, version 2024.2.0* is the game still being worked on behind the scenes love it ### 5/5 — Needs updates *2026-04-03, version 2024.2.0* This game is great and I absolutely love it. The only thing it needs is an update for the teams. Other than that it’s great ### 5/5 — Best nrl game ever *2025-08-07, version 2024.1.2* The graphics are amazing the features are amazing everything is amazing ### 5/5 — Better than. Rl26 *2025-07-29* Only needs a camera angle that is more zoomed out to be able to see players positions ### 5/5 — Good game but make 2025 teams *2025-06-27, version 2024.1.2* I like the game but pls add 2025 teams and try get lisincing ### 5/5 — Please update🙏 *2025-05-31, version 2024.1.2* Absolutely brilliant but you haven’t made a 2025 season like you did with the 2023 and 2024 seasons so there’s no new players added to the game and soon when the bears and png team comes they won’t have a team. I love this game so much I play it everyday it’s best game ever and it’s not even close I’m asking for a 2025 update soon please🙏I really miss the old RLL23 that would update every year ### 5/5 — Update *2025-05-11, version 2024.1.2* Definitely due an update. ### 5/5 — Gem of a mobile game *2025-05-01* This is a gem of a mobile game. You pay and there no adds, no micro transactions, and no annoying packs to open, how refreshing is that. You just play and have lots of fun. Yes it’s in arcade style but it is a challenging game. Would be great to get regular updates or a new version of this game. ### 5/5 — New updates *2024-11-15, version 2024.1.2* ? ### 5/5 — Please make rugby union league!! *2024-10-10* PLEASE make a rugby union league, everything about RLL ‘23 is so perfect. I was wondering if you could make a rugby union version of it! It would be much appreciated! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
