### 1/5 — Bruh ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

*2025-03-03, version 1.6.5*

You can't delete your account from within the app

### 1/5 — terrible

*2023-12-07, version 0.20.6*

reason: when I’m walking, it doesn’t detect it, so it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — dissapointed

*2023-05-19*

i have been waiting months for this app, even had it predownloaded. however, when i open the app there are two options "guest user" and "existing user", existing user prompts a log in screen with no option to make a new account. the guest user button does nothing. help, faq, and report a bug buttons in the menu do nothing. deleted and redownloaded the app several times with no change. a big let down to not be able to use the app, hope it is fixed and i can update this review.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you weren’t able to play. We’ve updated the game to fix this issue, so try again on the newest version and let us know if you have any problems!

### 1/5 — Cool Concept, Horrible App.

*2023-05-18*

Game idea is really cool and I was excited to try but after trying to get through the tutorial Its clear that this game is a failure, I move faster than the base movement speed I set but it will randomly drop out of the attack into the heal over and over making it so I cant attack, I have tried setting my base speed lower and lower but nothing works, Disappointing game.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for your feedback - sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience - it sounds like your network connection may be interfering with the gameplay. I'd suggest 1. Turning off wifi when you go out to play 2. Setting a baseline pace around 20 minutes or so 3. Jogging lightly for 3-5 seconds in a straight line. If these steps, don't work, let me know! We also just released a new update that improves the experience and makes it so that you have a more stable experience. We'd love to have you give it another try and thanks for liking the idea!

### 2/5 — Revive the game and add new stuff

*2025-05-24*

Um is it me or is the game abandoned? I like this game but it feels empty and repetitive.
 Can the developer add evolves to the gears, by adding gems, new scoring system in matches, a PVP mode, get coins easier, and new battling looks for solos, ai team, and PVP.
And make powers that act like gears that use lots of coins but its permanent, 3 powers I think should be in the game are passive healing, attack boost and counters, and that means you can have a gear and power in one match. Please add this to the game

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for playing and for sharing your thoughts. We really appreciate the detailed feedback! The game definitely isn’t abandoned, and we’re actively working on new updates and improvements. You’ve shared some great ideas, especially around evolving gear, new powers, and a more engaging battle system. We’re taking all of this into consideration as we plan future updates, and it’s super helpful to hear what features matter most to players like you. Thanks again for your support, and stay tuned more is coming! If you encounter any other issues, please send an e-mail to help@talofagames.com

### 2/5 — It’s pretty broken

*2024-03-14*

The app doesn’t track my movement at all and says mission ended this is such a scam

**Developer response:** We're so sorry you're experiencing issues! Please reach out at help@talofagames.com, we're happy to help.

### 3/5 — Add music settings

*2023-06-16*

Please add setting to remove or disable music and turn down audio so I can listen to my music while running

**Developer response:** Hi! We've recently added this feature - please update the game and let us know what you think!

### 3/5 — Stuck😔

*2023-05-23*

Look I Would LOOOVE to play this game but I really can’t play it. My screen is stuck on the loading screen and I wasn’t able to get out unless I restarted my IPad I’m not saying I hate it.

**Developer response:** Hi! I see you're playing an older version - if you update to 0.15.0 do you still have this issue?

### 4/5 — Good concept, fun game, a bit glitchy

*2023-05-19*

I’ve been trying this game for the last day or so since it came out. 

The game was pretty good on my morning run, and I was able to finish 2 missions then. There is a bit of setup with the tutorial and getting onboarded, but after that it works pretty easily. 

For experienced runners, this entire game is basically a Fartlek run where you alternate between fast and slow paced at controlled times to train. The pace isn’t perfect and there is a slight lag but it’s enough to keep up with when I change pace. 

For newer runners, who have done pace change, I would recommend starting at a slower baseline and spent more for speed ups. Alternating speeds should be an big effort change until your calibrated.

I’m not sure how gear works yet, so I wish the tutorials around gear were better. Also the store is a bit lackluster since it’s basically just coins.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the in-depth review! We’re always continuing to iterate on things like tutorials and pace tracking, so feedback like this is very helpful to give us an idea of what needs changing. The store will receive iteration as well, so stay tuned for future updates!

### 4/5 — This is such a great idea with lots of potential

*2023-05-19*

I for one do not enjoy running…but the concept behind this app makes it so much fun. There are I dead lots of improvement that needs to happen but that is to be expected with any type of new release. 

I love the speed up to attack and slow down to defend yourself mechanic. This is a really fun way to incorporate heart rate training in a unique way.

My Biggest request would to be to allow some kind of heart rate monitor sync so you can use the app on a treadmill. You will loose a lot of users if they live in areas where weather doesn’t permit out door activities a few months out of the year.

**Developer response:** Great to hear you’re having fun! Integration with treadmills and other external equipment is definitely a priority for the future of Run Legends, so we hope you look forward to those options as they become available!

I love the idea but of this game and how it motivates you to exercise but I use Fitbit to track my exercise data and it does not connect with that so could you please create a way to connect my Fitbit stats with this?

### 5/5 — Wow this actually got me to run

*2024-05-03*

Amazing concept. Makes running fun. Wish you could play outside of app or on Lock Screen and audio balance with outside music streaming could be reworked. But still worth playing regardless.

*2023-06-04*

The game is easy to play right after installing! Short tutorial explains how you can play without even looking at your phone. The music is awesome and engaging, and the sound effects make running more interesting. I don’t normally like to run, but I do when it means battling monsters! First time in my life I actually look forward to running.
