But then an update brought ads all over the game. Thanks, deleted. ### 1/5 — Good game but bad scam. *2015-08-30, version 1.3* Paid for this game and it still has ads.....

Könnte man das nachbessern dann 5 Sterne .... ### 1/5 — Game crashes *2013-12-19, version 1.0* The game crash after loading please fix fast ~_~ ### 2/5 — Sick of ads! *2020-10-05, version 1.4.1* I purchased this game many years back for 2.99 and now it’s loaded with freakin ads!! I didn’t have b4, I am sick of this crap, buy once, and NO ADS! ### 3/5 — Keine Notch-Anpassung *2019-08-08, version 1.4.1* Könnte man ja bei einem Update von vor einem Jahr erwarten. ### 3/5 — 結構楽しい *2017-07-18, version 1.3* 結構悪くない感じです。 誤タップで意図に反して視点が変わってしまう事が多いのが少々残念。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still fun after all these years *2025-06-10, version 1.4.1* I rediscovered this one on my app history from back when I had an iPhone 4s I think. It’s still such a fun game. It’s simple but the graphics are awesome. Always fun to blast little alien sea creatures for a few minutes. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2023-07-23, version 1.4.1* It’s very engaging with lot’s of differing enemies to keep you on your toes. It has more content then payed games I’ve played in the past. My favourite enemy is the spitter. ### 5/5 — Really good *2023-03-16, version 1.4.1* Next episode? ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2021-06-21, version 1.4.1* Love the game. It has a real slick look to it and the gameplay is smooth like a hot knife cutting through butter. Great fun and a time killer worth playing as one of your go to games. 2 Thumbs up to the game makers. ### 5/5 — Excellent. *2021-01-19, version 1.4.1* Tout bonnement excellent. Shoggoth Rising est vraiment un très bon jeu sur Smartphone, je vous le recommande sans hésiter. Seul petit bémol, les quelques rares publicités apparaissant de temps à autre à la fin d’un niveau. Sinon, foncez tête baissée ! Shoggoth est une valeur sûre. ### 5/5 — Hard to put down *2020-08-16, version 1.4.1* Very good game with a nice selection of weapons and Lovecraft monsters to fight. It starts off very easy but the hard mode lives up to its name! A lot of fun and very difficult to put down once you start blasting away. ### 5/5 — H P Lovecraft would’ve been proud! *2018-04-15, version 1.4* One of the best Lovecraft games ever! Action packed with great graphics, making awesome combo.As much as episode 1 is great, episode 2 might be better with more monsters and new concepts.The designs and story are impressive,too. Need more monsters like,say, Cthulhu?Maybe add some spice like Dagon and his partner a Hydra?Couple of Cthulhi plus water deities?A Dreamlands mode in story would be nice! More episodes would inspire a trilogy in the series. ### 5/5 — 面白いね! *2017-09-24, version 1.3* ステージも沢山あって暇つぶしになるよ〜 ### 5/5 — Inspired By HP Lovecraft *2017-08-27, version 1.3* Simple to learn, hard to master horror game inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft. Mild learning curve amps up slowly making this the perfect creepfest for when you want to defend your lighthouse from the hordes of the deep. Graphics are quite impressive with rain and lightning effects creating just the right atmosphere for late night gaming. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-07-16, version 1.3* Excellent petit jeu défouloir pour casser du Profond et des tentacules... point de Shoggoth dans cet opus cependant, peut être dans le prochain... tekeli-li... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
