So I decided to come back and rebuy it to see if I can get the nostalgia of once playing this game. It’s still a great game don’t get me wrong. It’s just the screen size was never updated to fit the new iPhone 12 mini (and I’m guessing all iPhone 10 and up) so I’m forced to play like I was on the iPhone 5s. It’s not a bad purchase though, just wish this was fixed and it’s highly unlikely it will be (last update 5 years ago). 3 stars. ### 4/5 — Great game, but no sound ? *2021-02-23, version 1.7* Is this a bug or just my device ? Because one day i had music/sounds but the next nothing. Other than that great basic game, my whole childhood. ### 5/5 — Was not emotionally prepared *2020-07-25, version 1.7* 10/10 would buy again. ### 2/5 — I Love it *2020-06-23, version 1.7* I never played an better game ever ### 5/5 — Best scary game xD *2019-12-30, version 1.7* This games is the best it’s worth buying it and they should do a multiplayer game too lesta how much can we get the papers xD 📝 ### 5/5 — Constant Crashing *2019-10-13, version 1.7* Update - got your response. It’s working now, no worries. Thank you! The moment I start a level, the game crashes entirely. I’ve tried restarting the app, and even my phone several times. I paid money for this app. I expect it to work. ### 2/5 — Slendermen *2019-10-09, version 1.7* This game is not that scary. It is a guy with no face after you. There is no action like most horror games .I wasted my money.😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2019-06-19, version 1.7* This is the creepiest and frighting great job on this but add a update that you can to endless on signs of the end and endless on the lost souls please soo this gats sooo more creepier because I love slender man game anddddd horror soo please add the two endless that I said earlier Great job🥰👍 and slender this is for you your creepy and hard to get out I got all signs but I died but it’s just a game and slender I still like you👍 ### 5/5 — Campaign and multiplayer *2019-06-02, version 1.7* What I really like about slendersaurus rex is that he never leaves you alone. But you should make it a multiplayer thing where a group goes camping and they have to make it back to civilization and survive the slendersaurus Rex. And a campaign and every time you pass a level, it gets harder and harder to get out of slendersaurus’ trap. And at the end you have a job to kill ALL of the creepy pastas including Jason, slendersaurus, Freddy cougar, bendy from bendy And the ink machine and five nights at Freddy’s Animatronics. I’m not complaining I’m suggesting that you at least add a multiplayer and a campaign. Over all the game is amazing and addicting. Oh and also, add a feature to have your pick of another creepy pasta so slender isn’t alone. ### 5/5 — Slender rising *2019-04-27, version 1.7* Golly this game is truly spooky! Me and my sister play this game and we piss ourselves It is way scarier than most horror games these days and will always hold a special place in my heart ### 5/5 — If your the creators/developers of this game please respond *2019-04-02, version 1.7* This game is my favorite horror mobile game and it's also very nostalgic to me. I was wondering if I could somehow find the audio of the piano in the title screen because it's so nostalgic to me and I'd love to listen to it on loop ### 3/5 — The game doesn’t support iPhone 10’s screen. *2019-04-02, version 1.7* it’s a nice game I played the free version but then I thought that maybe the paid version will support iPhone X so I got the paid version but I was wrong please make the game screen support iPhone X thank you. ### 5/5 — I love it *2019-03-10, version 1.7* I wish that u can take control of slender and make a multiplayer matches this will make players want to play this game because it’s fun and scary! Anyways the graphics r amazing and the model of slenderman is realistic i hope the creater doesn’t delete this game because I just bought it. ### 5/5 — I’m not scared *2019-02-18, version 1.7* I like the hanging tree the one that has hang thingy ### 5/5 — OMFG! LOVE IT! *2019-01-27, version 1.7* I really love the details on both enemy’s appearances but there’s one more thing that I found out. Maybe you can make the appearance look like from the movie from last year. Fact: the actor of slender man is Javier botet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slender Rising *2026-07-18, version 1.7* This ‘game’ sucks. It is by far the worst game I have ever wasted my time and money on. Was bored after 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — ПОЗОР *2021-11-13* КУПИЛ ИГРУ. ТОЛЬКО ОТКРЫЛ ЕЕ НА IPHONE 13 PRO MAX,А ОНА НЕ ВО ВЕСЬ ЭКРАН!!!!ПРОПАЛО ЖЕЛАНИЕ ВООБЩЕ ИГРАТЬ. ТО ЕСТЬ НАЧИНАЯ С IPHONE X ЭТО ИГРА НЕ ВО ВЕСЬ ЭКРАН. ПОЗОР. ПОЧЕМУ APPLE ПОЗВОЛЯЕТ ОСТАВЛЯТЬ ТАКИЕ ИГРЫ В APPSTORE?!?! ### 1/5 — Fix pls *2019-10-31, version 1.7* Exits out of game and won’t start, iPhone XR paid for nothing ### 1/5 — Pointless *2017-02-06, version 1.7* Stupid, waste of time ### 1/5 — Trash *2017-01-04, version 1.7* Wouldn't even start up and when it did one time it was super glitchy and immediately shut off so I deleted and redone loaded and was the same case I want my money back for a ripoff game like this want my money back ### 1/5 — Boring *2015-09-01, version 1.6* There's no point to this game. The only excitment is when you see that tall POS. After playing twice, I chased him to see what he looked like up close. Haven't played since. ### 1/5 — dumb *2015-08-17, version 1.6* I don't get the reviews. This is easily the dumbest game I've ever purchased. ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2015-02-15, version 1.6* Wish I didn't pay for this crap..all you are doing is running around trying to find signs and avoid a weird demon of some sort. Waste of money...I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-12-31, version 1.6* What a waste. Generic gameplay with no plot - expected much more given the hype. ### 1/5 — Отстой полный *2014-06-02* Игра просто полный отстой!! Может и страшная для детей лет 7!! Просто ходишь по местности и собиратель листочки и уворачиваешься от слендера! Уровни идентичные! Смысла никакого!!! Очень разочарован!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Somehow better than I remember it *2026-06-25, version 1.7* I didn’t imagine myself buying a game from my childhood in the big ‘26, but here I am! This was incredibly well-made for its time. Simple concept of needing to survive Slenderman in a spooky setting. Happy with how smoothly it has run on my old Apple iPad and now on my newer iPhone. Well-worth the price, too! ### 5/5 — Still amazing in 2026 *2026-02-20, version 1.7* Still works on an iPhone 17 Pro with iOS 26.4. One of the best Slender games ever made and very nostalgic! ### 5/5 — Come back man *2025-09-23, version 1.7* You have to and I mean HAVE to port these games to the pc platform I beg of you!! ### 5/5 — I played this before. *2025-08-09, version 1.7* I played this before when I remember that. ### 5/5 — A certified nostalgic memory *2024-09-16, version 1.7* This game was the best horror game I played as a 10-year-old child back in 2013-2014. ### 5/5 — Amazing even at Today’s Standards! *2023-06-11, version 1.7* Wish the creator would make a remake with the more powerful hardware and software available now! Even an update with new features on Slender Rising and the 2nd one would be so cool! This game is still fun and well-made! ### 5/5 — Awesome game for a quick spook *2022-08-01, version 1.7* This game is good for the price. I like the variation of modes and the logic for The lost ward not having storm is cool. This game is awesome for just a quick spook and good for long play sessions! Awesome game 9 years ago, good game in 2022 ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-03-06* Create please Slender rising 3 ### 5/5 — Still Great In 2021! *2021-09-04, version 1.7* I’ve had this game ever since it came out, and it’s amazing that it still manages to give me thrills every time I play it. The environments, the sound design, the music, it all comes together to make a truly console-quality experience (at least when it came out.) Even though it’s old, Slender Rising (and Slender Rising 2) are both still scary and still fun to this day. They are simple, but I think that’s part of their magic. I do wish this game was still updated however, as playing it on an iPhone 12 Pro certainly emphasizes the fact that this game was designed for iOS 4 and much less powerful devices... I would love to see this game updated, or maybe even a new game in the series built for modern devices! Either way, it’s impressive that it still runs fine without bugs on iOS 14. I’m also impressed with the large number of options available in the game. It’s is highly configurable in both gameplay and controls, and this actually adds some replay value as well. If you find this game and are a fan of horror games, I highly recommend it even in 2021!! Sit down with some headphones in the dark, and prepare for a genuinely scary experience. ### 5/5 — What Update I want *2020-12-10, version 1.7* I wish there’s more Game Over Screens and uhh... more maps.. When will that be coming? Or not.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
