### 4/5 — 日本語対応希望です

*2025-12-19*

日本語対応してくれたら星５です

### 3/5 — No sound

*2025-12-10, version 1.1*

I love this game, I actually own it on three different platforms. But the iPad version sound is broken. Is it the sound of silence? I hope they got permission from Simon & Garfunkel to use the non-audio that is not being played when I play this game. Low stars so hope someone pays attention, even though IF games is gone..

### 5/5 — It’s back!

*2025-04-15, version 1.1*

Please don’t ever remove it from the AppStore again. I love this game so much 😭

### 5/5 — Where do I find Fen?

*2024-10-21, version 1.1*

I beat Chop Sue but I don’t see Fen :(

### 5/5 — Totally worth it!

*2024-08-10, version 1.1*

I loved this game, the gameplay is intuitive and combines a lot a mechanics I like in turn based strategy games. The music is great, I finished my second playthrough and still love listening to it!

### 2/5 — Not worth it :/

*2024-08-08, version 1.1*

The game had so much potential when I saw the videos about it on YouTube but it got SO repetitive so fast I got bored after like two hours of playing it. Wish I could’ve gotten a refund and never looked at this game again in my opinion it’s a waste of 6$ but you might like it 🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-07-11, version 1.1*

It’s a very amazing game very fun and enjoyable. I just wish there was more to the story and gameplay as well as releasing more games like these keep up the good work ⭐️

### 4/5 — Someone is missing…

*2024-06-15, version 1.1*

I love the game, don’t get me wrong, but there is one character I was really hoping to see (No, it’s not Dorthy or Rusty) that I heard was really good in game. It’s name is Fen, you cannot unfortunately get them on mobile. The game is good overall, but can you please add them sometime soon?

### 2/5 — Current Screen Sizes Not Supported

*2024-06-04, version 1.1*

I haven’t played the game much after purchasing because it doesn’t fill the screen on either my iPad or iPhone. There is no way to tell this from the details in the store, and all of the “most helpful” reviews are from 5+ years ago when the screen sizes of apple devices were smaller. I can’t see how this is still labeled as an editor’s choice app when the developers won’t update to support the screen size of devices that have been out there for multiple years. What little I have played of the game I liked, but I can’t see myself playing it much with it not fitting my display. Definitely regret the purchase, Hopefully some others can read this review before they make the same mistake.

### 5/5 — Beautifully designed, fun accessible game

*2024-05-15, version 1.1*

Highly recommended - really well-designed game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-04-17, version 1.1*

Great game love it need more and need an update for it to fit my iPhone XS Max screen.

Now that a sequel is announced do we get an iOS update for this game along with the dlc???????

### 5/5 — Please port Steamworld Dig

*2024-01-19, version 1.1*

A port of Steamworld Dig w/ controller support would be amazing.

### 4/5 — Fire,except

*2024-01-16, version 1.1*

Can y’all make the aspect ratio fill bigger phones like my 14 pro max? Loved this game on my 3ds and only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars. Love the art style, and collecting new hats and guns keeps me going. Love this game.

### 5/5 — RPG Strategy Perfection!!!

*2023-10-08, version 1.1*

I love the story but speaking on the game itself, it is only rivaled by games under Goliath developers. I’ve played RPG’s like final fantasy and dragon quest, but this series actually pulls me in and never lets go. I would give it 6 stars if possible. If you like this game, then I recommend trying the other Steamworld games given you have the systems. I haven’t played quest yet, but Steamworld Dig 1&2 are amazing Platformer RPG’s.

### 5/5 — An absolute classic

*2023-08-10, version 1.1*

I’ve played through it 3 times, each time not stopping till I’d done everything possible. Will probably do it again in a year or so.

### 5/5 — Steam World heist

*2023-07-12, version 1.1*

I love this game so very much because of the beautiful artwork, plot, and effects. The music is creative and has great characters. I have been playing this game since I was seven and enjoyed it very much. The game Devs have a huge mind. I recommend this game a whole lot. Thank you. Enjoy the game!

### 1/5 — ??

*2026-08-01, version 1.1*

Comment joue t’on a se jeux?????

### 1/5 — Faites une mise à jour !!!!

*2026-02-12*

J’ai mis une étoile parce que au delà du fait que j’adore ce jeu, il est déplorable de constater qu’il ne soit plus suivi par son développeur. Sinon comment expliquer que depuis l’arrivée de l’iPhone X il n’y a toujours pas de mise à jour de l’application pour l’adapter aux écrans de plus grand format ? Et il est toujours payant alors qu’il y’a ce gros problème qui gâche l’expérience de jeu.

### 1/5 — Deveria ser removido da app store

*2025-10-24*

Sem suporte para as telas dos novos iPhones, 5 anos sem atualização é ridículo!!!

### 1/5 — Where’s the update?

*2025-05-01*

Cade a atualização? Não há tela cheia para telefones mais novos.

### 1/5 — poorly thought out design

*2021-08-22, version 1.1*

two overtly punishing mechanics: losing all xp for dead characters and losing half your money for a failed mission.  what a great idea!  create a negative feedback loop by having longterm punishments for your players.  some people just shouldn't design games.  sad!

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy If You Have New Device

*2021-01-17, version 1.1*

The game is not optimized and looks like garbage on my 11. No full screen.

### 1/5 — Cadê a atualização para o suporte full screen ?

*2020-09-06*

Nos novos iPhones a tela não fica completamente preenchida, prejudicando a experiência do usuário.

### 1/5 — Wish I could give it 0 star

*2020-05-31, version 1.1*

It is stupid

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2020-01-30, version 1.1*

Needs to be updated for newer devices.

### 1/5 — Screen

*2019-11-15, version 1.1*

No iPhone X screen adaptation???

### 5/5 — What a treasure

*2026-06-19, version 1.1*

This game is probably the best mobile game ive ever played. I played start to finish when I was younger and id put it with hollow knight for its category and device its played on. What a banger.

### 5/5 — Still awesome and challenging

*2026-06-07, version 1.1*

I haven’t revisited this game since I first bought it, but recently pulled it back out and found it is as entertaining and challenging as I remembered. Amazing music, great strategic gameplay, really an incredible way to spend a few hours.

### 5/5 — iPad Air full screen problem

*2026-05-29*

The game is damn good, but it’s not covering the entire screen leaving black bars. Please look into this and update us. Thank you

### 5/5 — MUST PLAY

*2026-02-28, version 1.1*

So underrated! This is a gem in the desert. I’ve put 50+ hours into this game and the sequel across all platforms. Such a well designed and polished game. 10/10

### 5/5 — Update for modern phone screens

*2025-12-19, version 1.1*

Great game but needs update to fill screen. Would be much easier to read the text

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-11-25, version 1.1*

Great Game. Played it as a kid and came back to it. Still as fun as I remember.

### 5/5 — A legend game!

*2025-11-20, version 1.1*

Play fantastically on iPads, but doesn’t fit the screen of iPhones after iPhone X.

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2025-09-25*

Sans nul doute mon jeu préféré sur mobile.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-09, version 1.1*

Gameplay and visual perfect ! I was play it on Switch but iPad … bigger screen is nice….!

### 5/5 — Das beste Spiel auf iOS

*2025-04-27*

m.E. das beste Spiel, welches im AppStore zu haben/laden ist, und ich habe sehr viel ausprobiert. Achtung: Man braucht richtig gute Disziplin, sonst bleibt man völlig im SteamWorld Universum stecken. 
Tolle Characters, tolles Spielprinzip & Storyline, tolle Musik, absolut empfehlenswert. One buy, kein Abo-Model.
