And gives a lose no matter what. Even when I’m 4+levels above the opponent selected. ### 5/5 — Still amazing! *2024-07-19, version 2.2.0* After all these years I still return! Please update it! ### 5/5 — Another Great Game from my Childhood *2024-04-06, version 2.2.0* I don't have too much to say, but this was definitely one of the best free games I used to play, and I hope others continue to enjoy it as well. ### 5/5 — Love the game. *2024-03-27, version 2.2.0* I love the game it’s fun there are barely any ads. It has Easter eggs. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-02-01, version 2.2.0* I play this game almost every day and it’s the best game ever Play this game it is so fun ### 5/5 — :D *2024-01-27, version 2.1.0* This game is amazing! Please add Stick Ranger 2 to the appstore! I love your games! ### 5/5 — Adding Better Guides For The Stick Figures *2024-01-27* Great Game But It would be more better if you added a feature to be toggled on or off in settings, Where The Option will be where the stick figures will navigate to the signs where it says next or Boss, It will be more better if that was added, I rated this game a 5 star, Hope This Gets Added since I hate when I have to navigate the stick figures to the exit, either there’s still enemies left to deal damage, Thanks! ### 5/5 — simplesmente *2024-01-19* classico ### 5/5 — Genuinely Great *2023-12-26, version 2.1.0* An extremely rewarding experience to complete. Yes, it’s a bit tough at times, but that just makes it better. Honestly a fantastic game, cannot recommend it enough. ### 5/5 — Best game on any app store. *2023-10-26* Hands down best f2p game you can get on a phone. One of the best games ever made in general. I’ve dumped hundreds of hours into not only the game itself, experimenting with comps and speed running, i’ve also spent as much time helping the wiki. I hope one day dan ball will come back to this game. It deserves it. I would way 20$ for the game. Truly an all time favorite. Thank you. ### 5/5 — One of the best Browser game ports! *2023-07-26* Definitely one of the best ports of an old school browser game and it works so well on an IPhone! Not to mention a classic! ### 3/5 — Mp bug makes have super hard *2023-06-28, version 2.1.0* Without mp poison arrow doesn’t work nor cestus glove OR sword. This happens with devices that don’t fit the game resolution PLEASE FIX I KNOW YOU ARE STILL DEVELOPING PLS FIX. ### 5/5 — I've played this for over 10 years *2023-05-14* Trying different builds is fun! ### 4/5 — Mp glitch *2023-01-09, version 2.1.0* For some reason mp does not work on the iPad 10 the poison arrow doesn’t have the gas’s cloud and the gladiator doesn’t have its effects so light saber does not work this makes the gunner whipper gladiator and sniper and lastly priest useless please fix this glitch. ### 5/5 — buy the book from the shop! *2022-11-10* wonder why the in game book is so expensive? Well it’s because it’s really handy! It tells you just about everything you need to know about the enemies in the level. Health, drops, damage, and even how much exp they give on kill Not only that but it shows you the exp, hp, and drops when your attacking them once you unlock the book of the level Very useful if your trying to get specific drops for your stickmen because then you can figure out which enemies drop what you’re looking for ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NO ADS IN MY GAMES *2026-01-14, version 2.3.0* I would have paid 20$ to remove the stupid ads, no I'm not watching ads to remove them for only 6 hours. No ads! ### 1/5 — 광고 너무 심하네 *2025-05-18* 아니 무슨 광고로 먹고사나 왜이리 광고가 많이 나옴; 적당히 좀 하지 ### 1/5 — game too hard *2025-03-29* I can’t beat the Hell 5 bosses and Inferno 2 bosses in 2c, with a Boxer, Angel, Sniper and Priest ### 1/5 — Please let us pay to disable ads *2019-12-25, version 1.9.0* I love this game and have played it since version 1.0 but these new constant pop up ads are really ruining the experience. PLEASE give us the option to pay to disable ads ### 1/5 — Grind fest. *2017-12-08* This game is mildly entertaining but an absolute grind fest. It’s simply frustrating most of the time. It was translated poorly and although there is a link for help in the game it still doesn’t explain things very well. The classes are unbalanced and most of the time you will be hitting things with arrows (sniper class) and awkwardly moving your melee units around just to keep your archers alive. It gets ridiculously expensive to revive your units very soon. Experimenting with different weapons is also needlessly frustrating. Drop rates for gems to socket are abysmal and for some reason like so many other games you cannot remove socketed items, you can only replace them destroying the original. I don’t know how any game developer thinks this is a good idea. It’s friggin stupid and I wish it would go away. The controls are terrible. Trying to select a specific unit to move out of harms way is an exercise in futility as they usually end up bunched on top of each other. The time and effort required to get party to even level 20 so you can play around with the second tier of items is a joke. It takes too long. This game either needs a update or be removed from the App Store. It has potential but it’s wasted by being drowned in needlessly frustrating gameplay. ### 1/5 — Viel zu schwer *2015-02-05* Eigentlich gut aber nich wen das so schwierig is ### 2/5 — it used to be simple, and the best.. *2025-03-29, version 2.3.0* been playing this since before it was a thing, as a bored kid with limited pc capabilities and the dawn of browser games. when it came to mobile i immediately downloaded. its an off and on thing. you play, learn, grow, grind, adjust teams and weapons, grind for ultimate cards etc. its fun. well now theyve introduced ads. big loss, friends. i will no longer support this. it used to be free, casual, stressful and hardcore if you wanted it to be. ads ruined my experience. very sad. id happily support if i had the option, but never was an option now its forced. great game-sadly its tucked away now :( ### 2/5 — Fix this glitch please *2022-01-30* There is a glitch that I like to call the money stealing glitch where when you attack anatomy it takes away your gold why does that happen please fix that another thing you can fix is the flying out of me the flying enemies or probably the most broken type of enemy in the Most flying enemies in other games will stay in the air while shooting stuff at you or diving down and then hitting you biting you you etc. what for this game the flying anyways we’re doing something so stupid and needs to be fixed instead of shooting the projectiles at the range it that they are in they will die down and then shoot projectiles at you from there that is so stupid why make them dip down where are you could’ve just made them stay in the air and then shoot you from there please fix this however overall the game is pretty fun ### 2/5 — Love the game but *2022-01-05, version 2.0.1* The little bit of this game I actually got to play was great but when my guy died I needed to make money so I could rest at the in to save him otherwise I’d just loose but every time I tried to grind the first area for money my money started draining for no reason so I’m locked in progression ### 2/5 — Ok *2019-07-16* Ok ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a Golden Experience *2026-06-21* This game was truly made in heaven, the map is notoriously big, there are so many classes and the gameplay is super fun, it surely deserves 5 Stars, Platinum! ### 5/5 — The best game ever! 9.5/10. *2026-02-26, version 2.3.0* The game is very good but I have a few things you should add 1. To make auto move to the goal 2. To make a selected player move with A D and space (jump) and (W) shoot and arrow keys up (jump) (down) shoot for PC users and a joystick for IOS users. 3 save progress after each level I.e. grassland 1 3 save then 1 4 etc. 4. Using same keyboard or online you can do a multiplayer experience (either 2 human, two computer or just 2 human) 5. Please make the angel fly it will make the bosses and the game a little bit easier.this is the best game that I found! and it is very, very fun! ### 5/5 — good game *2025-12-18* pretty challenging, this game occupied me for easily a month or so ### 5/5 — Add more *2025-12-06, version 2.3.0* I know it’s an old game but it’s still fun ### 5/5 — good *2025-08-31, version 2.3.0* good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good ### 5/5 — This is best game ever *2025-05-01* Plz make stick ranger 2 for iOS(*’▽’*) ### 5/5 — One question *2025-03-03, version 2.2.0* One question, why does it take you to Archero 2 if you don’t have safari? Also I love this game ### 5/5 — amazing game very very hard *2024-12-28* love it idk i don’t really write reviews but this deserves one also i like that i can listen to music or podcasts well i play without the games audio interfering with it ### 5/5 — Please bring back video for VS mode *2024-12-11* Absolutely love the game, I’ve been hard grinding the last couple days and just beat it for the first time in years. Trying to get into vs mode but I just can’t figure out why I win or lose without replay. If you could add that back I would be really appreciative (I played a half-decade ago and it worked then) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-10-20* This is easily one of my favorite games from my childhood to now, it took a bit to figure stuff out but I found it worthwhile. A lot of the people complaining on the game focus on two or three things: 1. Draining money: that is specifically caused by using gunners as when you get any gun past the starting one it costs money to shoot. 2. Ads: if you turn WiFi and data off the game works fine without them. 3. A good few of the weapons require levels in MP to function, it is stated in the item’s description how much it takes to activate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
