The arena tournament play doesn’t work at all; and the vigor elixors appear to drop in the game but I never collect them. This leaves me unable to awaken any of the abilities beyond the one freebie that is given. Very disappointing ### 3/5 — Where’s the updates? *2025-03-18, version 2.5.0* I love this game but seems like they’ve given up on it ### 3/5 — This game is pretty fun… *2024-12-28, version 2.5.0* …. ### 3/5 — Almost good but AWFUL controls *2024-10-02* I keep trying the game, but keep getting so frustrated at the awful controls. The character sticks to walls, stopping, in a game where constant movement is needed. Controls reset after using the bracelet, leaving the character standing still and getting hit. Levels are designed with TONS of tight spaces, and dead ends, making these sticky issues even worse. Dashing direction is so inconsistent that it’s a gamble to do it. And then there’s dashing over water, which some levels require you to do, and often just simply doesn’t work. It’s close to being a good game, but these issues just make it anger-inducing. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t save *2024-09-14, version 2.5.0* It’s a fun game but every time you close it, it doesn’t save your progress and you have to completely restart ### 3/5 — F2P grind *2024-04-28, version 2.5.0* Still has that familiar F2P “start paying” or grind for years brick wall moment… just without the option to pay. ### 3/5 — Buff shields *2024-03-29, version 2.5.0* Heroes that have a sheild are unfathomably useless, both in pvp and pve. But at least there’s no micro transactions ### 3/5 — No more updates? *2024-02-22, version 2.5.0* No more updates to this game? ### 3/5 — SHADOWRELAN could not play *2024-02-04, version 2.5.0* always show 0h0m and “hold on for a while until the Hexagon is available” this game mode has been unavailable for several weeks now. Please fix it as soon as possible. ### 4/5 — Nice *2023-12-29, version 2.5.0* A nice little game. Some general tips; upgrading your armour sets give you better skills in the arena. Upgrading your summons gives your character some extra stats. Don’t feel bad about restarting the area, sometimes the skill rolls are awful. Some skill combinations work better than others, personally I like fire orb & spirit, with tracking sword, strong will, and invincible. The shadow realm is great for playing about with skill combinations! And finally, replaying previous levels will help you get some experience to level up. ### 3/5 — No real choices *2023-11-17, version 2.5.0* I understand the need to explain the games mechanics during game play but to make it so ur player has no real say in the choices given while it is being explain even to the point where u dont pick ur own players or ur first awakening and legit EVERY aspect of the game is on a already set course. No real autonomy…fun game tho? ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of fixes *2023-11-04* The lvl5 power with blast engineer causes 2 of your summons (specifically not Alchemist) to get locked indefinitely. They look like they are always on the board. don’t level blast engineer to lvl 5 it breaks it and makes it unusable. Lvl 5 blade master causes your other units (Nefara skeletons and summons) not to get the effect of blade master like all other levels has. Don’t level it to 5 it’s a mistake. Warlock’s Shadowrealm won’t have any new talents from the Graveyard update and inferno peak update. This only occurs if you get the older map not the grave yard map. I play on my son’s account on his device and that account has the exact same issues. You lose a star do to your developer hubris. The game is as if it’s in beta testing. Maybe you should take your ego down a notch and play it yourself to realize the problems it has. **Developer response:** Hello there, we’re sorry to hear you’re having issues with the game. If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend deleting and reinstalling the game to see if this corrects the issue, but please reach out to support if you continue having problems after reinstalling. We hope this helps! ### 2/5 — Update for the Update *2023-10-24* Here are some updated notes for the newest update adding the Inferno Peak stage: 1. The roll seems like it might have gotten a hot fix. While playing the new stage, the enemies seemed to be moved to either side of the roll a bit more. 2. New stage has some bugs that I'm currently replicating. The first observed, that projectiles from the enemies ignore the shield from Grey Face, was not able to be replicated. The maps for the new stage also don't seem as crowded with static entities that cause the player to get stuck on during a roll. There are still some spots where the collision for these items and the edge of the maps is a little bit jagged, but also seems like this may have been tweaked a bit. Adding a star while testing further. **Developer response:** Hello there, we're sorry to hear that you're having issues with the game. Please know that we do have plans to update the game frequently with improvements and new content. We have also forwarded this with the development team so it can be investigated further. We appreciate your patience and continuous support! ### 2/5 — Long Runway for Growth *2023-10-03* Update Edit: I'd like to take moment to thank the devs for their diligence with this game. In an earlier version of my review, I pointed out that the number of stars you're allowed to collect was less than the requirement to move forward in the game, making it confusing whether or not it was possible. Not even a week later, they've responded with an apology for any confusion, ensuring better communication about these things, AND patched it out of the game to clearly say 'coming soon...' for those stages. It's clear they care about their game and the people playing it, really refreshing to see! I've included some of the gameplay suggestions from the previous version, here: 1. More freedom in character customization/stats 2. More summon and booster options 3. Hit detection, especially when rolling (example of electric bursts towers that take up too much of the platform, phantom hits aren't as prominent lately) 4. More to do with summons, in general. Maybe some sort of a multiplayer aspect or just different game modes. Can't wait to see what's coming up and hope to bring this up to the 4-5 star range with the next big update! Thank you for your time!! Edit 2: gotta take this back down to 2 stars, as the roll mechanic is just really that bad. I'm constantly getting stuck on parts of the maps almost every time I play. Additionally, the player character will now get stuck on enemies and the controls are hit or miss for both movement and dodge. **Developer response:** Hello there, thanks for trying out the game! Summon Quest currently has a limit of 25 stars. This is due to the fourth area being under construction, which will be released on the next update. We apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused; we will make sure to do a better job communicating things in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 操作完全不跟手 *2026-01-22, version 2.5.0* 翻滚判定太迷了 移动按键没有锁定功能 翻滚加移动经常性导致移动失败 ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-02-03, version 2.5.0* This looks and (practically) plays the same as archero. The developers behind archero have put so much time and effort into the game (I’ve been playing about 4 years) and this game seems like a cheaply made knock off. If I haven’t sold you on getting archero instead of this mess; this game makes you play in landscape. Therefore, the way archero plays stays comfortable for longer periods of time. ### 1/5 — No updates in 6+ months *2024-06-04, version 2.5.0* Was a good game, but seems that developer has stopped supporting the app. Attempts at contacting Team17 for info only gets canned answers. Move on. ### 1/5 — Gets worse the longer you play it *2024-02-12, version 2.5.0* Typically with these types of games you play to upgrade so that you can make it further and challenge new content. in this game, every upgrade you purchase makes the enemies more difficult, especially around the end where the upgrades are so insignificant and you wind up taking forever to kill basic enemies in the first levels because everyone is so buffed. so each upgrade makes the game more annoying and less fun. It started out good but got worse until it was horrible. ### 1/5 — Huh? *2024-01-08* What’s up with getting stuck on everything in the environment even when there is nothing there you still get stuck. My character just stops moving all the time. Why do I lose sight of my character do to the environment seems really stupid I should see at least my outline or silhouette or something. I don’t understand what’s happening half the time and the controls are very unresponsive half the time I go in the wrong direction. I hit enemies and the don’t take damage I don’t hit them and they take damage. Enemies hit me with nothing and I get damage. Im sure stun locking isn’t a thing in this game but somehow it happens to me all the time. It needs a lot of work. ### 1/5 — Decent *2024-01-04, version 2.5.0* It feels like a reskin of a game i know 🤔 ### 1/5 — Don’t play long term *2023-11-27, version 2.5.0* It’s as if this game was designed for paid transactions but they were taken out to release on Apple Arcade. Clearly meant to gouge players that spend enough time in it - if they were allowed to. As you play and you upgrade abilities, each enemy gets stronger. It doesn’t matter what you upgrade, all enemies are buffed each time. Eventually it stacks up so bad that the game becomes unplayable. Each level you play or “upgrade” you buy makes the game worse and more frustrating. If you play this for an hour, great. If you are a completionist pass this, it’s the most unrewarding game I’ve ever played. ### 1/5 — Fun game but prepare to lose progress *2023-10-28, version 2.5.0* My game progress was lost after getting to about level 10. I’m still logged in to iCloud and GameCenter and can see all my achievements for the game, but my save state is gone and it’s making me start over. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — One feature ruins the game *2023-10-14* I tried my best to give the benefit of the doubt for this app, but I can't go one match in any game mode without getting stuck while rolling. The feature is completely broken and I can't justify even 2 stars, having gone so long without any sort of hot fix, patch, or at least a word from the devs. To reiterate from my previous reviews, the map design lends itself to causing way way too many collision issues with structures, map elements and borders, and water tiles when rolling. I can no longer count how many times I've gotten stuck in a corner, trapped by enemies that I can't roll past, with the power up to dash further, all in an attempt to get over one measly little tile of water. **Developer response:** Hello there, we're sorry to hear that you're having issues with the game. Please know that we do have plans to update the game frequently with improvements and new content. We have also forwarded this with the development team so it can be investigated further. We appreciate your patience and continuous support! ### 1/5 — Please update the game *2023-06-07, version 1.1.2* You put in one of the updates mentioning weekly updates but its been over a month and seems like you all forgot about this game just like all your other by these devs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — it is a very good game *2024-11-23, version 2.5.0* i very like to play this game like that. this so cool this game, i like it. ### 5/5 — Bad *2024-06-01, version 2.5.0* Last boss so hard to beat ### 5/5 — A fun game to pass time *2024-05-12, version 2.5.0* I’ve enjoyed this game in both the single player and pvp modes. I hope to see more content added to the game soon. ### 5/5 — Update works well on M1 Pro now *2024-02-29, version 2.5.0* Cute little game that works well on both my backbook and iphone 15. ### 5/5 — When is the final island coming out *2024-02-27, version 2.5.0* When is ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-01-13, version 2.5.0* Works flawlessly on M3 Pro ### 5/5 — One of the best Apple Arcade game *2023-11-17, version 2.5.0* It is easily one of Apple Arcade best games. The gameplay is fun and very engaging. The graphics are also very beautiful. One note for improvement is the PVP/Arena mode: it is not balance at all. Consider the hero upgrades and tier level…. Besides the unbalance and unthoughtful arena mode, everything is amazing. Kudos to the team. ### 5/5 — Very good! But some suggestions *2023-09-09, version 2.3.0* The squid boss’s bells don’t disappear when he picks them up, the frog boss sometimes hops out of bounds the flowers get stuck while burrowing every once in a while and large groups of enemies lag the game ### 5/5 — Fun and Addicting *2023-09-02* The game is pretty fun and satisfying to play. Sometimes it can be challenging but once you have build up lots of abilities/boosters, it is super addicting to play. Enemies have lots of variety and bosses are well designed. Control could be better as sometimes the character can get stuck or not dash where I wanted to. Updates have been consistently put out. Looking forward to future updates! ### 5/5 — Nice！ *2023-08-14, version 2.0.0* This game is easy to learn. The available builds are also rich, and the character images are humorous and interesting. Looking forward to the follow-up content. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
