### 5/5 — Génial

*2025-06-29, version 1.3.0.55712*

J’y ai joué avec mon frère et mes parents et malgré le fait que d’habitude ils n’aiment pas les jeux vidéo, on à tous passer un super moment 
Le jeu est jolie les voix sont très bien faite 
Le jeu est dynamique et drôle 

Je recommande vivement

### 4/5 — Spaßig und ein bisschen schwer

*2025-06-08*

Es macht sehr Spaß aber die Rawenger sind sehr schwer zu besiegen, ich und mein Vater haben heute zum zweiten Mal es gespielt

### 5/5 — Bien

*2025-05-30, version 1.2.1.55040*

Très jolie jeu

### 5/5 — Amazing fun; thoughtfully designed

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.1.55040*

Sunderfolk (the iOS app is a companion to the console/PC game) is serious fun. We’ve been playing it with friends both on the couch and over Discord, and it works fantastically either way. The app interface is designed so well that you get a very real-time feeling experience that still works in a very lag-tolerant way (eg. streaming my Switch to Discord). The gameplay itself is super fun, the voice work and art is amazing. One of my favourite games of the year.

### 5/5 — Great for Family Game Night

*2025-05-13, version 1.2.0.54457*

A fun concept for game night that delivers on the screen and the app. Well done!

### 5/5 — Fajnie rozwiązana kontrola myszki

*2025-05-12, version 1.2.0.54457*

Gra działa całkiem fajnie. Każdy z graczy może wybrać dowolny język w ustawieniach. Połączenie działa stabilnie. Najprościej dołączyć przez QR kod. Jeżeli rozładuje się nam bateria w telefonie można dołączyć po zakończeniu aktualnej walki. Ogólnie wszystko super.

### 5/5 — More characters pls

*2025-05-03*

Great game! Please try it yourself, please do add more characters tho 😀😀😀

### 4/5 — Great idea and execution

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.3.53782*

App as a controller works surprisingly well. 

Interface can be a little confusing sometimes, but was able to learn pretty quickly. 

Minor issue is that some notifications are hidden by the  camera cutout on iPhone

### 5/5 — Great game concept!

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.3.53782*

Sure this is just part of the game but it’s a great concept. Probably the easiest way to get into a Dungeons and dragons style rpg before taking all the time needed for the actual game. Family friendly so perfect for kids. Easy for people who wouldn’t normally play a game like this to jump right in. I’m all in and hope they release more content and maybe even a second game someday! Also coming from a 6 person family wishlist, maybe a 5-6 person game mode someday? Even so, the games worth every penny!

### 3/5 — Good start on Ipad

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.3.53782*

App is very slickand well designed. But, until it receives a dedicated iPad app (landscape, correct resolution, etc.) I don't think it's a great experience on the platform.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2025-04-27, version 1.1.3.53782*

Fantastic couch-op game, but please fix in-game notifications on devices that have Dynamic Island.

### 1/5 — cant change device

*2025-05-17, version 1.2.1.55040*

cant change my account to another device

### 1/5 — Don’t waste time till it’s fixed.

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.1.55040*

It’s fine when it works. But it’s an absolutely miserable experience when it doesn’t. And it doesn’t work a lot. I don’t have any clue what causing it to disconnect, then you have to dig through a bunch of screens on the console to reconnect. Then it’ll disconnect all over again.

### 1/5 — Keeps failing during 1st encounter

*2025-04-29, version 1.1.3.53782*

The app keeps getting disconnected from the game even tho the phone is still connected to the wifi. This happened four times during the initial ogre fight on the bridge. Kills any momentum and fun. If this is trying to be RPG Jackbox, it is going to need to be more consistent. Why need an app at all? Let people play directly through a site like Jackbox

### 2/5 — iOS 26 issues

*2025-10-09, version 1.4.0.56752*

Cannot scan QR code unless it’s the first time booting the app. Next launch it stays stuck on the QR code screen and doesn’t show the camera

### 2/5 — Fun concept but please fix the app!

*2025-07-21, version 1.4.0.56752*

The game is really fun, but it gets really aggravating to play. The app keeps disconnecting from the game for no apparent reason. iPhone is on, connected to wifi, no notifications. It just disconnects constantly. It gets to a point where it connects for one app interaction before disconnecting again. Basically makes the game unplayable

### 2/5 — Connectivity issues

*2025-07-16, version 1.4.0.56752*

Great game very fun but if a player checks a text while playing and disconnects from a session it can be impossible for them to rejoin. Closed and reopened the app, restarted the iPhone, restarted the game on the PlayStation. Nothing works.

### 2/5 — O co tu chodzi

*2025-03-27, version 1.1.1.52117*

Chciałbym dać więcej gwiazdek ale niestety gry nie da się nawet wypróbować … Odpalam grę a tu kod do zeskanowania więc gram na tym drugi sprzęcie i teraz sytuacja jest taka że jedno jest po polsku a drugie po angielsku o co tu chodzi  ja się pytam .. sterowanie też jest jakieś dziwne .. sorry ale NIE

### 3/5 — Fine

*2026-07-14, version 2.0.1.67430*

It’s a great game but it kept crashing. :p

### 3/5 — Need more ways to play

*2025-08-05, version 1.4.0.56752*

Love the concept of this game but needs to be able to played using a Mac for those of us who do not have a windows PC.

### 3/5 — Landscape mode?

*2025-04-29, version 1.1.3.53782*

I’m a quadriplegic so I have limited use of my hands. My tablet is on something like a music stand. I would really appreciate it if the app functioned in landscape mode.

*2026-07-30, version 2.0.10.71097*

Great game! Please try it yourself, please do add more characters tho 😀😀😀

### 5/5 — Amazing game concept

*2025-12-26, version 1.5.1.61832*

Love the idea and implementation, it runs fantastically and is so much fun!

### 5/5 — Fun and detailed

*2025-11-08, version 1.5.1.61832*

Beautiful design, somewhat simple, but very fun to play. I love all the details

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2025-10-23, version 1.5.0.60795*

Fantastic game and seriously an amazing way to utilize a phone as a controller.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-09-07, version 1.4.0.56752*

Having up to four players without buying extra Switch controllers is nice. You can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into this game! It's fun, and the hardest setting is really challenging, which my husband and I are enjoying playing through. We beat the game on the balanced setting and like that we can start again to discover new characters and strategies. It's a well-rounded game with fun characters, cute graphics, and excellent gameplay. I highly recommend it as a couch co-op!

### 5/5 — Świetna

*2025-08-05, version 1.4.0.56752*

Polecam!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-07-20, version 1.4.0.56752*

Doesn’t work on iOS 26 dev beta 3 ❤️

### 5/5 — Movement isn’t the best

*2025-07-18, version 1.4.0.56752*

Great fun game all around. Really got into it with friends. Just something to pick on is moving your character across the board can be a tiny bit challenging

### 5/5 — Intuitive and delightful

*2025-07-13, version 1.3.0.55712*

Works great. No bugs so far.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2025-07-09, version 1.3.0.55712*

Great app!
