### 4/5 — Simple fun game!

*2023-08-22, version 1.2*

Simple fun game with really good pixel art and a neat little story. 

NO Ads ✅👏🏼👍🏼

### 2/5 — Nice idea, poorly executed

*2022-08-21, version 1.2*

It’s eh, alright. Good graphics, nice music. Not worth the price, though. I’m sure there was effort put into the game but it doesn’t really show. Sorta repetitive.

### 4/5 — Awesome game but has a slight bug

*2020-03-20, version 1.2*

so (spoilers) when you play as the fox if you die you can still move and because you can move you can ( if it’s spikes) slide and fall out of the map

### 2/5 — Not so great

*2018-09-20, version 1.2*

The game is good when it comes to game play and graphics but I have respawn issues. I was an all grown up deer fighting a giant snake boss but when it killed mevI would respawn in the dungeon as a baby and couldn’t  get out...

### 2/5 — Not Worth the High Price

*2017-06-30, version 1.2*

Lovely visuals, but the game is ill suited for touch screen controls. I also encountered several progress halting bugs, most of which involved becoming stuck in level geometry.

### 3/5 — Good but full of bugs

*2017-04-08, version 1.2*

The game is gorgeous and a lot of fun... except the bugs and quirks. The save mechanism and respawn is still a mystery... I was stuck underneath an alligator and couldn't move, so I went to the menu and when I returned all of the alligators were herons. Another time I respawned as a porcupine and was stuck in the water. There's just too many places where you can get stuck without understanding why.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2017-01-02, version 1.2*

Cool concept.
Like the game.

Could use an update.

### 4/5 — wild life

*2016-08-20, version 1.2*

bon jeu qui sort des sentiers battus 
musique idem

### 3/5 — Please Fix

*2016-06-30, version 1.2*

The game is great so far, and quite beautiful. The only things I have problems with are the controls are off and broken along with the barriers that don't allow me to continue playing through the game. I would hope to actually beat the game some day, so if you could fix the bugs, the game would easily be one of my favorites.

### 2/5 — Defectos (bugs)

*2016-01-08, version 1.2*

No se puede jugar en el Apple TV con el control incluido.

### 2/5 — The controls

*2015-12-26, version 1.2*

Although I like the gameplay, the controls, when you need them precise, sometimes stop responding. Like, you can drag left or right and your deer will just stand still and take extra hits from enemies, or I had one instance were he ran after a bush to eat by himself, without me actually making him get near the bush, and got killed by a snake. Or the swipe combat, being the only combat that works since the button is unresponsive, sometimes stops responding during combat. I want to like this game, but the controls being unresponsive make it it really hard to.

### 5/5 — Help

*2015-12-24, version 1.2*

I LOVE this game but there are two problems the first one is when you get the tree bark to give to Matilda the dark witch the tree bark does not go into your inventory but it goes away and the second problem that I literally just found is that I went back to my game and there was only this small piece of lAnd and the bushes and berries and stuff were floating off the ground all equal height but the weird thing is you run to the cliff at the edge of the land and you jump as far and as high as you can and then you fall down like you're about to hit spikes and the poof you are teleported back to the middle where you started you don't lose any lives or anything and you don't do the get up from laying down thing either you just sort of drop there like you were landing after a jump I'd like to see this get fixed because I saved my allowance for this game and it is on my list of all time favorite games and I really like it.

### 4/5 — Help

*2015-11-28, version 1.2*

This game is almost a masterpiece. I have been playing it avidly the last few days on my commute and have got fairly far along in the story , however I was exploring a small cave beneath one of those smashable rocks In the floor and I got stuck at the end !!!! I can't get out !! I keep dying of hunger and respawning back in the rock!!! Please add a revert to last save option in the pause menu and fix this bug ! Thanks .

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-10-27, version 1.2*

Loved it

### 2/5 — Buyer's remorse

*2015-10-25, version 1.2*

I've had this in my wish list for awhile, because it looked great in the screenshots but has a way above average price. Finally decided to give it a shot. Boy is this game dull. Lacks any real depth, super repetitive, very little to do, pointless boring combat...I wish I could get a refund. Save your money.

### 5/5 — Dear God

*2015-10-14, version 1.2*

I'm so glad you made this game. It's beautiful!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-12-08, version 1.2*

The attack controls are unresponsive and will get you killed within 5 minutes. The mixture of 3D animation and classic pixels is grating and gimmicky.
An ideal version of this game would have automatic attacks that can be upgraded rather than controlled (with the jump/move controls where they are now) and no plot or dialogue, as well as automatic "eating" when energy is low.
Don't waste your money!

### 1/5 — Leap of faith!!!?

*2016-04-16, version 1.2*

This game is just too frustrating!
It has no camera control so you can pan out and see where you're going, demanding too many leaps of faith, usually into a pit of spikes!

Shame as I love the art style

### 1/5 — Too glitchy

*2015-12-27, version 1.2*

The game is beautiful but far to glitchy to be enjoyable. I got it on Apple TV first and it just would not play right. It's better on iPhone but still has major problems.

### 1/5 — A title review

*2015-10-27, version 1.2*

This game is boring! It's expensive but it doesn't mean it's great. There are a lot of apps that are cheaper and better than this piece of cr@p. It would be great if this costs $1.99 or fewer. Unfortunately, i bought this for $6.99. The combat is also terrible. The description says "They made it better". Don't listen to that bullcr@p. I hope this comment is useful for you.

### 1/5 — Unfair

*2015-10-01, version 1.1*

Could they update it so everybody who had worlds in normal mode deleted could get them back. I had one deleted and I even been to ursulas house and killed the skunks!

### 1/5 — Falls so short of Superbrothers, S&S LP

*2015-09-11, version 1.0*

The controls are very buggy, even when understood: I have swiped in a very controlled manner many times in a row - sometimes I dash, sometimes I jump, sometimes I stay still.  I have no idea what most of the game features do.  Reincarnating as a porcupine is a flat waste of time.  How does a porcupine kill a deer (or why), anyways.  I am very disappointed, after my 8bit expectations were set by Swords and Sworcery.  Please fix this game and make it playable.

### 1/5 — I DEMAND A REFUND

*2015-09-10, version 1.0*

I WANT A REFUND ALL IT DOES IS GLITCH AND SPAWN ME IN SPIKES AND I SPAWN WITH ONLY THE BACKGROUND I DEMAND A FULL REFUND!!!!

### 1/5 — Hoping for a update

*2015-09-10, version 1.0*

The game looks great but runs poorly on the iOS so far. The game hasn't been on the App Store for that long, so I'm hoping a update will come out that'll let me get past the intro...

### 1/5 — Love this ga...oh it's crashed

*2015-09-09, version 1.0*

Continue just leads sky and a setting sun/moon. Disappointing, got potential if it would just work

### 1/5 — Beautiful and broken

*2015-09-09, version 1.0*

Happy to pay for a beautiful and well crafted game. Unfortunately it is so buggy at the moment it's more goat simulator than deer God. Getting stuck in vegetation or being unable to continue due to bugs is unfortunately common. Please fix guys!

### 5/5 — Awesome except for one thing.

*2019-01-15, version 1.2*

The game is awesome, but I have encountered a glitch that you jump really far and then there is just the outline of it, I was still alive but nothing was there. I could not see anything. It really challenges you to the top of your skills.

### 5/5 — spettacolare

*2018-07-31, version 1.2*

un atmosfera perfetta ed un mondo da esplorare infinito

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-01-03, version 1.2*

Incredible game! I’m in love

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-02-26, version 1.2*

The graphics are gorgeous and I love the plot. I only wish you could choose which animal you play as aside from a deer. Otherwise definitely worth the money

### 5/5 — Multiplayer

*2016-09-18, version 1.2*

I have been playing The Deer God for a year and I still love it. However, I was wondering if the dev could somehow create a multiplayer server like in the PC version? Having the two options of choosing to play Single Player or a random player in Multiplayer would add more to the game since playing solo does get a tad boring after a while. Perhaps you could invite friends by social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)? I hope you do read my review, thank you.

### 5/5 — The deer god

*2016-08-18, version 1.2*

Я меняю свой отзыв... Прошла эту игру 3 раза и она все еще на моём iphone. Очень нравится графика и музыка! И олень ❤️

### 5/5 — Very good

*2016-08-09, version 1.2*

Great art style, great story line, creative RPG.  If you liked Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery, you will love this.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ за идею

*2016-07-24, version 1.2*

Частые застревания в текстурах,способность молнии просто не берется(статуя оленя не загорается),нет выбора другого оленя,нет новых уровней.
Играть,и после смерти по новой "рости"-есть самый обычный бред!
Даже после прохождения игры,не каких плюшек не дают!Проходишь игру,превращаешься в оленя старца-и после смерти опять мелкий бэмби!Надоело!
Хочется чего то нового,других режимов игры...
5 звезд за задумку,и 1 за реализацию.
Симулятор выживания-это не то чего хочется видеть от такой игры!

### 5/5 — Please

*2016-01-09, version 1.2*

I like this game, I just wish you wouldn't lose all your powers when you die. Oh, and I wish you wouldn't go back to neutral as well. Other than that this is a nice game :)

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME ONE THING

*2015-12-30, version 1.2*

When you respawn the same size you were when you died DON'T RESPAWN in the lava or spikes you died in made me so angry please fix 😡
