### 1/5 — It doesn't open 😞

*2016-04-09*

My brother recommended this game as he's been enjoying it another brands tablet, but it just doesn't load on my iPad Air. I have plenty of room on the device and nothing else running to no avail.
It looks great, wish it would work.

### 1/5 — :(

*2016-03-12*

### 1/5 — Doesn't load in 2016

*2016-03-02*

### 1/5 — Geht nicht🙁

*2016-01-03*

Leider geht es nicht auf dem 6s😕

### 1/5 — Geht nicht mehr

*2015-11-02*

Funktioniert nicht mit Iphone 6S, white screen nach dem Start

### 4/5 — OnEscapee

*2013-12-03*

В целом неплохой порт с Амиги, но порой сохранения криво происходят и после загрузки такого сохранения игра становится непроходимой из-за того, что какое-то действие не совершается. Так что почаще сохраняйтесь и непременно в разные слоты, а то придется многое переигрывать.
Концовка слезу вышибает прям))

### 4/5 — Flashback / Another World esq rocks!

*2013-04-15*

Just discovered this game and was pleasantly surprised with this AW type game. Beings back so many good memories. Thanks for devising this for iOS!

### 5/5 — 詰みました。

### 5/5 — Беглец

*2012-06-26*

FlashBack: Quest for Identity и Another World в одном комплекте, который отлично подали венгерские разработчики из INVICTUS. Великолепное интро. Потрясающее звуковое оформление. А главное стиль исполнения. В начале я прошел эту игру на ПК, а потом нашел ее тут. На планшете я открыл массу интересных моментов, включая скрытый текст. Открыл пару новых локаций в лаборатории и после того, как отключил газ. Некоторые компьютеры можно использовать. При правильном включении можно активировать ворота, чтобы перед тем как отправить на перестрелки со своим двойником - быстро зайти и восстановить здоровье в регенераторе. Сама игра просто супер. Но главного героя, Дэниэла, конечно жаль. 
Акош Дивиански (программист и разработчик игры) сказал, что они решили отойти от ХэппиЭнда в отличие от своих Западных коллег по цеху. 
За смешение таких бестселлеров как Flashback и Another World и подслащенной отличными сюжетом и сопровождением ЖЕЛЕЗНАЯ ПЯТЕРКА.
