## What is The Pathless?

*ATTENTION* Works with compatible Apple devices below.

From the creators of ABZÛ, The Pathless is the mythic adventure of an archer and an eagle in a vast forest.

Archery and Falconry

Become the Hunter, a master of archery who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness that grips the world. Forge a connection with your eagle companion and soar through the air. Perform fluid acrobatics and execute awesome trick shots with a unique archery system that allows effortless shooting while moving at high speeds.

Explore an Open World

Forge your own path through a beautiful open world packed with secrets to find. Traverse misty forests, lush meadows and snowy tundras. Discover the dark history of the island as you solve puzzles in ancient ruins and bound across the treetops.

### 2/5 — Ständige Abstürze – unspielbar

*2026-07-29*

Das Spiel stürzt ständig ab oder startet gar nicht erst. Ich habe es mehrmals neu installiert und verschiedene Dinge ausprobiert, aber das Problem besteht weiterhin. So ist das Spiel leider unspielbar. Bitte behebt diese Fehler so schnell wie möglich.

### 3/5 — Crashes frequently

*2026-05-02*

After most recent iOS update it crashes often. Needs update.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing..

*2026-03-31*

I’ve played this game through twice now. And I cannot get over the storyline, the beauty of the environment, the game everything. Like I don’t know how to describe my love for this game. Every time I finish it I don’t know what to do next. I wish there was more I wish there was another game to it, I played this back when it was on Apple Arcade, I remembered it a while back and actually bought the game and I have no regrets. After writing this I’m going to go back on and play it again because I just love the concept of this game so much.

### 1/5 — Endemic instability

*2026-03-21*

I’d previously played this on arcade, and loved the game. I bought it to replay, and the application crashes on launch >75% of the time. Even if I made it to the load screen, it crashes >50% of the time at this stage. Deeply frustrating.

### 1/5 — crashes in iphone

### 5/5 — Best game

*2025-11-30*

Right behind shadow of the colossus, The Pathless is my favorite game ever! I love the storyline, intense boss fights, and ambience. Five stars from me

### 1/5 — アプリが最初から落ちる

*2025-11-09*

面白いゲームだけに残念 対応お願いします

### 5/5 — You need to port Ico and SotC

*2025-11-02*

Having playing the Pathless on Apple Arcade, I dont understand the contention about the paid version being different.  It feels, looks and plays the same!  I do with there was an option to disable the autorun, as it gets cumbersome with accidental hits, and messes up a bit.  Otherwise, Im enjoying my third playthrough.

This is the closest we have to Ico or SotC, and Id love to see more!  What I would really like to see is a port of Ico and SotC, and I think this company could pull it off.  They have the gameplay and mechanics down, and all three share similarities in simplicity and mechanics.  While its an odd request, I would love to see a Pathless Sequel (or another type), or this studio  remake and port Ico and SotC onto mobile!
