Keeps kicking me off please add auto save for us okay?

Just so you know I love your game but it keeps kicking me off every 5 minutes or so, can you please allow us players to have auto save I don’t mind getting kicked what’s bothering me is i can’t save when I get kicked off the game. Please fix this issue 🥲🙏🏻❤️

Keeps crashing

Genuinely a pretty decent game but has a problem with crashing after like 5-10 minutes of game play. Otherwise it’s pretty good so far

Good

You know good survival things

keeps my attention

i love this game. i love apocalyptic type scenarios and this hits it. also keeps me focused and didn’t bore me! good job guys!

Has potential

Love The Wanderer and this game feels like it will have potential but still very buggy. Game just stops and I have to reload and then obviously nothing is saved. Doesn’t look like there have been any updates recently but if there will be I will definitely try it again.

Response from developer

Hey apologies i have an update on its way with some fixes. Anything specific though please feel free to join my discord where i chat to players about any issues. You can find the link on the save screen

Good but bugged

Not bad game to start off with but when I go up against enemy’s that need loot collected you can’t collect the item off them as the is no movement or button to collect from the body the only way I’ve figured to get around it is quitting to menu and then loading back in..
lowered the rating because you can’t seem to choose different quests either many bugs are now coming up please update

tutorial bug

would’ve been really good up from thewanderer except i can’t even get out of the first bandit…

Concept is there, poor execution

Prolly the most glitched game on the App Store. Inventory glitches. Selling all junk glitches. After battle glitches. Rename game to glitch survival

Glitched fights

Whenever I win a fight I’m stuck looking at the dead enemy. Very disappointing

Good so far!

Only minor bugs so far like a super large search icon, nothing game breaking.

Just one thing

After fighting I tend to get stuck and I’m unable to do anything but exit the game even though the game itself doesn’t appear frozen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love your games! I still need to try 2 others but I think they will be just as great! They are so original and unique! I love it!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Adverts ?

I paid for no adverts so I could use speed ups, fast travel and deep search but it always says “No adverts found.”

Okay so far

Still getting into it the game can be a little clunky at times and the interface isn’t exactly user-friendly/smooth but I’m starting to get the hang of it. I’ll probably resubmit another review after I played more more skill points might make it more fun.

Enjoying it

This deserves more than 3.5 stars. Only thing I wish it had in game is a second seller with a limited supply of bottle caps to sell your items. A custom house you can fix and make yourself at home

Response from developer

Hey thanks! Really appreciate it. Also as you upgrade the camp, more NPCs become unlocked and you can seel too. Go speak to Mateo :D

Even tutorial is bugged

Started the tutorial. Searched the pile. Being asked to select canned food, but none is available, so I can’t progress further. Deleted.

Response from developer

Hey so i have fixed the tutorial. Ive fixed quite a lot actually. Theres also a new update soon to be released with even more fixes. Apologies for these issues

I Can’t Play It

I absolutely LOVE your previous game, “The Wanderer” but this game doesn’t live up to it. During the tutorial, when I attempted to search the junk pile, it just said “no resources found.” I noticed the other reviewers weren’t having that problem, so it might’ve been just me. Also, when I tried to open my bag during the tutorial, the game crashed on me!!
I ended up just skipping the tutorial despite it being my first time playing. More issues occurred during creating my character. I was unable to change the skin tone very much in ways that felt natural, though that wasn’t a big issue so long as my character’s not tinted pink!
The big thing though is that I actually can’t play the game. Not due to the game being glitchy (though it is kind of glitchy) but because of the game crashing. After finishing my character, I wait for the game to load and then it crashes. I even tried this a few times.
In conclusion, I really do wish I could play this game, but many issues (as in the crashing) have prevented me to do so. I like the idea that this game is a 3D version of “The Wanderer” and if anyone reader this review hasn’t play that game, you definitely should! As for this game, who knows? Not many other reviews have had problems with the game crashing, so for people reading this, it might not be a bad idea to try “The Wastelander.” But developers, please try to fix these problems. “The Wanderer” is epic and I think this one could be too with some more updates.
Thanks for reading!

Hey apologies and thank you for playing The Wanderer :D. For this game though i do agree i've had a lot of issues and im tackling things day by day. I have a new update coming soon with more fixes and also an update i believe was released recenty with fixes. Please feel free to join my discord as i love speaking to players and getting their feedback. I had someone recently who joined and gave me so much feedback and ive just spent my last weeks fixing all the things mentioned :D

Good so far

Game is pretty good so far. Lot of details and good gameplay aspects for an RPG. Some stuff is a little buggy but for now it’s not impacting gameplay too much.

Buggy but good

Loved the wanderer and game this one a shot. While I enjoyed the game overall there’s just a lot of bugs that take away from it. The main one for me was my quest disappearing. All my side quest I got from camp would disappear the next time I returned and I wouldn’t be able to take any other quest from those characters. Once I got a quest to fix the radio and it just wouldn’t activate when I got to the quest location.
