### 5/5 — I like it

*2018-11-01, version 2.3.0*

This game is super fun

### 5/5 — I like the game but......

*2018-06-08, version 2.3.0*

After I started playing for a while an ad would pop up and it would end my game so I had to stop playing.

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2018-05-31, version 2.3.0*

This game has a bunch of possibilities and is super interactive. 10/10

### 5/5 — Clever and Fun Game.

*2018-03-30, version 2.3.0*

Love this game. Shared it with my significant other and now he’s hooked. My high score is 670. My game completion is 100 percent. I had a lot of fun figuring out how events work. Very clever. Great job to those behind this game. I hope some day it’s added to or expanded because for now unless I’m competing with him for best score I’ve nothing left to do. Also I wish the game was a bit more choice based than luck based. I do like the randomness but I haven’t had a walking stick in my game the last ten or so I’ve played. I’ve had games where cold set in but no blankets were ever offered. Same goes for rain but no tent ever offered. I randomly obtained a mess kit and have no idea what it does… never seen it in a store. I haven’t found a purpose to the wheel barrow as I always have plenty of people to carry items or else no gold to buy extra items. Again, great game. Lots of fun. I was hooked for hours!

### 5/5 — I'm lovin it

*2017-09-25, version 1.2.0*

Have you had your break today? You'll get it now with this role playing choose your own adventure game. My friend Cole beat my score but I still play every day trying to best it.

### 5/5 — An RPG in your mind

*2017-09-20, version 1.0*

Who says that RPG games cannot leave room for the imagination? In Treacherous Trail you can go on a limitless adventure. Well... I take that back -- the only limit is your own creativity! From fishing in the Haunted Woods to having an epic battle in the Cactus Desert with your beloved teammates, everything in this game is done YOUR WAY, making it a full five-star game in my mind.

### 5/5 — Very Fun Adventure!

*2017-09-20, version 1.0*

The fun never stops. The adventure never ends. The story always changes. Yet, it's always a tale of friends! 

We like to choose adventures and we very like jesters. Sometimes we have multiple jesters. 5/5 Beware of sand monsters!

### 5/5 — Great Choose Your Own Adventure App

*2017-09-19, version 1.0*

Fun 'choose your own adventure' story. I love trying to find all of the characters to recruit!

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2019-08-19, version 2.3.0*

Dumbest game ever! Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — There is ONE problem it won’t delete

*2019-02-11, version 2.3.0*

It won’t delete. I enjoyed it but it was too easy so I tried to delete it but the x never showed up. Now I just hide the game because it’s not the best game. My iOS doesn’t even think I have it downloaded but it is downloaded. Please developers fix it. I feel horrible because it won’t delete help developers fix the bug

### 2/5 — Wish it would stop crashing

*2020-11-28, version 2.3.0*

The premise is fun, but I only managed to complete one round before the game started crashing. It doesn’t save the game so I’ve got to start over each time, and after the fourth crash I gave up. Disappointing.

### 2/5 — Low quality

*2019-12-01, version 2.3.0*

I like the idea a lot but this game is just too low quality. My main problem is that there’s no way to pause or save your adventure, so you shouldn’t even start one unless you have at least 35 minutes to finish it. Another issues is despite the number of members in your party, you have to make each one of them attack once per round, so if one has low health you have to send them out anyway. I stopped playing when I got a screen with no text and a continue button that didn’t do anything in the middle of a story

### 2/5 — Just doesn’t have a thing you can drive in.

*2019-10-11, version 2.3.0*

I don’t really like it because it’s just a paper.

### 3/5 — Is there more in store

*2021-05-15, version 2.3.0*

Conceptually, this is the kinda thing I am looking for, it’s free too and ads are unobtrusive. I have two complaints, one major and one more minor.

My major complaint is, it’s challenging to lose, in order to have a party member die I have to try to play dangerously. Maybe the combat could be more risky? Like, lower health values, but similar amounts of life given at camp. And rather than having to use everyone, you can try risking different characters.

Second thing is, I want more of what already is here, with more choices

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-11-15, version 2.3.0*

This game is cool but crashes everytime I start a story, so I haven’t finished one yet

### 3/5 — Fun but needs more

*2019-08-30, version 2.3.0*

This is a lot of fun, but I wish there was a save feature and a continue feature from the home screen. I typically play this while killing time but inevitably get interrupted and have to exit, losing my progress. It would be cool if there was also an option to create your own characters and roll their own stars, and a bigger list of monsters.

### 3/5 — Potential, needs work

*2019-05-24, version 2.3.0*

Definitely seems like a game I would enjoy, but their isn’t enough to keep me interested and the stories are short.

Longer stories, include pictures/animations.  Maybe offer a way for other users to make their own stories that others can also play.

### 5/5 — Clever

*2021-10-28, version 2.3.0*

As others have said I do wish the choices you make had more of an impact, it seems instead it is mostly based on luck. The game overall is quite fun honestly and shows that all these new games and all the crap they are filled with just aren’t needed to have fun. It definitely gives a nod to “The Oregon Trail” but I like that game too, even as old as it is. 

There should be more choices and options in the game and much longer play on each story. Otherwise it’s pretty solid if you want to have a little fun and kill some time. Give it a shot!

### 5/5 — 10/10 spectacular

*2021-09-02, version 2.3.0*

No adds, great story generations, and amazing character stat settings and development.

### 5/5 — Did you?

*2021-01-28, version 2.3.0*

Hey I was wondering did you happen to make this game with a group of people, and like ya know idk anymore but if you did please let me know because I believe this is the game I sat in and watched people work on and helped a bit

### 5/5 — Overall enjoyed this simple game

*2020-12-04, version 2.3.0*

This game is a mash up of Dungeons and Dragons with the stats being important on encounters. I like the different roles you may have in your party. A lot in the game is luck based and random to an extent which reminds me of Oregon Trail. 

This game is very simple with much reading. If you enjoy reading and using your imagination, then you’ll enjoy it. 

Highest score I hit was 737!!!! 😊

I gave this game a high rating but there was actual little I disliked about it. 

I hope they consider improving and expanding for this game because the concept was honestly fun to play. 

Thanks for a lovely simple game. 👍

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-11-17*

Simply wonderful

### 5/5 — Please update this game!

*2019-11-12, version 2.3.0*

I stumbled upon this game and I love it! Please update it! Give me a reason to give you my money. This is amazing. Most gamers are over 30 years old and this is an amazing throwback style game. It’s short, and repetitive, but it’s amazing. Do yourself a favor and try it. Then harass them to make it better. This is beyond awesome. Generating a party is fun, combat is fun, randomness could be better. This is a sleeper hit. They have a winning formula sitting in their laps aching to be spanked. I hope the devs know what’s up.

759 high score so far!

### 5/5 — Super good game!

*2019-08-14, version 2.3.0*

I love role playing games and this is a perfect fit. My high score is 601 and told my friend and he won’t get off! 5 star best game ever without a doubt.

### 5/5 — This is what I’ve been looking for — now add more, please!!!

*2019-07-12, version 2.3.0*

Absolutely fun, currently maxed out at 770 for a few weeks.  Please, oh please, think about picking this project up again and giving us like 1,000+ miles to work with. 😆
I’ve played through 100 times and barely gets old.

### 5/5 — Good game.

*2019-03-12, version 2.3.0*

A very fun text game. Hopefully there’s an update, very soon that either makes the game longer or more difficult.

### 5/5 — Loooove it

*2018-11-15, version 2.3.0*

It’s fun ridiculous and good time killer! Part Tunnels and Trolls and part Oregon Trail - totally worthy of your time!!!
