★★★★★ "It's a good game, but this game needs optimization, there is a minimal lags after 2-3 levels but levels after 1-3 boss battle it's lags and freezes that game stops when I was fighting more enemies at once. I wish it's as good as PC version." - Gowtham T

★★★★ Zombie Zomb 5/2/2026 v1.0.10
mobile game apps could be awesome if devs didn't forget or intentionally not have settings available. funny thing is there is controller support, but no option to move the GIANT skill button. Also who plays like that anyway with the skill button just blocking the important part of the screen? refunded.

★★★★ P4T21CK K1NG 2/10/2026 v1.0.10
Really boring and below average in every conceivable way. The controls make you wish you never started playing games. the graphics if you can call them that are characters with like three frames of animation. Non existent story to go along with the non existent fun. Do yourself a favor and make sure it doesn't wind up existing on your phone or whatever you play Google play trash on.
★★★★ Phillipus Andre 1/18/2026 v1.0.10
controllers doesnt work. gulikit kingkong 2
★★★★ David Gilbert-Zagiri 1/17/2026 v1.0.10
so I really like this game but there's a problem when I play for about 5 mins its crashes and logs me out completely sometimes once I start the game it does the same thing I can't enjoy this game and I am pissed I even deleted it and installed its the same thing im just tired and ask you fix this or please refund for me

★★★★ Denis Penchev 12/20/2025 v1.0.10
no controller support for gamesir x5 lite
★★★★ Thoriq 11/16/2025 v1.0.10
for the love of God. add controller support. I am using gamesir x5 lite and this doesn't work.
★★★★ Ledion 11/14/2025 v1.0.10
fake controller support. and they answer saying they can't make sure all controllers work properly. well that's an interesting take taking into account most of the goddamn market that says it's controller compatible,they don't seem to have that issue,only you and your copy paste answer.
★★★★ Animesh Barui 11/13/2025 v1.0.10
I don't like this kind of game
★★★★ Gerard Reyes 11/11/2025 v1.0.10
I was so excited to play this but was disappointed that it doesn't seem to have controller support. Hope this gets updated (I'm using a gamesir controller)
★★★★★ Artic Wulf 4/24/2026
No visiblity on the expansion pack? too bad my review will be dropping as well..please understand
★★★★★ Ethan Mesecher 4/1/2026 v1.0.10
This is a good port and there's some nice pixel art in this game, the problem is it's painfully boring. It's basically a series of rooms full of enemies and the occasional boss fight. There's good variety in the skulls and items, but nothing really worth the grind of doing a bad run for, and if a roguelike is only fun when the drops are good, it's not a good roguelike .
★★★★★ Gowtham T 3/18/2026 v1.0.10
It's a good game, but this game needs optimization, there is a minimal lags after 2-3 levels but levels after 1-3 boss battle it's lags and freezes that game stops when I was fighting more enemies at once. I wish it's as good as PC version.
★★★★★ Giulio BB 3/13/2026 v1.0.10
GameSir Nova Lite doesn't work. Honor Pad 10
★★★★★ Hassan Mahmud 2/28/2026 v1.0.10
was hoping for an exciting game given the ratings etc. but pretty disappointed - the default ranged weapon/magic are weak/pretty useless, the physical attacks are limited which means that you have to play very defensively. Also you get no weapon selection for a given skull and the skulls at least early on the game are pretty useless and pathetic which means I generally stick to the default skull. give people some hook other than masochism to stick with the game - jeez...
★★★★★ Reroll Sama 2/18/2026 v1.0.10
no controller support makes it a pretty difficult to play port 😕
★★★★★ Adam Adolph 1/15/2026 v1.0.10
Pretty boring action platformer. Plays like a crappier and barebones version of Dead Cells.
★★★★★ Rangga Yudhistira Pratama 1/11/2026 v1.0.10
CAN YOU MAKE THE CHARACTER ALWAYS CENTERED? I CANT SEE MY CHARACTER IF HE IS ON EDGE OF BOTTOM CORNER SCREEN. HE IS COVERED BY MY FINGER. IT IS BAD UX TBH. FOLLOW DEADCELL, THE CHARACTER ALWAYS CENTERED.
★★★★★ Edmar Ronquillo 1/9/2026 v1.0.10
I like the game but it doesn't support my controller, which works with most mobile games with controller support. the UI displays the controls but it's kinda confused and doesn't work plus you can still use the touch pad controls which is weird. once you let go if it the ui goes back to the controller one.
★★★★★ Caleb Aguirre 1/6/2026 v1.0.9
I really love playing this game!.....however I recently bought a M-Con Mobile game controller and for some reason this particular game alone won't respond to my controller. I already tested this controller on other games, and it work.....please devs can you fix this, I really want to play this game on my controller
★★★★★ Joshua Williams 1/2/2026 v1.0.10
I think the premise of this game is great but the execution is not so amazing. everything gets harder faster than you get stronger
★★★★★ Michael Haymons 12/7/2025 v1.0.10
was recommended this game after I completed dead cells. said game was as good but it's not but I like it except my backbone want work with it on my phone. description says controller support. playing without controller buttons are together small etc etc. I only like games that I can use a controller with and this is not one
★★★★★ brainbox 11/16/2025 v1.0.10
