Can’t read the text
I played the PC version a bunch and loved it. This seems like a direct port, without any UI modifications to account that phones are smaller than monitors. I’m on a iPhone 15 Pro Max and really struggle to read any of the text. The text is too small, the weapon images are too small, everything is too small.
Where are the other game modes??
I usually 1v1 my friend and have been waiting on the mobile version so we could just 1v1 wherever we want. Why have more gamemodes on pc but not mobile?
Horrible controls on IOS
It’s pretty much unplayable currently. Clicking any item moves it up one spot, dragging items from the storage tries to force close the app through apple controls. Constantly accidentally moving the backpacks around. Seems like a lazy port. I wish i could refund.
Great game but why am I facing the same literal builds multiple times during rank battles
I have over 100 hours of game play on the PC and platinum ranked on some of the archetypes gold on the rest, and the battles are a bit more randomized. I started playing this game on mobile and noticed that there are two builds that get thrown into the mix quite often every time I go past the tenth round win. There’s the infinite armor goobert and a golden pan that generates health at a crazy speed. Impossible to win against these and I’ve noticed that the mobile version, battles are ridiculously harder. What the hell guys? Are people cheating or do my builds suck so bad that they just can’t get past 10 wins?
Update Deleted Save
My initial review was labeled “almost there” due to the game being great, but a few touch screen control issues needed to be ironed out.
However, the last update deleted my save.
C’mon guys, updates should fix issues.

The game data deleted
Don’t waste money, had some fun with game but lost all progress warning others.
Latest update wiped my progress
Since there’s no online account the latest update wiped my progress
Unplayable UI
Do not buy this game until the UI is fixed. Genuinely baffling this was put up for sale. Cash grab at its finest.
Love the game, hate this port
Put tons of hours into this on PC. Was stoked at the prospect of a mobile version that I can play anywhere. So imagine my surprise when the game finally released and… I can’t read anything.
The text and icons are so small, playing actually hurts. They need to redesign the interface for mobile phones pronto.
Can’t recommend until this is fixed.

No balance
New to game and played for awhile. For most part I get completely beat up. Even first round battle sometimes has other player already with expanded backpacks and better weapons. For a novice player this game,e is absolutely terrible. Wish I wouldn’t have bought it. Don’t have time or patience to get good at the game.
Poor usability
Text is impossible to read. UI has not been optimized for mobile.
Terribly
It's impossible to play on the phone, the control is not terrible - it's not playable! Even if you want to connect the mouse, the game doesn't support it!
Having the purchased version on Windows and switching to Mac, you can't even hear the support there!
Thx love it’s game but….

Cheaters Ruin the Game
It would be fun until you run up against a hacked character that just destroys you in seconds. They need to have better over site on the game.
Cannot recommend due to poor controls.
Love the game controls make it virtually unplayable.
Review
Stats reset with every update - Quite frustrating
Drag and drop after this update is miserable! It was so much better when the app first launched, no each item move around way too much when positioning
No log in function to continue gameplay cross platform

Amazing on PC
I was so hyped for this but it’s close to impossible to play on mobile. Touch controls are so hard if your fingers are not transparent. The hit box on some settings are so small it’s like trying to poke a single pixel. Overall disappointed
