The Survivalists™ for Negative User Reviews
✓ Unable to playMeaningless alert "change of user session, back to title screen". then stuck on the "title screen" forever..Version: 1.3
✓ Monkeys delivery breaks downGood game but the monkey delivery function stops which makes it frustrating trying to restart it and it doesn’t last for more then a minute. Would be great if this was fixed. Game crashes sometimes so save often. Good game other than that..Version: 1.4
✓ Loving it but with problemsI know a 2 star rating is harsh if you look at the title, amazing game but big problems, I am bow stuck on the loading screen on all my devices, so cannot play. Also I cannot play a multiplayer game with my son, for some reason it is blocking him from joining or even hosting.Version: 1.2
✓ Ok but...The concept of the game is OK but I quickly got bored of the very difficult and cumbersome control method. I have played on my MacBook which was OK but still not easy, however when I switched to the iPad, after 60 seconds I had had enough. This is unfortunately very limiting and the game will be deleted for this reason.Version: 1.2
✓ WhyyyI regenerated my world and forgot to take my multi tool. I can’t save. I regenerated because I want to restart. GUESS WHAT? There are 0 ways to make another world. One world that’s it. So when you regenerate the world and forget to take your multi tool with you. There is nothing you can without you feeling depressed next time because the people who created this were idiots and there is no way back to get a multi tool and the idiots who made this never even played this it is obvious that the creators don’t know who to make a game. Or if they do, they don’t know how to make sure ordinary people can actually understand. We didn’t make the game. We don’t know the shortcuts because we don’t make this. If I made this game I would give people the choice to go to different save slots unlike this game. Again made by idiots. NEVER NEVER NEVER GET THIS GAME MY HOPES FOR FIXING THIS GAME ARE GROUND LOW, AND I EXPECT THIS WILL TAKE 100 YEARS BEFORE THE DEVELOPERS READ IT AND FIX IT. SO UNLESS IT IS 2122, DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS AND WRITE AN ANGRY COMPLAINT LIKE THIS.also I have to put a star but you guys get negative 100 out of 5.Version: 1.4
✓ Crashes and loses all progress.On both my phone and Apple TV it has crashed a couple times losing hours of progress. The game requires saving manually but I always forget since there isn’t really a need to sleep which is when you can save. Most games auto save instead or relying on you remember to save. Finishing the bat temple for the first time the heading out side and the game crashes really makes me not want to play..Version: 1.4
✓ BG PlayWhile game and presentation are good, the fact that it mutes Background Plat is really irritating. 3/5.Version: 1.4
✓ Game keeps crashingI can play for maybe 10-15 mins before the game crashes and I lose all progress unless I keep running back to camp to save. Otherwise it’d be a great little game..Version: 1.2
✓ Great game, bad stabilityCrashes as you get more things, if you get too much stuff collected it seems to crash quite a lot - otherwise a great game and I wish they could fix the crashes..Version: 1.2
✓ Even more bugged after updateNow my son and i cant play together. it keeps telling me "change in user detected returning to main screen" and then i get kicked out. This game is not ready to be available to the public!! We are paying for somethng that is not working!! This is just not good enpough. Shame beacuse it has a potential to be a great game..Version: 1.3
✓ Great game but a serious problemI loove this game and it’s one of my favorites. The only problem I have with this game is the saving progress and monkeys. I had 4 moneys with me on a new island. Three were trained to fight and the 4th was carrying a chest. I saved the game through the menu, got off and then got back on the game. When I got back on my monkeys were all untrained. This had happened to me a couple times before and it’s starting to get frustrating to where I do not want to play this game anymore. One time when I had to retrained my monkeys I ended up dying and lost my materials on a whole new island. Another thing is that trying to train monkeys get a little annoying when other monkeys are close or on top the one you’re trying to train. I wish there was a way that you can make monkeys stay in a spot without them unmimicking their skill. But honestly that saving progress thing need to be fixed. Its very annoying.Version: 1.2
✓ This is was a great Game! Until...I started this game as soon as it came out on Arcade. And I loved it, and I played for four weeks straight. Four weeks straight, seriously. Then at the end of that said fourth week, I was playing, and remembered to save, which is the annoying part of the game. I’ll say now, anyone who likes Minecraft, this is the game for you. But the problem was, the saving. If you don’t save every 5 or 10 minutes to be safe, you can lose a lot of progress. But as I was saying, I had a TON of stuff after 4 weeks. I had everything gold I had explored almost every island, had two of the legendary weapons or something, and 20 monkeys, fully all trained, and I had gold swords, spears, and sharp axes. Then when I went to save, I pressed save, and then it kicked me out of the game. I went back in and lost 3 weeks of progress. I was back to 8 monkeys, a handful of nearly broken clubs, and one axe, and I didn’t have any thing else. It was extremely frustrating. I called support, and see if they could reboot my account, or maybe give me stuff I asked for. Nothing. They didn’t help. Don’t even start this game. I really don’t want anyone else feeling the depression and stress and desperation I felt, after I lost probably 60 hours of continuous work. I could have done a lot of other stuff, and I felt like I lost a part of my life I couldn’t get back. Don’t get..Version: 1.2
✓ Fun but needs some workI wish I could give this game 4/5 because it’s really fun. But I spent ages collecting treasure from different islands and one day when I loaded the game my mystery chest disappeared - no way to get it back. Definitely needs some bug fixes..Version: 1.2
✓ Good game unfortunately a bug festThe game simply refuses to host a game, impossible to invite anyone to a game, does not match me with anyone at random either. Solo game is OK, but it would be best if multiplayer worked. The game is not crossplatform either, if you buy it on iphone and xbox you cannot play crossplatform either..Version: 1.5
✓ Game freezes, Save corrupted. Had to start over.I’d been playing this game for a while and had progressed through multiple islands. The game starts to freeze after a while. I got good at saving after making any important progress (ditto other reviewers, the lack of an auto save is super annoying) but when it would freeze, I would have to close out to get the game to be playable again. This could happen multiple times a day, especially at night for some weird reason. The last time this happened I logged back in to see that the data in that game had been corrupted and the only option was to override my saved game. I hoped this meant that it would override the last save but NOPE it deleted all game data. I am deleting this game. That was way too much work to start again from the beginning. I suggest that if you choose to download, try to become less invested in your progress in case you have to start over..Version: 1.4
✓ BuggyLove the concept but sometimes monkeys stop doing tasks for no reason and need resetting. More annoyingly sometimes during raids the game glitches and you can’t get out of bed again.Version: 1.2
✓ Needs WorkI loved this game but there are some bugs that make me not wanna play. It crashes way too often and if you don’t save you lose a lot of progress. The biggest issue is the mysterious stranger just stays on the first island and doesn’t sell anything or move. He did before but after a while he just stopped so I can’t progress any further..Version: 1.3
✓ Hijacks all audio playbackStill hijacks all audio playback. I wouldn’t accept this on a PC game and I won’t accept it on my phone..Version: 1.3
✓ BugsIt’s an amazing game but it crashes anytime I go into it but the first day I played was fine can you please fix this also I really liked the escapists 1 & 2 and I’ve been waiting for ages to get this game but it was a huge let down due to all the bugs.Version: 1.2
✓ It’s okay but...It’s very cumbersome. For one. Crafting feels like a never ending chore and trying to multi craft a single item is near impossible. Now the good news is that the game does tell you a way to do it. The bad news is that it seems impossible to actually get it to work. So, when crafting. Be prepared to do one after the other after the other. While on the subject of crafting. Let’s hope you don’t need to make multiple twine rope, open the crafting screen, click on the item and...the crafting screen closes and you make one whole item...now repeat for the 40 you need for the basic straw walls for your base. Also, game bugs a little and tells you that new blueprints are available and displays nothing different in the blueprint screen. Saving. Is done manually and seems to only be that way to give the bed some kind of valid purpose and to also just...give the player something to do. Auto saving would be a great addition and should have been included but..the devs...haven’t thought this through correctly. So, make sure you remember to save. Tool bar. Too close to the bottom of the screen and when moving items around I am more often than not going into app switch view instead. Tree stumps. Devs... clear them entirely or let them re grow. Having stumps that you can’t walk through or build over is just annoying..Version: 1.2
✓ Good game not at all mobile supportedIt’s actually so buggy. my universal chest despawned when i saved my gave in the bat dungeon and it had literally all of my valuable loot. i can’t access it until i buy another chest and i’m not sure if u can buy two in the same world i have to go check but regardless it’s too frustrating. don’t allow monkeys to carry chests if you can’t handle programming how to save what’s in the chest that monkeys holding. it just shows incompetent development in a half effort money grab attempt at a mobile game port. it honestly just looks bad for the development team overall i wouldn’t want to come back to their games knowing the blatant bugs. additionally the monkey targeting in the monkey menu is inaccurate i catch myself having to attempt 2-3 tries in picking one individual monkey because it targets 2-3 money’s per click because they default into coming so close together yet the touch targeting registers in such a fat radius that it’s extremely difficult not to target 2+ monkeys at a time when you intend to click one unless you happen to be on an ipad.Version: 1.2
✓ Corrupted save slotsThe manual save aspect of this game completely ruins it. If the app crashes, then you lose your progress. Same story if your character is killed and wakes up in their bed in an awkward position — you can’t save at all, the game then crashes, and progress is lost. The final straw for me came today when I tried to load my game file. It simply said there was a corruption error, and the file could not be loaded. The game advised me to overwrite the file, but after having spent ages getting to the point I was at I’ve decided to cut my losses and uninstall the game altogether. I wanted to write this review to tell people what happened because it really sucked realising I’d wasted hours on this game. I wish I had known this was a possible error, as I never would have started the game in the first place. The whole thing wouldn’t be a big deal if the game wasn’t - as another reviewer aptly described it - so cumbersome. It takes so long to do things (crafting, walking, exploring, building, etc), and it’s not a game you can complete in one sitting. I get that the devs were probably going for a retro vibe, but unfortunately some things are retro for a reason..Version: 1.2
✓ Good but bugs make it worseThe game is fun and all but the app crashes and my monkeys will stop doing their task even when there is no reason not to.Version: 1.4
✓ Couple of glitchesTo start off on a good note, this games really fun. I would definitely play this more often if there wasn’t these few glitches. One of the glitches isn’t that bad, it’s when you get hit while crafting items. This glitch just doesn’t allow you to craft anything or touch anything; so just basically not being able to do anything. I found this out while being hit by a bat while crafting a rock. This glitch can be fixed by just exiting and entering the game. Another one is that whenever you exit the game while a tamed monkey that you have is holding a chest, I haven’t found out a way to get back the chest. I learned the hard way when I put all of my stuff in the chest. A minor issue is that day-night cycles won’t happen if you quit the game and load back in while sailing in a boat. I would love to keep playing but the chest disappearing while the monkey was holding it was just a major turn off for me..Version: 1.2
✓ Fix multiplayer for our kids!!!Can’t play with the kids (11/12 year olds)... fix this multiplayer bug please.Version: 1.2
✓ Deleted all my dataThe save file said it was corrupted and so I just lost all my work and it wants me to start again So then I go back to play it again and I died as a raid ended and the game glitched so that everyone I came back to life, a second later all my health would drain and I would die again 0/10 get it fixed.Version: 1.2
✓ It’s Alright, could be better...It’s a really fun game with an awesome 8-Bit graphics style which I really love, however the game mechanics are inconvenient, e.g. you have to use the crafting bench it mass produce items but still have to stand in front of the bench to craft them individually?? Then there’s the raids that happen only a few in game days after putting up walls. Resources are scarce and I’m not enjoying having to reload or restart the game to try to avoid constantly dying..Version: 1.2
✓ 5 star gameplay, 1 star reliabilityI’ll make this short. Love the game, could spend hours a day on here if I didn’t have to work. The game itself is not the most player friendly (meaning it takes a while to understand all the items and crafting) but once you have that down it’s insanely fun. You’ll never be “too OP” in my opinion because you don’t have armor so you can still die with all the best items if you play it poorly. I love that. And it takes many hours to find everything in the game, I still haven’t figured everything out! 5 star content for sure. Unfortunately, as I’ve noticed in other reviews, there’s a 1 star aspect. That is saving and crashes. I’ve lost 3hours of work, an entire island of exploration and many other things due to playing without sleeping. It’s a pain for me to build a bed when I’m exploring somewhere new so I forget sometimes. Assume your game will crash. And always have a bed for exploring. It’s a sad reality for this game right now. Ps: money could be better implemented, there doesn’t seem to be much of a point for it besides buying keys. And the 50g random items don’t ever really seem worth putting in your inventory because you gain plenty of gold by just playing. They should increase the amount maybe then it’ll be worth picking up. Hope my review effects something! Great game again, please fix the way game saves 🙏🏼.Version: 1.3
✓ Co-op issueI love the game so far, the only issues is that when I try to play co-op, like host or find a game, there’s nothing, and the game constantly says it’s in offline mode, which doesn’t make any sense. I’ve found next to no answers or others having this problem, and an answer would be appreciated..Version: 1.2
✓ Love the game But….So I love the game it’s so much fun but when I got it on my Mac it won’t load which is very disappointing. I hope they fix this soon.Version: 1.4
✓ Can’t play with my kidsReally annoying that this game limits the ability to do multiplayer with my kids. It says they can’t do multiplayer due to age restrictions. Very frustrating, since so many other games my kids have (especially from Apple Arcade) let me play with them..Version: 1.4
✓ Seems to be fun, but it is frustratingThe game in itself show the potential of being a fun survival game, but the controls, at least on iOS without a controller, are frustrating to the point that I am going to wait for a few updates. First, the combat experience. I have no idea if I have to face the enemy, and if I do, that is going to be incredibly difficult. I just read a couple of reviews where they talk about “hit boxes”. Maybe I have to touch the enemy on the screen? If so, the basic combat tutorial is lacking of useful information. Second, the monkeys. I want to see which monkey has a certain tool, so I select one, and it’s the wrong one, so I need to exit from the monkey selection interface, the monkeys go their way, I need to remember which monkey I selected early, and try to select another one. That is because there is no way to deselect the monkey. Is that really supposed to be like this? Sounds like a bug. Also the training. Good luck training a monkey to combat while you are being hammered by something. Other minor points are related to crafting. I am trying hard to teach a monkey how to craft, but believe me, it is not an easy task. Overall I would like the game to be polished, but at this point is more frustrating than fun..Version: 1.2
✓ Masterpiece but needs touch upsThis game is a masterpiece but there are a few problems that need to be addressed. First one is obvious being monkey controls. That needs to be refurbished with something more simplistic. Maybe instead of drag to select, implement a system to tap a monkey and or use the diary to select an action for them. Second. Hit boxes. I can’t stress enough how many times I’ve struck an enemy and they took no damage, especially boars. As for the attack action we noticed if you press it a couple of times there is a delay which causes you at most times to strike making you vulnerable. For instance, pressing the attack button 3 times quickly will cause your character to swing 3 times while spamming the dodge button only to keep swinging. We know the game has just been released and don’t get me wrong this is probably the best mobile survival game out in the App Store. Hopefully in future updates you will add more craftable items and structures. As for now a touch up on controls would be great..Version: 1.2
✓ So Mitch fun but I hate the raidsSome guys came and took out everything I worked hard on killed beanie and bob and killed me Also A glitch I slept in a makeshift bed After I had my luxury bed destroyed and when I later got killed I could walk around after dropping my stuff And after a minute I respawned but in my bed (like inside of the sprite ) I could not get up so I had to leave the game and lost progress... it went back on the raid though I don’t like the new a i Can there be a button to put it back?.Version: 1.3
✓ Fun eventually kindaIt's not a bad idea or game. Makes no sense at first. Complicated tutorial. Didn't expect a raid randomly and had no idea or warning there would be one. Save. Craft everything you can. Keep money around with weapons. Teaching mines to craft is useless. They only do it once and only if you manually out items in it so it's pointless. If there's an auto way to do it I haven't figured it out and played for hours. I only recently realized there are other islands around your island. You shouldn't have to look up how to play a game online to play a game. The game should be clear and concise that an audience younger than the target could do it. I have experienced the glitch where it freezes on you. Super depressed and angry. Hours of play wasted..Version: 1.4
✓ Come onI was using that special chest I got from the traveller to store all my items, a monkey was carrying it, I saved, then closed and reopened the game later and the chest is gone! I don’t know how to get it back! I don’t know if I CAN get it all back. Since it’s got some special ability to transfer things to a multiplayer game, I’m hoping if I buy it back my stuff will transfer to the new chest, but for all I know, that chest could be a one time purchase! I shouldn’t have to go through all this trouble anyway! On top of that, the game is prone to crashing so you have to manually save constantly if you want to get anywhere. How am I supposed to get anything done if all my progress keeps getting reset?.Version: 1.2
✓ Game keeps crashingI loved playing this game and spent many hours collecting resources and exploring. However, it’s crashed several times lately before I’ve been able to get back to my camp and save. This is frustrating to say the least. I’m not sure that I’ll bother continuing to play as collecting resources, then losing them all when the game crashes is soul destroying. It’s a shame, because I was really enjoying the gameplay up until the crashing issues..Version: 1.4
✓ Crashes!Lovely game, enjoy most of the gameplay besides it crashing rather frequently. Perhaps an Auto Save feature would help players so they aren’t constantly losing their progress as a result. Please fix!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Fun but crashes too muchGames crashes too many times now for it to be more than three stars. If they can fix the petrol crashing every 10 minutes then I’ll rate five.Version: 1.2
✓ The monkeys need work and auto saveOnce you teach a monkey you should be able to put them in say combat mode or collect mode...etc. It is not even fun to try to teach them stuff all the time. Also being able to hold only 1 item is not good. Let them hold a weapon and have a small backpack that you craft for them. Let them hold like 3-4 items and a weapon. Also trying to manage weapons on them is just rediculous. They break mid battle and then your done.... you have to run and hopefully can save your monkeys. Not sure how this has 4 stars. graphics are nice but gameplay needs work. Attacing is not fun. Its hard to just hit things with bow, spear....club seems to be the best. I will check back in a couple months but not fun to play currently. Autosave and maybe check points.....required! and faster saves.Version: 1.2
✓ My friends can’t load into my gameI love this game but when I host a game 9 times out of 10 they are stuck on the screen letting them know they can save or whatever and they can’t press okay. Pleeeeease fix this bug so we can play this together every day.Version: 1.4
✓ Worst save systemGames good, but I’ve lost hours of progress due to no auto save and the game frequently crashing, so bloody annoying. Not worth playing because you’ll just lose your progress..Version: 1.4
✓ Brilliant fun game, constantly crashing...I absolutely love this game, I can kill hours on it....except it crashes constantly. Devs need to incorporate some degree of auto save. The crashing has gotten so bad I cannot play through an in-game day without a crash..Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t play this game.The game crashed and corrupted my save and caused me to lose several real life days of progress, don’t recommend this game to Fxxxxxg anyone..Version: 1.4
✓ Stuck on load screen, many glitchesThis game has the potential to be a lot of fun to play; unfortunately the Apple Arcade version suffers from numerous glitches that cause players to constantly lose progress and makes the game almost unplayable. I wouldnt mind the “save using a bed” feature at all if it wasn’t for the app often crashing right before I’m able to get to one. I’ve poured hours into this game, yet have made very little progress due to the app crashing about every 20 to 30 minutes. And as of this morning it looks like I’ve lost all of my save data bc the app is stuck on the load screen. It’s really frustrating to have spent so much time on this game and to have been so patient with it’s glitches, only to now be unable to access my save file. I feel bad leaving a poor review bc I can tell that the developers poured a lot of time & love into this title. The game really does have a lot of fun world exploration and tons of potential. So I would definitely be willing to try playing again in the future and to update/change my review to a more positive one if the devs are able to get these bugs get worked out..Version: 1.2
✓ Multiplayer Is Totally BrokenSo, the game age Rating is 9 but it refuses to let our family play together. It will let me sent an invite but our children (all over 9) can not accept them. Would be good if you actually displayed the on-line rules, and made a note that its not for Children!.Version: 1.2
✓ Made me restart?I started the game yesterday ana’s it was pretty fun and u made quite a bit of progress and went back on the next day it made me restart from scratch.Version: 1.2
✓ It is fun until the game does things you do t expect.I was enjoying playing the game and had to get used to the lack of auto-save. There were a couple of times when I did not sleep to save and that got a little frustrating in the beginning when I was surviving bucks with a hand axe. All good, we got through it. I got better and had a stash at home of all the foods and gold ingots and everything. It was fun. Then I read in the app that you could give a monkey a chest and take it all with you! Awesome! No more super long trips there and back. I save the game and then went out. I fought a buck and won but had to leave the game. Saved it via the pause button and then went about my way. When I got back my chest was gone from my monkey and all of the things I had purchased from mystery guy and food I had prepared and so on. That was so frustrating. To do all of that and then lose it somehow for no reason?! If this is how the game is supposed to work for the “survival” aspect then wow that’s very realistic, but being that when I have a chest and save the game and then come back to no chest, it doesn’t seem like that’s normal game play. It’s a fun game but the saving aspect is weird or maybe I just don’t know where my monkey buried the chest?.Version: 1.2
✓ Engrossing game, but the lack of auto-save is a major issue.This is a really cute game, and very engrossing. It takes a while to master the controls, and the various aspects of crafting, building, cooking, and so on. Teaching monkeys to do stuff for you also take a bit of trial and error. But before long—especially once you start finding a serious supply of metal ingots—you’re up and running. For those of us wishing Age of Empires had come to iOS, this isn’t a direct replacement, but it has that kind of feel to it. It also shares some similarities with Outlanders, which is another good game. However, Survivalists has combat, which gives it an edge as far as I’m concerned. Oh, and of course monkeys; who doesn’t like monkeys! But a *huge* downside is the fact that it doesn’t auto-save your progress. That, coupled with the game’s instability — in particular on a first gen iPad Pro, on which it crashes every few hours — means that although I like playing the game, it also makes me want to chuck my iPad against the wall every time I do [whatever random thing triggers a crash] and I realize I’d forgotten to save for a while. I’d give the game a full five stars in and of itself, but the frustrating need to manually save drops it down to three stars..Version: 1.3
✓ Doesn’t feel completeThe monkey ai is terrible. Much of the time they have poor response or simply stop responding to commands. Every time you load your game you have to retrain all the monkeys again. Very little content and controls feel a step behind completion..Version: 1.2
✓ Would be a great game if...It crashes way too often and I lose hours of progress. Can’t do it!.Version: 1.3
✓ Does not work for multiplayerThe invitee's screen will show change in user detected, return to title screen. and the game just stuck at the loading screen, press space key does nothing. this is a terrible experience..Version: 1.3
✓ Cannot launchWhen launching the app, states it is no longer available even after deleting and re downloading :(.Version: 1.2
✓ Can’t play podcasts while playing.When I saw this game in the coming soon section I was very excited. It looks exactly like something I’d love. However immediately after launching the game I found it it wouldn’t allow me to keep playing my podcast in the background. An an individual with ADHD, this makes the game more or less unplayable for me. That’s incredibly disappointing. I’m not a game dev so I don’t know what goes into whether or not a game can have Spotify or podcasts running the the background but I do know almost all of the games I play do allow it. That this game doesn’t allow it is a deal breaker. For me it’s unplayable. So 1/5..Version: 1.2
✓ LostPlayed the game for about a month and loved it but I went on today and all my progress was lost! I was started over totally! Absolutely ridiculous because I know I manually saved before logging off. Don’t waist your time.Version: 1.2
✓ Cant play the gameWhen it says to press space nothing happens when I do it..Version: 1.5
✓ It is and was a good games but now you can’t play multiplayer 😭It is a really good game and one of my favourites. And I love playing it but now I can’t play with my friends anymore and it is annoying me a lot . It was my favourite game but now I can’t play it as much with the same enthusiasm because of it my advice to the creators is to add back multiplayer and lots of people would play more (including me) because I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Got Apple arcade just to play this in multiplayerAll reviews for this game state it is multiplayer for iOS, including Q&A on Apple’s own sites. And yet again…. doesn’t work on iOS. Even the game description here on arcade states single player. How about making iOS experiences better Apple before we all abandon this platform altogether, because currently iOS is a waste of time for gamers.Version: 1.4
✓ Won’t work on AppleTVPlease sort these bugs out! Really want to link all our Apple devices as a family to play this game as it’s a great game when it works which is a rare event....but it either completely won’t load or it gets to the loading screen and never progress further to the game. It’s very frustrating!!!! I have tried all the troubleshooting. Still won’t work!! Such a shame as this is a brilliant game..Version: 1.2
✓ Crashes ruin the gameGame has potential and seems fun however crashes ruin the game. The game either needs to run properly or have an auto save feature every few minutes. The crashes make you have to revert back to your last manual save and you end up having to repeat hours worth of gameplay due to various crashes which ends up making it both extremely frustrating and not worth while to play..Version: 1.4
✓ Cannot loadI wanted to return to this game but it wouldn’t load at all. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling and it still won’t let me in the game.Version: 1.3
✓ Solid game but needs workI love the content there’s so much to do but I have a few problems with the gameplay. First is monkeys doing damage, when I set my Monkeys to attack they barely do any damage, the only benefit of having them attack is reduced durability usage and extra stun for me to hit the enemy, I seriously think you should buff their damage a little bit. Maybe not as much as it used to be where you could have 3 monkeys and dominate anything but still enough to where they actually help kill the enemy in battle. 2. The secondary islands are very difficult, they have enemies that seem like they are for the mid to late game and when you need to travel between islands to progress , it’s hard to get a foothold when one attacks you and you can’t do enough damage back. 3. Npcs, I like what you did with npcs but I think a good idea is being able to make a shelter for them so when you visit them you can take them back to your base and keep them there without needing to travel within islands each time you want to talk to one. There’s also a glitch where a monkey will get randomly stranded out at sea leaving you one monkey down and it’s happened to me several time hindering my progress greatly. And 4. Just the saving times are way too long I feel like saving takes forever and since there is no auto save I can’t do anything while it saves, same for sleeping, it takes too long..Version: 1.4
✓ Cant play with my kids due to age restriction?Game is bugged. Wont let me and my kids play together.Version: 1.2
✓ Needs autosaveI played 2 hours and then it crashed and i lost eveything.Version: 1.4
✓ Crash bugs...Hi team17! I have been waiting for this game for a while and I am really enjoying it! Everything is good! Except two things. firstly, this game is riddled with crash bugs. So, I can be exploring a cave, finally getting my hands on some metal ingots and then the game crashes. These crashes are becoming more and more common (I.E, now it is crashing when I load up the game) so could you fix this please? Secondly, the saving system. It is very awkward to use and I was wondering if an auto saving system could be put in place. So, this game is good, I just want those things fixed..Version: 1.2
✓ Fantastic game except the crashing without savingIf this game auto saved it would be 10/5. The gameplay and character development is top notch. I love how the graphics are pixelated while still having good cinematics for battle and all around workings. The issue I have is the same as everyone else’s, the saving. You get so enveloped in the game that you forget to save every 5 min. It’s nice that when you die there is a marker and you can go collect your items…but that only works if you die. I’ve been playing this game for all of maybe 8 hours and I’ve had the pleasure of the game crashing before I could save…6 freaking times! DEVS: I can get over the lack of auto save if you kept your game from crashing all the time. If I have to save every 5 min to prevent a loss from a random glitch, I’m already over it. There are too many games on the App Store to waste time on a game that doesn’t have a massive bug worked out before they start adding more stuff..Version: 1.4
✓ Not impressedThe game itself is quite fun and cute a times. But the fact that you can’t even join your arcade family members online is just a joke..Version: 1.4
✓ Great Idea, Awful ImplementationFirst off; this game is broken on macOS Big Sur, it launches and then shows a white box you can do nothing but resize. Second, the controls are absolutely awful, and the UI is too small and annoying to use for long periods. Third, the game is too easy to beat in a short time, and you will only ever need to leave the starter island for metal..Version: 1.2
✓ Good, but commonly crashingI loved this game, but there was a few times when the game crashed, for example: I found a new island with tonnes of gold when the game crashed😑. I didn’t mind that before but what happened next, was even worse: I looked at my slot and it was corrupted😡😤! I was using this game for more than a month and got really upset when all of my progress was deleted!!!! Other than all of that, the game was beautiful and had wonderful graphics. So 3 stars..Version: 1.4
✓ Good foundation but too buggyThe monkeys are way too buggy for me, especially delivery monkeys. Now even restarting isn't doing it unless I delete a lot of blueprints..Version: 1.5
✓ The update is badThe buttons are in different spots, can’t figure out how to drop items, what is going on. Was loving this game until the update, now I don’t want to play anymore. Ruined!.Version: 1.3
✓ Good game but losing progress is so annoyedIt’s a really fun game to play. But it crashed several times and all the progress I made tonight were gone. People can really quit the game if 3 hours progress disappear due to the crash!.Version: 1.4
✓ Camera zooms in and out constantlyWhen ever you make movements the camera zooms out and in all the time. Can you make an option to disable that please? And at least make a zoom distance option to compensate for the disabling of it. The constant zooming makes it unplayable..Version: 1.2
✓ Multiplayer doesn’t work for child accountsMy children, all under 13, can’t play together. Other games allow it so not sure why this doesn’t work..Version: 1.2
✓ Amazing gameplay but lacking integral featureThis game is amazing and I have been loving playing it for the past week but I am writing this review to talk about the issue in there being no auto saving. Just today I spent about 8 hours grinding the game finally making massive amounts of progress just for my game to crash before I could save on my iPhone 11. All the progress is entirely gone now. In a game like this the inability to save unless you are at a bed and the fact that it doesn’t automatically save anything at all royally messes you up with how often the game unexpectedly crashes. The fact that I have lost all that progress leaves me feeling like I don’t want to play the game at all anymore unfortunately :(.Version: 1.4
✓ Can’t play with daughterDownloaded to play with my eldest daughter, but can’t join each other due to age restrictions (local play) we can play multiplayer together in every game i’ve tried since, but not this one. Shame, seems like a good game..Version: 1.2
✓ Fix crashes and update save optionsFix the crashes and add auto save or something tired off losing all my progress because of bugs , apparat from that mad game.Version: 1.3
✓ Unable to start gameI got this game when it came out and I loved it. When I saw it had been updated I wanted to come and play again, but I am not complete unable to start the game. I get to the black loading screen with the two monkeys/two goblins/skeleton pirate and the tips down the bottom, and the game does not progress from there. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but that hasn’t helped..Version: 1.4
✓ 😑Would be a really good game if it wasn’t for no. Working safe slots and the fact that it keeps on crushing - most often on Apple TV. 😕.Version: 1.3
✓ No longer AvailableIt was good when i played i was really enjoying it, though the controls were a bit lagging when navigating. But the main this is that the app no longer opens, it tell me that “the survivalist is no longer available” so i don’t know what to do about that..Version: 1.2
✓ Constant CrashesThis game would be a great time consumer if it ever worked for 5 minutes without crashing. Poor translation onto iOS means progress is near impossible unless you play the game with a plan to build a bed and save every 5 minutes. Which takes 2 minutes. So 3 mins gaming for 2 mins of nothing..Version: 1.2
✓ Very fun! Until..I would love to give this game 5 stars or more but twice I’ve played this game for hours on end. Out of nowhere after saving mind you. I have a message saying the last save file was corrupted and cannot be loaded… twice… after discovering all the islands, building up my base, taming animals, exploring all the labyrinth’s. Gone.. so much time wasted and I will NEVER get all that time and progress back. Not once but twice this has happened after saving. The second time was immediately after I regenerated worlds with all the stuff I worked so hard to acquire and bring from my last base.. x99hardwood slabs x99 metal sheets & nails etc etc.. I would recommend this to others but I couldn’t let another person experience such sudden depression like I have on multiple occasions.. I’m at the point of just getting rid of the game but it’s a great time killer. Maybe I’ll wait for another update 😔.Version: 1.4
✓ No longer available?Game won’t start, says “no longer available”..Version: 1.2
✓ Great until save got corruptedWell what can I say I thought wow finally a game I can sink my teeth into Ive been on it all day I made sure I had gone to bed (in the game)and saved before I turned my phone off to the jump back on after a movie and boom sorry save was corrupted I’ve lost everything I’m very annoyed to say the least it takes ages to build a base..Version: 1.4
✓ Fix the bugsFirst of all, I really like the game, but there are a few painful bugs and some UI issues. First and foremost, the game crashes pretty constantly. I’m playing on the iPhone 8 with plenty of storage, nothing running in the background, etc. I don’t have a problem with lack of autosave, especially when you can save anywhere in pause menu but when it crashes things can go really bad. Not only do you lose your progress, but monkeys become untrained and chests can disappear. Like literally gone. I bought a special chest from the trader and had a monkey carrying it with some really valuable stuff in it, game crashed, rebooted game and it’s just gone. Pretty frustrating tbh. The UI issues are; selecting/controlling monkeys can be frustrating, fighting can be weird if you spam the attack button and torch placement. Only other problem is lack of doors and gates unless I just haven’t unlocked them yet (which would be weird because I have almost unlocked all crafts and blueprints) 5 stars if/when these are corrected..Version: 1.2
✓ Downloaded to play multi-player with my daughter but error says we can’t due to age restrictions :(Having gone into Screen time and allowing all options in Game Centre the game still says “Online Service is disabled on your account due to age restrictions”. Shame 😩.Version: 1.2
✓ Multiplayer doesn’t workIt doesn’t work because when I tried to play co-op with my family it did not let me due to age restriction and it’s boring playing with nobody..Version: 1.2
✓ Pathetic, idiotic gameI had high hopes for this. I liked the premise, the setting and the old school graphics. Starts off well with some fun exploring, then it just begins to grind. Far too complicated. Makes no sense. Instructions are gobbledegook. Tiresome and repetitive. Frustrating, irritating, nonsensical. “I’m sure it will get better”... no. It gets worse and worse and worse. I deleted the app. Then reinstalled it so I could write this review. I’ll delete it again later. Probably the worst app I have downloaded..Version: 1.2
✓ Please fixI accidentally placed a blueprint on the floor and now I can’t get rid of it until I provide it with the materials necessary for construction.Version: 1.3
✓ Monkey glitchThe monkeys sometimes get stuck and dont do tasks. They also place wood on front of the campfire and it can not be picked up.Version: 1.2
✓ Great fun game but quite buggyIn every game I start, after a while the mystery chest keeps dissapearing, and Its so frustrating because the game is actually really fun. Also won't let me play in multiplayer mode for some reason. Team17 please fix this!.Version: 1.2
✓ So stupid I hate itIt keeps glitching on me!!!!.Version: 1.4
