★★★★★ Take a BOW! GREAT JOB ON THIS GORGEOUS GAME!
Tue Dec 16 2025 .Apple.Inc.I’m a developer of 15+ years and iv played just about every survival type game and yes some of them have kept my attention for long periods of time but this one checks 99.9% of my bookmarks and I would also like to state. I’m a huge critic when it comes to sloppy work, copy cat game past overs, and others alike. I have played the pc games you have published and you executed the gameplay, flow, and missions really well. I would like to see the story and mission progression be improved like there’s a story and feel that your driving towards. Funny because driving is my next deal. I’d like to see some type of gameplay that allows for drivable mining gear that also progresses like that off the gear and characters. That plus a story driven purpose for what’s the point of this all in the first place. Maybe even flyable from one planet to another but not just those same levels and not much different which you’ve done well with the mission levels when you brought out the escort levels. I was instantly hooked. I only wondered why you wouldn’t be able to actually use this as a mechanic and gameplay with the vehicle you escort. I play this game daily and the developers can check my time usage and know iv done my time and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STYLE OF SURVIVAL ROGUE GAMEPLAY AND LEVEL UPS. Now let’s see you take it to the next level. - this is not a sponsored Ai review it’s by an actual person. Thanks again for a great game!
★★★★★ A Deep, Addictive Gem, Worth the purchase.
Tue Nov 18 2025 Rempster_DRG Survivor is honestly a treat. I checked it out because I love Vampire Survivors style games, and I’ve always been a fan of Deep Rock Galactic on Xbox. As a dad, I download a lot of mobile games since I don’t always have time to fire up the good ol’ Xbox, so I’m always looking for something to scratch that itch. After a couple rounds, I went ahead and bought the full version. The trial really doesn’t show how deep the progression system goes, and I absolutely love it.
The fact that it has portrait mode is a huge win for me playing with one hand is often a must when you’ve got little ones. I also tend to judge games by comparing their price to a movie ticket: did it entertain me longer than a movie? In this case, absolutely yes. I can see myself playing this for a long time.
My only gripe is that the great graphics do hit the battery pretty hard.
★★★★★ Still crashing
Mon Nov 24 2025 JRodslegendNow that the game has mid run saves and is now possible to play on mobile, it really is a good game, lots to like. However the almost 50% crash rate as soon as you beat the final boss of a dive is unbearably frustrating. 3-4 patches in and it still happens consistently. At least no longer this means your entire run is wiped due to the saving, still means you have to play the last floor over, and I’m honestly not sure if it’s built in cheat protection, but around the 20x this game has crashed on that last boss kill, loading back into it has 100% of the time gave me nothing but the worst rolls possible, killing me multiple times or otherwise making it take way longer than on the initial run.
All in all if the crashes get fixed, this is a very enjoyable Vampire Survivors clone.
Also, the mobile UI needs desperate fixing, names equipment upgrading. No where does it tell you what it costs, what it does, and there is no way to compare equipment without unequipping both, and memorizing the stats. Auto equip also doesn’t take into account stats at all, just equipment level, which could overall be much worse even if higher.
★★★★★ Excellent game
Thu Nov 13 2025 xKakichanx“Why doesn’t even cost” and 2 stars for a review saying they’ve purchased it before on steam so they think it’s too expensive here…. Wow. Spoiled people thinking everything should be free. Anyway, the game is fantastic. Tons of replay ability and so far amazing content. One hand mobile controls are easy to use. Occasionally stutters on my phone but nothing so bad that it compromises the game at all. Great vampire survivor-like game. I’ve played about 6 hrs now and feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. For what it’s worth, some steam reviews show upwards of 150 hrs of play time. Pretty impressive that they’ve brought it to mobile. Pick it up, you’ll be happy you did. Rock and Stone!!!
★★★★★ Runs well, but poorly balanced
Thu Dec 18 2025 That other guy, me!The game itself looks great, feels good control wise, and is over all really nice! But the balance, at least in the first several missions is frankly horrible. Like it’s designed to fail until you’ve farmed gear just to pass basic levels. Swarms literally don’t feel any different than regular numbers, because they just infinitely spawn in mass constantly, certain classes are just better than others, and honestly the game does draw a lot of power from the phone
Edit1:The more I play, the more I see an extremely unbalanced game. On LOWER levels, constant swarms, and when the enemies get stronger it happens in seconds. Level 1 hazard should not be this insane. Beatable sure, but extremely difficult. Fix the game. It runs well but can’t enjoy it. The two stars are because the game looks good and runs well, until you have your screen full of enemies
★★★★★ AMAZING game, occasional lag spikes
Wed Nov 12 2025 eMac001I already love and play this game on Xbox and PC. It’s such a great Deeprock Galactic Spin on games like Vampire Survivor or Brotato. That said it’s got a buy the game feature, but I think that’s a PRO! This game is 100% WORTH $10 or more! The phone version of Brotato is SUPER annoying with ads.. and you can watch ads to reroll upgrades like 20+ times per round. Really ruins the gameplay. This one seems to have no ads? Going to keep playing to test more.
I will say the graphics settings are set to auto by default and on my brand new iPhone 17 Pro it has hiccups and little lag spikes intermittently, but not often. Noticed it when elites were hatching from eggs and a couple other times. Hopefully that’s ironed out. SUPER FUN game! You can try it out for free, and if you like it, pay that $10
★★★★★ Gate 1 completed sector 2 still locked
Thu Nov 27 2025 Puddincakes2nd Update: after the new patch I was able to complete azure Weald and then completed gate 1 only for sector 2 to still be locked. I don’t understand how something new is broken after every update. Don’t charge 10 dollars if you can’t get your game up and running smh.
1st Update: now I can’t play this level as the game just crashes. Seriously who charges premium price for a game and it can’t even run properly. This is ridiculous
I’ve spent 10 bucks on a game that is constantly deleting my progress. I used to get my progress back by relaunching the game when the error occurred but now with this recent update it’s gone entirely. Lost literally hours of progress with cogs and gear gone. My dwarfs are all low level again. This is ridiculous. I enabled the show save slots and there is no save slot with my lost progress. I do not recommend buying this game until they fix this issue.
★★★★★ Good game, horrible saving
Tue Nov 25 2025 royaleisatrashgameAfter last update I lost all my progress. I don’t recommend buying until they can not lose all your progress. Sad because the game play is really fun, just know your progress will disappear after another update. 2nd time it happened, and I won’t be back. Waste of money until they can fix their game. I can’t explain how frustrating it is to have hours of gameplay gone after paying for the full game.
UPDATE: since last update it seems like everything is working better with the save files. I raised my score up. Game is working much better. I would also now think it’s worth it to buy the full game
