HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (312 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ For some reason this game will drain my battery in minutes and overheats my phone more than any other game I've played.
★★★★★ Audio stack glitching on iPad Pro that eventually leads to no sound at all, except for a a couple swings. Earliest iterations of this glitch can be found 3 years ago on forums. Good game that I had elsewhere but this…
No customer support6%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There's no way to play with a keyboard connected to an ipad or iphone. Because afaik controllers are supported, and because a PC version of the game exists, I thought there would be a way. The game's probably fine,…
★★★★★ Can't move/play with a keyboard. Why would you disable that when PC version has it just fine?

No keyboard support

There’s no way to play with a keyboard connected to an ipad or iphone. Because afaik controllers are supported, and because a PC version of the game exists, I thought there would be a way. The game’s probably fine, posting this to warn others.

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026
Best

Great. No better word to describe it. The runes are cool, the bosses offer a challenges, the mutations are fun to experiment with, the lore is easy to understand, the character is funny and cool looking, the crossovers are nice because I have played hollow knight and it’s cool to see the vessel outfit and pure nail I there, even if the nail isn’t the best weapon, and the traversal is top-tier. The weapons are all unique and offer great modifiers (I love the pistol and the symmetrical lance) and it offers you a wide range. If they make another game, tell me the INSTANT it gets out, cause I will fork over my money.

★★★★★Sep 30, 2026
Flawless

This is the gold standard for mobile porting a game. I actually prefer playing this over my switch copy. Amazing touch controls, a blast to play.

★★★★★Sep 29, 2026
Epic

Just like on the X-Box. 10/10.

★★★★★Sep 29, 2026
Enjoyably Crisp

Wish there was more stars to rate this. Beyond phenomenal! Thanks !!!

★★★★★Sep 29, 2026
There is a big problem with the remote sensing setting!

The position of fixed remote sensing cannot be customized. The whole playing process feels like taming your fingers and remote sensing can't enjoy the game at all. What a great game this is! As a result, it was ruined by remote sensing!
