What real reviews say
★ Extremely buggy I played for 10 min before I couldn’t move ahead on this game. I have an iPhone15 so it may be something to do with a newer phone working on an older game. But it looks for enemies that aren’t there in the tutorial so there are no other options for me to move forward.
★ No Support This game has only gotten buggier over time. The elevation controls no longer work. Neither the buttons nor the swipe actions to change elevation are responsive. There’s no support for this game anymore, so it’s just stuck being broken. They got their money, and now they’re done with us. SHAME!
★ Game crashes after first mission I love the computer version, but I just launched a game on this app and after the first successful abduction mission, the game crashes. I’m on iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.1, and the link to support says 403…
