Could not be better and that is all we are gonna say.
The first good run & gun on the App Store. If you like run & gun games like Cuphead and you also like Halo this is the game for you.
The game is fun but it is not made by 343 industrys they own halo not the person who made the game.
In our opinion you should make a halo that is igsacly like the halo master chef collection but in pixel but you get all the suit stuff from it right away.
Your app says it works on iOS 12 but it wont launch on our 5s.
This is a great game. It is very accurate to halo, and it has grate old school graphics. Our only problem with this game is the ads, we understand ads is how this game makes money, but the real reason we didnt give this 5 stars is bc there is no option to get rid of ads for money. We would be happy to pay money for this great game to have no ads. If they simply add a way to get rid of ads for a fee, this game would be perfect.
We love this game. Our dad showed it to us when we were in kindergarten and its so fun. We finally got it years later and its still as beautiful as it used to be. Thank you for this game. Also can we put this spartan into super Mario bros.
Ive had this game since it first came out. When it first came out it had one song on loop, one area, and one mode. To see how far the game has come is astounding, the amount of weapons added, the new areas, the diversity of the music, the levels and bosses, everything is amazing! We are glad to have been here since the beginning, this is truly our favorite mobile game. Its what caused us to install Spartan Firefight back when it was still in beta. Even though the game has undergone some major updates that have made us lose all progress, twice. Its such a good game that Ive kept it and beat it every time. This is a great Halo mini game.
Everything is good except for the stupid adds. This game rocks.
Dobermann Studios, you guys rock! Ive been playing Runner since it hit the App Store and we were satisfied back then. Now, years after, the new content updates keep us coming back and Id continue to play even if theres never another one. Fantastic pixel art, creative usage of the Halo sandbox in a 2D setting, authentic sound effects, you absolutely crushed it. A truly faithful recreation of the Halo experience with a great spin for mobile devices. We almost never go in on in-app purchases but this has earned our contribution.
The mechanics feel a bit weird and repetitive. But still a fun game. Would definitely recommend playing Spartan firefight for a better experience, dont knock it till you try it tho.
Level 16 the add always freezes up and we have restarted the level 3 times.
Super simple but classic runner gameplay but with all the fun nostalgia references one could want plus the soundtrack makes it worth it alone.
For the only halo game we could find on the App Store, this is amazing.
Solo gano poco como 1000 crditos por misin.
This game is exactly what you see. Not much but simple and indicting. This game is great so people should see this game.
We love this game it has a lot of Halo elements and is pretty good! But theres a some bugs with the ads.
One of our favorite mobile games but we finished the mission with the Spartan laser which is kill 30 enemies with the Spartan lasers but when we finished we lost all of our progress.
Its really good theres no problem.
We need more music the music is very little or being allowed the sounds with our own music would be amazing your other game allows it we wish this one will someday do we too.
This studio did great on this game and we love it.
We have played 35ish hours on this game and almost have completed all missions on heroic and half of them on legendary. This game is probably the best halo experience for phone. Thank you so much for this amazing game and we cant wait to get the golden shotgun ty.
Just not easy but not too hard and honestly no words just epic.
Just nice halo And good pixel art.
So this game looked really fun at first, but then we didnt really like this game that much after seeing how bad the shotgun is. Which we think is the gun you start with and it has terrible range. You would literally have to have an enemy one space away from you to be able to use it against someone. So we decided to quit this game. We do like that you can jump on enemy heads to defeat them though. But thats about it.
Hi there, Just wanted to say thank you for creating this thing where we can stretch our mister cheff wings! Hip hip, hooray.
We cant even play through the tutorial and we get a forced ad? Im uninstalling this and didnt even best the tutorial. We stopped then and there. What a joke.
Tho we wish we can play as a sangheili.
We do really like this game. But after having it a few days it started to close on its own every time we try to start a mission. We dont know if its just us or if this is something that happens to a lot of people, but the gameplay is great. All of the different enemies are there from grunts to flood. This game is great and we wish it didnt kick us out.
When we begin the tutorial, it makes the game close out and have to restart. Could be better to actually get to play it.
This game made us jump when it came out, sense we cant get halo games in our ipad this popped up and we were so happy.
This game is phenomenal. It is one of those 2d runner games. BUT ITS HALO. The art style is spot on, and beautiful. It really is a dream come true for us personally. If you are a Halo fan, you will LOVE THIS GAME. We highly recommend this game, and Spartan Firefight Personally we prefer Spartan firefight because its basically a FULL Halo multiplayer experience in 2D. It has the flood, it has team SWAT (team swat is our life) it has FORGE. They are both so much fun omg. We have a $2000 PC and we often chose to play these games over any PC game. Im not even joking. Even with Ads on we love these two games. More than Halo Infinite. And we are an Og from Halo CE. This game really made us happy when we saw it has A STORMTROOPER HELMET. Halo x star wars. Our two favorite things. We ALWAYS add in mods for star wars and halo in basically every single game that has those two mods. Its our favorite thing in the world. This game has both of those things, without mods. Whoever this developer is, we LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART :).
Add a friend system where they can gift you lives and other various items ! Doesn't have to be "online" in real time per day but you know… Add some spice and an excuse for us to send this app to a friend ! Amazing for solo play… Could use that minor improvement !! Add chest and leg customization and this game would definitely beat Spartan firefight … This game has more appeal and replayability to us with the changing maps.
This game is amazing and is so much like the real halo game we absolutely love the graphics and how they can make the pixels look so good.
Its a great game to play when just waiting on stuff.
We were just browsing through the App Store to find a game that we might take interest in and lo and behold we stumble upon this. We downloaded the game and immediately fell in love with it. Very well done for a mobile game and def want to see more like this in the future.
However the only thing that we would like is a melee animation when you jump on an enemy.
Mission 21 is impossible to get all 12 marines.
Great mobile game for halo fans like ourselves. We really enjoy this game, the halo theme whilst playing this is just immaculate. We used to love Mario a lot when we were a kid so this a perfect combination. 5/5.
None of the other games can top this one. Thank you so much to the developers. This game is incredible.
Its on Xbox one but on here is free if youre playing this game make sure your playing it offline for no ads.
This game we grew up with and now Im so happy they finally have it for iPhone recommend downloading.
Its a great game and really fun Im also a big fan of halo. But its pretty hard can be anoying if in a bad mood.
The way the bubble shield flickers on and off when you have it gives us a small headache every time that we get it, every time we get it we scramble to get hit so that it goes away. Thats really the only issue, however we would like to see a more in-depth customization system like Spartan firefight, this would really improve the game.
This is game truly is one of the best games in the app store. Only issue im having with this game is the banshee lvl/map where u fly around shooting buggers and trying to take down the covie shields or fly over them but the issue is if the banshee runs out ur screwed cuz that lvl isn't meant for a spartan, it was strictly designed for the banshee. So either you're gonna fall in the void or you're gonna land on the land but walk off the edge cuz theres no other platform to jump onto. Which is why the banshee map of the run should be its own lvl or be fixed in the running part so that there is still a path of land (platform) for u to walk on as a spartan when ur banshee runs out. And that is the only issue we have with this game and the only reason we gave it a 4 instead of 5. Other than the banshee lvl the game is pretty amazing ngl. We would definitely highly recommend this for other players.
We tried playing the game, but everytime we press play, the game immediately crashes. Im sure its a fun game to those who can actually play it, but unfortunately, we are not one of those people.
We never thought this would be as fun as it is.
This is the coolest Halo inspired game. Its incredibly fun as well. Its simple to learn, but a challenge to master. Worth downloading 100%.
Im Ready How bout YOU!!!- Emile: halo reach.
