Community Insight:
Totally recommend, no ads cant wait to play steam version.
We played this on console and the controls are surprisingly well made and easy to use on mobile.
It is very cool we have the survivalist but this is also amazing.
THE First escape is the best adrenaline rush ever.
Its a great game has controller support but one thing is after a few days the audio stoped working we dont know why but we have the audio up all the way we think it might be a bug can you please fix it.
This game is amazing it features so many cool maps and tools to craft we love this game.
The game is great and very good for on the go. It is very fun and we totally recommend.
Definitely Worth the $7. Multiplayer, customizable skins, free (besides to buy the game).
This game was our childhood we remember playing this with our older brother a long time ago good ol days now he is independent so anytime Im feeling home sick or we miss our older brother we just play this.
We hope the game releases some new updates :(.
Now, escapists is a very fun technical game, we adore the crafting system, and the pixelated design. The gameplay is smooth and simple to understand, and its only $1, so we cant complain about it. We really dont know what people were talking about when they would say the system was crashing and it restarting their progress. Of course, that was months ago, so the developers couldve updated it since then. We absolutely recommend this to anyone that plays strategic games, puzzles, or other games that have you to plan in. We applaud you Team17, it was worth it.
We got this game because it went off of our ps5 but then we saw it on mobile and so we got it. It is an amazing port and we have enjoyed thousands of hours on this game. This is one of the games that you can play over and over again.
This is the best game on iPhone, possibly best game Ive played ever. We love the concept of escaping. Bravo devs! Escapists 3.
Wheres the update? Its been a while since its been updated. Is there anything the game can be updated.
So the mobile is like the Xbox but on mobile.
AMAZING we love it. It like never crashes and its super fun and addicting.
For some reason the app wont load like we just here a timing beep and also is the game gonna time out or end if you try to outlive your sentence.
We think this is the best game you have ever made, and Im glad you fixed the glitch where when stand next to a desk with a hole under it would be considered uncovered, we also find it funny when the nurses come running in.
The game itself is great but sometimes the control are glitchy on mobile when we try to move sometimes the movement pad doesnt work.
Best prison game ever!!! Totally worth the money. Thanks for making it! Escape on, Escapists.
There is a game breaking glitch where it slowly will lag more and more until it freezes for good. When you exit the app when that happens all saved from the session are lost. Just quit often when you see the auto save. It will cement your save and keep it from crashing.
Our brother showed us this game and we got it on Xbox and we found out it was also for mobile so we downloaded it and we think its awesome.
Its a great game and would definitely recommend, but sometimes it freezes and most of the time it takes 1 or 2 minutes to unfreeze.But thats the only bad thing.Everything else is great.
We will donate $700 to team17 if you do.
This game is 10/10, but where is H.M.S. Offshore? We find it weird that it's not here.
We love this game, but it needs more maps. We would really really really like more maps. Please.
10 out of 10 game but sometimes it wont even let us play the game although its not doing it to our sister so it may just be a problem with our phone or it may just be affecting us and other people but if you could look into it we would really appreciate it.
Hello, this game is very fun. Here are some ideas that would make this game 5/5: Stats being saved for multiplayer guests. Thats it! Everything else is awesome.
Its amazing! Really fun! We kinda just wish you can make map editor into this.
Please make it so you can make prisons we would love that and send them online or even save and play them for your self because we really want to make a submarine prison and love the game.
This sequel is good upgrade to the og escapist the pixel graphic and art are amazing! We wish for online multiplayer on mobile, another thing please update this game also add prison from the steam.
Thats for letting us do what we want. Fantastic game.
This game is amazing keep up the good work.
By challenger mode we mean a player must craft every item in the game, keep all of those somewhere on the map and not get caught and also not causing trouble for example flooding toilets or taking others bed sheets or breaking the vents, yet if you do this you should make a crafting recipe for a storage box that can only be stored in rooms yet can be hid under a vent or in a box so that they can put the crafted stuff somewhere, and the reward for doing that is sandbox mode for the map that challenger mode was played on where the player has access to everything and can experiment with things and can summon guards or prisoner to them. You can add your own things to it but we thing this would add a little challenge to things, and could intrigue speed runners to play this for the challenge. We would like this alot.
Remember about the entire prisons like Ive beaten every prison we didnt know there was a prison like that and we do not see it in our menu we know Im playing on mobile but could you just please add that to mobile thats all Thanks.
We love this game so much that whoever downloads the game we will definitely do a five star you deserve a five star your game but now Ive beaten every single prison and theres not much more to do in The game so could you please like make more prisons because. Well Im gonna be honest with you we didnt get any of the DLCs we dont know where to purchase them but more prisons that youre able to normally play please we love the game so much.
Please add the walking dead one to please.
So we have an iPad Im able to download this this is tons of fun but when you beat every prison to us others not much to do other than play in the prisons cant do first because we cant find a way to have other people join but just like on the PC can we make our own prisons for any very fun things you can think of because when you be all the prisons you may have some more to do on different devices but on our iPads not much to do at all so please add more very fun things So we can have more to do.
Reason we liked it so much was because we have this game on our switch but we didnt want to carry that around with us all the time just so we can play the game but now its on mobile so we can play whenever we want where ever we want.
This is a game where you are put in a prison, and you have to find a way to escape. It has many things you have to do to escape, like studying, crafting, looking in chests, attending schedules, and many more. The only problem is that this version is lacking H.M.P offshore, and the DLCs.
This game is exactly like the escapist 2 for the Xbox and we like that because its meant to be that way but for the phone and tablet and whatever you could get this on. We also think its a pretty good deal because it cost $.99 for the game and would usually cost $5.99 on the Xbox.
We feel like you guys abandoned this game can you add all of the maps please.
We got this game to play with our friends and as we saw it, it looked fun but after we downloaded the game it was only title screen no actual game.
All they need now is multiplayer that expands state wide.
This is probably one of our favorite mobile games ever, and it would be 5 stars but it crashes so much, resulting in all our work being deleted to our last save. We know is just isnt our phone since we had the same problem on our old phone, and its still happening. If you fix this, then it will be a definite 5 stars! We 100% recommend.
This game is so fun, you should add a lite version to the game, where the versus is locked and u can only play single player.
Get it now, it is so good the escapists has really evolved since its first initial release of the escapists 1. The escapists two is one of our favorite games by far, with its variety of prisons and amazing animations! You really should try out the escapists 2 now. Along with everything else the escapists 2 includes a large selectionof customization for your character. The police outfits look amazing and the talking in this game is hilarious!!! This game is exceedingly perfect and for the third time you should try it out.
Its a great game, its fun and a great passing timer you need to download it and it has DanTDM in the game. Your welcome.
We played this game and its really fun and we love the concept of trying to go through the challenge of escaping prison, but it gets very boring just not being able to craft your own prison and put your own mechanics that you can use to make your own prison So that you can make it more challenging by creating your level and sharing it with the world so they can have the challenge too, we think you should add a feature so that you can create your own levels, you should also be able to add more features for character customization, you should be able to customize the character traits in feelings so that it can reflect how dangerous they can be, If it was higher, they would get into riots more frequently and they would also harm you and other players, plus the NPCs.These are some of the things that you should add to escapist 2. Thanks for creating a very amazing game. Thx.
Its an amazing game, but you should add custom prisons and the rest of the prisons.
