Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game. Its unique. Definitely worth the money! Good job to the devs.
It bended us over and said are you ready to play this game we said yes Later our uncle actually showed us this game.
We've completed at least normal difficulty all the way through the four acts solo at this point. In regards to the recent Fourth Act Final Stage Boss, we haven't had that much fun with a boss fight in a long time. The experience just simply had too many qualities constantly supporting the much-needed effort. From great controller support to fantastic gameplay incentive, this game fused practice-worthy approach with a very respectable end-goal. Cooperative play is outstanding and there IS a community that plays. It doesn't take us long to find a full team, and often times it's a mix of new players and experienced players. There are difficulty levels to select from for each session(total 3, counting normal), so the passive perks upgrade system feels exactly matching to the challenging gameplay's demand. There is a wide array of settings options to give the player a fullest control over performability. Lastly, the setting, theme, style, character, and story are all really new feeling. It just feels too unmistakeably valuable of a game to not play, when we're still dizzy from just waking up to our iPhone becoming a hand-held gaming console over the last couple of years. Overall, undeniably solid Theme, exhausive Settings coverage, considerable genre formula, healthy community, and a superb boss fight to stand as remindrance of why gaming matters. Gunfire Reborn is a shooting star in the cosmic horizon, 10/10.
It runs immaculately on our iPhone 12 ProMax, fantastic balance of an addictive gameplay loop with deep synergies and play styles and tons of new things to unlock. It could use more variety in its level design, its not very unpredictable for a roguelite but thats just an afterthought that youll never think about when youre in a fight focusing on maximizing your damage efficiency without taking excess damage. In our 10ish hours so far Ive been glued to it and if they keep updating and releasing content it could easily go down as one of the greatest roguelites ever. Side not it looks most similar to Risk of Rain 2 at first glance but it really feels like if someone streamlined the Borderlands 2 combat system and enriched it with Hadess meta progression and weapon synergies. Awesome game.
The game is amazing and plays amazing. Just want to see a bigger variety of controller support options. The App Store says it can use MFi controllers, but after attempting with our BackBone, no success. Still, amazing game.
One question tho? It says that there are characters we can purchase Im seeing no characters that we can purchase just ones we can unlock. We would love to have more character options.
Love this game, played it 100+ hours back on pc an as far as mobile ports go has great on screen controls an looks/runs great but our only issue is not having any offline support an unless we skipped over that in the game info its not specified. Having it on the mobile is honestly amazing but the whole idea of portability is being able to play it anytime an anywhere and the idea of having to worry about a steady internet connection is a definite turn off so anyone looking into the game just know that out of the gate.
We read the description and didnt see anything about needing to be connected to the internet to play even single player. Had we known this we probably wouldnt have pre-ordered the game since we are often in areas that have no connectivity. Dev, if youre reading this, please update your description to include this information for future prospective buyers. It does make a difference to some of us.
Please add controller support that would be pog.
We have always loved this game on pc, and now we can play it anywhere. This version is really well polished and very easy to get the hang of, even for being an fps on mobile. Our only complaint is that it drains your battery but thats to be expected since its almost an entire pc game ported to mobile. Really good job! And as always, we will never get over how unbelievably cute the Crown Prince is. Thank you all so much for this wonderful game.
Game is amazing. Just waiting on the console release.
Gunfire Reborn was one of those games that really came out of nowhere. We found it on steam a couple years back and without understanding roguelites or being a shooter fan, we took a shot for 10 bucks. Well fast forward two years and we have purchased eleven (E L E V E N) copies on steam for our friends so we they can experience the fun and join in co-op. The transition to IOS scared us, but we were right to trust these developers. The same incredible single player game is there. The same great co-op game is there. We play with a controller but the touch screen controls are a clever way to jam in all the mechanics. Overall, this game was, is, and continues to be a masterclass in the genre and the epitome of early-access indie development success. Only thing even close that comes to mind is Hades (but we dont see them dropping on iOS). Great job devs. We hope everybody reading this buys a copy because these are the dedicated game designers that the world deserves to celebrate.
Touch controls are adequate. Great game to have on mobile.You can manually bind buttons but due to the timer on the button binding menu you cant actually fully bind the razer kishi.
Probably the funnest game Ive ever played on mobile.
Amazing game , bought it everywhere but on the M1 seems its only Ipad supported . Do you guys plan to port it over M1 silicon soon ? Would be even greater blast on the macbook.
Update: This game is so much fun! Plays like Doom meets Hades/Dead Cells. Great for short breaks, as the game saves after each area-level (just make sure you get to the leading screen, then its safe to exit). The controller set-up could definitely be a bit easier, and it would be nice to turn off more of the on-screen controls. Original review: Took a while, but we were able to figure out how to get the set-up going for Backbone. You need to select controller (either xbox or PS) and then configure mapping. It was kind of complicated to figure out. The game looks great though and Im excited to dive in.
So we gave this a 3 star review hoping to fix the issue with our Kenshi , but there wasnt one. Though it only says XBox and PlayStation based on it its XBox. Then you have to calibrate each button and control before you can use it. IT DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY CALIBRATE THE CONTROLLER. But also nobody knew that so the directional part was missing and if you mess up calibrating you gotta start over. Over all its a good game after the little set up.
Havent played this game previously and Im seriously enjoying it. Works well with 8bitdo controller (without touching any options or setup – it just works) but this is like the only fps we have played where Im really enjoying the touchscreen controls as well. We think the game is fun and the amount of options (tip: switch fov to 90!) show that the developers really put effort into the port. We dont have a bad thing to say and so it gets 5 stars.
Honestly its a really good port that really looks good just hope they add achievements to it and we hope they add the rest of the charecters we want mr lion man we have him in the pc game.
Been waiting for this one. Bought it as soon as it released early. So far no issues. The game runs great and has a LOT of replay value. If you like games like Dead Cells or Enter the Gungeon, this is in the same vain except as a FPS. We really enjoy the concept and take on the roguelike genre and am looking forward to continued updates.
Just started the game and notice when we use a controller that hiding the on-screen buttons through settings doesnt actually hide them. Frame rate is excellent at 60 and the action is fast and fluid.
Graphics is awesome and so far the gameplay is fun. Tried to pair with our Steel series controller but doesnt seem to work. Please update, thanks.
We have zero qualms with this game. Its very fun and worth the price. The only downside to this game is that you need internet to access the game. The devs keep telling people you only need internet to login and then youre good. What that essentially means is No internet = No game so we dont understand why they keep saying that. Aside from that though its perfect.
The home button and record screen button on the Razer Kishi are not mappable in this game. We cannot use our controller because there are not enough buttons to get all the way through the button mapping process. This game and probably the Kishi firmware have bricked our controller for Gunfire Reborn. Ive tried to calibrate all mappings and Ive tried to map the buttons individually neither work. When we enter the game none of the buttons or sticks function. We would rather not play this game without a controller.
Great game especially for mobile as of the time of writing (a day after release) controller support (backbone) would be really nice. The touch controls are really good. A little slow wonky depending but thats to be expected. Its definitely worth the price tag to be honest. Fun and fast paced and every floor is different with the loot which is nice. More levels would be great but we shall see what time brings.
Love love love. Please update more maps and guns.
This game is so addictive and rewarding, best game for a person who is looking for a really good rouge like game.
Incredible campaign FPS. Download it and play it over and over again. Its amazing.
We need 120fps guys plz add this.
We have iPhone 14 Plus. Great game, hard to save. Controls support is a nightmare. (Example, one day u b playin a level everything kicks butt. Then the next level u meet the challenge & u cant move forward. We beat the level just by moving backwards. Then next level comes u cant move left but forward suddenly works. . Dude we erased the game. Without controller compatibility, yeah works well. Maybe the best shooter on the apple market after Sky gambler.
Would be 5 star with updates. We dont have a PC.
This is a rogue like that should have offline play. 90% of the time we are playing by ourselves theres no reason as to why we shouldnt be able to play a game offline especially one where there isnt enough people online to even justify the connection.
Our girl and we have been playing this NONSTOP for 3 weeks now, and we got to reincarnation level 5. Still goin. SO FUN.
We left the game and came back. The game is still phenomenal in 2025. Whether using a controller or touch screen, the gameplay and controls remain fluid.
Ive played the PC version and its awesome that this is able to run so well on iOS. Amazing game.
This is the best iOS game we have ever played. It is modeled after the Borderlands series, but it is, in fact, so much better. We never have to worry about needing to pause and pick up later as it saves beautifully. The combat is fluid, fun and dynamic – the game truly never gets boring. Theres so much replayable content. We cant recommend this game enough.
Love the game but when we go on patrols and Im in the middle of the sea why would we need a internet connection if Im just trying to play solo we think its kinda silly cause if your a console or pc player you dont need a internet connection at all. Just wish you can play on airplane mode or with no connection.
Congrats! We really enjoyed this game. If anything we wish we had longer storylines and more levels! Thank you.
Game play is great, however the menus lack controller support and the controller sensitivity doesnt go as high fps should.
Since the mobile and console versions are produced by other people, the pc version gets its updates and we are left clueless as to whether we will ever see an update for mobile or console anytime soon or if at all. Console might as well be over, but mobile is behind by a few updates and hasnt updated in a while. We dont have a pc or the money for one right now, so Id like to see the mobile version get updated or given back to the original devs to be updated.
We bought the game, why are there pay-to-win micro transactions? Huge turn off.
Got this to play on a flight, has to have internet to play a single player able game, waste of money.
Game is good but we been waiting for an update almost a year. Will we get one.
Ive put 200+ hours into this game on Steam and was thrilled to discover it on mobile. Highly recommend.
Its like a lighter borderlands, endless fun. We wasnt sure we would enjoy not being able to keep our weapon drops because rare loot is one of our favorite game aspects, but honestly that not being the case took nothing away from this games enjoyment. Huge props to the creators.
Its a great game for sure has been for years devs can we get some more characters and maps PLZZZ like we play this on pc to we just be getting bored Ive ran through with all the characters and everything Id just like more to continue playing and not be bored. Just more characters more weapons and more maps hopefully u can make this happen just more content in general.AS always tho still an amazing game definitely recommend.
Make this game soly for Apple silicone guys cmon.
BEST GAME EVER PLAYED. WORTH THE MONEY.
Can you please add an offline mode we would love to play this when we dont have internet! Please.
