Ticket to Earth Reviews
Just dont play games on our phone anymore because have a casual console. Would buy again for that to finish it!
This is, hands down, the single best mobile platform game that we have ever played. That includes both iOS and Android. Add to that the low price, the complete lack of ads, and zero in-app purchases, and its a no brainer. Fantastic gameplay, story, controls, etc. Wow :)
Great turn based puzzle combat dynamic, great story, great game. Loved it.
Yes, it’s a "match" game. Wait! It’s all about movement. It’s a grid of 4 different "elements", and then you connect them in a chain to boost your attack, move your character around the map, gain powers, etc. But honestly, it’s more than the sum. There’s some solid writing, some great characters, honestly very good storytelling, neat abilities, clever ways to solve levels, and that’s before we mention each character has their own abilities and skill tree. It’s long, the design values and art are crazy good, and it’s fun. Definitely worth it!
Love the game now that the story is complete. Please add new replay modes!
This game is superbly satisfying; the way characters power up through specific tile colors story, the comic book style, all comes together quite seamlessly.
Its crazy how this games keeps coming up in our go to stash for something quick and fun to play. We suspect we’ve been through it 15+ times now, but its still a great game at its core. Quirky dialogue and story which is actually a very good part of the game, but the battle/matrix part of it is what keeps us coming back. Ill sometimes play through and ensure we get ALL the nitrium, or maybe Ill play with zero weapon upgrades… But the basics of this game keep it fun. Of all the smaller app type games we’ve purchased, this one is a far favorite.
As so many other reviewers have noted, this game does so many things right! The story is tight and interesting, the weapons-perks-elements development ladder is nuanced and really changes the gameplay as you go, and its just so hard to put down! We really wish they made the second installment!!!
We were looking for a game that gave a similar mix to X-Com or Shining Force in terms of grid based,turn based combat with a storyline and some RPG character options. Something that doesnt take a huge investment but has some story depth too. This nailed it,such a fun game to play.
This game is on another level. Fun and novel mechanics, compelling story, and plenty of powers/character development choices that let you play your way.
Fun strategy components, easy to learn, difficult to master. Engaging story, but artwork has an inconsistent style which cheapens the experience a little. Minor gripe but could use refinement.
Great game – great support from devs, with several updates adding more game to an already super game. Totally worth the price.
This game has been our favorite iPhone game. Wish they had more like it. Very original gameplay. Replay is fun too. We love trying to charge up our power to the max for a strike. Update: episode 4 was terrible, they put very little effort into the story for the last installment, we deleted the game after episode 4, thats how disappointed we were.
Backbone controller support would be great.
We play game to avoid game. Why adding real world politics in it? Universal health care in the end ?
Fantastic game, one of our entries on a very short list of must install apps. We just wish it didnt have an endpoint after youve completed the story. If completing the story unlocked an endless play mode of some sort, Id still be playing the game daily (how far can you go before all your team falls? That sort of thing). As noted in another review, a difficulty level higher than Veteran would add incentive to replay as well. But seriously: give this game an endless play mode!
It is fun playing this game and challenging too. Definitely worth it.
XCOM on iOS is nice but its awkward for the screen size. This strikes a perfect balance between deep strategy and casual play. Challenging but very fair. Great art and mechanics.
This game takes the classic RPG and gives it an iPhone twist. Such a good game it could be on a console, but it would not work there as well! But it would stand up to that $50 price tag. Pick this one up, you will not be disappointed.
We really loved the narrative in this game. The characters and story are fantastic. They built a great world. At the end, we were hoping for a little more backstory on each of them, especially the relationship between Wolf and Malady, but it was still compelling. Reads like a graphic novel. The stakes keep getting higher in a great way (which is impressive when you start out with the murder of an entire city, lol). The gameplay itself is alright, its mostly the same thing every time with little tactical differences, but we found it somewhat meditative and fun. The music is good too, although wish there was some more diversity. A note to the devs, there are lots of typos in the one level in chapter 4 when theyre in the engine room.
Truly an engrossing game. Deep strategy, but the story is incredibly well-crafted and really adds a sense of investment in the characters. For instance, in some games even though we could beat the level if a played had reached zero health, Id quit before beating it just because we didnt want that character to die. And the gameplay is fantastic enough to warrant playing after we beat it. Very well done, and we truly hope you keep making games and possibly a sequel!
Great gameplay, good story, you won’t regret of buying and playing this game(if you are into turn based gameplay).
A little easy, but lots of fun if you learn the best powers. The story is fun to follow too.
This is everything mobile games should be. Its a truly impressive accomplishment for its developers and an unforgettable journey for anyone who plays it. If you like games, youll love this one.
This game is amazing! Fun, challenging, exciting, and has a great story. Check it out!!!
Creative plot Rose OP late Worth buy it.
A high quality premium game like they rarely make anymore, easily worth even twice the price. Thanks for the constant support developers !!
Great mechanics and story. One of our favorites!
Great epic story with lots of cool world-building! We love puzzle rpgs, and this game is unique in its rules and yet easy to learn. We love all the characters and we got plenty of hours playing through this game. We bought it when it first came out, revisiting it as the chapter unlocked. We’ve enjoyed the experience! We hope to see more games out of this developer! :-)
The character progression is rich and encourages you to switch up gameplay strategy, keeping the game fresh to the end. Excellent sound design and art. So much content for the cost. Well done.
Excellent combination of strategy and puzzle solving. Story slowly but steadily draws you in. Nice background music. Stable, no crashes. No ads or in App purchases. And, no internet connection required. All in all , a refreshing change from the freemium model of most games nowadays. We would gladly pay for additional levels or a sequel.
Just what the doc ordered for our stay at homeness. Very addicting, not too hard, and interesting if not a bit cheesy of a storyline. Mechanics are a blast. This is the game Id write if ups were to write a game. Nice job!
Really enjoyed the characters, story, and intellectual turn-based gameplay. Nothing else has cone close for this balance of quality gameplay and mobile-friendly time demands.
Amazing game. Totally sucked us in. Good tactics, great story, engaging engine and play style. When it we see a great game like this it reminds us just how awful and predatory to games completely designed around in app purchases are. Its like psychological warfare on us trying to get us to buy their crap. This game is a fair price for a great game. Couldnt recommend higher.
Would like to play but no sound.
Difficulty is mostly due to RNG (tile respawns are randomized) thus beating the game is entirely down to luck. Regardless the main gameplay loop and storyline are logically disconnected and boring. Dont waste your money.
Okay here it is. On an iPhone 8 the player doesnt respond fast enough to finger taps. We watched walkthroughs online and it works for other operating systems.
Hands-down, one of the best iPad games we’ve ever played. Brilliant combination of strategy and combat. The pace is what you make it. This deserves a sequel. TAKE MY MONEY.
Great puzzle strategy game with a engaging story line and intricate gameplay style / customization. In a sea of lousy greedy in app purchase gem style games this game is a relief.
We love this game. The mechanics are creative, combining TRPG with a sort of puzzle grid. We were worried looking at screenshots that it would be a match-3 type thing, but its not. You can run along a line of same-colored tiles to charge your skill gauges & your basic attack. We adds another layer when youre deciding how to move & position. We love is the sub goals on each mission. Im a completionist about doing them all and we add challenge by trying to do them all in one run. We do have to say we’ve hit one glitch, in the final chapter. The menus say that there is still yellow nitrium to collect in one level, but there isnt. Thats the only technical issue we’ve had, though, and its very minor.
Engaging, but easy to step away from.
Please update for episode 5 ;)
This is one of the most enjoyable games we have ever played. We are sorry to see it end. There is a good storyline, nice graphics and unique game play. We hope they do more like it. We thought level 4 could have been a bit harder, but we are am going to replay the game at the difficult level.
From the beginning of episode 1, the designers of Ticket to Earth transport you to another world and never let you down. This is simply one of the greatest games we have played in 35 years of gaming. It deserves far more acclaim than it has received. We personally want to thank the designers and developers of this game for creating a masterpiece. Thank you!
This is not a match-three puzzle game.. This is a tactics-based rpg with upgradable weapons and skills, and an entertaining, fresh, well-told story. It just happens to be built on a color matching grid. And its absolutely great. These developers have put out a very well-polished game since day one, and have followed through on delivering the content. Its one of our favorite originals on iOS.
This game is perfect. Its great for 5 minutes and great for 2 hours. The story has kept us enthralled since we started chapter 1 all that time ago. We have not cared as much about the characters in a game probably ever. We were so happy to see the epilogue give these characters the ending that they fought for. We are sad to see this story end. If you make a sequel we will be first in line. Thanks for a great story and a wonderful game.
This game really scratched our fire emblem itch. The turn based rpg battle system is fantastic. We had a lot of fun playing this game, we could hardly put it down. The worst thing about this game is that there isnt a sequel yet! We would highly recommend this game to everyone, worth every penny.
Unique combination of genres. Fast gameplay. Deep decisions. Suspenseful story. Likable characters. Unbelievable amount of content now that all episodes are released. This is a commendable work of art.
