I'm really enjoying it so far. I've only done one run and the journey seemed to have multiple paths, and I hope to explore more. I do wish I could wind time back though, at a maximum of 1-2 days, to fix anything I forgot, like picking up money from the bank lol. I also have a curved screen and can't see the bottom right digit, so a curved screen detection and adjustment would be nice, but the last update was in 2019 so I doubt it :/ I hope my expectations aren't dashed as I delve further in.
I was just looking for a game without tons of annoying ads and in app purchases, this was well worth the price! Very well crafted, immersive and replay able game. The craftsmanship of the storytelling and visual elements are superb. I don't play many mobile games and rarely stop to write a review but 80 days demanded it. Well done!
Utterly brilliant game. Really enjoyed the story and the choices you had to make which affected your characters. Nice graphics and easy to understand game play. I made a few mistakes on my first to trys, but then was successful on my third. A very unique idea and quite addictive.
Absolutely amazing. So many cities to visit, so many paths to take, and people to talk to, and items to trade! And I love that even should you fail your trip, you don't get a "you lost" screen but rather get to finish your trip, and try again. I wish, though, that the game would let you drop it and pick up at any time. Right now, the game only gets saved at cities, so you lose progress if you close the game in the middle of travelling between cities.
Very engaging game. Only two technical issues I've seen, described below. I'm still giving this five stars tho. Really well done. My phone screen has curved corners, and I can't see the ones digit of the number in the bottom right corner. If I have to close the app during a narrative part of the game, the game is locked up when I try to get back in. I have to force quit and restart, and redo that narrative part.
One of the most compelling interactive fiction games I've played on any platform. The stories, and there are so many, are beautiful, funny, heart-warming, compelling, and memorable. The loop of the game, travelling between cities and countries and continents, purchasing goods, chatting with folk, taking in the scenery, and contemplating life as a simple valet, is a seamless experience. Once a bedtime story, now a seemingly-endless tale I can take with me anywhere, I cannot recommend this enough.
Marvelous experience. The graphics are nice and clean, with a really cool steampunk aesthetic. The choices/routes you can take are many, and so this game needs quite a lot of (unique) playthroughs if you want to see all it has to offer. Superb writing—greatly engaging, and it does encourage you to play through the game many times to see all of its possible routes. Overall, I really recommend getting this game.
Imagine a magical Choose a Your Own Adventure book that rewrites itself based on choices you make! That's what 80 Days is. The game rewards multiple playthroughs, opening up routes and events that*do not exist when you first begin the game*. Each city you visit is a new story. Sometimes you'll run into the same person, but only if you travel the route that allows this to happen. The game does not allow you to backtrack, so If you miss a connection, it's gone- like real life. Fantastic game.
This is perhaps one of my favourite mobile games, and the one that showed me they could be much more than bad microtransaction-filled garbage. Would also be great for people who don't play many games, as it's effectively a slightly more in depth choose your own adventure book, with all the reading that goes with that. Fantastic art style, high replayability, and very well written.
I absolutely loved it, the world has an incredible atmosphere with an almost full steampunk vibe. I got to visit many cities around the world including my own, I found the character interactions very compelling with several intense unforgettable moments. I finished my first game in only 69 days as I raced across the Atlantic ocean after having to sell all my possessions. If I had any suggestions it would be to have different difficulties. Other than that I would gladly recommend it to anyone.
A fabulous game, with a deep story to explore. I'm on my fourth play through so far, and each time has been dramatically different. There's a whole world that you only catch glimpses of, rewarding you for digging deeper. My only complaint is that some of the controls are a little touchy (moving things around suitcases can be tough, for example) but this is a minor hiccup on an otherwise great game. Well worth the cost.
My only issues were with the controls. Times I accidentally clicked on a selection that I hadn't meant to, but there was no way to go back. There were times I hadn't even read all the choices but just trying to scroll down to read them all and I had accidentally touched one of the choices and it moved on to another screen. Other than that, I enjoyed the story-line and played it twice...the second time I made it within 80 days. Hope there's more of these games with these characters!
Fun idea but too easy - I have played this through twice, the first time I did it in 72 days, the second in 63 days. I really like the idea but it isn't challenging enough to make it satisfying! I also find the suitcases really difficult to navigate - whilst trying to move things they keep closing because the swiping isn't calibrated well.
The controls are a bit rough. Your game is time based. You have to prepare suitcases and switching items to other suit cases is hard to do. So sometimes you miss a flight,ship,ect.. Because you can't move your items easily. Makes it frustrating because of the controls. You look on the map and it is super sensitive and hard to navigate. The game is enjoyable but the controls really impact your experience.
One, if not the, very best game on Android right now. Inkle studios hits all the right tunes with this adventure game. Every new game plays out differently and the game seems to be full of great little stories to tell. Seeing the adventure unfold in front of your eyes in such a beautiful way is something truly special. Thank you.
Superb text adventure, set in a steam-punk reimagining of Jules Verne's classic: "Around the World in 80 Days". Great world-building, plenty of replayabilty, and cleverly written branching stories where your choices actually matter. My only (very minor) criticisms are that the inventory management can be a bit fiddly) and it would be nice if there were achievements. But still, highly recommended!!!
(Ever read the Choose Your Own Adventure books? This is the game!) I didn't like this game at first. But I'm used to linear games where my choices don't really matter and the outcome of the game is the same for every player. But in 80 days, every action has a consequence and each subsequent option is based on those choices made before. I am coming back after playing the Sorcery! series and recommend those if you enjoy this game!
I wanted to get this game for years but never had the opportunity. Now, I've tried playing in twice, over a year apart, and it's been terrible both times. The social interactions lack depth, the random, thrown off course events make it very frustrating, and the saving system makes you lose tedious progress. As someone who loves choose your own adventures, this was a massive disappointment.
Great experience. I was a bit surprised in the beginning when I saw that the world is SiFi, but the creators integrated perfectly the new world into the realities of the 19th century. As a down size I finished twice in under 70 days even though I had been delayed on the way multiple times or take detours on purpose to make profit. Maybe the creators should increase the difficulty to be more challenging.
Really love this game! It has engaging writing and the characters are lovely too. Before, I thought the play time per round will be rather short but it is actually not! Beside, one route could differ a lot from another so it keep us away from being bored. So far I have played two times but there are still around many unexplored cities to be seen! I am excited to see more 😊
Love this! Almost every path is a different and interesting adventure. It's fairly easy to make it back in 80 Days I find, so the joy is in taking the most new and interesting way home. Beautifully written and a joy to play. Some minor interface issues in vertical mode but nothing too irritating.
This is a great game, I went around the world about 20 times, shortest time was 40 days completed. Trying different routes and making as much money as possible was fun as well, no matter how long it took. The text format is engaging, love the music and the choose-your-own-adventure format, which reminds me of those books from long ago. Some of the content though was pretty white-person-centric, I know it is the 1800s, but I was offended several times by some descriptions of people of color
Have always loved Jules Verne so I was initially enamored with this, especially with its chiaroscuro graphics. The writing gets redundant over time however. No exciting payoff to rehash the stories as the choices all seem the same with more or less the same consequences. Much better if it had a more challenging resource management, and mini games or puzzles to solve during travels that still fit the theme of the story and locale. Also, an online multiplayer mode where you meet fellow travelers!
A wonderfully written cross between Choose Your Own Adventure and the Oregon Trail (were it posh Europeans in airships rather than pioneers with disease haha). Tons of routes and characters, and it's really compelling; the video game equivalent of a page-turner. Unfortunately, the animations are VERY slow, which is frustrating you're so eager for the story to process. If I could speed things up this would be a 5, but the glacial pace interrupts the experience enough to drag my score to a 3.
Great idea, execution only so-so. Far too easy to accidentally skip important dialogue opportunities, and the game isn't clear about too many things. That along with playthrough taking only about 2 hours makes it a no from me. I'm just glad I got to play it through subscription, not having paid full price for it.
Outstanding game. A wonderfully written, interactive story with a deeper strategy mechanics that are not fully apparent straight away. I had a wonderful experience playing and look forward to many more play throughs.
I haven't played this game in a while yet it still sticks out in my mind as one of the best games available for mobile devices. One of the most interesting games avaliable on the platform, certainly standing out among other chose your own adventures for its unique style and setting. I think this could also appeal to many who wouldn't ordinarily play games on their phone to begin with.
I love this game. I especially love all the descriptions and I enjoy the reading, sometimes shocking, unexpected things happen and sometimes heartfelt or funny. I like the style of the graphics and the sound effects are good too. I also enjoy the rich world (perhaps I'll read the book in time too). However, it seems I am unable to share a playthrough. Something about being unable to connect to a server. Would be great if this could be fixed. Otherwise fantastic.
