This is an amazing app and I have played it for about a year. The only thing I have noticed is that sometimes it glitches. One time 2 guards froze and I needed ones key but they were frozen. Only them. Other than that all I have noticed is that in jingle cells the metalshop job is glitched. I couldn't do the job because I couldn't reach the pressing machine no matter what I tried. Otherwise it's a great game. I totally recommend it.
Oddly enough, I feel this game controls better on mobile than on the console and vice versa with its sequel. The game is extremely enjoyable, escaping the prison in the least amount of days. You learn to get acquainted with the guards and the schedule to try and formulate the perfect plan. Fun to play and control. Worth your money for sure.
The gameplay itself is amazing, and the graphics make me feel like I'm playing a classic bit-type game. The only thing bad about it that I despise is that the more prisoners there are, the lower the fps drops. It's really frustrating, and I can barely play the 3rd and 4th map without it dropping frames.
This game is absolutely great. I have a few fixes and I know there is an escapist 2 but I just wanna say that I think you should make the workout buttons bigger, and that there is a glitch when you are too fatigued to read. It doesn't let you interact with anything until you have enough energy to read and when you do by going to the shower or restarting the game the first thing you interact with no matter what it is you will read. Pls fix and other than that this game is great and I highly recom
Has some great ideas but frustrating execution. Most of the game mechanics aren't explained. Lost about an hour of progress because of it when a prisoner hit me and stole 2 keys that I had spent an hour obtaining. The game auto saved immediately. These little frustrations are commonplace. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze at that point.
Nice and unique game concept, gameplay is simple too. Lotsa way to escape, lots of item to craft to help the character escape. I hope you enable player to gang up on guards with other inmate like I see in other version soon. (I saw it on youtube). Also a sorting system for craftable item recipe and a reliable saving system (not only auto-save) would be helpful.
Was really looking forward to this but the controls are really sloppy paired with the rest of the world working really fast. Everybody runs everywhere, super annoying to catch up to people just to know their name to see if you somehow lucked out by finding the person you are looking for. You have no idea where everything is, aside from when the green arrow tells you. No percievable way to map things out, where people are and where to start with your escape. Sadly confusing and boring.
I'm changing my review from a 1 star to a 5. The issue with my newer device not being able to run this game has been fixed! I completely forgot to fix the review... The game itself is fun. No ads, no bs, all strategy and fun. I enjoy this game greatly and the wide variety of options the player has to escape. Great game, keep them coming! :)
The gameplay is pretty fun and includes quality of life improvements the original PC version needed. However, the game's controls are difficult to come by, and longer you play, the more you'll come to realize that it's riddled with annoying, inconvenient bugs.
Hi! I really enjoy the game a ton. But I have a big issue, several bugs. Big issue ones (fixed with reload) - Unlockable hints not beeing able to purchase even though I have more than enough money required - Everysingle character but myself stuck, not beeing able to move at all - Permanently framedrops to 1, skips ~3secs But the worst one, constantly happening: - Heat raises when guards see you even when I participate the daily routine. Unfortunately unplayable at jungle prison.. ( Thx for fix )
The game is very enjoyable and it's hard to get bored while playing it but there's a few reasons why I think it could be better. 1 there is still no multi tool which Is weird because you added it in to the PC version so please could you add it for mobile. 2 the cutlery goes down in two hits while on the PC the cutlery takes more hits to break. besides the game is really good so keep it up ;)
The game is great everything works fine for me however if there will be an update I will recommend adding an option for turning off auto punching. Also when the auto punching is on, you cant bait prisoners out which is kind of annoying. Please make the fights take longer to have that escapist rpg style . Also please fix the fact that you can't fix "sturdy..." tools.
Great game, love it, great replay value. My only problem is an awful bug. If you are at roll call when you should be, you shouldn't get in trouble. When guards walk past however, they raise my heat as if I am wandering around. This has gotten me up to 80 guard heat from 0 and is hurtful to some escapes. Please fix. Thanks!
Too many issues for me to find enjoyable sadly. What persists through mobile and PC in both 1 and 2 is your heat rising while literally walking to the schedule as you pass a guard. It's infuriating because you can't do anything about it. There's nowhere you can hide waiting for heat to drop, again in any version I've seen; one misclick can ruin ALL your progress. Having to move my character slightly every. time. I browse the net. At least skill building is easier than PC on 1.
Finally beat the game and I love it. i love this game and it brings a lot of potential for other titles like this. it may need to chill with solitary a little but overall this game was the best paid game ever. I really think it's worth the money. The computer version, (the escapists 2) is better but for an android game this is top notch. the amount of stuff you can do makes this game 90% better. I loved to cause havoc in the cafeteria. I feel this game has the skill to be on a console!!!
One of the most fun mobile games out there. Is there a way that you could incorporate 1 level from the Escapists 2 into this? I don't feel like spending more money, but I've seen people play the Escapists 2 and it looks awesome, and I definitely would have bought the second one instead of this but I got this before the second one was out, and the second one is like this one but (somehow) better!
i would give this game a 5 star, the game the game is addictive just like the pc version. but its extremely laggy and sometimes crashes. i was playing the game normally and it suddenly crashed and when i try to open the game and play it all i see is a black screen. please acknowledge this, i can't play the game and its really enjoyable.
Played 10 mins and have to say there some problems. 1. The resolution does not fit my phone screen size and you can't change it. Also parts of the sides of the screen are cut off. And it's like there's 2 of the same games on top of each other but the bottom one is a little bigger. Its weird to explain. 2. Gets very laggy/drops frames when there's a lot going on screen. Fighting gets laggy making it a little hard to fight someone too. Even if it's just one guy. Unplayable do not recommend.
Now this games is good. Is very nice and fun and I am a soccer for games with 8 bit-32 bit graphics. I would give this a 5 star but it's not perfect but it's OK because there's always Room for improvement. I would really think it would be good if they Remove the bars on the Side. People who played this game know what am talking about. And the multiplayer's kind of Empty but that's not the games fault. Overall it's a fun turn based (not really) Kind of game.
Can we have multiplayer? Plus when you finish the game, if you don't have it, you could let people make custom bases and choose police or prisoner. It would be much funner! Maybe even get more people onto The Escapest 2 and the Escapest. Just some ideas you should add.
Honestly the greatest game I have ever played! Just one suggestion I can add, it would be cool to be a guard or Warden in the prison so you could get a perspective of what its like to be a guard/warden. Would also be great if there was a multiplayer mode for the game.
it's amazing and really fun, my only problem is I'm not good at it and I can never get pass shankton (3rd map I think) but I still love the game, I like to just wait for a long time perfecting different strategies, but I often get quite frustrated and end up uninstalling, but that just means I get to redo to progress and try new routes. currently looking at the tunneling one, that was my plan for shankton last timeanyway... anyway, it's great, I love it, you should get it to person reading this!
