Wilderless Reviews

by MattB_2692273833

I was able to open the game once and start a world, but the game crashed when I jumped in the water and now crashes any time I try to play any world on any quality settings. This is on an iPhone 14 Pro, so it should be able to at least handle some degree of the game. Even the “reset game” option in settings does nothing to fix it. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Wilderless , and even setting the quality way below the recommended “optimize” settings but the best it got me was less than 10 seconds in a world before Wilderless crashed and I was back at square 1.

Unfortunate because I had high hopes for this game :/

Update: I set it to the lowest possible settings and the game runs (at least for the 30 second duration I played it) before stopping.

Love the open world concept. Love how you can change the way you jump and stuff. However I wish that there was character customization and I wish that there was a purpose to this game. It’s open world and you run around, but that’s it. You’re not collecting anything, there’s no goals. There’s no other people like a hometown village where you can buy stuff sell things you might find. The mushrooms don’t have a purpose and the big giant rock that follows you around doesn’t have a purpose either. Would be cool if you could hunt, and collect herbs, wood (for the fire) or to
Build a cabin. I mean you can place a cabin anywhere so that’s cool but it disappears when you get back in the game or when you
Build another one somewhere else. Would be cool if there was a map as well so you can mark your location and know where you explored and where you’ve been. This game has the right idea of open world exploration in the wilderness but it needs a purpose. Also, there are way too many worlds for a game with no purpose. Get rid of a few worlds and add the things mentioned and you’d have the perfect game. And maybe do add some enemies here and there, add a bow and arrow or a sword. Add giants you can fight and animals you can befriend to follow you around like a wolf or a bear or even lion or a dog. Over all this game is fun at first but running Around and not doing anything gets repetitive and boring really fast.

I have only been able to get into the actual game. At first when I tried to open the game, it would immediately crash and kick me out. Now, after I have been able to actually play the game twice (which was really fun mind you :) it now just won’t load at all, and I end up staring at the loading symbol for the longest time. I think it’s an amazing game, it’s just these issues that I think really need to be fixed. But other than that, I love the open world aspect of the game, and how it’s a very stress free environment that’s easy to understand while it’s also fun to explore.

I have to start off by saying this game has surpassed my expectations by a landslide! I would love if there were more options for the Character Customization, but I’m pretty content with what I have. The only main issue I have is that the game keeps crashing. I can’t play for over a minute without it crashing. I also think that more animals and a cabin or more homes/structures. I did come to notice that there was a campfire and I really enjoyed that. I would LOVE if the Shrooms had a purpose? Maybe I’m missing something but if they could lead you to a secret house, cottage, lagoon, pond, lake or forest would be AMAZING. But the graphics are beautiful and I love the concept of an open world exploration game. Keep up the good work!

I love love love this game. So worth the price. I just wish the character customization was a bit better with choosing clothes and accessories. Also I wish we could despawn animals because when you transform the animals you were previously are gone. Also I wish you could like make food and make soup and meat plates and bowls and I sort of wish that we could have an animal companion. Or have a backpack with a bunch of roleplay tools like weapons, tools, food, vehicles (carriages, boats, etc) and other stuff. That would be so cool! I know it’s very hard to develop a game like this. The graphics are so beautiful and the music just puts icing on the cake. This is my new favorite game!!

When I first downloaded this game, my impression of it was amazing. Smooth and very diverse graphics, lots of open space and some neat customization. I wish there was a little more to do however, because it would make me a little more invested in the game. Please keep developing this game further because it will definitely attract more players over time!

by Moth Lad

Very very big problem for me: crashing. It crashes so much, I can rarely spend 10 minutes in the game without crashing. I try to make it stop by reducing the graphics, but no! Just keeps crashing. Can't stop it. Thank you for reading this and please fix this problem.

Suggestion : Add customization to creatures. Just a little bit like changing eye color or something else is fine. Or add another creature maybe?

by Toca Boca's Glitch

I love this game I just wish there was more customization options for one with the character. Yes you are able to change the color of your hair but what about those specific styles but also with the houses and all that I think it would be really cool to be able to build your own type of thing, another thing that would be cool is adding a civilization that would randomly come up kind of similar to how Minecraft either way, this game is really cool

I work for a company that has iOS apps, not games mind you, but I know what goes into developing to an extent and it’s not easy. I have been a fan of this developer for years now. It’s the most beautiful content I’ve ever seen. How someone has not grabbed him up has to be his choice. I will buy anything he publishes just to support in anyway I can. I can’t wait to show my grandson this one because I think he will love it! IMO this is the best developer in Wilderless Store. The detail in these apps is just incredible. This is a one man shop and it still amazes me years later. Thank you for such beautiful apps. To the developer if you adde in app purchases I would fully support it.

by Wert📕🔖📙📙

I am writing a review again because I have a few suggestions. Maybe you could add more animals ( and if you do add in more animals PLEASE add in foxes I love foxes! And maybe you could add more animals to shape change into. ( like foxes and butterflies and maybe a dragon ) you don’t have to do this if it puts to much stress on you it’s just suggestions. I’d love to try out your other games but I’m only ten and I can’t get another game until like.... 4 months because of that in app purchase thing.

I almost never leave reviews for IOS games. They’re usually just amusing time wasters. This game really captured my imagination. It’s essentially an endless runner without any of the stress. You just wander and explore (and given how many of us are kind of trapped without much to do this game offers an incredible escape).

One thing I’d love to see - collectibles hidden around the world to be used to decorate your home. But otherwise - a wonderful diversion during a very difficult time.

To the dev - *very* well done!

I love that it’s so open and you can go anywhere. The views are beautiful. I like being able to setup a shelter and a fire. Something about it is tranquil and relaxing. Can we adjust the run speed? I think the character runs too fast and it kind of adds this urgency that doesn’t need to be there. Keep it up, looking forward to more updates. I’ve bout your other games too.

Edit: I found a bug, when loading my game I spawned in the water under the ice and got stuck. I was able to turn the ice off in the setting to get out finally.

I came to know your beautiful works through performance benchmarks of mobile devices via Bright Ridge. Paid $3 for Wilderness and it’s worth the money. A slight issue I’ve had is the raining situation when the character is under water. Raining outside seems to have stopped once the character is fully under water and only starts once again once the character pops up. A bit inconsistent there. Maybe a it’s processing power thing? Oh, and, it can be really great if you enable Apple Silicon Mac support and add high refresh rate support for your games. Can be a great time killer from work and one can finally crank all the settings up to enjoy your beautiful work on news Macs with more GPU cores, say, an M1 Max MBP with that beautiful 120Hz panel. Nevertheless, great job Robert for a solo work!

This is great! Wow! Love the game! The graphics are beautiful! This is a beautiful game. I finally got what I expected!
After the update the game kept crashing though, and it was annoying. Also whenever I take a picture it can also crash. Even when I’m just flying around and hit the picture button. Now it seems better but it’s annoying when that happens. The mushrooms. If you build a house and then leave your person there and go running around as a horse or something, later you can find a mushroom and follow it back. But maybe they can lead you to some secret places too. That would be cool. Like a cottage or pond or something like that. Maybe like a place where it’s like all like glowing with mushrooms and stuff.
And— well. I don’t know if this is necessary but it would be cool if you could shape change into a dragon. And there could be a white and green and red dragon. I don’t know. Also so the dragon could walk on land and fly.
Otherwise the game is awesome. Keep up the fabulous work!

Hi, I have been a fan of Protopop games for, well, since I played BrightRidge! They are consistently amazing, and I would recommend that anyone even remotely considering getting get it. You won’t regret it. Anyway, this part is to Protopop, (sorry, I don’t know your actual name.) this app is amazing, sort of like a Breath of The Wild for mobile, but I would like it if there was some indication of when you think that the other phases are going to come out. Sorry if this seems rude, and I understand if that that isn’t possible for some reason. Another new thing I really like is the ability to fly with my cape. Anyway, keep up the good work!

by CharleyJoe

I’m blown away by this new update! Everything promised in this update is here, and more! I love the character creator and the 4 different shelters. I had a blast chilling out in my tent while watching the rain. I’m going back to play more, but wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for an amazing update! Anything beyond this is just icing on the cake! Thanks so much for such outstanding work. You are blessed with a very creative mind and I thank you for sharing it with us! This is by far the most chilled out “game” I’ve ever played. It’s more of an alternate reality than a game, and succeeds on every level! This is a true work of passion and a masterpiece!

Love this game. I think this has so much to offer. Suggestions: Add stars and meteors to the night sky. More fun would be an Aurora. Add simple gathering abilities. I did not see fish while swimming under water nor other birds while flying. Add wildlife to explore. Add forgeable foods like fruits, nuts, berries, mushrooms and plants. Include fish as a transformable option.
I’ve been looking for a game that is based on basic survival. This game is very close. To explore and find a suitable environment to enjoy is so much fun. Create a comping/basic survival scenario, this game will become highly popular very quickly. Thank you for this game. I look forward to seeing it evolve. 👍😊

I finally found the perfect game I’ve been looking for!!! I’m so in love with your game and it helps me release stress pretty much!!! I think it would be fun if we can be able to do more things in the house such as lying on the bed, sitting on the eating table, or lying on the couch. :) How about lying on the grass, hunting, cooking, and eating? I think it would be more fun!!! ^^
I’m so excited for your next update!! Thank you so much for your hard work!

A open World game where if you see it you can get to it.
Row a boat
Climb a mountain
Explore forests
Roam the world looking for landmarks
Day & night
weather & storms
It’s very calming & relaxing to run around in there are music 5 different tracks to choose
You can tailor the settings to fit your device specs but it auto knows what device you have & sets quality auto.
You got filters to take photos & these change the entire worlds look with them & even persist after so if you wanted to run around in a world filtered with high sharp, saturation & comic book you can! There are many settings to toy with ^-^
Even things like storm, water & cloud settings !

things I’d love in future updates is caves, city’s, buildings more to see & explore.
More music & a shuffle feature for the music tracks

by Masonvida

To put it simply, this game is absolutely stunning. The controls to fine tune the weather and environment are something you don’t see very often especially on a mobile device game. I love Tom he simplicity of the game, just open Wilderless and explore. The reasoning behind my 4 star review is that as a designer myself I feel that there could be more to do. Maybe not so much more to do but more to see and explore such as monument type areas. Maybe a few villages here and there, rivers and waterfalls, animals such as deer and foxes and rabbits. Simple creatures that you could run up to and shape shift into them. Maybe more character animations like drinking from streams of eating mushrooms, making your own campfire from gather material and being able to sit down weather that be on the ground or in your home on the bed or in a chair. Those are just a few recommendations I can think of as of now. That being said I think this game is amazing as is for a brief relaxation session. As I sit here writing this review I am imagining myself playing this game with the added features I have mentioned and could see myself playing for an hour plus using it as time to think of creative ideas for my own projects. Thank you for the beautiful game hope to here from you.
