BADLAND in IOS

Award-winning action adventure

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

96/100

Badland is nothing short of a masterpiece in mobile game design. Its atmosphere is heavy, beautiful, and slightly unsettling, created through a gorgeous contrast of lush, painted backgrounds and silhouetted, deadly machinery. Moving your 'Clony' creature through the levels feels organic, but the real magic happens when you hit a power-up and start controlling dozens of clones simultaneously.

The level design is ingenious, forcing you to sacrifice some clones to save others, navigating through spinning saws and crushing gears. It’s a physics-based side-scroller that feels completely unique to the platform. The local multiplayer mode—where four people play on a single device—is chaotic, hilarious, and arguably the best use of a tablet's screen real estate in gaming history.

BADLAND is an award-winning atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure platformer set in a gorgeous forest full of various inhabitants, trees and flowers. Although the forest appears to be right out of a beautiful fairy tale, there’s something terribly wrong. The player controls one of the forest dwellers to find out what’s going on, and discovers an astonishing number of imaginative traps and obstacles on the way.

BADLAND takes side-scrollers to the next level with its innovative physics-based gameplay combined with stunning, atmospheric graphics and audio.

BADLAND also features a highly original local multiplayer mode for up to three players on the same device, where the name of the game is survival of the fittest with no rules. It’s totally OK to push your rivals in front of spinning circular saws to survive. Or, if that's too rough for you, you can also cooperate with your friends and play the modified single player campaign with up to three players.
