Me again!
Sun Mar 10 2019 Sea-EazyUPDATE: The Past Review was talking about a bug in version 1.02 for iPad Air users, 1.03 has resolved this issue, and works perfectly as before!! Carry on! :D
Hey, I wrote a review saying I loved the first one and can’t wait for the 2nd one to be released on mobile, well I got a App Store gift card as a present, and saw this the same day, talk about a good day huh? Anyway, so glad I bought it! I love it, like the new mov mechanics, I also like the customization settings as well, I know team 17 enough to know new prison are soon to come so I’m not worried about that, what I am worried about is that after the Feb 13 update for the iPhone X bug fix the iPad Air 1 keeps crashing when I open a prison, I mean any prison, new prison, saved prison, old prison, I even tried deleting and reinstalling, tried another Game Center account, cant even play the tutorial!! I wrote a review on your direct website, that same day, it is now the 26th and you have yet to respond, I’m not mad, i just want to raise awareness to this issue, who knows maybe it happens to other iPads and iPhones, I’ve read reviews of constant crashing as well, such a good game with more to come, I would hate it if it had to be abandoned because of an annoying crash bug. -A Loyal Fan
Unique Game. Love it.
Mon Jan 25 2021 Werewolf 360Okay, this game is amazing. I don’t know if I can say much else. Haven’t experienced any bugs, multiplayer is great, frustrating in the best way, awesome concept. You all should get an award or something. Do they do that? Like, a ‘Best Escape From Prison Game in Recent Years’ thing? I doubt it. But I digress. I would like to see a few more girl prisoner NPCs, but y’know. No rush. This game is complicated, has a lot of steps to get to the escape, and is more than some mundane time killer. I’ve got a criminal record, a signature avatar thing, and I must admit, I’m getting daring. A bit too daring, if you know what I mean. I don’t know how many lockdowns in a day is possible, but...I think I do well. Anyways. I’d love to see more. I love how you have special escape options for multiplayer, though it is a bit annoying because my sister, who always plays, doesn’t always want to as much as me, so I have a lot of multiplayer escapes I haven’t done yet. But that’s a minor thing. Keep adding content, stay safe, thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Add a challenger mode for more challenge.
Sun Jan 01 2023 dragons talkBy challenger mode I mean a player must craft every item in the game, keep all of those somewhere on the map and not get caught and also not causing trouble for example flooding toilets or taking others bed sheets or breaking the vents, yet if you do this you should make a crafting recipe for a storage box that can only be stored in rooms yet can be hid under a vent or in a box so that they can put the crafted stuff somewhere, and the reward for doing that is sandbox mode for the map that challenger mode was played on where the player has access to everything and can experiment with things and can summon guards or prisoner to them. You can add your own things to it but I thing this would add a little challenge to things, and could intrigue speed runners to play this for the challenge.
I would like this alot.
AWESOME SAUCE (bad joke lol)
Fri Jul 05 2019 Kc- kittycatok so yeah,you add a second escapists and everyone buys it,(you following me?), so when they get more money, they seem to develop more parts of the game. which makes people happy like me cus i like the train map dont judge me 😬. which when theres good development means freezing and crashing 🥶,which I’m not judging you for, of course i love it just a few suggestions.1:so you know the guards are bots well thats also kind of stupid (no offense) but you could add a guard mode for multiplayer mode.2:PLEASE fix my PROGRESS LOSS its so annoying i spend 2ingame days getting 100 strength and i quit on accident and gone.3:just fix the crashing and freezing because i love this game and i dint want glitches taking it down. this is me when you read my review🤠. this is me when you dont😭.
Loss of Progress
Sun May 05 2019 Flashflyer18Look, this game is much better than the previous one in multiple ways, from the graphics to the animation to being able to earn money by doing jobs and missions. However, I’ve already lost my progress. TWICE. I was very close to escaping a prison when the battery indicator on my iPad showed up. I figured that since this game uses auto save, I didn’t need to worry about it as long as I exited from the game by hitting ‘Quit’, which I did. I come back later to find all my progress reset apart from having completed the tutorial. This happened again later on. This is the only significant issue I’ve found with The Escapists 2, so as long as you’re willing to risk having all your progress reset, it should be pretty fun.
Pretty Good
Thu Feb 07 2019 Anonymous Potter FanI have the first Escapists game, too. This one has improved by a lot and typically works very smoothly and is very fun to play, and I like that multiplayer is implemented. However... there’s some issues..
The game drains battery really fast. Like, really fast. But I can’t blame them, it could just be my phone. So, that’s not exactly an issue, I suppose. Whenever I play multiplayer with someone else, it takes a long time to load and if I drag the Notification Center down the session stops and I have to redo the process. Sometimes my phone crashes during that process. I have an iPhone 6 and I really hope you can fix the Notification Center issue with multiplayer, as well as the buggy crashing! Thanks for making this awesome game!
No saving
Fri Jun 19 2020 Cottoncandy1038So it keeps telling me, “This game uses icloud. Sign into YOU Apple account to access related functionality, or continue playing as guest.” So I tried to turn on icloud save in settings. I then went and played the game, finishing central perks and went off the game to check on a different game of mine. When I went back to the game (barely a minute later) it launched the screen and the EXACT SAME MESSAGE popped up. do some reason the icloud save I had so obviously clicked had unchecked itself. And all my character info and the fact I had completed the first prison was gone along with the characters I created. It was as if i hadn’t played at all. So I tried again, went out of the game and YET AGAIN the icloud was unchecked and the message popped up. Not only is this message REALLY annoying, but this is not okay. It’s a big glitch that needs to be fixed.
Game keeps crashing, loosing lots of progress
Sun Oct 20 2019 WorldOfWolfWhenever i get through a day or so, the game will just suddenly freeze up with no warning and crash to the apple homescreen, once i load up the game again and hit continue the save, it will load up at my last manual save, or one of the auto saves a couple in game days ago, even though the game is set to save automatically. (it will just delete progress as if ive never even made it!), even sometimes when i quit back to the games homescreen to force a save, the game will freeze up and not do anything indefinitely (ive let it sit frozen for half an hour before restarting the app) and when i restart the app and load up the save, the game will load up another previous automatic save or manual save so that i will have lost half an hour plus of progress.
Despite multiple iphone restarts and app restarts, this has persisted to happen ever since ive passed the ingame tutorial.
Love this game! But…
Thu Dec 30 2021 TreewriterHello!
I’ve been playing this game on and off with my brother for years. Just getting back into it this past week, I went to play it. The only problem was that it wouldn’t/won’t go past the title card. Once you tap the screen to actually start playing, it goes away and all that is left is the background. The menus for characters, leaderboard, play, etc just don’t show up. I know it’s not a storage issue because I’ve got plenty of space left on my iPad (5.5 gb to be exact). Restarted my device, nothing. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn’t work either. I don’t know what the issue is but I hope I can keep playing soon :(
Hard to recommend
Sun Oct 22 2023 Redo Of HeaIerI have a iPhone 15 Pro and the game randomly freezes. It is extremely frustrating. First two levels were fine but once I played the cowboy themed 4th level it started freezing for seconds to minutes at a time. I restarted my phone and closed out background apps. None of that worked. Could be that specific level but now it ruined my experience and my interest to play it. Otherwise the game itself is really fun but gets repetitive quick. Keep doing daily tasks and craft tools to get out. Rinse and repeat every level. Not enough variety and changes to each level. Why does the cowboy themed one still have keycards, metal detectors, cameras, k9, and guards using batons? Makes no sense. Its just an art style no real gameplay creativity in the levels.
