Ratings and Reviews
Overall a wonderful game. Glitches really make you lose motivation
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes prison escape games, i think its the best on the market. However, a couple glitches really ruin the experience. If a hole is under your desk and you are next to the desk, it will display that the hole is not covered and you can get sent to solitary for this. So all digging runs are basically impossible. Another is during santas sweatshop, after about 5-7 days of progress (real life days), i got sent into an infinite save reload cycle that i cant get out of. About 10 game minutes after i load the day in, a fence cut gets found and i get sent to solitary, or have to load a save. There is no way around this. I had to abandon the entire save and frustratingly move on to the next prison. Some of the glitches are awesome though, like the one where you can pickpocket guards without knocking them out and keep the keys forever. But rarely these glitches cause a massive strain on the player as they ruin hours of hard work. But an overall beautifully created game, i absolutely love the simplistic artstyle and unique mechanics.
Great, except that...
This game is the best escape game I’ve ever played in my life.
So what’s the big problem you may ask? Well at roll-call even when I’m in line the cops will still be mad that I’m not in line even when I know I’m 100% in line( this might be at other times during the day not just roll-call ). Then sometimes my game will crash randomly and I loose all my progress. So pretty please with a cherry on top add a save that starts you exactly where you left off( you don’t have to just a suggestion ). This next one you might get a lot but I think I should still point it out just in case, so you know how mobile keys break after 4 uses and the others keys last at least 10 times, please make the mobile keys last as long as theirs. Okay this one doesn’t have anything to do with this review but can you add creative mode to the mobile version please. And can you also add escapists 2 to mobile please( just more suggestions remember you don’t have to, and if you do add escapists 2 to mobile you should have it cost money because that’s fair for you guys and gals. Okay that’s all thank you for your time🙂.
Okay update, thank you for fixing those glitches and adding escapists 2 to mobile. In jingle cells there isn't any flashlights anywhere.
Amazing Game - Except for Some Bugs!
I love the Escapists and was debating whether to get it on PC or not, but then this came out and I knew I had to get it! For $4, I could see what the game was all about and have a better opinion on trying the DLC in the PC version (which I hope you add as in-app purchases later!). It was great, my brother and I both were playing it. Except, we were experiencing some launch bugs, which is to be expected. I encountered some text issues with the description of X item in the payphone. Also, sometimes the opening-desk sound kept looping for no apparent reason. My brother's game wouldn't let him escape other prisoners trying to beat him up while loading a save. He was just frozen in place while the black box around the screen faded away and the prisoners had time to come at him and kill him. He died every time he tried loading and was forced to stay in solitary without his items. But these bugs are minor, and I know you can fix them. Anyone that wants to get this game should definitely buy it, it is worth the money! Can't wait to see how it progresses in the future!
