80 Days App Reviews

Ive played several times. This is a very ambitious and detailed choose your own path text based, adventure. Clever, engaging and challenging but still very limited to one of many scripted story lines. Any real imagination or creativity on the part of the user is not required. Disappointed with the cost. Should be 2.99 Artwork is great but constantly covered by dialogue boxes. Sitting around waiting on bank funds is intolerable. Conversations regarding cities and their routes are confusing. Traveling south seems pointless. Larger plot lines involving mystery and intrigue become dull and drawn out with scattered info, characters and items. Clock management is a real challenge when departures are involved. Music is annoying. Should have more interactive movement and the ability to develop character attributes. *Try the app Overlive

Simply remarkable. Cant believe the craft it took to make this. Great storytelling!

This the game Ive been looking for. Fun, not triggery, forgiving but not thrilless. The more re you know, the better it is, so start Googling and learning. You can play again and again and never have the same game. Thanks for this!

I was pleasantly surprised by this one, seemingly outbid nowhere. Super fun. Great sense of wonder and adventure. Would recommend it to anyone. Bonus: Play it on a plane or train and feel like a proper world traveller :)

This game may have been decent but it lost a lot of points with its annoying ad when you first launch the game. If I wanted to know who developed it, Id Google it, so disruptive starting credits are a waste of my time. Second big issue is the game just jumps right in with an unintuitive interface and no instructions. I was clicking for a good few minutes like an idiot before resigning myself to searching online for a clue on how to play. Thats bad game development. If people cant figure out what to do within a few seconds, you need to go back to the drawing board.

80 Days has quickly climbed up the ranks to become my favorite game on the App Store. From the engaging music, to the creative dialogue, to even the minor characters Ive had the pleasure meeting, this game has it all. Ive played this game over about ten times, and each game has been better than the last. No matter how many times you play this game, each one seems so different than the one before, and to me, that quality makes or breaks a game. I would highly recommend buying this extraordinary game.

Very well thought out. Reminds me of choose your own adventure books from when I was a kid. Excellent!

Think of this app as you are reading a journal of a servant and his adventures but you choose how it goes. I started out really enjoying this game because its different. Its not like every "choose your own adventure" story. Youve got to keep your funds up and get hints as to where to sell items you buy at the market in order to gain money and keep traveling while you keep your employer happy. Items in suitcases turn yellow if you will get a hefty return on it. Just make sure you go to the place the description of the item says to in order to gain the money. It can be simple but if youre not careful, you can run out fast if you try to travel too quickly. If a departure leaves after three days, youre given the option to speed it up but you will pay a hefty price. The story line can be fun and hooked me in the beginning. Soon, I found myself bored because even when the story picks up and your character finds himself in a near impossible position, it clears up and youre back to the main screen choosing where to go next. Youve not really risked anything choosing either one of the storylines given as options. Youre given mostly two to three decisions and nothing of risk. Only once I found myself nearly out of money and sleeping outside but I got out of it quickly. I kept myself in favor often just by choosing to tend to the master instead of working for the hotel. Not a big deal, I didnt risk much with the master by gaining money washing dishes. Basically, you have three options nearly everywhere you go: Market, Bank, or Sleep and sometimes Depart if youre on time for it. Choosing depart has you travel to the next place or you can choose where to go if it allows. Choose Bank and you can ask for money but risk waiting a few days. Go to Market and you see a screen of only a few items and you can read about where theyd be valuable. You can also complete certain outfits to keep that type of travel comfortable. You dont get to actually dress anyone though. You just read about it happening. The whole app is about reading a story, choosing where to go and watching a sort of Indiana Jones map as you travel along, choose what to buy and sell and tend to your master while all trying to make it back before 80 days. If you dont, not a big deal. You just continue. No big risks in the game which its lacking. No other screens other than the samples you see, you dont even see the characters they talk about. Its all imagined by the reader. This is too easy a game and gets too repetitive. I found myself just tapping on answers to get through it just to see what happens. You end up just starting over.
