Great Potential!. This is very obviously a work in progress. However the level of polish and depth is already very well put together. I can see the potential for a very large and connected idle game for people to play together. I don’t think I have personally seen a multiplayer idle game. The ability to pick and choose what you want to work on and progress without a massive pay wall is amazing. Hoping for more work on this project so that it can turn out to be the fantastic game it can be.

I see the potential, but…. Right now it’s completely filled with bugs, and borderline unplayable. Which is unfortunate because I quickly paid for the $7.99 all upgrade unlock. Switching from in-app to offline and back seems to not work at all. I’ve had to hard-reset the app several times and there’s never any telling whether the task I started beforehand will still be going. Hope everything is fixed soon, but right now this isn’t a functioning game.

Attention Everyone. Who downloads this game will see it’s not for everyone it’s a slow time consuming game but it’s a GREAT GAME I personally love it and recommend it to most people I hope the creators read this bc I think they should add a play chat system that work and to add a more balanced marketplace

Awesome game, awesome concept, working out bugs. This game is the perfect mix between idle and interactive! The only thing I feel iffy about is the fact that you have to have a different set of tools and accessories for every process, which when you’re starting out seems like the video game equivalent of a filler episode. It’s just tedious and time consuming but once you get it figured out it’s not bad. If you’re on the fence about it, just get the game and try it out! Any ads are optional which is RARE nowadays and really shows me the devs care about the game. Keep up the fantastic work and I hope to see plenty of bugs squashed and lots of new things added!

Great Idler. The open market trading keeps you on your toes and the gathering system keeps the grind for $$$ casual, thus allowing this game to strike a unique balance between effort and relaxation. Can’t recommend this highly enough for those who enjoy idlers that make you think a little. As for the server problems: this game is new, and as far as I can tell, not backed by any major game companies. There is a LOT of planned content, so the game we are seeing now is a far cry from the intended final product. What they have so far is high quality, which means that this additional content will most likely take a bit of time to come out. Optimistically speaking, the fan base should steadily grow, and funding with it, but until then the game is a little laggy. Such is life. Craft-bound strikes me as one of the few games out there worth the wait. “Potential” is putting it lightly. P.S.- please add support for the iPhone 12 mini at some point, I don’t expect it anytime soon but I can’t sell one of the announcements and it continues to absorb one of my inventory slots.

Definite potential, but still a bit rough.. The overall concept and design of the game isn’t a rehash of another with a different theme. I like how when you go to the next tier, it’s not just harvesting and crafting, but you have to add more ingredients. It makes it more complex and fun, imo. As to the overall speed of the game, I went and purchased the starting pack, so I got faster times, and 3X inventory. Still, leveling is a MAJOR grind, and I usually just put it to harvest something, and pick it up the next morning. Making sure your crafting is leveled up to create gear, as well as making sure the ability is leveled up enough to wear it, is hard to manage. One of the biggest difficulties is the market. You have to go through a long process of setting up how many of an item you want to sell is, but it asks you the individual price. Why don’t they let you put up a stack of 100 leather boots, and people can purchase however many they want, and be charged accordingly? Perhaps in a future update? Looking forward to seeing it move forward!

Lots of potential, but super buggy. It’s in early access so I didn’t give it any less rating, but it’s so buggy as to be almost unplayable. Most of the bugs seem to have something to do with data refreshing, like stopping one activity and getting it to know that so I can start another, or getting it to realize I’ve leveled up or gained the materials enough to craft. For now I’ll set it to simply harvest or skin forever and I’ll check back after the next update, because crafting is presently impossible. I’m looking forward to it being playable.

My fav game. This is by far my favorite game on my phone, I kinda wish they had more updates but it take awhile to learn and actually get some money so I think you won’t worry about updates for awhile. I highly recommend, fun game to go on every once in a while

The Perfect Game. Within the first 5 minutes of me opening this game I was hooked and it only got better the more I’ve played. I’ve had it for only 2 days and it’s just about all I do on my phone rn. It hits all the right places that Hypixel Skyblock does but without the unnecessary clutter and grindyness. I cannot stress enough how amazing I think this game is and I can’t wait to see future updates.

Much better after updates/launch. It was very buggy at launch, I tried it again and everything seems to be much smoother. Everything is working as I expect it should (which it wasn’t at first, missing items, slow, unresponsive). Devs did a good post launch update.

Great game. I’ve tried my fair share of idle games looking for the right one, But this one is special.. Maybe it’s the alluring art style, or perhaps the intricate details.. Or the regard the creators have for their players, Anyway.. I really appreciate those who had a hand in the creation of this masterpiece, I’ve been playing almost a year now and I’m still enjoying it.. Thank you. Sincerely one of your players, -Noir

One of a kind. Great game.. You can’t find unique games on the app store all too easily these days. This game has no premium currency. No mandatory ads. The ads you do watch is quite literally 2 minutes of ads for 24 hours of double experience. The things you can purchase are pretty cheap considering you will only have to do it once. I haven’t played the game very much but it’s been all good so far. I give this a 5 stars because of the direction it’s going. This has huge potential.

Best game to fill the void.. Are you gamer that would like to be gaming all the time? This game is for you! If you aren’t on you console/PC this is the perfect phone game. It’s so fun and you actually feel like you are doing something! You don’t have to spend money to feel accomplished it’s so fun.

Has potential for Accessibility. I just started playing this game, and I absolutely love it. What I have noticed, though is that I am blind and I do use the screen reader voiceover. The game itself is almost perfect for the use of voiceover screen reader. The only issue is when you choose map locations, those buttons are not labeled. I pray that this game keeps being accessible to the blind and visually impaired because there aren’t many games for our community. Thank you for making this game. it is amazing.

Give it a chance!. Promise you I’m not a robot writing a review but seriously this game is fun not to serious but at the same time not to easy I love the fact that you don’t have to always check up on it constantly but you can always come back and check up on it hope to see another game like this in the future!

Really fun!. I was looking for games for my phone and found this GEM! It’s really simple to navigate but also really intricate. The player market makes what you do worth it in the game to earn the in game currency. You can literally make and sell anything you make in the game. The road map in the game also shows a lot of promise with combat and other functions being added so starting sooner better than later for the upcoming updates. Overall the game is set a good pace. It seems slow at first but when you get equipment and you level up everything seems to go at a much quicker pace. I’m looking forward to the upcoming future of this game!

Unplayable and poorly conceived. UPDATE: Months later, still getting error messages preventing play *every time* I open the game. Sigh. Deleted. UPDATE: I stuck with this game as the devs upgraded capacity. Very much appreciate their (herculean!) efforts, but I'm still getting error messages every time I open the game. In addition, leveling things like blacksmithing and lumber consists of days of grinding out low-level items for correspondingly low XP. And those days of crafting are preceded by even more days of gathering. Other skills have new crafting items every couple of levels. I currently need 1.2 million XP to level blacksmithing, and each ore I craft is 20xp. Why? How is this fun? I was happy to pay for this game and support the devs. But I will likely delete. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I wanted to love this game. It's right up my alley. But it's glitchy. I saw frequent display glitches, considerable lag when crafting, differences between what was displayed and what should have been displayed (such as leatherworking level-ups during woodworking). Also delays upward of 20 seconds while gathering when the area was not full and displayed a 3-second delay. Sometimes I can't even tell if crafting is occurring because the UI doesn't update. I hope this is happy growing pains! But the game is a struggle for me as it is.

An idler with great potential. If you like idle games you should give this a try. It’s an idle mmo and even though not complete, the skills and features here already are solid. You can gather, make items, sell things to other players, and skills even have abilities you can use to increase rarity, yield of items, etc. It still has a lot of great features planned too. Another thing I liked about this game is it doesn’t bombard you with ads or pop ups. In fact viewing ads is a nice experience because you can stack double XP buffs for up to 24 hours and it doesn’t take that long to fill up. As far as in-app purchases, you can buy quality of life upgrades and they’re not terribly overpowered or expensive. Bigger inventory, longer offline idling, etc. You can also buy ad free boosts which are the same as the ones free players get. Overall I think this game has huge potential and I can’t wait to see where it goes!

Pick your trade. You can pick to be one of many classes and focus that by using the market to get the materials you need or you can be a jack of all trades and get you’re own materials as well. Very cool game in its early stages; big hopes for what’s to come. 5 star review to try and get the game noticed more players is more business for my jewelry shop ;)

Been waiting for this game!. Played the game when it was on TestFlight and loved it. They’ve improved so much content and UI/X wise and it’s awesome. However, navigating the UI is a little..janky. Screen transitions are not as smooth as I’d like or expect. Also running into crashes: was mining copper and then tried to start the crafting of ingots and the game crashed. Gonna keep an eye on the game tho, and when everything seems fixed then I’ll gladly purchase the full game!

It's like WoW, but just crafting!. So it essentially has all the same mechanics of leveling up gathering and crafting skills, and none of that pesky roaming around and fighting mobs. I loved WoW, so I'm hooked. Thank you developers! I'll be sending you some tip money! Or maybe I'll buy the unlock everything forever... 😄

Seems fun when it lets me play:/. the game will constantly like refresh and take me to the home screen and reload everything so i can’t even play most the time and not only that but sometimes it’ll just crash constantly ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling nothing changes i hope this can get fixed because i enjoy this game and i’ve seen im not the only one with this problem and everyone i’ve seen ENJOYS it when it works PLEASE WORK ON THIS DEVS!!

Fantastic but only the start (hopefully). I’ve only touched the player listings twice: once to buy a tool I thought I couldn’t make, another time to experiment selling excess tools. The game needs stuff to buy, make money worth something. Once combat and questing is added, it’ll be golden. I hope the game has unique items added and potentially redo or fix up the character sprite because no matter what you do you can only really look masculine, there’s no feminine player characters on the charts or anything. I’d love it if there were cosmetics that would show on your character, they don’t need to do anything per se, I would just love to have that way to express myself and customise. Overall great but only the beginning (hopefully), it needs a reason to build up, not just building to nowhere. A house you have furnish, a character you can outfit, a workshop you can customise. You don’t need anything big, just something more than nil.

I refuse to pay money for games. I, as I assume most of us will be in this category, refuse to do any micro transactions to help myself in these games and after 2-3 weeks I can say that it definitely is a slow grind but still satisfying. I haven’t gotten very far as I’m trying to clear all of my gathering and skills before moving on to the next area, but this is a good idle management game that you can check every few days as a busy working professional. The only thing I would say takes away the 5th star is that my “Watch AD to double xp” button is broken and so I can’t do any free ads to get perks. As someone who refuses to do micro transactions, I’ll sit there all day watching free ads to boost my character, so this is kind of lame.

Love the game and the creators. First of all the game at least to me is very fun and a great game to have going on in the background while doing something else. The main reason I truly love this game so much is seeing how the creators of the app are handling the big jump in players in there game and giving updates to the players of how things are going. Just makes me love the game more.

I never write reviews... I’m not the to write reviews, I’ll usually just give it a star rating and that’s it. But this game deserves my whole keyboard. I’m a gamer that looks for a simple yet complex crafting system in games, craft bound provides simple mechanics but complex resource management. It’s not addicting (yet) but it Will definitely keep you interested. Also having a player built economy makes your hard work feel more rewarding. Just like crafting in RuneScape to earn profit, you can do that here or you can keep everything for yourself and become a godlike crafter. Either way, you’re making GP. I’m excited to see how this game develops in the near future and how the economy will turn out. Keep it up!

Grind worthy. Everything about this game is pretty straight forward. In my opinion there should be a queue system and a way to set the time for each so I’m not just working on one resource at time and can dedicate the needed time on each resource. Other than that & a few crashes, the game is great. No ads unless you want to watch one ad to get x2 XP for 4 hours.

Best Idle Game I’ve Ever Played. I have played so many idle games over the years including most of the big names and a lot of stuff in between. When I discovered Craftbound in its beta, I quickly fell in love and it became a part of my daily routine. It wasn’t until the end of the beta that I realized how much I have enjoyed playing it. There is a great community around this game and the devs are great! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves idle games and/or RPGs!

finally a mobile game worth playing. i struggle to find games that I enjoy on mobile, especially with ad integration that isnt annoying. This game defies that. U get 6hrs of double xp for watching a 30s ad; so only 4 ads in a 24hr period, perfectly reasonable imo. Gameplay is fairly barebones rn and shares some similarities with FFXIV’s crafting and gathering systems, but many features and systems are planned in their roadmap. Servers can sometimes get crowded and cause advanced rotations to slow down but the devs have been extremely active in the discord and work on server issues promptly. Finally something that I can enjoy while doing something else on the side. I realize there are other games that do the same thing but the simple ui and aesthetic do it for me. Hoping this game succeeds in the long run.

Awesome time killer. This app is an amazing time killer. Set your mind to what craftsman skill you want to be gifted in because boy does it take a while to level up your skills. The market is amazing too, but I would add something to make it feel a little better. Sometimes I put my items up for sell in bulk. For example I put up 50k iron ore for sell for 48 hours. I come back with 27 hours left to check on if I sold anything and I did. But the game only lets you know if the whole listing is sold, not who bought what or how much they bought. Implementing something that would be sent to some type of mailbox when a portion of your listing was sold with details of How much was sold, on what day it sold, and how much money you made from it would be nice and give us players a sense of accomplishment.

Perfect. Had some server issues, but dev is hard at work here and actively giving updates on Discord. Seems a fix is already in place. Game otherwise is awesome! Idle game with skills to hone and leve up. It’s just what I wanted. After server was fixed, getting the launch bundle to support Dev was no brainer.

Does not work.. New review - (3-*) so I updated my phone like was suggested. I was able to get the game to work for a few minutes and now it will not respond. I see the potential and I am waiting to see how this game develops. I won’t wait too long if the game will still not work correctly Old review-(1-*)“The game crashes right as you start playing and it keeps refreshing back to the home page so I can’t get anything done. Frustrating. Oh well”

Bug!…. But I love the game. I bought the all current and future upgrades bundle but yet I’m still only getting 24 hours of afk grind anyone know how to fix this problem other then that! I just wish I could play the game more but that would delete the purpose love the game and without the internet crashes and the few bugs in early access would be the best game I’ve played in this genera on iphone

Actually fun not full of ads. When I usually find games like this i usually expect it to be an ad filled mess that just for changing a screen or clicking on something would make you watch a 30 second ad, which to me is pretty crappy but this game doesn’t have any ads unless you want double xp, so far I’ve seen that it’s been fun and easy to use and understand, tho it is kind of a buggy mess I still can see the developers trying to keep it afloat, the reason for the bugginess I think is because of all the new players joining are making run so slow, so I’m just gonna give it time and eventually the game will be working how it’s intended

Strong foundations. Has a lot of room to grow but is very well done. This is the only mobile game that I haven’t deleted 24 hours after downloading. The traveling by land feature in its current state is very aggravating (trips back to a low lvl area would always get interrupted leaving me “stranded” in a higher level area that I went to prematurely) that’s my only gripe though.

Fantastic, Thank you.. This game is honestly well put together for only having 2 developers. I think the both of you are doing an excellent job so far. I know there have been a lot of growing pains lately but the concept overshadows the fixable draw-backs. The crafting system is simple but has plenty of room to grow a little more complex. The player driven market is exactly what I was looking for when I started playing. Personally I think others WAY overprice their goods but aye- I aim to change that in regards to leatherworking. I really can’t complain. I do hope we see an update sooner rather than later. As well new features like combat. Thank you to the entire team for putting this product out there for all of us to enjoy.

Better than shown. This game looks pretty simple an straightforward at first glance but it actually is a bit deeper then you’d expect an the real world aspect of the game just gives it this better feel an I’ve been planing for 2 days now an the only add you’ll see is the 2xp add this game is the perfect game for someone who wants a idle game an works a lot

best afk game!. i’m so excited for what’s to come for this game! this afk game is really enjoyable and with added features to the game, expanding the map and adding items, as well as improving player to player interaction like adding a chat, etc, this game will definitely become a number one favorite. if more and more items were to be added i would suggest a way to expand the the max inventory, maybe through gold or materials. i understand in-app purchases are essential, however, if the map is to expand with more unique materials i think it would become extremely difficult with the 25 material max. for a stylistic suggestion, i thought it would be cool if instead of a plain black background there was a dark non distracting background that went along with the locations on the map. when i click on the world map i see there’s a small icon of the area, and if that was toned down much darker i think it would become a great background, subtle but interesting. thanks so much for creating this fun game, if there was more to do with the characters originally customized in the introduction of the game i think it would be so cute. love this!

Solid idle game. I honestly enjoy this game. Been looking for a good idle game for a while. I’m a bit of an idle idle player, so just setting my guy to gather resources and checking in everyday, after a week of doing this I repeat the process by refining the gathered materials. I then sell them at a nice low but still very profitable price. 10/10 I love this game

Love it. I don’t know if the dev or team will even see this but this game is so well thought out and user friendly is ridiculous. Like every time I have an issue with interface I’m like “I wish dev did this” and I find out they had already did it 🤯. But I would like to see bug fixed that takes up my inventory space when I have zero of an item

Has the potential to be great. Dev is actively developing and adding new features, is active in the discord as well. Still has a few server connection issues that waste materials, but aside from that no real problems. I’m looking forward to the dev creating more reasons for people to use the marketplace to buy and sell, currently it feels like it’s only useful for the top tier of crafting and I’m at tier 3. Fun game to set running and check on a couple times a day unless I’m ready to make half step or full step upgrades to my equipment.

Has Potential to be Great. At first, I thought this game would be just like all the other idle grinding games: I’d play it for a week and then delete it. However, I’ve latched on to this game. It’s different. I love the player-driven economy system, I love the pixel art, and I love the grinding mechanics. It has potential to be one of my favorite mobile games, but it needs a lot of work. It’s a brand new game, so I understand that the devs are still working to get all the kinks worked out, but once the bugs are fixed this game will be a 10/10. I would love to see more locations and more character customization added in the future as well as a more in-depth combat system. One of the bugs that I would love to see fixed ASAP is that the items that I buy from the vendor take up slots in my inventory even after I’ve used all of the materials, so it’s very annoying to see my precious inventory slots being taken up by something that I have 0 of. Devs, if you’re reading this, keep up the good work!

Better but…. So this game has really engaged me. The only real issue I have, is once unlocking a new recipe, many times it says I don’t have enough progression to make it idle. How do I get Progression to be able to make it?!?! There is no info telling me how to get there! Once I unlock the recipe, I should be able to idle that item if I have the required resources. Because I have all the gear I can make, yet can’t progress due to this mechanic. Also, sometimes when I go in and start crafting an item, after the first craft, it pops up saying I don’t have enough progression, but continues to make the item, and succeed. But when I stop crafting, and try to restart it, it doesn’t allow me to make the item like I just had been.

Melvor Idle meets FF XIV crafting. After beating Melvor Idle (RuneScape idle game) I’ve been looking for something to play that’s similar, and this game has very similar vibes, while also pulling the crafting/gathering skill system from Final Fantasy 14 that I think is the best crafting system in gaming. If you like either of those games/systems this is a game for you

Can’t Even Play. Downloaded the game and played for about an hour. There are a few bugs, some you can work around, some you can’t. When doing advanced gathering with certain skill combinations you just get 0 xp and resources. Sometimes the screen just goes blank except for outlines of where widgets should be and you have to restart to get everything to show up again. Now the games been down for over 12 hours so can’t even play it. I think the game has potential, but has a ways to go.

Great so far!. This game is great so far. I love the art style, the crafting, the player economy, how you level up. Really it’s all great. The game is 90% stable in the sense that it’ll randomly crash or loose signal though that could be something on my end. I wish the devs could also add another option to craft instead of only one crafting slot. Overall I absolutely love this game!

Beautiful, clean and well made. I've been playing since this released on the App Store, but I've waited to review it. The reason being, it had a rough start. Server issues, mostly. But the developers seemed competent, and willing to work on it. And here we are, with things pretty much running 99.9% good. They've proven they can fix things, and care enough to make sure we have a good experience. That shows promise that this game is only going to get better and better over time. And which saying a lot, because what we have right now is absolutely excellent. Easily the cleanest, best looking idle game of this sort I've played.

Please Polish. This runs terribly and always crashes on IOS, I can’t even put any of my items for sale on the market since I can’t turn off the window to type in the price without closing the whole window. I also can’t click the drop down at the top to switch quickly from the harvesting menus and have to go from the Home Screen to go anywhere. Over all super promising and fun idea that is just riddled with bugs and glitches. Please fix these two things and the game will be at least playable minus the random crashes and be really fun.

Great but a little buggy. Great game. Been playing for a while now but I’ve noticed one bug and just encountered another. 1) game will randomly crash 2) it’s not progressing anything so I’m basically at a standstill while it is taking my items whenever I switch to try something else. I’m so close to being able to go to area 3 but can’t because of this

This is one of the greatest games. I have never really been into incremental games, I really liked the mobile Progressknight game but that’s it that I have heard of incrementals, I absolutely love DND and after playing this for a week I can happily say I will continue playing it for the Foreseeable future, I like the DND-like element of imaging your character doing their tasks, I like the player-run stock market, and I love how stupidly rich you can get by doing nothing but gather for a few days, then craft it all into more expensive resources, and selling it to the merchant. 10/10 plan to recommend to a friend. Ps: If your a creator reading this I have a suggestion for an update: make a guild system where, hear me out, player made-and-ran guilds fight in wars against each other, players could use the resources they collected to make weapons for a.I fighters, and every guild member can donate some resources in a big attempt to make a giant siege machine.

Technical and engaging. Super addictive and not full of ads like 99% of the other rubbish on the App Store, discord community is helpful as well, can see myself playing this for years to come

Bugs?. Can’t start gathering anything, the timer didn’t progress? I’m not sure if it’s a but or if i missed something

Too many bugs. Every minute the screen goes black and im unable to let it run in idle as I keep getting “ Oops! There was an error. The data couldn't be read because it is missing. Follow the status update on Discord” Nope. Not wasting y time.

Great game. Love this game

Cant play?. This game does have the potential to be good but I can’t play it. Every five minutes it kicks me from the game and when I try to swap the tab to gathering or crafting it just doesn’t, before kicking me out from the game. I would love to play and give this a better rating but because I can’t play it it only gets one star. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Pls add google login. Can you please add a way to login with a google account instead of only apple because I can’t login with apple.

So slow and buggy. Cant even get the game to work, it just keeps crashing and returning to home after maybe a minute of doing anything, definitely the worst game due to literally being unplayable

Needs alternative log in methods.. This is the only game I’ve ever seen that forces Apple ID only sign in. You’ll find you get a lot more interest and interaction with your game if you add something as simple as google sign in.

In app purchases don’t carry across accounts?. Really enjoying the game. I’ve played for about 3 weeks now and bought the “all bundle” upgrade for about $12. The next day I made a fresh in-game account with the same Apple ID. It says I have still purchased the upgrades but the 3x inventory and 2x xp don’t work!

Fun but have encountered a bug. Hey, Dev team. Great game however I am having a bug where I left the game to chop wood for a few hours and then I went to go change the action to crafting but it won’t stop chopping wood. No matter how many times I have tried to restart the app and also press the stop button on the gathering, it doesn’t seem to work. Love the game but it’s kinda game breaking this bug as I am literally unable to do anything else in the game except cut the beech logs

Great little game to pass the time. It’s a nice little idle game to come back to every day or two and it has a lot of potential to be a big game, I haven’t played for long so I’d like to point out that from most of my experiences mmo games tend to have some sort of chat system in game which this lacks and could be a great addition for new players such as me who might come across little hiccups now and then, but other then that I’d say that this game atm is worth having 5 stars

Can’t stop playing. I don’t really play mobile games, only started playing because a mate posted about it I thought I’d give it a shot. Now I’m trying to min max my way to the next level of everything and obsessing about the best way to craft the next item. Looking forward to the updates coming out soon.

Perfect. I love this game! It’s sooo good. Definitely my kind of game.

good game. game is good

Best idle game I’ve ever played. I’ve been playing idle games since Cookie Clicker back on the web browser, up to the modern mobile giants like Idle Heroes etc. What makes this unique and imo the best is the dev team and the community. I participated in the alpha and beta on Test Flight before this release and saw how much the devs and the community cared for game and how they collaborated to create this amazing game. I’ve tested to combat in early releases and it’s awesome. There’s not many games and combine crafting, combat and community so well. This is a true gem and I can’t wait to see grow into a idle giant of its own!

Sooooo. Explains nothing. Crashes every time I use it. Can’t find combat even though I’ve seen stuff online about it

BUG, please fix may be a future issue. And a big one to me. Idk what your all on about because I can’t EVEN PLAY!? When I downloaded the game I open it and click Sign in with Apple ID. I get a little error message notification in the middle of my screen from Apple saying that I cant use Apple ID to create another Apple ID? I’m not sure why it’s doing that when it doesn’t for Apple sign in with other apps but your game looks really fun and I do hope you fix this so I can give it a shot myself. Thankyou

Idle game. This game is great for an idle game but there’s not much action

So addicting!. I don’t normally write reviews but the developers definitely deserve 5 stars! Such an awesome community on discord as well :)

Beautiful. Crafty fun

Fantastic game esp. if you loved RuneScape. It’s simple yet complicated & layered, it’s graphics are cute & will only get better I’m sure. It has a great active player-run market with a very active community currently over Discord but that may change in future. Devs are communicative & the player support are actual veteran players. It’s just idle skilling and it’s sick. With combat coming soon, this game has a lot of potential from a passionate team. If you ever enjoyed RuneScape, this will appeal to you.

This is good. This is a fun game, and I am enjoying playing it. Accessibility could be improved, but VoiceOver users can play the game.

Game won’t even work. Just downloaded and met with a pop up saying unknown error. Literally unplayable. Literally.

Good game L design. Pretty good game but like it mmo so its kinda bad

Good concept needs work. I love the idea of this game. But there are certain issues like when you go list items there’s no indication of how many of the item you have. Yes you can max out to check but that’s really inconvenient having to spam 9999 till it converts to how many you have. You’ve got tons of UI space to work with there. An indication of the cheapest on the market currently would be nice too. Game also needs a bit more hand holding at the start there’s nothing to draw you in and keep your attention. Nothing that goes here’s what you can do and maybe there’s stuff you can unlock later? I might have enjoyed this 10 years ago but not right now. Please stay positive though your work is amazing it just needs a couple of tweaks.

Minor fixes. Game has great potential, here’s some things that would help it improve gameplay. 1 the game has a habit of going all dark every minute or 2 and typolast a minute. Get a bit annoying. 2 when in the market there should be a choice of purchasing an amount of goods rather then the hole stack that’s there. Also had an issue of when I tried to search in the market I’d get kicked out of game

Interesting but clunky. Just started playing, feels like way too many clicks to start doing one task (eg. to gather wood it takes 5 clicks, when it could easily be designed with 2-3). It also seems to randomly stop doing a task if I go into another menu. Makes for an overall clunky feel that you don't expect from an idle game.

I cannot play. Whenever i enter the game and press sing in with Apple ID it says that my Apple ID cannot make accounts fro others how can i fix this.

Craftbound is FABULOUS!. Great game. Clever time waster. ❤️

Good. Good

Good game but consistently crashes. ..

Fun and Addictive. Great game with devs that seems to actually care about the game. Just a suggestion but it would be nice to see some idle gathering/ skilling animations in various locations. As well as more art for different locations to make the world more engaging (just something to look at while your grinding) it would be cool to see the lore if the world expanded upon and more art/animations in general. Also another suggestion would be to add a “slayer” skill were you’re killing mobs and monsters. A guild system/party system with world boss raids, party raids etc.

Amazing!. I’ve played literally hundreds of idle games and Craftbound breaks the mould! It’s got plenty to do both idle and active, play it as an active game or set and forget. The discord community is amazing, friendly and very active and the developers are constantly reviewing feedback and suggestions to make the game the best it can be.

Simple idle fun. The only thing that that actually stoops me some giving 5 starts would be the limit of 1 character to do tasks.. Although 2 has been mentioned to be added down the line in the future… I feel it could be an idea worth workshoping to have some kind of village or party system and each character excluding base has their own benefit or even exclusive roles like the items already have themselves just felt it would be worth to at least explore the idea. Even if it means limiting such characters a like I solo gameplay only mode, as I don't know the developers final concept for the game it could still be a workshoped idea to fit whatever fits their image. Otherwise it's a idle game that is simple yet enjoyable, keep up the good work!

Love it. I’m a seasoned incremental gamer and this has been the best one I’ve ever played. They have a great community and the developers are very active and engaged.

Unplayable. There is this bug where you can’t play the game if you have a apple family account, because if you are under 13 you can’t play the game, so I recommend to add a game centre option for those people that have a apple family account. This game seems like a very good game and I would appreciate if you would add other ways to create accounts so I can access this game.

when will the game be fix?. …….

MMO Crafting & Gathering. Back when I had time, I enjoyed spending hours gathering and then levelling up my professions in my MMO of choice. This game is exactly what I’ve missed about that, but In a format I can still find time for. 5/5 cheers !

Really great idle game!. Looking forward to updates! Any idea when the next one will be?

If only…. I feel like this game COULD be really good. But for weeks I’ve gotten pretty much nowhere because half the time it doesn’t work.

Hidden Gem. Keep in mind this game is in early access but it has huge potential to be one of, if not the best idle rpg’s, If you enjoy crafting rpg’s like RuneScape definitely give this a try, it’s lacking content at the moment but use that as a opportunity to get ahead of all the others that will join and be ready for the continuous updates that will be coming out as the weeks/months go.

So far, so good!. Really enjoying this game! Give it a shot

Love. 😍😍😍

Not enough Inventory. The game becomes tedious after a while unless you’re willing to spend 10 bucks on expanded inventory. Around middle game you’ll begin to realize 40 free slots not enough to play the game properly (well rounded). You’ll end up selling items you’d rather keep for cheap or spending 5-30 minutes listing enough items on the market to get below 40 inventory slots, basically using the marketplace as a 48 hour temporary inventory . Listing these costs money (couple thousand-couple hundred thousand) and time (5 mins if you slap random huge numbers in unit price, up to half hour or more if you search and list items for market prices), the listing gold is no problem but the whole time you’re listing these items feels like drinking warm water that’s been sitting in the car on a hot day and your in the middle of a desert with no other water anywhere forever unless you can sacrifice 10 dollars the gaming gods and prove your not broke. 2/10 would not recommend to fellow broke people, every 2 days is time to drink desert car plastic water, 7/10 would recommend if you can buy glacier fresh fridge water and still have loads of shillings to toss around.

Lots of potential. It’s very buggy especially with the marketplace. Game crashes constantly. there’s an issue where say if I’m mining copper, every time I try to use the drop down menu, it closes on me. Cool concept though.

Craftbound. Best game I’ve played on the App Store

Full of bugs and rushed. Good concept but awful execution just trying to piggy back off Melvor idles popularity I’d steer clear, discord is toxic with no support, game will be dead and left with bugs in a month easily

Great game!. Been playing for a few days and really enjoying it so far! Would recommend

Good game. I love this game. It is so fun. I recommend this game because it’s kind of like Minecraft.

Awesome. Awesome

No story. The game is cool, but it lacks engagement. There's no story. No battle. It's just about crafting. Imo there's a huge potential here.

Very nice. Very nice trading game, hope the dev will not abandon it. We need to support great idea like this. Vote up !!!

Great game but... Love the game but most of the time the crafting button doesn’t work. Even if I exit out of the game to refresh it and come back in, I just can’t get into the crafting screen.

Updates??. Best game imo wishing for dev to update more often

no idea what i’m doing but i’m loving it!. lacks a tutorial from what i’ve seen so far but stumbled across the tip section in the settings looking for the crafting section but enjoying the way the farming works!

Money. Good I like money

Awsome. This game is addicting

Fun idle rpg. Interesting mechanics and more mmo elements than similar games.

Good. Normally I don’t play idle games but this one is good. I hope they update the game and add some combat like slayer. Maybe they can take some inspiration from RuneScape.

Fun but buggy. I have -1 leather. It is worth -10 gold. I can't seem to get rid of it and it is taking up an inventory slot. I would gladly pay you -10 gold tomorrow for an inventory slot today. Edit: been playing for a bit now and maybe I'm missing something so if I am feel free to correct me. Seems kinda unfinished but there is a cash shop so you guys are fair game. The crafting system is neat however that seems to be all there is to do at the moment, there doesn't seem to be combat and if there is it's really hidden. So I'm crafting things to get better at crafting things.. to craft more things, that's it full stop. The market is good, pretty well everything you would want in a market. Set your own price (looking at you Albion you were so close) buy and sell. Simple and fun, however if all there is to do is craft buying something from another player effectively robs you of the game content. You might as well spend the time making the item you wanted to buy because that's all there is to do anyway. I see on the wiki a spot for melee/magic/ranged with no info so I assume it's coming. Will keep an eye on this one but for now there's not enough content to really sink your teeth into.

Great idle mmo. Good foundation !

Fun. Just started playing and it’s already fun

Fun game. I can’t wait to see how well this game turns out :) it’s fun to craft and get material.

Addicted. I spent the last 3 night playing at work, perfect for multitasking. Love the ui feels like im playing in discord very similar color scheme. Its very grindy be aware. Dont forget to lauch a skill or mass crafting before bed ;)

Great Game. Highly recommend, for idle game fans!

Developer feedback update. I couldn’t find a way in game to leave feedback. The recent update added a number of new craftables. Which is awesome. However, some items need to be adjusted. I crafted an iron wrench which has a level of 25. And I can’t equip it even though I’m level 28. Otherwise the game is good. Looking forward to more updates. The recent changes should make it more engaging. Providing there are no equipping issues. And… never mind. Items go in the offhand

Bugs. Cannot gather at all just says 1s remaining constantly on all areas (even after buying tools) Also gathering areas full of “players” so you cannot train there.

A good start!. Relaxing game. Trying to compete in the market is fun :) The game is just starting and more item and spécialisation are coming! Who will have the greatest business?!?

Update made somethings not work. I would like to say I really like this game, but the last update made it so I can’t access the world map to change location or watch adds for 2x experience, just letting you know maybe others are having this issue, thanks!

Perfect. At the beginning it’s a little hard to get but after about 2 hour it’s the best

Great Idle Crafting. Really enjoying this, the crafting system is very reminiscent of a certain MMO that I love. One of the better Idle games I’ve played and it’s still in development. Great work guys!

Fun. This game is fun and addictive but not in a bad way

Amazing. Absolutely wonderful game!

Fun. The game is pretty fun ONCE you get the hang of it since there is no tutorial or well at least I have never found the tutorial. The game is hard to understand to make money but pretty simple once you know the basics of what to do. Also meaning knowing your goals and settings you goals or being able to know what you are doing to set those goal in the game. Its a unique idle game among the general games of the app store. I personally like the game and have no problems except for this one problem (SLOW LOADING TIMES) anything other than that the game is perfectly fine with me. I can always be able to ignore the “slow loading times” that occur. I use the iPhone 6 and it runs quite well except for that one problem which is probably only occurring since my phone is so outdated. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know as soon as possible. The reason why I’m giving it a 3 star rating is not because the slow loading time its only because there is no tutorial that I have found. If there is a tutorial please let me know. Suggestion: Add a tutorial for new players as soon as they open the app for more easy access to the game mechanics. With that being said thats it.

Good but just the basics. The game has a good concept but doesn’t push it far enough. The crafting system is an exact copy of Final Fantasy 14, which isn’t a bad thing in itself but without the rest of the MMO, feels a bit lacklustre. A few display bugs, often when getting a crafting report after a couple of hours there going to be a list of additional items that are incorrectly displayed. A fair amount of crashes especially when returning to the application. Good to get for free, spend a few cycles and move on.

Solid, Entertaining, Intricate, ALMOST there... (PREFACE: I know nothing about game dev.) Honestly pretty entertaining and really solid for a free game. The emphasis is on crafting and buying/selling on the player based market. It is NOT pay to win, it IS pay for quality of life. (e.g. pay for double xp, or, watch this 30 second ad for 4 hours of double xp.) If I could give 4.5 star I would. The ONLY reason it’s 4 is because I KNOW the market could be better. I like: Crafting. It can be more complex than just ‘tap this and wait for character to craft it’, there can actually be some strategy and thinking involved. I wish: The market. 2 things would make this better imo. 1. Make the market search feature better. Only way to search market is by the exact name of the item, you cannot filter by rarity/item characteristics/or by in game $ amount. 2. If I want to sell 100 gloves. I can sell all 100 at once, but that means ONE PLAYER must buy ALL 100 gloves. You cannot buy just a few of a players sell offer. No one needs 100 gloves… so, you have to take 5 minutes to create 20 orders of 5 gloves each instead. Is this to partially to keep players playing longer? MAYBE? I don’t know.. it would be nice to have the option to buy some of an order, not just the whole thing. - this also sort of unintentionally spams the market, because you might come across a whole page or two of one player having 50 sell offers for 1 item. All that said, it’s still good. I just think it could be A LOT better with basically only UI changes. There’s a really nice feeling I get when I have lots for sale and I wake up the next day and I see that actual players needed/liked what I was selling so they bought it and can find use in it. Very nice.

Way too much lag and buggy. I’ve been trying to start a skill for the last few hours, crafting or gathering it just lags out

Constant Crashing. Crashes often, loads slow. Half the time crafting doesn’t work, other half it bugs out and crafts something random.

Fails to start. 13 pro max, iOS 15.6.1, just doesn't start. App opens to an empty unresponsive menu that never loads. Looks neat, but it's impossible to give higher than 1 star to an app that can't be used.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Keep it up!. Love this game and the direction it is going. I’m always a fan when a game uses the apple interface within it’s game. I look forward to further updates and the plans you have for the future. Already invested $8 US.

Constant downtime. Such a failed launch due to constantly having issues with the server. Hopefully I can update this after a week if it gets fixed. Seems an ok game albeit not much to do for an mmo at the start but that’s somewhat expected.

Promising. This game is simple. I love that I don’t have to check on it throughout the day. There are bugs to be ironed out, but the developers are very active and responsive on their Discord server. I can’t wait to see future updates!

FFXIV & New World Idle Crafter. Legit has same system as FFXIV with quality and durability actions but all the tiers and materials straight up remind me of things out of New World crafting. Either way very basic and fun idler with more refined crafting when you’re not idling playing the game.

Nice idle game. Honestly these guys did a great job on the game. All purchases are optional and are to support the game development. With that stated I would recommend any one who likes grinders/farmers should play this

Promising, but buggy. Game seems promising and possibly fun, but it bugged out approximately one hour into the game and thus softlocked me. I couldn’t find any real support or FAQs to troubleshoot why this may have happened, but I was also starting to get several error popups too. Maybe wait until the game gets a bit more polish.

If not the best game of multiple genres. Download it and give it a few days. You’ll know if its true or not 👌 Never expect a simple concept could be this addictive

This game is good, but this bug is very annoying. There’s a bug where after you watch an ad and it says reward granted, you don’t get the double Xp hours I also have video proof idk how I can put it in here

So far so good. Just recently got this game, enjoying it an extreme amount, the devs are very laid back but on top of their work, the community is extremely welcoming, would recommend to anyone :)

Love this game and would like to see more.. Love the game and thank you for it! Would like to see more things to do. After I max out my skills let’s say, what’s there to do? I’m almost at that point and already wondering lol.

Solid game. solid game wish there was a way to fight monsters so it’s an actual rpg game hope it comes in the future other wise really fun and solid game

This game is so cool!. I thought it was gonna be some casual grinding game but its even more better than i expected!It has some really refreshing gui and a very open spaced gameplay.

Relaxing idle. It’s a good game although I would like to see maybe an animation of my character chopping trees down or gathering, that would add to the experience and since this is a newer game I can’t wait to see the new locations that get added to the map as well as maybe quests some day!

A Lot of Promise. This game is definitely still green but as far as UI-based idle games go, it’s already got potential to be one of the best when it grows up a little bit.

It’s just a nice game. I play this when ever I’m bored and I have fun crafting and selling or buying people out of stock and sell their stuff for more money

They need to add a force save feature like melvore. My drive to play this is greatly diminished due to the app never saving when I start afk/auto. I’ll start mining copper for instance and close the app after 15-30 seconds and come back hours later to no progress due to the app not updating server side before I close it. I’ve even tried to leave the app running in the background, but I just come back to the same place I left off with no progress Fix this and I will fix this review

I Love and enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot, especially since im always working and its nice whenever i get a break to do some stuff on it and then the rest of the time its gathering materials. Love the player driven economy as well

Great idle mmo. Level up skills and sell your goods on the multiplayer market. This game would easily have 5 stars if they didn’t have server issues at the start, I think most negative reviews are from that time period. Servers are stable now

I love it. I’ve played the game for like a week or two maybe, but I really enjoy playing the game, there are a few things I wish was in the game like fighting enemies like a dungeon, that’d be dope. Thanks for making this game I love it

Great. Only complaint is that i cant sit here and grind anything and just have to wait for the idle. Great game, even this early in the development. Cant wait to see what future updates bring

It’s a great game. It’s still in its early stages and the developers seem like they are very much all into the game. I recommend playing it for sure. Very fun afk game with the potential to get even better.

A great start. I love idle games, but this one really scratches the itch. My favorite part of RPGs is always crafting and hunting for supplies so this game is perfect. Are there bugs? Oh absolutely, but the discord and devs seem active and determined to keep the development going so I’m happy to keep plugging away. Definitely get in on this game before it passes you by!

Amazing potential. So far it has a great base for a great game I hope the developers will continue working on this and judging from the road map there will be amazing features added

Pretty Fun. I’ve been playing this for about 4 months now and not once have I gotten bored there is so much to do in it that you will never run out of tasks to complete

Great idle game!. Love the idle side of it since I work a bunch, always loved the crafting stuff. It’s perfect. Set a task, let it run and come back when you have time. Only in tier 2 and have no intention of stopping🤘🏽 can’t wait to see what the rest of it has in store.

Practically Ad free and interesting idle crafting. I was super surprised to find a game like this that didn’t shove ads in your face every 15 seconds. The game is also really interesting! It’s lacking in features but Reddit is showing much to come fairly soon.

Thought you were sneaky huh. Advanced crafting and gathering mechanics are stolen straight from final fantasy XIV online. They are an exact copy. The mechanics are exactly the same. They are an EXACT MATCH. They are not “unique” as advertised. Seems kind of low to rip off an idea and call it unique. Art is alright, gameplay is shallow even for an idle game. “What are you supposed to do/work towards after crafting equipment that helps you craft and gather more/better/faster?” Nothing, that’s it. Thats the whole game. Very empty.

Please come back. This game is the closest game I’ve played to A Dark Room. Which I absolutely loved. I want this to keep growing, or at least the idea expanded on in a sequel. Please don’t abandon this

Missing something. I find this game really fun because of the user made market, but I feel like there could be more. I like being able to move about the map for different resources, but being able to move only four places really limits the gameplay.

Potential but crashes a lot. I tried three times over three days to boot it up and play. Worked about 5 minutes ago for 3 minutes. I dig the style of the game a lot, but I can’t trust it to work right now. I will check in for bug fixes and updates. If it improves I will try to update my review.

It’s neat. It’s a neat game, but the always online part of it makes it not good. Even with good internet you still have issues. You will try and craft something and it won’t register, or if you cancel your gathering it won’t register. It also takes like a minute to switch around, and when you finally do switch you lose connection and have to start over what you were doing

pretty great idle game. This game takes a unique turn on concept of MMO and turned it to a enjoyable and addicting idle game. I was surprised how I got engaged into this game, as a lot of idle games easily lost my interested. Totally recommended for idle game seekers out there, or people who wants to explore idle games.

Could be great, but the bugs…. It has a ton of potential but is currently riddled with costly bugs and game crashes. The developers really need to address the bugs, crashes and hire a UI/UX person. I mention the UI/UX person because the developers expect you to randomly click all kinds of things with no indication those things are clickable. Hopefully I’ll be giving this game 5 stars in the future.

Just tedious. The concept is good, but they have made just the most complicated system for “you need to level up” the game is buggy, crashes all the time. What makes me more frustrated is just how hard it is to play. You hit a level to unlock a craft recipes but you have to have a gear level to craft it? So freaking clunky.

An Amazing Idle RPG. Usually I don’t leave reviews for games on the App Store, but this one took me by surprise… It’s simplistic enough to comprehend, but complicated enough to learn. Super cute and pixel-y, and an amazing UI built right around the iPhone.

Its been a while!. This game concept is what I've been looking for. I hope this game continues to grow with more Tiers, levels, creativity. Until then I’ma be looking forward to whats next.

Incremental With An Economy. This game is still new but has one thing I’ve been looking for, player interaction. Many idle/incremental games don’t have a way to interact with any other players. A nomination of their simple UI and player driven market already puts it leagues above the rest.

Sadly unplayable. The constant refreshing due to what I can only assume is the server disconnecting happens constantly. Even making a character I had to start over 30+ times due to refresh, if I wasn’t frantically trying to see all of the options before I had to re enter my name for the nth time I would appreciate the pixel art. Please figure out how to fix this, it happens almost every five seconds and I actually want to play this game.

Interesting game for sure!!. I’ve spent a few days playing now. It’s honestly a pretty good game. The only problem I have with it is the fact that everytime I use the item store my game crashes. Not too big of a deal to be honest. I’d still recommend this game for sure!!!!

Amazing. My iGN is Bloodyreap this game even in its early stages has so much potential I can’t wait to see what the devs come up with in the future updates!! 10/10 recommend!

Best game in the making. This game just started and has a long way to go but I recommend getting in now. This is going to be a hot hot game by this time next year! Get in now!

What’s this message mean. “Oops! There was an error. The operation couldn’t be completed. (Unknown error error 0.) Follow the status update on Discord. “ Then there is a try again button which I’ve pushed hundereds of times to no avail. Game isn’t loading. That’s what I get every time I open the app. I don’t want to join Discord so what’s going on with this message???

Great idle game similar to Melvor idle. Really been enjoying the game since launch, wish I had know about their beta. Bear with the two person dev team in early days, they are working constantly to add to and improve the game. Active discord if you have any issues.

A hidden gem. I think Craftbound has a lot of potential, though as of writing this, the community is still small. There is much that this game has to offer, but it wont be everyones cup of tea

Connection issues. I’ve started receiving lots of error messages saying the data is not available and to join their discord server. At first, I thought this was a push for their discord server. now I believe the servers are overloaded and everything is safe server side. I’ll receive the message 3 to 5 times in a row. Restarting doesn’t help.

Crashes. Would be good if the screen didn’t go black after 3 seconds of running, then closing the app out doesn’t force it to restart the app. so when you open it, it’s still a black screen. I have to wait hours sometimes to re-open the app in a working state.

Good game. This game is very fun, although I have one concern, for some reason I will try gathering something and it won’t start, I am very confused and don’t know why this is happening

pretty good. definitely some bugs but so far I’ve enjoyed the game concept and find myself going back to the game multiple times throughout my day. keep up the good work

Potential is there, but buggy. The game is often unresponsive. Seems interesting and I bought the upgrades, but I’ve been disappointed with how unresponsive it feels. Seems too big out frequently. I’d suggest waiting for some updates.

Sever frequently down. Why is the game down so often, fun game, good idea. But when the servers not down the game has these micro crashes when trying to open certain windows.
