  • stability568 mentions

    • “Overall, I recommend this as it's not buggy at all.”
    • “It's a fun game that I found has no glitches.”
    • “No glitches or bugs, but they can happen 1 in 5 animatronics; it is fun.”

    • “The game is currently very buggy and it's possible it's going to remain that way until the end of time.”
    • “I originally gave this a 5-star rating, but honestly my opinion about this game has changed so much over the years; first of all, there has not been a new update in forever, and second of all, the game has so many glitches that it is literally unplayable.”
  • graphics516 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising their high quality and realism, especially for a mobile title. Players appreciate the detailed designs of the animatronics and the overall aesthetic, noting that the visuals enhance the horror experience.

    • “The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is super good; it's probably the best AR game of all time!”

    • “I cannot really defeat any other animatronic apart from the FNAF 1 ones because every time I face the other ones I usually end up having my FPS drop to 15-20, because the particle effects and the graphics of the other animatronics are too much, causing my phone to heat up and sometimes crash.”
    • “The main problem I'm having is just with graphical glitches.”
  • monetization199 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the minimal presence of ads and the option to earn in-game currency through watching ads. However, there is significant criticism regarding the high cost of in-app purchases and the difficulty of obtaining in-game currency without spending money, leading some to feel that the game leans towards a cash grab model. Overall, while the game is generally seen as enjoyable and not overly aggressive in its monetization, the reliance on microtransactions and the limited ways to earn currency are common points of frustration among players.

    • “There are in-app purchases, but they are optional.”
    • “Microtransactions are not shoved in your face and do not ruin gameplay.”
    • “I understand the game is free and microtransactions are inevitable, but it is near impossible to get faz-coins without paying.”
    • “Just a complete disappointment, and at this point, seems like nothing more than a pointless cash grab.”
    • “This game could have been great, the idea is great, but they screwed it with ads, bugs, overpriced microtransactions, and underwhelming rewards for people who actually play it.”

Many players appreciate the creepy ambiance and the detailed animatronic models, although some report issues with lag and camera tracking that detract from the tension.

    • “The atmosphere created is amazing.”

    • “The health bars ruin the game's atmosphere and make the horror aspect fade out.”
  • grinding33 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both enjoyable and frustrating; while the suspense and mechanics are engaging, many feel that the grind for rewards, such as plush suits and CPUs, is excessively tedious and often requires real money to bypass. The level system and resource management, particularly for batteries and coins, are criticized for being overly demanding, leading to a mixed experience where the fun is overshadowed by the grind. Overall, while the game has appealing elements, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment, especially for those unwilling to invest significant time or money.

    • “It's fun but there's so much grinding, and even when you do grind, there's so little chance to get a plush suit or a CPU for the endoskeletons. It's so difficult; why did you make it so hard that the only way to get some things is to buy them with real money?”
    • “There's bugs fairly frequently that require a relaunch, which loads pretty quick. The atmosphere is pretty good and can stress you out as it should, but there's no point to playing other than grinding for plush suits, which are excruciatingly rare and pointless other than for customizing an animatronic to go out and scavenge nothing of value.”
    • “The idea of the level system is good, but it's too grindy.”
  • replayability11 mentions

    Overall, players have mixed feelings about the game's replayability. While some enjoy significant replay value and find it engaging, others feel it lacks depth and variety, leading to boredom after short play sessions. Suggestions for improvement include adding a leveling system, more customization options, and adjustments to gameplay difficulty to enhance replayability.

    • “So far, my favorite AR game that has a ton of replay value for me.”
    • “Epic, a couple of loading issues but the game has great replay value and is possible to enjoy without spending much money.”
    • “Really great! I love the amount of replayability; the only thing I would ask for is to be able to turn down graphics or particles to help it run easier on some less advanced phones.”
    • “Honestly good game, the only thing is it kinda lacks replayability. Other than that, awesome graphics and nice jumpscares. If something is added to make the game more replayable, I would definitely give 5 stars because I really can't play for more than 30 minutes without getting bored.”
    • “But there isn't much replayability to the old games.”
    • “However, there is decent replay value, so I am giving this 2 stars.”
