Review summary

Slender Rising delivers a nostalgic Slender experience with solid horror moments, extensive content, and good value. However, it suffers from stability and device-compatibility issues on newer iPhones, and has seen little modern updates. Fans want more maps, additional screens, and features like multiplayer or controller support. Overall it’s beloved for atmosphere and nostalgia, but would benefit from updates and improved stability.

Pros

Nostalgic Slender vibe that many players remember fondly.
Extensive content across multiple maps, game modes, and ambiences for replayability.
Good value for money with a solid horror experience and strong visuals.
Engaging, scary gameplay that keeps players hooked.
No ads and generally smooth visuals/graphics on supported devices.

Cons

Recurring stability issues: crashes at startup or during level load.
Compatibility problems on newer iPhones (screen scaling not updated; size issues on recent devices).
Few updates in years; limited ongoing support and new content.
Requests for more content and features (more maps, Game Over screens, multiplayer, controller support).

2026-06-25	lo*****	I didn’t imagine myself buying a game from my childhood in the big ‘26, but here I am! This was incredibly well-made for its time. Simple concept of needing to survive Slenderman in a spooky setting. Happy with how smoothly it has run on my old Apple iPad and now on my newer iPhone. Well-worth the price, too!

2022-08-01	bo*****	This game is good for the price. I like the variation of modes and the logic for The lost ward not having storm is cool. This game is awesome for just a quick spook and good for long play sessions! Awesome game 9 years ago, good game in 2022

2021-09-10	iR*****	Used to have this game on my old account on my iPhone 5s. So I decided to come back and rebuy it to see if I can get the nostalgia of once playing this game. It’s still a great game don’t get me wrong. It’s just the screen size was never updated to fit the new iPhone 12 mini (and I’m guessing all iPhone 10 and up) so I’m forced to play like I was on the iPhone 5s. It’s not a bad purchase though, just wish this was fixed and it’s highly unlikely it will be (last update 5 years ago). 3 stars.
