User Reviews

Reviewers praise Maneater's mobile port for smooth performance on iPhone (120Hz), controller support, and a no-ads, content-rich upgrade. However, two recurring issues appear: save-game problems causing lost progress and pricing/branding confusion around the Try & Buy upgrade. Some mention long initial downloads or startup delays. Overall the port is well-received for mobile play and depth, with a couple of friction points.

Pros

Excellent mobile port with smooth performance on iPhone (including 120Hz).
Controller support enhances playability (works well with GameSir and other controllers).
No ads and a straightforward upgrade path; substantial content for many hours of play.
Thumb-friendly, console-like port that feels like a true Maneater experience on mobile.

Cons

Progress can fail to save, causing lost progress (reported by multiple users).
Pricing and branding around the Try & Buy upgrade is confusing and can feel like you’re paying for a low-value title.

I tried to join, but it kicked me out immediately I saw people playing and it looked really fun now I’m kind of sad. I was about to buy it, but I don’t wanna buy it if it’s just gonna kick me out.
