Rageworthy

Sheesh. This game kinda makes me wanna... Become a sniper. I highly recommend A Dark Room (Play it before this), and I think you might rage even harder at A Noble Circle. 10/10. Would wanna become a sniper again.
Sigh....

This game is annoying. To say the least. I am leaving a five star review not because of the immediate gameplay, but because of the creativity of the developer and the way he has managed to create an immense feeling of satisfaction when you succeed at even the smallest task. I have not yet completed the game. Also, note that this is not a marathon game. If played in small intervals, you will eventually get used to inevitable failure and, when faced by it, simply sigh and take a break. For all it's infuriating aspects, it's overpowered bosses, it's taunting and it's overall atmosphere of "Still trying? I pity your inability to forded the inevitable", this is a masterfully created game, and I will complete it. I WILL. After I go bang my head against the wall....
Phenomenal

Easily the best app I've ever played. Despite it being difficult and extremely frustrating, it's worth it. Left me in awe. If you are a fan of ADR, you will love this. I imagined The Ensign as a desolate battlefield. In my mind, I imagined buildings destroyed and humans struggling to survive. At first, I thought of myself as the hero and the defectors and humans as the bad guys. However, as the narrative unfolded, I began to question everything I did and why I did it (which I assume is exactly what the creator wanted). This is a beautifully made and very well thought through app. I can't wait for the next addition to the Wanderer's story!
Absolutely amazing

This game is fantastic! Kept me hooked for hours, and when I finally, finally beat the game it was the best feeling. Wish I knew how many times I had died ? It's worth a buck and then some, and if the plethora of 5-star reviews haven't convinced people to buy it, let me assure you ~ this game is a diamond in the rough. You will not regret it!
Incredible.

This is, by an insurmountable entity, the best mobile game I've ever played. I've just beat the game and learned that there's more to uncover! I love the... Rawness, of this game. The fear and power it gives you. I've recommended this to every friend I have and will continue to do so. Thank you for making this!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Wonderful Game

I really appreciated the effort put into this game. This developer stands out as someone who wants to make games that are memorable experiences. He's earned my trust to the point that I will check out anything he does. I had many hours of enjoyment from The Ensign.
Tremendous applause

Absolutely beautiful and stunning in all aspects of the game. When you think you got the story "down pat", you don't. There is so much more for you to discover. To the new players, do not make haste with this game as you probably did with A Dark Room, take your time and explore the unexplored, you won't regret it. Have fun and safe hunting ;). May the fire burn brightly, and may it keep you warm! ;)
Sadistic Game Design, Lame Attitude
Harborman Jack
Enjoying A Dark Room, I got The Ensign. This game is a perfect example of rigged, mean-spirited game design. After you get to a certain point, an over-powered unit always kills your character and the developer starts giving you weird taunting messages. Maybe it's intended as encouragement to keep playing, but it's just negative bully stuff. If you keep playing, you're given extra items and a larger initial map, and it makes you feel pretty lame. Especially when the same over-powered unit is there to kill you again. If you keep playing (dying) and deal with the developer's ego messages, it's a pretty easy game to beat. There's a spaceship ending with the same crap. But the attitude issue remains, and the game suffers from sadistic design ideas. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times in an attempt to defeat the over-powered unit -- no avail. Too much time and energy for a lame dev's attitude.
Could be better

I have played through Dark room countless times, seeing this was of the same design as the dark room was, I bought it. I started the game, I had a pretty good strategy going, and then I came across the iron mine. The enemies delt way too much damage. You need to lower it, or increase the amount of food found. I'm dying way too often.
