## 1979 Revolution Reviews in United States

### ***** "iPadOS 18.4"
It is not fully optimized on  the iPadOS 18.4, sometimes it crashes and closes. Please optimize for iPadOS 18.4.
-- steve2016., 2025-04-07

### **--- "Game keep crashing"
The game keeps crashing after chapter 19.
-- Master.sepi, 2024-05-31

### *---- "Iranian player"
This game is full of lies. It is full of historical mistakes. From the beginning... Asadullah Lajevardi has never been a torturer. He was a very kind man. But the political expediency of the game makers required them to include these lies in the game. This game does not correctly represent the history of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. I advise those who play this game to independently study the history and facts of the Iranian Islamic Revolution. Hoping that one day all the people of the world will be aware of the facts and peaceful message of Iran's Islamic Revolution
-- ali313ali, 2023-02-17

### ***** "Thank you"
Thank you to the courageous creators. This is the best of what app games can do for humanity.
-- ?Really???, 2020-10-08

### ***** "All around great game 10 out of 10 for real!"
I love the concept and story. It feels like your in a movie. I love how the game is built around real history and how the history is incorporated into the game. Great graphics. I can tell a lot of time went in to making this game. It should get way more recognition than it has gotten! So glad I came across it and decided to purchase it! Try it you will love it too!
-- lolo713, 2020-06-20

### ***** "Awesome"
I love it it’s one of the great games ever !!!
-- Shaeshaeee, 2020-03-28

### **--- "девушка в штанах как лидер рядом с со сторонникам исламской революции"
Абсолютный бред. Вообще понятно, что хотели донести друзья сценами из тюрьмы(показать западным, что революшн задумывалась как "Иран свободный от всего" а на деле власть захватили духовники, что, в принципе, является первым предложением моего поста.) , такой манямирок. Момент с выбором между Али и братом(САВАК) - выбираешь лидера сопротивления - получаешь двойных пи**лей от победителей революции. Выбираешь брата(САВАК) все ништяк(якобы). В какой вселенной это реально спрогнозировать, если я хочу выбрать своими действиями ту или иную сторону? Но что больше всего развеселило это девушка в штанах как лидер рядом с со сторонникам исламской революции. Ну просто вышка.
-- axelmurf, 2020-01-14

### ***** "Make another one please"
I was so in love with it I just need another one
-- jackexplains, 2019-11-24

### ***** "Incredible, why can’t there be more games like this?"
One of the most amazing and powerful gaming experiences imaginable. Scary, intense, inspiring.
-- Mckimby, 2019-08-28

### ***-- "Update"
Kindly update for iphone xs max
-- Zohaib ayyaz malik, 2019-02-18

### **--- "Not really much of a game"
I appreciate what this is trying to do/be but this is strictly infotainment, not a game. The choices are largely inconsequential and there isn’t much to do.
-- typo_kign, 2018-12-15

### ***-- "فارسی کنین بازی رو"
Please game language is persian im not understand
-- Mahdi46, 2018-06-25

### ***** "Please more!!!"
I played this game and I really liked what was going on but I wish there was more to the story! I felt like some of my choices really did not have any consequences to the change of the story and it left us on a cliffhanger making me want more! I hope you guys do more games like this ( or make a part 2)! Keep you the good work!
-- Mummy Eye 2234, 2018-01-19

### ***** "Outstanding..."
This is less of a game and more of a slightly interactive story. But what a story! If you've played Telltale games, this is no different. It drops you into another place and time in history. The acting, plotting, emotion, and authenticity were stellar. I learned a lot and feel like a more informed person after playing this. Definitely recommended!
-- kaiser147, 2018-01-19

### ****- "I love the authenticity of this game"
It’s historically accurate, choices matter, you are pressured to make those choices quickly, just like this kind of revolutionary prisoner would have to.  It’s definitely a must play if you are into the genra tell tale has pioneered.
-- ShalaJC, 2017-11-19

### ***** "عالي"
بازي بسيار قشنگ و عالي....مخصوصا داستانش
-- Amirfani, 2017-10-08

### ****- "is there a second part"
honestly for ios game this is a 5/5 i just wish it was longer cuz i loved this i definitely recommend this
-- thedarknight5275, 2017-09-10

### ***-- "Too little time to make a choice"
Some of us don't speak English as a 1st language so we need more time to skim the choices.
-- awesome simple app, 2017-09-08

### ***** "عالي"
Good
-- Mohammadzahi, 2017-07-13

### ***** "A+"
This an unbelievable game, realistic and very close to events in Iran. 
Done right. Thank you.
-- Nimoli-5R, 2017-07-13
