Bringing forward such a classic game will naturally have challenges, and this developer has done an admirable job with a substantial legacy. To cross-platform the game into a touch-screen interface, too, requires finesse and a sense of style that the author has achieved admirably. As with any app, however, there are two modes of thought in the developer community regarding audio. This game doesn’t give players the annoying choice between the developer’s sounds or Total. Silence., but neither does it let user-driven audio be the dominant/only noise. There is no volume control in game at all. Apart from that, this remains the paragon of early fps games, faithfully made playable in the modern world. Neither DOOM, nor Quake, this was the bridge between 2-D and 3-D engines that paved the way for COD, CS, UT, and most directly Halo. I’m so glad this got made. :-) -- Westonianism, 2025-09-05 ### ***** "Good game bad controls" You got to play this game it is amazing but the controls are awful -- Halo is more fun, 2025-08-12 ### *---- "HORRIBLE controls" Clown show joke. Absolutely pathetic -- JJJ888EEE, 2025-03-19 ### ***** "Marathon" Love bungie -- Dude buffalo, 2025-03-15 ### ****- "A fun mobile port with some issues" After extensive play I can say I really like this. It’s fun. Except… that dumb option where releasing from the movement control or really just using the movement control activates terminals or interacts with the environment. EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT OPTION DISABLED! On top of that I hate the auto-fire and wish for there to be an option to turn that off too. It’s weird when you start firing, but it’s not you and suddenly you have less ammo than when you started. Also, added customization for buttons would be nice because the trigger buttons are annoying to use with how small they are. When you’re just trying to fire bullets from the assault rifle sometimes it’s real easy to slip into the middle and grenade yourself. One more thing to mention, sometimes after start up when entering a mission everything is plastered in a green or turquoise tint. I know it’s a port, so despite all of that, it’s still a really good game I recommend playing. -- WarrOnMyself, 2025-02-12 ### ***** "I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME AVAILABLE" Beautifully done, amazing graphics and gameplay, actually like playing on a console. Well done and THANK YOUUUU! 90’s video game nerds love youuuu 😘😘 -- GracieCall222, 2025-01-01 ### ***** "Nice update sir" Id love to contact whoever is maintaining this project on the AppStore. Great job! -- flapjackk077, 2024-12-24 ### ***** "Masterpiece" I can't believe that the people that made halo made this game haw -- Alexander 46810, 2024-12-18 ### ***-- "No Online Joining" I keep trying to join an online game and I get 5 bots and I can’t even start the game. -- Aetherworlder (original), 2024-12-11 ### ***** "Love the trilogy" Have loved this series since its release on the Macintosh back in the ‘90s. Glad it has been ported to mobile. -- TaiPai59, 2024-11-04 [View all Classic Marathon reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Classic Marathon In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | HD Mode | $0.99 | | Master Chief Mode | $0.99 | | Enhanced Reticules | $0.99 | | A pretty good tip | $4.99 | | Just a tip | $0.99 | | A good tip | $2.99 | | Not the smallest tip | $1.99 | | An excellent tip | $7.99 | | Better than the best tip | $20.99 | | The best possible tip | $12.99 | ## Classic Marathon Discovered Keywords -
