## Gurk III - the 8 Description
Old-school RPG fans, rejoice! Gurk III is here and it is a lovingly-crafted game in the style of the great 8-bit RPGs of the 1980s. The crisply-pixelated icons, the painstakingly-emulated analog synth music, the hack'n'slash ethos, it's all here!

The gameplay and interface are simple, but the world is large and the tactics run deep. Roll stats for three heroes chosen from nine character classes, then explore a world with vast wildernesses, 50+ dungeon levels, 125+ creatures and 200+ unique items, all accompanied by a soundtrack of 20 original songs, scored in 8-bit synth emulators. Why, this ain't your parents' RPG, it's your grandparents'!

"THERE WILL BE PIXELS"

## Gurk III - the 8 Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great Fun"
Scratches the RPG/gameboy nostalgia itch just right! Very fun
-- Iksar1, 2025-12-19

### ****- "My favorite mobile game but…"
I adore the gurk series, but this one in particular will just randomly delete my data and I gotta start over. I’ll get to the end of the game sometimes and go back to play it and my data is gone.. it’s very depressing. I would absolutely give this 5 stars but this issue is too big to ignore.
-- Shopdki, 2025-10-17

### ***** "Perfect retro RPG"
Simple, engaging game-play in a very large world.  Pretty much perfect little retro RPG!  Love how the different characters you can chose have different abilities do you can replay the game & it will be a bit different (I’m in my 2nd time)
-- LolaBonny1, 2024-03-26

### *---- "A good game that’s unfortunately broken"
This game seems really good, but I simply can’t recommend it in its current state. GURK III WILL NOT SAVE YOUR PROGRESS!
-- Gibblejip, 2023-12-02

### **--- "Great game, but can’t save"
Great game I’ve had it for years and periodically decide to boot it up and 100%  play through every few months. Last couple of times I’ve played it won’t keep a save. After saving it and closing the app, I’ll find that upon reopening it there is no option to continue. 5 stars if this is fixed.
-- Jmoe4, 2023-01-24

### **--- "Broken save system"
I love this game, but there is a bug that deletes your saved game if your device runs low on memory, or something similar. I really wish this bug would be fixed because the game is great, but playing an RPG where your progress can be lost at any point is senseless
-- Narshil, 2022-06-18

### ***** "The best game I’ve ever played on my iPhone."
I’ve been playing games on my iPhone for over 10 years, and this game is my favorite. I wish there were a sequel.
-- sirrayiv, 2021-12-08

### *---- "Deleted file"
Deleted my file! Great game but can’t be great if it deletes!
-- Kingtutt33, 2021-07-26

### ***** "GUYS READ THIS ABOUT SAVE FILES"
This is the most nostalgic take you back to 1980's 8 bit rpg. The music for every part of the game is absolutely unbelievable.

Edit: Guys I reached out to the devs and he told me this. 
The reason the save files are being deleted randomly has to due with your storage space. The lower the memory the higher the chance it will delete your save to clear room. They said it's a framework problem. Just glad to figure it out so I asked about how much room to keep and will post back.

Edit: Never got an answer however having less than 3gb of space is usually when I lose my save file. Lost my let's play by recording too much and about 10 normal save files before that.
-- Bkrenfro, 2021-06-30

### ***** "Solid"
Great game!
Combat is simple, maps are straight forward and mechanics are in depth enough to keep you entertained.
If you want a fun, no ads and no pay to win classic turn-based RPG, start here!
Edit: the last-last-last boss is a real treat.
