Following the Night City Wire showcase, CD Projekt RED released a free runner titled Move, Roach! for Android and iOS within the Witcher universe.
Players have quickly weighed in, populating Google Play and the App Store with impressions. The Android version averages about 4.8 out of 5, while the iOS release sits around 4.9 out of 5. Overall, fans have embraced the title as a refreshing take on the franchise’s world, with some joking that it might be CD Projekt RED’s best game yet.
Here are the reviews from players, kept in the original spelling:
“This is the best game of CD project red! This game tells about the adventures of the main character of the series of games and books The Witcher, Roach, and her assistant Geralt. Also, if you delve into the plot and small details, you can find many references to the company’s other projects and cult works such as Scarface, American Psycho and more”— Ryickle.
“It seems like a simple game, but it’s so exciting to play, especially the music and the ability to customize the background. It would be nice to add Roach customizations and new modes.”— Duty fighter.
“Thanks to the cd project for this game. This is certainly not on the level of cyberpunk 2077, but it is good. It would be great if there were more voice acting— alpamas.
“The game is great, but the hitboxes of cockroaches or harpies are too big; it can feel like it misses a swing”– Vochara.
“I haven’t launched this game yet, but I’m confident it will be the best mobile game for at least four years. The five-star rating speaks to that.”– Hard pepper.
“Thank you, projects! Genius in simplicity!”— Marianne Altman.
“So this is what a cockroach does while Geralt is busy with gwent! The game is simple for the soul and fans 10/10”– 7ergy.
“As a player of the third Witcher and cyberpunk, I can proudly say that this masterpiece exceeded my expectations.”– Arsenii Akhtyrskyi.
“Brilliant, 12 out of 10”— Mitsu 44.
The project is developed by Crunching Koalas, with CD Projekt RED acting as the sole publisher. In terms of gameplay, the experience is a classic pixel-art runner where players sprint through diverse locales, collect fruits, hop over obstacles, and dodge foes drawn from The Witcher universe. A new 2B figure from Nier: Automata appears in the mix.
