About The Escapists

Dive in the multi-million selling prison escape game, now on Android!

Craft, Steal, Brawl and ESCAPE!

You’ve landed yourself in prison again, and your only chance is to engineer an escape by any means necessary. How you do it is up to you! Why not cause a prison riot? Or dig a tunnel right under the walls of the prison? Or even steal a guard uniform to blend in with your captors?

The Escapists is a unique prison sandbox experience with lots of items to craft and combine in your daring quest for freedom. Life in prison will keep you on your toes with the strict rules that you’ll have to break. The guards are out to stop any escape attempts, so you’ll have to avoid suspicious behaviour by attending roll calls, working a prison job and hiding your stolen craftables.

Escaping is what you do best, and you’ll have to prove your skills in a variety of challenging prisons from across the world.

This is a great port for the pc version. Ive just run into a few bugs. Sometimes your hotbar will disappear and you can not pick up or put down items, then sometimes you are forced to fight people and you cannot run away, if you do, you automatically run back to them. Other than that, amazing!

A good game that just needs a few improvements to be really great. The only problem I have is the fact that random characters will just attack me for no reason as I pass by, and I will end up in the infirmary with none of my contraband items. If you could fix this it would be great because this is a really good game.

This game is a great port! It's exactly like the PC version. But... there's a couple things about the gameplay I find sort of frustrating. Sometimes you're forced to fight someone, and the game forcefully pushes you at the target. Also, You can get beat up while the opening transition is playing. This port is new, so I still think it's great, but if those bugs could be fixed the game could be even better

I love the Escapists. Great Game! Just some feedback and bugs I found were. I would be playing and my hotbar would disappear and I could pick up or drop anything. 2nd I would use a Plastic Key and it would use durability, and I wouldn't even walk through the door. Team17 Keep up the AMAZING Work! Doing Great

I'm loving the game so much, but I do have one frustration. The controls aren't very good, don't get me wrong, better than most games, but due to the game style and the actions you perform; I really really want to be able to connect a controller. If there is a way to, that I just over looked that's fine, but if you can add controller compatability in an update, that would rock. Thanks.

The game is pretty good just like it is on Pc. Its a pretty good way to kill time. I've had some people when I actually press the attack button and my character launches himself to anyone in his way but its not that much of a problem. I'd love a mode to design my own prison and how difficult it would be. Another thing would be great is dlc like on steam it would be pretty cool. But still this game is hands down a must buy.

Overall I think it's great, it would be amazing if you added controller support. I do have one problem though, it's too easy. You can easily activate prison takeover in one day. Please make it harder.

Well when I got this my friend me to get it so I tested it on his phone It was Awesome but on here it won"t even play it always said invalid license what does that mean?!?!PLZ fix it.

No mouse and keyboard support, not even the ability to use the mouse for touch inputs. That's a major turn off for tablet players like myself. I can live without the detachable keyboard that came with my tablet but the mouse makes things much easier. I like this game. I want to enjoy it. But it's hard to do that when I'm more focused on the controls than the actual game

I like it in the PC but it won't let me get in. It says license invalid what does that Mean and can you help?? Can you please reply because this is wasting my money.

This is a great port! The controls can be awkward at times but you get used to it. My only request is that you add the additional maps.

Q70%
by Q####:

PLEASE READ!!!!! This is a great game i beat it on PC . though there are a few ISSUES 1 FIRST, the control stick it is WAY TO SMALL I would appreciate being able to change its size 2. SECOND, When you are under attack you automatically begin to fight back (Which is good) but I have found no way to cancel it and the guards usually beat me up for it. 3. THIRD, The Inmates have become very VERY hateful and vengeful You can beat them up and they will get right back up and try you again. People seem to hate you more as well. 4. FOURTH, The doors do not lock during lockdown so inmates come out and try to fight you while your dealing with the guards (Not a HUGE problem) 5.)Fifth, interfacing with the touch screen with joystick controls would be helpful.( Such as: placing posters or wall blocks with tapping, using tools etc. ) 6. SIXTH, this is a great game and I have high hopes for a mobile version (Which I have ALWAYS wanted) I hope EVENTUALLY you add in some of the bonus prisions from PC (such as: Camp Epsilon , Fort Bamford, Paris Central Pen , London Tower , Duct tapes are forever , Santas Sweatshop, Escape Team. Etc) I understand this is fairly new and this will take time but I have hope and faith in you. (Also thanks for reading my long spiel)

I love watching people play the game but when I bought and downloaded it, it said invalid license. Reddit said it ment I needed a Internet connection and I have one. I'm so mad I just spent 4 bucks. (Alot for me) and now I don't know why I can't play it.

F70%

This is a great game. The graphics, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the AI. Everything is perfect. However, I have played the Xbox and PC version and I noticed some unusual behaviour with the mobile version. All inmates on Center Perks had no weapon, or a reasonably good weapon as I spawned. I punched one of the inmates at morning rollcall to find that the guards hit them and not me. I then went on to steal their nunchuks (again in front of guards) and the guards didn't do a thing about it. At breakfast, the guards just watched as I beat up fellow guards and when it was lockdown, I could easily throw a riot as all the guards were bunched up in a corner. Then, I escaped at 10:03 (world record?). The guard system for both Center Perks and Stalag Flucht make it extremely easy to escape on the first day. Overall, however, this game is brilliant and I can't wait for the sequel.

Can you ad community levels and dlcs from the pc version please and a low quality graphics opinion please thank you

Fix the combat system so that when I am in combat the game doesn't force me to go near the person that I accidently targeted and make it so I can cancel the lock on it would be a lot better because on PC you can quit fighting mode manually so it would be a lot better and also when the person is locked on there should be a smaller screen that shows the person's location
