    Artists did well with the character models and environments, but this has less substance than any runner game I've ever played. No upgrade paths, no sense of speed, a pointless crafting system, zero excitement. If you like Crash then just go play 4. If you like runners, go play Temple Run or the Rayman mobile games.

    Another garbage shovelware with a recognizable skin. I can remember when crash was somewhat dorky, now he looks and acts like an absolute degenerate. Another franchise ripped for a cheap, fast buck.

    Me encanta Crash Bandicoot, pero juegos como este los hay por montones y son todos iguales, el susodicho no es la excepción.

    I mean it's not the worst game, I can see myself playing it while need to pass time, but overall, for me it's not much crash bandicoot, it's just Subway Surfer with Crash.. Also, payments always in front of your face, grind and waiting, all those things make this game not the worst, but definitely not good. Crash deserves better..

    Boring game with a ton of item and mechanics based on money. No story and too easy levels

    At first the game is quite amusing and fun but soon after that it becomes repetitive

    Boring and incredibly repetitive. It's fun for a few hours but soon you'll be putting it down.

    Mobile games have the ability to be good. With a mix of balanced, worthwhile gameplay and decent, non-predatory microtransactions, mobile games can work. This game doesn't work. The gameplay is a poor adaptation of Crash Bandicoot's gameplay, and it doesn't understand why Crash has levels. There's nothing to remember here other than the time you spend waiting. It's utter garbage.

    Crash Bandicoot: On The Run is a fun, but overly simple mobile rendition of one of gaming’s greatest mascots. Overly aggressive advertising and an in-game economy that doesn’t respect players’ time sour what could have been a memorable endless runner...It’s less 'On The Run', and more endlessly waiting around.

    There are countdown timers, bosses are oft-repeated re-skins with identical action, and Crash’s runs soon become repetitious, with progress gated behind either a tedious grind or microtransactions. Despite its colourful palette On the Run! is almost aggressively bland.
