For iOS folks who haven’t been able to play

I updated my OS a while back and Blades stopped working. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it only to find that it’s been removed from the App Store entirely (what with the pending end of the game, I suppose).

It was disappointing- I’m only a few quests from actually beating the game (been holding off because I guess I don’t like being “done” with things, but that’s a psychological discussion for another time). I just accepted that I won’t be able to access the game anymore.

UNTIL I CHANCED UPON THE GAMES APP! I don’t really use my phone for too much- Reddit, YouTube, work. The Games app has been relatively untouched.

*BUT.* I went in on a whim and saw my “recently played” games. Blades was there, and it had an option to reinstall! And it worked!!

So, now I can polish off those last few quests :) Hopefully, if anyone else has been having this issue with their iPhone, this can help!

Super dumb fix, perhaps, but this is a super dumb user we’re talking about here, folks. Love you all; maybe I’ll see you in the arena. (I’m Arikizza, the purple lizard lady! I will probably send you a heart emote. 🫶)

Thank you. I know your post helped out others with the same problem. I remember your post before and its not just iOS but android also. Fortunately I had a switch and finished it finally

Absolutely!! It feels nice to help out, even when it’s a silly little thing like this silly little game that silly little me came to love. I think I might be remembering you too, from a comment. Glad you got to beat the game, and I’m glad that I’m going to be able to join you in that!
