Reviews for Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition

I can't rotate the camera anymore and sometimes my game will stop responding to touch input altogether to the point that I can't even save my progress to close the app and open it again. There is so much potential with this game but so many bugs too. I'm guessing mobile version is not their top priority as it is not their top earner. It's really a shame though because this game could be hours of fun, if it worked all the time.

The game Don't Starve is a really good one with a nice game concept. I really enjoy it however over 2 years of playing this game I started to notice some bugs like when I was in world #5 and I just went to the rope in the ruins to return to the caves. When I went to the caves, all of my things I had in my inventory was gone (including ruins items). This did not just happen once, but 4 times leading up to my 7th world playing. Also, there happens to be an annoying crash when you descend/save.

I think that this game is great. Whether you play to beat adventure or just to kill giants and survive long, it's excellent. However, placing things like walls is often harder than it needs to be, and I've had a bug that has ruined two of my worlds now. Going to cave depths 2 causes the game and my phone to freeze up completely, and since it autosaves, the worlds are ruined, and you don't get the XP from them either. This is a major problem that blocks me from accessing all the late game items.

You may want to invest in a joystick for this game. It can sometimes get confused as to which action you want it to perform. I was trying to pick up an object in-game and the game character started walking around instead. You end up just using your thumb for movement AND THEN pressing the pick up or melee button, not both at once. Otherwise you encounter that movement glitch. Otherwise, a good game.

I love this game, the art and music is amazing. The gameplay is challenging but rewarding, I have been hooked ever since I first got it. I love the characters backstories. But the controls are alittle wonky and combat really isn't all that good. Other than that I would say this works well for a mobile game. The main menu does feel a little chaotic, if it was a little more simplistic I would like it more.

I love this game and I've had this game installed since I got my phone nearly 6 months ago. This recent update last month has been quite a horrible one. While the game is always a tad slow to start, that hasn't been an issue, what HAS been an issue is I suddenly can't turn the camera for different angles. I've learned to rely on that to play, and it became second nature, and now it suddenly doesn't work. The other issue would definitely be the attack button sticking, and attacking nothing at all

Good. BUT, faced a huge bug as well.The game runs well with all the mechanics working smoothly except when you go down to the ruins, then the game will immediately crash. Since you can not move around to get out of the ruins either; this means you can not do anything, even die and get the experience, but delete the save. That was a let down as I was fully prepared for the ruins and that took a good amount of time too. Except for that the game plays great!

I've loved this game since it came out on steam for pc and I really like the click and drag aspect of it. The app is similar but I'd really appreciate it if the toggle for moving your character wasn't there and instead was the same as clicking anywhere on the screen like the pc version. The toggle makes it difficult to see where you're going because your finger is in the way most of the time while travelling and your character could possibly run right into a spider nest, hornets nest, or tall bird areas without noticing before it's too late to avoid. I want to be able to move my character around by clicking anywhere on the screen like the pc version and not only on items I can pick up. Does anyone else feel the same?

I love this game on PC and was surprised to see that this version is very well made. The controls are smooth and I haven't encountered any major bugs so well done devs! Update: There's one bug I found where the controls seldomly freeze up and I can only move my character but I can't pause, craft, or view the map. I have to restart the app for it to go away but I lose progress if I havent saved.

I have only one issue. There a bug that doesnt allow my touch to be recognized. For example, I die and when i am come back i cant move, interact with my hotbar, or pause so i can save and quit. It has happened a few times without me dying. It will save and then glitch for a second then i wont be able to do anything. Other than that, its a great game. Amazing graphics, great feel, and it has nice cinamatics.
