  • Great Game but Terrible Interface

    I play this game on my smart phone and it has the most annoying user interface.

    The attack button and the interact button and tiny and RIGHT next to each other on the screen. In addition, they cannot be moved nor can their sizes be altered, which is typical in other IOS games.

    Meanwhile, clicking on things on screen consistently clicks on the wrong asset. I tried to open a chest but instead Wilson goes to chop down a tree! What?!

    My most recent character death happened when I was trying to cook in the crockpot but Wilson instead attacked my domesticated beefalo who then killed me.

    Don’t starve is a great game on other systems but this port just isn’t playable. You can’t reliably kite enemies, interact/attack mix-ups make the game incredibly frustrating, trying to pick up certain items in tight spaces is next to impossible since the grab button will seemingly grab things randomly while touching the screen isn’t reliable either.

    It really saddens me to see the game like this. I really do enjoy Don’t Starve on other systems, but I just can’t bring myself to play it on mobile
    any more.

  • Best Game

    I’ve been playing this for years. Played the entire game through on computer years ago when people were modding it, great fun!! Bought every edition at different times. Played it on steam. Play it on my phone. One low price to! Unlike phone apps with constant ads and pay to play. Nothing bad in it. Created my own world for more of an Alone type feel. Camping, breeding pigs, gardening, cooking, fires. It’s like my own little world. I go on and check on my Buffalo and feed my pigs berries, sometimes we kill frogs (there’s to many!) and I took out the monsters. No monsters! I’ll never get tired of it!! Never!! You can’t make me stop playing it!!!

  • A really good game

    Don’t starve is an amazing survival game. When playing, you often feel hopeless and lost. Almost every enemy is scary in it’s own way, even small things like spiders can be unsettling. It’s extremely hard to find some materials and forces you to explore way more and go into different places. Even if you’ve played the game for a while, you can still find more and more interesting things in the world. Don’t starve is a way more brutal and realistic game compared to a game like minecraft. It has seasons with different monsters appearing in each one, and weather that can actually affect you. If you want a good challenge, you should play this game.

  • Really fun game

    I love this game so much I go through periods where I don’t pick it up for a while but when I do I play for hours on end. Recently however the app has been freezing while I try to play, it happens randomly and eventually makes the app crash. Once it does crash it stops lagging but it still a bit annoying that it kicks you out of the game, I also saw other people mention it but listening to music or podcasts while playing is not possible and it doesn’t always bother me unless I want to play while I need to be DJ in the car

  • Love this game but the new update broke rabbits

    I can’t believe the developers updated the game after 2 years anyway I love this game one of my new favorites. About the new update it won’t allow me to murder rabbits in my tool bar I have to drop them and kill them. Would recommend this game for survival lovers and if you have Apple Arcade would recommend giving it a try. It’s so unforgiving and there is so much to learn and uncover.

  • Love this game you shod download it one issue.....

    The game is amazing but... when you die in the game it restarts you all over. It’s fine you could invite your friends. I just wish that it would save your progress yes I know that you could find something in the game and if you die I’ll save your progress I just wish that even though if you didn’t find it it’s still save your progress... it’s a amazing game you should download it!!!! For some reason I’m not unlocking new characters it only says retry which is kind of sad because I wanted to unlock a lot of characters say that you survived 100 days it’s like if you got a certain point you wouldn’t get characters anymore that really made me sad but it’s an amazing game.

  • Controls are bad

    I bought this pocket edition probably 4 or maybe even 5 years ago and I’m a big fan. I took like a year break and after updating the game I noticed that controls on the bottom left corner were switched to 4-sided controls.. which is not very comfortable in combat.
    I used to run and chose direction with my left hand and combat/collect with right, now I need to just run with both hands moving all over the screen..if it makes sense.
    I’m a big oldie fan of don’t starve, I always come back to this game. I still enjoy the mobile version but this inconvenience makes me rather irritated :(

  • Wish it would fix the bugs.

    I absolutely love this game, but I’ve notice that on some characters the game will begin to glitch usually when I’m close to 10-20 days in and all of a sudden no matter how many time I strike a monster/enemy they won’t die. No matter the weapon. Ultimately causing me to lose the game as I become swarmed and they can’t be defeated. Other then that everything is perfect, if I could make any other request it would be maybe having a setting that allows hints and clue to upgrade things/go places.

    Have the same glitches/problems in both game, Don’t starve, and Don’t Starve:Shipwrecked.
