  • Excellent port

    I've owned this game for years, and upon finding out that it was available on IOS I bought it again.

    It's a slow-paced, punishing game. You will die many times before you begin to feel like you're beating the game- and even then death is always just around to corner.
  • Not user friendly

    Unfortunately, the UI does not translate well onto the ipad and whilst it is an interesting concept, the overall gameplay is ruined by this UI. Would recommend buying on PC instead until they overhaul it for mobile devices.
  • Love it on PC, mobile not so much

    I found this game on mobile first, and I loved it. But the interface is so tiny and difficult to use that I bought the PC version so I could actually play it.

    Now I only play the PC version because the mobile interface is unusable for me. How big do you think my eyes are, and how tiny do you think my fingers are? You can’t just port a PC game to mobile without any UI changes and call it a day.

    On a PC with a mouse this is a different game. On mobile it’s a frustrating experience of zooming in (with just one level of zoom) to see the miniature icons and attempt to tap and hold on it. And I’m playing on the iPad Air 2, not the mini.

    Devs, you need to modify the UI for mobile so that everything fits on the screen and doesn’t require zooming in. There’s too much screen space wasted on empty inventory or darkened map. The inventory screens should open as larger windows rather than try to cram everything on the main screen, and you need to allow for easier paging/tabbing or scrolling. The item icons and buttons should be like 4x larger, and rather than “tap-and-hold” it should be tap to select an item and bring up a pop-up with description and actions.

  • Nice

    It blows my mind that such a deep game can fit onto my tiny screen. This game is brilliant.
  • Crashes scarier than Dogmen

    First, this game is amazing. Well worth the price - innovative combat, fascinating story lines, great random loot. I love it. A must-buy, if you're into survival and turn-based games.

    That said, until it stabilizes I'm giving it up. Having played probably 40+ hours, I've become more afraid of losing my save file to a crash than I have the enemies or elements in game. Playing on my late-gen retina iPad, I've lost at least 4 save files to crashes, all with hours of playtime on them. I get not wanting people to save scum, but I wish there was a way to backup the file. Watching my carefully protected, organized, scavenged loot vanish in a crash again is just too much.

    Looking forward to updates, or to whatever Blue Bottle does next!

  • Unplayable 🤷🏻‍♂️

    A brilliant game on pc but unplayable on iOS. You need to fix the UI! I will gladly pay the full price when this is fixed until the. Stay clear and go for the unpaid version
  • Great game but a few problems

    It’s great so far yet as the title suggests their are a few problems. First is the UI, it’s hard to select items and choose where you want to put them specifically. Another problem is trying to select a item just to see what it is. More often then not I eat pills when I’m trying to read what pill it is. I understand it’s their first mobile game (to my knowledge) and that their are going to be problems in porting the game but when inventory is such a big factor it sorta ruins the experience. You can play around and get use to it and they even added a zoom in feature but I just find it difficult. Still, keep up the good work!
    Edit: I forgot to add that theirs a glitch that keeps stacking the ‘camp benefits’ over and over and it doesn’t clear. This just makes the messages go off screen and is more of a annoyance then anything. This doesn’t happen much but just saying.
    Edit2: Using the hacking skill I can’t scroll through stacked txt files and such so I need to remove and review them one at a time. Just a annoyance.
    (Got the full game and I can say that it’s worth it.)

  • Great port but interface leaves a little to be desired

    Overall the game is just as solid as it was on the PC. Although I feel the interface is a bit fidgety and wonky. I have to use a stylus for micro management of inventory. But definitely worth the 10 quid.
  • Just like on PC

    A very good port of a fantastic game. Now I can die from hunger, freezing, wild dog attack or gastroenteritis on the go. :)
    This game eats hours for me. Please add mod support if possible. There are some great mods for the PC version.
  • Great game, but occasionally crashes.

    Short Review: My game crashes after 20-30 minutes of gameplay, makes me lose any good loot i obtained or makes me lose a lot of progress. Please fix this.
