  • Lazy port

    This is a great game that’s been slightly ruined by the interface that’s come across from the PC version.

    They really need to redo the interface for the iPad\iPad Pro as currently it doesn’t make full use of the screen and a lot of the elements are too small to read\tap comfortably.

    If they put out an update to address this issue there would be very little to criticise about the game. Fingers crossed.

  • Lots of fun, lots of crashes

    This game drew me in and I've been playing it for hours now. However, I hope the devs are collecting crash reports, because it crashes a lot. The most consistent is when you try to add an equipable item directly from loot to a character. Luckily, due to the constant auto saves, nothing is lost - it's just a little frustrating.

  • Great and very hard!

    This game really doesn’t hold hands. You are expected to make mistakes early on, and you quickly learn not to be too attached to these characters. Not all quests are meant to be completed. You will have to abandon the quest early to save your broken heroes, or risk losing them as you proceed onward in hope that luck is on your side. Your team composition is crucial as synergies between some classes can vary from easy expedition to your worst nightmare. Yes, RNG can sometimes screw with you as many games with RNG would. But it is your own ability that can reduce the odds of it happening, or preventing it from happening. This isn’t some 10 hour long iOS RPG, normal difficulty should take roughly 50-70 hours for completion. If you love a challenge, take a shot at it, as it sure will give you some like you have never had before.

  • Unstable since the last update

    Great game, but the last patch which enabled the DLC has made the game much more prone to random lockups and crashes.
  • Bug for dlc...

    Firstly, this is a fantastic game. The low review is based on one thing only

    If I wasn’t so familiar with the PC version, this would be annoying as hell to play. It’s all too tiny. The ported resolution seems lazy and there’s no way to increase it... not really optimised for iPad. So yes, fantastic game, get it! But maybe get it on PC. That said, if tiny fonts and hard to see icons don’t bother you, this one of the best games ever made.

  • Rewarding and challenging

    I love this game. So much depth learning how the characters work best and how to team them up against a large variety of enemies all with their own attributes. Planning ahead and keeping your characters sane and alive takes considered management. I play this mostly on Nintendo Switch but for 99p how could I refuse on my iPad mini as well. Put your reading glasses on and you will be fine with the compact interface. It’s the same on the Switch and is perfectly legible once you know what everything does.

  • Solid game, but worrisome performance.

    After playing Darkest Dungeon’s first few dungeons, I’ve noticed two things:

    1. This game is quite good. The stress systems add unique risks, preparing for your adventures into the dungeons is interesting, the art style is captivating, and the combat is deep and satisfying to experiment with.

    2. This port worries me as much as dungeons worry these adventurers. Playing for just a few minutes quickly makes my Air 2 hot to the touch, something I’ve rarely experienced during its use. I’m not sure what’s causing it, but I would like to avoid any serious damage.

    If some solution can be found, I’d surely have fun with Darkest Dungeon, but as it stands now, this is one source of stress I don’t need.

  • One of the best games on iPad

    This game is awesome, but extremely harsh. Great for masochists and people who enjoy turn-based goodness.
  • UI issues spoil a challenging and deep game

    For a game that punishes mistakes so thoroughly, having accidental and unrevokable item/skill purchases via UI mis-taps is completely unacceptable. Developers - you know exactly what I'm talking about and you need to fix it.

    Other than that, this is a great game. A shame about the UI really.
  • RnG at it’s best!

    Love this game, have it on PC with all the DLC. You like to challenge yourself play this game. The only negative thing I can say about this version of the game UI “user interface” is small it’s like watching widescreen on your tablet, I have 2017 iPad 10 inch. Hopefully the developers will fix this to make it Tablet friendly. Otherwise than that great graphics, great sound just like the PC version.
