Leave a Review Darkest Dungeon
No sound on iPad Pro 9.5”
Game is great but totally silent.
I’ve played it on PC and Xbox and wanted to play on a long work trip, but the music and audio is a huge part of the experience. Gonna have to try to refund it
Edit: sound came back after messing with some settings on the iPad, but I had to restart it a few times for it to workShow lessAtari_Mex
iCloud crashes app
The game is fantastic. I had early issues with iCloud saves but those seem to have been resolved.
Love the art style. The incredibly tense feeling of the more dangerous battles as all your heroes are at risk of permanent death. The quirk and stress systems are unique and give a gritty new feel to ‘the adventuring life’.
Love it!Show lessGr4yman
Great, but still Crashes sometimes
Crashes on iPad 2017, usually when doing something with the glossary, or other menu items (even looking at DLC, worryingly for the devs).
Also, there’s a steep learning curve here, and little instruction, but worth the effort in the end.Goonerman158
Amazing Game, Crippling Bug
My save at week 99 crashes the game. I am not sure if "week 100" just blows the game's mind or what, but that means I have sunk a LOT of time into a game I can either not play anymore, or start over knowing week 99 all may be lost again. Not interested in either of those options.
The game is so great, I really wish they would fix this problem so I can play it again. I was totally about to buy the DLC addons too- good thing I didn't!
P.S. While I absolutely do love the game, I have to agree with another reviewer about the pointlessness of buffs when damage and debuffs are so much more valuable to ending combat encounters quickly. Wasting a turn on a buff spell is similar to just skipping your turn without the stress penalty. A little more reason to care about buff-like abilities would be beneficial for gameplay I think.Show lessJim Socks
Terrible port, great game.
The game itself is great. I have played it for over 300 hours on steam and love it. I also own the PS4 version of it and didn’t think a tablet port could be worse than the PS4 port but I was wrong for one reason. Unless you are playing this on an iPad Pro (10 inch or bigger tablet) you will have trouble tapping things because for some stupid reason the game isn’t being ran in full screen.
I am playing it on an iPad Air 2 with a 9.7 inch screen and stuff is just too small to accurately tap. Please change this...it’s ridiculous.
I WOULD NOT BUY THIS ON ANYTHING SMALLER THAN A 10 INCH TABLET.Show lessTormentus
Made for iPad
I didn’t like this too much on pc, I just found it to grow stale quite quickly. On iPad though, you can pick this up at any time and have a very satisfying 10 minute session, which feels surprisingly deep. It makes so much sense on this platform, especially considering it’s a lot cheaper and portable.
I will be buying the DLC once I have completed the main campaign.Show lessPBUH91
UI is way too small
Just finished up the tutorial and I already have a headache. I’m playing on a 9.7 iPad Pro and the text and in-game buttons/icons are too small. The game is already presented in a letterbox format, cutting off the top and bottom portions of the screen, and then the text is so small that it completely hinders the experience. This port feels like someone just moved the game to iOS, scaled everything down to size, and made the buttons accept taps instead of click without even testing for playability and comfortShow lessKuroEFX
Frustrating & boring gameplay
I really want to like this game for its ambiance and quality graphics presentation, but ultimately I’m finding the technical issues and game play frustrating.
UI is buggy and hard to control, and text is too small. Display is not optimized to iPad; it’s letterboxed top and bottom.
The combat choices are uninteresting. Every battle feels like a damage race with enemies. I’m not seeing the point of many buffs when four enemies are chewing down your health with cheap shots, and most healing options are inadequate. Battles feel slow with lots of animations, and not many ways to speed thing up. I don’t feel like there are many clever synergies between classes to exploit.
Dungeon exploration is linear without compelling gameplay. Do I open the box or not? Oh, I miss clicked on the trap and triggered it. Didn’t bring a shovel? Your crew gets scared and takes damage tearing down obstacles. Tap torches or not, depending on how spooky you want it.
City management is also boring. you spend money to heal characters of stress and annoying conditions, you spend alt currencies to upgrade buildings, the progress is slow and fairly linear. It reminds me of bad free to play city management games.
Ultimately, I want it to move faster with more interesting choices throughout. I’m ok with difficult, strategic games, but this feels like you’re strapped in to a defined progression path that is made artificially long with slow grinding gameplay.Show lessHypnotoast
Love it, but please fix tooltip locations
Absolutely love this game. My one complaint is the tool tips sometimes appear below your touch location instead of above. This makes it really awkward since you have to touch and hold for the tooltip to stay, but your finger is in the way and you can't read it. Even some of the tooltips that appear to the right are awkward to read. Devs: Can you please make all tooltips appear above your finger? It would make everything so much better. I'll gladly bump my review up to 5 stars. Thank you for this awesome game!Show lessjeffy777
Good
Watch your characters die constantly TIL you learn how to play! Keep your torch up full if you want to win battles! Even if you succeed a dungeon they’ll be screwed up and you have to put them away until they’re cured so you have to start with raw recruits again! Ok but frustrating! Oh and nearly every treasure you find is some sort of trap and a character who is near death refuses to be healed and dies! One of those games that punishes you for playing it! I’m just glad I got it on sale! You need some positive aspects to keep playing! There are none here!Show lessMkktBkkt
