Seems to be fun, but it is frustrating
The game in itself show the potential of being a fun survival game, but the controls, at least on iOS without a controller, are frustrating to the point that I am going to wait for a few updates.
First, the combat experience. I have no idea if I have to face the enemy, and if I do, that is going to be incredibly difficult. I just read a couple of reviews where they talk about “hit boxes”. Maybe I have to touch the enemy on the screen? If so, the basic combat tutorial is lacking of useful information.
Second, the monkeys. I want to see which monkey has a certain tool, so I select one, and it’s the wrong one, so I need to exit from the monkey selection interface, the monkeys go their way, I need to remember which monkey I selected early, and try to select another one. That is because there is no way to deselect the monkey. Is that really supposed to be like this? Sounds like a bug.
Also the training. Good luck training a monkey to combat while you are being hammered by something.
Other minor points are related to crafting. I am trying hard to teach a monkey how to craft, but believe me, it is not an easy task.
Overall I would like the game to be polished, but at this point is more frustrating than fun.

Great game
Love this game but there are some glitches. Like one time I went to open my chest and then it just disappeared. I had to exit without saving to get it back so I lost some of the stuff I had done and had to do it all over again. Also the monkeys could use some work. I don’t like how you have to retrain your monkeys to fight every time you go into the game. All the other monkeys keep their jobs except the fighters. It’s really annoying. Also for some reason I just have a piece of wood on the ground in my base that I can’t pick up and when one of my monkeys picks it up he doesn’t do anything with it and I can’t take it from him unless I trade something with him. I also wish the labyrinths and vaults gave you more of a variety of stuff, it seems like they only give you flimsy or sturdy tools and rope, planks, mud, and bones unless you get to the end so it’s kinda useless to loot more than once. I do like everything else tho. Wish you could cross play with mobile and console and also I wish you could split screen on console. Hope you update soon. Looooove this game!!!! Also love manual save, once you get used to it. Please don’t take it away, manual save rocks!!!!!!!!!

Crashes!
Lovely game, enjoy most of the gameplay besides it crashing rather frequently. Perhaps an Auto Save feature would help players so they aren’t constantly losing their progress as a result.
Please fix!!
Please fix!!
Fix the bugs
First of all, I really like the game, but there are a few painful bugs and some UI issues. First and foremost, the game crashes pretty constantly. I’m playing on the iPhone 8 with plenty of storage, nothing running in the background, etc. I don’t have a problem with lack of autosave, especially when you can save anywhere in pause menu but when it crashes things can go really bad. Not only do you lose your progress, but monkeys become untrained and chests can disappear. Like literally gone. I bought a special chest from the trader and had a monkey carrying it with some really valuable stuff in it, game crashed, rebooted game and it’s just gone. Pretty frustrating tbh. The UI issues are; selecting/controlling monkeys can be frustrating, fighting can be weird if you spam the attack button and torch placement. Only other problem is lack of doors and gates unless I just haven’t unlocked them yet (which would be weird because I have almost unlocked all crafts and blueprints) 5 stars if/when these are corrected.

The monkeys need work and auto save
Once you teach a monkey you should be able to put them in say combat mode or collect mode...etc. It is not even fun to try to teach them stuff all the time. Also being able to hold only 1 item is not good. Let them hold a weapon and have a small backpack that you craft for them. Let them hold like 3-4 items and a weapon. Also trying to manage weapons on them is just rediculous. They break mid battle and then your done.... you have to run and hopefully can save your monkeys. Not sure how this has 4 stars. graphics are nice but gameplay needs work. Attacing is not fun. Its hard to just hit things with bow, spear....club seems to be the best. I will check back in a couple months but not fun to play currently.
Autosave and maybe check points.....required! and faster saves

amazing game
Over all the game is really fun just the fact that you can have monkeys that do everything you do is amazing even tho you have to pay 5 bucks A month it’s ok I love these game and I hope there well be new tools in the future along with more islands to explore bc I did like all the islands and if there r new islands added it well change everything and the raids need to be a little bet easier bc I had got killed and had to go back to my other save but I was prepared that time and didt die so if the raids r Easier that would have over all great game didt think it would be this good 10/10

Hi! This game is amazing, but I just want this.
So, hello! I have been a fan of team 17! But I just want you to add local multiplayer, because of my age restrictions, I’m not able to play with my friends. So, when you get the chance, please add local multiplayer. But make sure that it doesn’t have age restrictions please! Also, there is a glitch when if I go to the mysterious shop, I can’t see the materials I need to craft stuff, and then I also can’t see what my emotes say, and Last but not least, I can’t see what the cost is for items in the mysterious shop. So yeah, I hope you can fix and add these things! THX and bye!

Won’t work on AppleTV
Please sort these bugs out! Really want to link all our Apple devices as a family to play this game as it’s a great game when it works which is a rare event....but it either completely won’t load or it gets to the loading screen and never progress further to the game. It’s very frustrating!!!! I have tried all the troubleshooting. Still won’t work!! Such a shame as this is a brilliant game.

Crash bugs...
Hi team17! I have been waiting for this game for a while and I am really enjoying it! Everything is good! Except two things. firstly, this game is riddled with crash bugs. So, I can be exploring a cave, finally getting my hands on some metal ingots and then the game crashes. These crashes are becoming more and more common (I.E, now it is crashing when I load up the game) so could you fix this please? Secondly, the saving system. It is very awkward to use and I was wondering if an auto saving system could be put in place. So, this game is good, I just want those things fixed.

The bugs when you die need to be fixed!!!!!
First off I absolutely love this game. Amazing concept and just a all around great game.
That said there are two huge issues with this game. The first is like everyone else is saying. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN AUTO-SAVE!!!!!!! I can see where the devs were going with immersion in this survival space . The force manual saves will make things feel more ‘hardcore’. But it comes off as just plain annoying and tedious. Like please devs, please, just listen to your fan base. It’s a quality of life feature that just makes sense.
The second and honestly bigger issue with this game is the clearly game breaking bug of when you die there is a 75% chance your character can keep walking oddly, then faints, respawn in the bed at camp, but is still locked in the “fainting” animation. the player is unable to move or save in this state. Which then makes it a game breaking bug. Because the only way to ‘fix’ it is to relaunch the app. Which as you know from my early comment, means you have just now lost all of your progress from your last save. Which results in some annoying unneeded rage quits.
Please keep up the hard work on this title, and please fix the bug.
