But, wish i could move the buttons around or have old timey music like pc
Developer Response
Thank you for your review. You can completely disable the UI buttons in iOS settings -> Cataclysm RPG. And I'm not sure what you mean under music, but you can add sound packs, tiles and mods the same way you do in PC: by placing the content in appropriate folders inside Cataclysm RPG directory in your iPhone/iPad.please add better quality tilesets i love the U.I and the updated version but for me it is totally immersion breaking when i see a big ? or 7 instead of an item. i would play every day if high quality tilesets were added

Thank you for your review. You can add any tile sets you like by following this procedure:
• Download the set here https://github.com/SomeDeadGuy/UndeadPeopleTileset/archive/master.zip using Safari in your iPhone/iPad
• Unzip it using standard Files app and place result directory into gfx folder in your "Cataclysm RPG" folder
• Restart the game and select the tile set in the game settings. Cataclysm DDA is one of my favorite games all-time, and this is a much welcomed port. While the UI isn’t the easiest to use, I feel that’s more a symptom of the complex controls of the game rather than anything else. With some practice, you can play more than smoothly enough for an enjoyable experience.
I’ve had the other IOS port installed on my phone for a long time, but I very rarely opened it. The game version on that one is incredibly out of date, and the UI is far more difficult to use than this one. No disrespect to the developer of the other port, I’m incredibly grateful they decided to upload it even with all the associated fees and troubles of the IOS App Store, but this one is leagues above the old one.
While I have yet to do so, the fact that you can install mods and tilesets and such is an incredible feature. While CDDA is a fun game on its own, to me it’s draw comes from the plethora of modded content that provides even more replayability than the base game already offers.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen more people talking about this wonderful port. If I weren’t lucky, who knows how long it would have taken me to find this?
For those of you reading this who might be unfamiliar with CDDA itself, I cannot recommend it enough. It has a very steep learning curve, and the graphics are someone distracting to the uninitiated, but it is really an incredible game worth every second you’ll put into it. And believe me, you’ll put quite a few in.
To the developer, thank you for putting your time into developing this port. While I’m pretty sure it’s against TOS for you to post a donation link on the App Store, is there any sort of profile of yours I could find that might just so happen to have a link for donations?? I’d be willing to pay to help support you in keeping this port up to date and functional.
I’m so glad to see this game on the apple play store and it works perfectly fine and it’s easy to use this is on of the best Open world rougelike Zombie games out here right now and it’s on a freaking iPhone now i’m definitely going to keep this app on my iPhone for good man I can’t thank you enough for bringing this game to apple pIay store but I was wondering if your gonna add Dead people Tileset or is it a way to get it?
I’ve been waiting to play dead_people again I was extremely when I saw this So I downloaded this app thinking I was gonna play with this tileset once again but if you know how to get it back please let me know
And thank you 🙏 for this truly amazing game

Thank you for your feedback. Try watching the video I recorded from my phone: https://we.tl/t-Xpbmik1vrm and repeat the steps.
In short, you need to download the archive from the link https://github.com/SomeDeadGuy/UndeadPeopleTileset/archive/master.zip directly to the device, unpack it and move the unpacked folder to the gfx folder in the game folder and restart the game. After that, you can select the UNDEAD_PEOPLE (NEW) tileset.
Have a nice gameYou don’t get the window resize feature on Ipad, toggling it on or off in the app settings does nothing....

Thank you for your review. You're right, looks like it's broken! I'll address it in a couple of days. Thank you for your report!Great job finally porting an updated version to IOS. Allowing mods and tilesets to be installed easily is a huge plus. Developer you need to advertise this more or make it more easily findable. I’m not sure how the App Store works but this is the first I’ve seen it and I search for cataclysm usually monthly in the App Store to see if there’s a new port.

Thank you for your review.
I've made posts initially in some places. And App store ranks apps considering the number of reviews, average rating and count of ratings, and some other things. I've also made a small research to make the app easier to find, but it looks like some time should pass for the app to get higher ratings and grow in rank. Thank you for helping doing it! Maybe you can spread the word and write a tiny review somewhere, even on Reddit, because I believe still there are people who don't know the updated version is there. I've tried to reach previous app author and take care of that app, but with no success. Possibly I'll try again.Just gotta say kudos to you bringing this game updated and easy to use for free. This should be the #1 free game in App Store.
Too much crammed on the screen, awful ui and words overlap. Just not an iPhone game when like this. Needs a true mobile port and new ui.
Glad to see the latest version of this game ported to iOS! However there are still some problems. A problem I encountered was that I couldn’t scroll through vehicle parts when examining a vehicle. There appear to be keybindings, but even after changing them I still couldn’t scroll through the parts list, making it hard to replace vehicle parts. I’m not sure if this is a problem with the game or the port but I don’t recall having this problem on PC.

Thank you for your review.
If it would be possible for you to record a video with comments on what keys you tap/type and what behaviour you expect, that would be of great help. Also I've got a feeling that it's due to small screen size.I’m probably saying this wrong, but this is an awesome port. It did crash once on me, but I haven’t had anything like that happen again. As a previous review stated you can download mods from github and upload them to your files. I personally downloaded a few tile sets.
The only complaint I have (and it is so minor, but to me fundamental) is the ui. I think it’s good for new players considering that this game can be overwhelming at first, but it back fires a bit. Hear me out, all I’m saying is that it overlaps the game screen. What I mean is, sometimes I want to see an option or read an item, but the ui covers bits of the screen and I have to use deductive reasoning to figure out what I’m reading. I know you can turn it off, I kind of prefer it on a cell phone. I guess if I could make one wish for a change it’s the ability to make the ui smaller or maybe make the whole thing shadowy like the directional controls.
That’s it all in all this is a very good up to date port and it’s great to see that this game isn’t dead for Iphone

Thank you for your review.
You can long-touch on a free place of the screen to make the UI completely transparent until you lift up your finger. Same applies when you scroll with scroll bars to the left/right.
I know very good that the features are not highlighted the way they should, there's no tutorial on the port at the moment. And that's the very thing I'm working on now: the tutorial on iOS port features and another one on game learning itself, suitable for new players.
