Nice and easy Don’t Starve for single player

Perfect if looking for non commitment, no IAPs, no bulls*it, a bit of crafting, a bit of survival easy and relaxing game.

Hello Manekkk, and thanks for the review! Really glad to hear that you like the game!

Great overall

Very fun game, finished in a few days. However the maps provided are extremely primitive and inaccurate, -1 stars for that.

Bugs, experience, and a suggestion

Bugs. When i first got this game i made all that way to the the snow map but then i died from a mob but the thing is that i never respawned. I kept on trying to rejoin but it just wouldnt let me respawn at all so i had to restart all the way to the beginning. So far it hasnt happend so idk if you guys got it fixed or not. Experience. They game is EXTREMELY fun i love it so so so much its one of my favorite games. I love the art style and this is definitely really challenging which makes it fun!! Suggestion. So i obly have one suggestion that i think would be really cool!! Which is… Multiplayer!! It would be so fun playing this game with friends!

Super fun but frozen forever

Super fun game. Love no ads and easy to keep playing. Just wish heart life rejuvenated on its own or food gave more heart health. And I was on a roll and it froze. One of the ghostly guys killed me and it froze. Please fix so I can do an update and not start over. Loving this game!!!! Guess I’ll go adult for a while since I can’t nerd out on my phone.

Update: decided to play under my husbands account and start over… still enjoyed the game. Got killed by a yeti and game froze again. Also after deleting and reloading game on phone, both my acct and my husbands it started us at the very beginning but it’s still frozen just on the beginning screen. Lots all progress and not even a chance to start over. So frustrating. Sadly deleted from my phone for good.

My game is super glitched!!

I’ve been waiting on another update because after the last one my game glitched and bean died but got stuck at one of the safe spots without any of the options to walk or open inventory. I kept deleting and redownloading the game just hoping that something would happen. It did. It spawned back at camp with the heat wave effect permanent, my inventory was spread out, and the same thing was happening where I didn’t have any options to do anything like open settings or anything I can’t interact with anything. I can just hear noises and some of the animals move around. I love this game so bad but I can’t bear to start over I’ve made it to the castle in the highlands and I haven’t been able to play for the last couple of weeks. I’ve already talked to customer support 3 times and they weren’t any help unfortunately.

Amazing game. Fix bugs!

This is my favourite game. It’s so fun, I thoroughly enjoy it. Unfortunately, I have run into a rather massive bug that needs fixing: my character died and will not respawn, no matter what I do. I am permanently stuck on the screen where he died. I cannot continue playing due to this. I have done all the possible troubleshooting to fix this issue and it’s still not working. I’m not the only player who has experienced this. Please fix these bugs. This game is too good to just let it fail.

Bug

Après avoir accomplie plusieurs niveaux le jeu. Au final, c’est comme recommencer à 0…. J’ai, par contre beaucoup aimé lorsqu’il fonctionnait.

Fun game but…

I really truly enjoyed this game for the first several days I played it. However after getting to the fourth location I’ve ended up having lots of glitches and bugs. I’ve started the whole game over once, but got to the level and similar things started happening. I decided to play through it, but it keeps resetting the level I’m on. All the buildings I’ve built and upgraded in my campsite keep disappearing. The boulders I’ve blown up in my paths reappear and bridges I’ve built disappear. My progress box says I’ve collected 3/4 keys, but the key holders I’ve already defeated are back. I’ll make my back to the castle just for the level to be completely reset again. Even when I respawn my health bar is empty from the beginning. It’s truly frustrating because I have not enjoyed a cell phone game as much as this one in a long time. I contacted customer support in hopes for an explanation/help, but after an hour I got no where. I’m hoping they will fix these issues soon so I can get back to enjoying this game.

Great but big glitch

I love this game but I died of thirst when sleeping and know whenever I get on to the game my camp isn’t there and my character is gone

Fun until it randomly resets

This game was awesome- like staying up for hours playing awesome. Until I was pretty far into the lava level, I noticed that I had only a few selections on all of the producers (food, garden, drinks, etc) even though I had upgraded everything and had so many choices before. But the final “this app is getting deleted” thing was all of the obstacles that I had removed (like the boulders) were in place again. It reset for some reason. I considered starting over but figured this would happen again, so why waste the time? So, I would advise against downloading. It’s so sad to see all you’ve accomplished disappear.
