Great game

Since latest updates, I have had no issues and am enjoying the game.(iPad 2)

Won't Rotate

Update: Developer released a fix for the screen rotation, as well as many other fixes! Updating my review to 5 stars now...

Great title so far, but as the previous reviewer stated, the game plays on a fixed screen (will not auto rotate depending on how the iPad is being held) that is likely upside down for most folks that have their iPad in a case that props the screen up. My case props the iPad up in landscape orientation, with the home button on the right - the game is displayed upside down this way.

The game itself is great however the screen doesn't orient itself meaning I either have to play upside down or take my case off, which is a huge annoyance, you should seriously consider buying this game until this is fixed.

From Four Stars to Five ... Now Perfect!

[EDIT:] They've fixed the auto rotation issue so I'm adding a star!

I've been playing DD on my PC for quite a while and I've been waiting eagerly for the iOS release. The game is unforgiving, but fair and INCREDIBLY fun and addictive. The iOS version is everything I hoped it would be. Now I can pick up where I left off on my iPad. Excellent!

Very highly recommended.

Crashed

I was just getting into the gameplay before the game froze on me. I tried restarting the app but it made no difference. Now I'm stuck in Kingdom views with no way of continuing. My only option is to start again which I don't want to do. Disappointing!

Too many issues

I agree with most of the issues mentioned. One of them I didn't even realize was an issue. There's a sub-dungeon with a monster. The monster has a lot of treasure and a necklace behind it. After you talk to the monster nothing happens. Then if you talk to it again, the button just get fire behind the button and still nothing. Besides that dumb issue, the graphics are so small that a lot of informational stuff is hard to make sense of. DO NOT PURCHASE. $9.99 is way too high for this game. I've tried to get a refund from Apple and haven't heard a thing from them.

Crash

The artifacts from the desktop version don't hurt the gameplay and I can deal with not being able to rotate my screen. What I can't deal with is that it seems to crash more than half the time when I successfully complete a dungeon. Crushes game progression and makes for some very frustrating gameplay. Fix it.

Still Broken/Becomes Unplayable

Game is still unplayable as you cannot open a codex when talking to a monster without the game freezing up. I tried it on two different ipads.
Also, there screen will not rotate and their are many references to the PC version. It seems clear that this is a hastily done port. It's a shame because it seems like the underlying game is very good.

Fix the Rotation!

Amazing game, but instead of auto-rotating to fit any given landscape mode, you have to have your iPad rotated a certain way, or you'll be stuck playing upside-down. Not a showstopper, but pretty clumsy.

Crashes

Crashes and no screen rotation. Finish 1st game, press to continue on, game crashed. Not worth the money. The free PC game much more enjoyable. Need a refund.
