A decent but outdated port.

This version of CDDA is good, but it’s years out of date compared to the current PC version. There’s so much more in the Pc version that I really miss in this version. Are there any plans to update this, and the other CDDA apps to their latest PC versions?

Response from developer

There are no plans on uploading this, but the DDA+ BN app will receive update sooner or later.

please deploy version,0.H

最高のローグライクゲーム。
日本だったらelonaが好きな人はマストでプレイ推奨。

開発者様、どうにか最新版のリリースをお願い致します🙇

最新版のリリースが待ち遠しくて夜しか眠れない日々が続いています🙇

Response from developer

レビューありがとうございます。 最初はゲームに音が出ませんが、たとえばhttps://github.com/damalsk/damalsksoundpack/archive/master.zipからサウンドパックを自分でインストールできます。 解凍したディレクトリをダウンロードして解凍し、ゲームの「sound/」ディレクトリに配置するだけです。 また、画面の左右で指を上下にスワイプして上下にスクロールすることもできます。

Good port if you can get past the controls. Needs updated to newest Stable though.

UI issues on iPad

When I use ASCII the UI goes all wonky. Would appreciate an update to address this.

Great game port first of all.

Game is fantastic. Graphics are from the mind, you’ll have a hard time ever finding a game as complex as this again.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Yep, it is.

Great Port

Thank you for the brilliant port, please make an updated one. I’d happily pay £5 for it.

Thank you so much

I really appreciate you putting the game back up

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Frankly, experimental is too experimental and breaks too frequently, and I just don't have neither that much time to make a build every day or so, nor willing to give players a buggy experience. Thus I stick to stable versions, even though they update really infrequently these days.

Great app and got things to improve

tried android version of cd da and thought that it’s good. can we get swipe interface on ios too? and my xbox controller won’t work

AMAZING PORT

Exactly what I was looking for, can’t always set up my computer to play, so it’s nice to pop the app open and get in some play here and there. Having an action menu helps a ton it takes time to remember every keypress. I see the price as fair and I’m more than happy to support it.

Is O.G in the works?

I should start of with a thank you for keeping the port alive on IOS for the past few years despite the little compensation, but I was wondering if the O.G stable release will come out on here as well. I think I read that it was in the works several months ago but it wasn’t finished. Either way it’s been great to have a port on IOS, so thanks.

Thank you for your review. > does the port still get updated? Yes, it is. But since the core development team is focused on new stable version 0.G, there are no updates for the game. You can track the progress on new version here: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/projects/50 Earlier response: Well it's technically possible to make a whole new UI to deal with sound packs, graphics etc before the game loads, as done with the initial save/load from iCloud menu, but it doesn't look worth it, because there are already ways to achieve these goals exactly the same way as they're achieved in the desktop, so you don't have to deal with multiple different interfaces.

Excellent Port!!

This port knocks the other versions out of the water, my only complaint is that I wish the "zoom in" and "zoom out" function actually worked, it's difficult to play when half of your screen is taken up by the UI.

Awesome game

Definitely a great port, though I wish there was a way to resize the buttons (for walking) because I switched phones, and now the walk button is way too close to the corner so I miss click and die a lot from that. I was quite good at the game, but the button sizes actually are a major roadblock (unless I want to be very careful about my movement and take ages to play).

Fantastic game, fantastic port.

While the game is hard to play on mobile, this is a great port. Highly recommend.

Also any plans for a 0.G release now that it’s gone stable?

Awesome port to IOS. Please add 0.G ver.

Great job with controls, this is my favorite way to play the game mobile. Please create a version for 0.G stable release!!!!

とにかく草臥れてくるゲーム

多分楽しいんだろうけども、パソコン並みに複雑にされてもね。パソコンにはないシンプルというか簡単さをアプリゲームに求めてるのに。   楽しさがわかるまでにどんだけ時間費やすことか 。今持って全然わからない操作の仕方ね

Nearly perfect port, is 0.G coming any time soon?

Absolutely love this. It got me into the game and i’ve been playing it so much since my computer doesnt work rn, this is perfect for me. You said that 0.G was coming this April, but it’s now May and i’m super excited for it. Thanks!

クラフト時のレシピが見られない

基本操作は滞りなく出来るのですが、クラフト時のレシピが見られないです。 別の方の回答であった画面横でスワイプをしてみたのですが、説明文ではなく左の制作リストの方が動いてしまいます…何か方法があれば教えていただければ幸いです。 また、アイテムや敵の表示が記号になることがあるのですが、タイルセットによっては対応していないものがあるのでしょうか? もし表示させる方法があればそちらもお願いします。

Awesome game

The port is around about perfect, and the dev is chill. I do have a question though: given the release of a stable version later than the current one, should I continue playing my current character or wait til the update (I haven’t made all that much progress with this character yet)?

Good efforts but still a bit clunky

Its not easy to port such a niche game on to appstore and the UI which wasn’t there for the original game is quite a nice touch. However this is just a try at emulating the game, lots of the game’s content still locked behind a need for a keyboard which isn’t readily accessible. Otherwise it is quite nicely done.

It breaks after a while

When you play the game for a while on PC, you want to get it on mobile, right? That was my thought. This developer ported the game and made it cost money for the same product. Okay then. I paid the money and got what I paid for! The game is mostly untouched and decently optimized for mobile (not as much as the official version though.) and surprisingly even moddable through the files despite Apple’s restrictions. Then things went downhill. One day I opened the app and it had started on some odd menu, and then things went south. J started the game and lo’ and behold, my menu was frozen! I couldn’t access my save files through the game so I had to pick through the files to get my saves backed up. When I re-opened the app, brushing it off as a small bug (not a fresh install), it didn’t display anything at all! I honestly believe that this is just a poorly emulated version (NOT EVEN A PROPER PORT) of a game that already HAS a mobile port to go off of…

Thank you for your review. Frankly, I tried playing 2 CDDA versions on Android and didn't manage how to deal with all the stuff. Maybe I just missed something, but that's another story. If you have any issues, please create an issue here https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 , where screenshots and videos could be attached. I will try to reproduce and fix your issue :)
