That kinda kills incentive to want to play cause I end up wasting time which if you happen to not have food with you, your cooked in this game and you’ll have to start from the very beginning. It gets to a point when your starting all over again and again and again it just makes you not want to play this game cause it just gets redundant and old tbh. Taking away that map really hindered that want to continue playing……… ### 4/5 — its an okay game, grindy for sure *2026-01-11* saw someone say this game requires skill, i HIGHLY disagree, in fact, this game requires no skill, just a lot of patience and effort. everything is RNG which is kinda stupid. why? because when your player goes hungry every30 steps and you kill 3 Mountain lions, Cervals, whatever and they drop NOTHING. there is something wrong. the amount of monsters or animals ive killed and drop nothing is insane. even a main drop should be guaranteed atleast. wether its hide , or meat. but nope, this “skill” game has ya just try again . other than that its an okay game. cool thats its on both pc and phone but not cool that its horribly balanced even in the most common sense way. each game is literally just rng, no skill required, hold out long enough and youll get the perfect brain dead run ### 5/5 — If you think this game is pay to win then you have a skill issue or not playing right. *2025-07-22* This game needs you to plan and be careful, not rush into caves and enemies. If you’re struggling in easy mode after playing for 3 months then you have a skill issue. And before you type “oh but what about totems,” they are helpful, sure, but not needed in easy mode and not needed in normal mode if you have skill. They are only really needed if you want to play difficult mode since enemies are stronger and harder. This game is very fun and enjoyable but if you want to get gems and revives then log in every day and get them. You can also make a new game, then die by standing on a campfire, and get a free chest which you can open. Repeat every day throughout your day and you’ll get stacked. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-05-14* Goodshjt ### 4/5 — Bom *2025-03-13* Muito bom o jogo mas seria bem melhor se pudesse jogar on-line ### 5/5 — 너무 재밌어요! *2025-02-10* 지금까지 한 모바일게임중 최고에요 근데 멀티가능하게 업데이트 해주시면안될까요..? ㅠㅠ 그럼 더 재미잇을것같은데.. 2인모드라도… ### 5/5 — 非常好的游戏但·……. *2025-01-09, version 1.4.7* 开局太难了 ### 4/5 — Honestly pretty good *2024-11-08* I honestly thought this game was dead but new updates is cool also game is overall pretty good some parts are a little grindy if you don’t understand ONE WORD hemp and also without proper totems you can only really win with warrior class ### 5/5 — Um excelente jogo *2024-09-03* Pra quem gosta de um desafio esse é o jogo perfeito, é melhorou muito desde a primeira versão que joguei, e anseio muito pelas próximas versões que viram ### 5/5 — iOS12.2闪退 *2024-07-09, version 1.4.5* iOS12.2闪退 ### 5/5 — 기록삭제..?? *2024-05-07* 오랜만에 다시 하려고 들어왔는데 기록과 토템 그리고 캐릭터가 전부 삭제되어있습니다 ㅠㅠ 너무 즐겁게 했던 기억이 있는만큼 다시 하긴하겠지만 토템들도 다 사라진건 좀 많이 아쉬운걸요..?! 복구 방법이 혹시 있나요?! ### 5/5 — Lỗi *2024-04-11, version 1.4.4* Có lỗi không thể kết nối với máy chủ vào thì bị đứng rồi bay ra ### 5/5 — 이 게임은 아직도 폰에 남아있다 *2024-04-04* 일일 퀘스트, 과금, 파티플레이 같은 요소를 싫어하는 사람입니다. 그래도 게임을 좋아해서 RPG, 시뮬레이션,추리,퍼즐 게임등등 많은 개임을 하다거 지우고 하지만 이 게임만은 몇년째 제 폰에 남아있습니다. 다른 게임을 할때는 야생소년을 들어오지 않았다가 결국에는 복귀하고 복귀하게됩니다. 랜덤으로 나오는 아이탬들이 게임을 즐기는 요소중 하나죠! 꾸준히 개발도 해주시니까 정말 좋아요. 몇년후에도 저는 야생소년을 하고있겠죠 ### 4/5 — Viciante *2024-04-03* Estou jogando The Wild Darkness a mais de um ano e estou gostando muito, existe coisas sim pode ser melhorado, questão de poções por exemplo as poções de atributos como sorte, força e aumento de atributo aleatório não tem uma explicação pra ser criado essa poção. Outro ponto a questão de hp dos monstros e xp que eles te dá não tem como saber pois não mostra. A dinâmica do jogo de ter que cortar lenha e grama pra fazer troca com os vendedores é bem legal, pois é fica melhor pra conseguir itens pra sobreviver mais tempo no jogo. Outra crítica a questão dos baús que compra com diamantes dropa muitos itens ruins ou comum pode assim dizer. Deveria ter uma graduação de caixas de vestígios de acordo com os pontos de aventura que é um mérito por desbravar o jogo quanto maior a quantidade de pontos de aventura vir uma caixa melhor. Não sei vão ler minha avaliação, mas espero ter ajudado. ### 5/5 — Lindo, mas *2024-03-10* O jogo é perfeito, bom pra quem começa e otimo pra quem continua. Entretanto, ele só seria mais perfeito se tivesse multiplayer ### 5/5 — Really fun *2024-02-18* The game is really fun but definitely a challenge and it doesn't need wifi ### 4/5 — or auto craft *2023-12-27, version 1.4.2* Please allow to choose quantity for mass crafting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poções de atributos *2025-04-15* Infelizmente o jogo é muito falho na questão de upar atributos dos personagens como INT, ATK, STR precisamos ter uma poção que possa ser criada na panela de alquimia, pois até consegui pegar umas poções de alquimia mas é muito complicado e poderia ter como criar ela adicionem isso por favor ### 1/5 — Too hard to find rock *2024-04-18* I’ve been soft locked about 10 times now because it’s impossible to find enough rock in the beginning to craft everything for the mission, and if you don’t find enough rock you’re trapped TLDR; game doesn’t even provide the materials needed to progress 0/10 ### 1/5 — Trol game *2023-03-29, version 1.3.4* Trols and various enemy appear and the game does it purpose, I prefer to buy a game that has the saved option than this types of games because the are pure frustrating and it’s became a game of whalers 🐋 to be able to revive. Uninstalled 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Game is lame *2020-10-21, version 1.1.1* Too difficult and random...how can I craft a cursed pix axe twice in a row... ### 1/5 — Good free game *2020-08-01* This is a really good adventure game and it’s completely free. ### 2/5 — 还行吧 *2024-05-13, version 1.4.4* 遗迹打不开，签到也签不了！点击就卡死！游戏还行 ### 2/5 — Идет подкдючение… *2023-04-15, version 1.3.5* Сама игра отличная но чтобы открыть новый класс нужно связаться с серверами, у меня они не подключаються сделайте что нибудь!!! А пока 2 звезды! ### 2/5 — Had potential *2021-03-05* Could have been a good game. But starting over after you die, even if you have saved is ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Frustrating - expect to die a lot *2021-02-13* If you’re hoping to be able to play this game to the end without paying for anything - I doubt you’ll make it. When you die you have to use star gems or Anks to revive and continue playing or you have to start from the beginning again (you can earn these items without paying, but it’s incredibly slow going). The games only advise to you when you die is to try using better equipment, which is incredibly unhelpful when you can’t make better equipment because you can’t get far enough to unlock it. So yeah, frustrating. ### 2/5 — Ok but just play darkness survival. *2020-10-26, version 1.1.1* Darkness survival is way better and not a cash grab. At least I can get about an ankh a day free with them, you guys made a good game but turned it to a cash grab. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Avaliação *2026-07-23* Um joguinho muito irritante e bom, ele é feito pra te matar. Acho que não é um jogo pra qual quer um tem que ter brio se quiser se tornar mais forte no jogo ### 5/5 — 增加一下中国🇨🇳大陆的服务器 *2026-06-09, version 1.5.3* 更新后不开VPN连不上服务器 ### 5/5 — I really like this game *2026-06-05* It's like don't starve but less actional. I think it’s pretty balanced. ### 5/5 — Hidden gem *2026-03-28, version 1.5.3* It is a hidden gem ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-03-01* Play games for many years ### 5/5 — 레전드 게임 건의 이거 하면 갓겜됨 *2025-10-28* 저 야생소년 200시간 플레이한 유저로서 건의드립니다 제발제발 멀티플레이 만들어주세요 제발 부탁드립니다 친구들이랑 같이 너무 하고싶어요 같이 장비도 만들고 사냥도 하고 막 혼자 나가서 죽고 친구가 부활시키러가고 너무 그런 그림이 보고싶습니다 부탁드립니다 ### 5/5 — This game’s biggest flaw. *2025-10-14* This biggest flaw this game has is that it’s too good. Ive deleted it countless time because every-time start Im glued to my screen. It’s the first and last thing i do everyday. It’s impossible to play it casually. Its probably One of the best mobile rpg -y game I’ve ever-played. ### 5/5 — Best rpg game *2025-09-21, version 1.5.0* I love this game, the combat is amazing, the loot system is magnificent, 10/10 ### 5/5 — Bloodmage please *2025-09-13* I love this game, always have fun when I get on and play I would love too see new character in this game ### 5/5 — 제 인생 게임입니다. *2025-08-14* 제가 힘들었던 시기에 유일한 힐링이었습니다. 이번 엔딩 깰 때 까지만 버티자는 마음가짐으로 버텼습니다. 나중에 나이가 들고 세월이 지나가도 이 게임은 제 추억속에서 잊히지 않을거에요. 정말 감사합니다! 개발자님 건강하시고 번창하세요! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
