This game makes me want to do summersaults off Mt.everest don't recommend it.
Amazing, i love this game, but im giving 1 star for visibility and will change when its fixed( 1 star because they need to fix some very annoying things) 1: when you drag things out of your inventory, if it is on the first like 6 slots, it will move the character instead of dragging things out 2: The old bell giant foot should break tree stubs 3: more setting on the giants in the world screen still doesnt guarentee their spawn for some reason
not my type of game
This game OFFICIALLY has issues with touch input. On Android 11+, or on devices with a large screen or unusual aspect ratio, the game becomes unplayable. My device falls into that category: the first launch works fine, but after saving and reloading, the game completely breaks and no longer recognizes touch input correctly.
keeps crashing on unfolded pixel fold screen
please make hud moveable in setting. it is placed too close to the corner of the display and too small. when you have small bezeled phone, its disaster
the bug never get fix why the screen spinning and never stop, i can even play the game....
cant play on samsung s8, lack of controls. no way to inspect, open pack. jus run and grab, no good
Don't buy this! It's clear the developers haven't played this game themselves. Otherwise, I can't explain the state of the game. The controls are terrible. You can zoom in on the UI and then can't move it properly-this happens about 1 out of 10 times, and usually the intended action doesn't happen. The side controls are awkwardly placed and are obscured by the selfie camera. There are numerous bugs and graphical glitches, like broken icons, laggy zooming, etc.
Literally won't let me play. Every time I start up a game it just crashes, a shame because the full game on Steam is enjoyable. - Samsung A34 user
its bugged so bad, like everything i try to play im forced to keep punching
Insanely glitchy. I'll try to build structures, the game takes my resources and doesnt build the structure. I try to cook items, the items disappear. the HUD is horrible and things like the camera on Samsung phones is directly in the craft bar. crafting is so small even if you put the hud at max and is very hard to do. please make your mobile version of this game actually playable. until then guys dont buy this.
bought it, played for about 15 minutes didn't enjoy it so requested a refund. it says refund isn't supported. and that's the last time I'll buy anything from the play store
i need my refund
Torch does not light trees, is holding me back in game. no option, tried everything
I cant play dont starve because the game has an issue when i open it it says this app isnt responding.Please fix it
fun game, but on console. everything is too cramped on cellphone. buttons are too small. actions are hard to make. just frustrating.
played the game just wish there was online
brilliantly similar to the steam game, but it is horribly outdated. if it even followed a year behind the steam games updates, it would be good enough. But things are that old
please make it multiplayers
its good so far but every time I log in again the settings change and the screen shake is enabled even though I change it to disabled. Please change it,i cannot have to install the game everytime just to play it.
