Great game, but a buggy IOS port.
Tue Jul 27 2021 Pale Centaur

Bugs aside, the gameplay is challenging (in a good way), the art style is unique and looks great, the world itself is interesting and fun to explore, and you can easily sink lots of time into it. However, this IOS port has some bugs that can be frustrating. For instance, the game allows you to customize some aspects of your world (what season you start in, scarcity of supplies, etc) but if you actually attempt to load a world with custom settings, the game will crash immediately, every time. That’s just one example. The audio can crash at times, there are certain actions in the game/ buttons that don’t work whatsoever, etc. If you look up “Don’t starve IOS bugs” you’ll find forum posts on various websites detailing them. Overall they can be annoying, but none of them are game breaking, and I’d still recommend downloading it.

Great game BUT..

This game is literally so fun. Each character has special abilities and cool styles and weird traits overall good and smooth. And it requires no wifi to play!! Anyhow when I first joined the game it was so cool very smooth and everything but as I created my first world it gave me an option to equip reign of giants. Which I didn’t because I wanted to see the classic before I tried reign of giants. Time went on and I got curious so one day I equipped it. Its great and all even better with so much more fun options in the game (as there is already a lot in the classic) and still very smooth but.. theres a problem I cant figure out. Gold. You need it to build a science machine to unlock basically everything. I cant find any. Where there would usually be gold in the boulders/rocks there is no longer gold. I dont really know any other way other than maybe loot graves and ect, but even after trying research on this I cant find anything. Kinda ridiculous to have to research something like that but even if I did find out the anwer, is there a way to unequip reign of giants?? Just curious in case I like the classic better.

YES! Worth anyones time!

So, this is legitimately perfect, I just have a couple ideas for the game: Character: Quint ( I’m sorry it doesn’t have a W) Is a werewolf in secret can befriend hounds starts with three or less hound teeth. In werewolf state can see in the dark maybe? Or maybe comfy with the dark? But here is his story: Growing up, Quint was bullied and made fun of for his thought that ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and other mythical creatures were real. So he went out to live in the woods. As he explored the woods, he heard strange sounds one day. He walked towards it, then saw a radio. It was nighttime, and then he heard growling. He was bitten by a mysterious monster, and then he is pulled through a portal to the constant. As he enters the constant, the clouds disperse, the moon is full, and he becomes a werewolf. He looks at himself, and is afraid. He tries to run from himself, and ends up standing in front of a hound mound. The hounds greet him and try to be with Quint. Eventually, he rests with them. I hope you can add this! If not that’s fine but it took me a while to think of this! Please respond as soon as possible! Thanks Klei!

Good but...

The thing is that other than it being brand new and amazing it has a bug if I light fire as willow eventually the game just crashes on me can you fix it? Edit: question: how to unlock a lot of the others like the spider person as it looks like from the silhouette??? I will be happy if you took the time to explain thank u p.s. about the mode thingy how do you change it??? Thanks for takin the time to read or respond Edit:please add sandbox mode which unlocks each crafting recipe and tab and you can craft it immediately while tapping the item or items needed will give that to you but only one and another will give one more and then three and so on and so fourth while giving another tab called summons which will spawn in the creature in question even wear-pigs and the black bunny men and each character has every craft recipe even character exclusive ones and also a tab called foods which has every food even jerky and crockpot recipes also how did you get creative mode???

Huzzah! But it still has the same pocket edition bugs

I am delighted to see this game getting Arcade attention, since I love it on every platform I own it on (PC, iOS, PS4). Yes, I already own the iOS version of this, but hey, five more save game slots since this counts as a different app! Edit: This is an updated version and NOT identical to the purchasable iOS pocket edition version! Hopefully with this Arcade push and the new NewHome version coming some of the longstanding iOS bugs will finally be fixed...? In particular, I get very frustrated by the on-screen joystick problem where it doesn't block the tap action on the screen behind the joystick control, which makes movement impossible when, eg, holding a torch near trees. (Tip for new players: just don't enable the joystick. It will only lead to tragic nighttime forest death. Use the tap-to-move default instead, and it helps to have a stylus for accurate movement.)

LOVE IT but a few…issues
Thu Aug 12 2021 marryhon

So the reason I rated it four stars was because when I tried to use the Bundling wrap it crashed my game and I have don’t starve together and you can go out on the don’t don’t stave together BUT in regular don’t starve from what I’ve seen you can’t go out on water so that’s the reason that I read it four stars and instead of five but I really do love the game .! By the way there are other this wrong and some lag when I saves the game please fix it.. But I enjoy the game so much.. especially when I’m play don’t starve together with my mom and other people.. I can’t get don’t starve together on my Xbox because of the age restriction.. it’s not a really violent game so lower it on the Xbox.. There are 5 year old out there playing gta5 … and I’m 11 so fix the age restriction on Xbox thank you very much. MWAH UPDATE: this game needs a update ASAP

The best game ever!!

Hi don’t starve is a amazing game! Because you get to play in a open world and look around to find resources. But you might get hungry so you got to eat too. Also you need to avoid all the monsters to not get killed. And don’t go insane because monsters will start to kill you but you can’t start getting resources all day it has a day and night cycle. But this game does have a few bugs if you harvest a berry bush that is fully grown then it starts to glitch out. When you go in a cave sometimes your players will glitch for no reason that one time it happened it killed me for no reason the other than that this game is super fun I play it almost every day!!!

Pretty much best game of all time does a great job moving to mobile
Fri Aug 26 2022 gleeberman

It’s a fabulous game in terms on content, but the ipad UI is very good. It’s extra good on PC, but does surprisingly well as a mobile port. Great path finding, no annoying on screen controller thing, multiple ways of doing the same thing either through directly touching the object of your action or by touching on screen buttons. You can move wherever either by holding or tapping a spot or automatically based on an action. It’s harder to fight, but very doable. Really the only thing that it “lacks” is customizability from the Steam Workshop mods. Also, hopefully they will port Hamlet eventually!

A great game to play but the gold…
Sun Dec 24 2023 MAYAMOOSE@Gig Harbor

This is a really awesome game!It is a great game for families to play together! I still don’t know how to find the gold and I know a lot of people can’t find it either. If you do write a review and tell us! This game is adventurous and it feels like YOU are really trying to survive and not starve. Someone asked how to set the game on different survivals first: you have to delete a game and then it says new game. Second: you push new game and then you choose your character and if you look down it says new world or anything else similar to that. Again adventure mode is on that if anyone needs that.

it’s a good game but..

i personally believe it’s a great game considering its the pocket version of the pc version, but there are some flaws. One of them is there is only a couple of characters unlike the pc version, i hope you can add more characters as since i’ve unlocked them all i don’t know what to do, so please add more characters. The second thing i would like to say about it, is that the game isn’t like the pc version, what i mean by this is that there are some missing mobs, bosses, etc as well as you cannot use mods. Another thing i would like to add is that you cannot play with others which saddens me. Overall its a great pocket version of the real thing though if you made the changes i spoke of, it will make the game more enjoyable.
