Ratings and reviews

Addictive game, love the challenges. But what I love more is getting to pick your challenges and specifications for your world. However, pocket edition doesn't seem to keep to the preset options you choose wren you start. I opted out of hellhounds, but they still appear and kill me instantly.

It is a classic survival experience with a lot of unique stuff and a wonderful art style. However, the control can be awkward, especially in combat, and recently, the game has been extremely glitchy when it comes to navigating menus and general gameplay. The menu selects things or moves with no input, and in a game, it is near impossible to drop items from your inventory right now.

Since my original review, they've added so much more to this game that had made it a lot better. It now has full compatibility (other than the visual prompts) with the Dualshock 4 that I use periodically with my phone. They've updated the graphics (HD!), and even fixed the problem with the main menu clipping out of the screen. The game runs just fine in a lot of circumstances, and I've never seen any frame drops or glitches. I can now safely say this game is perfect for mobile. Good job, Klei!
