The game doesn't work most of the time. Unresponsive double-tap, awful lag or application simply crashing. Absolutely dreadful! And don't blame the hardware, I have a state-of-the-art mobile phone and every other game is running smoothly. It's just ARK that's working badly. ^^
Downloaded it but only got as far as customizing my character. It was already glitchy while on main menu, I put resolution and graphics down to their lowest levels, still jumped around a bit. Once I entered the actual game I wasn't able to do absolutely anything! Screen went blank and I could hear the dinos and surroundings, but couldn't see anything, just random images of trees, water and sand, some dino outlines... Tried restarting phone, un and re installing app, still nothing! On LG Stylo 6
A great game, after weeks of game play and building the game has crashed. I have deleted and re downloaded, looked for updates, etc. to no avail. The game crashes as soon as you open it. What was once a great game is now unplayable. I lost alot of time and in-game resources. Hope it gets fixed soon. Edit:: It's now May and still having the same issues. I did get the game to work for a few days. But it died again. Still no support either.
Have been playing this casually in single mode for a few months. The controls take a little getting used to but on the whole I have enjoyed the mobile version very much. Experience half a second lag or so when utilising DEX which makes it kinda unplayable but there could be a number of reasons for this including my TV is not a Samsung. However on the whole it runs smoothly on my Note 10 and I haven't had to spend a penny to progress smoothly through the game. Always plenty to keep you occupied.
I was shocked by how good it was after taking the reviews into account but for me it runs smoothly, the graphics are good for mobile of course and there's still a lot of Dino's and equipment for being a free app. the only issue I've faced is that the SFX doesn't sync up sometimes when I'm hitting something or being attacked. Hope it gets updated for more content
Good game. But there are several improvments need 2 happen. 1. The map is useless. It's 2 small to read even on a tablet 2 read. 2 again the map. Needs to have a waypoint system so players can mark things. 3. The dino vs you system is out of reach. As soon as you start 2 build. You die. 4 the controls are wonky. 5 the visuals are rendered too close it's like having tunnel vision. I really enjoy the concept and would absolutely love it and give it five stars if at least 3 of these things worked.
I used to play this game some time ago and I loved it. But for some reason, after reinstalling it, when I open it, it crashes instantly. Can't even pass the first loading screen. The phone i have is Poco X3 pro. I can run other heavy games with no problems at all. This is the only game which crashes. Pls help me fix this as I really want to play it again.
Way better than I expected from a mobile game. No ads or annoying bs. The grind is severe but as downsides go it's better than ads. Regions could use a little more bleed over near the borders to enhance the verity of fauna and sense of danger. 2 things that would be nice. 1, being able to select your dinos for edit from a list like the recall list, and 2, a guard mode, or sans that, if "Stopped" dinos would return to where they were prior to being aggroed by something. Stay out of the water. YBW
Really fun experience. So many things to do as you improve your avatar, your living conditions & seek to utilise the variety of dinos that roam nearby. Every blasted setback is just another lesson as you grow. UNFORTUNATELY have to drop my rating. No dramas as long I stay in the app but as soon as I open dodoex or another app, it then has to restart. Although it has excellent auto-saving it has become frustrating. This has been ongoing for the last month, happy to restore 5☆ if this is fixed.
I really give the game a 3.5 stars. It's fun and pretty addicting. But some annoying things are on mobile. My dinosaurs always follow me and I can't turn it off. I sometimes just want them to sit still where they are. Also when I press whistle they sometimes are slow to come. I also wish they could navigate around buildings to get to me, for example when im in my base and they're on the outside.
I love ark, taming companions instead of spending days weeks or months to buy one is really easy, building a base makes it easy to survive and exploring can do wonders if you find an explorer note and the game isn't so easy that you can get really good tames and gear within hours of spawning. In other words, the game has plenty of challenge to keep you busy but it's not so hard that you can't really do anything. The only problem is experience is halved on mobile and you can't make a custom arks.
I love the game I started playing a month after launch and fell in love. I stopped playing for awhile then wanted to play again. I downloaded it then when I launched it it crashed it kept doing it after I re downloaded and I have not found a fix. It is really annoying and I don't know if this is a problem everyone is having but I hope it gets fixed.
I'm giving it five stars because it follows the computer version and the graphics are not bad it's definitely worth a try. It does have a minor crashing problem not bad given that you have a good device. And yes you do need a good device to play it smoothly. It runs on a low end divice smooth if you put your graphics to low ..... And if your wondering you can connect you Xbox controller.... Over all its a very good game. Definitely worth five stars
It's a nice mobile adaptation to the popular game but there are some things I would change. I wish they would add the dlc's to the game when you get to lvl 100 you can go to the next version or buy it to go instantly to said dlc. Also make a way to make private servers with just you and your friends. I tried to play this game with many of my friends and we had to get past all of the massive walls people had put up. There are some more but otherwise it's a good overall game
I'm just starting out, so I'm playing the solo version for now. Being relatively new to the game, I'm also well studied in it, and well aware of players with attitudes in multiplayer. Not confident enough to handle them. So I'm soloing for now. The biggest complaint I have is the controls. If you could please, add a gamepad control option for movement, that would be awesome. Perhaps an option to set a menu in the upper left corner for tame whistles and all, that would also be great. Thanks!
I really enjoy this game, especially playing on my Galaxy Z Fold 3, but every time I try to re-open the app, it fails initialization. I see the "Ark" graphic in the bottom left corner, the screen goes black, the app crashes. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting my phone, but to no avail. Game play is fantastic, but if I can't get back to my game after a session, why keep the game?
Good game and stuff, i love it but i have something to say about it. First, you sometimes hit an invisibile wall while you run and thet sometimes photo mode can't get the creature for tasks. It's not something really important, but you should fix this.The reason I rated 2 stars is that the cloud save doesn't work, and I lost ALL of my stuff and I can't get my world back that i spent a lot of time playing. Plz, why is that, I don't want to start from the beginning. I even restarted my device.
It's such a nice and addictive game. But the problem is like hell! Whenever I play, it crashes every few minutes. It just locks the device everytime but now, it just shuts down the phone and it restarts. I was playing today and forgot to save. My phone just shut down all of a sudden and when I turned it on, ark opened all over again. And my 1 hour progress was just lost! Even the would you like to continue the left game option doesn't help! It basicly loads the last save! Not where we left!!
To be fair, the port is done really well, IAPs aren't mandatory to progress, and the slim chance to bring lost creatures back is something that should be refitted for the PC version. Stability can be a concern, but we're talking about a game bound to melt high-end computers. Autosaves are frequent enough to counter that. The only lacking feature from the PC version are configurable multipliers, a few preset difficulty settings are not enough.
Doesn't run on my tablet. Goes straight back to my home screen after 5 seconds of the opening logo. Giving it 3 stars regardless because it runs on my phone, it's a great game for all platforms, but it lags horribly when there's a lot of stuff on the screen (i.e. when near or in a large base or around a lot of dinos). If the stability issues can be worked out then I'd definitely rate it higher.
Some back buttons are missing. We need to close the app to return to home. The app become unusable after cleaning data. Impossible or unclear to change the difficulty. The game is really hard and often the character appear front a dinosaur that killing you. Play time: 5 seconds. What to do and how to evolute is not clear. Have we to die 10.000 time before to become useful for that world? That game os good but those things spoil the game experience
