The game is great don't get me wrong. The biggest glaring issue is that it was made for computer, not mobile. Controls are very finicky, leading to attacking things you don't want, or running randomly into things that isn't good. To proficiently finish this game, you have to be pretty accurate with movement and attacking. Overall, pretty good game, but bad controls.
I love this game. I was hesitant to buy it because of all the reviews about the difficult controls, but it's not horrible. I was excited about the Home Sea Home update HOWEVER the game is super buggy. The invisible wall bug has NOT been fixed and there are some weird issues like the Doydoys having 2 heads and Packim going invisible at certain angles or not following. It might be ok for experienced players, but it won't give a good first impression to newbies. Wait for the next update to buy.
I love the game but I'm having issues when I connect my xbox one controller to play. Everything works great but I'm not able to view my map. Anytime I hit the button that's suppose to be the map it just pauses my game and it won't allow me to change the controls so I have no way of viewing it. Any help would be great.
I enjoy playing this game a lot, I would rate the game 5 stars but there is a bug where any walls are invisible when you place them, it's annoying as it's hard to place walls around your base because you can't see what you're doing. Also I've noticed that while running vertically with Wilbur, he turns invisible and does not get the movement boost. Also, packim baggins turns invisible when you face him vertically and is unable to follow you so he just stays there and you are unable to access him
As someone who has played the PC version this is a pretty good reincarnation. the reason i give it a 2 stars is because the hud is still just a bit too small for my sausage fingers and dragging the items across the screen is just annoying because sometimes it just doesn't register but the fighting gameplay is ok but its not the best but it gets the job done. but other than that it has good graphics and doesnt lag my S7 so ill give it a 4/5
It is a very well made game but I have problems when I'm on the volcano. When I press the map and zoom in, it zooms in on a different area and can be hard to move the view of the map after its zoomed in. I'd appreciate it if the developers can fix this since this has been a problem for me for a while. Thanks!
Although the controls have no chance of being as fluent as the pc versions, the gameplay itself is enough to entice the ability to play on the go, even with the switch version out. I just wish that we could get hamlet on mobile or switch soon. I'll always love the Don't Starve series, no matter what the newest game is released on.
So many bugs. The worst is that when you toggle on/off the light from the boat most of the time you won't be able to press anything on the game anymore. You can't even save the game. Best you can do is wait for it to automatically save and then force close the app for all the other buttons to work again. Hopefully this gets worked on
I like DS a lot, I have it on my PC and on my phone. Recently installed SW on my phone but it's so buggy 😢 I can't use the hammer, whenever I close the app, it still plays on background that I had to forcefully close it 😢. Dev, please fix the bug. Recent update was way back 11/2020. I don't want to uninstall it but I may have to if this is not fixed. 😢
If you love Don't Starve on the PC, you are going to love Shipwrecked. It's essentially nearly the same game, with some slight mechanics refinement and zoom tuned for the mobile platform. Several different playable characters and many scenarios keep you entertained for hours. It's not an idle clicker though. It's still a survival strategy game that requires attention and gets your adrenalin pumping.
Controls are a bit hard cuz it's on mobile. I think it's a harder game mode than don't starve and I haven't been able to get beyond day 7 and I have to use a lot of fandom pages for help with the game. Super challenging and when you die it's super demotivating cuz you can't resurrect unless you create that item. New characters unlockable in the game which is exciting. I love the don't starve franchise. When it saves the entire game pauses for 10 secs so dont worry when that happens, it's normal.
I absolutely LOVE this game, but after the last update, the graphics are horrible! The game is almost unplayable, or at least far less enjoyable. The ground is pixelated, creatures and animations are distorted (particilarly Ballphins), Packim Baggins is invisible and does not follow, making him unusable, walls are invisible, I mean it's bug city! I'm no longer losing saved games (thanks), but this is barely playable! And right on my Xmas break when I have lots of time to play! Please fix!
The controls for mobile are kinda hard to get by. Using an xbox controller would be a perfect fix for this if the map button worked! When using a controller the player is unable to open or view the map in any way, and one cannot simply use the touch screen to open the map without restarting the game with the controller disconnected. This merits the 2 star rating as progressing in Dont Starve without a viewable map is near impossible. I would just uninstall but dont want to throw away $7.00
Love the Don't Starve Games but SW is BROKEN! There's way to many to try to list but when you get your follower Packem', and he is next to an enemy then your player will agro on him and end up killing him before starting on the enemy. This causes everything that you had on him to now go everywhere. Other times if I go to pick up an item and open inventory to fast then I can no longer access anything else until I restart my entire phone! SW has a long way to go to catch up to ROG and DST!
Buggy as all hell. Good game, but could you guys PLEASE do some tweaking and bugfixing? This is an otherwise lovely game, but the crockpot and chest storage don't work at all (you have to manually drag every item which takes forever, and they often don't even stick), and sometimes items won't click from the inventory. If you can fix these huge quality-of-life things, I'd rate 5 stars.
This is a really good game. The artstyle, characters, and the wide sea is really enticing. As much as I loved the game just like 'Don't Starve: Pocket Edition', this is really the more bug-infested game. 1.) The Ballphins are a really glitchy mess, and don't resemble a dolphin unless it swims towards you. 2.) Wilbur's running animation is bonkers. While it's fine when he runs left or right, he suddenly becomes invisible when running backwards or forward. That's all. Keep up the good work!
Deer developer, I have been thoroughly enjoying the experience of being able to play Don't Starve: Shipwrecked on a tablet. The game runs smooth with one hiccup, in game there are berry bushes and once one is dug up the temporary item icon glitches. This has not prevented me from picking up the item and planting it as intended. Thank you for your time.
I have the same problem for YEARS! People are talking about it everywhere but developers doesn't seem to care. When my game starts it thinks I have controller for some reason (No Bluetooth, third party soft etc.) and because of that it doesn't even recognise screen touches... This is PAID game and I downloaded after like 3 years to see if it is fixed and it's fricking NOT! Just make something like button at the start to choose if you want controller or whatever, just fix it Poco F3 - Android 11
It's a great game that contains all the features from the pc version. However, the controls are not the greatest on a phone that requires you to tap everywhere. I believe an easy fix would be to add a joystick as a controller option in game. Other than that the game is outstanding.
I love dont starve, have supported Klei on PC since DS first came out. As much as im excited for the port to mobile, the controls are really difficult. Planting is hard. Dropping things in general is hard. Kiting is really challenging, esp with the joystick. Like i cant even fight a tree guard. I'm sad to say but it seems this game is not ready for mobile. I cant even imagine kiting the bosses.
I love Klei (I have their games on every gaming platform I have) , but this game was absolutely not ready for release. You can't change the controls to a keyboard, it takes forever to load, and it's buggy as hell.
Buggy. Can't click the boat lantern on and then click in the inventory without the controls being disabled and having to quit the game. Pixel 2xl. Also don't like that it automatically saves the moment i die so that i can't undo my mistakes. Can't light coconades
Love it on pc, but literally unplayable on my phone. All other games respond to touch controls fine, but DS insists I have a controller attached and won't respond to any touch. As such, I can't even get past the title screen.
I LOVE THIS GAME!!! BUT.... what's keeping me from giving 5 stars is there are some bugs in this game, especially the walls, I placed some stone walls but THEY'RE INVISIBLE 😞😟 they're still there, as i can't walk through the space, but they aren't showing. It's irritating that I stopped playing the game 😢 please fix the bugs, i love this game 😭
The game is excellent. however the biggest drawback is that the progress doesn't get saved. Even if the system shows saving it automatically, when you try to load it, you don't get any saved games. restarting the compete game is painful and boring. however otherwise it's a superb game
I really do like the Don't Starve games, especially the pocket edition and pc. Although this game is okay. It starts when it wants to. It has so many issues that needs to be patched up. To bad that this game hasn't been updated since 2020. You can tell the pocket edition had more effort and care into it. I would love it if you guys came back to this game and fixed it one day or just combine it with the pocket edition.
