Comments on Don't Starve: Pocket Edition for Android

★★★★☆ Theodore Macias · Jul 18, 2026
The game is really good and faithful towards the original game, but the console controls are subpar unless you have an Xbox or other controller linked to it. The problem that arises is that Mobile games are meant to be on the go when you aren't close to your gaming setup or PC, so unless you constantly are carrying a bulky controller alongside your phone to support only a handful of games, the game will be really rough to play in most situations. Just buy a Nintendo if you want DS on the go.
★★★★☆ Laslax · May 7, 2026
Good, but not flawless. The good news is that Don't Starve: Pocket Edition is COMPLETELY OFFLINE... well, at the cost of no DLC content, and that saves are lost when you uninstall the game for some reason. There's also some minor issues with the touch controls, like issuing attack commands at the joystick, but the game has controller support.
★★★★★ Haaarper · May 3, 2026
Best survival game on the planet. Also, even though the controls are clunky, you can get used to them and once you do, it feels even more rewarding to progress through the game because you know you play on a disadvantage compared to PC. 10/10 game. Can only recommend it to anyone who is looking for a survival game in which you can sink in a lot of hours and to get dedicated about. Klei is also an amazing company worth supporting every day of the week.
★☆☆☆☆ Prinnixie · Jul 2, 2026
The controls and bugs I'm regretting buying this game PLUS Don't Starve Together is going to come out soon on mobile. I wish I could refund this app😞
★★☆☆☆ SM · Jun 26, 2026
Great game. Worst control scheme ever for touch. Impossible to build structures and the joystick automatically attacks when pushed hard. Have the devs ever touched a phone?
★★☆☆☆ Quý Sang · Aug 15, 2026
I ignored the bad reviews and bought this for pure nostalgia, but eventually the interface got me... What I don't like the most is perhaps the inventory especially when cooking. I often accidentally eat monster meat instead of cooking them. I hope this game is still improves in the future, and you let us customize the controls like say PUBG?
★★☆☆☆ Richard Harris · Sep 24, 2026
Too old. This is clearly a great game on PC/console but the Android port is the oldest version of the game with none of the improvements they've made to make it far more playable. I would love to play an updated Android version, but I'm done with this one.
