I can't believe this game is only 2 bucks. I'm trying to get other endings and while it's hard it's mostly because I keep jumping ahead. Prequel to a dark room (another good game I downloaded with game pass) I'm having loads of fun with it even though I'm being taunted every time I die lmao. Would not recommend if you don't like text adventures but is a joy if you do.

The developer of this game has shocked me agian with a second amazing game in the universe of ADR. I always thought about the history of what happened before I lit my fire in ADR and now can experience that. thank you, Amir.

I loved it. I loved the first one, and then I loved this one even more. I will say there is no one to gather resources in this one, but besides that the gameplay was very similar, just expanded upon. I highly recommend it!

Waited about 10 years for this to be ported to android. It has been worth the wait! I finished A Dark Room years ago, started The Ensign and awitched to android. 705 Mins, wanted to make sure I had finished everything before leaving this review. The ending is fantastic, forced me to replay to find everything. Love the concept of "You can't have your cake and eat it too" Play A Dark Room FIRST!!!! Amazing game!

I am someone who bought the first game, 'A Dark Room', upon its original release years ago. It was an awesome game with a unique story and gameplay. With the release of 'The Ensign', I had high hopes and expectations, however the game fell short in nearly every aspect. There's literally nothing new or exciting, except for a short extension to the story. Everything is nearly identical, with a few changes to gameplay. Should've just added an update, instead of selling a whole new game. Not worth

When once clicked during load/"screen refresh", game required to be forced restart. Game is on brutality mode, death means complete loss of progress, which I really hated. I didn't know this before purchase, too. It's purely adventure and no idle game components. In the predecessor nothing can really go wrong. Here, between death are little messages that critize you for dying. The devs made finishing the game challenging and "earned". For me this was a big contrast and disappointment.

nowhere near as good as the original dark room game. Rapid gear degradation makes exploring a chore, other mechanics of the game very much an extension of the original (combat, movement exploring, visuals etc.) story line not engaging and difficult to interpret, constantly having to replace high tier gear, and loosing combat due to gear failing is the nail in the coffin.
