Don't Starve Mobile Is Criminally Underrated.

Ойындар

Don't starve is an incredibly popular game with a ton of differrent players, and yet one version which is often overlooked is the mobile one, but why? Well, in this video essay/game review im going to be trying to explain just that!
As this is one of my first video essays, the quality of the script isnt all too good, that coupled with the fact that i have no idea how to do transitions well makes it much worse, but either way, i hope you can enjoy watching the video and comment some constructive criticism for me i the future!

As someone who is only just transitioning to Don't Starve content, it would really mean a lot to me if you would consider subscribing to the channel, as i will be sure to make more videos like this with increasing quality.
Anyways, thanks for reading! have an amazing day :)

    Dont worry about bashing on the mobile version, honestly deserves it 😂. Even though ipad doesnt have the obnoxious inventory problem, I have crazy glitches on all worlds: Deerclops, bearger, dragonfly never show up, and cave seasons are reversed. Summer outside? Winter in caves so freezing. Autumn outside? Infinite rain in caves like its spring. And then sometimes the ruins reverses the cave so its from autumn to spring back to autumn

    Thats insane! iv personally never had that cave glitch, but it does seem really interesting! (as well as annoying -_-) a reocurring glitch that happens is sometimes my screen turns purple or really any colour, statics out for like 3 seconds and then turns back to normal randomly when i play, its like the game has a seizure or something and it honestly always scares me when it happens xD as for bosses not spawning, that HAS happened to me and its incredibly annoying when you play as WX preparing for spring, and deerclops nopes out xD

    In the regular version of Don't starve, you are almost always at a disadvantage in combat as well, unless you're playing as wigfred or Wolfgang. Combat is meant to be like and don't starve.

    yeah, not to mention the weapons the game gives you are inherently cowardly, that coupled with the sanity drain you get from most monsters means that combat should almost always be your last resort, even if it IS easiest

    good video! I think the transitions between sections are both too numerous and too long for this length of video. Most of the time, you've already done a great job transitioning to the next section in your voiceover, and you don't need a dramatic pause of anticipating what you're going to talk about next, since you've already just told us. There's about as many transitions as you would find in an hour long video essay, which really breaks up the flow of the video. You're pretty good at writing the transitions, you should allow them to carry the flow on their own.

    Please never buy the switch "together" version.You get 20 fps, it takes a lethal amount of time to go through sinkholes, imput lag, no chat, broken servers, server sided everything (even when in a one person server), and it just randomly crashes.

    sadly rooting your phone is a must, iv seen plenty of ways to do so but it seems a rooted phone is needed in all scenarios if youre completely replacing a phone it might be worth it to give rooting your phone a shot, as that is the only difficult part of the transfer (there are plenty of tutorials online which i would show but i cant post links unfortunately) but other than that it is sadly impossible :(

    I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m not the first to say this here, but the major reason the other versions are preferred is because of Don’t Starve *Together.* Built-in ROG, a shipwrecked mod approved by klei themselves (i’m pretty sure, anyway), and more content that singleplayer doesn’t have. But if we’re talking singleplayer only, yeah i can see why some would prefer mobile. Especially when Apple Arcade exists and you can get DS pocket+ on there if you’re subbed.

    I never played don’t starve mobile but I think if I played it I would get bored after 150 day or so because I think the charm with solo don’t starve is that you can go form DLC to DLC and build a cool base with all the resources from the other world but sadly you can’t do that on mobile and you can’t play hamlet (which is my favorite DLC)but after all I didn’t try it and it would I think be my opinion of the game on this platform if I played it also great video 😀
