Great Game but Terrible Interface – Don't Starve: Pocket Edition Review

I play this game on my smart phone and it has the most annoying user interface. The attack button and the interact button and tiny and RIGHT next to each other on the screen. In addition, they cannot be moved nor can their sizes be altered, which is typical in other IOS games. Meanwhile, clicking on things on screen consistently clicks on the wrong asset. I tried to open a chest but instead Wilson goes to chop down a tree! What?! My most recent character death happened when I was trying to cook in the crockpot but Wilson instead attacked my domesticated beefalo who then killed me. Don’t starve is a great game on other systems but this port just isn’t playable. You can’t reliably kite enemies, interact/attack mix-ups make the game incredibly frustrating, trying to pick up certain items in tight spaces is next to impossible since the grab button will seemingly grab things randomly while touching the screen isn’t reliable either. It really saddens me to see the game like this. I really do enjoy Don’t Starve on other systems, but I just can’t bring myself to play it on mobile any more.
