Don't Starve: Pocket Edition is not a game you finish. It is a game you survive. You will die from darkness. You will die from starvation while surrounded by berries you forgot to cook. You will go insane because you picked up too many evil flowers. Build a Pickaxe
Surprisingly, Klei nailed it. The Pocket Edition uses a floating virtual joystick for movement and a tap-to-interact system. You tap trees to chop them, tap rocks to mine them. Combat, which requires "kiting" (hitting an enemy and running away), takes practice, but the game includes an "auto-attack" feature when you hold down on an enemy.
What makes the Pocket Edition remarkable is how it translates the complex inventory management of the PC version to a touchscreen. Klei Entertainment designed a bespoke interface for mobile devices. The inventory slots are clear, crafting is handled through a streamlined menu on the side of the screen, and interactions are handled via context-sensitive taps. It feels intuitive, proving that complex strategy games can indeed thrive on phones and tablets.
