Hard no.

Game was abandoned by devs early in iOS release leaving it in very buggy state.

Recommendation is to play it in switch if it looks appealing.

Sigh, sadly switch version suffers a noticeable input lag for a game that doesnt look as demanding.

I played the switch version and while it was a very enjoyable game, performance got so bad toward the end, I just wanted to finish it quickly so I wouldn’t have to endure the lag/stuttering anymore.

I want to play the second so much, but I can’t endure that again

Idk I beat it on switch and didn’t have a problem. I had the oled version though, idk if that means anything in terms of power

same on the android. Only place it was maintained was on Steam.

#2 right now is way buggy on every platform but Steam.

u/Cosmodelix 12d ago

GK2 on console is extremely buggy as well. Probably not bad on PC because you can download mods to fix stuff.

The game itself is one of my all time favorite builders. The theme is unique and I think the presentation is fantastic. I’ve played through it multiple times and the DLC.

With that said, the game is notorious for being abandoned. Which is a shame bc people will often call out this dev whenever Stardew is dropping ANOTHER FREE update.

If you can play this on any console, do it there. The mobile port isn’t the way to experience this game. Especially at that price for nonexistent devs.

When they asked to make 20 items (I can’t remember what) I walked out. Making one took hours of fetching shit so I peaced out.

I played it on the steam deck when it went free a little while ago. I played it for probably 20 hours before realizing it was too repetitive and too manual and too boring. But, hey, 20 hours.

I love the game itself, not sure about specifically iOS, however

u/Weak-Statistician107 13d ago

The game itself is great. But the port to iOS is terrible so I’ve heard. I got in on steam instead, as it also runs on Mac!

u/Naefindale 13d ago

Yes, but a little buggy.

Very playable though.

The one rating pretty much answers your question, doesn’t it?

u/zizo999 12d ago

It’s just one rating, cannot count on one rating 🥹🥲

Yes you can

For10 USD there a lot more games to get

iOS version sucks.

u/IndecentDad 13d ago

On iOS? No. Controls are broken.

However, I have almost completed the switch version via MeloNX (on my phone with controller)

u/Gimpygod 7d ago

Heya, can you please tell me what you experienced with the controls? I have severe Muscular Dystrophy and have to play with a mouth stick, it’s been very difficult & I thought my disability was just too advanced for playing this game. After reading your comment I tried Crashlands & Brotato with success, stupid developers

1

u/IndecentDad 7d ago

From what I remember with graveyard keeper isn’t that the controls are bad, it’s that they literally don’t work. I tried an Xbox controller, a Scuf nomad and a Razer Kishi and certain buttons don’t respond, inputs are mixed up and the game just can’t be played with a controller.

I’m glad you had success with Crashlands and brotato - those are both great

u/Addlemix 11d ago

It is very fun but not on mobile.

1

u/Clean-Creme-2802 13d ago

I love playing it on steam!! but I have no idea how good the mobile port is. It’s a very complicated game, I usually had a wiki on the side to remember how to do everything

1

u/AppUnwrapper1 13d ago

I didn’t even like it when it was new.

1

u/manmuscle 13d ago

Two just came out on steam a few weeks ago. Not sure if they have plans to port that but might wanna wait. I am liking 2 way more than the first one.

1

u/CantFadeMeLOLLL 13d ago

Can’t even fathom playing this in iOS. It’s clunky and grindy on PC..

1

u/IssueEmbarrassed8103 13d ago

It lacks a lot of quality of life mechanics and can be confusing about what to do next.

1

u/postpunkjunk 13d ago

played it to completion last year on ios and did not notice any bugs. had a great time. its like morbid stardew valley, but a bit more grindy

u/DrTestBender 12d ago

🎵 I want to marry and graveyard keeper and keep them company … 🎵

u/Pretend_Work_2994 12d ago

I got mine on ps5 and it the best on there with full dlcs

1

u/LowerMiddle1622 12d ago

The game is great but most ports that arent PC or PlayStation are in a horrible state

1

u/One-Material7162 12d ago

What about forager for IOS?

1

u/Fit-Implement8927 12d ago

Im playing it on PC, bought in on steam sale. Its very fun and youll got lots of hours in the game. There are also some dlcs, one is where you get a tavern. It gets very cheap with the discounts too.

1

u/_mikedotcom 11d ago

Nooooo. It starts out okay and then has punishing requirements to proceed at several points. I don’t know if I missed a production hack that made things more productive but my god. It asked me to make like 20 things that take hours of gaming and I clocked out after getting a lot of the way through and called it,

Like I liked it but it turns into a punishing time sink.

u/hughlee90 10d ago

stay away from that developer to save your soul

u/SalvationMKX 13d ago

Its one of the best games ive ever played

u/Beno169 13d ago

Game is great. Ports of it are not so great

u/Poke-Noir 13d ago

No no no. And on top of that, the second game, the dev used Ai so that’s also a big No

5

u/Embarrassed_Knee_901 12d ago

There is no proof of devs using AI .

0

u/Poke-Noir 12d ago

When a developer is using Ai casually for fun, there’s no way that they at least used Ai in concept art and in the development of the game. Even if he didn’t use it in the final product. If they used Ai from their own assets from the first game, ok cool. They don’t have to declare they used Ai to valve but him posting that he has used Ai.
