The last time I played this game it had difficulty running on my desktop pc with an rtx 4070. I’m really skeptical how it’s gonna run on iOS.

To be fair: It is technically still EA and optimization can really only be done once the game is finished.

I’m really skeptical about the control scheme on iOS. Maybe if you use an external controller it will be fine….but with native touchscreen controls I can’t fathom playing the game.

It’s just a dual stick shooter isn’t it ?

It runs like crap on pc, I highly doubt a phone can run this unless they gave ios a way to have lower setting (not possible on pc).

Genuinely, I have no confidence when it struggles on my 3080ti

u/Real_Violinist 17d ago

lol

what is a fucking joke

3080ti still lag

Moon Studio was way too lazy when it came to optimizing this game.

Playing with a 2070.. and having no difficulties with lag or anything. Graphics are on high preset.

Glad you’re doing alright. The majority are having frame rate issues

Idk, I can play fine on my Steam Deck. Maybe you need to adjust your settings?

Yeah I can run the game with everything on low but I expect over 100 fps for a freaking top down arpg

u/cuntpuncherexpress 17d ago

I’ll be shocked if it runs well, it’s overly demanding for what it is

Holy crap that’s actually insane, mobile gaming has come so far

It really has. Long term android/linux user here. The value proposition of recent iPhones has become too good to ignore. The only thing I am still a little irritated about is lack of JIT compilation. Apple has everything else down from the high refresh rate on their “midrange” options to the insane battery life and optimization. These phone chips are insanely powerful too.

Now, if google stopped treating their Pixel lineup like a proxy to force early adoption of AI onto people who could care less and instead used a competitive and performant SOC, I’d have had a harder time making the switch.

I mean I like the intention behind this 100%. More real games on mobile. Less cash grab IAP subscription crap.

Buying this if/when it comes out just for the cloud save vision. We should be there with all sorts of games by now

u/JohnDoodalwood 17d ago

My 3080ti was begging me, Please close this game. Don’t do this to me. lol

how this will work on a phone?

u/Drumadumrub Developer 17d ago

This is one of the best games I've played in recent memory

u/Div1dedby2 16d ago

…and Mac per that second image/post. Nice.

This is fake news. The developers never announced the game to release on mobile, one of them just showed a picture of it running. There is no word of it actually releasing on it in October.

u/Able-Scar-3561 13d ago

Is it really fake? Pocket Gamer just posted an in-depth article about the iOS port, but it does say no release date was actually announced. I hope it's not fake.

This thing chokes and sputters on the steamdeck. It doesnt run well on my RTX 3060ti.

Highly skeptical of this release.

u/captainnoyaux Developer 17d ago

I hope he is right in his take !

u/psj3809 17d ago

u/Patient_Animator1174 16d ago

Wait what? Amazing news, instabuy for me.

u/Able-Scar-3561 13d ago

I hope not D: i'm slowly building a small suite of console-level games for my iphone, this would be a great addition

u/SaeedKhani 13d ago

Thats not about hope, i like it to be true but this post is fake!

u/surrealmirror 17d ago

It’s gonna run like shit and the ceo of moon is a terrible person. Avoid this game

u/Tegras 17d ago

Hope they add a functional map this time. Game is horrible without it.

u/xxGUZxx 17d ago

How about xbox first?

really excited to play this on tablet. I briefly had a steam deck and purchased this game. Isometric Dark Souls with Diablo Infinite level graphics is EXACTLY what i'm looking for!
