Dwarf Fortress Remote for Android

The concept of this is amazing. It’s almost perfect, until I ran into a bug that made it unplayable. The bug I found was that any time I created a squad no matter what kind or how many dwarves I had in it, if I tried to open the menu to give them a command like attack or even move the app would crash. I’ve tried turning the DF server on and off, I’ve tried turning my phone on and off. No luck. I find out Mifki (the developer) has a site and there’s a contact email. I figured I’d email him about the issue and didn’t receive a reply at all. This has been several months now that I’ve sent it in. Also seeing how the last update was in over 2 years ago in 2019, I can’t help but feel their priorities changed. Which is fine however you should either un-list the game on the AppStore or (more favorably) open up the source code to the community. That way we could update it to run on the most recent version of DF and also fix any left over bugs that were left. It could also be made free beside the option to run a server for a couple bucks a month. And also we could even try to implement an Adventurer mode because as of right now you can only do Fortress mode. All in all, I did have an enjoyable experience using the app besides the bugs and out dated nature of it. The UI is impeccable for what this game actually is. I was astonished how easily I picked it up compared to having to remember all the key bindings. You really have done a great job with this. It’s just a shame that you left it. I’ll be happy to update my review if you end up reaching out or at least un-abandoning it. For now I’m leaving it a 1 star to hopefully get the attention of those who need it.

Great solution to playing dwarf fortress remotely on Mobile and phone. Extremely simple setup on my PC and the easiest way to experience DF for the first time. Saved me so much time with the preloaded tilesets and mods on PC. Super awesome and intuitive interface.

After paying for the software I thought I would be able to play the game. But then it asks for a monthly subscription to access a game that is already free on PC. I wish I could get my money back :/

Hey, this app is amazing! Being able to commit dwarven warcrimes on mobile is amazing as all other reviews state, only problem is that this is 2 years outdated and still has a few bugs. I can’t seem to find any updates past 2019, do you plan to continue development?

I don’t ever leave reviews but I feel this one deserves it, the ability to play dwarf fortress on your phone is amazing! The server was a bit hard to set up but it was very rewarding once I got it.
