I get that wyverns are supposed to be deadly, dangerous, scary, but I've played this since it came out, but c'mon, it's like literally walking through the 9 circles of hell to just stand near a trench. About 10 wyverns can spawn in one spot, with all the eggs in that area. I've tried to get an egg with every flying creature at least once, and never have I gotten an egg. PLEASE, just make it a TAD easier. Also, a keep inventory setting would be very great.

Update: February 27th I'm finally able to play again. They fixed the "restore purchase" issue. I was beginning to lose hope in this game. Be sure to make your issues known players. It definitely helps and goes a long way. I just hope that the fix is permanent and no more purchase issues/ errors come up. I find this version better than Ark Survival Evolved. This version also gets events before Ascended. I'm hoping that my wife and I will enjoy playing this for years to come.

Let me start by saying that it's better on PC/console, but I'm barely at home, I would rather play other games if I am. With that said, for mobile games, in singleplayer, it's fantastic. It's buggy, but when has ark never been buggy. It works fantastic with my controller. The only thing I don't like is they pay to win, but meh, it's one way these people earn money, so not too annoying, and I ignore it. I haven't had a crash so far on my S22. I wish people were more patient with the developers

Great game, but VERY laggy, at least on mid-low-end devices. Make it an option to reduce the distance that foliage will render in and this issue will probably be mostly fixed. Remove the blur, it's still there on high graphics. Fix the invisible rocks/trees after you break them once then come back. Fix the Equus taming, can't feed while riding.

Too unoptimized to low end devices, UI sucks and slow, Features from old mobile version are missing, as if the game was not even intended for mobile it's just a pc game emulated to mobile. Updates focused on the gamepass and other micro transactions (obviously greed) than actually fixing the game.

It's a good game but I just lost my world. For some reason after loading back up as I normally do I spawned in a completely random place with my character level intact but no item in my inventory. I wanted to get to my base but everything was gone, structures and tames. It also reset me to day one and loading to the last backup didn't do anything either. Honestly I'm done with the game for now.

it has been the best survival dinosaur game so far, much love and thanks to the producers, but there is a major problem while playing the game, the game lags and it's very slow, turning sprinting and anything that has to do with touch is slow and this has rendered the game unplayable, the fault is coming from the game because majority of ark players are using medium to high end phones and the game isn't running smoothly, if it costs the graphics for the smoothness of the game pls do it. Thank u.

I give it a solid 3, the game is free except for the dlc, the game is stable enough on mobile to play through and grind. my biggest caveats are the paywalls, putting the settings, cyropods, and cryo fridges behind paywalls is so stupidly absurd. I get the game is free on mobile, huge Win ?, but instead of putting game settings and in-game craftable objects behind paywalls you just leave the dlcs behind the walls, the servers I don't care for I'm a solo player. 3/5, would be higher.

I've finally moved to this from the old Ark mobile. So far, I'm loving this. The graphics are just amazing! And pretty smooth, too! I'd like to suggest 2 small points that would be an improvement, though. For one, the HUD could be rearranged to look like it does on PC. It's a little irritating not being able to see character health levels without dismounting. The second thing that would be a great improvement is importing the two fingers tap configuration setting that was part of the old game.

Fix the crashes, I spent 40 minutes gathering resources just for the game to crash, and then what? why there is no auto save happening every minute or so? I loaded the game again to find myself in my old base with all the progress and resources lost. It is unplayable at the moment you always have that fear that it might just crash. the immersive experience is ruined. fix the crash issue. fix the save cycle. then it it s Five star game. right now it is a mess.

It is really well done, though they do need to fix some bugs, but other than that, it is amazing! It is a great game, one thing I do really want is more graphics option's. I really hope they make scorched earth free, because the scorched earth DLC is free on pc and not on mobile. please add keep inventory. there are weird glitches with plants and thatch buildings. After the newest update my game crashes every minute, it won't stop crashing, please fix :)

Edit 10/5/2025 One of the updates fixed the issue. Can play again :) Was great for awhile but after one of the new updates the game refuses to see my purchase of the ark pass. Hit restore, says sees purchases restored etc but then try to access scorched, God console etc and it gives me the prompt to buy a subscription. I've tried turning the phone off and on, reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. Waste of my time and money at this point. -Galaxy s24

The game is good but the reason for 2stars is that the issues in the game, the game is laggy(still much better than few months ago), the dinosaurs do not spawn in the caves neither the drops in cave. In the case of supply drops, a lot of them just gets under the ground unreachable especially in the snowy regions. Still I love to play the game but it is frustrating and exhausting that I flew on my dino to the drop while game is lagging a lot and when I reach it I can't access it. Help me ?

was having fun in single player until I saved and hopped off, then when I went to sign back in for some reason epic games was having issues loading and wouldn't load me into my account. long story short it lost most of my progress and reset me way back. dont even know if I want to play anymore after losing that much progress. losing tons of work tames and building ruins the experience and I think im just going to delete the game.

Ark is my most favourite game on PC ever. I spent hundreds of hours in it. The mobile version works well but you need a better phone to play it. On my low-mid range phone Motorola g84 5G is the game playable on low details with some lagging, approximately 20-30 FPS. It sounds terrible but I am able to play it just normally. 100% offline, 100% free Edit: After installing the game on a better phone, I can play on high without lagging at all.

From 2 stars to 4, after a few updates for like 6 months I've waited for it to be playable.. I can finally say that it was worth it, the game is running locked 30 fps on my device on highest graphics and more on low to med, which isn't really bad if your just playing single player.. There are still a lot of noticeable bugs, like your tame just disappearing out of thin air or if you're trying to tame something and it just clips under the floor.. But I think it's just ARK being ARK.

I'm actually enjoying the game, salute to all the developers, and testers of this game, I'm really proud of you guys for your hardwork, I have a suggestion, i really want to play on other maps, like Genesis part 1, part 2, extinction, and other maps, the problem is, I'm just 14, and I can't actually afford the maps, so my suggestion is, why not make the other maps unlockable? After finishing the story of the "Island" map, why not make the next map unlockable? To make it more fun, and exciting.

Dude, Ark is seriously awesome, right? I can't get enough of it! The gameplay is so addictive, and I'm constantly finding new things to do. Sometimes I wish they would add some dinosaurs that are currently missing from the game. It would be awesome to have even more creatures roaming around the island! Think about all the possibilities for taming and fighting. This game is already huge, but more dinos would make it even better! I'm always excited to see what new updates they come up with.

Good game but my only big complaint so far is that if you accidentally turn off a fabricator or anything like that while its making something it just gets rid of your materials and completely stops making the item. was really frustrating when I accidentally did that while making the Chem lab and had to go and get everything for it again. not sure if its supposed to be like that, but if it is then I would say to change it somehow(like at least a 50% return of materials or smth along those lines)

There are certain aspects of this game that I don't like ; 1. If you accidently punch one of your items , you have to repair it . 2. The buttons for leveling up your dino are so small and close together , it's hard to click the right Stat you want to upgrade . Fix these 2 things , and I'll come back and leave a 5* review !

I would really like it if you had update at ark survival ascended stuff into the game. it's fun on its own but I think you should add more updates to keep up with the current Ark latest version on console and PC to have that stuff in the mobile version would be very great for people who don't have things like a PlayStation or a computer but the game is still very fun and overall one of the best games ever to be transferred to mobile. but I think you should add more updates please.
