Dwarf Fortress Remote App Reviews

I just learned the dev could be releasing an update sometime in the near future according to Twitter. That’s very exciting, as this really is a functional way to play DF on Mobile, and it is clearly a labor of love. My 5 star review is predicated on the fact that this will undergo continued support, as I was under the impression this had sort of become abandonware. It does have a few oddities, but with such a huge game, and it being essentially free if you have a computer, any small gripes are n

Great when it works.

I had to uninstall and reinstall the client to get rid of the tileset issue. I really enjoyed the iPad interface before, and while I love the Steam release (especially Steam Deck support), I like the iPad experience a lot. Thanks, Mifki!

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able to commit dwarven warcrimes on mobile is amazing as all other reviews state, only problem is that this is 2 years outdated and still has a few bugs.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?

Great solution to playing dwarf fortress remotely on iPad 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.

This was great back when the developer actively supported it. It seems like maybe the announcement of the steam version deterred them from working on it more? Kind of a bummer, I really liked this version but it’s insanely far behind the game now.
