Review summary

Graveyard Keeper on Android is praised for its engaging gameplay and compelling dark twist on the farming sim genre. However, many users experience frequent crashes, severe lag, and loading issues that hinder playability. Control mechanics, especially the touch joystick, are often criticized for being finicky and causing movement problems. The app lacks flexible saving options and cloud saves, causing frustration due to lost progress. Additionally, the UI suffers from missing features like item hover info, and there is no controller support. These issues limit enjoyment despite the game's strong core content.

Pros

Engaging and enjoyable gameplay with a compelling story.
Positive experience for players on mid to high-end devices.
Appealing dark twist on farming/simulation genre, similar to Stardew Valley.
Worth playing for fans of the PC and console versions of the game.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, especially after playing for some time or when trying to sleep.
Severe performance issues including lag, freezing, and long loading times noted by many.
Control issues: touch joystick is finicky, imprecise, and sometimes causes the character to get stuck.
Lack of proper saving options and cloud save functionality, leading to loss of progress.
User interface limitations: inability to hover for item info and oversimplified menus; no controller support.

2024-09-19	Aa*****	Unbelievablely disappointed. I used to LOVE this game. I've played it and beaten it 4 or 5 gimes over. But now, it's completely unplayable. I may get an hour or so of time into it and then it proceeds to crash and not load. Then I have to uninstall and start over. It's genuinely heart breaking.

2023-06-12	Za*****	I enjoy this game, but mobile version of Game is a bit broken does not open anymore without reinstalling. Edit: found a decent Workaround for startup issues. Go into app settings and remove storage permissions for game. Then start the game, and allow the permission again when prompted, and game starts. Annoying, but easier than reinstalling and potentially losing your save.

2023-03-05	Ja*****	Great game, and I want to play more very very badly. That being said, the game only launches once. Every launch after that will be a black screen. If you delete and reinstall the game, it will launch again. I want to give it one star, but since the game is legitimately good (5 star gameplay), I'll give it 2 and just wish I could play more.

2022-12-24	Wi*****	I have played GK across pretty much every platform, and still love this game. Just wish there were more DLCs for the phone versions. That said, the cell phone version has some very severe bugs. Crashing is not uncommon, and the game refusing to even start without being uninstalled and reinstalled really impacts the ability to enjoy playing.

2022-11-09	Th*****	Sloppy port. UI does not work properly, you can't hover over items to get more information about them. In later stages of the game this makes certain mechanics in the game unusable. There are a few bugs, nothing that impacts the gameplay, just slightly annoying. No controller support. A good game to play while pooping.

2022-10-21	Sh*****	So far just got the game and it runs good. I have a Samsung s22 ultra and have not ran into any real lag or any experience that everyone with the folds have been having. The controls work great, a little on the big side could also use the release of all docs. But overall a good game for the few min that I got to play so far. Would recommend to anyone who plays on pc, steamdeck, and other sources .

2022-07-17	ed*****	Couldn't there be an option to save whenever you choose or have an auto save feature instead of just when you make the man go to sleep? Every time I think I may shut off the phone screen for more than 1 minute, even if I don't get out of the game.. The game decides to restart. That's extremely annoying. The rest is fine. Can there be a fix to this?

2021-09-28	On*****	My save game no longer loads, after loading screen, it stays black. I lost hours of progression. I can start a new game without problem but that does not solve the problem. Also the touch joystick controller needs a dead zone in the middle so I can control the character precisely. Maybe even in small amounts it should just rotate the character without moving. Right now it is very hard to control during a fight.

2021-02-14	Tr*****	Unplayable and abandoned. I get the LazyBear and tinyBuild splash screens, the skeleton loading bar comes up, and it just doesn't load. I tried moving files around on internal storage, no dice. After initial purchase, I uninstalled with intent to reinstall, but was automatically "refunded" (meaning I'll get my $10.49 back in a week if I'm lucky) so I had to purchase it again, but it still won't load. Should've checked the last update (7/19). Paid $10.49 for a dead game. Great.

2021-01-18	Ju*****	Great game, runs well on more modern, mid range and up devices. Do not purchase if you have an old or cheap device. Loved the game and story, deducting stars for it not being updated or receiving DLC. Game of Crone and Stranger Sins would make the game feel more complete but it looks like mobile won't be getting DLCs, updates, or bug fixes for some time (if ever).
