User Reviews

Reviewers praise CDDA’s depth and the iOS port as the best option for Apple devices, with playable performance after learning the controls and ongoing updates. However, many criticize the annual subscription as overpriced, and mobile-specific issues dominate: UI scaling and alignment problems, clipped controls, unstable menus/inputs, and occasional crashes. Some prefer a one-time purchase or cheaper alternative. Overall, strong core game, but the mobile experience is hampered by monetization concerns and platform-specific usability bugs.

Pros

Complex, highly regarded CDDA core game on mobile; a deep and acclaimed roguelike.
The iOS port is the best option for playing CDDA on Apple devices and is actively maintained.
The port generally works well and is playable after learning the controls.
Some reviewers view the annual subscription as fair given ongoing updates.

Cons

Annual subscription price is seen as a scam or overpriced and a barrier to play.
UI/UX scaling issues on iOS (misaligned UI, clipping gamepad, borderless/fullscreen problems, automatic screen rescale).
Menu and input instability: panels disappearing, menus piling up, keyboards popping up and not closing, and input duplication with Bluetooth keyboards.
Crashes or instability during exploration or general play.
Pricing expectations vs PC: desire for a one-time purchase or cheaper/free options on other platforms.

Recent reviews

You can’t play the game without paying $12.99 a year. It’s just a scam. Don’t waste your time. Really a shame since I love this game so much on desktop.

EDIT:The developer does not care about anyone on an iphone 16 suffering from cut off UI, because he just couldn’t get used to the new, barely shifted, UI. Insane. See the reply. Not a fan of a yearly sub. one time buy maybe. The UI is shifted compared to the other ports, and game pad on the bottom left is clipping with the phone making the diagonal bottom left very hard to tap. UPDATE: The developer seems to not really care as the UI is still misaligned. I would avoid.
