Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive been loving our time with ARK Ultimate Mobile Edition. The game is massive, full of adventure, and feels like it was built for players who really want that survival-dinosaur experience anywhere. The controls work well on mobile, the graphics are solid for the platform, and its amazing just how much content is packed into this version. One thing Id really like to see in the future is the Valguero map added. Its one of our favorites from the main game, and it would bring in creatures like the Deinonychus, which we think would fit perfectly into the mobile experience. Adding that would make this already incredible game even better.
It killed our tp but game is still fun.
This is our all time favorite game that ive ever played. Mobile and PlayStation we play both. The only complain we have is that it kicks us off way too often. Im not speed hacking lol stop accusing us of that we were just sitting on a Dino looking through our items and boom.speed hacking. How? We wasnt even moving. A few times we were mid boss fight and got bumped off and came back to a very dead us.thats a tad annoying g but id still play this game if it did that every five mins lol we love the game that much. We get mentally attached to our Dinos too lol like we almost cried when our robot Rex Babba Ganoosh was killed we nearly cried. We Was all upset. Our kids made fun of us lol we have others but he was our fave. Rip bubby.
Ive been playing this game for years and its always been our favorite game, its so much fun and Im playing it more now that they made the graphics more realistic. There is an extra download that could take a while once you download but other than that we would recommend playing.
Definitely a upgrade from the first ark mobile app with most of the creatures like carchadontosaurus and yutyrannus and all the maps.
After the new update we went to get on the server we play on only to be greeted with the create a new survivor screen. Lost all our progress and the money we spent on this game. It did it to our tribe mates too.
The game was good, we will be blunt with this. It was buggy and makes you do a fairly big download of 6g and it took awhile.. But worth it.
Sooo we really wanted to ultimate mobile edition and its SOOOOOO GOOD AND CRAZY we love itttt! 10/10 The graphics, the new worlds, the new dinos, ITS JUST PERFECT! 100/10! But theres a massive glitch for mewhen the new update was launched, it said 2.45 gigabytes needed we said download it and after 12 seconds we get KICKED OUT FROM THE DOWNLOAD. IT DOESNT LET ME PLAY. YES. YOU SAW WHAT we WROTE. IT DOESNT LET ME UPLOAD IT. FIX THIS. PLEASE.
Our experience is very good overall, though spinos on the early game beach is annoying. Also please make the updates less long or fewer updates.
The games graphics are really good the game is idea is really cool we like this game but there is a thing that cant make us craft idk why or idk how maybe.
The game crash and get closed when we try to download the ressources to start playing the game.
This game is none stop glitching or closing due to speed hacking. This needs fixed.
Love the game, so much fun to play. Just the graphics can be iffy but other then that we love this game.
When we play ark in the island map for hours we feel bored in only one map.
This is such an amazing game, although, we do wonder if there are possibilities an ARK ascended version would also be mobile or at least other maps being included+more settings and free dom when it comes to building mechanics like certain building materials not working as its intended. Also was kinda bummed out when we found out that you had to pay in order to get the other maps open, but great and amazing game port nonetheless.
Too bad theres in the creative.
Amazing game for a mobile game but too much hacker in the game please if any developer see this help us with those hacker.
Luv it but one thing we dont like is how when you try to force tame defense units or attack drones, they simply wont tame! Pls fix this.
Loved ark for a long time and this version is still amazing and great to play.
We played this game for over a day and we spent 100 hours on it. Its really freaking awesome ark ultimate mobile edition.
Sooo we really wanted to ultimate mobile edition and its SOOOOOO GOOD AND CRAZY we love itttt! 10/10 The graphics, the new worlds, the new dinos, ITS JUST PERFECT! 100/10.
This game is easily one of the best adventure games Ive ever played on mobile.5 stars.
We love this game and all the Dinos we can tame its really fun and brings a challenge.
10 out of 10 if we had to read it, it is super cool. It brings us back to where the dinosaurs were alive and we love dinosaurs.
This game is wonderful in so much ways. The moment when you wake up on one of the maps, things could either go well or wrong. What makes this game so good is that gives you lots to explore and venture! Sure, there could be alot of bugs that could ruin the game for you or certain events that could make you go crazy, but overall, theres probably no other game that would be good enough for us but ARK. We really hope they could add alot of new stuff. Like community made maps, mods, and probably so much more! We just want to thank you for giving us and everyone this amazing game that fits well for dinosaur enthusiasts.
We bought all the maps, but when we dont have data and enter the game, everything shows up as if we hadnt bought them. Only when we have data the maps work again. The good thing is that it only needs data when entering, and after that you dont need it. Please add the option for it to work without data if possible.
Te amo Ark eres mi pasin desde que supe que cada que va a mi primo jugar yo soaba con tenerlo.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED ON MY PHONE PEOPLE SAY MINECREAFT IS BETTER NO ITS NOTTTTTTTT.
Listen, we like the game. Its really good but oh our God all we want is just for the feed button to be a different button so like whenever you wanna do a passive team it is so annoying to be just about to finish taming but then you accidentally punch and get rid of all that taming and have the backup save feature load to the last point you saved we keep doing that we will get all our stuff lost in some cave and then Ill load the back up instead of loading at the last point we saved it a load like two saves ago and then it it is so annoying to have to grind to get up back all the stuff you lost because it doesnt work like how its supposed to and upon that for some reason whistles just dont work most of the time like you will multiple times whistle all your tames passive so they wont go everywhere whenever something happens but then they just wont listen and its really annoying. Please fix it.
Good game we have just one problem with mobile you have to pay for everything individually or buy a subscription and its pay to win so if we didnt like the console edition so much we would give this three stars instead.
We love this game, especially with a controller.
Ive been playing mobile ark for years we almost beat the game on mobile we accidentally deleted our save and crashed out please dont press that one button but otherwise its really good unless you play on android.
We played the older version and freaked out when this came out. One thing we would like though would be cheats in single player. Other then that it is a very good game.
Ark is a big success, but the new mobile version is getting hate and we dont like seeing it, thats why we have a suggestion, now that you guys are done with the maps we feel like you guys (Developers) should focus more on the gameplay and feedbacks people have on the game so you guys know what to fix on each update, that would be great, but if you guys (Developers) have another great suggestion that also follows with what Im saying, that would actually be fantastic! We hope this review really helped you guys.
Its like the best of ark on both sides, console and mobile, we super love it would recomendacin.
We like that game and all but can you please fix this bug in the hall of history theres instant death thing is almost everywhere in the hall of history we cant fight the overseer if that not fixed so please Wildcard fix this bug as soon as possible.
We love this game very much but we want the unofficial servers the official servers are trash.
Best game ever we had so much fun we had to try this its like the pc version and its super well done perfect.
Best survival game ever, Ive enjoyed playing Ark for years and still Im.
This has to be one of if not the best recreation of a console game in mobile, this game is amazing and we play frequently, we just have one issue, the only free map is the island map, now dont get us wrong. We are glad the developers gave us the island map for free, but we just really wish that all of the maps were free just like the island map is, that is the only thing we would change at least right now, but overall this game is incredible and we completely recommend it, and if the developers see this, then please make it so all of the maps are free, that would be the only thing we would change about the things you have to buy.
We really love ark it is an amazing game, but we have a suggestion for the second game, we have scorched Earth but what about an Ice age map with early scale cloth for warmth and a loge for early shelter instead of desert cloth and tents? :3.
This game is so good its exactly like a low version of asa and its perfect.
Day 1 find a dodo we punch it it goes to sleep we put berries its our pet now it turns night and its pitch black day two build a base to not get attacked at night day three slump kills us our dodo and destroys our base.
Everything is soo perfect in this game, we only think they should fix the glitch or whatever for painting dinos because when we try to paint our dino, it only make a sss sound but never opens the menu where you could actually paint your dino. We hope the devs see this message and fix the issue.
Ark is in our opinion the best game, and we like that its on mobile AND it even works offline. However it would be nice if you could also play the DLC maps you bought while offline. We have bought every DLC except for Genesis: Part 2 so far, we really like to play the dlc maps but only The Island map works offline. It would just be nice to be able to have access to what you bought while on a long car ride.
Its the best survival game, but it wouldnt be bad if you could invite your friends to play in your world.
Good game but we cant play with our friends on pc and ps5.
The carcha is a very good tame but it's far too difficult for a casual player, getting it's trust is easy but having to keep the bar of kills below 100 is very bad because it wastes the very precious time that's needed. We wanna fix this by having 2x tame events weekly where we get easier tames weekly which would help constant players a lot and would give a big reason for people to hop on weekly to make taming easier. Thanks for your time :).
