    Players overwhelmingly criticize the game's monetization for excessive, intrusive ads, especially those occurring mid-gameplay, which disrupt the experience and cause lost progress. Many report purchasing the no-ads option yet still encountering ads, often coupled with faulty transactions and poor customer support. While some accept ads as necessary, the frequent interruptions and forced online connection for ad delivery significantly detract from the game's enjoyment.

    • “So much that I wanted to buy no ads.”
    • “Purchased no ads.”
    • “Purchased starter pack with no ads.”
    • “Just ads and loading screen slop, it takes a million years to load and I get ads every level. I'm afraid to click an unfamiliar button since everything gives me an ad somehow. The oldest version is less buggy than the newest one, how?”
    • “Although it's fun, the ads are consistent and when you pay for it they don't give you your money. So over 5 bucks paid and still receiving ads. Secondly, I purchased the ads removal feature, but if you want to earn rewards, you still need to watch ads.”
    • “The amount of ads mid game is a problem but that's okay for me. The problem is while I am in the middle of a game it loads an ad which doesn't have a close option or sometimes a black screen and I have to close the game and lose progress.”

  • humor

    Players generally find the game's humor entertaining, noting its funny deaths, quirky characters, and morbid yet playful tone. However, some mention that the humor can become repetitive or overshadowed by frequent ads, and a few feel it could be more challenging to enhance the comedic experience. Overall, the game's witty and lighthearted style is well appreciated across all ages.

    • “10/10, just like the classic but more fun in every way possible, characters from the first and second game, certain minigames in each area, funny deaths and so much more.”
    • “It was a very exciting game filled with lots of funny deaths!”
    • “I love this so many dumb ways to die and the voice acting is very funny.”

  • music

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    54% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The game's music is widely praised for being catchy, nostalgic, and well-integrated with smooth, charming animations, often evoking strong childhood memories. However, some users find frustration with the music settings, noting that turning off in-game music and sound effects doesn't always work as expected. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a strong highlight that enhances the fun and appeal of the game.

    • “I remember playing the first game years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite games. The song was catchy, the animation was cute, etc. I even loved the second game. I came back years later and there’s a third and a fourth, and this one is really well made. The animation, while different, is still cute and more fluid and bouncy. The original song is back and more.”
    • “Best game and they put lyrics in the original song. Now I’m just in the menu hearing this banger.”
    • “I love this ❤️ and the music is amazing and sounds so nice!”
    • “This last time, it affected my device so that there was only an intro screen frozen with the music still playing.”
    • “First of all, if you turn off the in-game music and SFX, it just turns back on while playing; that's obnoxious.”
    • “Though, I noticed that when you get to the last speed up, the music resets to being low and normal pitched.”

  • gameplay

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for being fun, entertaining, and reminiscent of the original Dumb Ways to Die games, with engaging mini-games and polished mechanics. However, excessive and intrusive ads significantly disrupt the experience, often causing frustration and technical issues that detract from overall enjoyment.

    • “This is one of the best mobile games I have played in my entire life; the graphics are phenomenal, the gameplay is luminous, and the character designs are perfect.”
    • “I love how this is a super polished game and it feels the most like the original game in terms of gameplay and references.”
    • “Fun fourth edition to the Dumb Ways to Die series with a new mechanic where you build stuff with the money you earn from mini games!”
    • “However, excessive ads disrupt gameplay and the reliance on internet makes it inaccessible without connectivity.”
    • “Game mechanics worked... 60-80% of the time.”
    • “The ads get in the way of gameplay.”

  • stability

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 89% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent freezing, glitches in mini-games, and performance problems especially after extended play or when offline. Despite its fun gameplay and audio, these bugs and excessive ads severely impact the overall experience, making the game frustrating and sometimes unplayable.

    • “Great sequel with no glitches; the gameplay continues smoothly.”
    • “Unplayable at the moment, the screen freezes on a blank background and you can't progress.”
    • “It's a good game, but it randomly freezes sometimes and causes loss of points, for example, I had over 1000 points before it froze and I lost them.”
    • “When equipping dumbbells and playing minigames, the game freezes.”

  • graphics

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The graphics in the latest Dumb Ways to Die game are widely praised for their modern, improved art style that blends simplistic 3D with a 2D look, enhancing animation and visual appeal. Many users appreciate the nostalgic yet fresh design, calling it one of the best mobile game graphics they've seen, though some note minor issues like ads and tap responsiveness. Overall, the updated visuals significantly elevate the gameplay experience and are a major highlight of the game.

    • “I really enjoy the updated graphics and the new challenges in the latest version of Dumb Ways to Die—they make the game feel engaging and fun.”
    • “Throughout my childhood, I was playing Dumb Ways to Die, and I have to say DWTD 4 revokes that nostalgia with better graphics and a modern touch.”
    • “Simplistic 3D graphics made to look 2D is an improvement on the original style that supports better animation.”
    • “It's brilliant, fills me with nostalgia, but there are too many ads and it's a little delayed and not as graphic as it once was.”
    • “Good game, still lots of bugs like not registering taps, swipes, or holds. I like the art style but don't like that you made half the characters buyable and lots of ad spam messing me up in mini games.”
    • “The graphics are not as good as previous games; the visuals feel delayed and less detailed.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story in the game is generally well-received but considered somewhat limited, with players wanting more content and deeper narrative elements, especially in mini-games. There is also feedback about the lack of meaningful quests beyond daily tasks and a desire for less paywall-restricted characters. Overall, while the story is appreciated, expanding it and adding more engaging quests could enhance the experience.

    • “Also more content is nice, after you finish the base game there's not much to do besides daily quests and events. Maybe add a random collection mode or something, and I don't like that some characters are behind a paywall; make those just gems instead of forcing people to buy the pack for them.”
    • “Great game, great graphics, but what I would recommend is quests to get coins and characters. Overall, great game.”
    • “The game is great but not as great as the second game. It would be great if the minigames had more story to them.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's emotional impact shows potential but ultimately falls short, leaving some players feeling disappointed despite its wholesome intentions.

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game shows noticeable optimization issues, particularly with inconsistent tap registration and intrusive ads after every minigame. However, recent updates have addressed many of these concerns, improving performance and user satisfaction.

    • “Game is good, but still needs some optimization. Sometimes it requires quick taps and sometimes it doesn't recognize that I have held the screw. I understand it came out not even a month ago but I'd be glad to see improvements :). Edit: I saw some other reviews complaining about taps not registering. Besides the ads, if you fix this registration delay you'd make a lot of people happy. May 4 update: a lot of previous issues have been fixed, happy to see you listen to your fans :)”
    • “The game isn't optimized well; every time you finish or fail a minigame, it plays an ad.”

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users praise the game for its excellent character designs, highlighting them as a standout feature that contributes to an overall exceptional experience.
