Overall, the game's optimization is praised for its performance on PC, running smoothly even at high render distances, but it struggles significantly on lower-end mobile devices, particularly the Samsung Galaxy S5, where users report frequent crashes and lag. While it performs well on newer models like the S4 and S6, the experience on older or less powerful phones is disappointing, leading to frustration among players.
“In terms of performance, it runs very well.”
“I even overmaxed the render distance to 512 blocks vs the in-game 256 limit to test, and it runs surprisingly well (15-25 fps in 1440p at that distance is a testament to just how well optimized the engine is), though I usually go with 256 for better fps.”
“This game has been optimized for even the lowest-end devices and runs like melted butter on PC.”
“It will crash on the simplest task even with the performance options set for slower devices (Galaxy S5 is not slow). Please fix this and I will rate this app what it deserves.”
“This game has gotten crappy with graphics and performance. Worst $5 ever. The main problem is the platform... I could maybe see this taking off as a PC game but horrible on phone.”
“Every two steps it stuttered and lagged badly. So bad I can't even play anymore. I adjusted all the performance settings to low and the problem persisted.”
