Dead Space Mobile (iOS) Review - Terror On The Go
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 чер 2024
- Dead Space graced mobile devices on the same day as Dead Space 2's launch, setting the scene for the outbreak aboard the Sprawl.
Playing as a new inductee to the church of Unitlology; Vandal sets off to undo the damage she caused to try and prevent a major catastrophe.
Bringing a console level experience to mobile devices is a monumental task especially back in 2011 but IronMonkey Studios somehow achieved it, Dead Space Mobile brings everything from its console entries and translates it effortlessly to touch screen creating an experience you don't want to miss out on.
In this review I explain why this entry succeeds and why it's a must play for any Dead Space fan.
If you enjoyed the review put a like on it and consider subscribing for more Dead Space content.
I try to respond to everyone on my channel so let me know your thoughts on the game and we can discuss it
Up next I'll be reviewing my favourite entry in the series Dead Space 2, I look forward to seeing you back here soon.

I found the APK for Dead Space Mobile here:
apkaward.com/dead-space-hd
Did you play/download "HD APK" or "HD Mode"?
Honestly can't remember sorry!!! Think it was the bottom link?
I think those are just viruses.
@@name-td4ne it's the middle link that's what worked for me 👌
Thanks it works now.
Shockingly good for its time. A great game that actually felt like you were playing the real one on your phone.
💯
Yea bro I dare anybody to tell the difference between the graphics side by side, this “measly” mobile game or dead space remake for PS5
Imagine they make a remake of this but on pc or perhaps console
@@Exa00 it'd be nice to have this as a DLC for the remake
@@Rickle_Pick23 you blind or trolling?
It feels criminal to let this game fade away into obscurity. It clearly had a lot of love and effort put into it, and it really added on to the lore.
At the very minimum, EA should port it to Steam.
Agreed, Iron Monkey went over and above on this game and its such a shame to see it like this 😞
Or bring it back to the play store and apple
Meanwhile, some white hats ported it to psvita.
It would be great if this was DLC for the Dead Space 2 Remake. It tells a solid story and has cool areas and characters. I'd love to see Dead Space: Extraction Remade as well. Just so we can get Severed Remade!
i played through this whole game on my iPhone when I was a kid. loved it. honestly surprisingly good
Wish I had played it years ago, such a great game
@@SSJdavey Indeed it was, i remember when i maxed everything out and had certain assault rifle weapon that had infinite ammo and the funny part is that i got it by grinding the final boss that was like the hivemind but easier for obvious reasons, this had a small area and there was some sort of small doll thing that sold for like 10K or more and i was on loop grinding until i finally bought it, tbh great game.
Same, I remember play NOVA, modern combat and dead space on my mom’s iphone when i was a kid
The did port a similarie game to dead space mobile alien isolation
Not only is it a good dead space game, it's one of the best games I've played on mobile to date. Incredible. Shame how far iron monkeys has fallen due to EA's corruption. Imagine if we kept getting mobile games of this caliber ever since dead space mobile.
Devs now have the capability of making full fledged games on mobiles and this game is a perfect example.. but because of microtransactions all mobiles games don't care about single players games likes this instead they're all online and multiplayer that'll keep people playing their games
There is a mobile version of Mass Effect bro called "Mass Effect: Infiltrator" which is also awesome. 👍💯
@@diegobv8309 I used to love the Modern Combat games but they became a bad call of duty type after the 3rd one
@@brandonhicks9926 I think MC4 was amazing. It all fell off with the fifth part
If they were selling well we would have gotten more. But they didn't sell well and many of them aren't officially available because of that.
It's surreal to have played this when it came out, and now you can play the entire Dead Space trilogy on a Steam Deck
Wild!
The dead space duo and dead space: resident evil 6
You can play the entire Dead Space trilogy right on Android now
@@-pROvAK how
This was such a good game. If only it would be re-released on Steam.
Its unlike EA to leave money on the table, maybe one day they'll remake it or something?
I hope so too, this game is too good to be in gaming limbo. It’s worthy of a $5-$10 release on steam with optimizations and even remastered elements if they wanna go that route.
some madlads have actually ported this game to the PS Vita, it plays excellent but sadly it's plagued by multiple audio cut-offs
@@SSJdavey Bro isn't Dead Space already being remade?
@@SSJdavey nah, they will release it again on the phones and add lootboxes. That's all they are good for
If you beat dead space mobile and linked your ea accounts, when you played dead space 2, you received some in game bonuses. There was some credits, a circuit and a letter from vandal. It was around the second level when you were exploring the apartments. The part where you could explore with zero g.
As a huge Dead Space fan im sooooo happy your covering Dead Space Mobile in depth im pretty sure ive left a comment in every Dead Space review ive ever seen asking for a review of this absolute mobile masterpiece I played it at launch and it blew my mind especially since ive been a fan of the series since launch. Good on you my dude 👏
It blew my mind now, at launch it must have been insane!
bro what phone did you have to be able to run it in 2011 tho XD
@@liamhop6148I had in 2012 an HTC ChaCha. Not the greatest experience by any means, sometimes it would slow down or see stutters, no wonder that it wasn’t available on the Android Market on that particular device, but overall it ran pretty smoothly.
We should get a remake of this game for modern gaming platforms.
I agree. Dead Space 2 doesn't need a remake like everyone says. As the original game still holds up in terms of gameplay and graphics.
Well dead space 3 needs a remake more than anything in the franchise.
If EA have the shits to do it. From what I know, they are really bad...
Agreed coz many ppl don't
know this game even some of the fans or newly fans
@@zeliph I think Dead Space 2 could be REMASTERED, maybe not remade, but tweaked, fixed and made to look better. If this were to be included as a DLC or additional content that tied in with a remastered DS2, it would need to be remade from the ground up using DS2 resources. Almost like a mod of sorts.
I remember I played this on my iPod. I don’t know why but I feel that mobile games back then we’re way more fun. This game was truly amazing for mobile
Just like BO1 Zombies
Damn. I trued getting this to work in an android desktop instance and had an awful time. Is your phone jailbroken, or can you install apks on stock firmware?
I can install APKs on my phone no problem, its not jailbroken or anything. The joys of an android I guess?
Another awesome mobile game was Aliens Vs Predator. It had a good length to the story. It had a lot of customisation options. Sandbox mode. Stealth sections etc. It was awesome.
I adored AVP 1&2 on pc back in the day (some of the only games on pc I've ever played) I'll have a look into the mobile game 👌
I played Predators back in high school. It was a birds-eye view kind of thing, I believe there was a bit more effort put into that one, over Aliens vs Predator: Evolution. You should check it out, it should still be available.
Crazy how vividly I remember this game. Played this before I got my hands on any other version of dead space
Oh man, this game gave life to my iPod back in the day and my goodness it was a good companion piece to the 2nd game. Well crafted and even has its character referenced with the very audio log recorded at the beginning, amazing!
This was the FIRST app I ever purchased on the App Store in 2012, and you just brought me down memory lane
My pleasure 👍
You have to remember that this game came out in like 2010 - the same time when Angry Birds, Temple Run and Infinity Blade were completely changing the mobile landscape. The developments you're naming about mobile gaming really took off much later on, even though there are still some excellent mobile titles
UA-cam just recommended this video, and I must say there are not a lot of DS Mobile videos out there. So thank you for your wonderful work of spreading the knowledge of a wonderful relic of a bygone era.
DS Mobile is actually my first Dead Space game, maybe even my first horror game, after I got my first gaming capable smartphone. I was scared to death in my first play through, but this game is so good that I ended up 100% it. I still clearly remember getting achievements in game will unlock new wallpapers, and the last one is a promotional cover art for Dead Space 2 only unlocked upon completing all achievements.
Even though the number of Necromorphs is smaller, the rooms are also smaller and there are more frequent lockdowns, so the Necromorph density is actually quite high. Not to mention the quality and amount of mind tricks from the influence of the Marker. There might be more mind tricks in this mobile game than in any main line Dead Space game. And the plasma saw is a really well designed tool-weapon that fits perfectly into the lore of Dead Space and also touch control.
Now I am working on Impossible difficulty play through of Dead Space Remake, to think it all begins with one day I decide to take a look at a mobile game that is often forgotten by many Dead Space fans.
Great review on a game I had no idea existed. It looks surprisingly good for its time. Reminded me of the old days. One of my first ever mobile games on my IPad touch 2 was Army of darkness defense. Still one of my favorites. Thy removed it from all stores a few years ago but I still have it on android by transferring apps phone to phone. I'm happy you're finally reviewing Dead Space 2 afyer teasing me for so long lol. I absolutely love that game and beat it just a few months back.
This is the first video of you that I watch and I love it!. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for checking me out 🍻
To this day still playing it and even making content out of it. The gameplay, the scares, the tension, and the visuals is what makes this for me one of the best sci-fi horror experiences on mobile.
I did lets play videos on this game back in 2020 here, then I revisited it a year later on Twitch when I started streaming and I was still on my phone. Great game, I also love that even though collectables aren't a thing in the game PENG can be found and collected at the end of the game.
Oh my that's a nice review ;) Just downloaded this to my iPad 2, it's amazing
Enjoy the game! 👌
Thank you for this great review! Recently talked with my friends about this hidden gem and i was really baffled that basically noone talks about this Dead Space. But its really not that easy to get to know about the game & play it nowadays as it was back then.
Oh WOW, I totally played this, and completely forgot about it. Thanks for helping me relive some memories.
So glad you reviewed this! I remember playing this when it was decently fresh around 2012/2013 or whatnot and it blew me away! The story was good and this was when mobile games actually tried to be real games! Mass Effect Infiltrator was another good game put out by EA at the time on mobile. And actually my favorite version of battleship was the mobile game at the time too!
One of my big gaming blackholes is mass effect...I still havnt played one 💀
I forgot this existed. Thank you!
I remember playing this back in...middle school? Freshman year of Highschool? I was thinking about it recently after playing the remake. Your video could not be better timed
Wow, I remember playing through this game over and over again!
Must be a cool throwback, wish I had experienced it all those years ago!
Mannn i played this on my ipod back in the day this brings me back
This and mass effect infiltrator are two rare gems as far as mobile games go
Still to this day I havnt played a mass effect game, that's my new years resolution 😅
Man i remmember this game, first dead space game and loved it
Used to play this game on the bus on my way to school back in the day. It’s what first exposed me to DS, and it’s still awesome to this day I see
I played this game on my dads iPad when I was younger, absolute childhood treasure
I remember playing this back in 2012 on my Samsung Galaxy Y, which I had rooted, to make it run. It was a great time. I recently found that the community ported the Android version, originally made for the Xperia Play, to the PS Vita. Now I'm enjoying the game even more with physical controls. It's a gem to be sure!
I've got to get this on my vita, I'm not the most technical so modding up the vita is something I havnt considered...might be time to change that
@@SSJdavey It's worth it for the ammount of stuff you can do with it. I'm also not the most tech savvy person, when it comes to things like this, however there are guides online that explain everything step-by-step. I followed one of them and managed to mod my system by myself just fine. It's not hard but it takes a bit of time, so you'll need to be patient.
Oh man I remember playing this on my old iPod Touch 1st Gen way back in the day. I remember at one point they released a Horde/Survival mode that you could only play on 3rd Gen iPhones and iPods 😭
A remaster of this game on newer phones would be incredible
I loved playing dead space mobile 📱 its so fun and interesting to play because of the story. I liked the parts when tiedmann was helping vandal. Showed that he cared about the innocent people on the sprawl, he's a good guy
I'm writing my DS2 script right now and making a case on why tideman is actually a goodie 👌
@@SSJdavey yes please do. He went against protocols to save people and kinda prevented a half brethren moon from forming, big up tiedmann
Oh man, I remember playing this on my Ipod Touch as a young teen. It scared me to death, but I loved it a ton. It was my first Dead Space game, though I had watched playthroughs of Dead Space and Dead Space 2 at the time. I remember there was this glitch I encountered in the mobile game where the game kept duplicating my node count for some reason, and I was able to max out all my gear and equipment really early on in the game thanks to that. Thanks for linking the APK for it, gonna relive some memories. And after, think I'm gonna start a fresh run of Dead Space 2.
I loved the fact it had a round base mode I used to play it non stop during school, really wished they kept that in with the later entries like DS3 or the Remake so you of kept playing even after you got all the achievements, but the Remake is incredible so it makes up for it.
That Phoenix Nights was a blast for the past. Brilliant
Played the game on my dads iPad and gawd damn. Love that twist at the end
I loved this game so much. For it being a mobile port. It was crazy to think it was possible. I had this apk on my Samsung s3. It was wild playing a whole dead space game on the go.
This game and the call of duty zombies game were the unspoken GOATS of mobile gaming. And they were YEARS ahead of their time
I never played the COD zombies mobile, worth a look then?
Loved this game on my IPhone 4s. The phone and game were new during my freshman year. So much fun 👌🏻
i loved this in high school man, this era of iOS games was next level
This video unlocked a memory I didn't even know I had.
I still have this game on my iPod from years ago. I just put it to charge and I'm going to give it another go.
10/10 would recommend
i used to play this on my ipod on the bus at school every day, it was really good
Thanks for the memorys
Remember playing through this game twice on my iPhone 3GS
I remember playing this while staying the night at my late great grandmothers house. I remember I was young and felt so accomplished after beating it and wished it was longer.
Thank you soo much for the link. I reinstalled it and play it :D
Watching a friend at school play this game is actually what got me into this franchise. I fell in love with this world because of this entry
This was probably my favorite mobile game ever made at the time. There is one version of it that was released with controller support but it's almost impossible to find these days.
Mobile Games in this era is just something else. It was the time where developer considered Mobile it as a next cross console/mobile handheld.
Very true, it was hailed at the time as the next step for gaming. Thankfully that didn't happen! I was terrified it might happen though and console gaming would fade away 😅
I completely forgot this was a game. And being a huge dead space fan, I must play it now. Time to dig up my ipod touch from 2009.
It's one of my favourite mobile games ever thank you for covering it!! I also want to add that there's a ps vita port of it that runs BEAUTIFULLY and lets you experience it with controller-esque controls!
I love my vita I need to get on this asap
Dude, I used to have this on my iPod. It basically felt like a PS2 version of Dead Space. The controls where solid, simple, and the game was genuinely fun; it didn't felt like a cheap port, but like an actual Dead Space game well fitted for mobile
It goes to show what happens when a studio really tries to bring a franchise to a new platform. They did such a good job 👏
wow, the gameplay still look great even today
The Xperia Play version of this fully supported dual analogue controller and buttons, complete with tutorials showing proper button labels. Though I still have it installed on my ancient phone, I've never seen this version anywhere else.
Oh that's awesome! I never knew that
Way ahead of its time. One of few mobile game that is actually great. I played it on all my ios devices at the time. Playing it on a larger ipad is almost as good as on console and tv, minus the graphics of cuz. Great review.
This game was my first dead space experience and i loved it! Haven't played dead space since and would like to try this out again along with the new remake.
The remake is so good! Well worth your time
what an incredible achievement in mobile gaming. I played the SHIT out of this back in 2011-2012 when I didn't have a console or PC to play the mainline games on, and even after I'd played through dead space 1 and 2 entirely, I was still impressed by Vandal's story and the gameplay of DS mobile.
also, I'm absolutely loving the dead space revival going on right now!
Its about time too! Been waiting so long since DS3 essentially killed the franchise 😅
@@SSJdavey seriously!! after their work on the remake, I think Motive might be able to revive the franchise, even if they just remake the original three games. DS3 was done so dirty.
This is when mobile gaming and games in general were treated with respect.
Now they are all cash grabs 😢
I used to play this so much during my freshman year in highschool, I always loved this game and the reveal (to me at the time) that Randal was a female was crazy to me.
I loved this game back in the day
Ah, this is what the Dead Space game I had a vague memory of. I thought it was a PS2 version but I could never find one.
Mystery solved!
Easily one of my favorite mobile games. I hate mobile games but Dead Space Mobile was truly a console feeling game on your smart device. If you’re a DS fan try to play this game on something you have. It’ll be worth your time.
Well said 👏
I loved this game, I was so excited. It was $7 when it came out and played it like crazy on an ipod touch 4
My dad still has an iPad gen 4, I think,that has a copy of this game that is just sitting in there. I remember playing this and being absolutely terrified when I was younger
ive played this game back in the day...and its amazing
This was actually my first Dead Space experience
honestly love the vibe the text, graphics everything just reminds me of a ps2 game
Yeah now you mention it I can see it 😍
I never forgot this game, but only now I remember how the church tricks you and all of that A-grade set-up.
This was the best mobile game I played, hands down. Awesome way to start a game. Awesome.
I'm going to try and put this onto my hacked Nintendo Switch.
New sub here. I love the content and love you've got for horro games. Thank you so much for the review and link to download this. I can finally play it. I never got a chance back in the day. I look forward to see more thoughts on the DS franchise from ya. Peace ✌️
Dead Space 2 will hopefully be out next week so you shouldn't have too long to wait 🤞
Thanks for the sub, glad you enjoyed the review ✌️
This game was so much fun for what it is, and a strongly underrated piece of Dead Space media that would benefit greatly for a remake.
It'd be *insane* what they could do with the hallucinations that Vandal endures throughout the game.
Its impressive what they managed to do on a phone version, as you said it would be nuts seeing the markers influence on vandal on current gen hardware! Couldn't agree more
Just finished my play through of the remake after doing all 3 and I never knew this existed, glad I have another dead space to play
This and Gun Bros will be my two most favourite Mobile games of all time, both of which are so opposite in both design and business model but are still all-time classics.
Really miss the time when quality mobile games where all over the market. Sure, most of their business models relied on the, at the time new and revolutionary "freemium gaming' model but even those were better than 90% of what's offered nowadays. And the lenght studios went to flashing out paid games was just "chef kiss"...man, I miss this era so much.
Damn, I remember that game from like, 10 years ago... I've never played any game of the Dead Space series except this one, and as a kid I found this one to be absolutely terrifying at time, yet I couldn't stop playing it, went through a few playthroughs back in the day...
This is the kind of mobile game that shows the medium can be great, something else than Candy Crush etc
This and HAWX mobile (from ubisoft) are really cool games from the initial android era, both feel like "Lite" or decent ports from known IPs to the mobile sistems
I missed this game, and have been looking for so long.
I linked the place I found the apk in the comments 👌
Playing this and bioshock on mobile was absolutely out mobile was absolutely outstanding
Nifty, I always wanted to play it but I got into dead space like 3 years after it was removed, I actually watch both movies without even knowing there was a game back when they came out.
No way! Thats wild
@@SSJdavey yea the dead space movies and the resident evil movies were scary af back then gave me nightmares not gonna lie prob shouldn't have watched them
This was the only Dead Space game I've played(when I was 12 on the ipod) Excited to actually play it now with the remake
After playing remake it might give you the drive to play the others, 2 in particular is exceptional 👌
@@SSJdavey I can only hope haha
There's honestly lots of games on mobile that are close to being considered as "lost media". Anyways good video, you should do a video on Infinity Blade.
I might be wrong.
But I've heard here and there around DS community, that there's an fan-made remastered version of this game (supposedly to be compatible with newer devices). Might look around later to see if it even exists. Especially since my first time playing this game was on a bad phone where audio was completely broken and during some quarantines it'd lag and sometimes even crash.
Good times.
This game was so fun I didn't know it existed either holy crap
God I remember playing the dead space and mass effect mobile game all the time. Them plus infinity blade was the peak for mobile games.
This was the first dead space I played. Ngl loved it a lot.
Definitely a good experience on mobile. I remember wanting to download the music.
I remember playing this game on my xperia play, my phone felt like my phone was a proper portable gaming console with how quality this game is!
I play on original iPad and they are no texture bug
I'm still, even to this day mad about the fact that I never was able to finish this game when I played it on my IPod. The day EA removed the game from the store, was the day the game became unplayable & I was at the last chapter of the game. It was actually a well made mobile game, that had pretty good scares & made me remember why I loved the first 2 Dead Space games so much. I'm not sure if there is any other way to play this mobile game. but it still sucks that I was never able to finish it, when I was near the end of the game.
That does suck 😭
There's a few ways to play it today, I've pinned the site I found mine but there's a few places that have it 👌
That ERA of mobile gaming was the best, N.O.V.A, Modern Combat, Dead Space, when games were made for pure enjoyement and not micro transactions
Have this on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (The Playstation Phone), having physical controls makes this a lot easier. It's a really solid experience on there.
It truly did peak only a few years after the app store came out. I still have good memories of playing Dead Space and Mass Effect on my iPod Touch. Other notables are Infinity Blade and a lot of Gameloft rip offs that were actually decent games that pushed mobile gaming forward and had more content than most mobile games today. At one point they even had the full Bioshock on iOS. The most disappointing thing is that modern smartphones can play PS3 - PS4 level games but no one makes the effort. I know some people really hate games like Genshin Impact, but they at least are willing to release a game that actually utilizes modern hardware.
I played this game as a kid back in 2012/13 i don't remember ethe exact plot but i remember the amazing gameplay.
played this and cod zombies all the time on my ipod...definitely peak
I wish they found a way to get these games optimized for future tech. I feel like one of the few people who beat Bioshock when it was on iOS and tbh it worked really well on an iPhone 5. I miss it
Bioshock came to phones!? I missed out on that!
@@SSJdavey yeah back in like 2014, but they removed it the following year
I played this on the iphone years ago and it was a great game for mobile!
