This game SUCKS, For a large number of reasons her are some of them. One, The controls suck, If you even can use them. Two, The game does not tell you what anything is or how to do it. Three, If you are able to play the game you'll never get far as you have to pay to play the other levels. In total this is a terrible game and you should NEVER, And I mean NEVER use your money on this game.

Disappointed. I played this game for hundreds of hours on xbox. Was so excited to see it on mobile, but I'm glad I decided to try the death row one before purchasing.. again but on mobile.. it won't let me open the interaction menu. At first I thought it may be my phone but I flipped the screen which puts it same spot at menu and still can't open. Bummed ou, but at least I saved a few bucks.

A lot of people in the reviews are complaining about the hotboxes not working properly, but it literally says in the description that the game is meant for tablets only, and when you start the game on phone is gives you a warning that the game doesn't support your aspect ratio and maybe behave unexpectedly. that would explain the issue to the majority of the reviewers, since they list their device as a phone and complain about the issue.

I have played it on the iPad and it was awesome I just bought it on the android tablet and I'm so disappointed the buttons do not align the display scaling is off and there is a white bar at the top of the display I can't get rid of... I Really hope it gets fixed soon but I don't think it will since the last update was a year ago. Will change the rating if it gets fixed please please please please fix i really like this game.

Even though i have purchased architect mode for £4.99, it has deleted itself and even though my saved prisons are still available however Ivan unable to save anymore. The game states i haven't bought architect mode even though i bought it weeks ago without problem until now.

The game is a trial which I don't mind but the amount of stuff you get in the game is terrible. You should of built this off the xbox360 trial version where you have a plot with infinite prisoners and no limit to game days. The fact that you are severely limited is terrible. I have also seen some reviews saying that hitboxes on buttons do not work. That's mainly the fault of the phones as this was designed for tablets. Also the game is very poorly optimised even a low end tablet can barely runit

About this app

Escape from reality but not from your custom-made jail! Prison Architect: Mobile challenges you to build and manage a maximum security prison, from laying out cell blocks and inmate facilities, to managing staff pay and prisoner morale. From layout to execution (literally, in some cases), you are the architect, the warden, and the enforcer.

Prison designs will include basic necessities like cells, canteens, guard rooms, and infrastructure, but players can also include features like solitary confinement, workout areas, and even an execution chamber. The tablet version comes with enough to get started, with additional story-driven campaign chapters and more features available as premium content.

Prison Architect: Mobile includes:
- Build and manage a prison to house a variety of different prisoners
- Juggle inmate needs with security concerns, infrastructure, and the ever-looming budget
- Follow the story in Campaign Mode to learn new prison-building techniques and get to know life behind bars through a series of cutscenes and objectives
- Unlock more Campaign chapters with one-time purchases
- Violent Offenders: Manage different types of criminals and keep control through floods, fires, fights, and full-blown riots

Introversion Software, developers of critically acclaimed games, bring you a new mobile version of their award-winning PC hit. Together with the master strategists at Paradox Interactive, Introversions Prison Architect: Mobile will provide you with enough challenging fun to last an entire life sentence!
