Excellent game, but...
This game is probably one of the best free board games out on the market. It’s got a good blend between luck and strategy, and is pretty fun to just sit down and play.
However, this game burns your phone like no tomorrow. Just playing a couple of games has my phone practically burning up, despite battery saver modes both in the phone and in the game (for reference, it’s an IPhone 7 and about a year old).
Another thing that would push this game into greatness would just be a new feature that changed up the entire game. Maybe a new win condition, or something else, or maybe a different game mode completely! Either way, just something new would be amazing.Show lessSTOP. JUST STOP.
Fantastic
I’ve played this game quite a bit now, and I love it. It’s balanced, well animated, and super fun! My only small suggestion would be to add a small amount of gems to the spoils of winning a match so playing enough will eventually result in the ability to buy a high level character without paying for it. I think the developers would like this since playing enough to get the gems would probably mean the player would like the game enough to want to spend money on it. Just a suggestion. Overall amazing game!
Edit:
I also recently had a problem with the war chest, and when I contacted the tech support team they released an update to solve the problem within the week. Amazing job!Show lessBlackops1125
Game needs fixs
This game needs a lot of work. I am not sure what is going on but i think its ridiculous your playing a online game and your give 15 secs to do your turn which gets difficult to do when you are lagging to put one card to be equipped yet i have seen people given 50 secs. It makes no sense. I had a turn were i just equipped something and my turn ended. Like really i havent done anything. To search a online game takes forever to find 1 person that people leave just to see if they get better luck in another lobby. There is also points where it looks like the game picks a favorite to have everything go well for them. To the point where one game he rolled his 9 dice and had no equipment but ended up having 8 attack dice and 8 defense dice. Or another time where he got like 14 attack because he kept getting one dice that would explode count as a attack dice and roll a free dice. Yea the chances for both must be amazing.Show lessApollo0712
Unbalanced
First, the game looks good and feels great but thats not something that makes a game good. The characters are a bit unbalanced, not in them selves but in there ability to achieve there own personal goals and victories. Personally i feel that the wolf and rabbit have a huge advantage, as the game becomes about getting the more prestige and not completing quests as weaker characters are usually killed before they can get to the objectives. Once you get the hang of it this does get easier.
Second, if you play single player the AIs mostly just go after you. Focusing most of their efforts and resources on making the match more challenging for you.
Its not a bad game but honestly needs an overhaul on balancing characters and objectives (ex/ its almost impossible to get rot victory you play a custom game, as it all have to do with chance)
Also get rid of the chance of getting a bane when searching a dungeon. Its way to
frequent. Also i noticed ( and tested) if your objective is next to a dungeon and you walk over it, 9/10 it will spawn a bane!!!!! Thats annoying.
I really love the turn based strategy style, however the game turns out to be more about chance than skill. If they could adjust some things this would be a five star game.Show lessBig Boss 2332
Pretty game, but poor support
The game is beautiful, though I think the strategy is not as deep as is implied.
Here’s the problem. After I finished the prologue, a screen popped up offering an introductory offer. The offer was 1200 shards and a hero for $2.99. The deal was described as “70% off”. I rarely pay for games, but this one seemed promising, so I bought it. What I got was a hero and 80 shards.
Could I have misread the ad? It’s possible. But there doesn't seem to be a way to bring up the ad to check. Also, since 1200 shards is regularly priced at $9.99, $2.99 checks out as 70% off. (The hero’s are bought with game currency, so the 70% off can’t be applied to the hero).
The company’s forums already had the exact same complaint from another user. One dev said, “That’s strange. Email me and we’ll fix it.” Then another dev said, “Actually the welcome offer is only 80 shards.” I asked for her to explain the discrepancies or at least post a pic of the ad, but got no response. I submitted a bug report and got no response. I emailed the dev and got no response.
The game is pretty good. The intro offer is either bugged or unacceptably misleading. The customer support is terrible.Show lessbartonarms
A good game plagued with problems
First off, this a good game, not great. Given that and without the problems I’d rate it 4 stars, which isn’t bad. However, I have had crashes in game and even loading to opening screen issues non-stop since I started playing it. I also cannot ever find enough players (only 4) to do a multi-player game in my time-zone (Japan), except once, which was dumped when I received a call from my father during startup of the match and waved him away after a minute or so. It is. Amazingly easy to win solo games when you learn how. The AI on solo is not random so much, but what AI is? While it should make the match more difficult, which it does I suppose in its own way, it also makes it more predictable. If you can learn to adapt and see which path leads to victory, you should win at least 4 of every 5 matches or even 9 of 10. I’d like to play a match now but it won’t atm. ~sigh~ Maybe 2 stars is too much, reading what I wrote. No. I still enjoy playing it. Maybe because it is so easy.Show lessLancey-pants
Worth fixing
This is a beautiful game with lots of options and subtleties to it. It’s worth playing and a nice, smooth experience with only a few touch based issues which taught me to be very careful with my gestures. Just zooming in and out can make you accidentally move to a wrong location. Other people have pointed it out and you need to keep this in mind as every choice is important in this game. My biggest reason for this not being 4 or even 5 stars is the Challenges. Completing these challenges should grant rewards that can be saved to unlock content but the third column doesn’t function at all. After spending hours working towards them it was extremely frustrating to not see them unlock. And these challenges aren’t unlocking huge amounts of in game currency so it is extra annoying when even that little bit is denied. Fix this problem and I’ll happily increase my rating. Even with this bug and the speed at which this game drains my battery I still feel it is worth at least 3 stars.Show lessPenarchon
Developer Response
Heya, sorry to hear about your challenges screen misbehaving. If you get in touch with qa@leagueofgeeks.com with some account details and screenshots, we're happy to reunite you with any lost currency!! -JonGreat... but needs work. Buggy.
Love this game. Played for months on Steam - at level 78 currently. So I was really excited for Armelllo on iOS so I could play on my iPad Pro (10.5) when out and about. The current state of this game on iOS certainly needs work. It is buggy and there are constant issues. The prologue won’t even start for me, if you leave the multi player search screen and go back it will kick you out of the que. If you are playing a multiplayer game and a notification or call comes in and you switch to it to deal with it quickly once you go back to the game it will lose network connectivity and kick you out of the game. Along with other minor glitches. If you can deal with some annoyances I can recommend this game whole heartily. If not wait for some fixes.Show lessMishuno
Great game but lots of bugs
I really really enjoy this game. I play it with my friends and I’ve read the novellas and I just have a lot of fun with it in general. There are just so many bugs though which is really annoying and cheats me out of rewards.
The main one I’m experiencing is not being able to do ANY achievements. It says I’ve done ones I haven’t and I can’t access rings or anything on some characters. I won’t even allow me to complete the achievements and claim any rewards which is troubling to me since I’m trying to get a couple characters. Other bugs I’ve experience is playing a multiplayer game and having it freeze, although still allowing the players to use the chat. The game also crashes when I don’t have access to WiFi. I can’t even open the app without it crashing, even though single player does not require WiFi.Show lessSmartcookie12345
Brilliant
Brilliant port with stunning visuals (especially on iPad Pro) and deep but accessible gameplay. A game usually lasts 30 minutes to an hour, feels urgent but not rushed. Takes strategy & practice, planning moves and card-plays ahead feels chess-like, while battles and perils are dice based and can be unpredictable & risky (the underdog sometimes wins the battle) Some people complain about watching NPCs (guards and banes) taking their turns, but there is an option to speed up that process if you’re in a hurry. Immersive visuals and fairly balanced gameplay. Playing with each faction feels totally different, but none is OP. The only urge that there is to purchase content within the game comes from wanting to play again and again with new personalities & added depth, and to reward the brilliant developers behind this unique game, not because there is any pay-to-win slant or nagging from the app. Truly generous to have all this content for free on the iPad ... this base game is $20 on PC and worth every penny.Show less3L Law Student
