Shows promise but still a weak beta
Far too many bugs for real release, dealing with problems with the UI and general playability takes you right out of the game. The ability to see what your opponent has done on any given turn is there, but maddeningly difficult to discern. Probably wasn't a problem for the developers who were intimate with every card, but for a newbie learning this game it is painful. Can't recommend this version hopefully the developers can spend some time watching absolutely new players try to use their software.Show lessC0MPASS
How can I play w/ friends?
How could this not be supported? Look at Exploding Kittens. SmashUp NEEDS offline multiplayer support and online multiplayer support w/ friends. I assumed I’d be able to play with my kids. Very disappointed at the backward mentality of their online “service” that tries to remake the wheel instead of modernizing the entire experience. Why can’t we use Game Center to connect with friends? Why do I need yet another online account to play ur game?Show lessDHirschfelt
Bad User Interface
When I play the Ascension app, I can see all the cards in my hand and read them Wonderful interface.
Unfortunately the same can not be said here. With all the screen interface they had to use, I don't understand why the cards are stuffed on top of each other at the bottom of the screen. You don't know what a card does without selecting it. This drastically slows the game down.
They didn't have to invent an interface, they just had to look at how other games do it and do it well.
I really hope this gets fixed. This is a solid game but the current interface will turn off new players.Show lessJorune2112
Been Waiting For This
Obviously I love this game but the app has problems:
Bugs! For example, People played all sorts of cards affecting my Brownie and were never punished for it.
Team ups! The AI seems to be hell bent on destroying *me* even though I’m already in last place. Doesn’t make sense, and not fun. AI needs to be improved to calculate who’s winning, etc, not just beat down the real player at any cost.
Interface! It’s hard to tell what other people play, so then you crack open the history box, and good luck if you’re not intimately familiar with the game.... I’m afraid this is where the death blow is to this app. Your opponent’s turns are just a big mystery and you’re left scratching your head wondering why you’re losing so bad. Makes the game not fun at all, newer players will not persist with this. When you play the real game, players announce and even explain their moves to everyone (often with a touch of pride) and that was a big part of the magic of the game, and it just doesn’t translate AT ALL to the app.
Hopefully they can figure something out to improve it?Show lessToddDO
FINALLY!!...but...
So excited for this to come to mobile, but it’s missing a key feature! Choosing who you play in multiplayer NEEDS to be there! We need to be able to create a private lobby for online play and invite our friends. Whether it be through unique codes specific to each lobby or being able to add friends on the game in order to invite them. Unfortunately, I’ll have to prevent my friends from downloading this game until that feature exists since it’s the one thing we were all the most excited about. Despite all that, the game plays well.
Please make “private lobbies” available, I believe in all you AEG guys!Show lessSpiderBrac
Smash up!
I was happy to see this game in the App Store, but hesitated to buy it based on the bad reviews about the UI design. I’ve got to say that this wasn’t an issue for me at all. I love the game, and it is easy to navigate it. Actually, it is much easier to set this up than the physical game, which is what usually keeps me from enjoying it often. The digital version is great, and I am definitely looking forward to playing it a lot.Show lessAztec crow
Changes need to be made
The interface needs an overhaul. Expanding your hand so all cards can be both seen and easily picked would be nice. Easily seeing what's on a base would be nice too. Finally, I think an undo button would be a great addition (disabled when a card would be drawn, etc).
FIXED: While it's not necessary, I would want to disable the ability for users/ai to choose the same faction.
Oh and to reviewers who are saying how great it is and the rest of us are whiners, we aren't saying it's completely unplayable. We're saying we want it to be more easily played so it's not as frustrating to play...it's supposed to be fun, remember?Show lessfrediccini

Fun But Difficult
I like the Smash Up card game, and am thrilled to be able to play it online. However, the game crashes frequently causing me to have to reboot my iPad to play again. Also, the interface for choosing the cards is super hard to use. I often select the wrong card, and there's no undo to fix it.Greygarou
Good not great
I love Smash Up. The app is ok, but the UI is pretty annoying and difficult to use. It's hard to select cards, and you have to hold down each card in order to read it. Looking forward to improvements.
Edit: Thank you for fixing the black screen glitch! +1 star :)Boberino0000
