  • Multiplayer still broken

    I want to play with my kids but multiplayer is partially broke. Selecting games close by works after update. Can’t play online because friend linking server is offline. Will rate 5 star when fixed. Game crashes randomly.
  • Maps?

    So I started playing it and, it is interesting concept. Robots waring each other for the crown but, there is a serious lack of maps, any story, or a deep connection to the battle other than the orders issued or the support you can give, which isn’t all that great other than a death beam to the enemy or weak mini-towers which only serve to annoy the enemy robot than actually do anything.

  • Great Idea, Players Needed.

    The AR functions work great and the controls are easy enough to use. Unfortunately, after several games I’ve noticed that almost every opponent is a bot. I’ve only played against 2 opponents that might have been players. I really hope this game takes off, I’d love to see some more heroes, maybe a few different maps, or game modes. It was a fun experience, but these bots are easily defeated, so it’s getting boring.

  • Stopped leveling up and no new heroes

    Im stuck at level 21 though ive collected enough points 10 times over to move up. But also, what does it get you? There are no new heroes to make the play more interesting. A couple more boards with a different plan would help.
  • I can't play!

    I downloaded the game yesterday, but until now I can't even play for a minute. Every time I am prompted to disconnect from the server, my mobile phone is iPhone X, I use the LTE network, and the Wi-Fi at home is 200MB. Fiber optic network, but always keeps prompting and disconnected from the network. The picture of this game is very good. I am very eager to play this game with my children, but I don't know what to do!

  • It’s a cool game with a flaw.

    I love this game! This game is really fun because it allowed people to play a fun game while being able to see reality that it’s in. The only problem is that the board moves around a lot and then I have to keep moving which getters really annoying after a while. I would really like this game to stabilize its game board so you can move around it and get a new perspective. A good example of this is stack AR, you can move around it all you want and it stays in place. I hope the developers see this message and fix this so I can have a better time playing this awesome game

    Hi! Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the late reply. We are always working hard to improve the user experience and appreciate your comment. Because of the nature of gameplay in our game, the phone is always moving and it is possible that the phone camera may lose tracking of the surface it was anchored to. If that happens, please reposition the camera towards the surface you originally anchored the game to. Avoid the natural instinct to run after the shifting map :). The board will lock into place after few seconds. If you would like to give us additional feedback you can write to us directly at support@directivegames.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

  • The game crashes a lot

    I start playing this game early. Based on leaderboard I am first in world now in single player (“HiBye”) (12 wins out of 14). It is too easy. I want to play multiplayer. But it start searching and nobody found. Just i play once which I win. There are not much players or there is a bug?
    This is really a cool game. But without PvP it is worthless and boring.
    And... when other heroes will be unlocked?
    Tnx

    Its now about a month from the release of the game and still no proper multiplayer match making
    I most wait a lot

    I wish i can refund my money on this game
    It is really worthless

    Even there is no guild
    The heroes wont unlock

    I am still the first in multiplayer in world
    But i am not satisfied with the game

    Thanks

    Its about two months from the start of the game
    The game can’t start a multiplayer.
    Sometimes the field loads, but the players are not there.
    Apple dissatisfied me with announcement of your junk game in its AR release.

    I wish i can refund my money
    But at least make the game work
    Please...

  • Good game, graphics need work

    This is a good game for iOS, but it needs some work. When I saw it at the Apple keynote, I immediately got it on my iPhone SE. The game is good, but I think that you should have the ability to move around the battlefield with your finger. Also, the graphics on other devices look pretty good, but on the iPhone SE it looks all fuzzy, blocky, and somewhat pixelated. If the developers could fix these two issues with the game, this would be a 5 star review.

  • (Updated) Multiplayer is working now...

    Original Review: Purchased this game to play locally with friends and family during the holiday’s. After going through all the tutorials and getting all devices set up to play, the multiplayer map will launch just fine. However, the bases and “hero’s” do not load and map just sits there. I tried waiting for it, but nothing ever loads. Very disappointed in a $5 game that Apple praised as “revolutionary”, and doesn’t work as advertised.

    ***Updated: After swapping to another WiFi connection the multiplayer began working very well. I have been able to play against family over the past few days, and enjoy the capabilities of the game. The developer did contact me and worked to resolve the issue which is appreciated. However, the first couple of WiFi connections and the cellular signal were not adequate to handle this game over the air. The game is very engaging and entertaining, and the local multiplayer really makes it a great game!

  • Awesome game, however...

    When I received a call mid-game my Baird moved! It started to float in space... pls fix. Otherwise great game.

    Update for developer: I declined the call when it came in. But I understand what your saying. Next time I'll try to keep the phone in the same spot and let you know what happens. Thx
