70%??
I’m glad they insist the luck isn’t dominant. When I finally win one game using the exact moves they suggest for me, then I’ll believe their claim that you should beat the first abductor ~70% of the time. LolFineRedMist

OK. Don't believe me. I can win against the first 3 bad guys about 80% of the time - and lots of other players can too. Why not visit boardgamegeek for some tips or to chat about it.Too many bugs
Tried to play 4 games, each ended a game breaking bug. It would be fun if it was playable.cube2the3rd

Please report any bugs that you find to my email address. I am not aware of any serious bugs in the app nor have any been reported by numerous beta-testers.Fun and Challenging
Enjoying the app while waiting for the physical game to be shipped.YGlen
Love it. Difficult. Great adaptation of the board game.
I have always loved the board game Hostage Negotiator and have purchased all of the content for my game table. I feel this app has captured the game extremely well and I love playing.Stompy15056
Bad use of visuals
You know, when you have one zoom feature, that’s good. When it uses less than a third of the screen, that’s bad.
When you have TWO zoom features, you are already saying that your first zoom was just rubbish. And when the second still uses less than half, you are just nuts.
Overall, a very bad use of screen real estate makes this feel like there was no attention at all to visual design.Show lessKoala404
Good start, looking forward to improvements
I have the physical game with all expansions. This is a great way to enjoy the game "on the fly" during my commute, waiting for meetings, etc...
Like most all new apps, it needs a little polish.
The recent update (hopefully) fixed the irritating issue found in other games with 3D dice rolling - they roll around forever and often get "stuck" on an edge. It would be great if in the settings you could just turn off 3D dice.
I would rate the app a full star higher if it weren't for the microscopic (and incomplete) card titles. I realize it's not possible to show card text at the app's resolution and that holding on a card magnifies it however, if you can't read the name of the card in the first place (the names are literally incomplete) then you wind up having to press and hold each and every card, each and every time.Show lessRobrob2
Darkly themed fun
The game is very frustrating, to be sure, but very compelling and original. An interesting strongly themed dice rolling card game with light deck building. I really appreciate how the game's handy advisor doesn't simply suggest moves but fully explains its reasoning in most cases.Lord Gek
It's okay
The game itself is pretty good, but it's luck heavy dependent on dice rolls.
The app looks a little dated. When you roll the dice, the dice move really slow. Also, if the dice roll onto a corner, it's automatically considered a failed roll. They should be rerolled because it pushes the already bleak odds further away.
Animation of the cards could be improved, but more importantly, there should be an option to either turn them off or dramatically increase their speed.Show lessDaSi14

Dice moving into a corner is NOT considerred a failed roll.One of the best games in cardboard goes digital!
This legitimately on of the greatest solo games ever designed for tabletop and they’ve done a tremendous job getting the app to match the experience on the table.Eskiflow
