Excellent Board game Feel to it!

The game really feels like you are playing a tabletop. It’s fantastic in graphics, and how the game is played. Play it and you will have a blast!

The game does have a repetitive side to it but i am sure they have more planned for this.

It could be great to add “expansion packs” with different monsters, zones and such. Could be neat to see an alien invasion, or classic horrors, or who knows I’m just throwing ideas out there.

Loved it but it doesn’t sync

I wish my iPhone, Mac, and iPad would sync my data. I unlocked the 4 character and had to swap my iPad due to damage. When swapping my iPad non of my progression was saved.

Don’t get me wrong I played it again but it was frustrating to lose that information. I hope you guys release more characters to play as and more passive and active skills.

Response from developer

Hi ArtishBA, Thanks for playing the game! Please make sure you have iCloud and Game Center enabled in your devices settings. If the problem persists please contact support@thelabel.game for further information and stay tunned for future updates.

Good Game but...

I agree with the sentiments of other reviewers. I like to play this game. I find the two levels challenging to an extent but after that it becomes repetitive. Add more player types... add more monsters to be more random... add a few legendary items that can appear sporadically on the hard level... stuff like that would help. Maybe even offer quests that unlock such legendary items to keep the play challenging.

Also, there is a very annoying glitch that needs to be resolved ASAP. Randomly throughout a match, there comes a point when the item cards get flipped and the card disappears. So no card and no new item to put in their inventory. It’s so AGGRAVATING!!! At first I thought it was due to the boss being on the board but then it happened when the boss wasn’t in play. There might be some important items that get missed that could change up the game play but the glitch makes it impossible to know that for sure.

This game is awesome, but I’m hoping for “great”

I don’t review often, but when a game like this comes along, I am stoked. It’s engaging, challenging at times, and otherwise rewarding in the sense that you accomplished a board. Unfortunately, there is not enough to warrant a 5 star, despite it being SO CLOSE.

1) more characters: I’d love to see more characters added, shoot I’d even pay for DLC characters on this one.

2) more variety: each map does not change the tasks, it’s always find the spires, what if there were challenges like “have 50% or more of your team exit the map,” or “kill so many monsters,” Or “Kill the boss to win the map.”

3) more monsters/skins: okay, I get it, it’s essentially Zombicide, and that’s awesome, but maybe we could have different skin-options for the monsters, or even a different skin pack for the whole game? Medieval skin-pack, perhaps?

There’s a lot of fun to be had in this game, don't get me wrong, but let’s get some more VARIETY. I want more STUFF. What do you say, Dev?

Enjoyable but limited

Fun to play but a bit limited in scope. Would like to see more objectives and gameplay mechanics open up as the game advances.

Great graphics. The music and sfx are a bit bland.

Fun *bug?*

Been really enjoying the game. It’s a great digital board game that I pass and play with my girlfriend. We ran into something that might be a bug? We were running a large map game. One of the characters died. Every turn after that, the game would just skip one of the character’s turns. No monsters were in that character’s space, and it would be different characters each time. Once 2 characters took their turn, the third character’s turn would be skipped. I couldn’t find anything in the rules that mentioned this being a rule. This has only happened once. Great game regardless!!!

Enjoyable Virtual Board Game

You’ll probably be into this if you’ve played and enjoyed table top, light-RPGs like House on the Hill or Eldritch Horror. You’re likely to bounce off this if you’ve never played a table top game. If you do know those titles, note that this is quite simpler than both.

Theme references a certain popular mini-series. Production values are higher than other virtual board games I’ve played.

I would be interested in additional objective types. The objective is always the same, as far as I’ve played. There is a progression system, but no campaign.

Games are pretty quick, and can be surprisingly tense.

Love This Game

Over the past couple of days I have been playing this game non stop and because of it, I have seriously considered keeping Apple Arcade being there aren’t many games I would play on there yet. On another note to the developers I would just like to let you know this is a glitch when you have the kid selected as one of your players, that his trade ability still will use up on of your AP (Actions) unless used as last move. I would also like to suggest if there is a way you could make it so we could bring up all the characters items at once, not to trade just to compare that would be amazing. Altogether though the game is very fun and entertaining I will continue to play!

Needs more challenge!

I think this game is really fun; I’ve always enjoyed games with randomly-generated levels and power-ups because of their “endless” playability potential. The graphics are nice, as well.

But to echo some other reviewers, there needs to be more of a point to playing this than simply acquiring larger boards or more characters. You can easily do this simply by playing a lot, rather than playing with specific tasks in mind. I’m also worried that once I do get the largest board and the 4th character, there won’t really be any purpose anymore. Does it just stop there? I’ve never lost a game, so maybe things should get more *difficult* instead of simply larger? Maybe there should be quests, or something to additionally complete in order to win?
Right now, it’s both too easy and too limited in scope. I wish I could give it 5 stars, though!

Love it

Love the game! Is it a bug that rolling a 0 counts as a success? Also, could use a little easier way to get refreshers on items/abilities and what they do. I seem to have to hunt a bit for that.
