  • Great app but has issues.

    We have played three missions now and the app has crashed five times will playing the third mission.

    Also, why isn’t there a save and continue option? Could you also make the banner icons a little bigger. I’m using an 11 inch display and it is difficult to see them. Can you make it were your campaign can be loaded on different devices?

  • Great app, needs more campaigns

    I love this game, and the app is amazing. It really is genius and makes this game unlike anything I’ve played before. Here are a few things I’d like to see:
    -More campaign options. This was actually a huge disappointment. The game is expensive, so to play 13 adventures and then be finished with the campaign, with no other campaigns available, is kind of a bummer. Yes we will go replay Bones of Arnor with new characters again and it will be different and fun, but still, there should be more options for a game that’s nearly $100. I know another will be coming out to purchase, but it seems like it should have started with 3-4 available.
    - I love the narrator at the beginning and end of the campaign. I would love it if there was an option to have the narrator read the flavor in each adventure
    - There is no way that I can find to “undo” or go back to reread something that just happened. There were a few times we skipped over something too quickly, or hit a wrong button, then couldn’t go back.
    - An option to keep the screen awake would be nice.
    -The “chronicle” button on our app doesn’t work in some adventures, but does in other. It just sort of crashes and closes the app when we try to go to it.

    Again, the app is amazing and as far as I know, really unique. Since it’s so new I hope a couple of these things get taken care of!

  • I prefer mansions of madness

    I love MoM, so as a LotR fan I thought I’d love this, but I don’t. The shuffling of tiny decks gets on my nerves, and I find the story aspect quite weak. I think fantasy flight could have done better, and have. Also to charge the same of MoM is crazy, as there’s a lot more content. Luckily, I got it cheap somewhere.

  • Great

    Really loving the app but would be nice to have an undo button for accidental taps.
  • The road goes ever on and on...

    Going to try to keep this short and try to add useful suggestions as I play the game.
    Sooo... the game is awesome. FFG has come up with an amazing game, very impressive. The app helps to reinforce the Middle-earth theme with great graphics and immersive but unobtrusive audio track (including both music and ambient sounds of nature).
    Normal when I open a new FFG game I expect it to be very rules-heavy and complex. Not the case here! With just a little bit of patience I was able to get my 10 y.o. Playing this very easily.
    Suggestions- On the player cards each Stat Icon has a specific shape and a unique color. The app, when instructing you to make a skill test, only displays the Stat’s *shape* displayed in white. It would make it much easier to quickly identify which stat to use if the app displayed it in the corresponding color. Easy fix that could really make things less confusing for new players.
    Thanks for a great game!

  • No sound/ no camp after mission

    Game is fun, the app itself is decent but since the game is useless without it, and not working on my iPhone, my game is basically a cardboard paperweight. My friend’s iPad works fine, so I know it’s not user error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no dice (pun intended, game has no dice).
  • This is pretty cool!

    You need the board game to play this,
    And as a whole, the board game + app are very well done.
    The app supports gameplay, drives the adventure and takes care of tracking most statistics.
    Add nice background music and visual you got something pretty great!

    One thing though, as you are learning to cope with the app and board gameplay, you could be misinterpreting the rules and may want to redo your actions: there is no BACK button. So if you screw up... you’re screwed and everyone else around the table.
    Now « I get it » that they didn’t not include that to prevent cheating... but since it’s a coop Game it doesn’t really matter right?
    I would really love a BACK BUTTON to prevent goofs :-)

    Very nice game! Looking forward to expansions!

  • Love

    Love this. Best app game integration ever.

    Can the developer find a way to keep the iPad from going to sleep when playing? That’s my only gripe.
  • No Sound on iPad

    Would love to give this 5 stars as the game is fantastic but I don’t get any sound on my iPad.
  • Awesome app, with one annoying flaw

    This app/game is great! Feels like easy DnD. Please add the ability for the app to keep the screen awake when you are in a game though (PLEASE).
