Absolutely brilliant, but now I can’t open previously started quests

I’ve been using this app for over a year and it is superb, bringing a whole new dimension to playing one of the best board games ever made.

Unfortunately we started playing again and the app won’t open any of the saved quests we had in progress (we have multiple teams/games going on). Without this issue the app would be a 5 out of 5. Hoping it is fixed soon.

Potential for 5 Stars

As someone who has been playing Heroquest since the original came out, I am so glad this app exists - and it’s very well done!
However, the reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because the sound doesn’t work now.
Otherwise, it’s a great app.
Please fix the sound issue so I can add a couple stars! 🙂

Great but bugged

Pass through rock not working unless the area beyong is already revealed

Playing quest 6 and AI is stuck and rarely attacking

Love it

This app not only makes HQ a 1 or 2-player game, it adds a sense of ambience and character through the sound and narration.

There are some quirks, like the enemy ai (in new versions they attack then walk away), but overall this app is excellent.

My greatest wish for the app would be the option for customization: as small as renaming enemy types or replacing their images/stats, or as grand as a quest builder. I imagine many folks like us customize their games no end—it would be incredible to bring those into the app

Was great but now I can’t attack.

Used the app many times but since the latest update can’t attack monsters. Very disappointing since I purchased the game for nostalgia reasons and now can’t play solo anymore.

Really like, but…

Really enjoying that I can play this game solo now, but please make it possible to move each Hero without counting each step. This way I could play the game more on the board, than the app. It would allow me to only use the app right before a Zargon encounter, or before spawning a new area/doors/traps/etc. it would make it quicker to update the current board status on the app. The app should only be necessary when it’s necessary.

Thumbs up

They didn’t have but they did

And it functions well enough

Nothing some house rules can’t fix

But greatfull something is better than nothing

App Really Good

Essentially if you have low numbers playing then this Free App acting as Zargon is really good, especially if you wish to play solo.

Fantastic App

Can now play hero quest with my partner and play as a player character now. It’s great fun taking on the dungeon not knowing what’s coming.

Love the app! Allows me to play with my kids.

Love the app (love the game too, have all expansions). It allows me to play with my friends and our two kids as one of the heroes. The app works pretty well and thus far no issues for me playing the basic quests. The narration is cool and my son gets excited whenever he hears Zargon say ‘The [name of monster] has been defeated.

With that being said a couple of improvement ideas for later upgrades:

1. A version for Windows: would love to use this on the laptop rather than iPhone. When we get together to play.

2. Ability create our own quests. I know there will always be limitations to the software as homebrewing and creating quests can be quite imaginative in a way software can’t emulate, but it would definitely be nice to at least create a quest using available heroes, monsters, traps, and add notes to rooms for treasure searches.

3. Add ability to play additional heroes (more than 4).

4. Lastly a ‘line of sight’ button or feature would be useful. There are workarounds but it would be nice to simply know if the dwarf can fire that cross or whatever.

Anyways, great app. It looks good has a lot of flavor, and I’m looking forwarded using it more.
