  • Good game but RNG is BS

    I know luck happens but this luck seems manufactured.
  • Would be perfect if it let you skip cutscenes or had online multiplayer

    Having online multiplayer would be nice, but not being able to skip cutscenes by clicking on them or hitting an X or something once you’ve already seen them is really annoying. I know you can disable them completely but then if I ever run into a new ending or midway point for a dlc mission I’d miss out on a new one.

    And chance of this changing?

  • For the love of Cthulhu, let us skip cutscenes

    Otherwise, the best game on iOS. Period
  • Good but hard

    I love this game, don’t get me wrong. But the chances of winning are about one to a million. I never played the board game and I don’t know if it's that hard, but I feel there should be a way to better customize the level of difficulty for each monster. Other than that, the graphics are beautiful, the atmosphere delightfully gloomy and it doesn’t crash anymore. Good game overall, but be prepared to get frustrated with the amount of loosing.

  • Used to be 5 star but now has a major flaw

    I thought this app when it first came out and was one of my firm favourites until the 64 bit upgrade. Since then you are forced to sit through the introduction video every time you start the game, which gets very tedious.

    Would it be possibility to have the ability to skip this again, please??

    Aside major glitch aside, Elder Signs is still a fantastic app.

  • No, absolutely not fun

    I like the Cthulhu mythos and normally enjoy these types of games, but definitely despise this game. The slot machine quality of gameplay on normal difficulty felt rigged in a weak effort at simulating the kind of challenging play that is traditional to games in the mythos genre; I did not bother to experience the undoubtedly more extreme rigging that must take place at higher difficulties. Wow, am I disgruntled over the wasted money on this fraudulent experience. Thankfully I didn’t throw away any more on in-game expansions. 👎

  • Fantastic

    In all seriousness, this is one of my favorite iOS ports of a tabletop game in existence. It gives a nice taste of the mythos, and provides just enough of a challenge to still be fun.

    If I were to offer one criticism, however, I must say I miss being able to skip cutscenes. I don’t want to have to sit through that long intro every time I play.

  • More expansions please

    Love this game I need to get the physical copy next. I own quite a few Fantasy Flight Games. Thanks for updating to 64bit.
  • Elder sign, uncommonly good

    I rarely write a review for a game, though I chat about Cthulhu and Lovecraft a lot on YSDC CBC.
    I played this a while on the basic version and was hooked. I bought the upgrades, very satisfying game play. Challenges are strong and characters/abilities balanced so that the grey matter has a really fun time.
    Thanks to the designers.
    I do have a suggestion,
    . could the spells, clues etc be swappable between PCs if they are in the same location?

  • Gorgeous and wonderful version of the game

    I love this tabletop game and so I was very interested to see how this would translate over into an app since it is so involved. This app did not disappoint and is a perfect version of the game. I would even say it really clears some extra questions I had about the board game rules up too! It's clean, the graphics are great and it plays easy. I love playing four different investigators and using their abilities. I found it was much easier to almost win. Definitely worth the price!
