Leave a Review D&D Lords of Waterdeep
Great worker placement game
If you like worker placement games, this is one of my favorite. Each turn, you're trying to complete quests by accumulating units of various professions (and also money). Each player has a secret agenda, which changes what types of questions you'll prefer. There's considerable variety in how each game plays out, and the sounds and graphics add nicely to play. This isn't a D&D RPG. But it's very enjoyable. It's nice to have a game where you turn your mind on rather than off, on iOS. Edit: Minus one star for the update the switched to landscape. This took a 5-star game and worsened playability. In a strange way, it’s a little prettier. But I have a much harder time playing. They had (and no doubt in their codebase still HAVE) and perfectly good portrait-orientation UI. If they wanted to enable landscape, I wish they’d done it by giving is the OPTION which one to use. As I type this, the average rating is now 2.6. When I first reviewed it as a 5-star game, its average was quite a bit higher. Like a lot of things these days, that’s a ridiculous overreaction. It’s still a very good game.Show lessContinuing to wait for portrait
Community has abandoned this game. Just a few years ago it was easy to maintain online games. Ever since the landscape update this game has plummeted in quality and active. The game itself is a portrait board. Forcing this game to be played landscape to “fit in” with other apps is nonsense. This game was fantastic, easy to play, and powerful in portrait. I download this game several times a year, attempt to play, get frustrated, and delete it. The lack of portrait mode breaks this for me. This was the perfect game to play on the train or while walking, but landscape makes that impossible. Developers pushed a minor update to fix some overlapping graphics issues I reported. However, this simply makes text and UI elements smaller. This exasperates an issue that did not exist in portrait.
Game remains unplayable on iPhone. Sigh.Show lessDeveloper Response

It seemed weird that a Dungeons & Dragons game didn’t feature you fighting in combat directly. But this game has grown on me. It’s a “euro” style boardgame that’s digitized so you can play solo against AI opponents. I enjoy playing the role of a cunning lord trying to gain power and influence in a city against other lords, using adventurers as a kind of weird “human currency” to achieve quests. I find it much more fun than playing chess to while away time when I am waiting or just want to exercise my mind.Show less
