Leave a Review Sentinels of the Multiverse
Amazing adaptation to iPhone
There's a lot going on in this game and I'm sure it was really difficult for them to design it to work well on the iPhone but they've done an incredible job.
The UI for playing is perfectly done and you have access to everything you need all the time. This game also works so well as a phone game that can be picked up any and played for a bit any time.
My only quibble is that you can't get enough info when you're setting up a game - if you haven't memorized which picture goes with which variant then you need to go back to the multiverse screen to look it up and then set up a new game all over again because when you leave the setup screen it starts the game. Annoying, but I can get over it.Show lessSupaupaupagoat
Fabulous
It would take forever to give a proper review for a game of this magnitude. If you want to know and understand the complexities of this game, go online and read about it. If you're into card battlers with heroes fighting seemingly overpowered villains, then you'll want to own this game. This is more of a review of the iPhone port. I really appreciate that the devs didn't just port over the iPad version. They designed it around the iPhone screen. They never cease to amaze me. The digital version of this game has so much spit and polish and has been created with so much care. I really appreciate this company. Thanks for making a great game and for being so passionate about what you love to do. It truly shows.Show lessslimtrimkid
Great implementation of a not very good card game
The app is incredibly well made - great sound and visual design, nice touches throughout.
That said, the game itself just really isn't very good. It's full of variety but completely lacking in elegance. There's very little opportunity to make interesting decisions and the game can be incredibly all over the place as far as difficulty goes.
Probably just get Star Realms instead? It's a very good game with a great app, too.Show lessBenDTU
Fantastic Game, But With Issues
While I love the new content added with the current patch, there are still some serious issues with the game. Most noticeable, the villain select screen lags so much that selecting a villain to face is a challenge in and of itself (double taping on a villain to see their character card or difficulty is essentially impossible, the lag will not register the second tap). In addition the game crashes reasonably often. This isn't a *huge* problem, because the game autosaves constantly, so nothing is lost, but it is still a pain.
That being said, the game is still excellent and incredibly fun. Fix these issues and I'd give it a solid 5/5.Show lessZanaLyrander
Exactly like the card version
I have the actual card game and was hesitant to buy the IOS version after reading a few bad reviews. I am glad I did not listen!
This plays just like the card game, it's that simple. Except you do not have to do the book keeping and hit point tracking, which is realllllly nice.
For this who are new, this is a super hero combat game against a super villain in a not so friendly environment. Every hero plays differently as does every villain and environment, so you have lots of replayability. The expansions add more of everything, so it gives you even more variety.
Now if they could get the Vengeance expansion digital, so I can get two of my favorite heroes in the game!Show lessTekChef
Fantastic digital version of a fantastic card game
The physical version of Sentinels of the Multiverse quickly became a favorite amongst my gamer friends. It is one of the few card games that really nails it's theme and can hold our attention week after week. There are enough variables built in to keep the games fresh and unique each time we play. I had my doubts about the digital version being able to keep track of all of the strange interactions of the various powers and buffs. But they managed to pack it all in.
The developers of this gem did a fantastic job of translating the live experience on to my tablet. In fact, I've learned a few nuances playing the digital version that I had been playing wrong in the physical game. I can't recommend this game enough. It provides a wonderful way to learn new heroes and try out different team combinations. It's wonderful to play a quick game when my group can't get together. The presentation is all top notch (I love the golden age look of the illustrations). There is a lot going on under the covers here but the game interface handles it all spectacularly. If you aren't sure give the free learning mode a try. I plan on playing this for a very long time and I'll be purchasing every season pass they release.Show lessSadCoolWhip
Great game.
If you like super hero games or card games and especially if you like both, give this game a shot.
Simple to understand, but very deep strategy. Interesting/unique play for every hero and villain. And most importantly…Super Heroes, lots and lots of Super Heroes. It is just fun to engage in an epic brawl against an arch nemesis.
Very smooth game play even on my ancient machine (iPad 3) with no graphic hiccups. Although some of the effect could happen faster, I don’t know if that is my machine going slow or that is the speed they are programed to go (I can tap on the screen to move the action along much more quickly).
Had this on my radar for a while and finally bought it during the Christmas sale ($6.99). I’ve played about 10 games now and will be buying the expansions in the very near future (expecting some iTunes gift cards incoming). It seems like a high price for an iOS game, but I have found this one to be totally worth it. Will update this review after I’ve got the expansions and have played a bit more.Show lessRanccor
Phenomenal adaptation = Best card game on iPad
Sentinels of the multiverse always interested me as a board game. Each of an entirely original group of superheroes is represented by a different deck of cards, which operate along principles based conceptually on the power set and thematic elements of the heroes. Villains are decks and character cards played according to precise rules, and act as an enemy to the group of hero decks.
The fundamental problem with the board game was the complexity that made the game interesting also resulted in endless tracking of modifiers, hit points, abilities, etc. This game, by automating the tracking elements while preserving the genius of the numerous hero and villain deck mechanics, transforms a strong card game on cardboard to a super-hero of a computer card game.
You owe it to yourself to give this a try if you like computer card games at all. The game has continuous new materials as the physical card game continues to develop and support further expansion, and the developers are amazingly responsive and dedicated. The price is very reasonable when you consider that it is single purchase for all content, and then substantial expansions modeled directly on the physical card game expansions as they were sold.
A solid 5 stars, and I think by far the best solo computer card game on any platform. Did I mention multiplayer is already in Beta?Show lessSolidStateEntity
Fantastic iOS version
This is a tremendous version of my favorite cooperative tabletop card game/boardgame. All of the original feel is captured, with streamlined bookkeeping and cool sound/animations. If you haven't played the original game, this is an excellent superhero team-up with original characters that plays quick and varied. Each hero, villain and environment has a completely different and thematic feel.
This version definitely replaces my solo-play of the card game. I would say I'd like an asynch, multiplayer of this game, but that is what the tabletop version excels at. Can't wait for more expansions as I already purchased the "Season 1" in-game expansion.Show lessKalii1114
Really good game
Beautiful graphics and unusual gameplay, but would it be possible to put an option for lower quality or less assets so it doesn't eat the best part of a gigabyte?xrupa
