### 1/5 — Crashed

*2026-06-15, version v1.10*

Can't get pass the first night with out the game crashing thought it needed an update but their is none. Love the game hope they fix it

### 1/5 — Turns my sound off.

*2026-06-13, version v1.10*

When the options are:
1) Listen to the game sounds;
2) Total. Silence.;
3) Not playing the game…

I’ll always take 3. Why does the game need to turn off music or books? Didn’t it take extra effort to code that annoying feature?

### 1/5 — Crashes almost immediately upon launching

*2026-06-06, version v1.10*

Played for 100s of hours on PC (dealing with frequent crashes over the years there too), but this is ridiculous. Should be pulled from the App Store if you can’t even get through the tutorial.

### 4/5 — Spells are bad, AI colludes

*2026-05-26, version v1.10*

Game is very good, but any bear builds suffer from rotten spell selection. Sana in particular needs ways to remove/move other players and guards. Her terrible   fight and wits (lack of cards) means she needs more high mana spells she’d generally only have access to, that aren’t rot specific. 
Secondly, the AI guards will move to hinder the single player in ways it doesnt with the rest of the AI players, like camping on quests or blocking routes. If it was just a turn or even two, it wouldn’t be that big a deal, but clearly the AI is colluding with itself.

### 5/5 — Bomzao

*2026-02-25*

Bom demais

### 4/5 — A well designed game with a few nitpicks.

*2025-12-16, version v1.10*

This game has great art, great story, fun gameplay, the dice are spectacular in every way. So overall it’s amazing. Some nitpicks I hav are as follows.
1. It can be difficult to unlock new characters because of how much gold you get every time you play a game.
2. The dragon clan which is on steam is not available in the app which is disappointing.
3. I’ve come back after 3 years of not playing and there hasn’t been a lot of updates.
4. When I am playing against AI it can be too easy to beat them. So it would be nice if there was an option to increase their difficulty.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-12-12, version v1.10*

Good game, but nobody plays multiplayer

### 3/5 — ゲームは面白い

*2025-11-27, version v1.10*

タイトル画面がたまにバグって、持ち物が開けなくなる。
ほかにも表示バグがちらほらあるのでアプデしてなおしてほしい。

### 5/5 — Супер настолка

*2025-09-13, version v1.10*

Как вникнешь так и затянет с головой. Классные герои, механика и арт! Спасибо огромное за такой шедевр, прям вау

### 5/5 — Relaxing & Fun

*2025-08-17, version v1.10*

A sweet combination of tactics, strategy, and pure luck. This is an entirely unique game. The devs have picked an apt name for their company; I would guess they’ve lived the history of gaming since the era of hex-based board games. Nice work. And kudos to the art department and creatives.  
>>>Update: Having played for a few days (& becoming king a few times), I have one issue which may become a game killer; Armello either runs too fast to read the popups—which makes for an awkward learning exercise—and  alternately too slow during the NPCs’ time consuming encounters. Utilizing the speed up arrows gets old while changing the game settings itself offers no noticeable improvement.
