### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2025-09-04, version 2.11.0*

It is an interesting game! A little confusing, and not enough room to 'balance'.

### 2/5 — It’s hard

*2025-01-02, version 2.11.0*

Bob is a hard game I gave it a 2 star rating because it’s a hard hard hard game I don’t think you should play this game until your 8 like me and it’s still so hard so don’t’ let your kid play if there younger then 8 or 9 so try it but not to young it might be hard for grown ups to

Cheers

Jo!

### 5/5 — So much fun!!

*2024-11-10, version 2.11.0*

I loved playing this with my siblings after I got it as a present. I love the mechanics and the chaos of battle mode! 😂 10000/10 I love this game sooo much!

### 3/5 — Great game, Less great app

*2024-10-14, version 2.11.0*

We love this game! But the sound doesn’t work on 2 of our devices.

### 4/5 — Best game

*2024-10-06, version 2.11.0*

### 5/5 — Beasts of balance

*2024-09-07, version 2.11.0*

### 5/5 — It good

### 4/5 — I hate bob

*2024-06-05, version 2.11.0*

The board doesn’t want to recognize the beasts…
It’s just the way they made it

### 5/5 — Great Game, BUT…

*2024-06-03, version 2.11.0*

So much fun to play, up there in my top 5 mobile games. BUT (and this is a big but) I dislike the fact that if a land animal goes extinct (great way to keep the game 3+ btw) it just leaves behind A PILE OF BONES 😨 which just linger there until the world ends. Can you make a feature to turn this off devs? Please?

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-05-21, version 2.11.0*

It is an amazing, fun and interactive game 😀😃😄😁😆 I love it❤️

### 3/5 — Rage inducing

*2024-03-24, version 2.11.0*

Even though it was a part of my childhood, it’s kinda annoying tbh (I also have a hatred of the “avatars” they use for the battle mode). The most simple stack plans don’t work and it’s super annoying. But it’s still a creative idea and the battle isn’t actually that bad.
6.5/10

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2024-03-02, version 2.11.0*

Make more FUN!!!!

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-04-02, version 2.11.1*

Trash

### 1/5 — Box of pretty plastic

*2024-12-17, version 2.11.0*

I was really hopeful about this game. I’d seen others reviews that said their first plinth was faulty or they’d had other tech issues but it seemed like overall their were good reviews. I have done everything I can in the FAQ section to reset the plinth, reset faulty pieces, and do what I could on my end to trouble shoot. I emailed for help and when I responded that the steps had not resolved the issue, I was never given any other assistance. I believe we have a faulty plinth but I was never given the option to replace it. Because it was gifted to us, I did not have an order number/receipt to replace the set. Very disappointed with what should have been a really fun game to play with my daughter.

### 1/5 — Interesting idea but crappy hardware

*2024-08-12, version 2.11.0*

Couldn’t get through a single game. Lack of placement detection, etc.
Very much not fun and expensive to boot.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-19, version 2.11.0*

Spent a lot of money on this and got nothing but frustration. It doesn’t register half of the pieces which just makes my child upset. Regret buying it.

### 1/5 — Huge Letdown - Game Unplayable

*2024-01-12, version 2.11.0*

Bought Beasts of Balance for a special Christmas surprise, but it’s been nothing but a headache. The main issue? A faulty plinth that makes the game literally unplayable. I’ve been stuck on the setup screen since day one.

I’ve sent several emails over the past few weeks, desperately looking for a fix or some support. All I got in return was an automated message promising a 24-hour response, which never happened.

The kids were supposed to enjoy this game during their Christmas break, but instead, we all ended up frustrated and disappointed. I feel like we were scammed - the game seemed great, but now I’m starting to doubt if it even works as advertised.

Is Beasts of Balance a real deal or just a sophisticated scam? Right now, it feels more like the latter. Really hoped for a better experience.

### 1/5 — This company is a scam

*2023-09-09, version 2.11.0*

Look at their Kickstarter from 2021 and read the comments. Don’t give them money, they will keep it and just stop responding. Horrible company with no ethics nor shame.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-02-04, version 2.10.0*

On scan la piece et quand on la dépose le socle ne la détecte pas

### 1/5 — No sound on iPhone

*2023-01-10, version 2.10.0*

Strangely sound works on my iPad but not iPhone.

### 1/5 — Sick of it!

*2022-11-23, version 2.10.0*

This is the third time I’ve backed up my iPad via iTunes and restored to a new iPad only to lose all progress! Needless to say myself and my kids are sick of it! Why is your save game data not in a backupable location? No other game or app does this!

EDIT 11/23/2022:

There is still no cloud save settings automatic or otherwise.  I still CANNOT transfer my game to a new device.  Why can’t you just fix persistence.json not backing up properly?

### 1/5 — I lost one battle

*2022-09-10, version 2.9.4*

I lost everything failed what is gravity
