Made it so you can skip the black screen on start by pressing on it. Allowed more zoom out.

Good

Loved the game. Very hard but fun and the app run smoothly and with no problems on my SE 2gen

A great game, but a bit buggy

Love the tabletop game and the app is a nice port. But, the zoom level on the iPhone is still messed up. Also, the bugs let it down a bit (particularly when it comes to undoing or moving the crow, but also when resuming games, some strange guard movement such as showing 6 but only moving 2 spaces, and once needing to draw 2 event cards rather than 1).

Overall a good port of a great game when played on the iPad.

Cโ€™mon, youโ€™ve got to be kidding!

First of all, this is an exceptionally excellent game. For all those saying this is too hard, try all the options before you complain. There are about a dozen ways you can make it easier including giving each burglar more stealth, choosing the level, setting the difficulty of each level and selecting the size of your team. My favorite is Fort Knox on normal difficulty with only Juicer and Hawk on my team. Developers, a big well done. Complainers, try engaging your brain and testing the game properly before engaging your mouth. EDIT- Having just completed Fort Knox on โ€œHardโ€, I cannot recommend this game highly enough! If you like a game that you click a couple of dozen times and can then say youโ€™ve won, this is not for you! If however you like a challenge and want to use every ounce of your brain, you will love this game. Think a chess game against a very very good player, and you have an idea of the complexity and level of challenge, My favorite game of 2017 (and I fully expect 2018 also) Again, Well Done Developers!

EDIT AGAIN:

Still playing and still a great game. My favorite game of 2021! :)

Some rough edges, but a welcome game

I used to be more of a hardcore gamer - even developed video games for a few years. Nowadays Iโ€™m mostly into board games and tabletop simulators. Most board game adaptations have tons of glitzy animations and sound that I find detracts from the game play. I had played this game on Tabletop Simulator so decided to give it a try here. There are definitely some rough edges from a development standpoint. But the gameplay isnโ€™t interfered with by a bunch of animation sideshows. I havenโ€™t hit some of the gameplay issues Iโ€™ve seen mentioned, and hopefully there will be updates to fix those at some point. But for a casual game I can sit and play while watching TV or other multitasking, Iโ€™m pleased with this for the cost.

Great adaptation

Burgle Bros is an excellent adaptation of the board game. It is very challenging but with multiple difficulty settings is most certainly winnable. And when you win it feels like a real accomplishment. Some of the UI can be a bit hard to see at times but this is a minor issue that does not prevent enjoyment of the game.

If you want a challenging strategy game that is never the same twice you will be happy.
