Tutorial and fighting don’t work
Not working
New to the game
Hi all,
Big fan of 4X games, and came across this game a few weeks ago, and can’t put it down. Fantastic game, and adaptation. One ask, any future plans to upgrade to the second edition? That would be sweet, happy to pay for it as well? Thanks

Nice adaptation!
Crashes a few times but doesn’t lose place in game. Please release an adaptation of Second Dawn! 🙏
DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH
App used to work. These idiots ruined a perfectly good game.
Crashes immediately
Can’t even start the tutorial on iPad
Great app of one of my favorite Boardgame
Simple to play, yet hard to master. Very good mix of skill and randomness.
I hope someone put energy to add expansions AND create competitive online. Would add a lot of replay value.
Enjoy!

Unplayable - Game crashes
Don’t buy. I finished my first turn and the game freezes with the next AI player “contemplating their turn”.
Unfortunately unbroken…
Can play first turn but then gets stuck on AI thinking. Looks like it would be a brilliant game if fixed
Barely functional
AI bots become stuck thinking, stalling the game. The developer’s website is down/gone.
So sad that there isn’t any support for this game anymore.

The worst version of an excellent game
This app is built with the original rules of the game, which had some balance issues. Notably, the missiles don’t require power, so loading them up on a dreadnaught with some computers is unstoppable. It also doesn’t implement some notable improvements from the game’s expansions, such as variable turn order. For some reason, the game also considers moving through an allied species’ unoccupied territory as an aggressive action and gives you the traitor penalty.
Hopefully, the publisher will upgrade the app and enable content from the expansions some day. The actual board game is excellent in its current iteration.

Broken
I can play the first turn then it gets stuck with the next AI player thinking.
Used to be good. Now, it’s useless.
I used to enjoy this game on iOS, but it had been a couple of years since I’d last tried to play it. Now it just freezes, as other reviewers have said. And what a disappointment it was to find this out. I guess it’s time for the delete button on this one, but I will miss it.
Fraud - Do Not Buy!
Game is defective. It does not function. Do not buy!
Seller is defrauding the public and should be banned from the App market.
Apparently the seller is knowingly selling a defective app that will not function. (See the many complaints.)
Seller will not correct app so it can be played.

Good game, some dubious stuff
A reasonable recreation of the original board game, with some AI generally decent enough to at least go through the motions of competing.
A few issues:
1. Hydran AI is terrible, so blue AI needs to be Terran
2. AI prioritizes ancient-busting to the point that there’s little point for a human player to choose Draco
3. There is some very dubious “randomness” is the explore tiles. The human player can expect to get the worst tile available.

Quality has gone down
I have had this game for a few years and I decided to fire it back up after a year or so has gone by. Since it was so long I started the tutorial. When it came for the first ai player to go it got stuck on thinking and never proceeded. I could touch other ui elements and they worked but it was stuck thinking. I touched the menu button and the music changed but it was still on the tutorial screen thinking.
Restarted the app and tried to resume but now the interface shows all resources at 32 and it is locked up.
So sad, I do not want to try getting into a game because I don’t want it to lock up and this is not a quick 10 minute game.
I hope the developers read this. I hope they fix it but to see the rating go down to a 2.6 at the time of this writing it does not appear they are taking it serious enough. There seems to be a lot of complaints.
Seems like all they did was update this to note that is the first edition version. Since the 2nd edition is out perhaps they don’t care anymore. But then the update before that was 4 years ago.
Abandoned? I guess buyer beware.

Hopeful... disappointed.
I saw that this app had an update 2 months ago and a positive review a month ago, so I gave it a try. The tutorial glitched out so hard that I couldn't use the save file, but I know how to play the game, so I figured I could muddle through the interface. My first game vs a few AI had me unable to select planets to colonize after my Advanced Economy research, the map scroll and zoom were frustrating at best, and the turn order never changed based on pass order. Basically unplayable. Hopefully Apple approves my refund.

Good to me
I have the board game and the expansion. The design undergirding eclipse is one of the best in gaming. I have not had any issues playing the app.
So glad this is available again!!!
This is such a great game. It’s been unavailable on the App Store for years but I’m glad to see it’s back again. Looking forward to the release of second dawn.
Excellent digital representation of a great game
This was made quite a long time ago and disappeared from the app store for years. When it popped back up and I finally got to buy it, I wasn’t really expecting much, especially compared to some newer games. But this blew me away. The interface is fantastic and the AI is quite good. This is one of the best board game adaptations I’ve played, at least single player. I haven’t tried multiplayer and can’t comment on it.
The only issue I have is that I’m VERY suspicious of the dice rolls. Maybe I’m just comically unlucky, but I might start keeping track of the dice results to make sure.

Amazing!
Incredible that this game has re-appeared on iOS after 4 years in the wilderness. All appears to be fixed now and seems stable. Thank you so much Brettspielwelt!!!
