Guys, it crashes all the time! What am I paying for?! ### 4/5 — Pretty Much Perfect *2021-03-05* Could Acram just take over all digital board game design? The UI is insanely polished. I’ve played the game about a dozen times in 24 hours and I’m ready to take on higher AI difficulty. Edit: one thing I can’t stand about online multiplayer is that you can’t add AI players to a multiplayer game. Seems like this could be done and would make it easier for two people to play online multiplayer but not have to resort to a two player game. ### 3/5 — I bought the game but... *2020-06-26, version 1.2.10* Bought the game but there's no sign of my purchase. Very weird and I'm not able to download it on any other device unless I pay again. Perhaps it's an Apple issue but I was hoping this would resolve itself but clearly hasn't. Game itself is ok but can feel very biased against the human player. ### 2/5 — よくわからない *2019-04-22* うーんって感じ特に面白くはない ### 2/5 — Update fatigue *2019-02-23* Are you guys seriously pushing out an update when you have a sale so you can put the 'Sale' banner on your icons? Because that's what it looks like. ### 3/5 — Bello ma... *2019-02-19, version 1.2.3* Fin quando sarà a pagamento non si troverà mai nessuno online per giocare... ### 3/5 — Игра на троечку, повелся на цену *2019-01-05* Не советую т.к. есть более дешёвые версии и они более привлекательны. Iphone xs - вылетает достаточно часто, спасает автосохранение. ### 4/5 — Implementacja dobra. *2018-12-20, version 1.2.0* Piątą gwizdkę dostaniecie jak będzie wsparcie dla 11 cali. ### 3/5 — 良くも悪くもシンプル *2018-11-24* ルールは覚えやすく、決着まで早いのでちょっとした時間潰しに最適。ただ、対戦相手に対する有効な妨害手段が少なく感じる点が残念。 パスプレイが出来るので旅の合間に仲間たちと一緒に遊ぶツールとしては難易度を踏まえて最適だと思う。 タイトルと上記の理由から何かしらのセールの時に買うなら損は無い内容なのでこの評価。 最後に、製作社さんにリクエスト。伝説の方のアプリ版も発売して欲しい。 ### 4/5 — Fantastico, ma... *2018-10-20, version 1.1.2* La versione cellulare potenzia il gioco da tavolo, con nuove regole e diverse mappe, e le musiche sono molto piacevoli. L’unico “problema” che riscontro nel gioco è il fatto che nella mappa “Pianure Meridionali” quando raggiungo un determinato punto della mappa, il gioco si chiude. Per favore risolvete con nuovi aggiornamenti perché avete già fatto un bel lavoro. ### 3/5 — Multi-player needs work. *2018-03-23* This a fine, faithful adaptation of a very good board. I would easily add another two stars to my review when the following issues are addressed. Most importantly there are no time limits in an asynchronous game. This means when a player abandons a game, the game goes into limbo. I have two such games hanging as I write this post. Secondly, there does not appear to be a way to set a specific numbers of players in a multi-player game. So if I want to create a three player game, I have to be constantly watching the game lobby to start the game when the desired number of players join. I’m certain the developers will address this in a forthcoming update and I will happily revise the game’s rating at that time. ### 4/5 — Fun for what it is *2018-02-20* It's a well done little conquest game done with cards. It's limited but there's real skill involved in winning which I like. It's also quick, for those times you want a lighter games. ### 3/5 — Et le mode online, on en parle ? *2018-01-21* Très bon jeu. Mais le mode jeu online laisse vraiment à désirer : peu de joueurs, impossibilité de virer les joueurs qui ne jouent pas et bloquent les parties, pas de système de classement ... ### 4/5 — Great game, kills battery *2017-11-26* The game is really fun and well done. I just wish it didn't drain my battery so much. It is such a problem that I can't play as much as I'd like. ### 4/5 — Multiplayer could use some enhancement. *2017-11-25* Fun game but in multiplayer none of us get any turn notifications (asynchronous games) and you don't get any indication something was added to the room message board. Not showstoppers but definitely irritants to an otherwise fun experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Silly game *2023-10-16* I wrote a review awhile back, and it got deleted. So I will try again. The idea behind this game is good, very good. There is area control, and there is card play. It is all ruined by the ability to move an army through enemy territory as if the enemy wasn’t even there. That’s unrealistic, and silly. ### 1/5 — OK game but not worth price *2019-09-14, version 1.2.5* OK game but no where worth the asking price ### 1/5 — Geld zum Fenster rausgeworfen *2019-04-25* Sorry aber das Spiel ist ja nun wirklich extrem langweilig. Geld leider zum Fenster raus geworfen. Es kommt keine Spannung auf da man nur stumpf die Karten abarbeitet. Kann nur davon abraten. ### 1/5 — Garbage game *2019-02-14* No intelligence at all. Wasting time. ### 1/5 — Сняли больше+вылеты *2019-01-02* Господа. У вас объявлена стоимость 149. В итоге улетело 179 ‘это для тех, кому 30р играют роль.’ А вот основная беда в том, что невозможно поиграть. iPhone X последняя iOS. Постоянные вылеты. Как человеку, впервые скачавшему игру подобного жанра, обидно, честно говоря. Хотелось именно на устройстве поиграть. ### 1/5 — Crashes after map pack purchase *2017-09-16* Reinstall / restore purchases just leads to crashing again. ### 1/5 — Reproduzierbare Abstürze *2017-09-15* Auf 'Neues Spiel' tippen -> Spiel stürzt ab. Jedes Mal. Hat das jemand getestet? Wann kommt das Update? ### 1/5 — No longer works..l *2017-09-15, version 1.0.2* It was a great game (I could complain a little at the cost of the maps) but the upgrade today killed the game. Product starts ok but if you select New Game, it just crashes. ### 1/5 — 爛 *2017-09-11, version 1.0.1* 爛，貴爆了，虧爆了 ### 2/5 — Spielprinzip *2024-03-06* Das Spiel hat kein Tiefgang oder die Möglichkeit tricky, clever oder listig zu agieren sondern man wählt permanent 3 von 5 Karten, Ende. Irgendwie nicht mein Fall. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand your disappointment regarding the game's depth and strategic options. Your input is valuable to us, and we hope to better meet your expectations in the future. In the meantime, perhaps you might be interested in exploring some of our other games that could align more closely with your preferences? :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — oh *2021-09-25* good game ### 5/5 — Fast & good *2020-04-05* While many civilization building games are marathons, this one is more like a 100 yard dash. You play cards to gain resources, which you have to balance, and choose actions from city building, raising troops, moving your troops, naval movement, destroying enemies, etc. the objective is to control regions of the board and preferably continents which you do by gaining a majority. You have a limited number of turns and curren$y to work with, and often the game is over before you know it, generally 10 minutes or so. These limitations make a quick play, but they also mean that each movie has to be thought about pretty carefully, because you don’t have time to waste. Well done! ### 5/5 — Great for busy people *2019-06-19* I like civilization games but my schedule doesn’t allow for long gaming sessions. This game is perfect for people like me who like the genre but only have time for shorter games. I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this one! This is very well designed and user friendly. The rule book is a fast and clear read, and between that and a tutorial game you’re good to go. The AI seems balanced to me and I’m enjoying playing against it. Even though the games are brief the strategy is deep enough to keep it interesting without being overbearing. The perfect balance for a sort-of casual gamer like me. I’m glad the game board allows for easy zooming, because even on a large phone the map and icons are small. But the zoom function here is well done and very helpful for people like me who wear glasses. I find the pricing fair for a game of this quality. I’m glad there are good developers like this one and am happy to support their monetization model. Thank you, developers! ### 5/5 — One of my go to’s *2019-05-23* This is easily in my top 3 favorite games. Only issue I have it that it crashes between games. ### 5/5 — このゲームは面白い *2018-05-01* あっという間に決着がつく。戦略が鍵となる。とにかく決着が早い。面白い。 ### 5/5 — Świetne wykonanie *2018-03-15, version 1.1.2* Polecam i gratuluje deweloperom. ### 5/5 — Excellent titre. *2017-12-19* Très bien adapté au support tablette. Beau portage du jeu de société. Excellent titre. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-12-16* I’ve only played a few times but this seems like a great game. 8 minutes is a bit aggressive but each game is definitely short. Looking forward to playing multiplayer. ### 5/5 — Love it, Just like board game *2017-11-27* I have all the board games. This game is awesome I especially like the multiplayer. Little discombobulated about paying $5 for mountains which has negligible general effect on the game but just consider it a helping fund the developers for making an iOS version. ### 5/5 — Très bon *2017-11-25* Un excellent jeu de stratégie simple et très accessible surtout pour ceux que les gros jeux comme Risk rebutent . Très bien construit et d'une fluidité parfaite et de plus appli en promo avec une carte en cadeau c'est encore mieux 😜😜😜 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
