Its fun, but i disagree with the statement from the dev saying “some games arnt ment to be beat”
the fact that its hard coded some playthroughs are programmed to be doomed from the start is unfair. it takes all the skill out of the game and has you wondering through out the whole playthrough if this is one of them.
i wish they would get rid of the doomsday patch and revert it back to how it used to be to be upon release. having the game autodecide if youll win or lose at the start, regardless of the probabilities, is unfair and takes away from the experience.

I love this game
I love this game. I will always love this game. The mechanics, the art, the tone. AAA
An exceptional app, long overdue for an update
Elder Sign Omens is a genuinely excellent digital adaptation of the physical board game from fantasy flight. Gameplay is sleek and balanced, and provides a great deal of challenge.
It was wonderful to see the three digital campaigns translated to the physical as the final three expansions, however there is even more physical content.
Given how prevelent digital adaptations of physical games have become, it would really be wonderful if Fantasy Flight were to update Elder Sign Omens with new monsters, new investigators, online and local multiplayer modes, and a Streets of Arkham mode.
And whilst the decisions made to streamline digital gameplay do just that, it might be interesting to provide a ‘Core Rules’ mode, which replicates the board game even more (replacing investigators if lost, Great Old One combat, Allies… etc).

Excellent implementation of an excellent game
Each turn, your investigator has several choices of locations to investigate. You investigate by rolling dice and trying to match them to symbols on the location card. Each investigator has their own special ability. One is immune to terror effects. Can can do more than one match with a given roll. One gets extra clue tokens that let you reroll. There’s a lot of luck of course. It’s dice after all. But there’s considerable judgment and strategy too. And the theme is well done.

Okay game but major balance issues
For .99 cents the game isn’t bad but it’s not good either. The game has major balance issues with the dice rolls. To the point it’s frustrating and there isn’t much joy in the game. Not even the actual board game this game is based off has dice rolls this bad. Unfortunately, doubt the developers of this app will never look into this balance issue and rework the dice rolls to be more fair as it’s all but confirmed they’ve abandoned this app and have no intent on addressing the dice roll balance issues that have plagued this app since day one. Buy at your own risk and be prepared to question your sanity if you do buy this app.
