Great game
Fantastic port. Still some minor bugs.
Assault bug finally fixed
I had been very close to deleting this game from my iPad, but I am glad I didn’t because the publisher finally released an update that fixes the infamous "assault bug" where both sides would roll sixes every time in close combat. This bug had essentially broke the game since close combat is not only frequent but it also is often game-deciding. As an app publisher myself I was completely mystified why anyone would publish a game of this caliber and then completely abandon it without so much as a bug fix update for over a year. Even if it didn’t sell well, a bug-fix for something as egregious as the assault bug would have been a minimal common courtesy for those who did purchase the game I order to make it playable for them. I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5 mostly because while the game itself is excellent, I can’t rate it 5 stars given the lack of service the publisher has shown so far. I will reevaluate that rating in the future if this update marks a renewed commitment to this title by the publisher.

Fix it.
Fix the assault auto if a 6 die and I’ll leave 5 stars.
It would be 5 stars
but you REALLY need to fix the bug where in assault both parties throw a 6 in the first roll, everytime. It is unacceptable for a boardgame, and I can’t see how it would be hard to fix.
The rest of the game is very nice, well done, very fun.

Buggy trash
This is an awesome implementation of HoN. But it has no support for bugs or new content. And on my iPhone the Assault rolls always come up 6 for both sides. Worthless until fixed.
Enjoyable
Fun World War 2 board game . I couldn't get the physical copy at the time. I'm glad they had a digital port. I later got the a physical copy once playing this for a while. They only negative is not seeing more of the expansions that are offered with the physical copy. I guess this wasn't a strong seller since the store hasn't been updated for a looooong time😩

Game Currently Broken
My game is broken, even after a deletion and re-load. In assault, both sides always roll a 6. It never changes. Looked on the company's forum and at least one other person has noted the same problem. Seems like something's stuck on their PRNG. I will revise review when it's fixed.
Awesome!
This game is rad and I love playing it. But can you please add notifications to multiplayer for when playing online? That would be awesome! Thanks!!
Surprised...
Been disappointed with other slitherine games on here, a lot of them, actually. Took me a long time to pull the trigger on this one, giving the price and size of it. Glad I did, they finally have a game I would recommend 😎...
Great game
This is a great war game ported from a board game to iOS. I'm playing it on an iPad and it's a lot of fun. I've been staring at it for a long time at the game store. I've wanted to play it for a long time but wasn't sure I could rustle up someone to play against me. Well, now I can play against the iPad. What I'd really like is "Shadows over Normandy." But HoN is a great game even if SoN never happens.

Outstanding!!!
I love the depth and complexity in this awesome strategy game. Just as an FYI-I spoke to Devs this morning and received a response/resolution within hours of reaching out to them. There may be some question as to if HoN is still in active deployment. I am not clear of what exactly is meant by 'active deployment' in the forums, but my experience with Slitherine has been outstanding. This a great game and I believe it is worth the price.

Excellent game!
This is an amazing recreation of the board game and a good port of the PC game. I personally think the text is perfectly legible on an iphone 7. The only thing I would ask for is more expansions and for the roguelike campaigns to have truly randomized maps and scenarios. Other than that, this is amazing!

Definitely not phone worthy, tablet yes.
Picked this up since I'm a huge fan of the board game and even have the PC version. Wanted to help get the family into it before we progressed to the tabletop.
On an iPhone 7 it's a crime with the font size interface by just attempting to view unit and card info with how small the information is displayed. No real excuse for it as I have plenty of games that have way more information that has to be called up with a tap and display perfectly as if I am looking at a physical playing card in my hand. For an iPad this game would rock.
I'm chalking this up as a handy cap on myself when I play with family and friends since I already know most the rules and can attempt to play it blind.

Crashing
Just purchased the game and it crashes when a game is loading, can I have my money back or fix it?
Meh
Insufficient help on setting up forces for DYO matches.
Game just doesn't translate well to tablet.

Fun.. but text WAY too small on iPhone
Seriously, the majority of the text is barely legible on an iPhone 7. The rest of the text is laughably microscopic. 20/20 vision here. Game seems like it would be fun - if I knew what was going on.
Fun...but...
I really enjoy this game. The graphics are good, game play is smooth and there is enough variety in units and cards to keep things interesting. However, I've run into two bugs that drop this from a five to a three. First, I ran into a problem in which I could not finish one of the campaign games. I would get to the scenario at the end of the allied campaign and the game would crash. Second, and more frustrating, is that, at time, when attempting to move a vehicle, the game locks up. It does not compete the move and I have to restart the app. I've only seen this with vehicles, although it may be a glitch that can affect any move. If these are fixed, I'll regrade the app. For now...okay, but needs a bit of work.

Almost there - needs another bug fix
This is a great game, and I have really enjoyed it, but there are still a few frustrating bugs. I have gotten to the final scenario of the U.S. Roguelike Campaign, and after I set everything up, the Ai starts to draw its cards, but then just sits there. The "Ai Cards Phase" never ends. I abandon the mission, then hit continue and it goes right back to the Ai Cards Phase. I've also had trouble with vehicles being placed just off the map and not being able to select the vehicle. Also, after my Marvin set was hit, his card now messes up the rest of the cards on the purchase screen (all jumbled up and unable to equip). Hope these bugs will be fixed in the next update.

Not really phone ready
Don't count on being able to read the text with the iPhone 6/s, the screen is too small. They could afford to make the text bigger
Update made it better
This is a fun adaptation of the board game. Only problem is my completed campaigns are not carried over to my phone from my iPad and vice versa.
