### 5/5 — Expansions please!

*2024-11-06, version 1.2.2*

Amazing game!  Badly needs the two excellent expansions, please add them, they would be an auto-buy!

### 4/5 — Just needs expansions

*2024-10-21, version 1.2.2*

Great implementation of the board game.  Would really like to see the expansions available as add-ons

### 4/5 — Colorblind

*2024-09-24*

I like the premise of the game, it was challenging it made you think about strategies. My problem is that I’m colorblind and an important part of this game is being able to tell what colors of squares and dice.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2024-09-05*

This is an excellent port of the board game. It’s polish and faithful to the original.Now bring the monsters expansion!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your kind words! We really worked hard on making it smooth.

### 5/5 — One of the Best iOS Games

*2024-08-29*

This is a great game. Just buy it! 

I realize how difficult it would be but if there is any way you could make this portrait oriented that would be amazing , as it is really a one-handed game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! When we started making the game, we actually put a lot of effort into trying to make it portrait oriented. We wanted to make the decision making process easy, so that all necessary info for making a decision is visually presented while you're making a decision and we just couldn't find a way to do that in a portrait orientation. Best regards!

### 4/5 — Good game, but needs Monsters and Minions expansion

*2024-08-28*

This game is an amazing adaptation and the digital version is great, but suffers from the same problem as the base game: it really needs an expansion to flush out some of the weaker aspects. I sincerely hope that the monsters and minions expansion is being worked on!

### 5/5 — Superbe adaptation

*2024-08-14*

Une adaptation parfaite du jeu de plateau.

### 5/5 — Fantastic streamlining of a unique game.

*2024-08-13*

Really love the implementation of the base game. One of the few apps I prefer over the physical game. Really hope to see the Monsters and Minions expansion added as an in app option.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-05-06*

Really love this game. Would like the expansions to play as well!

### 5/5 — Thumbs up

*2024-05-05*

Favorite app so far. I hesitated on buying the board game for a long time, and I am very satisfied with this alternative. I’ve completed 6 games in the 12 hours or so since I downloaded it. Each class offers different challenges, and I don’t imagine getting bored with this any time soon. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great digital version, add expansions

*2024-04-06*

I love playing this game I just wish we could get the expansion packs too!

### 5/5 — Great game!  Please release the expansions!

*2024-04-06*

Pretty please?

### 4/5 — Expansion please!

*2024-03-26*

A nice implementation, but (like the board game), it requires the expansion material to really shine. Will the Devs be working on this?

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-07-23, version 1.2.2*

Who would spend money on this?

### 1/5 — Games disappear

*2024-03-15, version 1.2.0*

While the presentation of the game is great, they have a serious problem with asynchronous games just disappearing half way through. This has happened 2 out of my last 5 games.

### 2/5 — Fun, but Fatally Flawed.

*2024-01-29*

On one hand, it’s a fantastic adaption of an already established, amazing board game - on the other, there’s a consistent bug making the game to crash when playing in online private games, causing everyone to lose all progress and the private room to disappear. 

Hard to rate higher when we can barely finish 1/4 online games we start! 
With this bug/crash fixed, it would be an easy 5 Star recommendation.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your reply! We are sorry you are experiencing these problems, we weren't aware of them. Would you be willing to describe this crash so we can pin-point it and fix it as soon as possible? You can send us an email at rollplayer@mipmap.hr or you can join our discord and contact us there (https://discord.gg/88bzWZ5Z)

### 2/5 — Way too complicated

*2023-07-05*

From reading the other reviews, I’m sure most people will disagree with me. But I found this game to be way too complicated. And the tutorial didn’t help a whole lot. I went through it twice, and I’m still confused.

 I had a much easier time learning how to play chess.

**Developer response:** We're sorry the game didn't work out for you and that tutorial didn't really help. The goal is to create the best possible character through many long-term strategic decisions. It can indeed be overwhelming at times. Feel free to reach out to our community at discord https://discord.gg/TbApr3WMnD We will gladly help with any questions you have.

### 2/5 — Overpriced

*2023-01-10, version 1.0.1*

It’s not bad but I regret the purchase. It’s very overpriced for what it offers. I would pay 5$ for this game max. Replayability is fairly limited.

### 2/5 — Wow not for me

*2023-01-02, version 1.0.1*

Honestly I just regret buying it. I’ve been waiting for a dumb down version of d and d this is not it. Overly complex for no reason.

### 3/5 — Expansiones

*2026-02-11, version 1.2.2*

¿Y para cuándo las expansiones de este juegazo? Hace más de un año dijeron que “en breve” saldría la primera… Y aún esperando…

### 4/5 — Good implementation

*2026-07-30*

Cool implementation of the board game. The solo mode works very well!

### 4/5 — Solid adaptation; needs Minions and Monsters

*2025-08-18, version 1.2.2*

This is a great adaptation of the base game; that said the Minions and Monsters expansion elevates this to a truly solid and repayable game. They need to add this ASAP.

### 4/5 — Super

*2024-12-27*

Fidèle au jeu de plateau. Il manque le français mais qui n’est pas trop gênant et surtout les extensions qui apportent plus de profondeur au jeu.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this game!!!

*2026-02-10*

Absolutely love this game. I played it a couple of times and immediately went and purchased a physical copy and both expansions. 

I hope the digital version gets the expansions in the near future!

### 5/5 — Great iOS game

*2025-10-05*

Fun and cheap for the experience

### 5/5 — I want more : add and French translation

*2025-06-20*

Good good

### 5/5 — Fun, fun, fun

*2025-05-25, version 1.2.2*

I’m loving every part of this game

### 5/5 — Expansions

*2025-04-03*

I love roll player ! I wish we could get some of the expansions! They improve the physical game and give more options for the characters.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-02-16, version 1.2.2*

Really love this game. Would like the expansions to play as well!

### 5/5 — Needs customization, otherwise fantastic

*2025-02-12*

This is a fun strategy game that depends upon a little luck. It takes a bit of time to understand the mechanics if you’re not familiar with the board game, but it’s worth the effort. The only drawback is the inability to choose your character when playing the AI. It’s frustrating. Other games that start with random assignments allow choice in their online versions (7 Wonders comes to mind). Why not increase the players’ satisfaction by allowing us to customize our starting characters? It’s a frustrating aspect of an otherwise perfect game.

### 5/5 — Fun Game when do we get the expansion set?

*2025-01-25*

Lots of fun and my fav to play these games that I don’t have time in RL and happy to play the $10 but can we also get the expansion set? Waterdeep was similar and they managed both expansion sets!

### 5/5 — Awesome adaptation of the boardgame

*2025-01-06*

This game gives you plenty of solid practice to play the original tabletop with your friends on game night.

Very much looking forward to the Fiends & Familiars expansion in-app purchase. Please.

### 5/5 — Great implementation

*2024-11-13, version 1.2.2*

This is a great implementation of Roll Player. Clean and efficient. Dear devs, any plans to add the expansions?
