### 4/5 — AI needs to play smarter at high Gems

*2023-11-03*

This is a faithful reproduction of the card game, and the graphics are beautiful.

What is disappointing is the AI players fail to attack a runaway leader. For example, if 3 players are hovering at 10 gems and one is above 20, the AI players don’t start attacking the 20+ gems player. They carry on, attacking whatever player or players they previously attacked. If they hit the runaway leader, they will split their attack with another player (AI or Human) rather than focusing on the runaway leader.

Otherwise, really like the game.

### 3/5 — Issues with App

*2023-07-14*

I love this game and have been playing for years now. Unfortunately, the app does log you out with error messages accessing the server often. Things that would enhance this app would be the ability prompt other players to take their turn or an option to extend the game if all players agree because a lot of times opponents time out or have time expire. Some pre written messages to other players would also be a fun add as long as they are scripted/not negative.

### 3/5 — Fun game but keeps crashing

*2023-04-11, version 1.01a*

Enjoy the game but app regularly crashes and you have to restart your game once it crashes.

### 3/5 — Amazing Game - App won't stop crashing

*2022-07-21*

This game is great, definitely my favorite deck-building card game. 
My first time playing was with real cards in person. This app runs pretty smooth and saves so much time with automated counting and drawing! 

However, it crashes. All. The. Time.

I'm on an iPhone SE with iOS 14.6
So far it crashes basically when anything else happens on my phone:
-Whenever I get a text while playing
-When I get a low battery pop-up
-When I open iPhone control center 

And it crashes a lot when I hit "Next Game" to cycle between my active games.

Other than that pretty solid 👍🏼

### 2/5 — Still start up crash(((

*2022-07-14*

Guys please fix it!

### 2/5 — Abandoned game?

*2022-03-20*

Great deck building game but it looks abandoned for years. Where are the expansions?

### 3/5 — Update?

*2022-02-10, version 1.01a*

Enjoy the game but wish I could play with friends and AI at the same time. Unfortunately the game doesn’t progress if you try to do this. :(

### 3/5 — Wish it Worked

*2021-12-19*

I wish I could give this game 5 stars.

I have been playing this game addictively for the past few months, but recently it has stopped working. Every time I load the game it crashes as soon as I press the play online button or try to create an offline game. I have tried reinstalling it, but still nothing.

I have an iPhone 7plus so maybe my old phone is part of the problem? 

I hope the developers fix it. Such a fun game.

### 3/5 — Lots of bugs

*2021-12-14, version 1.01a*

The game crashes regularly and kicks you offline. Would love to see some updated support. Other than that it’s pretty solid

### 4/5 — Excellent jeu

*2021-05-24*

Le jeu est vraiment top, rapide nerveux mais quelques bugs assez pénibles. Des freezes avec l'ia et en ligne le jeu se ferme. Je suis sur iPad mini 4.

### 3/5 — Good UI, but freezes and impossible bot

*2021-03-09*

Nice graphics and UI, but for $7.99, I expected a bit better. Freezes on medium level every few games. It hasn’t been updated in over a year so probably won’t get fixed.

Plus the medium level is a huge leap in difficulty over easy (as in un-winnable). I’ve played 50+ games on the app, and lost 10 in a row to the bot. Doesn’t seem very reasonable. But hey, that’s what one gets when playing a near perfect computer...

So about $8 will get you some entertainment before probably deleting and looking elsewhere

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cher pour le contenu

*2025-05-28*

J’ai payé 9€ pour acquérir ce jeu. Ni les cartes ni le tutoriel ne sont traduits en français. Le lien pour télécharger les règles amène à une « page non trouvée ».
En atteignant les 30 points de maîtrise le jeu se bloque.
La dernière mise à jour a remonte à 6 ans.

Pour ce prix on s’attend à vraiment beaucoup mieux.

### 1/5 — It would be nice if it functioned

*2024-11-09, version 1.01a*

Sorry I paid for it.

### 1/5 — Lack of challenge and to many bugs online

*2024-11-09*

The AI is too easy, only plays fast-play which make them too easy to beat
The game closes every time you try to start an online game 
There are no alert when a real opponent played their turn so you end up losing the opportunity to play an actual game, and there is no way to contact said players to inform them of your intention to play
Please fix it could be an awesome game

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2024-10-14, version 1.01a*

I love shards of infinity but the app is very below average. Out of nowhere I stopped receiving notifications when it was my turn. I deleted the app and reinstalled. Not only did that not solve my notification issue, it didn’t save my current games. I had to recreate an online account which was very irritating.

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2024-10-08, version 1.01a*

Every time I click to play an online game with friends or strangers, and click to enter the game, the app crashes

### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing on newest iOS version

*2022-12-20, version 1.01a*

Hi! This game keep crashing on the newest iOS version. It looks like it hasn’t been updated in three years … could you please fix the crashes that keep happening?

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately for online play.

*2022-01-13, version 1.01a*

I love the game but when I click online play it crashes instantly.  Worked great until today.

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately online

*2022-01-01, version 1.01a*

Great game, suddenly crashes whenever online play is open. Unplayable.

### 1/5 — Love this game, don’t buy it.

*2021-10-01*

I have the hard copy of this game as well as this. For a small deck building game, it is fantastic. The phone version has that same great energy when playing and generally feel it is well done. Biggest complaint right now is the lack of expansions and support. The one that says “coming soon” has been that way for about two years.  It appears there is no support since then based on the last round of comments and update for the game.  The base game is great, but the expansion makes it even better.  It needs it.  I would say don’t buy this due to the lack of activity from the developers.  That expansion is probably not going to come out.  Spend your money on the hard copy instead.

**Developer response:** Hard AI has been improved with the latest patch, let us know what you think of it!  And we'll get working on the expansion as soon as we can.  Thanks for the review!

### 1/5 — AI Cheats

*2021-09-29*

So this rating is not because of the overall functionality of the app. Pass and play is great. Online play is decent. Overall it is a pretty slick little app for a good game.

This complaint is exclusively about the AI. It cheats. At first I wasn’t sure but over time I have documented and kept track. The AI are not constrained by the actual rules of the game. They are given extra resources, allowed to draw extra cards without anything in the game that says they may, allowed to advance their power level without any cards to do so, etc. It becomes impossible to beat them because they are at an unbelievable advantage.

It will do this for seven games in a row on the hard AI. You will lose every single one of those seven games. Then on the eighth, ninth, or 10th, you are going to win two out of three. I have documented this pattern at least 50 separate times.

And this means that it is actually very difficult to genuinely improve at the game using the AI.

 Please fix this. It’s awful.

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-09-24*

Le jeu de société est top, le portage est très bon, on peut même jouer à deux. J’espère que les extensions sortirons

### 5/5 — Keep coming back…

*2024-12-30, version 1.01a*

Lots of great new turn-based card games out there, but I keep coming back to this one!

### 5/5 — Excellent jeu

*2024-08-22*

La seule raison de ne pas télécharger l’appli, est si vous voulez éviter d’y passer trop de temps
Ce jeu est génial ! Une fois qu’on a compris la mécanique, on y prend beaucoup de plaisir
L’appli vaut largement son coût, malgré quelques bugs occasionnels
Vivement les extensions ! :)

### 5/5 — Needs expansion

*2023-12-25, version 1.01a*

Great game and solid app, but we need the expansion which is long overdue.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2023-07-16, version 1.01a*

Shards is a great game that is fun and interactive. I love that I can play with my buds online

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2023-05-24*

I play this game a ton.  Wish there were the other expansions to play as well.  Haven’t had issues with bugs on my iPhone.  

It would be nice to be able to say who goes first when playing the computer.

### 5/5 — Here’s my money… give me DLC!

*2021-09-20*

Great game, and will be a classic once there are some more DLCs, achievements, etc. Well done, developers!

### 5/5 — Expansion?

*2021-08-29*

The promised expansion is the only thing lacking in this game.  The game is put together beautifully and the play dynamic is incredible.

Its to bad this game seems to have been abandoned by Temple Gates, otherwise it would have really taken off

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2021-01-15*

Rien à dire, un très bon jeu, dynamique, intéressant, à acheter les yeux fermés

### 5/5 — Excellent deck-builder

*2020-07-14, version 1.01a*

Fun and fast game. Deep tactics and AI is a worthy opponent.
