But the timing is unclear, or rules adjudication, or perhaps bugs. Undo would go a long way to alleviating this pain. Example: Ninja’s secret attack subtracts your craft from enemy attack power. But it’s always -3, even if my craft is 4+ (it was 7). Finding that out changes my choices dramatically, but I cannot undo it, and it’s basically ruined that game. Example: Finger of Death, auto kill an enemy. I queue it, then go to attack a 10 craft bad guy. It DOESNT proc! I lose. Next turn, I hit a goblin. Guess what? Finger of death. Best undo system I’ve ever seen is the Sentinels of the Multiverse digital app. Thx! ### 3/5 — Suspect Diceroll *2026-02-10, version 39.01* I suspect singing fishy going on with the dice rolls as well. I came here looking if anyone noticed the same thing. Are the rolls or cards drawn predetermined with a seed or something? Using date to reroll the same number very often, or restarting a game to have you and the players with the same dice rolls for the first few turns… ### 2/5 — Buggy *2025-11-21, version 38.02* Love the game. Play on steam often. Mobile version is buggy. Dice rolls are intermittently incorrect. Shows 4 for you but 3 for others, etc.. Makes decisions impossible. Fun game, but mobile needs work. ### 2/5 — New Update *2025-10-06, version 38.00* After updating the app on iPad Air 2, the resolution of the screen is horrible. It made all the features sooo big, and descriptions of the cards went into the small tab on the bottom. All icons on the screen are enormous huge and this makes me decide wheter to play or not. :( reinstalling the app did not work. Please fix this. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Не рекомендую. Играйте в реальную версию, а не в это убогое … *2025-08-11* 1. Игру портит «подкручивание гаек» самой игрой. Игра не дает играть даже, если все игроки живые, ладно бы с ИИ только проворачивалось это недоразвитое подобие на игру. В основном всегда есть в партии «козел отпущения», который страдает больше всех. За это СПАСИБО команде разработчиков или менеджерам проекта … назову их просто рукожопыми имбецилами. 2. Куплены все допы, кроме доп. Героев, надо же проект поддерживать … а толку 0. Исправлять никто ничего не будет. Надежда на обновленную диджитал версию этой игры, с другой командой 🙏. Не советую покупать!!! Лучше поднимите пиратский флаг и оцените местное безумие. 3. В игре до сих пор не встречается корявый перевод карт и соответственно поломанные действия с ними (хотя их и не так много) 4. Игра в кубик, но очень увлекательная с неповторимыми сценариями проведения партии (но это не про диджитал версию). Кайфануть и посмеяться можно, но только тогда, когда «рандом» - действительно рандом, а не «гениальная идея💡» из дурки, усложнить игру, прикрепив к ней неадекватный ИИ 🤖. ### 4/5 — Ancora errori *2025-07-06, version 37.00* Gioco molto bello e completo ma ci sono ogni tanto ancora degli errori da correggere. Molte volte non si riesce ad accedere al portale oppure capita di selezionare un’espansione e il gioco parte senza. ### 2/5 — Sad *2025-04-16, version 37.00* Love the game but I bought the city expansion and it doesn’t work on the game, cataclysm worked fine but the city is glitched. It still won’t load. ### 4/5 — TURKİSH LANGUAGE *2025-02-14, version 37.00* Turkish language support needs to be added please..!! ### 2/5 — KI-Würfelglück einfach lächerlich *2025-02-06* Schade, könnte so ein schönes Spiel sein… ### 2/5 — Brak języka polskiego *2025-01-01, version 37.00* Gra na androida posiada język polski, jak zwykle Apple poszkodowane i jest go brak. ### 5/5 — I love this game!!! *2024-12-15, version 37.00* I think that so many more people should play this it’s a wonderful game and I’m looking forward to getting a physical copy. ### 3/5 — Good have been so good… *2024-11-19* I used to play Talisman a lot as a kid and this is just like I remember; the brilliant characters, the beautiful art work and the simplest of instructions. Fantastic. However, the problem with this is that the dice roles are clearly not random chance. The amount of times that I fight an enemy - be it with strength or craft - and I get a one, and my AI opponent a six. Then I use a fate, only to re-roll a one again. Now, I’m not at all a sore loser. The fun thing about Talisman was always just taking your chances in a fight, but the dice roles are just too predictable that it does take the fun away and makes it more frustrating. It’s a simple thing to sort, I would imagine. It’s just a shame, otherwise I’d have given 5/5. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rigged unless you spend money *2026-08-10, version 39.01* The game is rigged against you unless you spend money on expansions. The dice rolls, the AI players, the card draws, all of it is predetermined and will keep making you lose until you spend. It’s a shame because the original PC game was so much better than this cash grab trash. Absolutely hate that they’ve done this to what was a great game ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus *2026-05-03* Viel ipad, Viel OS, le jeu ne veut plus fonctionner lamgré mise a jour Triste ### 1/5 — 5th edition on mobile? *2026-01-14, version 39.00* Instead of milking fans for more money on classic version iOS! 24.99$ and removing classic steam version that you made free to play after us all paying you for it, publish 5th edition on mobile for us 😑 stop being bad to your fan base. ### 1/5 — Such a disappointment *2025-10-29, version 38.02* I tried downloading this game a couple years ago and ran into a bug where it would crash when I’m trying to open it… recently, I downloaded it hoping it would be better, but to my disappointment the same issues prevent me still from enjoying this game that I relished from childhood. ### 1/5 — se non fosse gratis non varrebbe i soldi *2025-06-17, version 37.00* Avendo anche la versione fisica del gioco posso confermare quanto siano inverosimili le partite contro il computer: giocatori che sono tutti contro di te e sembrano coalizzati fra di loro a farti perdere con ovviamente tiri di dadi che sono sempre superiori a 4 mentre i tuoi che forse ci arrivano al 4, infatti c’è un’evidenza nella non randomicità dei tiri, che sia contro gli altri giocatori o contro i nemici. Peccato perché il gioco è veramente bello ma è ingiocabile così, ti passa la voglia di continuare la partita dopo 10 round. ### 1/5 — Ok but time waster. *2025-04-29, version 37.00* The game plays and looks great . But AI cheats and glitches out. Waste of time play something else. ### 1/5 — Could have been so good… *2024-12-05, version 37.00* I used to play Talisman a lot as a kid and this is just like I remember; the brilliant characters, the beautiful art work and the simplest of instructions. Fantastic. However, the problem with this is that the dice roles are clearly not random chance. The amount of times that I fight an enemy - be it with strength or craft - and I get a one, and my AI opponent a six. Then I use a fate, only to re-roll a one again. Now, I’m not at all a sore loser. The fun thing about Talisman was always just taking your chances in a fight, but the dice roles are just too predictable that it does take the fun away and makes it more frustrating. It’s a simple thing to sort, I would imagine. It’s just a shame, otherwise I’d have given 5/5. Edit: Since writing this review I have played quite a bit more of Talisman to give it a chance. But ‘chance’ is what this game isn’t! It’s definitely fixed rolls. You lose all your objects - perhaps by being turned into a toad - and you can guarantee that before you get to your spot (in fact, very often the very next AI roll) another character rolls onto your spot and takes everything. If you try it yourself, the die just doesn’t give you your number. I played and experienced this many, many times. It’s easy to call what number will come up, both for your own and for the AI rolls. I have now dropped my initial score of 3/5 to just one star, because the game should be about ‘luck of the dice’, not ‘predictable dice’. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Too much bad luck *2024-10-29, version 37.00* The game is i like so much. But in digital version i think The game is controlled by its human program er behind it. The roll result that always damm disaster as if the game not let you win. Very terrible for this digital version again it’s terrible game. And it’s getting worst. I feel that you IT behind this game to make me always roll bad , your IT controlled the game and decide whatever result, I’m sure about this setting . Not naturally game process ### 1/5 — Псевдорандом. *2024-09-10* Кость определенным образом запрограммирована, в зависимости от места и кто ее бросает! Разработчики, кто это придумал, негодяи! ### 1/5 — Lost all DLC I paid for *2024-09-05, version 37.00* During changes from Asmodee to Nomad I have lost all my DLC collection (pretty full). Old client asked me to create Asmodee account and download new game client to transfer DLC but Restore Purchase option does nothing for me. If I recall correctly it is not the first time something like that happens so save your money and don’t buy any DLC unless you are ok with losing it once every 2 years or so. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and very replayable. *2026-01-02, version 38.02* The only issue is is it’s too easy if you get a bad card to close the game and return to the game right before your turn. I’m too tempted when I get a card that takes something very important of mine to just redo the roll by closing the game and restarting it. That’s it. That’s not even really a flaw of the game. That’s a flaw of myself. ### 5/5 — Excellente adaptation du jeu de plateau sur iPad ou MacBook *2025-12-25* Possibilité d’avoir le jeu et toutes ses extensions contrairement au jeu physique dont certaines extensions sont introuvables aujourd’hui Le jeu est excellent dans son genre et totalement aboutie dans sa 4ème édition. J’y joue depuis quelques années et n’a plus aucun bug malgré sa diversité. Félicitations aux développeurs qui sont de vrais passionnés. Dommage que la 5ème édition ne soit pas sur iPad ou macOS. ### 5/5 — A posséder absolument *2025-09-11* Un des meilleur jeu de l’AppStore, iPad Pro ### 5/5 — Mal gewinnt man, *2025-09-01* Mal verliert man. ### 5/5 — Bellissimo e complete *2025-08-21, version 37.00* Io ho il gioco fisico e tutte le sue espansioni, questa versione digitale è una alternativa pratica (niente pezzi e carte da rimettere a posto…) che permette di vivere l’esperienza di gioco completa senza dover giocare l’intera partita in una sola sessione, perché si può salvare e riprendere. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-07-08, version 37.00* The grafics are very good. ### 5/5 — Good Game! *2025-03-09, version 37.00* I recently had the pleasure of diving into Talisman Digital Edition on iOS, and I must say, it has been an absolutely delightful experience! This game is often underrated, but it truly deserves more recognition for its engaging gameplay and immersive fantasy world. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars Fully - Worth It!! *2025-01-23, version 37.00* Talisman is an enjoyable game against computers & PvP. It’s complex, fair for the most part, has you on edge or taking the lead in many games. The PVP online is perfect too. Even if you get kicked out it lets you rejoin pretty effortlessly. Only issue is you have to keep the app open to play tho if you’re playing this game. Other than that, Excellent! ### 5/5 — 5 *2025-01-17, version 37.00* Best board game ### 5/5 — Awaiting Digital 5th Edition *2025-01-10, version 37.00* Title says it all. It’s now 01-08-25 - let’s see Hope Long it arrives, so I can buy all the DLC for that version as I with this one, and the version prior. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
