Dice are broken
There is something seriously wrong with the random number generator. Either it’s been hacked, or it has a problem. I suspect it has a problem. The dice are just too streaky. There are battles where almost everything hits, then battles where 20 dice don’t score a single hit. If this happens once or twice over the course of a few games, then it’s just wild luck, but it happens often. I get so frustrated, I just quit. (This is in online play, not the horrid AI)

Terrible Programming
So predictable. Either you get a suicidal opponent or the random number generator bends time/space to kill you.
Addictive…instructive
The ONLY place I’d recommend improvement is the dice don’t seem random.
Pretty but unplayable
After playing the board games for many years and being a very competitive player in the 90s, I had high hopes for this game. The following is written from playing solely in solo mode.
It is beautifully render and the UI is very good, unfortunately this is all I can say positively about it.
Two main problems - random numbers are way out of line. Either setup or deliberate, the sequences hit very rare results far to often. Far too many 1% to 0.001% statistical chances come up in battle, usually against the human players. Movement rolls are as vey suspect - way too many opening 5 or 2 mulligans following initial 2s or 5s.
Tactics are horrible. There is only so much the AIs can do in this type of app, however way to many sitting and letting the other side just shoot them with range strikers (especially warlocks) or striking at much less valuable targets that are just as or more harder to kill. Also tactics appear to have a few subtle differences between how the AI defends vs another AI or human player - example then AI regularly hangs its Titan on and edge front line position, but almost never does vs a human.
tl/dr; Can be fun…a little but I recommend you do not waste your time or funds on it if you seek a challenging (but not frustrating) or competitive experience.

Great Port of an Old Favorite
Indeed this is a fantastic port of an old favorite. Really catches the complex and nuanced rules of the board game, and by taking care of the bookkeeping games take a small fraction of the time the physical game would take. Graphics really capture the physical game, they look sharp and polished. Even the music and sound effects fit.
The AI tactics, even on max setting, do leave some to be desired. Very reckless with their Titans, so they elim over silly battles/moves that most human players would avoid. I haven't experienced any funny business with the dice, but just like IRL the dice/RNG can be frustrating. I'd still play/buy again, and I'd recommend to any fans of the game. 5 out of 5 for a $5 board game port.
