### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-19, version 2.6.5*

Get my Titan fix.  I played back in the day but don’t have a physical copy. This is fun

If you liked the board game, buy this

### 1/5 — Dice are broken

*2025-05-08, version 2.6.5*

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)

### 1/5 — Terrible Programming

*2025-03-17, version 2.6.5*

So predictable. Either you get a suicidal opponent or the random number generator bends time/space to kill you.

### 5/5 — Addictive…instructive

*2023-07-11, version 2.6.5*

The ONLY place I’d recommend improvement is the dice don’t seem random.

### 1/5 — Pretty but unplayable

*2023-01-11, version 2.6.5*

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.

### 5/5 — Great Port of an Old Favorite

*2022-12-18, version 2.6.5*

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.

### 2/5 — Wow the dice

*2022-01-21, version 2.6.5*

This is one of my top three board games of all time. I’ve played for decades now and want so much to love this app. Indeed, it is very well done and captures the game well. But there’s one major problem…the die rolling algorithm. I’ve debated with people about this problem so many times, but people either don’t understand statistics well or just don’t want to know. The people who do know statistics will claim that the dice are evenly distributed throughout the game. Yes, look at the die roll counters at the end of the game and it appears that way. But in the middle of the game the dice get “stuck.” You roll abnormally high counts of the same number, and it causes you to either win big or lose big. Unfortunately I seem to be on the side of the lose big too often. No, I don’t think the game is out to get me or that there is anything sinister in the algorithm…that’s just the way it goes, but it’s caused me to ragequit and delete the app for years. I then come back and it’s the same issue over and over and over again. One great recent example: my Archangel against a Serpent. The Archangel completely misses the serpent (9 rolls only needing 2’s, roll all 1s) and the Serpent kills my Archangel with one hit (18 rolls needing 6s, got 10). This is a strategy game that does have a luck element; however, strategy should beat luck the majority of the time. Sure, you’ll lose the occasional battle by luck, and that’s fine. But when it happens over and over and over and over and over again…that’s frustrating and just plain no fun. For those that doubt, keep track of ALL die rolls in the game for all players for three games. Don’t just look at the end results, look at what happens in EACH battle. That’s where you’ll notice the huge number of statistical anomalies, not just seeing things average to the mean in the end. Averaging to the mean doesn’t mean fair, particularly if one person rolls an overload of 1s, 2s, and 3s and the other rolls an overload of 4s, 5s, and 6s. Looks average in the end but obviously is not. If you don’t collect your own evidence to see this in action then please don’t comment that the die rolling is fair. It’s easy to see that it is not.

### 5/5 — Excellent rendition of the classic.

*2021-12-30, version 2.6.5*

This game has been out for a while but it’s solid and won’t grow old. I like it more than the original because the app takes care of the management tasks thus speeding up the game quite a bit. Super to play against others at your pace: Play your turn when you’re ready to play unless playing a timed version on a live board. One can play solo as well. The toughest ai opponents could be a little stronger but will still provide a good challenge. Can multiple games and versions simultaneously.

### 5/5 — Favorite board game from childhood in digital for

*2021-10-24, version 2.6.5*

AI for all but one of the software opponents are not challenging.  OW outstanding.

### 2/5 — I would have given this app 5 stars, BUT…

*2021-10-01, version 2.6.5*

The dice rolling algorithm really is that bad! Most of the time, damage for the round (not individual rolls, but all the attacks for one side) is either extremely high or extremely low. Average damage for the round is the exception rather than the norm. I could give numerous examples. They are not hard to come by. They occur in every game, almost every battle. 

It’s really a shame that the dice rolling is SO off, because the rest of the is outstanding. Well, not quite. The AI is very weak. But I can overlook that because of the online games with other players.

If you can deal with the mind blowing results of a horrible dice rolling algorithm, give it a try. But don’t be surprised when the dice don’t act anything like you would expect.
