Everything and More

I played the board game version many times and I am a fan of the game. The app replicates the game perfectly and provides so much more. The art, which is a huge part of the theme, is beautifully rendered. Even more, the attention to detail adds to the thematic value as town buildings come to life when visited by a worker, your crew has a battle cry and the ships moving along the water simply put a smile on your face. The campaign mode is very enjoyable. Game flow is smooth as the app plays faster than the board version, which is great. If you enjoy the board game, you should have this app. Looking forward to seeing expansions!

Should be 5 Stars

But it is nigh near impossible to give them feedback. The in-game feedback feature always fails with an error saying you have a problem with your internet connection. And that crashes everything in the game. So I leave it at the error message telling me about my bad net connection and go to my other online games and none of them have any problems accessing my “bad” net connection. Obviously the game does something wrong internally.

I went to Renegade games and they had 3 ways to contact them. Twitter, Instagram, and email. I do not participate in either Instagram nor Twitter for personal reasons. That left email. Great. I select it and it brings up a list of email accounts. I select my icloud account and it wants my user is and apple id to login. I am reluctant, but figure I can reset my password once I leave my password, but they try to set up a new icloud account on my ipad which of course fails. I try again and it fails again. Fine.

I then use my other email provider, giving them my id and password along with the email’s server name. They can’t connect that way either. Jeimeny Chricket!

My final try was a link to the game designer. I thought maybe I could get my feedback to him. But the link was bogus! It went to a non-existent page or a broken link. Thanks Renegade Games! This lack of wanting feedback on their part knocked my review from a 5 to a 3!

All this and I never even told you what my feedback about the game was going to be!

Absolutely incredible implementation, Online Bug breaks it

Truly one of the best digital renderings of a game. Personally, Agricola is one of the best if you're looking for reference, as the world isn't just a board, but rather has actual living, moving, life-like breathing rhythm to it. Raiders is just like it, but with better art. The UI is buttery smooth, and pretty intuitive, so great job. (ok digital renderings include: through the ages, which just looks a little clunky, bad includes: scythe, terraforming mars pre-massive update)

However, not a 5⭐️ for 1 reason: somehow, a lot of the live games online fall out of sync, up to one player actually being able to finish the game while the other is starting at one player not taking their turn...when in fact, the entire game is occurring. Until they fix this, there's a 50-50 chance you're game is pointless. Considering how social gaming is, and how with iPad you can FaceTime and board game over distance, online play for digital games is really becoming hyper-critical. As soon as you fix this, this app will go in the hall of fame!
