| 2024-12-04 |  | | It's a beautiful game but it has a scoring error. The "Most Settlements" scoring is displayed incorrectly and the app frequently messes up determining who has the most settlements. You'll either have to reboot until it doesn't use that tile or score the game by hand to compensate for the bad coding. |
| 2023-12-27 |  | | First impression: bad tutorial, too busy UI, not possible to get info on what is depicted (no hoover tooltip). Only suitable for people that already know how to play this game. I now find no fun in this game as it is unclear to me how you play it. Wasted money. For people looking for good digital adaptations of board games: try Raiders of the North Sea or Root. |
| 2023-10-24 |  | | Update: They migrated to a new server so I'm giving this game another chance, but $10 is still pretty steep. Hopefully they'll decide to enroll in Play Pass. Original Review: Desperately needs polishing and bug squashing. There are regular game breaking time out issues in multiplayer. Online and ranked games seem to stick on the AI, which forces the following player to time out and loose the game. UI is clunky. |
| 2023-05-30 |  | | I must have played literally hundreds of games on the app by now - but only against the AI, not online opponents. But nearly always it is a brilliant game, a great app. I really wish they'd add the latest shipping/trading extension into the app though, that would be amazing! |
| 2023-03-07 |  | | AI, even on the easiest setting, is nearly impossible to defeat as all the characters gang up on you and you are forced to pick the last bonus card every time. I have not even been able to figure out how to start an online game yet. I keep getting a message to update the que or something. Anyway, online play also should not be this complicated. For a game that's very fun to play in person this app is a huge let down. |
| 2022-10-19 |  | | 1* for visibility. I just got a Pixel 7 with OS 13. Terra Mystical did not transfer over. It's not available in the Play Store for me to download. Please update so it's available on the latest OS. This is one of my all-time favorite boardgames. I love playing this on my phone for practice. |
| 2021-07-27 |  | | The game is a good implementation, but the support is non existent when giving feedback for bugs during game play. The AI is very bad so solo play is not fun. It lacks options for alternate times per turn, so games can last a very long time (three days per move) |
| 2020-11-29 |  | | I don't normally leave 1 star reviews, but I did pay $10 for this, so it needs to be seen. I'm brand new to the game, but I think I understand the rules enough. There's a bug with terraforming; I have the option to choose it as an action, and then I choose the land that's highlighted and when I do, I'm not able to choose the land on the spades screen. All the lands or some of them are not selectable. Please fix this and other game breaking bugs people have mentioned. In 2 Easy AI opponent game. |
| 2020-11-24 |  | | Very frustrating. The app often wants to trash my power (purple cubes) even when I have the resources to take an action. The AI gets insanely high scores and it's difficult to follow how they are doing it as there's no explanation of points being awarded. It seems like the AIs never run out of resources. Between being robbed of power and the lowest level AIs earning 20-25 points per turn it's hard to escape last place. The tabletop game isn't 1/4 as difficult. |
| 2020-09-23 |  | | The overall experience is great against AI. It loses 2 stars for the following: 1. When given the option to take purple mastery in exchange for VP, you cannot view the board. My decision might be affected if there is an action still available to turn in for the mastery. 2. When playing online, I run out of time while waiting for an opponent. Why is my time affected by an opponent? I have "played" 5 online games, but never even gotten past set up because time runs out on someone elses turn. |
