This game has me hooked! One of the best games I've ever played. A very straight to the point RPG board game. Bought the game and expansion on Nen. Switch. Bought the mobile version and all my content was on my device, just create profile.I want to rate it 5 stars so bad, but when I found out you can't save your online game that bummed the $h!+ out of me. Should be, where the host keeps the saved game and can switch from saving and ending the game, back to hosting and reconnecting live somehow.

I've never played the board game so I went in blind, and this was funner than I expected. On default rules the game takes forever, but this can be sped up with optional house rules, skipping animation on AI turns, and alternative win conditions (only two conditions come with the base game). EDIT: lowered from five to three. the games dice reroll system is clearly broken and not random.

Honestly, this game is quite fun if you play it solo or even hotseat pass and play is pretty decent implementation. However I can't give it a full five stars because of two issues that combine to make online play almost impossible. One, tabbing out of the app to switch to any other screen (text messaging client for instance) will disconnect the player from the game with no way I'm aware of to reconnect. Added to this is the worse of the two issues, which is the keyboard connection to the game is somehow messed up. It won't allow the use of backspace or enter keys. This breaks in game chat (which exacerbates the other issue, negating the ability to communicate with others while playing). This also breaks private server selection (since the name can't be changed, which is required for selecting the server). In a perfect world, the game wouldn't disconnect every time i switch to my text messaging client. It would also allow reconnection to the same game if I were disconnected. Since the games can take hours, it would also allow saving an online game in progress so it could be reconnected. I'd settle for fixing the keyboard, which would make the game painful and kludgey but at least playable online. My brother's iPhone has no issue with the keyboard. It's a very fun game, just a problematic implementation. Fix the bugs and I'll upgrade my review. And before you suggest it, I have filed a support ticket with Asmodee helpdesk.
