  • stability
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting significant bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay, such as freezing during tile selection and issues with team randomization.

    • “Was perfect before, now the AI actively tries to lose, can't tell what each of the tiles do (I only know how because of loads of experience playing the game when it was good) and super buggy (quick game doesn't randomize team, cannot play with more than 2 players, and on and on).”
    • “The game looks better and would perform better if it weren't for a bug that freezes the game during tile selection.”
  • replayability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Faithful to the board game, great replay value, hope for multiplayer in the future.”
    • “Fast turns, deep mechanics, and strong replay value.”
    • “Though it's fun, the game is very stagnant and needs to offer more replayability to be worth the money, especially with how expensive the extra armies are.”

  • optimization
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting significant performance issues, particularly on tablets and certain Android devices. While some updates have improved responsiveness, others have introduced new glitches and lag, leading to a frustrating experience for players. The game is not well-optimized for smaller screens, and further improvements are needed to enhance gameplay across all devices.

    • “Game performance on ICS after the latest update is a huge improvement.”
    • “This is a great board game, and the app looks great and runs smoothly.”

    • “Unfortunately, the Android version has major performance issues.”
    • “I really love this game, but it's not optimized for tablets (my Asus Transformer TF300T zooms it to fill the screen, creating some bad visuals), and I don't like to play against AIs.”
  • monetization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with users expressing frustration over the loss of previously purchased DLC armies and the perception that the latest updates serve as a cash grab. Despite being a paid app, much of the content remains locked behind additional in-app purchases, leading to dissatisfaction among players who feel they are being double charged for content they already owned.

    • “Go to play today and the entire app has been revamped and the armies I purchased as DLC are gone. Now the game description says there are only 4 armies. The description mentions in-app purchases, and I am going to be made to purchase the armies I already got again.”
    • “Also lost all my additional factions I've already paid for, and no real improvement with the latest updates. Save your money from this cheap cash grab.”
    • “Despite being a paid app, most of the game is still locked down by in-app purchases.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its clever AI interactions, such as the amusing scenario where players can face off against the same randomly selected army. Reviewers appreciate the game's ability to blend deep strategy with comedic elements, particularly noting how the AI humorously collaborates against the player in multiplayer modes. Overall, the game is praised for its superb implementation of humor within its strategic gameplay.

    • “Also, hilariously, the game will let you, after selecting random armies, play against the same army.”
    • “Perfect gameplay and funny AI.”
    • “Superb implementation of a very funny (while deep) strategy game.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game may have some minor control issues, players find it emotionally engaging, as it allows for deeper connection and understanding of each piece through the informative "info mode." This feature enhances the overall experience, making the game feel more immersive and meaningful.
