Terra Mystica for Negative User Reviews

✓ Playing with friendSo, no doubt, the game is hard! However, when the majority of your games with friends get hung because AI players are unresponsive, it just makes it worse. I also have to quit the game and come back when it says I have moves, but when I choose the move, it says none are valid, and the undo button doesn’t work. I am enticed by the game, but there’s work to be done on this app..@Mutant1!Version: 1.64

✓ Nice adaptation that sometimes doesn’t workThis app looks great and simplifies the action in a game that some find fairly complex. I really enjoy it! I’m currently in a game with one human player and two AI opponents and we’ve been waiting for the AI to take its turn for roughly 20 hours. I have to assume the issue is server based, but there isn’t any indication in the app that anything is wrong anywhere. Update: Now that AI has completely exhausted his time and there does not appear to be any mechanism for removing him from the game..AlfredbandVersion: 1.56

✓ Unplayable on iPad Air 2Preface this by saying this is a great game and a good start at a solid implementation. However, one of the updates a few weeks ago broke the game on my iPad. It logs in to Game Center but fails connecting to the Digidiced network, saying the user is not authenticated. The game works fine on my iPod, and I've gone back and forth with the developers, but none of their suggestions worked. (I've logged out of GC, rebooted the iPad, deleted and reinstalled the app, etc.) Now they seem to have stopped responding..MisterdoVersion: 1.24

✓ This is a Beta buildThis is a massive fail of epic proportions non stop buggy mess, par for the course for this company.Xwing fanVersion: 1.33

✓ Computer APRound 4 and computer will not end it's turn. My first game. Have closed and reloaded. Computer takes it's turn again (not always doing the same move) but it will not end its turn. It is not frozen as I can still access the in game menus. Will try a new game..Shadwell1972Version: 1.04

✓ Not iPhone X compatiblePlease make iPhone X compatible!.TRDubVersion: 1.41

✓ Love this game, but this app isn’t worth the moneyI love this game, the UI is beautiful and true to the game. HOWVER, the interface makes it nearly impossible to play with others. App doesn’t connect regularly with server and freezes claiming you need to login. It’s an app problem not a login problem. I’m in game center. Worse yet, the app bugs out sometimes even when playing solo and you can no longer read the text unless you restart... which takes way too long to load. The app looks great, but the app isn’t worth the money for the bugs. Play online for free instead. The developer responded saying things like my phone is probably too old and needs to be restarted once a week at least. For the record I have a new iPhone8. The fact of the matter is if the game is such a memory hog, maybe it’s the app and not the user. I don’t have the same amount of lag or difficulties with any other GameCenter games..AkismetooVersion: 1.54

✓ Can’t complete tutorialThe third tutorial freezes on the upgrade dwelling screen. Unable to proceed beyond this point. And it seems that I need to have a Gamecenter account to report this bug from within the game..Eek55Version: 1.56

✓ Stuck on LOADING screenWhat gives? I paid $4.99 for this and I can’t even play the game..Guitarnoob73Version: 1.64

✓ Current version cant play ranked gamesI get a coding error when selecting “ranked game”..Level_upVersion: 1.33

✓ It’s okay, but it has plenty of problemsI love Terra Mystica, but this app does has its problems. The AIs take like five minutes to move sometimes. It’s frustrating because it shouldn’t take that long. Also, I keep having to restart the game because it keeps bugging out. I really do love this game but it needs to work out its bugs so the game runs smoother. I would do a five stars for the game itself but three stars because of the app. Please fix it developers :(.Renee M. W.Version: 1.64

✓ DRAGONLORDS BUG. DEVS PLEASE FIXFor some reason this game will not let dragonlords have zero power tokens and therefore dragonlords can never use there last power token. The class is completely unusable until this bug is fixed..PJ GibbinsVersion: 1.64

✓ Buggy game, won’t allow terraform and build at the same time.I can use the 4 power special action to terraform and build but the game won’t allow me to terraform and build using workers. Totally breaks the game. Unplayable..RsuryaseVersion: 1.56

✓ So many bugs...Great board game but IOS version sadly unplayable due to large amount of bugs. Only had the game a couple of days and discovered Mermaids special not working, shipping not calculating correctly, trading posts wrongly getting reduced discount and priests disappearing permanently when used for +1. I'm sure I will find more..Le DavreVersion: 1.06

✓ How do you get a refund?As the title says, I want a refund. I’ve never played the game before, and dutifully started to go through the Tutorials. Second one in, THE SECOND ONE, I find a bug that doesn’t let me click on the left hand bar with all the tile icons. I need to do so to progress the tutorial. I tried everything to reset the game, and get the tutorial to work, and nothing. I’ve read that the actual board game is great. Maybe with my refund I’ll go and buy that. But I definitely don’t want to continue with a game that bugs out in the second tutorial..Texan gamingVersion: 1.55

✓ Great app but recent bugsRecently I've been unable to start casual games with a friend (both with and without fire & ice features). When the game was working, it was fantastic with great AI. Hopefully the bugs get fixed soon!.AntiqueShowVersion: 1.38

✓ UnableTo support iPhone X.How can you have had so many updates and still not support iPhone X? And you continue to charge $10 for this?.Srobin16Version: 1.42

✓ 3 stars for effortThis is a great board game, and I'm sure it's pretty complicated to port it to iOS. They clearly tried really hard. But it has a lot of glitches and mistakes that make it fairly unsatisfying. In an ideal world, $9.99 would buy you a finished game, but it feels more like a late beta version. There's even a bug report feature, which I've been using. I assume they will finish it soon and upgrade us early buyers. They'd better..Huck the DogVersion: 1.04

✓ 1.21H hotfix broke gameThis has been an excellent game, but the latest hotfix has rendered the game unplayable. The dialogue boxes for playing dwellings no longer pop up..ChryxVersion: 1.21

✓ Tutorial doesn’t work (iPad 2018)Cannot complete the 4th tutorial because window does not appear. Spotted two spelling mistakes as well... very poor for a £10 game.ThelastblipVersion: 1.52

✓ Please fix support for MacIn a previous version the iPad version of this app ran perfectly fine on an M1 Mac. After the recent update the app now crashes on launch. Please reinstitute support as this is my preferred way to play offline..DomoHomoVersion: 2.1

✓ Notifications Not WorkingGame has been fine until recently. I no longer receive notifications when it is my turn, which means I have to constantly check the app instead of being notified. Will there be a fix for this?.Sull0295Version: 1.64

✓ Fantastic game, terrible appTerra Mystica is a wonderful board game. It has myriad ways to victory, interesting abilities and the right balance of personal conquest versus competitive disruption. If I were reviewing the board game, it would be an easy 5 stars, but I'm reviewing the app—a 10-dollar download that has the polish and feel of free-to-play shovelware. In attempting to play a game with friends, we first encountered the issue that the app uses an outdated and unsupported social structure in Game Center. The user experience in trying to add friends is rocky at best. Email addresses are not accepted, and the interface makes it difficult trying to accomplish what should be a straightforward task, and we were met with further problems as we wrestled with poor-quality English in the app's interface. Be prepared to exit and rejoin your game dozens upon dozens of times before it's over. The alerts come late (or not at all), it frequently hangs at the login screen for indefinite spans of time, and sometimes makes no attempt to connect to the server, leaving you clueless when it's your turn to go. Sometimes it even requests a re-connect, even when it doesn't need to (?). It was always going to be a challenge to get the complexity of Terra Mystica into such a compact format. I respect the size and difficulty of the task. However, for 10 dollars, we should expect much, much better..Gaijin BrianVersion: 1.24

✓ Vs AI is brokenWhen playing vs. AI, the AI is allowed to pass and choose the same bonus card it had chosen during the previous round- this privilege is not extended to the human players, is against the rules and gives a huge advantage to the AI..IcecreamtacoVersion: 1.56

✓ Errors make this a frustrating experienceI have run across two final scoring tiles in the expansion that did not work properly. Like the app otherwise but get the rules of the game correct please!.Jatrump4563Version: 1.56

✓ Newest Update Broke GameI had previously been playing the Fire and Ice content, and the newest update failed to restore my purchase. If they fix this I will update rating to 5*..John, GeorgetownVersion: 1.52

✓ Fun game but suffers from major bugsTerra Mystica is my favorite board game and love that there's a app, but as of this version, it suffers from some pretty significant bugs that sometimes make it impossible to finish games. In the last game I tried to play just now, I suddenly could no longer upgrade my buildings despite having plenty of resources. In the same game I was prompted to pick a favor tile (the first for the game) and the one I chose would not work. My player icon appeared and the confirmation checkmark vanished, disallowing me to select it. All other favor tiles seemed to work fine. Also in the same game I won a free shovel at the end of a round but had nowhere I could use it because I was out of resources. The game would not let me cancel and I was forced to exit and restart the game to continue. Hopefully after I submit these bugs in the app they'll get fixed because it's frustrating to not be able to properly play every game :(.KiddaileyVersion: 1.31

✓ Currently unplayable.Every time I open the app, an error occurs and says I need the most current version of the app to play online, and then the interface becomes unresponsive. I just updated to the newest version..Scott SimonsVersion: 1.10

✓ Online play is unreliable and unforgivingAgree with the still buggy complaint. There have been a lot of updates and happy to see improvements, but our group has yet to successfully complete an online game without at least one player getting converted to AI. I think there are a couple of problems. First, it appears that sometimes the status gets stuck until you swipe to hard close the app and come back in. Maybe this is a game center bug, but slows down the game. Second, a 24 hour window until you get converted to AI permanently is too short and pretty harsh. Especially when the status appears to be stuck at times. How about just converting to AI for that turn? At least that would let you recover from these apparent online bugs without completely abandoning a game or making one of your friends wait for weeks until the next game..Electronic EagleVersion: 1.28

✓ Little improvements and polishing can be doneI feel like more people would be willing to queue into ranked fast games if people could see from the main menu how many people are already queued up..SuperEpicGamerVersion: 1.33

✓ Fix the notification system please!Love the game but fix the notification system so I know when its my turn!.Tom the MuteVersion: 1.33

✓ Started using their notifications to send adsI allowed notifications to know when it's my turn, and now they're using them to send ads for other games!?!.ProShot2020Version: 1.56

✓ GlitchyI purchased this app due to endless reviews about how great it was. I have never played before and was excited to go through the tutorial. Well, the tutorial froze in the basics section and now I have a $10 app I don’t know how to play. I’ve restarted, logged off and on, updated my software and it keeps freezing in the same section every time. “Please tap the left bar” I tap the entire screen and nothing happens..Mads DiazVersion: 1.54

✓ Terra MysticaAt first I thought the digital implementation was good. But having played many many games I began to notice the AI cheating. I have recorded this as video for anyone interested. No matter what race is being played by the AI, every now and again it will move a marker up the cult tracks without paying a priest cost. The AI will often do this when trying to prolong its round to secure a specific tile bonus card if it is still occupied by a player or other AI race. Just coming back on the developers comment who responded to my review. I am convinced that there is an issue with the AI on certain classes, in that they will move a single space up one cult track without this being the result of playing a priest or bonus tile or favour tile... they just magically do it..EztrelleVersion: 1.38

✓ Poorly written for iPhoneThe game is not integrated well for iPhone users. Additionally, they will send ads that cannot be turned off for other offerings by the maker. No advanced AI exists for the game..ChypeRyeVersion: 1.56

✓ Decent; Asynchronous play frustratingIt's okay. Graphics are solid, and the in-game UI is good though has a learning curve. Asynchronous online play is a let down. Takes a lot of clicks and waiting to get into a game to play your turn, and it doesn't play a replay of your opponents' last turns. Compare this with most Players games where you can quickly get into a game, see what the opponent did, then play your turn..NotARunelordVersion: 1.33

✓ Waste of a good gameCan’t save a game. Exits for any reason, wasted time. And so many glitches that you won’t finish many games. Such a good game so poorly programmed. Don’t waste your money..SilverFoot StudiosVersion: 1.56

✓ A bit buggy currentlyA nice interface that's quite understandable. It's got a few unforgiving bugs currently..JcDarksideVersion: 1.04
