Shards of Infinity for Positive User Reviews

Awesome GameI play this game a ton. Wish there were the other expansions to play as well. Haven’t had issues with bugs on my iPhone. It would be nice to be able to say who goes first when playing the computer..Version: 1.01a

Very slickThe game is fun and runs like butter!.Version: 1.01

Excellent digital version of a great deck-builderThe developer did a great job of bring Shards of Infinity to iOS — plays well on both my phone and tablet. I really hope they add the Relics expansion soon, since it significantly improves an already great game..Version: 1.01a

Expansions?It’s been a while and your game Race for Galaxy is completed. When will you add the expansions to the app?.Version: 1.01a

Great!Another great mobile port of a card game. Interface is intuitive and there’s already plenty of nice features to make digital play feel snappy. One humble request: - Make the digital tutorial more prominent.Version: 1.01

So far, so good.So I’ve been playing quite a bit since this was released, and my initial impression.... It’s very good. It takes the best parts of Hearthstone, mixes them with the familiarity and gameplay of Ascension, and ends up feeling a bit like what Star Realms should have been. It’s very good..Version: 1.0

Great version of a great gameMy friends and I get a lot of mileage out of the tabletop version and the app is every bit as fun to play. AI provides a solid challenge and pass-and-play works like a treat. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.01a

Great game but need more than 30 minsHad a blast with the physical game and was excited to try out the app. Played my first online game with a friend who also played the physical game. Unfortunatley, it abandoned the game we were actively playing after 30 mins. It was a great match going back & forth, but we will never know who would have won. Any way you can add an option to extend the play time? Other than that, really enjoyed the app adaptation of a great game & looking forward to the expansion..Version: 1.01a

Shards mobile is amazingAbsolutely love the game and fact that it’s on mobile. I’ve gotten so much more of my friends group to try Shards now that it’s an app. My only gripe is the attention it’s given. The app crashes constantly, for any reason. It hasn’t received another update or fix in 2 months, which says to me they are either just waiting for the expansion, or are giving up on supporting the app as it grows..Version: 1.01a

AI needs to play smarter at high GemsThis is a faithful reproduction of the card game, and the graphics are beautiful. What is disappointing is the AI players fail to attack a runaway leader. For example, if 3 players are hovering at 10 gems and one is above 20, the AI players don’t start attacking the 20+ gems player. They carry on, attacking whatever player or players they previously attacked. If they hit the runaway leader, they will split their attack with another player (AI or Human) rather than focusing on the runaway leader. Otherwise, really like the game..Version: 1.01a

👍🏽👍🏽Excellent digital version - looking forward to the expansion..Version: 1.01a

10/10Superb successor/ companion to ascension with some familiar and some v welcome new mechanics. App is slick af. Great work and looking forward to updates..Version: 1.0

FantasticGreat game! I’m ready for 10 expansions ASAP!.Version: 1.01a

Terrific AdaptationThe developers did a great job of translating this game for mobile. It's really fast to learn how to play because the controls are so intuitive. I especially love jumbo mode that lets you read the text on the cards more easily. There are lots of players so it's quick to get into games. Super looking forward to the expansion. Initially thought it was a bit pricey but it's a premium game and worth the money!.Version: 1.01

Great game, seems to need more developer supportBetween Shards, Hearthstone, and Gwent, Shards is by far the better choice from the App Store. I own a physical copy of Shards and both expansions, and it’s a really solid card drafting/ deck builder. But it’s app version is also great, where some games can be held back in digital form. For instance, Hearthstone could be a fun quick little game seeing as the mechanics of the game itself are really simple. But the gameplay is held back by how over produced the app is. I can’t just jump in for a quick game, or easily build my deck without seeing a few load screens or swiping some pages. It’s just feels really slow for such a simple little game that I just want to jump into. Gwent has the same issues. It’s way over produced. And you have to sign your life away to jump into a game. Shards as an app is so simple. You can either play 3 different AI difficulties, join someone else’s game, start your own game, or add irl friends and play them. And the best part is you can do all of these options at the same time. I have 4-7 games going at any given time. You can leave the game, go about your life, and come back to take your turn. You never feel too locked in. It does seem a little abandoned though. The expansion don’t seem to be coming to digital any time soon if ever, and there are a few bugs that will probably never get fixed. If the AI has a big turn, it’ll grind the app to a halt and crash until you cancel that game. Instead the AI should pace itself and try not to do too much at once. And I have a game that was forfeited by an opponent and the prompt for that game won’t go away..Version: 1.01a

Needs a slower speed for us noobs.Fantastic AI (Keldon’s from Race For The Galaxy - which is the best modern board game AI I’ve ever seen). I’m a noob though and the cards go by too fast to get a sense of the ai is doing. Seems really silly they would do a speed update and not add a slow speed because I’ve seen many other people complain in various forums about this and it’s not like it’s hard to do. It would also be nice if we could add an option to view the other players deck (at least a learning mode against the ai). Otherwise it’s too hard to see what the ai is doing and learn how to appropriately adjust strategy in response. The game is great for experts but unfriendly to noobs. Also game has frozen 3 times now during ai turn. It’s always during the best games too..Version: 1.01a

Amazing game, thoughtful devs.I’m a lifelong gamer with card and deck builders my favorite. The game itself is fantastic and the app is very well done. It plays very smooth with beautiful graphics. I also wanted to give a huge thanks for the option to increase the font size on the cards. As on older gamer this simple ability makes a huge difference. Thanks for a great game and an awesome app..Version: 1.0

Great game, but slightly buggyUpdate: New patch adds speed increase! It will exit you out of the game extremely quickly and repeatedly! Test your patches before you release them. Every time I start a game now, it plays maybe 1-2 turns, then crashes. Sad. But it looks like they fixed the big Zetta the Encryptor bug, so that’s huge. Keeping at 4 stars until they fix the crashes for playing with medium opponents, but like the game very much. Game is great and plays very cleanly like Ascension, but with a different theme and a couple different mechanics. Much more player against player than Ascension. There seems to be a rather small set of cards as well, but hopefully that will be addressed with DLC..Version: 1.01

Long-term play valueFor their other game, RFTG, which I’ve played >1500 games, I see myself doing the same for Shards of Infinity (SOI). I hope to see the same frequency of game expansions releases. As of today, RFTG is at 4 expansions with one more in the works. From what I see, there is one expansion in the works for SOI. The games are speedy and short 4-9 minutes - perfect for a quick game here and there on the road or in transit. So far I’m hitting a 50% win rate against medium. And like the RFTG, the AI at hard is, well, hard. Online playing has the same familiar interface as RFTG (if not easier) and works like a charm - be it with the online community or with your friends. And yes, like RFTG, SOI originally is a physical tabletop game that plays much faster in the electronic format and so online playing with friends - even in the same house at the same table together is preferred since we can cram 3X more games in the same time period. So, what is SOI? A dash of Dominion (buy cards to build your deck), a drop of MTG (win by bringing opponent hit point down to zero - not by victory points), and fast forward about 20 centuries. There are multiple paths to victory and each player begins at an identical footing (unlike RFTG, where the random draw determines your starting world, stats, and starting cards.).Version: 1.01a

Expansion?The promised expansion is the only thing lacking in this game. The game is put together beautifully and the play dynamic is incredible. Its to bad this game seems to have been abandoned by Temple Gates, otherwise it would have really taken off.Version: 1.01a

Love itI have the expansion physical copy But when will it be available on mobile.Version: 1.01a

Weak AIThe AI is weak. I’ve played nothing but games against hard AI and I have won almost all the games. I’ve tried free for all 4 player and one on one and the AI almost never wins..Version: 1.01a

Here’s my money… give me DLC!Great game, and will be a classic once there are some more DLCs, achievements, etc. Well done, developers!.Version: 1.01a

Excellent deck-builderFun and fast game. Deep tactics and AI is a worthy opponent..Version: 1.01a

Awesome but limitedLove the game but was basically playing that same 3 or 4 games within a day due to lack of cards. Please add more.Version: 1.01a

You will love this if you love AscensionBrilliant game like ascension but in a futuristic setting and with a battle for survival. I played the beta and really enjoyed it..Version: 1.0

Feels like the start of an Ascension 2.0I was a big fan of Ascension, and Shards certain feels very familiar, but with many interesting improvements. I’m especially enjoying the mercenary mechanic (getting the choice to immediately use-and-banish some cards instead of solely adding them to the deck). The factions are rather familiar (roughly, blue drawing cards and having thresholds, green wanting pairs-or-more of green, tan having a focus on stays-in-play cards, and purple being damage and deck-cleaning), and it’s certainly interesting to see some reincarnations of Ascension cards or effects (eg. acquire a card of cost 6 or less), while still putting them in a new context/balance. I’m absolutely looking forward to seeing where future expansions/card-sets go from here!.Version: 1.01a

Excellent deck builderBeautiful and well-made app that doesn’t destroy the battery on my older phone. Game is fun and balanced but could use a little more card variety; I’m looking forward to the upcoming expansion. One minor issue I’ve found is that when I play the ally that lets you copy a previously played card I can’t open my previously played cards to check what it’ll do. This is a very small gripe in an otherwise brilliant implementation..Version: 1.0

Needs expansionGreat game and solid app, but we need the expansion which is long overdue..Version: 1.01a

Great digital port of another great Stoneblade gameAnyone who likes Ascension should definitely check this out. Uses some similar mechanics, but with many different twists. Temple Gates has done a great job of adapting the game. Interface looks and feels great. Runs smoothly. All very intuitive and easy to pick up even if you’ve never played the card game before. Best of all is that when you buy this game...you get a game. It’s not just another mobile game trap trying to shove micro transactions in your face constantly and asking you to grind for hours every day. You get all the cards there are right away and you just play whenever you feel like it..Version: 1.0

Decent deck builderIPad 2018 iOS 12.4.1 late game crashes on medium AI when I am close to a win. When the AI has a points advantage and perhaps a clearer route to victory it does not seem to crash. I paid full price for the app and in doing so I hope the devs can continue to support the game with bug fixes and release new content. Overall it’s a good game with some interesting additions to the standard pvp deck builder. Not sure if the devs have used any sort of machine learning to develop the AI side of things. Medium AI is quite a challenge but also a bad looser. Easy was definitely easy so suitable for anyone new to deck builders. Hopefully the hard AI is brutal and unforgiving. User interface is slick and production values are good for both audio and graphics. One minor issue with cards that copy the ability of others is that I don’t seem to be able to bring up an enlarged view of the card I wish to copy..Version: 1.01a

Awesome gameShards is a great game that is fun and interactive. I love that I can play with my buds online.Version: 1.01a

Game crashGame crashes on any difficulty greater than easy AI, no matter number of AI players on the first turn. Attempting to resume game from menu crashes app immediately. iPad Air, current iOS update..Version: 1.01

Great game!This game is awesome! Exactly like the card game. The app works but it’s got a lot of bugs. It lags and gets stuck on cards quite often. I have to shut down the app and reopen it but it hasn’t lost my progress yet. Like I said, it works but it has its issues. Fix this and I’d give it five stars..Version: 1.01a
