Mystic Vale for Negative User Reviews

✓ GoodAvoided buying this game as collection was getting too big but having the app let me get this out of my system. Game is amazing however the difficulty level of the AI just seems to rig the push your luck of the opponents. Otherwise great game..Response_to_sadnessVersion: 4.0.2

✓ New expansion causes crashingApp was working beautifully but since installing the new expansion it crashes every game. Really disappointed as I love this game..JadkhyVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Addictive gameplay but needs a little love.The Good: First, the gameplay is incredible addictive and they did a great job on the graphics. The tutorial gives a good rundown of the rules. The Bad: 1. You can’t see your deck composition. The memory component is too much here for what cards you upgraded, etc. and this is a game where if you bust once or twice, you may as well quit and save yourself 20 minutes. 2. The discard screen blocks important information, like what’s available to purchase. 3. The back button is severely limited. Sometimes, even though it’s still your turn, you may not go back. 4. I often forget that it’s the planting phase and try to drag cards down. I suggest creating a stronger focus on the action at hand and getting rid of ditch the glow on purchasable cards. 5. Eats my battery like crazy. Honestly, I may have to get the Steam version because it’s going to kill my iPad. 6. It wasn’t immediately clear to me that I could only purchase 2 cards. Overall, great game but many of the above are surprising given that they should have been caught in testing..IcelusxVersion: 1.1

✓ Version 4.0.0 ruin of the gameMy wife and I have long loved the original physical version of the Mystic Vale game, and have been enjoying this iPad version for the last year, including earlier today. We’ve shared our positive reviews of the digital version of this game widely, and have encouraged many to purchase it as well. However, when we settled in this evening to play a game before bed, we had to deal with the latest updates for version 4.0.0, and found the new UI so unplayable that we abandoned the game. We’re unlikely to go back to it until these unbearable problems are fixed. The primary issue is the forced zoom of the row whenever you click on the vale or enhancement cards(e.g. to slide the row back-and-forth and see what’s available). Neither of us ever use the row zoom feature, and being forced to row zoom makes it impossible to see the whole row, let alone the whole field, making it very difficult to easily take in the current state of the game and strategize for your next move. Secondarily, the shading added to the “active“ card is both pointless and distracting. Knowing which card you touched last has no effect in the game and doesn’t serve any purpose other than to make the card harder to read. Why this “feature“ was added as a mystery to us, but it really needs to go away. If these problems are fixed either by reverting them or by providing an option to turn these “features” off, I’ll happily bump my review back up to the five star rating that this game otherwise deserves. In the meantime, we‘ll just use the physical game, or play something else. If these problems remain unfixed, I cannot see us trusting Nomad Games in the future not to arbitrarily mess up a good thing..EmanatonVersion: 4.0.0

✓ Great game as long as you don’t want to play online multiplayerThis game is gorgeous. As long as you want to play just single player. If you switch to multiplayer online player it’s very frustrating. Often drops a player and doesn’t allow rejoining.Paulab2Version: 3.1.0

✓ No asynchronous multiApp seems to work well , but as soon as we bounce out of an online game with friends, the game is lost with no way to get it back Who wants to sit and play for 45 minutes straight just to finish the game? With asynch this would be 5 stars.Not cheap card gamer for sureVersion: 4.0.2

✓ A happy messThis game is a luck fest with little strategic decisions to be made. To make matters worst, the dev have not deemed appropriate to provide a log so it is night on impossible to know what is going on… not that it matters mind you, since every player has zero incidence on others besides taking cards from a common pool. Still, a frustrating experience results from such a poor ‘app design’ decision..KatrogVersion: 4.0.2

✓ It’s okay, but…I just find the help component of understanding the cards and strategy to be lacking. It would be helpful to have a little clarity on the game. Can be interesting, but really unable to completely figure out how to utilize cards appropriately..POKERFACEtinkVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Game locked upNow whenever I start the app, it asks if I want to load my saved game, when I say yes the app glitches and closes. Until this is solved I refuse to play the game, poor quality coding. I do like the board game though..Ranger in the skyVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Amazing art, but bad UIFaithful adaptation of the card game with a sprinkle of sound effects and minor animation. Maybe it’s better on an iPad, but there isn’t enough space on an iphone screen to view all of the information..Nate12345652Version: 2.1.1

✓ Great GameThis is a fantastic take on a deck builder and will be well worth a purchase when the developer fixes it so it’s no crashing out so regularly. 1v1 AI is about as stable as it gets but 3 AI crashes every second round..KanheadVersion: 3.1.0

✓ Why oh why??This is a beautiful representation of the real game. EXCEPT every single time it throws an online player out it ruins the entire game experience! So disappointing 😔.PelupelupeluVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Multiplayer is brokenI got this game specifically because the reviews said it had a robust multiplayer mode. That is not the case. Creating private games looks like it’ll work, but your friends can’t join. There’s no way to make a custom ID. It kicks you out of multiplayer games..Mongo3637Version: 4.0.1

✓ Great game with bugs that need fixing.This game is a lot of fun when it works correctly. However, as I and my wife have been adding expansion packs, it seems more and more bugs are present in the game. Had to restart several times, and sometimes vale cards do not work properly. Would love to see an update with bugs fixed. If working properly, this is easily a five star game. Lots of fun!.DoaneJakeVersion: 4.0.2

✓ So nearly brilliantThis is a great game, but impossible to play multiplayer. Every time I try it crashes for one of us (group of 4, all playing on iPads). The crash isn’t such a problem, the issue is that you can’t rejoin your game, unlike a number of other game apps (eg Terraforming Mars, or Splendor). If we could rejoin a game after a crash, that would make this a 5-star review, no problem - it’s a beautiful app..Sun_KittenVersion: 4.0.1

✓ Doesn’t work with iOS 17It was one of my fav games, but it’s stopped working now my phone’s on iOS 17. I deleted the app and re-downloaded it on the off chance it would help, and while it progressed slightly further towards starting a game, it didn’t actually manage, and I also lost the expansion packs I’d paid for..Vicky_fsayvbiatVersion: 4.0.2

✓ No pass and play?Was hoping to be able to play offline pass and play like star realms and ascension. Seems good otherwise. Fingers crossed for an update..TelomeresVersion: 1.1

✓ Poor UXFirst online play with friends is simply impossible. You need to leave the lobby open, attempt to spell it wrote worth a keyboard that doesn't overlay properly and then when you do get connected the server errors out and disastrous the game. Simply unfathomable this passed game center testing. In game layout is poor a much better approach could be taken epithelial the screen realestate. Very unhappy I can't play with my friends, very disappointed..JamesWilkinsonVersion: 4.0.1

✓ Unclear!Even by going through the tutorial twice, I still don’t know how to play. Too complicated. The GUI could have been better too..BeeMightVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Better than this game deserves.Aside from no asynchronous play, is this is a very well-made app. However, the game is not good. I wanted to like it, I gave it multiple chances, but alas. It has a 2 major flaws: spoiling feels really bad and sometimes you have to push because otherwise you do nothing on your turn. The other more serious flaw is that for all the cool effects and mechanics, but this is a race to the bottom. You might think the goal is to build up to get level three cards and the level 2 veils. It is not. The rewards aren’t worth it both on face and the time it takes to cycle through your deck. Synergies are difficult to build because you both need to manage the money and happen to have that exact card drawn when you do, then hope nobody bought it first. I’ve checked, and winning this game doesn’t depend upon on engine building; just slam victory points and exhaust the pool. The best way to play the game is to ignore most of its strategic avenues. Oh, and the game tier 1 and basic upgrades are hyper limited and starve you for resources. Imagine if dominion had only 6-7 silvers. You win this game by ignoring almost all growth..Sad PlaneswalkerVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Great game, good port, crashes all the time, buggyI am super sad to give such a low rating as this is a good port of a great game, but (as others have mentioned) this game always crashes right at the end. Also, if you close the app there appears to be no way to recover your game progress (unless this is a bug we are experiencing)Please fix and easy 5 stars For devs- 5th gen iPad, Classic game, 4 players, 2 easy AI, 2 human players (blue and yellow). Game freezes when the game hits last turn (usually 19th turn) and then calculates score Edit- Game freezes in any pass and play game we play. We have not been able to complete a single game (after 15 or so attempts).... This is after the latest update so please be aware of this issue if you are playing pass and play on an iPad.BaguafoxVersion: 3.0.3

✓ Board Game Owner ApprovalI own the card game and most of the expansions. Bought this due to covid-19 social distancing. Checks all the boxes and has online play. [REVISED] Bought for online play. Missing a way to invite users to games. No notifications about turns. Disconnects when I switch apps. Creating a game timed out to quickly (should not time out). Ticket to ride is a great model of what is needed..ACEman7890Version: 4.0.1

✓ Not asynchronous/ doesn’t work with 1st gen iPad AirThe app is slick and I enjoy the interface but I have yet to complete more than a game or 2 when playing multiplayer online. I’m using a first generation iPad Air. All in all, not worth my money..FrtahkfVersion: 4.0.2
