A Game of Thrones: Board Game for Negative User Reviews

✓ HorribleLooks good but haven’t been able to complete a single game as it keeps losing our saved games..QjxoebaptbeishfkVersion: 0.9.4

✓ 50% of the time it works half the timeUPDATE: v0.9.5 didn’t appear to fix much. 1st async multiplayer game got stuck trying to bid on Turn 2. Still a 1-star release. Great single player experience, terrible and broken multiplayer. When it works, it’s awesome, and when it inevitably breaks, it’s super frustrating. My group of friends have yet to complete a game because of the horrendous sync issues. Most turns involve restarting the app to fetch the latest updates. Or maybe it won’t fetch updates and you’ll just have 2 players stuck in combat with the game telling each player it’s the other’s turn, but nobody can actually take an action so the game just stops. Or maybe the AI bot won’t know how to break ties when bidding and kick everyone from the game. Or everyone will just be kicked out for no good reason at all. This game is yet another example of terrible software design practices where they ship a product without proper testing, and use us, the paying players, as their QA. I don’t recommend buying until they release a proper patch that fixes these unacceptable bugs..Lateralus685Version: 0.9.5

✓ BretrayalYou spelled it wrong in the ad.Robarm2Version: 0.9.4

✓ Keeps FreezingGood game, create graphics, keeps freezing though so needs some bugs sorted out.MiniHoundVersion: 0.9.5

✓ Could not load saved gameVery irritating that sometimes it refuses to load saved game. Also had a problem with a card event where it was waiting forever so I had to quit and reload - thus running the saved game gauntlet. Makes it seem a bit flakey which is shame because it’s a decent game apart from the problems..Jimjammy7Version: 0.9.7

✓ BUGGY for mobile devices; severelyChat function is broken during in-game play. There is a mickey mouse fix available, but utilizing it is tedious as it must be done every single chat use. Even worse, the slightest screen swap (even just scrolling the clock screen slightly) will throw you out of a Waiting Lobby; thus, forcing you to re-join the lobby. If you are thrown out of a game during a "lost connection" or a "time out" the bots WILL make moves for you and WILL NOT make these moves in your favor. There has been instances where the bot will attack and/or raid Allies you have made. Do not buy this for mobile. As a bonus: multiple Asmodee accounts can be made; thus, 1 user can be playing as 2 or 3 players at a time. Solo is fun and/or private games. Better on PC but not in multiplayer due to cheating and game-breaking bugs. You have been warned.Tootsie appleVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Support Does Not AnswerAfter initially giving this app an overwhelmingly positive review, I must begrudgingly change it to a one star. After purchasing and playing the Feast For Crows DLC for months on-end, the app inexplicably removed my download, and asks for me to pay for it once again. I sent a screenshot of my purchase from Apple to the developers, and I’ve yet to get an answer or have the problem revolved. In regards to the game itself, after attempting to play online, I experienced some of the bugs that other reviewers were talking about. In single player games, attacks will sometimes result in my units sharing a territory with enemy units without engaging in any combat. I truly believe this is the greatest strategy game on the market, and the sky is the limit of the developers get this digital version right! Hope to hear back & have my issue resolved..NDirish94Version: 1.0.1

✓ Awful, awful awful multiplayerSo, the game itself is OK - reasonably faithful reproduction of the board game, a few inefficient numbers of clicks and slow animations but basically fine. The multiplayer though (which is really why you want to pay 15 dollars for a game like this, right) is super sucky… played four games today and had to forfeit two of them as the server screwed up, constant synchronisation problems, frequently get kicked out and have to rejoin, at one point the chat from a previous game is already forfeited (due to technical faults) was coming through my chat window in a new game with new players. It’s not a fast game either (though faster than the board game, a game can still take 1-2 hours) so it’s a lot of time you potentially invest in a game that ultimately you can’t finish because of server problems. I really wouldn’t recommend now but will update this review if Asmodee sort out the problems with their multiplayer servers..XcackVersion: 0.9.6

✓ Multiplayer Too buggyHave attempted two asynchronous 3-player games, and we were not able to finish either without the game getting stuck on no ones turn or flat out disappearing. Seems like a cool game but I wouldn’t pay for it in its current state..DbxrunnerVersion: 0.9.6

✓ Great, when it works...The game is a great one to one representation of the board game and makes games so much faster and much more enjoyable. However, there are some glitches in this game. The most notable is in the Searoad Marches where the game refuses to play the AI moves or your moves (especially if you are supporting). Nothing you can do, even a reload, can get the game to progress. I have also seen direwolf cards pop up on the base game? Very strange, plus Stark was not even being played. There is also a visual bug that incorrectly counts siege engines in defense, but correctly excludes them in the final tally. The result is a confusing number that says you won, causing you to alter the cards you will play. Then, once the final tally is concluded, you lose because the siege engine was counted and messed with your internal math. I should not have to look for bugs and then subtract them from tally while also adding numbers from my deck..Mcs7474Version: 0.9.4

✓ Just avoid itMy friends and I live the original and we’re very excited to give this a shot. We attempted 3 Asynchronous games, one with just the five of us and two games with a bot to fill out the 6 houses. We couldn’t finish any of them. Eventually it bugs out so bad that we all get kicked from the game. We get to turn 2-3 and that’s as far as it goes. Maybe someday this game will work, but for now it’s not even worth a free version, least of all dumping $10 on a game that apparently never went through any type of QA testing. If I thought I could get a refund I’d ask..The Riddler XDVersion: 0.9.4

✓ BuggyJust freezes up in a navel battle and nothing will allow moving forward. Unplayable when in this state. Update - A game vs AI players. Navel battle begins, shows initial battle values and then stops. It never loads options to select a battle card to resolve battle, it’s just stuck looping the battle graphic. Saving and restarting the game loads to the same place unable to select cards to continue. Game had to be abandoned..ProfessorOfDoomVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Neat game, needs some bug fixesThis is a fun game and a good adaptation. However, I’ve run into a few too many game breaking bugs to recommend it right now. The AI frequently freezes permanently, and the game doesn’t seem to tally up combat totals correctly. I’ve lost several combats where I had a significant final strength advantage and the AI doesn’t play a leader card. Should be worth another look after a patch..BigDaudVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Stole my money.Paid for the dlc took my money and can’t use either..(_)(_)==========D—Version: 1.1.0

✓ Decent but bugsDecent game, follows the board game but has lots of bugs. For example I played over an hour on one of the challenges and the game is stuck on this step with another house choosing support. Can’t get past it. Bummer to have that game wasted. And had times when I win a combat and it acts like I don’t. Very buggy, needs lots of work. Really expensive app to have bugs like that..Shooter5533Version: 0.9.4

✓ It’s ok, but buggyI haven’t hit a lockup bug since the last update. Still visual bugs, but now regions lock blue or red, or units don’t vanish after they are destroyed. Happens less than before last update, but still problems. Looks nice mostly. Without bugs, my only complaint is that I have to zoom in and wear my reading glasses to tell the dark samey units apart..PopeBrainVersion: 0.9.6

✓ Can’t access what I purchasedI love the game, I enjoy playing it so much. However, I purchased the Feast for Crows expansion, I played it once and now it prompts me to purchase it again… Let me use what I have bought..RickGrimes1776Version: 1.0.1

✓ DWD purchase doesn’t sync between devices?Before I give a review, I’m having an issue with syncing my DWD purchase between my iPhone and my iPad. I purchased DWD (and the app) on my iPhone, and then launched it on my iPad. However, while I have an Asmodee account which is synced on both devices, it’s requiring me to pay for DWD again on my iPad. Is the intent that we have to pay for DWD multiple times or is this a bug? Follow-up: Unfortunately, my issue was never solved. While their team tried to help, it felt nominal at best. I paid for the game twice in the hopes of getting MoD as my way of investing in this game. Review: I’m sad to say that this version just isn’t as strong as the free version on the internet. Until they release a bug-free game with Mother of Dragons, I believe the other free versions online are far superior to this paid version. The animations are nice, but I’d rather see a much simpler and more strategic overview of the map rather than scrolling just to see what other players are doing. There is hardly any online presence, and it seems difficult to keep games in a PBEM state for a group of friends. I’m rooting for this team because I want to see MoD, but I’ve been disappointed so far..Spectator roflcopterVersion: 0.9.4

✓ A few bugsIn game sound or music doesn’t work. No option to not use an order token in planning phase, you must give every army an order or use all available order tokens..Joe2132980Version: 1.0.1

✓ Party of 1Great Awesome Game ….. When you get 1 and it works. Never seen more then 7 people online in a lobby. Waited 45 minutes once to get a game and it bugged out 1p min in.PagancowboyVersion: 0.9.6

✓ Want a refundWhat a mess this game is. If is so utterly mired down in complexity that even the tutorial makes no sense. Really upset that I spent the money on this..HxjdbdxVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Ai is so bad.This is a fantastic board game and the app plays well. Unfortunately, the computer ai is so poor, even on hard mode, that the game is not a challenge, removing the fun of a skirmish against bots. Online play is good against human players..DramseVersion: 0.9.7

✓ Game doesn’t workGame constantly gets stuck on cpu turns and basically ruins the games. Happens at any point in the game..Wilfredo622Version: 0.9.4

✓ Skirmish BrokenEvery single time I try to play a game of SKIRMISH it ends up freezing on a ship to ship battle. The ships just sit there and continue to shoot at one another and that's it. This needs to be fixed. This game is too expensive for it to be completely broken on ANY of it's areas..Redfacedgirl1Version: 0.9.4

✓ UnplayableSync issues make this impossible to play the async multiplayer mode. Avoid..XaaaaakVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Great game but too many bugsThe game itself is great and works well but there are some annoying bugs that you have to avoid to be able to play the game. 1 being that you can’t rejoin a game once you have left. 2 being that if you swipe the notification panel for the top of the iPad, it will disconnect you from the game. 3 being that when I bought the DLC, I could only play it once then it was unplayable and I have to buy it again to play..HhjjgfdsVersion: 1.0.1

✓ UplayableNever made it through a game without it completely locking up. I’d like my money back as I didn’t sign up to be an Alpha tester..MJack89Version: 0.9.4

✓ Creating online gameBought the app to play with three other friends, turns out in addition to the game you have to buy the expansion pack and have exactly six players..Nothappy11!!Version: 0.9.4

✓ Not enough playersI feel like because the game is so expensive there isn’t enough player playing. I bought the game and there’s only 8 people online and can’t get a game started because of it. I’m getting a refund..HotdogLeBlancVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Multiplayer BrokenHaven’t been able to complete one multiplayer game. Game is always out of sync with different results being shown to different players. Numerous other bugs (why does a battle only resolve at a certain zoom level??). Do not recommend..Hffhjhgyuh56Version: 0.9.4

✓ It’s not tested.I haven’t been able to get past round 3 in any of the scrimmages I’ve tried. The app simply doesn’t work. I generally don’t have any problems on the pc version on Steam, but this iPhone app just wasn’t ready for primetime..BearfacerVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Where is Mother of Dragons?I like it so far, but I’m disappointed the latest expansion doesn’t seem to be part of the game. I’m hoping an update is coming soon. When it does I’ll update my review..Rullys06Version: 1.0.1

✓ Too many bugs :(I love the game, and love the board game. However, game frequently freezes up during sea battles and the AI is a little illogical, such as asking for support to attack regions you control! Clean up the bugs and youll get 5 stars, but right now it’s luck if you can even finish a game :(.2000 voltsVersion: 0.9.4

✓ Just dont buy this unless you’re playing soloMultiplayer is broken. They said it would be fixed in April, haven’t seen one update. The interface is great, basically any multiplayer doesn’t work. Solo still works well if you want to play vs CPU..Hypnosis11Version: 0.9.4
