XenoShyft for Negative User Reviews

Good game. No players?I've played a lot of card games and this one seems really fun, interesting and deep. It'd get 5 stars if there was a single multiplayer game to join. But alas I have to sit and play solo..Version: 1.5.2

BuggedGame isn't even playable cuz it won't let me click done to move on after they claimed to have fixed it. I want my money back. Actually I would prefer a working app of a great table top game..Version: 1.6.1

Needs improvementI love deck builders on ipad i own them all. this game looks interesting and it has some good concepts that make it unique. the interface seems super polished at first but after playing the game for a couple hours i realize its pretty clunky. easy things like activating abilities and choosing targets takes 3 or 4 clicks when you could just drag the card onto the target like many other ipad card games. supposedly theres this elite demographic of gamers who love super hard games. for me i feel like if a game has modes from easy to hard then easy should at the very least feel achievable. i admit it might be because i don't know all the nuances and strategies of this game yet but after 4 solo play throughs i get one round into wave 2 and die always. its frustrating and its not clear what i am doing wrong strategy wise. so 2 stars may be a bit harsh but i feel its fair at this time. the interface while pretty is slow to use and it doesn't present information in a great way. i think it tries too hard to preserve the table top experience. the game is also unforgivably hard and maybe this could be solved by an advanced strategies tutorial..Version: 1.5.2

Easy mode should be relatively easy to win...But after playing for months I still haven't got past level 8 and have only reached level 8 once. I've gone from thinking this game is a challenge to this game is too frustrating. If 'easy' doesn't get easier in the next patch ( like 5 - 10 more starting points ) then this will go to my ' no longer playing ' folder for eventual removal. I have several deck builder games on the pad and this is the only one I've never beat..Version: 1.6.1

Great visuals, Asmodee’s same terrible interfaceThis game looks great and keeps in the spirit of the board game. However, trying to play cards and/or their abilities is atrocious. Typical from Asmodee games on the phone that I have played. Spend more time trying to perform functions and actions than making strategic decisions..Version: 2.2.2

Ver 2.0.2 crashes after deploy phase.Updated review for 2.0.2. iPad 4 iOS 10.3.3 - game crashes but after deployment phase..Version: 2.0.3

Potential But Too Many IssuesThis app has a lot to love, good art and animations, smooth flow, and a good core engine. Too bad no one at CMON apparently ever played this game. This game is beyond hard, in many ways it is impossible to win. One example, in wave one, you could get a combination of two enemies that can nullify most of you attacks, this means in round one, through no fault of your own, you can lost half or more of your bases hp against the easiest wave, and that is just one example. The game is littered with impossible combinations. Once you get the engine down you should be able to get to round 7 consistently, but anything beyond that is all up to the random gods. I even bought some expansions in hopes it would make the game winnable. No luck there. In addition the app is buggy, constantly freezing and forcing you to close, save, and restart. So here is an app that should be getting four or even five stars getting two because CMON doesn't seem to care. Too bad..Version: 1.8.7

Will not downloadI have tried deleting and restarting the ipad as well. It simply will not download. I have tried on two different wifi's as well..Version: 1.0.5

Not goodGames performance is abysmal on my iPad. The tutorial is a waste and the is not very balanced. All in all a bad purchase and waste of money..Version: 1.0.1

Good luck winning a gameLet me start by saying this game has potential- looks pretty stinkin cool. It is incredibly well-designed... except for the difficulty. The enemies are incredibly hard and upping the base's health doesn't help much. I have yet to actually win a game after numerous tries and I actually kindof dread booting it up, as there is this sense that you will always lose. Thus it will be one of those apps that gets lost in the depths of my phone. Save the money (I know I wish I did) and put it toward the board game- at least then you can create house rules that might level the playing field..Version: 1.6.2

Can't take cards from discardFix the ability to take cards from the discard pile!.Version: 1.0.5

Years later, still not balancedI like the idea of this game. I like the styling of this game. I like the system used by this game. I do not like the balance of this game. I get that the game creators like games that may be impossible to win even even if the player was clairvoyant and used perfect strategy. I don’t..Version: 2.2.2

Almost GreatI really like this game as the coop is awesome. But it’s freaking buggy and there’s no way to undo some things you are stuck with it. It’s hard so these frustrating broken ai choices it forces you into break the game. Good job on the game, keep at it. It’s almost there..Version: 2.2.2

Buggy MessButtons are tied to animations. So hitting the done button twice too quickly will skip entire phases, bypassing the game’s own warning prompts. An easy fix to this would be the ability to go back to acquire phase from deploy phase. A few cards need more detail, such as the Prototype Heat Lance Shotgun which doesn’t specify that it only targets it’s own lane. There are also other bugs such as being unable to discard certain cards during wrap-up phase, which ended up costing me a Hard game on the very last round..Version: 2.2.2

No solo 4 player Co-op playIf you enjoy solo play with 4 players, you will be disappointed like me, this game does not offer that option, which is a basic gameplay mode for any cooperative board game on iOS, hope they fix it in the future, until then 2 stars.Version: 1.0.6

Playable (and even enjoyable) but plagued by bugsClunky interface, terribly glitchy, and local multiplayer controls are unintuitive. The game itself is really fun, but don't expect to finish every game you start. There is a very real risk of events occurring that the game doesn't know how to handle, triggering a freeze or an event loop. I've only played four games, but while I restarted two in the first wave to check out other divisions, the other two crashed in the last wave. I'm hesitant to give a game as buggy and clunky as this one a rating higher than 1 or 2 stars, but honestly there is a great game lurking under those several aggravating layers, and I can't help but try and finish a game despite them. Bugs aside, the game has a rather high-quality look to it, and I can tell that a lot of effort has gone into making the game look (and in many cases even feel) good. With a considerable amount of debugging, I could easily see XenoShyft becoming a favorite multiplayer iPad game of mine. Though it just isn't yet in that state, I'd love to come back and give a more favorable review when this product has had some of the more problematic issues ironed out!.Version: 1.6.1

Entertaining but UnwinnableThis game shows a lot of promise. Unfortunately, they should have tested it a bit before releasing it, as it is so unbalanced as to be fully unwinnable. If you play perfectly, you can actually make it to the 8th of 9 rounds before the enemy's extremely over powered cards wipe you out. This is in "easy" mode. They need to rebalance the game. This could be achieved by starting your base with 30 hit points rather than 20. Otherwise, this is like an 80s arcade game, you can never win, you just get as far as you can before you inevitably lose..Version: 1.8.6

Not playable SPSorry, I try to give games the benefit of the doubt but this games balance is really poor. Single player games are difficult to the point of being cheap (enemy reveal abilities totally outclass your gear in terms of impact on a battle). And other supply cards are either bugged or just worthless (drop ship being one). It really feels like it needed more play testing. I've taken this off my mini..Version: 1.0.1

Still a little buggy, pun intendedDecent adaptation of the table top game. It's fun if a little harder than I'd prefer. Took me 10 tries to finally win and it locks up resolving my final battle. Had it lock up one other time. And I can't figure out the interface when picking a card out of my discard pile. Hopefully they will clean it up and I can give it the full 5 stars.Version: 1.0

BadApp is rubbish screen keeps freezing and then app just shuts down complete waste of money.Version: 1.0

Multiplayer broken3 attempts to complete a multiplayer game, keeps crashing. If this was fixed I’d rate it 4 star. Waste of time and money right now..Version: 1.8.9

Failed implementationFirst of, lets give the game its due: its fun to play and the artwork is superb. The game is ment to be played online with other players to tag team the game in coop. The big problem is that theres NO GAMES ONLINE! So you're pretty much cut out of most of the fun of the game. It would of been simple for the developper to add a capitain chair mode where a single player can play multiple roles like pandemic for example but I guess they thought more money could be made if all people had a copy... Presently, theres too many things wrong with it's present form to be worth the price that's asked. Important bugs that need to be ironed out that have a direct impact on the game play. For example: -impossible to pick trrops from the discard deck which renders some cards dead weight. -crashes intermitently. -can't resume a game. So if you had to close your ipad for some reason all progress is lost. The games already hard enough toco additionnal handicap of bad playtesting..Version: 1.0.5

Fun but crashed first time I switched apps.It’s gripping. I’m buying the board game. But this thing crashed. I was in my way to winning. I don’t even think it saved that I was winning, so a total waste of time. Update: crash the second time I played and I did not even switch out of the app. Considering asking for a refund because this is unplayable..Version: 2.2.2

Still needs fixing...Still cannot access expansions if the device is not connected to the internet when the app launches. Please fix, it will make flying so much better....Version: 1.6.2

Just need some bugs fixedThis is actually a really fun game. I just wish they fix a bug allowing you to choose a card from the discard pile..Version: 1.0.5

Terrible interfaceXenoshyft started off as a pretty fun cooperative game where you and your friends played as different divisions of an evil megacorp that has run afoul of some alien bugs who don't take kindly to your mining operation. I was excited to see this iOS version of it for only $2, until I saw how cheap and bad it is. You know a game has a bad interface when the tutorial's awful robot voice (which is often drowned out by over-dramatic music) tells you that you'll need to minimize the tutorial text in order to complete the next step of the tutorial. The devs should have just programmed that text prompt to pop up somewhere OTHER than on top of the card you had to select, but it's clear that the priority on this adaptation of the physical game was "cheap and fast" rather than polish. This is one of those digital card games that makes almost no attempt to take advantage of its digital nature. Your troops' attack and health numbers go up to reflect bonuses from their equipment, but that's about it. They didn't even make it easy to see what cards you have in your hand. If you've played the physical version of Xenoshyft, you know that some equipment cards can be used to change how combat plays out. Take a moment to imagine how you'd program that into a digital version of the game. Are you imagining it? Good. Now here's how this app does it - the screen zooms in and only shows the troop and the alien that are fighting. Got an auto-turret on a guy at the back of your lane that you could use to insta-kill an alien before it kills your guys? Well, better remember that (and use the game's awkward method for switching between equipment cards on a troop) and zoom out and use it. Combat doesn't even have a visual indicator for when one side gets a special "first strike" attack, even though that's a HUGE deal. If you reduce an alien to zero health with an effect, it just stays there (probably because of a sloppy way of programming the aliens who come back to life after their first death) leading to some awkward "Wait... did I kill it or not?" moments. It would have added a ton of personality to the game if each troop spoke some lines (like that one card game that's stupidly successful on iOS), but no, all we get is the robot narrator. Troops don't even scream when they die. The militia card has no text and is blurry. Great quality control in this game! Xenoshyft can be played solo, but it really works best as a multiplayer game, and it requires a LOT of coordination between players. "Oops, I'm fighting a boss, does anyone have a spare grenade?" "Can I use your discount so I can afford that armor?" That sort of thing. This app is so bad that I'm not going to slog through a multiplayer game to see if there's ANY mechanism for properly communicating, but I doubt it!.Version: 1.0

PricingI love the game but not 24 hours after finally picking it up and all the expansions all at once it goes way down in price!.Version: 1.5.2

Bug bug bug (and not the good one)Game full of bug. Crashes, I cannot even start a game. Then when I delete and reinstall, I might be able to play one or 2 games before the t get unplayable again. iPad Air 2.Version: 1.8.7

UnplayableThe tutorial freezes halfway through and nothing will let me continue..Version: 1.8.3

Oh humAwkward control (sigh, 2 finger scrolling), awkward UI, (card tops overlay lanes, enlarge a card and lower right blocked by some solid line that appears-why!?-above the Done button) awkward solo play (I don't like to play online). People complain it's unbalanced and I agree, solo play is too difficult but overall the way the game is set up and displayed, it just doesn't pop. It just doesn't look and play like a top notch game. Seems like it's near completion but not quite there yet..Version: 1.0.1

Fun but impossible to winI read some of the other reviews where people were complaining about not being able to pass wave 7. I thought, maybe they don't understand the mechanics or they didn't get it. I consider myself a very skilled gamer, and I can't get past wave 7 either, even on easy. Easy should be easy victory to help you learn the game and eventually take on the real challenges. It would be nice to win once in a while..Version: 1.3

Frustrating QC stillCentipedes still don't work right since they added needing to press "Done" after every stage of combat. Games take forever and the bugs make it unenjoyable. I feel like I've given this game enough chances. I can no longer recommend buying this b Great game but SO frustrating that they don't thoroughly test each release!!!.Version: 1.8.4

Good so far, but...The Good: The game is fun, challenging, and has a lot of strategy. The VO is cool, and the graphics are great. Touch sensitivity seems spot-on. The Bad: The tutorial has a REALLY stupid bug, where they talk about the "DONE" button...but it's actually a "CANCEL" button (like THAT is intuitive :P). This is an easy fix that should NOT be in a professional level game (especially in a tutorial level). The game was a bit challenging to grasp, until I played the tutorial. Not a big ding for that...but it seems weird not to direct first time players into it first. The difficulty is REALLY high. When the game is on "EASY" it feels "HARD" and doesn't make me want to even see the "NORMAL" or "HARD" levels. I was playing a 1-lane solo game...but that IS something I can play so the game should scale to match. It doesn't. Beating someone down on their first try is *really* disenchanting. I will revisit the game at some future point, and it IS worth getting if you like the theme...just be aware of what you're getting yourself into..Version: 1.6.1

Trop chere7$ pour un jeux sans animation,.Version: 1.8.6
