Mythbuster Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2008 1,260 22 38 Journalist In the middle of nowhere #4 Mythbuster, Jun 30, 2016 I would not buy it again! Because: - The UI is real bad - The graphics are blurry - You can only turn off the complete sound, not only the music - Only one AI level - two crashes in one hour on my iPad Pro skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #5 skoptic, Jun 30, 2016 Interesting feedback - I left the beta a while back because I wasn't really feeling it that much (a few reasons). Thought I'd pop in to check the price.... Not too sure about that unless it got better in beta! Grey Wizard Innovative Active Member Jun 26, 2016 31 0 0 Poznań #6 Grey Wizard Innovative, Jun 30, 2016 Good morning / Good afternoon First of all thank you ojtitus for creating this thread Now about the game - it is in our opinion rather different game than Carcassonne. At least when we are comparing basics versions of both games (there is a plenty additions to Carcassonne and we don't know them all). Basic version of Galaxy of Trian allows for more interaction - you can not only place your emissaries inside opponents "areas" (unless they are closed) but also there are ways to remove or relocate opponents Emissaries. And there are more options of "actions" after the tile is placed (in Carcassone there is only an option to place your guy on a tile). Mythbuster - we are very sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately game is not well prepared for iPad Pro - this is a very new device we were not aware of when we prepared the art for the game. We are considering special set of arts to fit better such an epic resolution. The game however looks much better on smaller devices. Regarding your issues with crashes - as we already posted in a different thread - the update is on its way. Those crashes happens to everyone - they are not related to your device. We hope the update will be live in hours rather than days. We will keep you updated. Let us know what you think. Even regarding price - $6.99 looked like a usual price tag for a board game, but we are not greedy, nothing is written in stone Mythbuster Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2008 1,260 22 38 Journalist In the middle of nowhere #7 Mythbuster, Jun 30, 2016 Well ... I have no problem with the price tag ... but: If it costs the same as i. e. Carcassonne than it should have the same quality: - A good working UI (in your game it is hard to place tiles, compare this with Carcassonne) - Real good graphics - Sound and music separate turn on / off - stable gameplay - Carcassonne has around ten different AI player with own style and level and much more ... By the way: The "new" iPad Pro is now 8 months in my hands ... Grey Wizard Innovative Active Member Jun 26, 2016 31 0 0 Poznań #8 Grey Wizard Innovative, Jun 30, 2016 That is interesting. We are sure Carcassonne is for $9.99 and our game is for $6.99 We are little bit surprised about your complains about tile placement. If you don't mind, we would like to hear more about it (we are open to all ways of communication including emails and skype ). We are aware that the game is not perfect (yet ). We are working on more AI, several FREE additions and other improvements. We know this is not an excuse for a poor performance of the game - and we are very sorry for it. We are doing everything we can in our small team. And yes - separate mute for sound & music is hight on our priority list - and will even go higher after reading this thread. Even if you are unhappy with our performance we are still very thankful for your feedback. Hope we will be able to change your opinion about us soon Grey Wizard Innovative Active Member Jun 26, 2016 31 0 0 Poznań #9 Grey Wizard Innovative, Jun 30, 2016 Just to let you know guys - the new version without annoying issues in the tutorial - is already available on the store currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #10 currymutton, Jul 1, 2016 FYI, the app is still not yet available in HK Store.

I'm not bashing you, calm down. I haven't made my mind up yet whether or not to purchase simply because I just now saw it. I as well have an extensive game collection (80+on my PC) So I like to wait a day or two before I buy one. If I didn't it would be ridiculous how many I owned. It's not a money thing. I respect reviews of all sorts believe me, they're important for the gaming community. Mythbuster Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2008 1,260 22 38 Journalist In the middle of nowhere #18 Mythbuster, Jul 1, 2016 OK, last posting in this thread: I gave it another (last) try. Within 20 minutes two crashes. So, I spent around 90 minutes with this game and had four crashes. I could say I wait for new updates if the UI were better, if the graphics were better and if there were more than only one AI player (I play only against AI, I am no fan of MP, so the AI is the most important thing for me). So I came to an end (for myself) and deleted it from my iPads and my iPhone and asked Apple for a refund because of the crashes ... oh, this is the third time I asked Apple for a refund in all the years. Well, so I am out now. For everyone here I wish, that you will like it ... maybe my expectations are too high ... maybe not, I do not know.

Just found out this is based off of a physical board game, really looks cool. More interested in that now honestly lol. Congrats on the Kickstarter. Does/will this have ships like I'm the delux version? Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. Just watched two reviews(on the board game) from rahdo and undead Viking. Really helpful. The game cards and tiles look gorgeous. I dig the flow of the game mechanic. I'm gonna try out the app version even know this obviously shines on a table top with a group of friends. First impressions soon. forsakenxe Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 709 0 16 #20 forsakenxe, Jul 1, 2016 Already a price drop by 2 in less than 24 hours. Seems no to start so well for this game...
