Getting Better

I reviewed this game as a 1 star near when it first came out, it was nearly unplayable. Now however, they have fixed many (not all!) of the bugs. This game is playable and somewhat enjoyable now, but there needs to be some more effort from the developer. Instead of game breaking bugs, there are bugs like not being able to see the end of the game score in async games, sometimes the game pauses for a day or two and then randomly continues, sometimes the game decides to play your fight card for you. The worst part, however, is the 7 day player turn. This badly needs to be upgraded to at least 14 days, if not 45 like many other async board games. Most of our games end due to player timeout because if they stop earlier than the other players at night and work most of the day then they inevitably run out of time. This is how most of our games end, to someone timing out and being replaced by a bot.

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.

50% of the time it works half the time

UPDATE: 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.

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.

I LOVE THIS GAME

Wasn’t sure about buying this game after seeing the reviews, but they do not do this justice. After playing the board game, I was hopeful that a good version of this would be available on the phone and this exceeds all expectations. The challenge mode is a lot of fun, the tutorial is good to explain the mechanics if you are unfamiliar, and the ability to play with other via matchmaking or AI is an amazing feature. The only note that I would have is that I would love to see the Mother of Dragon expansion as well. But I 100% would fully recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy board games and/or Game of Thrones.

Support Does Not Answer

After 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.

Just avoid it

My 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.

BUGGY for mobile devices; severely

Chat 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
