HeroQuest - Companion App

Essentially if you have low numbers playing then this Free App acting as Zargon is really good, especially if you wish to play solo.

The app works well when you don't have enough people for one of the players to be Zargon. Not perfect but is free and useful so 5 stars.

The app is useful when I play with my kids, so I can play with them as well. It’s a little bit buggy. The game progress never has the characters or furniture pieces when you return, rendering it useless if you play over a couple of days. Zargon also could do with a lot more different phrases, even better would be audio descriptions when you walk into rooms for the first time. The game itself is great however and a real blast from the past

This app is really cool. It helped me learn the game quickly. Unfortunately, its not always responsive, taking back a turn doesn’t always work. Sometimes my characters can’t use their weapons to attack and there is no way to fix that. I have to start over. It’s really frustrating. Hopefully now that there will me an entry level version, Hasbro/Avalon can address these things.

This app not only makes HQ a 1 or 2-player game, it adds a sense of ambience and character through the sound and narration. There are some quirks, like the enemy ai (in new versions they attack then walk away), but overall this app is excellent. My greatest wish for the app would be the option for customization: as small as renaming enemy types or replacing their images/stats, or as grand as a quest builder. I imagine many folks like us customize their games no end—it would be incredible to bring those into the app

When??

Really enjoying that I can play this game solo now, but please make it possible to move each Hero without counting each step. This way I could play the game more on the board, than the app. It would allow me to only use the app right before a Zargon encounter, or before spawning a new area/doors/traps/etc. it would make it quicker to update the current board status on the app. The app should only be necessary when it’s necessary.

This app is pretty good. But it lacks an offline mode. I’m able to download all the maps , but once I go offline it shows I need to redownload all of them. Other than that the app works well.

Finally after years of always being Zargon, I can now be an adventurer and let the app be Zargon! That alone is worth it to me. I think the app is great so far. Looking forward to Orge Horde expansion to be added soon. Glad to see the developers are still updating the app.

Worked fine, but now the monsters are ignoring furniture. They cross through tables, stand in the fireplace, and generally go places they should not.
