Root Board Game

this is really good game. Just need to increase player size and up to date with the physical edition

Why today its very laggy

I tried mirroring to my Apple TV and now The sound on the game only works when I connect AirPods. I’ve deleted the game, restarted my phone and nothing works. Can only be played with headphones now. Never had a chance to even start my first game. 0/5 do not recommend. Edit: The sound issue is caused by the iPhone being on silent mode. This is not a bug with the developer, but rather a feature, according to Apple’s technical literature regarding silent mode on the iPhone 14 Plus. I have changed my rating to a 5, because the app is actually amazing after resolving the sound issue. If you are experiencing no sound on while using this application on iOS, be sure to check that your sound is not on silent.

A nice implementation; works great on mobile; cross platform seems to work seamlessly.

It’s hard to imagine a better digital version of a board game than this one. it’s a great way to learn the game and can be played quickly in this format. I’m playing on iPad and controls and screen size is perfect.

Worth the cost to buy it, but playing multiplayer, my friends and I have had plenty of instances where one of us is frozen. So they then need to leave the game and re-join. When you re-join a game, it shows you the last few turns that you missed, and this feels like such a waste of time, watching an unskippable cutscene of turns that you’ve already watched. If they could just add a “skip recap” button that would be great. Also, not freezing during online play would be nice.

I’m sure this is a great game, and I really want to learn it. Unfortunately, this app is pretty worthless for me since the text size is absolutely microscopic without any way to increase it. It’s a shame since there’s plenty of screen real estate that could be used. Edit 6/24: the devs reached out rather quickly following this review to offer a series of nonsensical, unhelpful comments. Minus one more star.

Why can’t I check the board after the game is over? Often times there’s a win and I’m confused about how the opponent one. It happens so fast. Also, I feel like the tutorial missed some important points. I had to watch a YouTube video on how to play after the tutorial.

Played this one time after a few tabletop games of ROOT. The app is really great in most ways, brilliantly done and offers a nice experience for users. Artwork, music, sound effects, and navigation are all super pleasant and aesthetically on point. One grievance: Per the Law of ROOT, when the Eyrie enter Turmoil, they depose their current leader and *choose* their new leader, however the app chose for me when I played the Eyrie and went through Turmoil once during the game. It’s a major strategy point for the Eyrie to be able to choose their new leader because of the leader’s special ability as well as the correlating placement of the loyal viziers.

Add a “fast forward through opponents’ turns” option. Having to rewatch three opponents for each turn is a pain. Other than that small adjustment…amazing!
