For being on the more expensive side for apps, I was surprised that the app won’t even let me log in to my account. I’ve tried contacting the app techs multiple times, but no one has gotten back to me. Save your money and stick to the board game.
Play through is easy and connectiong to online play is great. Playing with family across the globe.
I have the physical copy of this game, but had never really played it. The rules are a bit daunting at first, especially if you don’t have anyone who already plays to show you. This is absolutely the best method to learn the game. At this price it’s a steal. This game includes a tutorial composed of 11 concise lessons, each detailing an aspect of play. It also includes an offline mode with up to 3 bots of user specified difficulty levels. Scythe is basically Risk and Catan with some light narrative D&D encounter/choice/resolution scenarios. I would call it a post-war game. The world is beautiful and well crafted. No one is the bad guy (you don’t even HAVE to attack your opponent to win). You can play how you feel your character/country would play, or just how you feel in the moment. All of this is so very well translated to the digital version. I would be shocked if Knights of Unity weren’t big fans prior to developing this digital version. If you’re curious about Scythe, get it. If you have Scythe and want a quick method to play even without friends, get it. If you want to practice specific board/mat combinations, get it. I have it on the iPad and on my Pixel phone and both are identical and fantastic (albeit iPad is bigger/prettier). Just to clear up a couple things other reviewers mention: - You can turn on painted models by selecting Extras and then Paintshop. - Offline mode DOES work in airplane mode. You have to load the app while connected to the internet, but once it’s loaded you can leave it on in the background and it will play as normal offline mode in airplane mode. This appears to be a symptom of Apple’s stupid Game Center, not the Scythe game specifically. My Pixel doesn’t have this issue, it loads from fully closed in airplane mode, no problem. It took all of 5 minutes to figure this out, but - yeah - tank an app’s review over it. 🙄
App won’t even start- deleted
The biggest complaint I have is that to start an online game with friends everyone has to be online to join a game. You cannot send invites to offline friends. This makes it a real pain to even start a game. The second worst part is that there are no notifications. So nothing will tell you if it is your turn or if you need to take an action. This completely makes the app worthless to me. The implementation of the actual game is pretty good and the tutorials are really helpful, but there is a severe lack of quick tips on what the actions do mid game. This wouldn’t be so bad if the undo features were more robust. There are some moves you can undo, but it really needs to go further.
Really looked forward to playing on a recent flight but…. It’s has to be online so I couldn’t
I just bought the app on App Store and it wouldn’t even open. I don’t have the newest phone or iOS but I am surprised it doesn’t run because all my other apps work just fine. Not sure how to get a refund.
This would be a 5 star review if the developers would fix this one thing.
Won’t load!
