Great core game but a frustrating port
I bought STS both on PC then iPad believing it should be a perfect game for portable time killing. It is. Or rather it would be but there are some absolutely horrible control scheme issues. Card positioning - you cannot read the card type of each card as they are slightly off the bottom of the screen. When you drag them with a finger then the card snaps to the touch and your finger hides the card type. Inadvertent card play - so so many times I have lost the game thanks to the cards being difficult to select reliably. Oftentimes you try to pick one and drag it only to have another card go in its place. Additionally, very often at the start of the round on card might but standing up a little as if you have selected it - and careful anxious attempts to return it to the hand usually result in it being played. Horrible scrolling through the deck. When you are presented with the option to upgrade, or remove etc a card from the deck then the deck is presented with a tiny scroll bar on the right side. It’s more intuitive to scroll anywhere just like you would with a website etc. but if you do that it is a awfully easy to select any card you touch, and there’s sometimes no confirmation dialogue - so you might remove a card from your deck. These horrible ui features absolutely break my connection to what is otherwise an incredible and fun strategy game.
