Star Wars: Imperial Assault

As long as your expectations are tempered this app can add hours to the base game. It is not an augmented board/video game hybrid, it is much more on par with an automa deck. It was also developed 3-4 years after the game was already released, so its a little janky. The structure of what it does is very simple, gives you a mission, randomly drops enemies in a couple of pre-defined spots, gives you a framework of what action to take when it’s the enemy turn. My guess is this app was developed after seeing the popularity of Gloomhaven on KS. Given FL Games took an already existing game, then mapped a single/co-op experience onto it, and made it free, I think it deserves 5 stars.

Need board game

Fantasy flight??? What the heck happened?!? How can you drop the ball like this. The app is really nice but it lacks a lot of campaign data. You can use this only for the core set and also for the Return to Hoth and Jaba’s Realm. Nothing else!!!! Not even expandable characters which this has a lot. Ex. When you add Luke Skywalker to the app, you would think he is a playable character but in those three campaigns, which are the only ones even though there are 3 more expansions on top of that, you can only use the characters that come with it. Why would I want to own Luke if I can’t play as him!!! Seriously. This could be as nice as Journeys in Middle Earth which is an app that fully utilizes all of the extra content that you purchase.

Don’t know why you have the bored game to enjoy this game.and it just so boring to play to

It is just a bord game it isn’t fun

I cant begin to express my disappointment after discovering that they went through the work of creating maps and models for stuff like, doors, crates, etc. but not a single character model just straight up lazy i thought i was gonna be playing an xcom like top down tactical rpg but no its exactly that just you gotta use your imagination for everything 😑

I would give this zero stars if I could

At first, this game had me going… but, due to the lack of work in this game. I have my issues, but the main issue is that you can’t see your character(s). Also… “end character?” Why would that be a feature? And due to the fact that you need the board game to play, due that -1 stars, -2 stars. Developers… please please pleaseeeee fix these issues. I’d rather eat my own eye-ball than buy the board game, but anyways… not bad.

A lot of dumb people left bad reviews because they didn’t read the description and thought this was a stand alone game. It clearly states that it’s a companion app for the board game.

I’m an IA nerd. I’ve been obsessed with this game for over a year and I’ll just say I’m involved. I’ve played games against the champion of almost every tournament IA has had in the last year. I own every box expansion and have played with almost every figure in both skirmish and campaign. So far I have played 3 campaigns in this app, and I can definitely say this app is okay. If you don’t know what this app does, it essentially gives you another campaign for each box campaign you already have. (That’s 4 of you own every expansion.) after entering everything you own in the app, you can then play you’re campaign. The campaigns are completely new and decent enough. The biggest pro in my opinion is definitely that this app allows you to play IA alone. I have spent countless hours sitting at my game table playing Legends of the Alliance simply because I was itching to play something IA. (And needed to be able to leave at a moments notice without worrying about leavening someone lfg on Slack having wasted 30 minutes.) Another pro is the way doors are structured. If you have yet to open a door, you cannot see anything on the other side of it. Plus, even things that are around corners are invisible to you. There are also a few really creative map objectives that can only be accomplished through the app. The biggest con is definitely the bad guys and allies. Many of the abilities, mostly on allies, are pretty much impossible to use or translate. You will find that it is completely up in the air whether you can even use a given supply card. Plus, it’s way too easy to simply forget to wound a hero in the app and have to face way too many imperials. Most importantly, it’s just not as fun to have to log everything in an app. While the app unlocks many things you wouldn’t otherwise have with IA, it’s simply not as fun as playing with real people. There is just so much to do in the app (and so much that doesn’t translate well) that it’s not as fun as the real thing. But that is definitely not to say the app is bad. It does as advertised. For a free app, it’s a great extra thing you can do. But while the app is free, the game isn’t. If you already have the game, I would very highly recommend that you try the app. The solo play is great if you simply have no one to play with and the co-op is fine enough if you have to play co-op. Just be sure, no matter how you play, that you always select 4 players. Divide up the 4 heroes how you want but be sure to pick 4
