Imperial Settlers Roll & Write

So, Im ranked in the top 5%. I keep playing and playing and playing and..... I can not get to the next level to open new levels. It is a really horrible tease to show more levels but have no way to access. There was no warning up front of what it would take to get more levels. Beyond irritating.

I stumbled upon this game, and I’m so glad I did. It’s perfect for a casual gamer like me who wants something interesting, with some depth, but not overly complicated, that can be played in a few minutes, like during a break from work. The design is awesome and the UI as easy as can be. If you read the short manual, then play once with the tutorial, the strategy will start to click and you’ll get the hang of it quickly as you continue to play. I really appreciate the fair up-front price with no ads or unfair IAP. This developer did a great job, and I appreciate that. We need more developers like this who monetize the right way. Thank you so much for making this game! It’s really fun to have a board/dice game you can play here and there when you have time.

As others have said, developers would stand to benefit from actually listening to reviewer feedback and making level unlocks cheaper. It’s a great game but sadly I will never experience more than half the content because I do not have the time to play the same levels over and over again to grind crowns. Some is ok but it is too much. Great game with a pretty good implementation for mobile.

This app is actually based on the board game of the same name from Portal Games. It’s plays quick and is relatively simple to learn. As you play, you get different buildings to play with so it a always changing (you could also replay the same setup an infinite number of times). The tutorial provides everything you need to know to play. Over time you will learn the strategies to get better scores! Perfect game for those small down times at the doctors office, etc!

Agree with other reviewers. Maps progressively require more wins to unlock which I like to a certain degree, but it’s too much. The player board is not viewable in certain situations where it would be helpful to see. And the undo button is limited to the main action phase. Aside from this, the game is entertaining.

I can not get the game to work. Frustrating, it loads then crashes

I was looking forward to this game since I saw Rodney Smith demonstrate the physical dice game on his YouTube series “How It’s Played.” However, my local board game store never got it in stock and I never got around to ordering it from Amazon. When the digital version finally debuted, I was really excited to finally get to play it, but by then I had forgotten how to play it. Well, the iOS version doesn’t exactly help that, the “tutorial” is just a quick overlay and the manual requires tons of scrolling through text. I rewatched the How It’s Played video and was able to jump right in. Once I got started playing, I quickly fell in love with the game. While I would love to have all of the maps available, I do appreciate then replayability and having to choose your next one carefully. I sat down with the intention of playing one game and before I knew it, I had completed 6 games and unlocked multiple maps. Definitely going to be playing this game for awhile.

What is the point of requiring you to replay levels so many times to unlock additional levels. Will never buy another Portal game again.

Sadly, when automatically offered a reroll (Canteen) in Settlement #2, it is not possible to view your play area to be able to better decide how to proceed. Working mechanics is already in place on other screens (tap and hold outside of the dialog box to hide it temporarily). Why in some place but not in another? :^(

Really good implementation overall. Wish the cloud save functionality was working so my progress would follow me between iPhone and iPad. When they fix this it will be a 5 star rating.
