Rather than launching this as a new app, they replaced the existing game. So any reviews prior to Dec 6th 2021 should be taken with a big grain of salt since it is no longer the same app. Similar perhaps, based on the same physical game, but not the original game all those reviews were for. This new one starts off badly by forcing you to pick a name before you can even get to the main menu, tied to some online functionality that I did not consent to or have any interest in! This resulted in several minutes of not accepting any choice of mine until I finally entered a garbage string of characters just to get past this (even if it will obviously not be usable in any meaningful way with other players) Then I went to "Restore Purchases" which does not work! I understand that they want to generate more revenue, which would be fine if this was a separate game, since it has a different name, different (online) play system & different icon. Instead they replaced the existing, still working game... presumably to generate renewed purchases. No thanks. The only positive aspect is that this serves as another cautionary tale about the volatility of digital marketplace purchases.
This game was nice and I play it often the only main problem I can think of is the fact in the campaign sometimes when you finish a level and close the app and then come back a little later the work you did on those previous levels disappear and you have to do them again it gets really frustrating when a lot of times I have to redo the same levels over and over again and it’s not even guaranteed for them to stay completed not to mention I also have to do the hard levels over again and when I do finally complete them the progress just reverts making the campaign basically unplayable everything else is great except for a few glitches here and there but overall pretty good I like how you can see sketches of the unique animals Edit: Thanks for responding you were right something wasn’t syncing thanks
I played the board game a few years ago and was instantly hooked. It’s an intriguing concept that is well executed. It’s always fun to come up with what your creature might look like, with the different traits it has. In terms of improvements, there are a few things that don’t feel immediately apparent. For instance, you can zoom out of your opponents turn and handle your own instead of having to wait until they’re finished. It’s a fun game that seems a bit complicated, but flows really well once you get the hang of it. There are a few bugs here and there, especially in terms of trying to create an account. Me and my friends all recently got it, and almost all of us had trouble with the account creation process, with it not notifying us that the account had been created or not, maybe sending a confirmation email would help with that? I sincerely hope we get to see some expansions to the game! Having even more trait cards in play, like those from the Climate or Flight expansions, would increase the fun even more!
