Reviews: What People Think About Eclipse - Boardgame

Hightray

Rating: 2/5

I have had this game for a few years and I decided to fire it back up after a year or so has gone by. Since it was so long I started the tutorial. When it came for the first ai player to go it got stuck on thinking and never proceeded. I could touch other ui elements and they worked but it was stuck thinking. I touched the menu button and the music changed but it was still on the tutorial screen thinking. Restarted the app and tried to resume but now the interface shows all resources at 32 and it is locked up. So sad, I do not want to try getting into a game because I don’t want it to lock up and this is not a quick 10 minute game. I hope the developers read this. I hope they fix it but to see the rating go down to a 2.6 at the time of this writing it does not appear they are taking it serious enough. There seems to be a lot of complaints. Seems like all they did was update this to note that is the first edition version. Since the 2nd edition is out perhaps they don’t care anymore. But then the update before that was 4 years ago. Abandoned? I guess buyer beware.

UPDATE (4 stars to 2 stars): -- Latest updates fix some async issues, but have made the game sluggish and crashy. Wife and I could not finish our game. A great adaptation of a massive board game to iOS, with a few quibbles: -- Async works, but it is difficult/impossible to tell what the other players did between turns. -- Chat does not persist between sessions. -- Lack of color blind options. Not a problem for me, though sometimes the pink and orange look very close to each other. -- Space battles require too many clicks. -- Research discounts are not clear (even after playing through the tutorial). This discount is already computed, which is a good thing. So I don't understand why the research icons show little discount markers above them. -- The minus signs for Advanced Robotics and Quantum Grid were confusing. In the board game these were plus signed because you gain influence tokens. That may seem like a long list, but they are really minor things. Very much looking forward to the expansion!!!

I want to like it. But I have played a handful of times and the same thing keeps happening. The game appears to stop functioning and I am presented with an endless displays of the PASS button (even thugh no AI competitors appear to move in the interim). The only way I have found to continue is to exit tp the main menu and then select "Resume". But soon again it resumes this behavior. Basically a dead app for me now. Which is a REAL shame because if this worked it would be one of my faorite apps.
