Titan HD

Indeed this is a fantastic port of an old favorite. Really catches the complex and nuanced rules of the board game, and by taking care of the bookkeeping games take a small fraction of the time the physical game would take. Graphics really capture the physical game, they look sharp and polished. Even the music and sound effects fit. The AI tactics, even on max setting, do leave some to be desired. Very reckless with their Titans, so they elim over silly battles/moves that most human players would avoid. I haven't experienced any funny business with the dice, but just like IRL the dice/RNG can be frustrating. I'd still play/buy again, and I'd recommend to any fans of the game. 5 out of 5 for a $5 board game port.

Been playing Titan board game since early 1980’s. Digital version has deep failings. The die rolling algorithm is used poorly in 2 ways, 1) It systematically discriminates against the live player (failed to roll an even number in 17 tries), and when playing against the AI, it consistently provides the AI the right roll to breed and to attack, but doesn’t provide the live player the same “fortune”. 2) When on battle-boards, there are far too many outcomes in which a 6-2, or 8-2 character rolls 4 or 5 sixes, and where 6-4 characters roll 5 or 6 ones. Also of note, the AI’s Titans are far too aggressive on the battle-boards. They move out into harm’s way too soon and the opponent can simply kill the Titan and win the battle, or game. Unfortunately, in a 3-person AI game, the AI’s will often go Titan on Titan early, providing the surviving AI a huge advantage. The AI’s make no attempt to keep creatures with breeding potential alive on the battle-boards to have a chance to breed a more powerful creature at turn 4. They are usually wasted in the first 2 turns, making the outcome predictable.

I've loved this game for well over 20+ years. Really excited to have this digital version for the iPad. The only thing that needs a little tweaking is the battle algorithm and the movement algorithm. The results for both of those can be a little skewed at times and not representative of actual results rolled on actual dice, which changes the strategy and tactics of this version of the game versus the table top version. Other than that, this game is very, very addictive!! Kudos to the developer for all the work in making this game feel and play like the original. The most recent enhancements have added a great deal of convenience (note taking for stack compositions for example). Keep up the great work....and fix those algorithms!! :)
