Wizard Hex App Reviews

I need more detailed rules of this game. Präsentation very good, means the graphics. AI I am not quite sure, currently I won every game.

The game is really an eye catcher. Sound and graphics are engaging and create a great atmosphere. The gameplay can be simple but can also get really complex, especially the more players you have. Even though the game itself is quiet simple the winning conditions are not very clear in the manual. Maybe a tutorial that also covers the winning conditions would complete the game experience.

I like the potential. That being said, it is no where near its potential yet. Pros: concept and design. Cons: no clear instructions ( look online if you want some), crashes every game played thus far, not complete (think about playing Magic CCG without spells.) Ill revisit my opinion when new mechanics are introduced and the stability issues are resolved. At this time it is hard to see past these issues.

I Dont understand why its more then other 1 doller aps. I played it about 3 mins and figuerd id seen all it had to offer. But i never rely like chinese checkers the first time i played it.

I really love this game! I cant wait for the spells though! Cant be Wizard Hex without magic!

I agree with the previous reviewer that this app is released too soon. There are numerous User Interface issues with this app that interferes with actually playing it. I wish I could get a refund.

Love the idea and gameplay is strategic and fun. The instructions are good enough to get started and now after playing only 10 games in a row at Master level I have yet to loose. I find it way to easy and an by no means a braniac :-) please release spells quickly before I loose interest on the first day. I really like the polish and can say that once the computer AI gets smarter and more challenging, this could become my favorite board game ever. Online multiplayer will make it great as long as it incorporates a ranking system to match players of similar strength. Once that happens I will give it 5 stars no problem.

An interesting premise and graphically polished game marred by some pretty basic flaws. The instructions could be clearer and better laid out. Theyre stuck at the end of document that includes a lot of diverse and largely unnecessary information. The apparently lack of a restart button makes learning strategy slow: once youve made a critical mistake in the opening you have to wait out the whole game to start again. A restart button and better documentation would bring four stars.

The visual design of this game trumps nearly every other iOS board game. Its very beautiful to look at. Its also nice to see a new board game created specifically for the platform. However, the oddly unintuitive access to the rules and the lack of tutorial make it difficult to get excited about playing the game.

This game sets a really high standard for wonderful 3d rendering of the game pieces. It just feels great to move the discs around. The underlying game logic is pretty fun and I can see myself having a lot of fun playing it with friends. It plays a lot like a complex multi-colored checkers game but with tons of style. Its also pretty simple to learn (like checkers) so you could teach someone to play in a few minutes (though theyll need to play a bit before they know good strategies). If you have friends who like things like this then its a good investment, its a perfect board game for iPad. There IS a tutorial and it explains the game well, its in the rock with the question mark on it, just scroll past the "news". This could probably be cleaned up to make the tutorial easier to find (other reviewers seem to have missed it entirely!) The AI is kind of depressing though. I have beaten it every time I played including my first game! I tried the difficulties but theyre really just variants of the game with less moves, and the AI just keeps losing. Maybe Im just a master strategist but I dont think so. Im used to losing a few times before I win a match on a new strategy games like this, so I have a feeling that in this case its the AI that is just not particularly intelligent or strategic.

I played several matches with my brother and we were addicted right away! We even got our parents involved and they found it very interesting, which shows that its simple rules, but deep strategy is alluring to people of all ages! Have fun everyone! :)

Not enough users to find online opponents, which wouldnt bother me if the AI was even the slightest challenge. Even on Master, its a guaranteed win. Its an interesting game, but I havent been challenged on it, so I have to give it 2 stars because its just not fun without a challenge. Ill have to dump the app... But Ill check back for updates to the AI and number of reviews. Theres potential, but not there yet.

Seriously reboot the app, get some advertising and put in multiplayer along with achievements, new board skins & perhaps new board pieces for certain achievements...instant longevity...youre welcome.

If you like board games, youve gotta get this one. Its a completely fresh concept and is really fun. Easy to learn but has a ton of depth. (No its not based on a physical board game - this is it right here.)

Crashes mid game and exits out. Needs tutorial on how to play, not sure about player menu its kind of confusing about human player vs computer players and who controls what with the drop down scrolls.

its a stunningly beautiful looking game. but I can beat the computer every time even on master level. please make the AI more competitive. and online multiplayer would be amazing.

Its not even worth a penny!!!!

I found this difficult to figure out. There is not much in the way of instructions within the game.

Addendum 1/7/11: I already wrote a review, but I just wanted to update my 5 stars for your new version. The game is still beautiful, well designed, fun . And with absolutely no crashes or problems on either iPhone4 or iPad!! PS. Thank you Monkey Fritz. for the excellent description!! ------------------------- I have had too many apps and updates of apps that crash or wont load and run lately. So I just wanted to say thanks for the care and quality you put into this app. And the detailed description of what is yet to come was most appreciated as well. This app is gorgeous, plays wonderfully, and no problems with the update. I will look forward to further updates and other apps you may release.

Needs a better tutorial in the game and not just a list of rules.
