Wizard Hex App Reviews

Seriously...

Trouble Brothers LLC, you guys definitely copied Chinese Checkers. Wizard Hex is nearly exactly played like Chinese Checkers, which gets boring. One star for the graphics, and deleting this app.

Needs sound options!!!

Huh?

Read the instructions, played for a while, and still no idea how it works. Its pretty though.

Awesome Game

My friend and I got this game. There is a bit of a learning curve. We watched the You Tube video a couple of times and it still took us a few minutes at the end of the first few games to figure out why we won. But I think we know most of it now and the game truly shines. Just because a strategy works once does not mean it will work the next time. The AI does seem like it is there to show you how to play. I think it would be cool if the multiplayer option could be offline. By this I mean that I could take my turn and then do other things while my friends take their turns. Currently you have to both be on only the game the entire time. Thanks for a great game!

Kinda sorta

Might be fun, if it would load...crashes 9 out of 10 times I try to open it

Beskargam

Thought the game was great- if hard to start- I only wish that the AI was tougher- but it has a lot of potential- my suggestions tougher AI, a tutorial, and maybe a new board or some special game changing effect.

Already very good

Wizard Hex is,as it stands, a more than passable classic abstract board game. The unique aspect is being able to use neutral (and sometimes opposing) pieces to your advantage. The developers have a full plate with their proposed future additions to the game. If they continue to support this product, the game can only get better. Recommended.

Not perfect, but wanted to give it 5 stars anyway

Just because I appreciate what the developers have produced. This is a very simple, easy to learn, yet ultimately very deep game. Modern day Go or Chess is an apt description. The graphics are superb, the interface is classy, and I have never experienced crashing on my iPad 2. Looking forward to the rumored potential update that will make it a little more wizardly, but I hope those rules are optional, as spells and whatnot might turn off some new players. I havent pushed the limits of the AI yet, but I havent found the first two levels of difficulty to be much of any trouble. But Im too chicken to try out the master level... Anyway, well worth my money and time!

Dont buy

I am giving this game 5 stars but at the same time I am saying dont buy. There are not enough people playing this game to make it worth while since you only get to play against the computer. They should refund peoples money and give this app away to get people playing.

Good game!

As has already been said, its a simple game to learn but it can have deep strategy to it. A good brain teaser that can make your brain sweat! It looks so good graphically that it makes me want to find an Onyx version of the physical board game! :-)

no stats, no records, no GC achievements.

No stats for gameplay time, wins/losses, rounds played. ZERO replay value (thanks to lack of stats). Good idea but why not add stats? Ive played and won 10 matches, solo. NOTHING on the leaderboard. Just lame.

Unbelievable

I have had more apps than I can count. I have never bothered to review one before. That should be a testament to how well made this game is. Perfect mix of simplicity and strategy. I dont know if this game was a new concept or not but its like theyve reinvented chess.

Promised updates?

This game was good - WITH the promise that updates would come. It seems to have been abandoned.

So much potential

I am very impressed with this game, maybe more so than any other iOS game that Ive had. Unfortunately it seems to have been abandoned. Shame! All you need to do is add asynchronous play so that the few people playing can connect and then run a price cut or giveaway to raise awareness about this wonderful game.
