Black Plague Companion Reviews

Works great

I love using this companion for Black Plague and I can’t wait for the Green Horde companion

Gigantic app

chuckmyers

Over 900MB? That’s completely unnecessary. Pare this down, compress some images, optional downloads, something... I’m not giving a gig to one app - that’s insane.

Great App - please add support for Friends & Foe

daustx

I really like using the app. Currently I am using it for Black Plague and Wulfsburg. I like it for keeping up with the next player, player stats and drawing the zombie cards. It makes keeping track of everything much easier. We enjoy drawing the equipment cards separately so haven’t used that feature yet. Only disappointment is that I just ordered the Friends & Foe expansion and the app doesn’t support it even though the expansion is supposed to work with Black Plague, Green Horde or both. Please update the app as I don’t want to stop buying expansions....

First player turn order doesn’t change correctly

Toomanybarts

Zombicide modern app does this properly : first player moves “clockwise round the board”. This Black Plague app doesn’t do this, it’s the same order every round. (I’m playing solo btw) Would also like to be able to just use the app to manage the equipment and spawn decks and not have the app manage the hero players at all.

Great opening, need UX polish

Gefahrmaus

Love this aid! Withholding a star for the UX gaps that frustrated this veteran player: Zombie turn is next to absent. I found that it simply wasn’t at all managed. Understandably, it’s a displaced experience as the game is taking place “off camera” if you will. However, it should be a guided mode in-app, not simply a marque wiping across the screen. Pause and present Attacks with the heroes arrayed for resolution selection. Done, advance to Move. Done, advance to Zombie Deck. Done, advance to next player turns. Equipment and Zombie decks should have visible discard piles to provide some indication of progress though the deck, and the last ten, five, or three cards slightly “open” or “fanned” to visualized the end of the deck is approaching. Borrow ideas from Forgotten Island or any solitaire game on the app store. Trade should have a drop icon to open the hero/player drawer. Defence or Armor rolls felt unpolished, but maybe just needs an introduction screen somewhere. Well done still! I’ll be bringing this to games a lot! Looking forward to improvements!

Good, but Imprefect

When starting a game, I should only be able to see the survivors for the expansions that I own. I get that you’re advertising, but it’s thoroughly annoying having to scroll through survivors I don’t own. Also, I would appreciate the option to type the survivor I’m looking for (preferably with quick name recognition/ suggestions). I know this is a small improvement and relatively petty, but it’s another thing I have to set up in an already demanding set up. I believe this small improvement would be a great improvement over the scrolling option. Another thing I would appreciate is the option to “reset.” Sometimes all hell breaks loose in the game, and my wife and I find ourselves doomed early on. I should be able to reset the stats quickly to start a new game (with all of the survivor names/ pictures saved). As It is now, I have to re-input all names and scroll through countless survivors I don’t own to get a new game started (it’s annoying and time consuming). Last, I think it would be good to have a more prominent “Zombie’s turn” screen. This should have a checklist telling you to move the zombies, check for any attacks, and spawn new zombies at all spawn points. The current “zombie turn” text scrolls by in an instant and is easy to miss if my eyes aren’t glued to the screen. I’ve missed it several times and have had to go back/ restart when I’ve realized that my survivors have had way too many turns without zombies. Other than that, it’s a wonderful app. I’m really just trying to help improve it. Take care.

Where’s Bruce & Ice Blast?

Until the character “Bruce” and the card “Ice Blast” are added I can’t give this app an appropriate rating. Please add these to the game and then I can provide a full rating and review. Thank you.
