Terrible
CompleteFail
No AI, only two players, intro not in English, cumbersome implementation of board game rules,and at least one bug where I couldn't place my metropolis. Ugh. Waste of 6 dollars. If all was fixed, maybe worth 2 dollars.
Could be worse?

Great game, decent implementation, but too many bugs. It showed us how we were playing incorrectly in real life, but we haven't been able to finish a game yet because it freezes all the time. Developer, if you fix freezing and add AI, we'll buy another copy and tell our friends!
Great Game, Very Bad App

I love the board game so as soon as I saw the app I got it. I made the mistake of not reading the reviews first. This app is worthless. No AI means that you only can play with other people. If I am going to play this game with other people I will play the board game itself. I don't see anyone choosing to play this app over the actual board game. That being said there is no reason what so ever anyone should get this app.
Not ready for release

As a HUGE fan of the boardgame, I'm very disappointed in this app. No AI, no online multiplayer, no tutorial for new players, no WiFi multiplayer. This app is limited to 2 pass-and-play humans sitting next to each other, and it doesn't even have a very friendly interface for that limited market. If I'm getting together with a buddy to play Cyclades, there's NO WAY I'd use this app over the tabletop boardgame. This app is going to need a lot of improvement to pull itself out of the gutter. It can be done, but my recommendation to others would be to wait and see. It's not ready now.
Useless

No AI, and only 2 player? I regret buying this, even though the board game itself is excellent. It just deserves a better implementation.
For all the reasons others have said...

This is a flawed version of a good game. No AI, only 2 player, the interface is buggy... It really needs work to be worthy of the table top original.
Can't say how disappointed I was...

Absolutely awful sophomoric attempt at iOSing a legit board game. If you like Cyclades the board game then this will be pure torture for you. Maybe in 2 years if a completely different set of developers spent an hour a two per month rewriting this then their version would still be infinitely better. I can only imagine a 12 year old developed this game and then went to bed happy believing they had put something good out into the world.
