Reviews

Brilliant! Huge replayability
N3rd4d

I’ve played hundreds of games for 30 years. I am very picky and most games bore me. This game is great. It can be replayed over and over because you can change the “tiles” that the character attacks from.


Deep, Challenging, Engaging
Heewa

Perfect for a train commute. Turn based, challenging, doesn’t get old. Love it!


Tiny Text!
SUMA59

I can hardly read the tiny text! I agree with other reviews, the game is confusing and the instructions make no sense! Only worth1$ IMO.


Absolute doo-doo

I want my four dollars back


I keep coming back

I’ve never wrote a review till now. This game is the one that deserves it. It’s challenging, has high replayability, and is mostly fair. 90% of my losses in this game are my own fault. Occasionally the wall shifts will trap me in the worst possible position, but plan accordingly and this shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve been playing this for years now. It’s the only game that I’ve never deleted from my phone.


Love it, simple and endlessly deep

One comment on recent patch - you can still use Harry build with now-outlawed range-ish options by copying a friends board that used them back when they were legal. I would prefer to see, and ideally help develop if I were better, a new Harry meta. I like that last sentence.


Amazing!

A truly incredible game, and it explores its mechanics to its utmost.


A near perfect game
TonyRobots

Imbroglio is possibly the most elegant game I’ve ever played.


Love new mode with one big exception
darknightkcmo

You can read other reviews for general impressions of the game, but in general this is a near perfect game. I love the new draft mode, except that you can only play the level you create once. It takes too long to be recreating boards over and over to only be able to play it once. Unless I am missing something. Please please change that so we can play each board unlimited until we decide to move onto the next board.


Masterful Tactics!
G u i s e

Imbroglio rules in many ways. Its awesomeness is impossible to overstate. It is challenging, clever, complex, and boss.
