Bare minimum

Mr. Man-Dude-Guy

I hate that they give you the bare minimum and still take away some of that is you don't pay

Don't upgrade to latest version

Sprightki

They removed pass and play and hard AI features for free users. I get that the developer needs to make money, and they probably should never have given these features away in the first place, but no warning or grandfathering in of existing users is incredibly poor form.

Amazing game

ProWineTaster

Game: Love the game! Latest Improvements this version: Cool improvement showing when a ship is copied! Also the Arena idea is really cool. Active and Recent games: I wish there was an easy way to filter active/lost/won games with better notifications. Lost games: Many times my lost games are forgotten as they tend to just appear at the end of a horizontal arrow scroll list. I’m envisioning a lost filter with a badge showing recently lost games to make it easy to review the score and analyze the game to learn from it.

Newest update

More than just bug fixes. Hard mode vs AI is now locked until you pay to unlock it. Really tryin’ to get some of that $$$ out of us! Ah well, already bought to physical game so I’ll just uninstall this and continue to play that instead

Good, but HUGE. 990mb!

This is a great, fun game. I bought the actual physical game, I liked it so much. I would rate it higher, 4, maybe even 5 stars, if it weren't so ridiculously huge. There is absolutely NO reason this app should be almost a gigabyte. Their programmers need to seriously tighten up their code, or something.

Nickel and diming us.

Game has lots of lag delays that can easily cost you the win during online play. Add to that the new Arena, which is a blatant pay-to-win cash grab. I already bought ALL your expansions. Now you add a new feature I have to pay even more to play? What a terrible way to treat your customers. Oh and another thing: You concede an online game and the other player still gets to play out all their cards, preventing you from starting a new game for several minutes. How annoying is that? Just end the dang game so I can start the next one.

AI cheat + Crashes intermittent.

Mmm-Key

Paper game is fun and SUPER random and often based on luck or one or two actions after a certain skill level. This however: 1) Crashes randomly on iPad mini 1 + iOS 9.3.5. Not as bad as before so +1 star... BUT in normal online mode, it takes approximately 30-40s to reopen game to actionable state, so I usually forfeit a turn by like a couple seconds... Arena thankfully gives longer turns! 2) AI in chapter 2 so obvious not random cards. Dumb. Is this online gambling? Stop lying to your patrons guys... Seriously... WE ARE NOT STUPID! ADMIT AI CHEATS IN STORY MODE ON THE MISSIONS YOU HAVE PROGRAMMED IT TO, LIKEWISE TRADE DECK IS MANIPULATED ON THESE SAME MISSIONS! Make these missions harder by changing RULESET in a creative way, not just cheating and lying about it when accused by people on iTunes. Responding directly to another user's comment about this by denying it is pretty disgusting. It's not like you're a publicly traded company... 3) Bug in new arena mode: event cards played too late so I could not discard bc full hand played. It was supposed to fire but didn't, but then after I played my hand it made an overlay for me to select cards, but I couldn't select anything from my empty hand to discard... Forget how I got out of overlay... There was no "none" button .... 4) most of the expansions should be half of what they are

Boring game. Doesn’t come with anything.

Immersive, satisfying game with a few flaws

Flamingjellyfish

Super fun. Love the campaigns. Lots of variety. Definitely sufficient challenge. There's some problems, e.g. if you're mostly doing campaigns the process to buy the next expansion is more awkward than it should be, and some of the achievements seem very arbitrarily. I'm several expansions in and I've yet to encounter a game that I couldn't beat on hard mode, although sometimes it takes a lot of tries and good luck on top of good strategy. An undo feature (e.g. if you play a scout and then realize you wanted to use patrol mech's ability to scrap it) would be good. Also ally ability draws happen automatically, whereas I believe proper gameplay is you should be able to put off using the ally ability, for instance if you want to buy a card first. Also the log is all but unreadable, which is a problem because the opponent's gameplay is often too fast to follow easily. So, yeah there's some things that could be cleaned up or improved but I don't care because it's really fun. Incidentally I appreciate that star realms (the card game and the app both) give a sense of being fast-paced and urgent but aren't actually time-sensitive; if I need to pay attention to something else for a moment I can do that and come back to the game without needing to pause or ruining my chance to do well.

Best game ever made

Darbarinyc

I'm a big fan of turn based strategy and this game is so well balanced it kind of blows my mind. I continue to discover that my old methods were flawed and improve my game. The app isn't shiny and polished but it gets the job done. I've easily logged days of game play and never encountered a bug that impacted play. All the reviews complaining about cost are ridiculous! Go open the MTG app and check out what it means to be over priced.
