Star Wars: Imperial Assault Reviews

Know how to play

Brownbear117

Everyone that wrote a bad review, really doesn’t know how to play either the core game or this app expansion very well. Lets get something clear, nothing can really replace a human GM. This is just meant to be a way to play with your friends coop together without needing someone to be play as the imperial player. That’s awesome all in itself. And in the tutorial it explains that you do what would be best for the imperial player. Called Imperial Rule. I think it’s creative how they help the imperial player move and shoot, and then move back into cover. It makes the game more challenging! Also this app is FREE. It’s apparent how much time was actually spent making this. Not an easy task. An app I would have happily paid for but am really, really pleased that they gave it to us for FREE. If you’re complaining about this FREE app, and everything it is offering, this game is not for you. Great job FFG. Keep it up!

Does not offer the base game campaign.

This is what I was waiting for since hearing rumors that imperial assault was getting a app. I really hope they add the campaign from the core box. Would be a 5 Star app then.

Great game but Jabba’s Realm crashes

I love the game and I was so excited when Jabba’s Realm was added. Sadly, I have attempted the first mission of JR twice and both times the app crashes mid way through. When I try to load the saved game, it puts me back to the very beginning. Please fix this, Fantasy Flight!

Fun but problem

It’s a good way to play solo and help with an AI to do the rest for you so thank you Fantasy Flight for having a third way to play, but there is one thing That’s bothering me right now. In the Jabba’s Realm expansion, in middle of the first mission of the game, my game keeps constantly keeps crashing. I would appreciate if you fix that problem! Thank you!

Almost Great

I love the interaction pieces where you can choose a less then optimal strategy to get to your mission goal. It's fun to play fully co-op. I've print and played the BBG user AI and tried that way as well. I find the overall experience good. But when you're running down an imperial base hallway and a door opens to reveal stormtroopers and a WAMPA? That breaks the spirit. I could deal with a couple bounty hunters... It is at least possible. But there needs to be a pool of possible enemies for each mission not every available unit I own. I followed the progress of this app long before it was released. I own all of wave 1 and some more after that. I was hoping to start getting back into this game after its release but it's underwhelming. I played the 5 mission camping back in May. There's just now another campaign, but I'll need to buy the $50+ Jabba's realm expansion to play it? I like the 5 mission upgrade plan but what about Bespin? Hoth? Twin shadows? Or a $5 mission pack? I've already invested lots of $$$ into the system and I'd like to be inspired to continue buying. But Mansions of madness has a bunch of missions like 16, I know that a lot of those you need expansions for but road to legend also has far more then imperial assault. I'll run the main campaign again with another group on hard. But I'll certainly know the story and rooms to open/avoid. I'm just hoping for more.

A creative way to play solo.

Star Wars: Imperial Assault is a fantastic game, this app allows for single player in a new and creative way giving this game a whole new way to play it. The app is nicely design, intuitive and easy to use. The tutorials are fantastic and will teach you how to play quickly. Fantasy Flight Games continues to deliver high quality and well design tabletop games, with this app companion now there are new and more ways to play.

Great addition to the game with some weird features.

I love this app. I play IA with my kids and this allows me to be on the same side instead of being the Imps. I look forward to additional campaigns. I do agree with others that the random creatures is confusing and impacts the theme. I do not want to see dewback riders inside a starship or a wampa on a desert map. I wish there was a way to deselect individual enemies.

Mostly great

For the most part, I love the app. I have a few nitpicks though. 1: I don’t understand why FFG doesn’t add the campaigns and side missions from the physical game. My brother and I get together once or twice a month for a tabletop game night, and if the app had the story from the boxes then this would be the only game we play. 2: kind of in the same spirit as the first, new content is taking way to long to update. Circling back to my first point, you don’t even need to hire new writers. Just import one or two missions from the physical game every month or so. I’m sure that even most of the people who have already played that content wouldn’t complain.

Great game!!!

This game is so amazing, I play it with my family all the time. The only complaint I have is that one time, in the new Jabba’s realm campaign, we had received the ally Chewbacca, and when we finished the mission after it, where we didn’t bring him, we no longer had the option to bring him on another mission.

Great app offering AI game master so you can play solo or co-op

Love this app , it’s got me playing a game I had put down for a while and got me interested in expanding my collection. Having the app run the Imperials offers me the ability to co-op play with friends and family. I always get stuck being a game master which makes it so I never get to join in on the surprise story ac twist . This app does it brilliantly. Few things I would love to see 1 audio narration of story (like the Descent app) would make soo much more immersive. 2 better character stat info In app . Example when you select a hero in game you get option of defeat character and turn end . If when I click on character I could see their card stats upgrades and items it would be huge on clearing more space on game table and keeping up with info between games. 3. A damage and strain counter for characters . 4 more campaigns added to the app . I freaking love you guys . This game gives me that campaign feel that I don’t get from Star Wars Legion . Which I purchase all of product line (apps for Legion would be awesome)
