Star Wars: Imperial Assault Reviews

Disappointing

ElizLestrad

While the app is certainly pretty to look at, it should be specifically mentioned that this app should be treated as a variant of Imperial Assault, but not as the game itself. This is because the app employs several “house rules” that are NOT part of the core game rules set, such as unit bonuses. The app is also missing several critical features on launch that are required in an app meant to fully automate Imperial Assault: 1. Full compatibility with all current Imperial Assault products, excluding expansions AND written materials such as campaigns. 2. Full AI automation. This would include the app tracking player movements, hit points, and other stats for the players and itself to allow the AI to make informed, strategic decisions. As it stands right now, the “AI” does none of those things, leaving the player to decide how it should act. This ultimately means that the players are never surprised at how the app will act because they are always presented with the possible outcomes and are made to make the decisions for the app because, while it should be able to so the work itself (the whole point of such apps in the first place), it lacks the artificial intelligence to do so. After such a long time, very disappointed overall...

Finally the app we all wanted!!!!

This looked like it would be an enormous help to me since I only have a couple other people to play with and when one of us plays the empire it becomes a little ridiculous. But this app has major problems. The main problem is that it isn’t what it says it is since there is NO AI and the players are just expected to activate the empire’s troops with a small and set number of actions. In addition, many of the imperial troops have been tweaked so that they are better or worse than they were in the core game. If you’re looking to add a free campaign to your collection, albeit a short and very inaccessible one, this app is for you. But if you’re looking to replace the empire’s player with an effective AI, this app simply can’t do that for you. Really hoping to see some major changes in the future though.

A lot of fun

Was not what I expected when they announced a app, but what a pleasant surprise! A fun new way to play the for up to 4players. I do hope they add a campaign tracker for the regular game, but can’t wait for updates that include more expansions.

Desperately needs a back button

Awesome app but really needs an undo/back button for when you accidentally hit the wrong button. It was a major buzzkill on our first mission and caused us to fail the mission when we shouldn't have.

Depressed

It was so bad

Good, but a few tweaks please

I’ve had a good experience with this app, i find it is a pretty good way to bring low-key players into the game while letting the more experienced players handle the imperial activations. It is also finally possible to play solo. It could do with a “go back button”, or a few extra “are you sure?”, especially for the imperial activations as I have accidentally hit the button before I was ready to move on. I hope they give us more material as they develop it, the 5 missions left me wanting more.

Great App

Imperial Assault sucked before this app! I have had this game sitting in my closet for almost 2 years almost threw it in the trash multiple times. Only minor tweak I can ask for is a random mission generator but other than that the app is perfect.

Great Companion App

Legends of the Alliance is a great addition to Imperial Assault. Loved the atmosphere the app creates in game through sound effects and attention to Star Wars detail. Was a great experience and I’m looking forward to additional content.

I Was Excited; I Am Disgusted

A couple friends and I just tried learning how to play Imperial Assault using this app. We were excited. Things were going pretty well through the first tutorial. Things got pretty awful during the second tutorial. To the point where my friends don’t ever want to use this app again; and I almost don’t ever want to play this game again. It was disappointing that the app doesn’t track the players. It was annoying trying to figure out some of the enemy’s actions. It was God awful dealing with the fact that the app stats and powers for the enemy units were completely different from the stats on the player cards at least half of the time. I was thinking about beginning to pick up some of the board game’s expansions, but right now I’m not interested in throwing away any money into this pit after my initial experience using this app’s support. This is a half-baked app. I know a lot of people were excitedly waiting for this app, including me, but this app should have been cooked throughly before it was released.
