Not as good as the original Talisman
ShawnZzzzzzzz
I have played dozens of games of the multi-character Talisman and was expecting a similar level of satisfaction. There are a few things just wrong with this game that make it painful to play: 1) It loses your game. If you exit the game in the middle, after a while it forgets where you left off and you have to start all over again. The other Talisman game remembers where you left off, and when it doesn't it has saved your progress so you can continue. 2) The UI is worse than the regular Talisman game. The regular game allows you to make most decisions on the right side of the screen. For some reason they moved things around so now you are tapping on different sides of the screen, far less convenient. The UI also wastes a lot of your time by delaying the action and repeatedly telling you how spaces and cards work that you already know. There is no setting to speed it up either. 3) The game appears to be based on random gameplay. It seems like most objectives are to draw cards until you find the one you want. You are also ranked based on how quickly you meet the objective. These two things do not go well together. It would be better if the objective was less random, or if you were not measured on how quickly you can draw a card from the bottom of the deck. Much less satisfying than the regular Talisman game. Not worth paying for unless they fix these items.
Awesome Game

I love this game! It is a lot of fun, just like the original board game. I hope more Fantasy Flight board games are made into apps! Please keep adding additional content like the board game. BTW, I have experienced no bugs in the the game. I own iphone 4s
Nostalgia title

Competent port of a mediocre board game. If you have fond memories of Talisman you will probably like it otherwise it is just a boring randomized experience : roll 1-2 to win or 3-6 to lose.
Love it!

But I wish the game would save when you leave the app. I was pretty far in a quest, and had to set it down to take care of something and when I came back my progress was gone. Would be 5 stars if it didn't do that.
Better with "save"
Wonder-to-wisdom
This is a great implementation of a classic board game that would be significantly improved with a "save" feature. I have found that you can continue playing after leaving the game and then returning, but the game restarts at some point, like it's on some timer. Probably has something to do with my iPad 2's memory. The game state may be stored in RAM but once crowded out it evaporates. Plus, only one player can play at a time. A single game can last a while, so this can be a problem. It's still a very engaging game, especially if you have the time to start and finish.
Something missing...

This is a great game and all but I feel like it's the same over and over, I think it could use a good multiplayer feature with a pass and play style. I feel the game would be more exiting if I wasn't just getting the crown of power, but I was racing to it! And if you add this, make sure to add working ai too!
