Great reproduction of the Avalon Hill and VG Masterpiece

The added ranking system through Apple's Game center is the missing touch that Titan always needed and none of the other online Titan reproductions have. However, this one doesn't give more than 1 turn worth of history and is incomplete information. Very much like FTF play, while you went to get a sandwich and missed everything. Online asynchronous play with vast time and multiple parallel games should allow option for a full record or replay of all info. Masterboard hexes are missing the indicators which reveal battleland orientation and entry side. I still have to go double check my actual board game when it really matters.
Great Implementation of a Great Game

The title says it, really. Besides the overdone graphics (which can be mostly fixed by a setting in the menu) this is a smooth, well-thought-out implementation of a great Avalon Hill game.
Excellent, Thinking-Person's Game

Titan is a marvelous game. Anyone who is a fan of the board game will enjoy this game. The developers did a great job porting the board game to the iPad; the game has all of the playability and features of the board game, however without the nuisances ... faster setup, moving pieces is easier, faster rolls, etc. My only warning to new players is that Titan is not an obvious game to learn how to play. The App is not designed to "walk you thru" how to play. The app does include the complete Titan instruction manual, so if you are a new player you will need to read the entire manual, or else little in the game will make sense. One surprising feature of the game is how good the AI is. Playing against the computer is reasonably challenging. And, unlike a lot of games out there, the developers did not make the AI difficult by allowing it to "cheat", instead, they coded the AI to be a reasonably intelligent player ... at least when you play against the hardest level. I do not have anything negative to say about the game, but i would like to provide a few pieces of feedback to the developers to improve an already fantastic game. On Functionality: I like the pre-battle screen which lays out the units involved with each side. I am frustrated when this screen is not displayed for mandatory battles (such as opposing angels). The pre-battle screen helps me think about my objectives for the upcoming battle. Please include the pre-battle screen for all battles, even mandatory ones. When playing against multiple computer opponents, sometimes i get bored watching them battle against each other. Perhaps have a mechanism to allow me to skip watching battles i am not involved in. Similarly, in multi-AI games, if i die early, i would like to be able to see the statistics on my dice rolls for that game, without having to watch the computer finish the game. On AI: As i said, the AI is remarkable good for this game. A few minors adjustments that i would like you to consider correcting. These are things i have noticed playing on the highest-AI level. The AI has a bad habit of placing the titan in a bad spot on the screen, particularly in Brush and Jungle battles. The titan often goes into the back corner and sits in brush, which is a horrible strategy. I suggest biasing the titan to a non-brush tile. Tower defenses by the computer, especially when the Titan is involved, are poorly done. The enemy titan starts in the center of the tower, but then often runs to the back corner. Allowing the attacker to climb the tower and fire down onto the opposing titan. Consider changing the AI for tower battles so that the Titan stays in the center of the tower. Sometimes the enemy Titan does not do well against range strikers, sometimes just sitting there until a warlock finally takes him down. Try to increase aggressiveness of the Titan against warlocks. Sometimes when the computer has a battle against another AI player, the two sides each get stuck, neither moving, and several turns pass until there is a draw. Consider putting a test in there to force the attacker to move if two turns pass with nothing happening.
Awesome game!

Well done port of the board game! Very stable. The AI is weak, but, it's a great way to learn. Playing against others all over the world is great! I love the async (non-timed) option. I can play 10 games at a time, at my convenience.
Very nice implementation of Titan

Great implementation of an excellent board game. The latest version offers some nice interface refinements. Very pleased with the ongoing support this app has gotten over the years.
Great game/app

I'm a newcomer to the world of Titan, but I'm here to stay. The app functions well and mimics the tabletop experience as well as it can. The developers are active and STILL ADDING FEATURES which enhance the experience. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and I daresay you will be as well.
Outstanding in every way

The developers could not have done a better job with this port of one of the best board games ever created. If you played tabletop Titan, you'll be delighted with this app. If you never played it, there is an exhaustive version of "The Law of Titan" included, and it's well worth the effort to learn the game. The online play works flawlessly and lets you smoothly fit several simultaneous games to your schedule, you'll play with a friendly community of user names that will soon become familiar, and the Elo rating system is way cool. Customer support was great, too, the one time that I had a glitch. They nailed this app in every way possible, and the long-term enjoyment is worth several times what they're charging for it.
