Playable (and even enjoyable) but plagued by bugs
Clutch31313
Clunky interface, terribly glitchy, and local multiplayer controls are unintuitive. The game itself is really fun, but don't expect to finish every game you start. There is a very real risk of events occurring that the game doesn't know how to handle, triggering a freeze or an event loop. I've only played four games, but while I restarted two in the first wave to check out other divisions, the other two crashed in the last wave. I'm hesitant to give a game as buggy and clunky as this one a rating higher than 1 or 2 stars, but honestly there is a great game lurking under those several aggravating layers, and I can't help but try and finish a game despite them. Bugs aside, the game has a rather high-quality look to it, and I can tell that a lot of effort has gone into making the game look (and in many cases even feel) good. With a considerable amount of debugging, I could easily see XenoShyft becoming a favorite multiplayer iPad game of mine. Though it just isn't yet in that state, I'd love to come back and give a more favorable review when this product has had some of the more problematic issues ironed out!

Impossible to beat on easy, unintuitive UI, nobody playing multiplayer. Feeling robbed.
Good so far, but...

The Good: The game is fun, challenging, and has a lot of strategy. The VO is cool, and the graphics are great. Touch sensitivity seems spot-on. The Bad: The tutorial has a REALLY stupid bug, where they talk about the "DONE" button...but it's actually a "CANCEL" button (like THAT is intuitive :P). This is an easy fix that should NOT be in a professional level game (especially in a tutorial level). The game was a bit challenging to grasp, until I played the tutorial. Not a big ding for that...but it seems weird not to direct first time players into it first. The difficulty is REALLY high. When the game is on "EASY" it feels "HARD" and doesn't make me want to even see the "NORMAL" or "HARD" levels. I was playing a 1-lane solo game...but that IS something I can play so the game should scale to match. It doesn't. Beating someone down on their first try is *really* disenchanting. I will revisit the game at some future point, and it IS worth getting if you like the theme...just be aware of what you're getting yourself into.
Bugged

Game isn't even playable cuz it won't let me click done to move on after they claimed to have fixed it. I want my money back. Actually I would prefer a working app of a great table top game.
Really Great Game.

This game is fun. It's a five star game being held back by some bugs. Once they get that fixed it will be almost perfect. I liked the game so much I went on Amazon and took a look at the non digital version. It's that good! Warning it is very hard and I lose a lot. It's still fun though.
Good luck winning a game

Let me start by saying this game has potential- looks pretty stinkin cool. It is incredibly well-designed... except for the difficulty. The enemies are incredibly hard and upping the base's health doesn't help much. I have yet to actually win a game after numerous tries and I actually kindof dread booting it up, as there is this sense that you will always lose. Thus it will be one of those apps that gets lost in the depths of my phone. Save the money (I know I wish I did) and put it toward the board game- at least then you can create house rules that might level the playing field.
Still needs fixing...

Still cannot access expansions if the device is not connected to the internet when the app launches. Please fix, it will make flying so much better...
Frustrating QC still

Centipedes still don't work right since they added needing to press "Done" after every stage of combat. Games take forever and the bugs make it unenjoyable. I feel like I've given this game enough chances. I can no longer recommend buying this b Great game but SO frustrating that they don't thoroughly test each release!!!
