It's Okay, But Has Issues – Elder Sign: Omens for iPhone Review

For starters, I own and play the board game frequently and, unlike other games, namely Neuroshima Hex, this game is better on the table than a screen. The user interface is often confusing. Misclicks happen often with no way to undo them. There are too many cinematic transitions that arbitrarily lengthen game time. There's a transistion in between basically anything that could possibly happen and anything after that. It's borderline ridiculous. The game is slightly different as in the board game you don't auto lose when the doom track fills up. Also, I really do feel this is harder than the board game. I only lose on the table about 25% of the time over many playthroughs both solo and teaching new people. I've beaten this once. The discrepancy is too big for me to assume it's just bad luck. If you don't want the physical version (which isn't that expensive) and just need to play this, it's serviceable. But it's not for me.
