Flashy but clunky – SET Pro HD Review

Clearly, "SET Enterprizes" put a lot of effort into this game. Menus and gameplay are riddled with annoying transitions and animations. They provide you with over half a dozen gaudy backgrounds. There are new gameplay modes aren't much fun. Sadly, they neglected to make a user interface that works on a tablet. The buttons are too small, every operation feels like it takes two taps too many, and the main menu is convoluted. Oh, and of course it doesn't remember your deck preference and asks you every time. Multiplayer is especially awful. The "buzz in" button for each player is extremely tiny and in the heat of the moment will probably take several attempts to activate. Personally, I'd much prefer a simpler app. Merely ask us for the number of players and let the game begin. Settings need only include the deck (basic or full) and game end preference (marathon mode with time or number of points, or classic deck). And of course no stupid flips or dealing animations, sounds, achievements, or rule variation - just blissful gameplay.
