Neuroshima Hex App Reviews

Great game-even if you are not very good at it and lose a lot, its still addictive and fun!

Game looks cool, but you cant access it without signing up on an Internet account. Which you cant do. So you wont be able to actually pla it

New look is infuriating. Not enough contrast, too desaturated, and uses colors poorly. I constantly miss details now because the board is too hard to read - and was once easy. The look was a key part of the game. I actually feel a little cheated that a company can take my money (for the original game and additional armies) and change the entire look of the game. Polishing art is one thing - overhauling a look where the messaging enforces the gameplay is just terrible design. Infuriating and sad. Miss this game.

Async online multiplayer? Yes, please. This game is good. A++++ would buy again.

I love the board game but this tops it. It plays just like the board game minus setup. Able to take it anywhere and come back to a game. This is my go to "wait on kids at practice" game.

Really want the physical game as well, app is an awesome version though.

What a wonderful game. Plays fast, easy to learn by hard to master. Ive not seen the old art of previous versions. I do like the look of this version though.

Update: I never thought this game could do wrong by me BUT adding the 3.0 look with no option to switch back (I believe the 3.0 look is quite aesthetically ugly) to the 1.0 was a mistake. I still love this game but I cannot overlook this. Please add an option to change back to the 1.0! My opinion of the game: I own the board game and all the official expansions, as well as many of the homemade, user-generated ones. I play every week with a group of friends and even I must admit it makes a better app than it does board game. Buy it, buy the expansions, enjoy!

From a dedicated fan at the top of the hard leaderboard: Heads up Hex Heads: the new look is very different. New design reduces clarity and vividness. One of the best aspects was the symbology in the design. This has also been reduced. Borders between tiles are less clear. Desaturation in color and lack of borders between tiles make it confusing to recognize tiles at a glance. Modules look more confusing. Ill try getting used to it, but I think Big Daddy may have made a negative impact on user experience with this update.

This used to be one of my favorite games... Now it is unplayable. The new 3.0 update makes the different factions difficult to distinguish. The look of this game was perfectly fine, so I see no reason to change it. They either need to switch back or add an option for classic look.... How much you want to bet it will be an in app purchase... What happened big daddy, did you just want to see what it was like to fail?

You are going to see a lot of negative reviews until you give users the option to use the older art for the tiles instead of the new set in this update! Even if the new tiles werent hideous, it was still rather presumptuous to assume everyone would not care about the change or would fall head over heels in love with it. Give users the option to choose the art!

I have had this game on my iPad for years, and it is still one of my favorites, but I am very unhappy with the redesign. The developers should have made the installation of the new board and tile set optional, or even an in-app purchase, rather than an automatic update. The monochromatic board is dull, and the heightened similarity of the pieces make them difficult to recognize quickly as the board fills up. The numbering on the base pieces almost completely obscures the identification of the army. The armored edges of army pieces are much obscured, and the "big print" feel of the design makes melee and range facing indicators seem cluttered. In my opinion, the game has become much less enjoyable to play.

Then the new look as of the latest update might not seem off-putting. That aside, even with the recent changes, this is a great game, and I have been playing it for as long as I can remember. It is on my never delete list. Highly recommend. I am glad to see I was not the only fan not super enthused by the recent visual update. At first I thought it was just me.

Love the game, have all expansions, not the biggest fan of the new direction. The dev has said in responses on his website that the change was due to licensing and was not within his control, so for everyone who is upset at not having the option to switch, he didnt have the option to let us switch. That said I think this opens up a great avenue for new content including new boards themed after the various armies or even new themes or art for your favorite army, give us something we want and let us keep throwing money at you!

Great game. The newest update, changing the look of the game, is a step backward. I still give the game five stars, and hope they will give the option of returning to the old game look.

Like others, I prefer the old artwork, however its apparently not in the cards to revert back to the old look due to licensing. The game still plays as great as ever. I bought this when it first came out on iOS and it has a permanent spot on my main home screen. Its a perfect phone game: good for a quick 5 minute scrimmage against the CPU or a longer PBEM-style match. Constant updates with new armies has kept this game fresh. Highly recommended.

I personally dont mind the tile artwork as much. The board however is pretty dull and lacks that professional and flashy look. Looks like it was done in MS paint. But thats besides the point. In the physical board game, 3.0 added an extended board size option for 4 players. The bigger map made the game much more strategic IMO, but if you didnt like it, dont use it. The option is nice though. Id love for you to add that along with the other variants youve published in your board games, such as Duel.

Im the opposite! I didnt care for the "old look". Too many colors, looked like a coloring book. This look is slick, subtle but with style. Quit playing before partly because I didnt care for the layout (and I think the AI cheats) but I like this look so much Im going to get back into it. And when are the real expansions (not just armies) coming out?!

Love board games. This is one of the best iOS games. I prefer the new art.

Visual tweaks are fine, but such a radical change means I have to completely relearn the tiles. The visual language of the game has been changed substantially, and many of the armies are nearly impossible to distinguish now. Two green factions? Two grey? Three brown?! Youre killing me!
