BattleLore: Command

I love tabletop war games and Fantasy Flight, so I love this app. People complaining about the game taking too long are clearly looking for a different kind of app. For iOS games it takes a long time, but for board game lovers it's what you'd expect. The balance didn't bother me, as the AI isn't the best, so it seems fair that it would have certain advantages. It's funny to me that some people think it's too hard to beat. Again, they're probably not tabletop dice game fans, as this is part of the experience for me. When so many games are dumbed-down these days, I like the potential to lose and refine my strategy. I beat the game the day I got it and continue to play. It's too bad no one plays online, but solo gamers can play both sides or the AI. I'm hoping for more content to be released!

I’m really enjoying this game so far - just finished the campaign. A couple of ideas to make it even better: Add a new campaign or make the current one longer ;-) Please add an ‘undo’ button for things like moving units or choosing a target unit when playing a lore card. Btw, for those considering getting this game, some people mentioned the dice being skewed - I for one think that they’re most probably blaming the dice for something which is in fact a lack of tactical skill... the dice are just fine.

I like it a lot but there should be a way to get expansions on the app to BattleLore.

This game is good except the dice. Graphics good. Story good. AI good. Dice are awful. Unfortunately the dice is most the game. The last time I played I was protecting the cattle. Enemy goes first. There are five cattle to protect. Before I got a turn 3 cattle were dead. That is 9 his on 12 dice. My turn came. I had 8 dice. I got zero hits. This is every game. It is no fun. Too bad. The board game is awesome. This is just work.

I usually enjoy fantasy flight board games, but not this one. The graphics and story art are great but the actual gameplay is not. Combat is broken into 4 sections. First one seems useless. Movement and combat are the meat of it. I REALLY dislike the way movement is done in this game. It limits your choices of what units to choose based on the battlefield being broken into left middle and right. You get to pick from a list of predefined cards of how many from each side can take action, and this gets exhausted until you take a turn refreshing it or pick another side to work on. There are some other special movement cards you can use, but this DOES NOT feel like it's a strategic choice. It feels like a limitation for some unknown reason. Combat is not good either. When you fight, units can hit, miss, push, or get a rune action. The rune result feels like it should not be a result of combat. You can use rune powers on groups when you get enough, and they are cool, but the way you get them from combat is stupid. The push action is SUPER annoying. This means sometimes when your group can hit twice, instead it pushes away and can only attack once. So these two things combined in combat result in a system that is annoying. Combine that with bad movement and you get gameplay that is not enjoyable. The only reason I rated this as a 2 star is because the graphics, and art are good, but not enough to save this game. Don't waste your $$$
