Ratings and Reviews
Needs Stats
I like this game a lot. Pretty fast moving. But it needs to have a way to save one’s statistics. Otherwise I’d have rated it 5 stars.
Developer Response ,
Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Spades. Thank you for your review. We have recently added detailed statistics. Thank you for the suggestion.
AI Plays Ridiculously, and Ads Are LOUD
You’d think the AI would be set to play at least somewhat like a human...but no. Random cards thrown at random times. AI has the Ace of hearts on a 12 bid? AI will probably throw the 10 of hearts instead. Don’t expect your AI to cover a nil!
Also, the ads are hella loud and you have to search for the volume button to mute. Why not have silent ads so one could play in public (on a plane or his or at the DMV) without disturbing others? How am I supposed to play during boring work meetings with your LOUD ADS????
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. The AI on level 3 uses human based rules. The AI will play more human like than the more advance levels 4+. Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation based AI to determine the plays. The AI will play better than the AI on level 3 on average, however it does make some odd plays. We are working on improvements.
We are working on improving the ad based experience. We also offer an in-app purchase to remove ads.
Not Fair
I noticed that if I go over my bed I get the penalty of 100 points but the other team can go over in their bed and not get a penalty of 100 points that happened twice in the last game I played this game is not fair. Also, you could tell that your partner makes mistakes that should not be made that increases our chance of losing the games.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. We have not seen an issue with the penalties. If you see this again, please send us more details of when this happens at support@neuralplay.com. We are working on improvements to the AI players.
