BattleLore: Command 9+

As others have said, it's an excellent game, but brutal. Some of the campaign maps feel a bit like grinding but others are well balanced. I actually like dice in my war games because it reflects the vagaries of war. However, scoring no hits from 4 rolls of my archers, followed by 3 hits from 3 by the enemy is very frustrating. The problem is not the dice per se, but the extreme results that are possible from the rolls. You can play the same tactics and lose heavily or win heavily, depending on your luck.

Still a very well made and enjoyable game, but could be better with a few tweaks on the dice.

Well made game with good production values. Enjoying single player but multiplayer has a problem. Whoever plays the bad guys can just spam 6 demon lords making them almost impossible to beat. This concentrates their force into fewer units meaning they can move a greater percentage of their army and attack with a greater percentage each turn. It also means that when they are hit they are less likely to lose a unit. There is no advantage to fielding an army with more units spread out. We have played each game type and in each case 6 chaos lords defeats whatever is sent against them. The roc warrior is not as strong. I have the board game and it only comes with one chaos lord. This should have been the limit set on the app too.

Interesting and compellingly deep turn-based tactical combat, with excellent campaign mode. It is very challenging and even if you are making good decisions, the AI will win from time to time, but I wouldn’t say the virtual dice are rigged as some others suggest. With randomness, improbable results do occur and good strategy helps to mitigate that over time. Would be nice to see better set-up for online multiplayer - e.g. like Lords of Waterdeep, Terra Mystica or Through the Ages, but this is worth it for the single player campaign alone.
