Master of Wills 12+

Simple and Elegant and also Deeply Strategic

I cannot express my appreciation for this game. As an owner of the board game I was very excited for the release of a digital version. The game is simple in execution and play, but underneath lies a fully developed game of wits and strategy. Each player uses a constructed deck and then takes turns in the tug of war to earn the support of the community. After eight rounds, the player who has managed to influence the most power to their side wins the day. The digital version adds more cards, more battle stages, and great animations to an already amazing physical game.

The art is incredible and truly brings one into the amazing cyberpunk world created. Each faction emphasizes the competing interests in the world and shows how each faction takes a different approach in the turf war for control of the city. The story that unfolds in each game is deep and intriguing to imagine.

Get this game. Play it. Find out if you can become the Master of Wills.

MoW is going to destroy our devices.

This game has great artwork, and a somewhat interesting concept, but there are a lot of problems with the game. The biggest problem is that, on our iPad Pros (far in excess of the game’s device minimum requirements), the game overheats them extremely rapidly. There is no reason for this; the game shouldn’t be this demanding. My iPad Pro (2017 edition) 10.9 became extremely hot, and the screen dimmed (to reduce overheating) after only ten minutes of play. I have over 250 apps on my device (still over 100gb free) and not a single one makes my iPad this hot after just ten minutes. My husband’s iPad Pro 12.9 dimmed after a few minutes and even rebooted within fifteen minutes of play. I don’t know if they are mining bitcoins in the background of this app, but otherwise there is just no reason for this. Other problems are a severe lack of explanation for almost everything (the tutorial teaches you little). And what’s up with the boosters? You open 5 cards but only get to keep 3? Why do some shine? (The ones shining have ranged from lowest to highest rarity, so shine has nothing to do with rarity).

Developer Response ,

There is now a low power mode, eco-mode. But also we've made huge performance on optimization and improvements throughout. Hopefully you are willing to give it another go and come back and report your findings! Thanks! We listened and improved it.

Amazing game and Amazing community

Master of Wills is an amazing game that has both a physical and digital version to play. The developers are wonderful and highly engaged in the community. The game is still being developed and they are very open about what is being worked on and what bugs are being squashed. The lore and world that has been built is something worth diving into. Finally, the team has built a growing community of players who are happy to give advise or hop into a game when you may want to play.

The gameplay it set is unlike any other game I’ve played. It acts like a tug of war with the final goal to our score your opponent. It can be played for free and every card is available through the credits you get just by playing matches. The deck building gets you into a whole other aspect trying to find the best combos.

All in all love this game and the people I have met playing it
