Neuroshima Hex 9+

First, I’m aware they are adding the expanded armies one at a time and that those of us who purchased them in the old app will have them restored. That’s fine, I’m patient.

What bothers me is that the app is terrible now in terms of functionality and ease of use. The menus are weird to navigate. In-game it is not at ALL intuitive how to go about seeing what each tile does - the old version had this built-in right in the game board and now we have to dig for it. The buttons are much smaller so it’s hard to see on a phone. My least favorite thing is that in the old app, when it was the AI’s turn, it was almost instant. Now there’s a wait for it to take its turn. This makes no sense and slows down the game flow considerably. Lastly, every time there is an update, it loses my old in-progress games. I also have to make sure my friend and I are updated to the same version or we can’t play together at all.

This used to be a 5-star app that I played all the time - an app that was miraculously better than the original board game itself. But with as finicky as this new app is, I’d rather go back to my old version 2.0 cardboard game.

Yes, I know they are adding content back slowly. It’s still unacceptable that it was removed in the first place. This new version needed a lot more work, paying customers aren’t your F****NG beta testers! Glad I still have the old version on my iPad. I’m never updating.

Fire whoever is “developing” this game.

As much as the latest iteration deserves all the scorn received of late, the core game remains as brilliantly designed as ever. In a push to encourage growth and new players (instead of detouring with bad reviews), I’m rating the actual game here- which I’m sure you fellow loyal fans all agree is and always has been, 5 Stars. For those that haven’t played this game yet, you’re in for a treat if you give this award winning board game turned iPhone strategy game a try.
What we’d love to see as a loyal fanbase is:

- Reimplementation of the factions (I & many of us have already paid for). There are so many great ones I miss so badly!

- No extra button press when it is our turn.

- Bring back fast AI turns (if it doesn’t affect the AI’s ability).

- More varied animations (everything is either a nudge or explosion).

- Why not ad more backgrounds? Wouldn’t it be pretty easy to hire an artist to just have some different background wallpapers?

- These are just off the top of my head. I’m not trying to say I’m representing an all encompassing list of ideas from my fellow players.

Bonus: What about even newer factions we haven’t seen before!?

Bonus 2: This game is worth a little advertising push on the App Store to get it out there. As is, without any effort, it is still in the top 175!
C’mon, let’s go!!
Thank you.
