Great app that is necessary for the board game. The sound and audio are excellent and enhance the gameplay. My only wish would be that there was a log in feature that would make it easy to sync between devices (phone, tablet, etc.).

Excellent game, but I bought the dlc campaign today and am unable to use it. Played through and completed first scenario, then I see a black screen and there is no way to progress. Very disappointing to encounter a game breaking bug that makes purchase unplayable.

This app was unavailable to use on Android for over 2 weeks. This is unacceptable considering you need the app to play the game. I understand issues arise, but if something like an app is necessary to play a game you paid for, then fantasy flight games needs to allocate more resources to ensure this never happens again. On top of that there was ZERO communication from the publisher on social media. The only thing we got was a reply on a single forum about the issue. Do better, FFG.

Great with friends and lots of fun. However very annoyign when NPCs send you on quests that lead you to think you will get good loot or big progression, but turn out to be just lore points (which dont do anything?). Also many levels have vague objectives or you just complete it in time, just to discover you have to run the whole way back.

Currently 2* due to having to buy all the games again for this app to be on another device. Hopefully, this is just an error and I will have some/all game play back and multiple packs that I have already paid for, after notifying customer service. By far one of my favourite games, seems a shame if this is the case that you must buy every pack again with a new device.

The board game is fun, but it is far too dependent on the app and if the app dies then $90+ game is useless. The problem tgst the app has and also having to pay for DLC after spending $90+ for the games and expansions is a really big turn off. The app should be an extra to enhance the game but not a mandatory to playing the game. Fantasy Flight needs to rethink their board games.

I see no dev responses to bug reports in the reviews, so I doubt they read these, but they should. The game, itself, is really fun with a few house rules. Game balance for 4-5 players is insanely difficult, 2-3 is great. An "Undo" button is a critically missing feature. You really don't get your money's worth out of an $80 campaign with so few variety of monsters & heroes (but they're limited to Tolkien cannon), and replayability is meh with only one campaign. Need more voiceovers for immersion!

I was really enjoying the app until yesterday where I downloaded the latest update. When I tried to continue my saved game (almost complete 1st campaign) it was asking for the latest expansion (Dwellers in Darkness) to proceed. Not having it yet, I thought to unistall the app and reinstall it in hopes of avoiding this error. In my total disappointment I totally lost the saved game. I only got a previous saved game from a test run. I searched all my configurations and everything was correct.

Great app, love it! However, found a few bugs on Galaxy S8: (1) it is difficult to tap the tokens even while being zoomed. I have to tap several times until the token action triggers. Ends up working but is a bit annoying. (2) on game reload, the threat bar had the event bubble display "XY" in it, except the bar was already past it.

I contacted FantasyFlight about the fact that there is no way to see where all the enemy are located on the board after confirming their initial placements. That's include resuming from an ongoing scenario. They confirmed me that the way the app is made, there is no easy way to add this feature. For any of you who want to stop playing an ongoing scenario and want to resume it an other day, you can take pictures of your play area. I love FantasyFlight and their games. 5 stars!

Loved the game, the minis are awesome. FFG should put more effort into the storage inside the box. Ziplock bags are really lame for the pricetag. Anyways, let's talk about the app. It's really nice, it has ambient sounds and music, the art on ut is gorgeous and the game itself it's fun. I get that there is no undo button to avoid cheating, but still anyone can cheat anytime so it would make bo difference. We need a SCENARIO CREATOR NOW.

App works fine, game is too hard for small groups. The gameplay flow works well, and has some nice design, it just needs balance. I'm not always going to have 5 players, but it seems like the game difficulty is rated for that. Successes seem to account for 1/3 of the cards in a deck, but usually one success is not enough to complete most skill tests, and often you don't draw any successes.

This app needs a lot of work. You can't go back or undo something if you accidentally press the wrong button. The story is lacking a bit especially the end of chapters and end game. In fact if you go the long way, end chapter is very easy and uneventful. The camera likes to move randomly away when a new map piece is being placed....In most cases away from the board and new map piece. It would be great if they showed the map numbers needed for each chapter before it starts just not any order.

The Board Game is Awesome!! But the App could definitely use some work... Specifically with the Ememy placement, I accidentally double clicked and completely missed where they were supposed to be placed... The app tracks health/status to a T but doesn't have any sort of location tracking?? That seems like a huge Flaw... not even a note in the game log, why even have a log if you dont notate everything? It literally just says enemy spawned... Anyways, the App works flawlessly other than that...

Desperately needs an undo or back button. My group played and on our second game were encountering the boss. One player accidentally moved us to the shadow phase before two players got to take a turn, but since there was no way to go back the game progressed and we lost because one of the other players that had already gone had died. However if you complete the goal before the shadow phase you can still win, so the lack of a back button ruined the game for us.

The game is fun. However the save feature is almost useless in the middle of a game, as there is no way to view where enemies and characters were or note character status for later. Even just a "notes" section would be great. a BIG issue with the app:there is no go back or cancel if you hit the wrong button. You NEED to be able to undo a button push. You also cannot review an initial placement of some elements. If you miss it, you can never check. Still fun, but the app needs some improvement.

I had an glitch on my device with one aspect of one of the newer missions. I filled out a form on the fantasy flight website. Within 24 hours, not only did the developers respond but had programmed a new patch for the software! The game itself is fantastic; it's basically LoTR in a box. It provides great tactical adventures without being too fiddly (slowing down the game), and the components look fantastic. Before giving a bad review I would encourage anyone to contact FFG first.
