User Reviews for HeroQuest - Companion App

Ver 1.61 seems broken?

Update: the bug that was freezing the app has been fixed and everything is working butter smooth. This arguably the best companion app out there. The art, UI, and functionality are fantastic. The voice over work is stellar for both Mentor and Zargon and adds a ton of AAA quality fun and atmosphere to an already stellar board game. I really appreciate the updates with the expansions! I hope Avalon Hill continues to add in the characters and expansions pack levels. These timely additions and attention make the in entire Heroquest ip feel as loved by the developers as it is to the ravenous fan base. Frankly, I still cannot believe this is a free companion app based on the quality of build.

Decent start to this app, but needs updates

The app as I mentioned is off to a decent start, but it could use some updates for the following.1.) when using on an iPad in particular, it could benefit from being in landscape mode. In portrait mode its not ideal for iPad to be in, and also if you cast to tv like I do, it would be nice if it filled the entire screen.2.) Actions - You can continuously take actions which to new people playing may confuse them into thinking they can take more actions because the app lets you.3.) movement - It appears you can keep moving around as much as you like. It should limit to what dice can give you and only be more if a spell has been used to allow extra movement.4.) New Knight - the commander of the guardian knights need to be added in. Some have already gotten their characters so this app will need to keep up with the releases as best it can. I’m rather excited to try the knight!The rest overall is fine and again if you come from playing Heroquest and rules you can overlook the issues above and actually help keep things honest with your party.This app again is off to a great start, and I am sure future updates will help polish and enhance gameplay. Looking forward to the next app update!

Needs a lot of work. But fun

So this definitely is helpful but has a lot of issues that could be fixed to make it better. Only one hero during the hero’s turn could attack every hero’s turn and it was always the first hero added to the party. That was able to be worked around by killing off monsters as they reached zero health but was still an issue. Occasionally actions would be locked as if monsters were near without any being within line of sight. The music and audio ambiance is actually quite an amazing touch. I feel the app could be drastically improved but is still quite useful in the game.

Fairly good, definitely not great

It does make the game fully cooperative, but it basically forces one person to be in charge of the app to manage the game or else clumsily have to hand the iOS device around the table. This app needs local network connectivity to be 5 stars - this would allow every player to run the app on their own device and input their movement themselves which would propagate to all the other network-connected apps on other devices.Both the zoom and scroll functionalities are annoying to use when on a phone and not a tablet.

Amazing so far…

My kids are finally at an age where I thought they could try Hero Quest. I have the original from my childhood with all original pieces. This app works great with my original because I assume the new version of the game is almost exactly the same.The only thing I noticed is, there is (so far) one monster I didn’t have in my original that is in the new one. Also, there’s more characters which wouldn’t be so bad if I had mini figures to match. I think it would be amazing if the app developers could make another selection possible when choosing which game you’re playing. I’d love to be able to select that I have the original game set with all original cards and figures. I bet this is a rights issue, but one can dream…

Movement is janky - Fixed

Edit 6/1/22 Just tested the new build and movement is much smoother in the phone. The map stays put until I reach an edge and then starts to move. Much more playable now. The app is ok, but movement is very janky. As soon as I touch a character token, the screen starts moving up or down. Moving the token from left to right is a pain as the screen moving up or down pulls the token with it, dragging my movement path all over the screen. Is there a way to lock the screen in place when moving a character token that I’m missing? Using it on iPhone SE (2016 model) running iOS 14.8.1

App works well, small wishlist

On the whole, the companion app does what it needs to, allows you to play solo or co-op mode without a GM/Zargon player, so it goes well with the game as is. There’s a few things I would wish for:• Allow saving your game. I have a dedicated gaming space, but frequently get called away and pick up/drop games for days at a time until I get free time again. If you run a game on this, you have to finish in one sitting or else that game is essentially “lost” by the app and you need to start over. Being able to save out would be fantastic.• Add campaigns for Spirit Queen’s Torment, Prophecy of Telor, and Crypt of Perpetual Darkness. These were part of the crowdfunding campaign, so maybe they’re exclusives or planned for later on, but it’d be nice to have app support for those.• Quest designer: this is probably a big ask, but would be fantastic to be able to make & play custom content. You’d basically be getting the community to generate content for you, vastly increasing fan interaction and people would likely start porting over 20+ years worth of homebrew content.

Fun play

I enjoy this app as I’m the only one in my house who plays HeroQuest. I don’t have to try to schedule a game night and sync 5 different calendars of friends. I can pull out the app and play a game. The one thing I would really like to see is the app being able to go in landscape. It would make it easier for the iPad to sit on the table and be visible and also mirror on the TV if I do have friends over so we can all see what it going on.It can now be used in landscape mode which is awesome. Now if I could use the app on my MacBook that would be ideal.

Needs Work

The end turn button is just there to make you feel better. It doesn’t really add much functionality or make you feel like it’s does anything. Both apps are designed for phones. The google version is unusable on a chrome book even when it doesn’t crash out, because it scrolls instead of moves your tokens. There is no Windows app. I’d prefer to play on something large like a laptop or Surface. Using anything but a Phablet makes you fat thumb what you intended to do. The attack action needs more functionality than a tutorial of how to roll dice. On that, the app could really use a dice roller and the ability to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi link to other phones. It would be nice to track your character sheets and inventory, etc via the app. The existing tiny character sheets get chewed up by an eraser. The app would be better if it could link up like You Don’t Know Jack and then have the DM play from a laptop while the heroes join on their individual phones, iPads, tablets, surface, etc. The app is salvageable, but pretty garbage at launch. I’ll modify my review as they improve.

Great to finally be able to play by myself!

I feel like I’m the only person in my friend group who wants to play HeroQuest, so I’m excited to be able to finally be able to play on my own. I love that there are options for the two main expansions that came with the Mythic Tier (and clearly will be available for public purchase later), but I’d love to see the Mythic Tier exclusive quests in the app as well.Edit: I find myself frustrated that not only are the quests from the mythic tier included anywhere in the app, but neither is the Knight character. I would love to be able to use the app with both of these.
