This app has the potential to better than the (analog) card game, because of the digital tallying of base points. However, the app freezes often — I’d estimate 20% of all my games played involve a freeze, sometimes recoverable with a quick restart, sometimes not. It reminds me of some of the Magic the Gathering apps, which were/are tremendously buggy. In the cases of both Smash Up and Magic, it’s odd that such established franchises would release half-baked products. 3-Star apps that could easily become 5-star, if developers got their acts together and fixed performance issues.Also, this game has just 8 factions, which is a small portion of those available, so I hope that in the future — after they fix their performance issues — they will introduce expansions.
