User Reviews for Terra Mystica

Playing with friend

So, no doubt, the game is hard! However, when the majority of your games with friends get hung because AI players are unresponsive, it just makes it worse. I also have to quit the game and come back when it says I have moves, but when I choose the move, it says none are valid, and the undo button doesn’t work. I am enticed by the game, but there’s work to be done on this app.

Love this game, but this app isn’t worth the money

I love this game, the UI is beautiful and true to the game.HOWVER, the interface makes it nearly impossible to play with others. App doesn’t connect regularly with server and freezes claiming you need to login. It’s an app problem not a login problem. I’m in game center.Worse yet, the app bugs out sometimes even when playing solo and you can no longer read the text unless you restart... which takes way too long to load. The app looks great, but the app isn’t worth the money for the bugs. Play online for free instead.The developer responded saying things like my phone is probably too old and needs to be restarted once a week at least. For the record I have a new iPhone8. The fact of the matter is if the game is such a memory hog, maybe it’s the app and not the user. I don’t have the same amount of lag or difficulties with any other GameCenter games.

Nice adaptation that sometimes doesn’t work

This app looks great and simplifies the action in a game that some find fairly complex. I really enjoy it!I’m currently in a game with one human player and two AI opponents and we’ve been waiting for the AI to take its turn for roughly 20 hours. I have to assume the issue is server based, but there isn’t any indication in the app that anything is wrong anywhere.Update: Now that AI has completely exhausted his time and there does not appear to be any mechanism for removing him from the game.

Incredibly well done!

The reviews are low because people are upset the asynchronous play isn't amazing but as an app that offers great local play with ai and guests, or unranked online games with friends it's fantastic. In addition the app has beautiful aesthetics, music, and sounds to go along with it. Highly recommend for any new/old Terra fans!

No Way to Change Game Clock or Undo Timeouts

EDIT: this review has been bumped up because the developers have pointed out that when a player "times out," they can still rejoin the game until another player boots them. However, I've been the player to boot someone for timing out, and the dialog for doing so indicates that I am just acknowledging that another player timed out. This UX should require a confirmation of "are you sure you want to replace USER with an AI?"I still stand by my review that we should be able to select the timeout clock duration when creating a game, but the app is not useless, given what I've learned. Just unsatisfactory.------Original review:This app is useless for asynchronous play. I've yet to have a game where nobody times out and gets replaced by the AI. Gonna stick will the browser implementation by Snellman until the devs give users an option to undo an opponent's timeout or disable or extend the game clock when creating a game.

Edited: Notifications suddenly stopped

I've played dozens of games with friends and then one day all notifications stopped. Devs won't respond to in-game bug reporting. I can't find a fix for this. The game is basically unplayable without notifications. Hopefully the devs see this and respond. I'd love to keep playing, but need notifications back. So frustrating spending money on a game and the most basic functionality fails.Edit: Notifications suddenly working again, still no response from devs

Great when it works

The game is great. It is a good port of a pretty involved board game and it plays well even on my phone. The game ties itself to Game Center, which I honestly thought would be a pretty good thing but that seems to cause issues with the game sometimes. After a recent reinstall I haven’t run into any issues but I will try the steps outlined by the developer if something does happen again. The game is a solid port and a lot of fun. I highly encourage people to give it a try.

Good with occasional errors

Minus one star because of two things; errors and ease of use. The errors, I get sometimes after completing my turn. You have to start the app over again for it to work. Then you have to take the action again. It’s always worked after two tries. The second thing is that there are a lot of menus to check through. If I start to take an action I don’t have certain information available to me quickly. For example if I want to build or upgrade and I forgot how many workers I had I would have to close the screen, check my workers and potentially my income for future actions, etc. I wish it was all right there. On the positive side, the game looks and feels just like it’s analog counterpart. Great job with the look and feel. Works pretty well on my iPhone 7 and doesn’t require a massive screen to play.

It’s okay, but it has plenty of problems

I love Terra Mystica, but this app does has its problems. The AIs take like five minutes to move sometimes. It’s frustrating because it shouldn’t take that long. Also, I keep having to restart the game because it keeps bugging out. I really do love this game but it needs to work out its bugs so the game runs smoother. I would do a five stars for the game itself but three stars because of the app. Please fix it developers :(

A Good Start

While not perfect, the game does run as it is supposed to. There are glitches yet they are mostly visual and do not impact gameplay mechanics. And as mentioned in other reviews, the tutorial isn’t quite as helpful as it could be. It helped to give a basic understanding of the game’s mechanics but I still had to read the online pdf version of the rules to feel like I understood what all the symbols meant in the various panels.I haven’t tried the online multiplayer and can’t speak for that.Overall, it is a good adaptation that has room for improvement. For the price it is a decent way to “test” the game and see if you might like it or Gaia Project (the arguably better follow up to Terra Mystica with similar mechanics) as an addition to your physical collection.
