Game often freezes when a turn card is highlighted. Work around is to exit and restart. Gameplay otherwise well balanced.
Getting more game play from the app than the board I have. Everything runs proper and makes playing the game more accessible and quick to play
Paid for a game that won't open crashes tried redownloading same thing.
Game won't launch and instead repeatedly crashes on Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Unfortunately had to refund, shame because the program works well on the PC and its a great game
About as good as it gets, top game.
Great game of all time.
Keeps crashing. Edit: contacted as pr instruction, no reply.
One of the best board games ever made. This app has given me hours of fun. Only downside is the AI is very weak and you will need to play online for a real challenge. The AI is useful for learning how to play such a complex game nonetheless.
I like the game, but the reason I bought it is to play with friends. I've been unable to create an account for almost a week. Sent two emails that auto-generated tickets. No one from the twilight struggle team has contacted me to even say it's been looked at. Profoundly disappointing.
Game doesn't work whatsoever. Crashes on logo every single time. Galaxy Note 20 Ultra on latest OS. Not a bad game judging based on what I've played on Steam, so it's still worth a try. If it doesn't work, refund.
