Great game!! Also bought the Climate print and play, very enjoyable. Just wish the campaign would have a climate mode to.
★★★★☆Tomas Storck· Mar 31, 2024
Great board game. The app implements the mechanics really well, but is extremely heavy to run for my two-year-old flagship phone. Phone gets warm, and the battery drains at about 10 percent every 20 minutes.

Game is rigged. If the player creates a carnivore, the AI always gets horns and climbing. If the AI creates a carnivore, they only ever attack the player. It is no fun knowing that you both have no defense from being attacked AND you cannot attack. Code needs to be overhauled so that cards are truly dealt randomly; only the AI gets winning combinations while I struggle to get anything useful.

I have bought the complete edition of both Evolution and Nature, as well as playing the board game. I have enjoyed both very much. But despite having purchased every expansion for both games, the game cannot be played offline. This is absurd and unacceptable. This game would be great to play with my friends when we're without internet, but the developers have chosen to make this impossible. If I could get a refund I would. Do not buy any expansions for this game.

Seems like a good adaptation of the board game, but I have to give it a low score because I cannot get past entering my name after the brief tutorial.
★☆☆☆☆William Funk· Oct 24, 2024
Doesn't recognize in game purchase of DLC that I have owned for years. I'm looking forward to the extra space on my phone. The game is great, but I won't be buying the board game version, because I've already been scammed out of the money for the DLC, and now frankly my time. I was trying to show this to a family member who is very interested in zoology, I don't see them regularly, I recommend this game, and find all of my prior purchases deactivated. Needless to say, this is disappointing.
