Neuroshima Hex

★★★★★ This version of the game is head and shoulders above the previous iteration in both game play and graphics. Well done!

★★★★★ Can I have the option to keep the old app? I originally reviewed this game back in 2014 with 5 stars (I'll leave that as-is out of some sense of loyalty). I loved it. I even brought my first Android phone specifically to play because I have the physical board game. I'm editing this now in 2021 and the new version of the app is absolutely appalling. At first, I thought I just needed some time to acclimatize to the new version but after using it for a few weeks I can safely say that I hate it. I understand the armies that I've paid for will become available later, and I can live with that. But the performance of the game is abysmal (it lags and other apps crash when this one runs) and the AI seems to be much, much dumber.

★★★★★ I believe there was some criticism for the new app to have 2 expansions only, bot now there are 4+4 factions, and the app still fixes so much for me and makes the game more enjoyable. I wish the background was less nerdy though. I sold the IRL game because I had almost no one to play with, the app is great to have for this reason as well. The tutorial was ascetic, but clean and well done.

★★☆☆☆ Forced update sucks. Where's all the expansion content? Customers paid real money for that DLC. Why can't you enable 3rd or 4th player (It's there, button just doesn't work)? Ruined a great game for no apparent reason Edit Sept 2022: Some of the armies are back, and most bugs fixed, but still only 1v1. Pushing new DLC when previously purchased DLC has not been reinstated. Not a good look. Neo Jungle? Dancer? Sharrash? Had them all before the update.

★★☆☆☆ I don't like the new version, it's hard to see which units I'm using and there's too much interface space taken by the artwork. And I've lost access to all the armies I purchased - no idea when they will be restored. The only positive thing is online play.
