Comments on Spirit Island for Android

★★★★★ Archer Hovey · Jan 18, 2026
Amazing digital implementation of an amazing game
★★★★★ Daniel Santos Chaney · Oct 29, 2025
An amazing adaptation of the board game with a team who has great care for it! Devs are constantly active in the Discord and fixing any bugs (of which there are few). The free tutorial can act as a great way to quickly teach the physical game and let you work out if you want to pay for the full version. Once you get used to the UI it's so great being able to play games with such ease.
★★★★★ Matt · Jul 20, 2025
All the joy of Spirit Island without having to set up the board yourself! I've seen some complain about the pricing but honestly £3 a month is a lot cheaper than spending £120 on board games, and it's much easier to play it on the tube!
★★☆☆☆ Stephen Finch · Nov 19, 2024
The board game itself is fantastic; I've been wanting the physical version of S.I. for a while now, and I got excited when I saw the app (which is currently free). But when I discovered that they app will enforce a 5-turn limit on your games if you don't purchase, I was turned off completely. S.I. as a game is beyond worth the price they ask, but the practice of offering a 'free version' but with a turn limit (unless you purchase) feels very anti-consumer. Just charge the $15 at download.
★☆☆☆☆ Nathan Neff-Mallon · May 24, 2026
I would love to purchase the full game, but without being able to play it offline, it's basically useless. It's a great adaptation for the first 5 turns, but fully offline play is an absolute must for me.
★☆☆☆☆ Jay Gledhill · Apr 1, 2026
Advertised as offline friendly. But that's not the case. Always online connection required. Even to play the single player game. Also, no cross-platform support with Steam. Meaning. I need to buy this and all its DLCs twice to play on steam and here. A tall order after having spent so much on the physical copy also Amazing game. Shippable port

Description by Handelabra Games Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different Spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your Spirits work with the native Dahan to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.

Spirit Island includes:
• Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game
• Create custom games with up to 4 available spirits and play 5 full turns
• 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits
• 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders
• A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts
• Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge
• 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
• 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island
• 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders

Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer!

Features:
• Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses.
• 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island.
• 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop.
• 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.

When you are ready for more, choose the best option for your budget to unlock the full game, including cross-platform online multiplayer with friends and others from around the world.

If you're not careful, there are certain places on the Island you can inadvertently find your way into. In these places, the branches and leaves entangle you, strange growls and hisses encircle you, and a cold mist seeps around you, bringing a chill down your spine. When you are Smothered and Surrounded, you won't find your way out.. The 5th phase of Nature Incarnate content is now available with a new Spirit and 3 Aspects for existing Spirits.

This update has several fixes and improvements.
