Ratings and reviews

The app is great, yet a little clunky. Not entirely intuitive. My main disappointment is that it doesn't provide an option to change out characters from your group once you start. This wouldn't have been a problem with the original edition of the game but now that new characters are being introduced this needs to be an option.

The app is pretty cumbersome to use but the narration is awesome! I would like to see a 'DM Companion" mode where you pick a quest it gives "narration points" to click on, and then audibly narrates the event selected. The "DM companion" mode could also keep the atmosphere sounds. Maybe it would also have mosnter trackers for damage. But no need digital player/monster board tracking as the physical board will still be heavily used by both hero players and dm player. I would give THAT a 5 star.

This is excellent. Worked without a hitch on the two devices that I tried, newer Sony phone and older Asus tablet. There is a slight learning curve but turns run smoothly once you get the hang of it. I'm also happy to say that I actually enjoyed the voice acting and bit of background music. For the future I'd really like an option to save a quest in progress and I'll be looking forward to the addition of the expansion packs. For now though it's really enjoyable playing through the main quest.
