The AI isn't too bad and often provides a good challenge, which is impressive given the number of different races and special powers they can be combined with. The online and local multiplayer options are truly superb. The game isn't without some bugs however, the android version often crashes but works ok when rebooted and the final scores occasionally disappear only to reappear a few days later. This can be quite frustrating when all you want to do is see who won. The DLCs only work on the platform they've been purchased on, so a steam DLC won't work on android or IOS - you can however, continue or join a game started using the DLCs on a platform where you don't own them. The game is great fun, particularly if you like the boardgame but I've introduced it to friends who've never heard of the boardgame and they've loved it too.. Pros: a straight-forward porting from the boardgame. UI is just like the original - someones may like it and someones may dislike it, and I'm the former. A little inconvenient, but it makes me to feel like playing the boardgame.And...I DON'T need to find a real friends to play the game!!Cons: The friends the game provides are not the best to play with.Above all things, I can't select their level. I want them to keep step with me, but they don't.After several games, it may becomes boring a bit.Anyway, thanks to Day of Wonders for their great boardgames, and the PORTINGS!(More portings please. I will NEVER sell off my hardcopies :). so sad that they havent supported this with more updates, small world is a great board game, and its a pretty good implementation that they have here. I was quite pleased with this game at first. I even bought the game for a friend so we could play together after trying it out. However, having played it further it is too crash prone to recommend at present. If they would fix some of the bugs I'd be more happy to give it my endorsement.. Being a huge fan of the board game, I was a little disappointed by this electronic version. No solo campaign-type mode; only thing you can do solo is play a basic game against a few bots (can't even adjust difficulty) Hardly anyone even plays the multiplayer mode. There's no real variables you can adjust when creating a game except for the number of players. There is only one board to play on. There's none of the races, abilities, or places\/relics from the Smallworld Underground board game. The DLC packs are pretty skimpy as well. I just felt like there was not enough content in this game for the ~$15 that it costed with DLC; I've played free and $1-2 games with way more content. However, I do still enjoy the basic game and isn't a bad way to spend 10-15 mins now and then. Overall, I would suggest saving your money until the developers add some meat to this game.. When Small World 2 functions properly, it's a fun and faster incarnation of its tabletop predecessor. The game is arguably easier to play than its tabletop incarnation because it prevents players from making invalid moves and sometimes indicates possible moves. It also makes it easier for players to keep track of numbers like turns and quantities of troops. The game also captures the aesthetic of Small World very well, and actions are played out rather pleasantly. However, the game crashes or bugs-out frequently. The game is locked at one specific resolution, which cannot be changed (except by maximizing the window, which may sometimes result in letterboxing). There are no settings options whatsoever, aside from game volume and music volume. And finding a game online is horrendous because creating and joining games is tedious, and that's if there's even anyone online to play with (which there more often than not, is not). Many of the UI elements can be confusing, especially since the tooltips (when functional) aren't always informative. Parts of the UI, particularly text, will even change the game's cursor to the system or text cursor, making the entire game feel cheap and poorly made. One would expect many of these issues to be solved, or at least addressed, shortly after the game's release, but since at the time I'm typing this the game has been released for over a year, I believe that it's safe to say that these issues will not be addressed any time soon, if at all. The entire game feels like a half\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665money grab, and despite the genuine entertainment it may provide, albeit in small amounts, I cannot recommend this game while these issues continue to exist.. This is great!The same gameplay as the boardgrame, but you save a buttload of time from not having to fiddle with the five million tokens all the time. Also no arguing about the rules; Even more time saved! Playtime has gone from 2 hours to 20 minutes with this digital version. Online multiplayer is a bit dicky to set up, though, so you'll need 20 minutes of preparation before you can play the first time. (You need to make a days-of-wonder-account.). The core small worlds game is fun and a lot of people want to see a computerized version of it to play online with friends. However it's quite expensive for what you get, only took half a year to make and the DLC option is an insult to any other passionate developer that works his\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665off to go that extra mile who truely deserves it. Back in my day DLC was called an expansion pack and it was worth every penny. Here we have a set of simple and over priced DLC packs on day 1, something alreay made & a number of fans could poop out in an afternoon if they spent that time to support mods. OK, It's understandable that a company seeks to maximize profits but this developer goes a little too far with asking consumers to purchase an aditional andriod version even after they have brought the PC one. Not sure if that also requires purchasing the DLC twice but its deserves critisim because the combined price tage is approaching a tripple A title.As for the quality of the game itself, there are a few bugs with it. The race descriptions don't always render properly, it appears to use flash\/html pages for that and suffer from a font issue on my machine. I also caused the game to freeze when attempting to read the rules as the bots were taking their turn. There are limited graphical options for resolution & sound. All said and done, its entertaining for an hour or so but for that price I think you can find something else that will keep you going for far longer.*update* Some parts of the game looks nice, but the quality of developement feels rushed in how it responds, the screen doesn't scale well in places. http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=203025847The application must also be active at all times to play multiplayer otherwise you get a re authorization message followed by the turn replaying itself from start which means no browsing on your 2nd monitor to pass the time and even reading the in game rules causes this issue to occur. I like the game but the quality could be better.
