Dice Wars App Reviews

The math seems a little off but the game is still everything its supposed to be.

Dont bother until a fix is made.

clunky, buggy, it does not really behave the way I think it should

Do not waste your money! The game is broken (connected tiles do not add up correctly, number of dice added is incorrect). You can only play with a maximum of 6 factions. And the music is annoying. The graphics look bad. And the roll interface is unnecessarily slow and intrusive.

There are some problems but this app is still good when it works!!

Algorithms for calculation are *WAY* off. Maps are not varied in shape in the slightest - essentially the same map each time.

Nice app, but it has a bug. Sometimes the number of my areas is wrong. Less then it is. And the second problem is animation. Disabling is very bad. In another sides good job. Please fix this bugs.

This game is similar to the flash game of DiceWars game by Game Design. But the rules have significant differences that hinder game play. I do not like how it reallocates replacement dice. It appears to favor large stacks rather than random distribution. And it appears to sometimes attempt to allocate dice replacement to a full stack causing the extra dice to not be used, rather than placing the dice on stacks that could use them. This makes for a very unbalanced game that becomes more chance than skill. Wrote this review for Version 1.3. Perhaps hopefully problems will be fixed in future versions.

This game is innacurate. Contiguous areas are usually not counted before reinforcements are supplied nullifying the entire point of the game.

Being a big fan of the flash-based Dice Wars game, I thought this would be the perfect app for me. The presentation (sound, graphics, and controls) are top notch, and nicely recreate the flash game. However as mentioned by other reviewers, this game has bugs that have been unaddressed through multiple updates and really ruin the game. The calculation and allocation of reinforcements is frequently incorrect and makes the game frustrating rather than fun. Avoid this game until these bugs are fixed. If these bugs were fixed it would change my personal rating to 4+ stars. A perfect 5 if they could make it easier to find a decent starting map. The seemingly completely random starting placement makes it a little tough to find a good starting map, but Id overlook that minor flaw if the reinforcement bugs were fixed.

They should have just made a copy of the flash game but they thought this piece of crap would be better dont get it.

Mixed bag on thus one. The main problem I find is the system doesnt allocate new dice when theyre earned, it allocates them the turn after. This means if I start from two spaces and conquer 16 others in one turn, I am still only awarded two dice. Its only on the next turn that I get the proper reinforcements, assuming the other players havent negated all my gains. The automated players are NOT AFFECTED by this flaw, giving them a massive advantage. If this problem were fixed, the game would be excellent.

I enjoy this game very much, cant think of any improvments but to more evenly distribute reinforcements. Thanks 

I bought this app because I really enjoy the online version of the game. The app took a huge step back in terms of playability when it met the iPhone, however. Just to list a few things that would make the game WAY more enjoyable: - There needs to be a preference to always skip roll viewing. I dont care what the actual rolls are, and I never will. - Game option buttons need to be larger and clearer. Perhaps create a "Menu" button and put actions in there. No part of this games UI takes advantage of the iPhones elegant features and guidelines. - User shouldnt have to go first every time in single player. This can be a huge strategic disadvantage. - Game instructions only take a small portion of the screen and are so aliased that theyre unreadable. - I dont find any of the sounds to be useful, and rather find them very annoying. Im forced to mute the game every time I play. I really like the concept of Dice Wars, and I think the game could be way more popular on iPhone if the rough edges were sanded down. Otherwise, I fear for your sake that someone else will come along and copy the game with a different name and a better app.

I love the online version but this one has way toooo many flaws! The biggest is that it doesnt count your dice alocation properly, if they fixed this I would give much better rating!

Dice allocation is flawed for the player. Very annoying!

...then I finally read a review, of course it was after I already purchased the game. I was frustrated with the fact that dice reallocation did not appear correct... but just never really paid attention because I was still getting my Dice Wars fix. Now that I know I will only use this app sparingly and would not recommend until this issue is addressed.

I bought this and after playing it, I now feel like someone stole $2 out of my pocket. This is not the flash game everyone knows. It has major FLAWS that make the game not enjoyable.

I love the online version of the game, and I would love this, too, if it worked. The reinforcements system does not function the way the rules explain. This is poor programming, and should be fixed.

This games no good. It shuts down in the middle of my game and wont save my progress. Ive had it for a month and havent finished a single game. It doesnt count your troops correctly. I can have 7 or 8 touching countries and only receive 2 reinforcements! Love the online game, unfortunately this is a terrible rendition of it. I would love to see an update and rate 5 stars.
