D&D Lords of Waterdeep App Reviews

Unbalanced at times

While I like the game in many ways, especially fully expanded, the Lord card unbalances the 2 player format completely. I wish there was the option to remove it from 1 vs 1.

Wish I would have spent my money on a cheese burger instead

If you don’t know what this is then don’t buy it. It looks like a lot of people love it, I do not…. not one bit. I purchased it thinking it was a D&D game, it really isn’t. I guess I should have read more about it, buyer beware. I deleted it shortly after installing it.

Great board game, nicely translated to iPad

Well done board game with a lot of flavor in the characters and cards. It is an iPad version of a tabletop game, digitalized very well - retaining board game feel but with the ease of use and nice fit & finish of a high quality tablet game. I also recommend both expansions, each adds cool elements to the base game.

A Most Epic Quest

As a true Lord and Dungeonmaster, I was most pleased to see that the realm of Waterdeep had unfurled itself before my very (chubby) fingers. Twas a cold winter morn, while I was breathing heavily over my four lb burrito, mustache atremble and fedora atilt, sweating profusely onto my iPhone 6 plus in anticipation of the dungeons and fair maidens that awaited in this virtual hell scape. So I drew my authentic dagger (which is more of a broadsword, but hobbit sized, forged from blue steel and blessed by a beautiful elven witch, who I would later wed), and, sweatily trembling, plunged it into my iPhone 6 plus. I am sure if I were to actually have played, it would have been a 10/10.

Fun and challenging

I enjoy playing this game a lot. If you find playing against the hard AI setting becomes not as challenging go to multiplayer and play against others to be a lord of waterdeep. I highly recommend paying for the additional content since it adds more depth to the game.

Crashes repeatedly on iPhone6+

going through tutorial and in normal game play, the game crashes on round 7 or 8 every time. cant get beyond that point. its fun game to be sure but the consistent crashing is bad. would give 5 stars but the crashing happens EVERY TIME... not sporadically... not ever so often or ever other game... its every single time.

One of the best for iPad

This is a great game, and the electronic version is done so well. The interface is easy to use, the graphics are high end and the ai is a decent opponent. Love this app.

Great board game

Awesome on 5, crashes all the time and has low resolution on 6 plus.

Great game, but unbalanced by one specific card

This is a great and addictive game. However, one of the Lord cards (the woman who gets +6 for every building) is very overpowered. The person who draws that Lord wins a disproportionate number of games, because just throwing up building after building is really very easy. I would like an toggle switch to disable that Lord. Otherwise, this is great!

Love this game

Its easier to play on iPad due to the bigger screen but this game is super fun, strategically deep, and infinitely replayable. Definitely worth the cost!

Great game

Great adaptation of the board game to iOS! Runs smoothly! An option to have no time in online multiplayer matches would be appreciated in a future update. However, that does not diminish the quality of this product.

Fun board game

I really enjoy this little app. Its nothing extraordinary. Just a fun board game. I bought the extras which I think is kind of a cheesy thing to do but it gives different play options. I am trying to find some fun games that you can play with others without having to pay a lot for in game purchases. You know the apps I am talking about. I paid once for it. I can play it all I want. No extra costs. The way the gaming industry should be. Thank you!

Great adaptation, needs work in multiplayer

First of all, this is an incredibly faithful, well-detailed transfer from the board to the screen. Do you like Lords of Waterdeep in board game form? Then youll love Lords of Waterdeep the app. All is well until it comes to the one area this app really needs to shine: online multiplayer. It can be very buggy; directly responding to a notification can lead you to miss an opponents move while you stare at the "Connecting to Server" screen. Even more crucially, there is no online chat in the game. This is absurd. Especially for a game that emphasizes a time limit more than any other board game Ive encountered in the App Store so far. It would be nice if a future update addressed those matters, but every other aspect of the game is so well done its almost forgivable. Any fan of Lords of Waterdeep or other board games in the App Store should give this one some attention. (Played on iPhone 6 and iPad Air. Cant speak for problems on 6+.)

Lack of support condemns an other excellent game

The complete lack of ongoing support for this game means that it is getting more and more difficult to enjoy what was once my favorite iPad game. Besides long-standing graphics issues that were never addressed, it has become so crash-prone as of late that now I can almost never get all the way through a single game without crashing back to the iPad home screen at least once. If only the makers would have put even a little bit of ongoing effort, they would have been able to claim the title of a true iOS classic. As it is, they are just another company whom I know better than to buy any more software from in the future.

Great game, timer system is good but could be improved

Id never heard of this game before playing it. It is awesome, the tutorial is easy to get through and the game is simple to understand but really complex which makes online games awesome. The only annoying thing about playing online, you have a timer (which is a good system) but Ive forfeited so many games in the final round because the timer expired. Its a little timer and when Im trying to win a game Im not paying attention to the time. I wish there were either a way of mutually extending the game, or at least an alert.

Needs updates

I really enjoyed this game a lot and easily would have given it 5 stars, if only theyd fix some of its problems. The biggest problem (and the reason I eventually deleted it off my iPad) is that you spend days playing a game, then someone wins, but it wont show you who,won, the game just disappears without any way to determine who just won. Fix it and Id love to play it again someday!

Great game!

Game is fun to play, and the interface is amazing!

Wheres chat!

Awesome game I just wish we chat I need my trash talk on!!

Its good of course but...

Its always a treat to see an AI player thats ridiculously unfair.
