Root Board Game App Reviews

You should buy this

When a character loses, there are different poses they assume based on how many points they lost by. If you lose by a lot your character lies flat on the ground. If you lose by a little, most of the characters stand with their heads down and their hand on their opposite elbow. Except the vagabond. When the vagabond loses by a mere one point he sits on the ground with stars circling his head. It just makes it seem like he’s lost by way more than he has. I always play the vagabond and this annoys

I have root the board game but I don’t have many friends that play as well. This game solves that because of the online element. Plus the challenges are really fun. I would recommend this if you like root but can’t play it often

This makes it so easy to play root. Especially when I’m trying to learn a faction, I don’t have to devote hours to a game I can just play when I can.

I’ve played a few rounds now, and I have enjoyed it throughly. I’ve tried all 4 base game factions, and they all seem to be well balanced and all equally fun to play as. The online cross platform works well, I joined and hosted others on the switch and on PC no problems. My only wish is that creating private games had a more intuitive way to join or invite friends. I can add online friends with their username, but the game doesn’t seem to have the ability to automatically join each other’s gam

A cute and varied game with a lot going on, brought to life by excellent app design.

While Root’s expansions are top notch and fun to play, the original 4 factions are my favorites. Still have loads of fun with my gaming group because we know them so well. So whether you just buy the base game or go all out with all the expansions, you’re sure to have a lot f fun.

What the title says. Great work on this!

Great digital version of a fantastic game. I play yhis to practice for the tabletop game

Amazing Game, Amazing Digital Version, doesn’t work on Mac. Can’t zoom in and out and can’t deal with pop up screens.

Expansions are way too expensive. It’s a total of 43 dollars for all. It’s a 3A game prize, which is insane.

Have been playing constantly for a month and I’m enjoying it more and more

This game is incredibly fun and captivating. However, I hope the developers can enhance the Chinese language support, as it’s currently incomplete. A fully supported Chinese version would greatly improve the gaming experience and attract more Chinese-speaking players. Looking forward to future updates!

I never played the board game, but this is one fantastic digital version. Graphics are perfect for the tone, and the gameplay is stellar. Can’t recommend enough!

I have heard a lot of good things about ROT and have been wanting to play this game for a while. The tutorials presented by this app are great. And having the AIs to practice with is very helpful. Highly recommended!

please please please add the marauder expansion!

I love this game and the digital adaptation, but the Eyrie AI is game-breakingly bad. It goes into turmoil more turns than not, and regularly ends the game with zero points.

My primary reason for buying this on iOS was to learn the rules for each faction so I could play the physical version with my friends. The app helped me a ton! And afterwards, I found myself playing 5, then 10, then 15 games on my iPad, long after I learned the rules. There’s just so much strategy for each faction (well balanced too!). Kudos to the developers for this excellent game.

The life and personality of Kyle Ferrin’s art of the Woodland’s anthropomorphic inhabitants is continued in the visuals and audio of this electronic adaptation, and mercifully for me, the computer remembers the rules for me, gives me tutorials and challenges, and offers a rulebook to check mid-game. There are times when an action on my turn causes the time of day to roll forward, and I cannot undo my last action, even when nothing was randomized. It would be handy to be able to do so. Aside fr

The digital version is highly recommended if you play the board game. The tutorials are great although some extra research will likely be needed to fully understand some of the rules. I’m totally hooked on this game. Also the animations are fun. Great work!

Add a “fast forward through opponents’ turns” option. Having to rewatch three opponents for each turn is a pain. Other than that small adjustment…amazing!

Why can’t I check the board after the game is over? Often times there’s a win and I’m confused about how the opponent one. It happens so fast. Also, I feel like the tutorial missed some important points. I had to watch a YouTube video on how to play after the tutorial.

Worth the cost to buy it, but playing multiplayer, my friends and I have had plenty of instances where one of us is frozen. So they then need to leave the game and re-join. When you re-join a game, it shows you the last few turns that you missed, and this feels like such a waste of time, watching an unskippable cutscene of turns that you’ve already watched. If they could just add a “skip recap” button that would be great. Also, not freezing during online play would be nice.

It’s hard to imagine a better digital version of a board game than this one. it’s a great way to learn the game and can be played quickly in this format. I’m playing on iPad and controls and screen size is perfect.

The app is amazing! The tutorial is a great way to learn how to play the game since each character plays differently. I’m enjoying it so much that I’ll probably buy the board game to play with people

its really good quite a bit of a learning curve but i would recomend buying the actual game and using this as a training tool

啥时候可以补全中文。太想玩另外两了

Sound is broken on the app

Zooming in and out on macbook a problem. Developer ought to add some kind of /- zoom button in game. Or work out a way to make the pinch zoom on macbook track pad work better

This game is the best game I’ve played out of hundreds of games I have downloaded. This game deserves 5 stars and it’s definitely worth the money! Yes the game is difficult to learn at first with the different factions but once you keep playing and do the tutorial you get the hang of it and it will be loads of fun!!! And kudos to the developers for making this game and keeping it alive!!! :)

Having played a few games on the tabletop, I found this app to be very helpful in learning each faction. I really like the tutorials and the challenges. Asynchronous play has allowed me to play with my friends over a week while we go throughout. It shows you everyone’s moves so you don’t miss anything. We’ll done!

Thank you so much for this incredible adaptation of the greatest board game ever!! Props to the developers for all the hard work.

I’ve experienced many issues with the DLC not activating once purchased and then deactivating randomly once it does start working. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restoring purchases, etc. If it weren’t for this issue with accessing content I’ve paid for, I’d gladly give this excellent game 5 stars but be warned.

I had issues with the new expansion but emailed the direwolf support email and they fixed it! Cant ask for anything better than actual support help. Love this app so much!

This is a great game worth the payment. I got this game 🤔 it’s like risk so I tried it out......Not as expected. I also didn’t know that each carefree has a different game mode. But other wise it’s good.😏😏😏😏😏

This is a 5 star game, I would be happy to give it the 5th star, but the store won’t allow me to buy two of the expansion, just locks the game out forcing me to hard reset. Aside from that, fantastic game.

I had a small issue (a glitch) and dire wolf digital fixed it just like that. It’s a great board game and the digital adaptation only makes it that much better

Dear Developers, I want to thank you for the amazing game. I have an issue with the new expansion though (vagabonds and alternative deck): when I try to buy it the game freezes and the add on is neither bought nor I get promoted to buy it. Any ideas how to fix that? Best and thanks Thorsten

I love this game and it deserves a five star review, I am just having a small bug where I’ve purchased the exiles and partisans expansion, but I am unable to use it. Every time I try to “re-purchase” this expansion my game crashes.

I love this board game. But sometimes can’t talk my friends into playing it. So it’s nice to have the app as well.

Great adaptation of the board game! Online play with friends works well. Are there plans to add the Underworld or Marauder Expansions? This would certainly help extend replayability by providing more options.

The game seems to freeze a lot, iPhone 12 so certainly not and old device. Don’t have as many problems on my iPad. Also notifications that pop up in game are often wrong, telling me it’s my turn in a game when it isn’t.

Love Root! But would be better if it had controller support

I love playing this game , I would love the other expansions added to the game. Hopefully soon

I really want to like this app. But the “zoom info” at the top of the screen is blocking all of the pop ups that tell me what is happening. I cannot get rid of it. I have tried everything. I will change my rating if this ever gets fixed.
