8 of 15Crashes on start after recent update. First gen iPad. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Good game. Had fun playing it while it worked under previous versions.
For only $1.00 it's a great deal. However, gameplay becomes extremely repetitive. Almost to the point of where having different classes seems useless. 30+ minutes can be spent on a single game, even then you can be extremely far off from your goal. This make gameplay very unbalanced, and it leads straight to boredom. Also crashes constantly; it won't even load after the major update.
As a fan of the board game I was happy when I found a portable version of talisman. But when I tried playing it on my iPod 4th generation, it kept crashing every time I opened it. I'm eager to play this game and I'd probably rate it higher if I could actually play it. Thanks.
This app is a great way to learn the rules of talisman and it's fun when you're bored in a waiting room, but the fact that it is constantly crashing in the middle of the game is bothersome. I'm on an iPhone 4S so that might contribute to performance issues.
While this app is good for learning the game, the full version is only available on the iPad, so it's not even worth spending the dollar on. I was disappointed to find out the full game was available on Google Play, but not Apple.
Love this. I used to play the board game when it came out, and this is very true to that. But it also has some great new features. The thing I don't miss is the half-hour cleanup after you're done playing the old board game. Thank you so much for making this! :)
I love classic Talisman, but like many I have 3 characters I default to. Prologue has 4 unique single player campaigns for the base characters as well as a "Race to the Crown" campaign for each too. Because this version is single player only, the only competition is to beat your high score. This gives you enough time to get to know the character as you play through their campaign without the fear of losing competitively because you wanted to try someone new. Also due to it being single player, the games are MUCH shorter. Some of the campaigns take less than 15 minutes to complete. Perfect for getting your fix in between classes, on your break at work, or in the car (if you aren't driving)!
I would like to think that this game would be great, just like the board game. Sadly, I have no idea what the game is like, considering it has always crashed on startup. It is seriously frustrating when you spend a dollar on a game, expecting it to be great fun, and then can't even play it. This bug need to be fixed. It has been this way ever since I got the game a few months ago and still won't work. Please, fix this bug.
