8 of 9The tutorial is nearly impossible to complete. Several steps refer to keyboard shortcuts, as does the help menu. I had to click on icons through trial and error to figure out what they did. The very first step, to move a person across the field, took many tries to finesse into working. Later, new characters need to be selected but they're hiding behind trees. Hopefully this game will get updated controls. Do not buy for now.
The tutorial and in-game help both reference key combinations such as using Shift, Ctrl, and the number keys to select, deselect and assign a number to a group. And the scroll settings are edge, tile, and "Third Mouse Button". You will use the arrow buttons and the mini-map to scroll instead (ugh). Text appears underneath where you tap, so is unreadable, and so forth and so on. Basically, the game is unplayable and Apple should have refused it.
Horrible user interface. Apparently ported from PC, but not updated for touchscreen devices. For example, the help file shows only keyboard commands, and tooltips pop up under the user's finger and are almost impossible to read. No instructions that I could find other than those in the tutorial. Save your money.
Terrible!!!! Does not work like original and was not updated for iPad touch screen use. Money back please!!!!!!
Doesn’t work on my iPad, may I have a refund please Thank you, Julie
My gosh, don't you devs know how to test games before selling?! What a frigging mess this is. Even your help and some of the settings are for a PC! I set the screen for lower resolution so I can read things and I lose the directional star behind a menu so I can't move. There are so many problems that it's a waste of time to describe them all. Another $6 down the drain. Jerks. Don't buy this game until they patch the heck out of it. iPad 4 with iOS 7.
I want my money back!!!
I normally like this kind of game but the interface was too hard to use. It took several minutes just to figure out how to move. I never even made it past the first tutorial, getting stuck chasing my dude around the screen while trying to get him to marry a woman. After he hid among the trees and went indoors, I just gave up on the relationship. He's just not ready for that kind of commitment. Maybe he'll be in the mood after an update or two.
