Wars of the Roses - Rosenkönig App Reviews

Runs smooth a keeper

I have only begun to play the app, and I enjoy it. It does have a good discussion of the rules. It could use a tutorial though. I am having difficulties in figuring out how to play the hero cards, not necessarily when, but the mechanics of how to play them. Otherwise a good app.

Simple like checkers and deeply strategic against the right opponent.

Fun game, good AI. Great for a quick game. Campaign is great too.

初代iPadでQuick MatchのAI easyとAI normalをプレイしましたが、 AIがheroカードを使うしかない状況のときでも、heroを使おうとしないので 思考中のままゲームが進まない状態になるようです。 iPhone版のAIはheroを使うので上記のような現象は起こりませんでした。

It won the first two games, then the next game I was winning and it crashed!! Same for the one after that, crashed! Why doesnt it remember where we left off? It doesnt make me want to play when it always crashes as I am about to win!

Im a fan of the original board game and am glad to see it on ios. Ive only played vs easy AI and it works well. The graphics, sounds, and music are all nicely thematic without being annoying. Havent tried multiplayer yet. Only room for improvement I see at this time is that the print/font for the rules is kinda small and hard to read. But I do love that the rules are presented top-down (ie explain scoring *before* how to play a turn. Bravo!). All game rules should be explained that way.

Yes this is fine except that when the ai is facing unfavorable strategic calls it gives up and stops playing. When working, this is a good game.

This game is boring. It is nice to look at, but it is not very fun. It is basically checkers with cards that dictate your moves. A game that charges as much as this one does should be one that I do not want to put down. Unfortunately after playing the game a handful of times, Im ready to delete it.

I think there might be a good game here, but a very confusing interface has made me give up after half an hour. Terrible menu system, difficult to understand hot spots. Cant tell what is scoring and what isnt. Some images swipe but not fully. This is an amateurish production. Too bad, I get the feeling the board game was good and this could be fun on the iPad. Maybe they will revamp the interface and menu system in a future version. How could anyone think this was ready for sale and at $4 n less?!

There is about 4 to 8 hours of game play in the campaign. I have not seen any players online for automatch, maybe the game is still too new. When I first started playing the game, I could not figure out what I was supposed to do, which is a cardinal sin in an app. I finally worked out that you click on the card once to preview a move and a second time to play that card, and that the battle/knight resources are spent automatically when your move is onto the other sides pieces. The draw deck is hard to find as well, since the card backs have dark backgrounds and are drawn on top of a dark background. The key mechanic of this game is that you see both players cards, so you can maneuver in such a way that your opponent cannot move, which is advantageous. One thing that would help would be to get help text when you click on various sections of the game. Another thing that would help would be if the campaign modes first scenario had a tutorial built into it. Once you get past the confusing user interface, there is a decent board game here, but nothing special. I think if you liked the board game, you will like this game.

I held off for the longest time as it looked like a game of Othello with cards thrown in some weird way...but having played it is too cool and not really directly Othello related. Your opponent and you take turns moving the king via cards with the king depositing a token of that players color. Each card lists a direction and a roman numeral from 1-3. Normally you can only move onto blank spaces, but if willing to use one of your 4 knights, you also have an option to flip an opponents token over to your side. The key tactic is to try to clump as many of your tokens together so that they are connected to one another in an up-down or right-left manner (i.e. diagonally adjacent doesnt count). Your knights are your aces in the hole! While you usually only start the game with 4, using them strategically to extend overturn an opponent that has placed themselves in the midst of one of your huge continuous territories or just to jump in the middle of one of your opponents biggest territories to break stuff up, can make all of the difference. Its best to save them into as late of the game as possible although this runs the risk of forcing you to use them in less than optimal ways if their use is the only legal move you have at the moment.

After reading the introduction its easy to play and not that difficult as it seems at the beginning. The different difficulty settings keep the game challenging. Quite addicitve. Like it!

Normally im not a fan of strategy games, but the rules are simple. Also the layout is easy to navigate. Good game!

The game itself is very fun, however my game keeps crashing in the first level of the campaign when both players have no moves. I dont think it knows what to do so it just ends program. If this problem were fixed it would definitely deserve 5 stars for awesome game play and visual presentation.

The rules are very simple and the interface and menu are very easy to navigate. No real need for a tutorial, as the application lets you know which cards are playable. It also counts down the number of playing pieces left, as well as the number of heros left to play. It also gives running totals for each player, so if you cut your opponents group in two, their total drops as your rises. At the beginning of the campaign, I did get bounced out at the end of the first battle, but it hasnt done it again. Overall it is a great implementation of a unique game with interesting gameplay.

Its a fun game, but I wont be playing for long without Asynchronous online play. It would be a 5 star game if this feature was added.

Please get rid of the rearing horses - they are a distraction. Also, it would help if after the first tap the selected card was highlighted.

This is a really fantastic easy to learn easy to teach a friend easy to play, but can be trying to master...the one player campaign plays nicely and gives you a variety of situations...plays well via hotseat too, it just needs asynchronous online play for five stars! Get it, its a lot of fun!

Believe it!
