Legends of Andor Wiki

Andor as a board game was... well, different... to wrap my head around, and the app version plays exactly like the physical game. It isn’t a hack-and-slash, attack everything kind of game - you have to carefully consider when to attack enemies and when to let them attack your castle (or similar... based on scenario). Also, even though you’re always tempted to “divide an conquer” the multiple quest objectives, your characters have to stick together whenever possible (at least in pairs) if you want any chance of beating enemies stronger than the basic Gor (and even a Gor has the ability to beat a single hero... so teaming up on them is often a good idea too). The digital version of the game is - of course - beautiful. And I really like the additional maps and scenarios (at least “additional” to the base physical game I purchased years ago). Only real complaint... sometimes the lack of an undo button is frustrating when I click something by accident... but that’s a minor complaint for such an enjoyable game.

I love this game. I own the table top version and was excited to see it available for iOS. This app version was easy for me to learn and I was playing right away. I'm not sure how complicated it would feel for a new player. For example not every rule is explained in the tutorial or first campaign. However things the game is designed to start off relatively easy and ramp up from there. If you like strategic board games, this is for you. Expect a little up front rule learning. So far the story line it's exactly like I remember from the physical game. You can adjust difficulty level though in case you have played before. I haven't played enough to know if the iOS version has the same randomness built in to the ai as the physical board game (for example placement of certain things on the board based on dice rolls). This randomness is what gives the game replayability. So far I'm really happy with this version. Recommended!

Current state is unplayable which is unfortunate since this seems excellent otherwise. I really hope a patch is in the works since this is a frequent and common complaint in the review section. I restarted my iPad as suggested in other responses but that did not remedy the issue. I tried to start the game over 10 times but crashed exactly at the same spot (tutorial start after choosing hero). Please fix Dev team! Edit. Great job dev team. Fast and responsive. Issues resolved. Great game and app. Download if a tabletop fan and support a committed and engaged team.

Super addicting = bad for your life. Fun to play but I wish I could fast forward some animation and that there were better descriptions for the items and the wolf guy. I have to learn from trial and error so I end up tired of suffering through the whole adventure. I wish I could restart at certain levels within an adventure instead of the whole thing. Ugh. The mines. Update: Playing the King’s Retinue. I am pretty sure my dwarf girl left 4 coins on space 4 after defeating a Skral. I closed the game and came back and the coins are gone. It’s not in anyone’s pockets. The dwarf girl must have an off-shore account.

This is a fun, challenging game. I’d not heard of the game before but thought it looked interesting. This digital version is very well done and has high production values. My only complaint - and it is a minor one - is that you are supposed to be able to tap and hold on most things to get more info. You can on a few, but there a lot of things and times when you cannot. For example, tapping on hero’s often does show details. Tapping on tokens revealed in the fog by the spyglass does not show anything either. It’s not a big deal, but makes learning the game a bit harder.

I'm writing this review to spread the word that the developers of this online game have worked hard to deliver a good app to their customers. There were some problems when I first purchased the game. After I sent a description of my tablet and the nature of the problem, the development team fixed the app within a couple of days. The game runs smoothly and is very enjoyable. I now highly recommend this app to all. I consider this to be excellent customer service. Thank you team.

Ok, I admit that I’m not the best person to talk about these kinda games, I don’t play as much as other people. But let me tell you that this game is fantastic. The story is compelling, giving more context in every completed quest. The board comes alive with standing pieces and unlimited actions. Strategists and fantasy enthusiasts alike will love the complexity of this game, you will always be contemplating and scheming your way to victory. This board game turned virtual is a storytelling and RPG marvel, I would strongly recommend this game.

Everything you could ask for from the board game experience! The board game is so much fun but sometimes you need a big table to play and even though you can play solo, it is always fun with other people and I personally don’t always have that option but with this app there’s no need to setup the whole board and it’s on the go! New legends and minor tweaks to in game rules makes it an awesome game for any fan or new player!

I have LOA the board game and all of its expansions (because I’m a nerd who love this game) and was blown away when I discovered that there is an app. If you’re already a fan of this amazing game then don’t hesitate to get the app as it is faithful to the physical game and wonderfully executed. If you’re new to LOA you need only play the tutorial to learn this game. The rules are almost ridiculously easy to learn but the game play is brilliantly challenging! Thank you for bringing this to the digital realm!!

I was able to play it once. After that, it crashes every single time. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still crashes. This is on the newest iPad Pro with the latest iOS. It was fun the one time I played it, but... Update: the game magically started working again. Not sure why it started crashing, or why it stopped, but all is well again. I’ve upped my rating to 4 stars because thus far, it is a lot of fun.

The app is great, and the game is keeping me involved longer than other board game apps I own. It’s a decent puzzle. As the scenarios got longer and more complex I had to set it down, but now that there is an undo option I will likely pick it up again.

I enjoyed the game and finished all but the last two levels. Honestly having to restart at the beginning of each level after losing was exhausting after awhile. The game mechanics to “learn and improve” by repeating stages is decent, however when you pass 1 or 2 levels in a stage, but having to start at the beginning each time you lose has been a design flaw of games for making them “longer”. In the end, this game became tedious. These are outdated and obsolete game mechanics for this day in age. Don’t buy unless you love spending hours repeating steps over and over.

So, there’s lots to like about the game. The graphics and game play seem to work well, after a bit of figuring out time. What I don’t understand is why this game deviates from the rules of the actual board game. What I mean is, in the board game (if I’m understanding THAT correctly) you only progress up the letters once all the heroes have finished a full day (by clicking the rooster button). Here, it seems that it progresses much more quickly. Why change that?! What was wrong with the original game rules?

Love the app when it works... had no problems when I downloaded it and played for a few hours, here a week later I can’t get it to pass the loading screen with the sleepy guy. Crashes out. My phone meets all the specifications but it is hit or miss on launch. When I double click the button at the bottom of my iPhone, the preview for the app is the last place I left off in my adventure, but once I click it, it goes to the sleepy guy loading screen. I have closed the app and restarted my phone. Still hit or miss. I’ve seen this complaint in other reviews. Please fix so we can all enjoy the game.
