Mansions of Madness

Love this game! Played it twice, and love it. I am always excited to play more. What makes this game fun is the immersion into the story. More sound affects and voice acting would enhance this further. To make it a five start some suggested features. Have players create a user profile so DLC can be synced across platforms. I am all for paying for more content to support the maintenance of this APP, but having to rebuy content due to a change in platform is disappointing. Please add more 60-90 minute DLC so I can introduce others. Adding more voice acting into the dialogue would make it a fuller experience, and sound effects when monsters are introduced. This is how I get others hooked and they buy the game. During horror and combat checks, separate out the check and the outcomes dialogue box. This way there is more suspense so the players do not know what happens when you fail or succeed thus making harder decisions to use clues or not. Add theme DLC for holidays, Halloween, Valentines, St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, etc. more opportunity for income, a win-win! I love the balance of board game and app usage. Reminds of the Clue board game with VHS accompanying it. This is fantastic for haunting theme parties! Highly recommend.

The app works great. I have no issues with it. It has worked solidly and has great presentation. Love it. The main issue that I have with it now is that it needs to be updated so that it works with the new screen ratio for the iPad Pro 11 inch. Since it has not yet been updated, it has black bars showing on the sides of the app. The the app still works as before but it is ugly and not utilizing the full screen of the iPad Pro 11 inch. Looking forward to the update. When the app works with the new screen size I’ll give the fifth star! Keep up the good work.

I played this with four other people for the first time today. It was really fun and guys and girls alike all enjoyed it. I think it could better immerse players by adding some death sounds for creatures on the app, or having the enemies possibly randomly drop different loot? Currently killing a monster feels unrewarding or anticlimactic. I suppose it seems from my perspective as a player it would be easy to add these although I know it may not be the case. After having played this with my friends copy I did go out and buy my own and intend to add the expansions as well. This is a SERIOUSLY fun game.

The 2nd edition of the Mountains of Madness board game with this app is absolutely stellar. The set-up is a breeze with the app, and the gameplay is streamlined and a ton of fun. The sound effects and reading of the scenario intro. as played by the app are first rate, and add a great deal to the atmosphere and to immersion in the game world. If you are on the fence, I recommend the game highly. I owned the first edition which did not have the app, and which rarely made it to the table because of all the setup and advance work necessary to play the game. The 2nd edition with the app; however, is going to hit the table A LOT.

My friends and I were thrilled with how well the app worked, how stable it was, and how much it kept track of. What disappointed us was the lack of sound effects when, for example, a monster died. The app doesn’t even offer narration for 90% of its text—not even using the iOS built-in voices. Talk about a missed opportunity! There is at least ambient sound, but additional sound effects and narration to provide a more atmospheric experience would be incredibly welcome.
