8 of 25My new addiction, a game that is incredible easy to learn, but very deep in strategy. A very calming game when I am stressed.
Relaxing game for sure. Let’s you play vs Ai, coop, or multi.
This game is fun and has an easy to use interface!
It’s super easy to learn, and very satisfying to play. Genuinely good port. Ok, the pieces tend to clump starting position more than happens in real life, but that’s not a big drawback.
A few simple options/preferences would significantly improve gameplay:<br/><br/>1. Need an option to turn off the dizzying angled view and look at the board directly. Just a simple top-down 2D layout, which should be easy for the devs considering they have already incorporated an augmented reality feature to show the board on your table using your phone’s camera.<br/><br/>2. This game is BEGGING to be vertical instead of horizontal. Board in middle, tiles on the bottom, settings and stuff on top. This would make it possible to play with one hand, and in my opinion, make it significantly more enjoyable.<br/><br/>3. The rules of Tsuro only allow you to place a tile in one location - in front of your stone. So why do I have to drag the tile into position every time I play one, when all that’s needed is a “play tile” button? If you drag and drop slightly in the wrong location, try again!<br/><br/>4. NEED an option to turn off animations. I’m playing the game to actually play Tsuro, not to watch a bunch of cutscenes.<br/><br/>I understand they want to prioritize aesthetics, but they’ve sacrificed playability to the point where I just can’t play it. Classic example of trying too hard.
Read the title!
I am addicted to this game. Get it. Developers: for the love of all that is holy, on the next version include the 36th tile! How many games end up with a dissatisfying ending because the last piece is missing? Major oversight in game development.
While the board game is fun, it has some limitations. The digital app keeps you from making errors by letting you know that your move is illegal. You don’t lose any of the pieces.
