Terraforming Mars

The latest bug fix has created problems, cannot start new game with Prelude on iPad Pro. When it works, is a great game. Please fix.

The app is a stable and wonderfully designed port of the board game Terraforming Mars to the digital world. The user interface is well designed, which makes for a streamlined playing experience. I have already played hundreds of games with the app.
I really enjoy the expansions, first of all Prelude, but also the extra boards and Venus. I am looking forward to the inclusion of Colonies and Turmoil.
If you like engine building board games, then you should definitely consider this app.

Purchased the game years ago, but recently off line game kicks me out, can’t reload saved game anymore.

I bought this game and I bought the prelude expansion. The expansion can't be played, it just keeps directing me to buy it but when I click buy it says I already bought it.
So.. Money gone but no expansion

We love this game! Unfortunately it has had some bugs and now I lost the expansions (which I bought a few months ago). Can’t even buy them again…

This is a lovely game and I play it a lot (on steam). I bought it for my iPad but when I bought and paid for the prelude and elysium dlc in-app they did not appear in the game. Deleted and reinstalled the game, restored the purchases and restarted the iPad. Nothing helps.

Great game, but there are more bugs happening lately. Two straight games where it crashes right before the end of the game

I love terraforming mars and it works well as a digital boardgame, but there are so many bugs! I have to restart the app every time I want to have a look at the cards played, because there is no way to close the window.

We love this but now it’s not possible anymore to play a local game without pass & play.
Could you please bring that back?
Overall a great game, the hardest AI is still quite easy to beat.
Curious when colonies and Venus will make their appearances ;-)

Can you add the “continue” button again after completing a solo challenge? Currently you can only return to the main menu via the menu but then the game is saved (and clutters the ‘resume’ option).

TM is still one of the best board games available. The app used to work really well but has severely been neglected over the last year or so. More and more bugs mess up gameplay. At least once per game you have to kill the app and restart. Placing a tile is regularly causing a freeze. Right now I’m stuck in the final score where the button to close the game won’t appear (that’s new by the way) you are frequently logged off by the app. When paying for cards you cannot reduce steel/titanium once it’s maxed out. Played cards cannot be hidden once you opened them. You need to do a trick with your hand cards to hide them again. Also there are some lazy features not used, like using the right keyboard for entering email address. You can store your results since recently but cannot see any statistics other than the achievements. In short, what has been a great app is now a great disappointment. In the beginning they used to respond to bug reports attentively burly the last reports they couldn’t be bothered apparently.

Pc and iOS version is more buggy. Screens hangs. Looks like a memorymflush problem.

I played this game a lot, it’s great! And it worked perfect (iPad) until the recent update.
Now the played cards panel often freezes and stays on the screen, text on cards is too small so not readable, cards are sometimes even displayed without text, tiles sometimes can’t be placed. What a shame, it was so great! Please go back to the former version.

Recent update has made game difficult to play on mobile. Multiple times I had been unable to place cities (map becomes unresponsive once I select city cards I wish to play, both times were with Tharsis Corp), also when attempting to see what cards others have played, interface gets too crowded and buttons overlay each other, making it difficult to shift back to normal mode in which one can continue their turn.
Other than these hiccups, game is amazing.

Wish the AI was a bit better and not as predictable (I.e. Not wait for temp up action if there's a bonus to get or claiming milestones). It’s not much of a challenge. Also, some insights are nowhere to be found. I.e. how many cards of a certain type the opponents have played and some other things. Still quite some room for improvement that aren’t improved upon at all it seems. Otherwise a very cool implementation.

This app is a beautiful looking port of the board game Terraforming Mars to the digital world. I have already played about 30 games. If you like engine building board games, you are sure to like this.

Just going to continue writing bad reviews every time my game crashes or one of the other players crash. They are cheating with all the positive reviews I think. A game that crashes this much cannot have so many four stars. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

Lots of game-breaking bugs that are simply not getting fixed. It’s not fun to commit to a >hour long game when the likelihood of encountering a game ending bug is so big. I recommend you to stick with the physical board game until these bugs are fixed.
