What real reviews say
★ Functionality Bad I recently downloaded this app about a week or two prior to this review. I had created an account with Renegade/Dire Wolf but when the terms and conditions appear on the screen within the app, there is no way to agree/disagree and no way to close the pop up without closing the app and starting from
★★★ Great game BUT The user interface, and especially the tutorial, need serious upgrades.
★★★★★ As good or better than the physical Great version of the original. I just wish you could toggle off the animations. also would be great to have one level more difficult AI, but all in all it’s great
