Abalone reviews

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Game: It's Abalone as you know it from RealLife. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Single Player: You can perform 60 different Tasks mostly, you then, under certain Conditions, kick against the Computer of the one rising Difficulty has been on. You can then build a Game together yourself in the Editor. Every Day you can also take on a new Task, which is given anew. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Multiplayer: The Multiplayer is actually always well attended, you've always found someone to Play with. Unfortunately, there is no List or Choice of opponents with which to Play. It often comes before you compete Against a Professional even though you Play for the first Time, or vice Versa. There are 4 different Game modas to Choose From Classic, Fast Game (with less Ball), Tight Game (another Lineup of the Ball) and Network Version (which also has a new lineup). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Graphic: The Graphics are quite Good you can't put anything out of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Music: The Music is very bad, an ever-repetitive loop. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Control: The Control is very good, you can play well with Mouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pro/Contra: + Good Implementation + Online Mode + different Game Modes + every Day a new Task-No 4 Player mode-No Cursor lock-Playing Field not rotating- Playing field not Changeable-Complete Game is finished at Esc-Tips not exhibitable-Friends not a Loadable-No chat-No Multiplayer options-1 Loop song-achievements are not unlocked on Steam----------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------Conclusion: I'm really a Fan of Abalone, have the Four Player Variation in RealLife. Unfortunately, Abalone is not exactly the best Game, the Tasks you can complete are boring very quickly, but that's just my Opinion. What was important to me is the Online Multiplayer Mode, which is rather clouded by many Points like no Four Player mode, no friends invite, No Chat etc. anyway, It is Fun to play a Game. But I prefer to stick with my 4-Player Variant, four off it is more Fun and becomes a lot of Tactical. But If you don't want to spend £29.99per on the Original, you're certainly well served here for £4.99n. Nevertheless, I advise everyone to just pick it up in the Bundle because even €4.99per is too expensive based on the Bugs and many Minus points. But everyone has to detract from that themselves. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summarized: Single player: 2/10 Multiplayer: 9/10 Graphic: 7/10 Music: 52 10 Control: 10/10------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------Game: 6/10

The Game itself is awesome. The Developer also implemented it to some extent and visually mapped the original Board game well. Why the Menu Guide is so buggy and no one comes up with the Idea to correct this is a Mystery to me. For the Optics of the Game five Stars. For the disastrous Menu and the many Errors, the moderate AI and lack of Continuous experience (Tournaments, multiplayer etc.) three Star deduction.

Already during the Tutorial, the Game, up to Half of the Tutorial, is 11 times!!! Crashed. A further Evaluation of the Game is therefore superfluous. Anyone Interested should consider whether They want to take this on. And no, it's not up to my IPAD! Hello, Sorry to not be able to provide support in German. We are sorry about this. Could you please contact the support: https://asmodee.helpshift.com/a/abalone/Best regards, Asmodee Digital support

Abalone is an ingenious Game that I have been playing regularly for 2 Years. The first thing that has been noticed besides the chic Design, which you have to create a completely new Account. That is, Your old Ranking is gone. For that a Star Deduction! The second was that there are far more Basic Lineups but which, in the old Version, called "fast Game" unfortunately no longer there. 1/2 Star deduction. And the last 1/2 Star deduction there for the bad Contrast, (black Balls on black Board) that was solved at the old Version with the brown Board much more elegantly. The extended train Times can be discussed whether this makes sense or not. Performance, at least, is good. But maybe I'll have to get used to it first.

Graphically the old version was a bit outdated but very readable and enjoyable to play. Many parts could be made without visual fatigue and correctly apprehending the position of the balls on the Board. Under the pretext of getting to the taste of the day (unmastered graffiti style) the new is not only of a rare ugliness (this commits only me) but above all, and it is more serious, absolutely illegible: the white background is not only dazzling but, in appearing through the holes of the plateau, competes with the white beads in the overall perception. Even if the game does not change, the pleasure of playing has nothing more to see and it is sad to see that instead of moving forward we retreat! Wanting to modernize is good... but doing it properly is better and much more difficult! In conclusion, if the graphics are not corrected quickly, the app will be uninstalled soon.
