May 2024

I love Spirit Island. I have the boardgame. For the longest time I was hesitating getting this - why duplicate when I have the boardgame, right? But, the ease of play - the sounds and music - and no setup time - have won me over. It will never replace the original boardgame experience, - but playing at nightime for example, as a solo on my pc - soooo much easier and I can get through more games this way. Also, it is a bit of a teaching aid at times - if an event or card left you feeling dubious - the digital edition seems to resolve most of those issues for you. VERY COOL APP!! Absolutely worth getting for Fans of the boardgame.

The board game it's based on is already very good, but the digital version goes above and beyond. I wold even say digital is the way to play because: - it's a much better price (base game lists for as much as $90, Jagged Earth as much as $70, etc) - complex game rules are managed for you, limiting errors - game logic is implemented very well, and things will happen automatically where possible - the undo button help a lot while learning

Jorbs described it as "8 really complicated slay the spire turns" and I totally agree. It's got that same kind of (almost) full information enemy gameplay combined with an absurd amount of variety and choices that you can make. The packaging is different (roguelike deckbuilder vs... "cooperative" deckbuilder), but the itches it scrathes are very similar The difference between difficulty 0 and difficulty 6 is ridiculous, but it's all possible and played out with the same set of spirits.

Admittedly, it takes time to get into. I bought this digital version of the game before committing to buy the physical board game to learn three things: 1) If I would like the game enough to justify buying the physical board game variant. 2) To learn to play it, so that if I'll like it enough to buy it (the physical version), I'll be able to teach it to my partner and friends. The digital version is especially good for this as it enforces the rules, so no (rule-based) mistakes can be made. 3) To learn different spirits digitally to mitigate the hassle of learning everything on the go with other people, who might get frustrated due to the highish learning curve and long thinking times. And to answer point 1 above: yes, I love the game, and will buy the physical version with all its expansions.

Truly great. Very thinky, fun and challenging - with a superb AI and huge amount of possibilities and replay value. Spirit Island is one of those games you will play for the rest of your life. Highly recommended.
