Ok so I used my lunch break to see how the 1.0 release really is. It said “Last Played May 2020” …
I created 2 characters and went for the Black Barrow. And promptly lost. I forgot to rest with my Spellweaver and the app just didn’t warn me and with Cragheart alone I was unable to clear the last room. I also must have misunderstood or misread a Cragheart card because it just didn’t work when I tried to play it (something damages adjacent characters and when there is no character adjacent apparently the thing cannot be used, I really do not remember how we played it on the table).
This is exactly the thing with digital implementations of difficult boardgames. They just become more unforgiving and more difficult. Obviously, I will not repeat those specific mistakes if I play again soon, which I am tempted to do, except I have so many things I want to do that I do not even know where to start. However, as many of us already know Gloomhaven constantly gives you new stuff to not use correctly.
It looks lovely, is nicely animated and the campaign implementation seems really good, too.
I have not tested multiplayer obviously. But I might, I think my partner bought the game way back as well.
