Become Borgo and unite the forces of the mutants who spread terror in the wastelands.

Neuroshima Hex Reviews
The restore purchases does not seem to be working with the latest update. We would rather not have to pay for Mississippi again. We wish the updates were more frequent. No choice but to patiently wait for all the armies we paid for to return. 5 stars because we want to support this great game. Dec. 26, 2022 Edit: we broke down and paid for Mississippi again. Hope our extra money helps get the 3 and 4 player game options released soon.
Glad to see with recent updates that Neuroshima hex works on our iPhone. While playing against AI is not as smoothe as it used to be, it is not so slow that it negatively impacts gameplay. Only problem is that not all the armies are back, but Im glad to hear theyre coming. Its also good to see that Portal is adding armies that werent even in the old app.
The new updated look looks worse to us than the original that inspired it all.
Wonderful At The Core 5-Stars, but a snails pace development cycle has fans feeling disrespected. We were patient for a while, but the latest length in-between updates is frustrating. If we hit the four month mark without another army being released, this formerly, 5-star review becomes 2, and so forth. Not as a threat, but as a genuine reflection of how we feel about the game. As much as the snails-pace of new faction/ army releases and rerelease of armies weve already paid for deserve all the scorn received of late, the core game remains as brilliantly designed as ever. For those that havent played this award winning board game turned iPhone strategy game before, do yourself a favor and give it a try. What wed love to see as a loyal fanbase: – Reimplementation of the factions, we & many of us have already paid for- especially the plant one! There are so many great ones we miss so badly! – No extra button press when it is our turn. – More varied animations (everything is either a nudge or explosion). – Why not ad more, variable backgrounds? Wouldnt it be pretty easy to hire an artist to just have some different background wallpapers that switch out? – These are just off the top of our head. Im not trying to say Im representing an all encompassing list of ideas from our fellow players. Bonus: What about even newer factions we havent seen before on iOS?! (Note on this- loved getting the Beasts army which we hadnt seen before! Bonus 2: This game is worth a little advertising push on the App Store to get it out there.
This used to be our favorite game and it was relatively easy to play. Now it takes more time and is less intuitive. There should be a way to roll back to previous versions. We used to play this game about a dozen times a day. Now its only when we have absolutely nothing to do and we usually quit half way though the game because its so terrible. Dont purchase this until it becomes playable again.

Awesome game. Have been playing for years. Its a very clever game and you never play the same round twice.
Wonderful At The Core 5-Stars! However, they currently have a snails-pace update cycle that might should consider speeding up, with the least intention, or perhaps most importantly, in order to respect their fans whom purchased factions/ armies previously before the game was sold to the current company running it and have not made some of those factions armies with a promise hinging upon nebulous future re-release dates.

We love abstract, tactical skirmish games like this one. Neuroshima: Hex! Is our favorite of all the ones we’ve played. We’ve never seen a games mechanics match the theme so well as in NH! Im glad to see this game accessible again, whereas the previous iteration had become unplayable. The one-star reviews of this game are unmerited. They are based on inaccurate information. 1) It is not a money-grab. The previous iteration, as great as it may have been, became broken, abandoned, and unplayable. It was irretrievable and irreparable; therefore, the current developer had to start from scratch. However, instead of creating an entirely new app that previous owners would have to purchase a second time, the developer made it free to previous owners. Whats more, as they release new factions they have made them free to anyone who owned those factions in the previous iteration. 2) The game is far from unplayable. Since release on September 5, 2021, we’ve logged over 500 plays online. Bugs have been fixed promptly when the developer has been made aware. We for one am grateful to have this amazing game available in this format because its more easily accessible. Im grateful to see this game supported once again on this kind of platform. If youre like us, and you want to see this game succeed, leave a more reasonable review, and help the developer bring more content to the table. Kind regards!
As much as the latest iteration deserves all the scorn received of late, the core game remains as brilliantly designed as ever. In a push to encourage growth and new players (instead of detouring with bad reviews), Im rating the actual game here- which, Im sure you fellow loyal fans all agree is and always has been, 5-Stars. For those that havent played this game yet, youre in for a treat if you give this award winning board game turned iPhone strategy game a try.

We love this game and loved the old app. Im excited that Portal is supporting it and intends to develop it further. However, having to wait so long for the AI to make its move kills our enthusiasm every time we give it a chance. The only app was instantaneous and thats what we need for our enjoyment.
Some time ago, there was an iOS update that rendered many apps unusable. The original NS Hex was one of those apps. But we blame the iOS update for the loss of man apps that were paid for but no longer worked. The developers for this game did eventually port the game to the new iOS, and like many have said, it falls very short of how well the original game played. BUTthe game itself, not how well the app delivers the game, but the game is itself is a 5 star strategy game that is played in minutes. Im rooting for the developers to get it right eventually. Speed up the AI, bring back 3 and 4 players, improve the graphics, etc.
This game used to be wonderful. We loved playing this game in our free time when we were younger, but now the game is unplayable. The game was perfectly fine as was, but now its absolutely awful.
The game was auto updated and is now unplayable. Why did they try and fix something that wasnt broken? Why does a game this old only have 8 reviews? They tried to make more money by forcing a product that clearly isnt ready and keep resetting the reviews. No accountability and no loyalty.
The fix on this is so bad, we see the original reviews have been removed. Those of us who were fans and paid for the additional armies and features continue to get screwed with this horrible horrible so called upgrade. We purchased the additional armies and to this day we are still stuck with a crappy game Does if it is not broken dont fix it mean anything.
Gave up on this game when developer switched because implementation was garbage. Bugs every where, graphics hard to read, DUMB AI Decided to try it again recently and its still broken. Initiative 3 troops and Initiative 2 troops attacking at same time. Last we checked 3 comes before 2, nice programming guys.
Add the armies you made us pay for and fix your broken game.
Loved the older version of the game. The new skin isnt as easy to view and the game play seems to take longer against the AI. We would love to see the old skin. Probably will not though.
The ai is too slow in this updated version. We love the tabletop game and the old app but this version is borderline unplayable.

So many issues since the game has been relaunched. Crashes all the time. Cannot recover previous purchases as well. Loved the original version.
One of the oldest games we have and so good they are updating it. Looking forward to the end result.
Used to be 5 but now just a 2 The old app 3.0 had it all. The old interface was great. This new interface is poorly designed. Please just bring back the old interface.
We cant even get past the tutorial! Im told to please follow the tutorial, even though Im exactly as instructed.
Developer of old app went out of business. So without the know how to update the old app every time Apple updates iOS, portal games had to start from scratch. And they couldnt just do every race out of the gate.

Yes, we know they are adding content back slowly. Its still unacceptable that it was removed in the first place. This new version needed a lot more work, paying customers arent your F****NG beta testers! Glad we still have the old version on our iPad. Im never updating. Fire whoever is developing this game.
Whoever decided to re-skin and reprogram this should be fired. What was our favourite game for many years has been ABSOLUTELY RUINED IN EVERY WAY. It looks and plays terribly now. The buttons are all smaller and less intuitive. The colours and tiles look so bad and different from the game we love. We bought all the armies and used to play it many times each day for many YEARS! Now we only start it when we see it has had an update in the forlorn hope they have reverted the game to what was once a 5 star game. All armies we purchased are gonethis is a criminal act. We want to know how to complain to Apple, and we want a REFUND. The only fix is to fire whoever ruined this game and revert back to either version 1 or 3. Look at the version details to see what they did. Both of these were 5 star games. Version 2 was bad, but it was nothing compared to the debacle Version 4 is. It does not even deserve 1 star. We have reached out to the developer and her nothing, and our reviews on their web site were removed. It is absolute cr@p now. Positive reviews prior to 2021 show you the love this game had. Positive reviews in 2021 and later are probably from the developers friends. Our son is a game developer and when he saw what these people did he couldnt believe they could treat their fans this badly.
This game is now unplayable. Cant access our purchases. So broken. Fix it or refund. Do neither and you are nothing more than thieves.
Simply put, the faction doesn’t work on the phone. When you have a unit next to your HQ that you should be able to move, the interface doesn’t give you any ability to move the unit. Who’s brilliant idea was it to redevelop this game? Went from a top five game to a bottom five game.
The new version of this app is a step backwards in every conceiveable way.
It used to be great, it felt good to use and wasnt clunky. Now its clunky, ugly, and just feels bad to use. Plus the AI takes forever to do its turns now. Dont even get us started on how they REMOVED all the armies and somehow are taking forever to add them all back in. It shouldnt be this hard. On top of all of this, They dont even have 4 player mode implemented yet even though it was a thing in the old version. Its been over a year and they still havent added everything back. Whoever made the decision to do this should not be in the leadership position they are in, they are a complete idiot.
Loved this game until newest update. Cant play 4 players anymore and all our purchased races are not here anymore. Do not buy this game as is.
First, Im aware they are adding the expanded armies one at a time and that those of us who purchased them in the old app will have them restored. Thats fine, Im patient. What bothers us is that the app is terrible now in terms of functionality and ease of use. The menus are weird to navigate. In-game it is not at ALL intuitive how to go about seeing what each tile does – the old version had this built-in right in the game board and now we have to dig for it. The buttons are much smaller so its hard to see on a phone. Our least favorite thing is that in the old app, when it was the AIs turn, it was almost instant. Now theres a wait for it to take its turn. This makes no sense and slows down the game flow considerably. Lastly, every time there is an update, it loses our old in-progress games. We also have to make sure our friend and we are updated to the same version or we cant play together at all. This used to be a 5-star app that we played all the time – an app that was miraculously better than the original board game itself. But with as finicky as this new app is, Id rather go back to our old version 2.0 cardboard game.
We cant get it to set up more than two players. The bottom two positions wont let us set them up. There is no place for us to download the armies they reintroduced, that we already owned previously. Very disappointing to see a great game be ruined by a company that doesnt care.
You wont be able to play a match without the ai crashing your game. Also if you had expectations set from play previous versions youll find that the game has gone downhill. There was we time when we purchased each of the races because of the pure enjoyment of creativity the developers displayed. Now we wouldnt spend money to buy just the game.
If you had the previous excellent version of this game, you lost all of your purchased armies when the update went through and there appears to be no way to restore purchases, nor can you reload the previous version.
We bought all the expansions and now the game we purchased is gone and replaced with this garbage.
The newest versions of this once great game have ruined it. Just had the game lock up with the only fix being a reinstall. Why they felt the need to fix something that was never broken is a mystery. This is a classic board game, but the app in its current state is a complete mess. Save your money.
If you are thinking about buying this. JUST DONT. Spend your money on something actually worth your time. When you try to fix a problem that doesnt exist you get this. A sloppy mess, because nobody asked for a re-skin that would strip away the literally all the content (and add bugs) built up over years. Cant even make a 3-4 player game bc half the screen doesnt work. The game has actually DEVOLVED to less content and more bugs than the original thing; we would usually ask how this is possible but when you look at how hames are made today it really isnt a surprise.
Let us play against more than 1 AI Also why is it taking so long to get the armies that we paid for and you took away? What kind of scam is this?
Update destroyed this game, and got rid of all expansion packs, deleted the app. Dont buy.
What was the point of this upgrade. The game was great before now its worse in every way.
All but 5 armies have been removed with the UI update. Had been playing this app for years, was in the top 150 players on the scoreboard. Current app is unplayable as is.
Unfortunately each update deteriorates the game and now all the extra content we purchased has been removed. This was a great game but in an attempt at improving it with new styles and menus is making it worse. Oh and many bugs introduced. This game went from 5 stars to 1 and the developers are not addressing.
The recent upgrade to this great app has created serious problems. From a seemingly non-random setup (so far 8 of every 10 games the AI goes first and the inevitable pick of the center position gives it a significant advantage) to the failure to port over all purchases on day one (can we get a proportional amount of our money back until they are ready? Didnt think so) to game play bugs (medic is broken, with the AI able to soak multiple hits and the player only one), this version is a step down from the last version. Some things have been improved (the AI is better and it uses its add-on ability tiles more rationally) but this is not enough to recommend the game until everything is fixed.
Okay we’ve always been a fan of NS Hex and it used to be a solid app. One of our favorites in fact. We’ve purchased every additional army released, and now we cant play them? We also seem to be experiencing the same issue as others when we try to set up a local game with more than two players. We cant even begin to understand how these issues are still a thing, but for now this gets one star. Once all of this is resolved and we can play the game bug free with the teams we’ve purchased, Ill up our rating.
-Removing content that we’ve paid for is absurd -Insanely buggy (I cant even create a 4 player game rn) This used to be our favorite game to have on our phone. Now its basically unplayable. Awful. If we could give 0 stars we would.
Any chance you could republish the puzzle app too?
