Talisman: Origins Reviews
This game is awesome and a fantastic idea for the single player aspect of Talisman the only 2 problems we have are theres need to be a zoom feature,the print on some cards are too small and there isnt a native zoom feature and second, you cant play music or listen to podcast while playing on the app even if you put the SFX and music to 0. We love the music but we like to listen to our own epic music or podcast while we play. Thank you for making this.
The regular version of Talisman has this feature, why not in Origins? We bought a new phone but the screen is smaller, even with 20/20 airline pilot vision we can barely read the cards. Almost every card game app we’ve played has the double tap zoom in option. Im completely surprised and disappointed by this. We love the concept of Origins but we think Ill have to stick with the regular talisman app.
Biggest problem is the algorithm used in dice role prevents player from rolling anything higher than 3 most of the time. We did a testing by several individual players and all 9 had extremely similar results out of 21 roles; player 1 rolled 1 8x, 2 5x, 3 4x, 4 2x, 5 1x, 6 1x; player 2 rolled 1 6x, 2 4x, 3 4x, 4 4x, 5 2x, 6 1x; player 3 rolled 1 7x, 2 5x, 3 2x, 4 3x, 5 2x, 6 2x; player 4 rolled 1 9x, 2 2x, 3 4x, 4 2x, 5 1x, 6 3x; player 5 rolled 1 6x, 2 4x, 3 5x, 4 3x, 5 2x, 6 1x; player 6 rolled 1 5x, 2 5x, 3 4x, 4 3x, 5 2x, 6 2x; player 7 rolled 1 6x, 2 4x, 3 5x, 4 3x, 5 2x, 9 1x; so we could post the last 2 but we think you see our point. While the graphic design and storytelling is fun, the play as you get deeper is designed to make it nearly impossible to fully complete. The game just becomes more of an aggravation than enjoyment. All in all, if you cant play the board game and need 10 minute time waster, this game could work. But dont think your going to invest anything more than that much time. Fun runs out at 10 maybe 15 minutes.
When we go to purchase ANY of the dlc, it keeps saying Product code is invalid. We really would like to purchase all of them and not being able to is a real bummer. Can someone please help?
We’ve enjoyed playing Talisman for over 25 years now and we think this iOS iteration (as well as the others) is a very well done translation of a classic board game experience into a modern app. That said, we have been repeatedly frustrated by bugs that can render the game unwinnable or bugs that force a loss condition on us that makes no sense. For example… While on the last chapter of the Beyond the Veil story we uncovered an object that would allow us to dispel spirits and the final boss character of that chapter happens to be a spirit. Typically when you get to this boss you would lose all of your objects because you are killed and turned into a spirit yourself to battle him – however, we had another object that made all of our objects and followers soul bound so we could keep them even when we were killed and turned into a spirit. With this in mind, we thought we could simply go to the final boss and use our object to dispel his spirit and complete the chapter. This seemed perfectly reasonable to us, and apparently it seemed half reasonable to the game because it did dispel the boss, but it also stuck us in an infinite loop where we could only end our turn over and over and over again after that, never triggering the victory and completion of the chapter. This was intensely frustrating because it meant we had to start the entire chapter over again. After starting that chapter over, we came across a card that moved all spirits on the board to the same location – this included the boss character that was typically on the crown of command space at the center. We thought this was great because it meant we could engage him without having to go through the center region at all. Unfortunately, despite the game moving him to the outer region due to that card, it wouldnt allow us to fight him on that space he moved to. When we made our way to the crown of command, we were once again stuck in an infinite loop, unable to engage the final boss because he wasnt there and once youre on that space you cant leave it unless you die. A third example for you… While playing the first chapter of A Dwarfs Tale, you have to collect multiple objects and then hold onto them while trying to find an astral conjunction event (or something like that, we forget the exact card). One of those objects you must collect is a talisman. We had gathered all of the objects, including the talisman and was moving around the outer region trying to get the astral conjunction event – if you lose any of these objects you fail the chapter and must start over. Well, before we could get the astral conjunction event, we encountered another card that asked us to roll for a random chance – we rolled a 1 and would be turned into a toad. We knew this would make us drop all our items and thus fail the chapter, so we used a fate point to re-roll – this time we rolled higher and was awarded another talisman. We were already at our object limit though so we couldnt pick up the new talisman without discarding something we needed – so we simply chose not to take the new talisman. Unfortunately, the game registered this as if we had lost our talisman (keeping in mind that we still had our original talisman in our inventory – we simply declined to take the new one) and thus triggered a failure state, making us restart the chapter. These are just a few examples of absolutely mind bogglingly frustrating bugs that we’ve experienced playing through the various stories on offer. We want to like this game but these sorts of bugs make it hard for us to recommend this to others.
We have the iPhone 11 Pro Max , this app hasnt been working , and now when we delete the app it still says we have the app downloaded , for example, Im deleting it so we can re download it , but it says open like we have it installed even when we delete it , so we delete the app and it doesnt give us the option to redownload the app anymore, Im just tryna play this game, please fix both talisman apps so we can play , Im craving talisman.
In the very first quest of the Dwarfs Tale if you have multiple talismans and discard just one of them you instantly lose (even though you still have one or more talismans in your inventory). We see online that the developers acknowledged this bug in 2019 and said it would hopefully be fixed in the next update. Its been three years and its still there? Feel like we just wasted our money on a buggy game that has zero support.
Another great concept within the Talisman game experience and as fun as Talisman Prologue. Hoping that Nomad continues to add new content over time. Thanks for continuing to refresh and update the game with new content! Continually feels new.
SOLO TALISMAN those two words say it all. Thank you Asmodee!
We have all the board games. Electronic versions. While we enjoyed the start, playing the wizard in the dragon king is worst possible choice ever. Everything is strength based. After dying 6 times, wish we never bought game. We look for fun and strategy in game. We are sure others have no problems. But constantly losing and not being able to progress our eans we wasted our money.
