![]() I'm also not sure that a doom token is added when an investigator dies. When an investigator is insane or unconscious, they are not replaced.Not a huge loss, but hopefully they'll return at some point. ![]() I don't miss the final battle, really, but I do hope they'll add some other GOOs for variety and for their special abilities. So there's no "final battle" and no special ability of the GOO. So I really don't think the two versions can be integrated smoothly, nor should they be expected to.Įxamples of the some of the changes include: But I think that's not going to be a good idea at all, because the app has numerous small changes, and many of them are just done with the intent of making the programming easier and/or adjusting the difficulty. To me, that would be a lot better than adding 3 doom tokens at once completely at random at midnight, because there's some sense of control and expectation you have over that happening.Ī lot of people were anticipating that when the app came out, they'd be able to deduce the correct rules for the dice game (which there has been a lot of confusion about) from the rules to the app. But if you don't do that soon enough, then 3-4 doom tokens are added at once, or maybe you just lose altogether. I think it might make a good variant for the dice game (and the app) to have something akin to the Innsmouth Deep Ones Rising Track, where certain things add tokens to it from time to time, and you can move to certain adventures (or maybe back to the Entrance) and spend Clues to remove those tokens or to fill up a different track (like the Feds Raid Innsmouth track). As it is, because of screen loading time, the app can take quite a bit longer to play through than the dice game, and it can seem kind of lame to play all the way through it only to lose out of the blue because you got hit with 3 doom tokens at once.Īctually, the 3 doom tokens at once gives me an idea. Yes, I want the game to be a lot more difficult, absolutely, but I'd rather see a more steady stream of single doomies at midnight, or even two at a time (and that happens, too, in the app), as opposed to three at once. One thing that I'm not crazy about, though, which relates to the difficulty increase, is that you can now get hit with 3 doom tokens at once at midnight, which seems excessive and random. ![]() The difficulty does seem to be increased, as I've lost 2 out of the first 5 games I've played (compared to 2 losses out of about 25 plays of the dice game). There are quite a few changes, mostly small ones, between this version and the dice game. I had to restart about 10 times in my first game, but strangely it's as though my device "got used to it" or something, as it's been pretty stable since then. And the gameplay is very well done and easy to work with, even on the small iPhone/iPod Touch screen. Seriously, I don't know if there's a better board game app in that sense. This app is fantastic in terms of graphics and execution. Here's the iTunes link: Apparently the Android version was released, then pulled, so I guess you'll have to wait for that, but it should be out soon for Android, as well as specific versions for iPad and Mac. Engage the newly introduced mission tokens for hard-won rewards and fend off the dogged Deep One Legion as your investigators move to unknown dangers on the Pacific Adventure cards.If you haven't seen it already, Elder Sign: Omens is out now, for iOS. The new R’lyeh Rising mode of gameplay features two stages as you first navigate the Dark Waters track and then assemble the Amulet of R’lyeh to stop one of three dangerous new Ancient Ones from waking and devouring the world. Based on the popular The Call of Cthulhu expansion for the Elder Sign: Omens app, players can now venture forth from the confines of the museum and board The Ultima Thule to combat the Ancient Ones that have begun to stir in the depths of the Pacific. The murky depths of the Pacific ocean conceal untold horrors in Omens of the Deep, a new expansion for Elder Sign, the cooperative dice game steeped in the lore of H.P.
