    With so much to offer and such a great presentation, it’s hard for me not to consider Armello a must-buy for anyone with even a passing interest in digital board games or innovative RPGs. Deep gameplay and a wide variety of characters, victory conditions, and more, there’s a ton to dive into that’s all wrapped in a gorgeous package.

    If you enjoyed playing board games or card games when you were younger (or are still young), Armello will captivate you. The game is beautiful to look at, fun to play, and challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. Even if you’ve never played a game like this before, it’s enjoyable just learning to play and finally getting a satisfying victory.

    Armello is as close as we can get to a board game experience, and a great one at that. Its rules are quite deep and very well thought, providing a well-balanced mixture of luck and skill.

    Mixing a unique setting with classic strategic and board game elements, Armello is easy to recommend.

    Armello is unpredictable right to the last turn, making it fun to play both on your own and with friends. [Nov 2015, p.88]

    An interesting and beautiful, but also slow and repetitive board game. [12/2015, p.60]

    I admire what League of Geeks has attempted because I’m their target audience. But it’s deeply frustrating to peer down through this smear of bad decisions at a design I really want to play. This should be a great fifteen-minute adventure. It has the necessary components: smart interlocking gameplay systems, snappy pacing, adorable artwork and animation, a truly imaginative setting. But it’s not a fifteen minute adventure. It’s an hour-long interface nightmare. Armello, which would be a great boardgame, is a terrible videogame.

Очень жалею, что проигнорировал её в своё время. Рекомендации Steam предлагали её мне несколько лет, но вместо этого я скрыл игру. Наконец, познакомившись с ней спустя 5 лет, я смотрю, как она постепенно умирает. Постоянные баги с заполнением лобби и т.п. портят впечатления. Но все же, 100часов в игре за 2 месяца!

Yea, i would also want it to be a strategic game, i love strategies, but it was intended to be BOARD GAME. As far as i played, most of board game are based on throwing dice, and it's mostly how you play them.

It's pretty flat. So much is based on luck that there really isn't much strategy to be had. The sound design is pretty weak and the levels are all over the place.

The character artwork, the world and story videos are truly amazing and got me invested, but after a few hours trying to get deep into this gameplay, the fun just isn't there. You spend ages waiting around for other players to do their thing - which is fine if there's real strategies to plan - but when stuff does finally happen the outcome seems all too random and incoherent. Disappointed in what could have been a very compelling game. The music is great though.… Expand
