Pros and cons of Le Havre: The Inland Port app for iPhone and iPad
Le Havre: The Inland Port app good for
The game is a lot of fun, but save yourself some hassle and just find the instructions online. The in-game tutorial tells you about the mechanics of the game, but does nothing to explain the point of the game, or why you would take certain actions.
The game is high polished, colorful, audio-rich, simple and fun user interface, and...FUN!! Very impressed! And online multiplayer is asynchronous, so you can take turns at your convenience!
Some bad moments
Very well designed and executed game. Havent hit any issues yet. Started with the tutorial and it explains the rules and game play. At the end of tutorial theres a practice game. I played a few rounds and getting a good feel for it. So far Ive only played solo. Theres 2 online play: casual and rank play. Tried to login but no one around to play online yet since this game just came out! I would highly recommend!
This is a refreshing and elegant implementation of the original game. Beautiful graphics, intuitive interface, and brimming with features. The only notable suggestion I have is for an undo button. Money well spent.
I really like this game and overall it is a very nice port. But there are some quibbles that keep me from giving it a perfect score.
The biggest issue is that there is no "undo". Theres absolutely no reason why there cant be an undo before you end your turn. Sometimes you make a mistake and overpay or accidentally sell a building when trying to scroll (another issue in and of itself—scrolling to see all the building is difficult to do without dragging buildings around). Regardless, undo would be really helpful.
Another problem is notifications. Im not getting any and neither is the person Im trying to play. That makes async games tricky.
There is also no way to save games against the AI. Leave the screen and your progress is lost. This also seems like a big oversight.
Finally, theres a bug in the sound where sometimes even if you have music disabled, it comes back on and you have to enable and disable it again.
I would love to see stats included for casual games. They can be separate from the ELO system, but would still be useful. I will play most of my games against friends.
Address these issues and you have a 5 star app.
An absolutely perfect port. I love this game. Plays wonderfully. Great tutorial. Another great Rosenberg game on iOS. How about Caverna now! And while youre at it, Agricola All Creatures Big and Small!
If you like Agricola, Le Havre, then Inland port is a must have. Faithful port of the board game, and a good UI, the only thing that’s missing is an expert level AI. If you are new to the game, or want to practice before playing someone, this app is a great experience.
Notification addition was good but other fixes havent solved my crashing issues. Have yet to play a full game and my friend and I have tried 3-4 times already.
