Description

In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different Spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your Spirits work with the native Dahan to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.

Spirit Island includes:
• Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game
• Create custom games with up to 4 available spirits and play 5 full turns
• 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits
• 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders
• A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts
• Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge
• 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
• 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island
• 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders

Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer!

Features:
• Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses.
• 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island.
• 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop.
• 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.

When you are ready for more, choose the best option for your budget to unlock the full game, including cross-platform online multiplayer with friends and others from around the world.

Also, you may use Presence track abilities (e.g. Reclaim One) at any time during the Spirit Phase.

Same Great Game Minor Problems
Very polished and with just having recently added multiplayer to play with people online, I’m impressed. Have yet to run across a game breaking bug and the options are as endless as they are fun. The lack of a 5th star is simply do to the game not translating well to iPhone as opposed to IPad. They have come a long ways in this regard but, in specific, selecting which spirit you want to control while dual playing spirits single player is very cumbersome. Often times selecting the spirit board instead of passing growth or card choices back to the other spirit seems like an exercise in futility. In fact, when the selection does go about correctly on the first click I’m shocked. Other than that it’s a barrel of fun and replayability.
ZPr13st,
Presence Bug?
I am playing as Shadows Flicker Like Flame. I have 1 presence in a Sand Zone. I am trying to target the zone with Quicken the Earth’s Struggles which has a range of 0. The zone does not light up as targetable, but all other zones I have presence in do light up (as well as zones with Dahan) Very confused - possible bug? Also cannot use my inherent ability in that same sand zone. Starting to think the game doesn’t realize I actually have presence there in that zone.
pevensen,
Expensive and annoying
This game is at least twice as expensive as others. It takes 30 seconds for the opening menu to be completely labeled, so unless one memorizes the symbols and what they mean, one has to wait to use the game. Evidently others find this annoying because they have an FAQ about it: “The Main Menu is designed as part of the story of the game; the Island has always been there, before colonizers arrived to give their names to things. You can use the buttons on the main menu immediately, so as you attune yourself to the ways of the Island, you can jump right into the one you’re looking for. We also provide an accessibility option to disable all animations, including the main menu animation.” I’m sorry, but sitting through a lame 30 seconds animation everything you launch the app does not make your interface part of the story. It is just simply annoying.
mdnewswa,
Great digital adaptation
Spirit Island is easily my favorite co-op board game, and this is a great way to play solo without the setup and teardown and adds rule enforcement (digital versions are great to learn rule intricacies). Game plays very smoothly, and the UI is well designed. Even the base game prior to expansions has lots of variety and branch & claw and jagged earth will make that even better when released.

The purchase model is great as well - free is enough to get the feet wet and understand the game basics prior to buying the full game.

Late game with four spirits crowds the screen when lots of powers are played and could be nice to lay out the power card by spirit one at a time similar to the growth stage to make it easier to see the map, and multi-player would be a welcome addition.
Amnachaidh,
Great implementation of a complex game
The worst thing about Handleabra’s implementation of Spirit Island is it teaches you how you were paying the game wrong. For example, the Ocean spirit can’t push an invader into the sea during an event action. It’s not an easy game to learn on the phone, and reasonable on an iPad. That said, once you know the game you can play it dozens of times and still discover new tactics.

Spirit island is a game that has both incredible inherent and emergent complexity. It can be hard, at first, to understand what’s going on and what to do. Then, once you do, you can see incredible possibilities and interactions.

Great implementation of my favorite game of the past five years.
le sneany snek,
Bruh
Not complete trash, definitely not good at all. The fact that you can only use the 4 low complexity spirits is pretty bad. Also, 20$ only unlocks the full base game and promo 1, and Branch and Claw is another $10. Like bruh, that combined is as much as the actual branch and claw. $20 in of itself should unlock all expansions and promo packs for the game, including jagged earth(nowhere in sight). The gameplay is actually clunkier than the original, and the subscription is online only. Not worth buying anything for, just buy the main game. Not worth playing if you can bust out the real game. Just a poor attempt at Spirit Island, and hopefully someone else makes another attempt.
AlaskaDaveAK,
Finally, a true solo SI experience!
I have never played this board game but heard they were porting this into a solo digital app, so I got it as soon as I saw it pop up. Tutorial is fantastically smooth, and gives enough information at the right time so as to not overwhelm new players. I also like that they give some strategy reasoning in the tutorial as well. Sounds, UI and overall game flow is smooth and the gameplay is seriously fun. Thank you to the entire team for the work you all put into this!
Subterralien,
Game works great, if you have network access…
Purchased this game via the subscription thinking I could kind of try it before I buy it. The tutorial is great, and overall the gameplay is awesome. My only complaint (and it’s a big one) is that you apparently have to be connected to a network (cell or WiFi) in order to access the content that I paid for. So DO NOT get the subscription if you plan to play on a plane or anywhere without cell coverage/WiFi

Couldn’t even finish a game. I will likely cancel my subscription knowing this
mogo_mogo,
Bruh moment
You have to pay to play many mobile games. It’s a good practice that allows developers to focus on the quality of the game, instead of plastering ads everywhere.
Some games include free demos, where players can play the game a bit before playing. This is a great practice, as long as the developers tell the player beforehand that they’re playing a demo.
You know what isn’t great? Waiting until players have finished a lengthy tutorial, and are 10 minutes into their first game, to tell the player they’ve been playing a demo the whole time, and must pay money to continue.
That’s what Spirit Island does.
Don’t play Spirit Island.
Tranenturm,
3 bugs in 3 games. Poor testing
So by game three I’ve identified three bugs. The defend 3 special ability for Vital Strength of the earth doesn’t work. It let damage through creating blight and losing the spirit token. Yes it was a sacred site. The 3 shield was showing and the city plus explorer should have done 4 - 1 damage for 1 total. The event wasn’t relevant.

All Enveloping for Rampant green had a similar problem. A town plus explorer got through the two defense to trigger blight and token loss.

Also, when declining to use choke for Rampant green it proceeded to ignore the disease token which should have prevented the build.

It took me 20 minutes to find 3 bugs which make the affected spirits significantly weaker and essentially unplayable. I didn’t pay $20 to do your troubleshooting for you. I can’t imagine how many more bugs are waiting.

Just found another, an explorer plus city failed to build anything (should build a town) and no affects were active to prevent that (scenarios, events or powers)
