    Love it!!
    I bought the one for Jaws of the Lion and I am so glad I did! The production value is off the charts and really takes the game to the next level. This is a no brainer for any game it supports. Show more

    Pay Wall
    I already payed for my board game. It is a real punch in the teeth to be told that there are downloadable audio tracks to enhance my game experience, only to find out that I have to pay extra to enjoy this add on. I'm just going to download them from google chrome and enjoy them for free without this app. Show more

    Overall good but with caveats
    We have really enjoyed most of the voice acting and it’s added to the depth our gloomhaven experience. We found two voices to be really subpar. First, the voicing of the drake left a lot to be desired. It lacked depth and felt silly rather than cunning or vicious. Hail is the worst. She isn’t crafty or fierce and the voice actor can’t seem to settle on a vaguely British accent or her American accent, which I’m guessing is her norm. It really makes it hard to suspend disbelief. We won’t even use the app if she is speaking because it’s so terrible. That all being said, the app is well worth the money. We can’t wait to see future content from them. Help support them and add to your experience by buying this app. Show more

    No airplay/speaker support?
    How does this app not work with external speakers? I can only hear the audio from the phone directly?

    Circumventing App Store polices - 3rd party payment
    You have to pay outside of the AppStore for in ap purchase. Could not use my App Store credit, very disappointed because the test audio sounds amazing.

    Please allow audio out
    Great app and love the audio. But it is so good and no way for me to play on my AirPlay and Bluetooth connected speakers. Just think how good this narration would sound I’m surround sound with bass! Show more

    Good voice acting, mediocre app.
    An excellent concept with flawed execution. - I can't download the audio to play offline. - I can't even navigate away from the app to check my email while listening; the playback STOPS? - Swiping left and right doesn't work like it does on every other iOS app. Why? In 2020? Show more

    Hits and misses
    I’ve enjoyed this addition to our family’s Gloom-iverse, but we’ve encountered several situations where the audio is unable to play during portions of specific scenarios. The door triggers in the Warehouse and the Temple of the Seer scenarios refused to play, which was kind of a bummer (compounded by the fact that the Stone Golems guarding the door were less than welcoming). Since this is the thing the app is supposed to do, and since it only works about 75% of the time, my satisfaction could certainly stand to be increased. Show more

    Overall pretty good
    The quality of the voice work is quite good and provides for an immersive experience into the games. This works great in a pre-COVID world. I bought the app and additional content as a supplement to playing Gloomhaven and Jaws of the Lion over Tabletop Simulator with friends remotely. Initially, Guild Mode was available to allow multiple people to listen simultaneously and remotely and it worked great. Guild Mode was removed after a short run and it seems to be a very low priority for the developers. While Guild Mode is awesome feature and makes the app and purchases worthwhile, maybe it makes the app less profitable for them... Show more

    Really well done
    This app is cool. Not necessary but if your playing solo I think it improves the experience. My only complaint is that for the price, I wish they included ambient tracks to play on repeat during the round. It would be cool to have matching fight music in between the two minutes of dialogue. They clearly already have the ambient music that they use in the recordings. Maybe they could throw them up in YouTube or include them here. More a suggestion than a complaint. Show more

    Awesome
    Love the app. Really sets the mood for the games.

    Purchases aren’t working
    I’ve tried on both my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and my 2020 iPad Pro. I’ve been charged for the purchase but cannot access it anywhere. The most help I’ve received is just “Reinstall the app”. Not worth. Show more

    No, these are not dramatizations
    They are introductions to each section of the game. Is not a continuous radio drama. I was annoyed at first at the limitations in the app (not able to play with screen off, or out of the app, no native airplay support, must set it from control center). But once I figure it out I really enjoy it. The quality is as anything gloomhaven. Just awesome. Show more

    Excellent
    The audio is excellent and extremely professional. Full cast with sound effects, atmosphere, and backing music. We purchased Gloomhaven.

    Good supplement with some issues
    Definitely adds immersion and removes some downtime as setup can happen during narration. The interface is a bit clunky, swipe left to save but the playback speed seems the same wether or not you use this feature. I suppose it’s meant for offline play, why not an option to download the entire thing at once? Playback controls are fine but why no AirPlay button? Seems like a glaring omission since I’m guessing people using this at home would like the full audio experience. There should be an option for an ambient track/timer. For a smoother flow, start playing the intro, move to ambient track, stop ambient track and proceed to next narrative. The purchase system is pretty sketchy, I’m surprised Apple allows this in the App Store without in app purchases. As it stands, you must create an account and purchase the content from the website of the developer directly. There’s no instructions on how to do this but it’s incredibly easy to figure out. I’d prefer it following App Store guidelines for in app purchases though. All in all it’s good, almost great, with a few outstanding issues. Show more

    Great add to the game!
    Narration and sound effects add a lot to the game - I especially like having ‘trigger’ effects in addition to the introduction and conclusion for each scenario. Well worth the $15 Show more
  • Gingererer, 19.08.2020
    Love it!
    I’m loving the voice acting, sound effects and the mood music for Gloomhaven. I see that Jaws of the Lion is available, and Frosthaven is coming. Are there plans to add Forgotten Circles, the Gloomhaven expansion? Show more

    Very Cool
    They nailed it. I was waiting for something like this. The only awkward part we ran into playing gloomhaven was “who is gonna read the scenarios?” Nobody wanted to do it. Now nobody has too! Great Job Show more
