Greetings, Andori! Three previously unknown, frosty legends await you and your new hero in the "Heart of Ice" expansion. Have you defeated the "Eternal Frost"? Then find out now how the story of Andor continues afterwards.

Of course, the game has been further optimized and improved so that you can fully concentrate on your adventures in Andor.

Based on the acclaimed board game, Legends of Andor takes you on an epic journey to defend a kingdom. Choose your hero—Warrior, Sorceress, Dwarf, or Archer—and complete challenging quests. Every move counts as you manage your time and resources to defeat monsters and protect the castle. The game features a deep narrative campaign and a unique 'legend' system where the story unfolds as you play.

Our Expert Score

88/100

Legends of Andor is a phenomenal adaptation of the award-winning fantasy board game. It manages to condense the epic feel of a tabletop RPG into a focused, level-based experience. The game is essentially a 'puzzle-RPG'; because the game ends after a certain number of turns (the 'narrative track'), every single movement and attack must be calculated to maximize efficiency.

The storytelling is integrated beautifully into the gameplay. As you defend the land of Andor, the narrative evolves based on your progress, making it feel like a living adventure. The digital version handles all the complex bookkeeping of the board game, allowing you to focus entirely on the strategy and the wonderful fantasy atmosphere. It’s a challenging, rewarding experience that respects the player's intelligence.

Managing the Narrator

Defeating enemies moves the 'Narrator' track forward, which brings the game closer to an end. Only fight the monsters that are a direct threat to the castle.

Hero Specialization

Use the Archer to attack from a distance and the Warrior to tank hits. Coordinating hero special abilities is the only way to beat the harder legends.

Faithful board game - crash free

Sun Feb 10 2019 biscuit302

My initial review rightfully blasted the game publishers for releasing a buggy game that crashed relentlessly. Happily, all issues seem to be resolved. So, let’s talk about the game itself. Simply stated, it’s a fun game. The graphics are simple and clean, yet effective. The music and sound effects are appropriate and, although repetitive, they never annoy. More importantly, the gameplay is solid as it utilizes both familiar mechanics and original ones. The challenge, as a whole, is fair as it steadily inclines as the game progresses. My one complaint, and depending on the player this could be significant, is that the game is less of a role playing board game and is more of a puzzle/strategy game. And, unfortunately, it depends a bit too much on a trial and error mechanic. Worth the five bucks.

Excellent game - plays just like the board game... but with more content!

Andor as a board game was... well, different... to wrap my head around, and the app version plays exactly like the physical game. It isn’t a hack-and-slash, attack everything kind of game - you have to carefully consider when to attack enemies and when to let them attack your castle (or similar... based on scenario). Also, even though you’re always tempted to “divide an conquer” the multiple quest objectives, your characters have to stick together whenever possible (at least in pairs) if you want any chance of beating enemies stronger than the basic Gor (and even a Gor has the ability to beat a single hero... so teaming up on them is often a good idea too). The digital version of the game is - of course - beautiful. And I really like the additional maps and scenarios (at least “additional” to the base physical game I purchased years ago). Only real complaint... sometimes the lack of an undo button is frustrating when I click something by accident... but that’s a minor complaint for such an enjoyable game.

Great game

I love this game. I own the table top version and was excited to see it available for iOS. This app version was easy for me to learn and I was playing right away. I'm not sure how complicated it would feel for a new player. For example not every rule is explained in the tutorial or first campaign. However things the game is designed to start off relatively easy and ramp up from there. If you like strategic board games, this is for you. Expect a little up front rule learning. So far the story line it's exactly like I remember from the physical game. You can adjust difficulty level though in case you have played before. I haven't played enough to know if the iOS version has the same randomness built in to the ai as the physical board game (for example placement of certain things on the board based on dice rolls). This randomness is what gives the game replayability. So far I'm really happy with this version. Recommended!

Fixed. Latest update has resolved crashing issue

Current state is unplayable which is unfortunate since this seems excellent otherwise. I really hope a patch is in the works since this is a frequent and common complaint in the review section. I restarted my iPad as suggested in other responses but that did not remedy the issue. I tried to start the game over 10 times but crashed exactly at the same spot (tutorial start after choosing hero). Please fix Dev team! Edit. Great job dev team. Fast and responsive. Issues resolved. Great game and app. Download if a tabletop fan and support a committed and engaged team.

Avoid this game

Super addicting = bad for your life. Fun to play but I wish I could fast forward some animation and that there were better descriptions for the items and the wolf guy. I have to learn from trial and error so I end up tired of suffering through the whole adventure. I wish I could restart at certain levels within an adventure instead of the whole thing. Ugh. The mines. Update: Playing the King’s Retinue. I am pretty sure my dwarf girl left 4 coins on space 4 after defeating a Skral. I closed the game and came back and the coins are gone. It’s not in anyone’s pockets. The dwarf girl must have an off-shore account.

No crashes with iPad Air 2

This is a fun, challenging game. I’d not heard of the game before but thought it looked interesting. This digital version is very well done and has high production values. My only complaint - and it is a minor one - is that you are supposed to be able to tap and hold on most things to get more info. You can on a few, but there a lot of things and times when you cannot. For example, tapping on hero’s often does show details. Tapping on tokens revealed in the fog by the spyglass does not show anything either. It’s not a big deal, but makes learning the game a bit harder.

Why does this game not follow the rules of the board game?

Mon Apr 19 2021 jake_the_snake

So, there’s lots to like about the game. The graphics and game play seem to work well, after a bit of figuring out time. What I don’t understand is why this game deviates from the rules of the actual board game. What I mean is, in the board game (if I’m understanding THAT correctly) you only progress up the letters once all the heroes have finished a full day (by clicking the rooster button). Here, it seems that it progresses much more quickly. Why change that?! What was wrong with the original game rules?

Good finish after a bumpy start

I'm writing this review to spread the word that the developers of this online game have worked hard to deliver a good app to their customers. There were some problems when I first purchased the game. After I sent a description of my tablet and the nature of the problem, the development team fixed the app within a couple of days. The game runs smoothly and is very enjoyable. I now highly recommend this app to all. I consider this to be excellent customer service. Thank you team.
