Pretty fun, but need some bug fixes
Thu Dec 16 2021 StonNierPretty solid game! I’m glad to see that Gaia project was turned to an app. Solid artwork and fantastic AIs to play against.
Been playing for a week and noticed a terrible bug - and this is in the against-AI mode - sometimes undo button will make the game stuck (loading forever) and the only option is to restart the game and that means losing all progress. It is extremely frustrating - please please please fix it.
Enjoyable, but…
Fri Feb 10 2023 J Earl EllisI am enjoying playing the game, but if you aren’t already well aware of the game flow, it is probably going to be tough. Even after knowing the game, I spent a lot of time trying to find some information. Sometimes the help text won’t display, so if you forget an icon, you may need to look it up on the web or a physical rule book.
Generally, there is just too much information to keep track of and it all needs to be behind menus due to space constraints. I played it on steam and the info was easier to see. The iPad is just a little too small so it appears they needed to make some compromises… and my iPhone was virtually unplayable.
Also, I encountered a bug which required screenshots to properly explain. I tried to log the bug but got no response. I don’t know if the game log made it possible to see what I meant or not. But there was no feedback. So far, I have only noticed two bugs and those weren’t likely to be common.
Overall, good for people who already know the game and have the discipline to look at all the places they need to.
Better Left On The Table
Sun Feb 20 2022 Potterbot91This is the first review I have written but felt that it was important enough to say a something. Gaia is one of my favorite tabletop games so I was excited to be able to play it on mobile. Hands down I would rather play the game in person rather than in the version of mobile. It is a game that does not translate well. There are too many menus and sun menus(it felt like I had to search for everything that I needed access too). The inconography that attempts to simplify things makes the game more complex than it already is. This is the rare case in which if I could get my money back I absolutely would.
A Few Bugs But Otherwise Solid

Not optimized for phones
Sat Nov 27 2021 sirbeefmanFeels more like a beta test then a actual proper release. The words are super tiny, and all buttons are super tiny. Also there should be a quick check on how much income you are producing instead of having to find all income and calculating it ourselves. After playing the Board game arena version it’s hard to not complain. So many missing features. Hopefully some Future updates will fix the game and make me want to come back to it.
Tutorial is broken
Thu Nov 25 2021 Stoneman77It seems like not everything in the tutorial is displaying. I was able to follow the first part about the planets, but only because I know Terra Mystica, and it took too much thinking and trying to figure out what the screen might be telling me in relation to the words. Once it gets to power tokens and Area I, II, etc. - I don’t see anything related to what the tutorial is telling me.
In my mind, this is unplayable until that’s resolved.
My backside hurts!
Sat Dec 25 2021 C.F.C.!Perhaps I’m a dunce in this game, but the AI (playing only against the Cheater difficulty) opponents give me some pain! I love the challenge, and I won’t let it stop me from improving! It also seems this time the AI isn’t so “scripted” in how it plays.
Pax Christi!
Unplayable on iPad Air 2
Sun Nov 21 2021 DrTrilogyThe Apple Store stated “playable on this tablet”.
It wasn’t until after I started to play I looked again on the apple store. Min 3mb ram!? iPad Air is only 2. Why so much? The board is blank on my iPad and the game is unplayable.
I really hope the devs look into this and make or playable for older generations. I’ve bought other new board games recently and do not have this issue. This should not be an issue here.
Great app
Fri Dec 31 2021 CubatoHave played a dozen games versus the AIs with no issues. The difficulty of the AIs is scaled well. Very addicting and challenging game.
Buggy
Thu Dec 09 2021 Mehhhhhh567521136Game sometimes crashes when you undo a move. Ex: if you place a gaiaformer and the game asks if you are okay with removing power from bucket 3 if you say no it will crash
