Ark Nova

So happy to see one of the greatest board games come to steam. I enjoy the BGA version but sometimes you just don't feel like PVP. This is a little more cozy and you can take your time. I find the AI to be decent (not the same as PVP). Primarily, its great for a casual game and perfect for learning Ark Nova.

Excellent adaption of the board game, which is itself an excellent time expenditure!

Makes this game much quicker with friends and makes it a lot easier!

I really like Ark Nova as a board game and this is a great implementation of it. I have been enjoying playing the challenges, which add an extra element to the game which goes beyond the physical game. The AI opponents are actually pretty competitive. The interface is intuitive to use and the graphics and animations are good as well. So far I did experience 1 glitch where the game crashed and when it loaded back in I lost 10 money and when I tried to go out and back in again I lost an additional 10 money (leaving me at -6 money). I am also curious if this is as intended but the challenge mode has the AI opponents starting with bonus cards, but the player starts with no bonus cards. It certainly makes it even more challenging, but seems odd that this is the way without any note (as far as I can see) about that being part of challenge mode. All in all, I really enjoy Dire Wolf's implementation of this great board game.

An excellent board game! Played it physically once and got hooked, and now I can play it as much as I want:)

Solid implementation of the game. I'm not an expert enough player and haven't played enough to say if I think the AI is really good or not. It's definitely been an appropriate challenge for me.

Thanks to this release I was able to try this great game and learn how to play it. UI is good, tutorial is fine, AI is good too, at least for me now. One thing missing is ukrainian localization

Fantastic PC adaptation of this awesome boardgame. Love the graphics, sounds, layout. A perfect design. The only downside is I can't wait for DLC expansion (extra maps, marine animals).

An amazing adaptation of one of the best board games ever made. I have tried to play the tabletop after this and this just reigns supreme. No more long setup and table space hog. It does lack the expansion, but the trade off in not having to keep track of so many things is worth the trade off.

The Interface is intuitive and easy to use. I have been playing against AI opponents mostly and they are challenging enough. I've played this game live maybe 3 times and I tend to have Analysis Paralysis (though I am getting better at the game) so playing the Challenges in local mode against AI opponents has been pretty fun, they are also pretty interesting challenges. It's a great game. A little more "take that" in some moments but it's still very fun.

Great representation of a terrific game! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes to play board games!

Great implementation of a great board game. One of my favorites.

it's just hard to know what icons mean, what I am supposed to do with them even after tutorial. If you are new to this game, haven't been exposed to physical version, or not willing to learn from youtube video, probably this isn't for you.

This is my favorite board game of all time I've played it over 100x's and have logged over 100hrs on the app. I love everything about this digital edition except for the challenge entitled "Tight Schedule" on hard difficulty. Not only does it break what is so fun about the game, but it is nearly impossible to beat without some incredible luck. Ive poured dozens of hours into it and have yet to beat it. And, whats more is that that particular challenge isnt even fun.). Anyway, hope they release the Marine Worlds expansion for it sometime soon:) Some gameplay options to fix/ improve "Tight Schedule Challenge" 1. Give the player a starting pool of x-tokens 2. Reduce bots to medium difficulty 3. Allow player to have end game objective cards. 4. Allow players to start the game with the card that gives them an extra worker in hand (or in play) 5. Reduce the number of bot players (that will at least cut down on the tremendous downtime between turns)

great game.
