Expedition Africa - The Game App Reviews

I realize that this is only a free game, but it really needs a lot of work. First, it is really slow and requires a lot of loading screens. Secondly, the die rolls are very slow and choppy - and their randomization needs work. I like the concept for the game, I think its a great idea, but it feels like there really wasnt any quality control for it. If I were producing the game I never would have released it like this. I hope they work on it more because the app store can really use a lot more board games like this.

Balanced, interesting and challenging are the first 3 words that come to mind when playing this game. Like other reviews have said it could be longer and I think maybe multiple destinations (split paths) or having several random Dilemmas that will appear at every checkpoint would be a nice touch. Since this game is made by the History Channel, is there a chance to see this game in different themes? For example, a western, during the great crusades, caveman and more. Thanks for the great game well planned game that is free.

An Oregon Trail like game using dice to determine movement, earnings, and pitfalls/dangers. I believe this game is/was a teaser for a larger game. You will notice that at the final location there are arrows pointing north and south. I hope the History channel releases a larger edition. Ad it stands this game is fun and quick. I recommend this game for all ages!

Needs new maps and some sort of endless mode

I have been playing this for two weeks and I am now addicted! It is an awesome game of strategy. I have only made it to the final destination once with 4,000 points. It is tough, but I love challenges! The outcome is dependent on how well you can manage your resources and how fast you can get weapons to fend off the crocodiles and other predators. The first thing I try to do is get as much food as I can. Then I carefully watch my porters...and next stockpile the weapons. It is loads of fun! I highly recommend it!

It is fun to play if you can get pass the bugs. Dice physics are horrible. Everytime I go 970 miles perfectly, the game nevers ends. It just states end of turn and to continue rolling. It is not until I have gone at least 10 miles over does the game end. Why have a pistol if it really is never used. I have yet to roll a leopard. Heres another simple issue that bugs me. The dice are 6 sided, but yet you can roll: 30, 20, 10, machette, pistol, rifle, mosquito, gator, skull & cross bones, and the missing leopard. Did I miss anything? Should have gone with maybe 10 sided dice. Ill review it again at an update.

Thanks for the decent time- killer. Wish there were multiple maps but prob wouldnt pay for them. 

Great game,love it.I dont if there is a paid version of it for the iPhone.you have to balance the porters be food.my best score so far is 5,539 in 71 days.!

You need both porters and food to survive. Food is scarce, but porters are plentiful and cosume food. The only way to win is to cull all the extra porters you have by deliberately killing them off by letting them get eaten by lions and alligators. Weird.

The concept of the game is awesome, and its fun, but it keeps crashing after just a few minutes

I think that they should add save point, more levels, challenges,and should be able 2 change difficulty. But besides that its a good app

Om frikin g i hate this retarted app!!!!!!! Good greif!!!! I just pushed the menu button cuz this app got retarted fast....and IT FROZE UP AND I SAT HER 4 LIKE 10 MINS WAITING FOR IT TO LIKE FRIKIN RESTART!! DO NOT BUY!

Get this game. It is so fun, it requires skill,thought, and a good hand. I play it all the time. Get it now, its one of the best apps out there except epic pet wars--ssbb lover/send friend codes

The online game is well done, but this iphone adaptation is flimsy. The graphics are embarrassingly bad and play is sloooooow. Fail.

I like the new update in general, but it seems to have even more bugs than the previous version. 1. Displays number of food crates during turn differently than after turn. For example, it said I had 6.5 crates after my turn was finished but every time it came to throwing dice, it said I had 3 until it finally decided that I was out of food... Hard to strategies when you dont know how much food you have. 2. Dice seem to get stuck on one picture even when you rethrow them. 3. When I reach a checkpoint without overshooting, it often skips the task (like options to find food or cross a swamp etc.) and instead continues to the next leg of the expedition. In general, this is a fun entertaining game, but too easy to beat with no rewards for winning or highscores (like additional levels or unlocking more good dice or adventures).

After playing the online game, this game is mediocre. Why cant you roll a panther? Why isnt the fever in both die?

Nice and addictive dice game. Love the sounds of the rolling dice which add to the game-play. Roll the dice to earn weapons, food, medicine, and porters. Lose points when your dice roll shows dangers (snakes, malaria, injured porters). Game plays almost like an amazonian Oregon Trail but with more control over your fate. Chose which dice you want to keep to earn a tactical advantage, lose when your gamble doesnt pay off. Fun!

This game is a lot of fun and it is free. When are you going to update it and add some other levels. You have done a very good job with this game and I would really like to see more updates like all the other app games. Please add some other levels soon....

very addictive little game, although after a few rounds it is a bore. It needs to have some other options or twists to the game... high score of 7110

Its free, its educational, its fun, and it doesnt work. Everytime I try to start this up, it crashes. Every single time. It simply doesnt work. If you can fix this buggy thing so that it doesnt consistently crash, Ill revise the rating.
