Review summary

Beasts of Balance is praised for its innovative combination of physical stacking and app integration, offering fun and engaging gameplay across ages with cooperative and competitive modes. Players appreciate the quality and durability of game pieces and the imaginative design. However, multiple reviews cite technical issues: the game's plinth often fails to register pieces consistently, the app experiences glitches including piece recognition problems and challenge loading failures, and customer support is perceived as unresponsive. Some gameplay features like battle mode controls are buggy. The physical game's high cost is also noted as a downside.

Pros

Unique and fun game concept combining physical stacking with an app, enjoyable for all ages including young children and adults.
Games offers both cooperative and competitive modes, making it versatile and engaging for families and friends.
High quality and durable game pieces that appeal to players, with attractive art style and imaginative design.
Great for quick play sessions as well as long strategic gameplay, suitable for skill-based and casual enjoyment.
Supports social play and interactive features like casting to TV and battling modes, enhancing player experience.

Cons

The plinth/scale frequently fails to recognize certain game pieces consistently, notably specific pieces like the 'x' or some crosses, causing frustration.
App glitches including failure to register placed pieces, challenges not loading, and crashes or freezes, reducing smooth gameplay.
Customer support is unresponsive or slow to address hardware or app issues, leading to dissatisfaction among users.
Issues with the 'hold button to use' function in battle mode and ineffective battle cards, making some game features less usable.
The high price point for the physical game is a downside for some users despite the free app.

2024-07-19	ma*****	Changed my rating. Plinth broke and paid big bucks to get a replacement but it didn't work either. Months without hearing back from customer support. I think the company is out of business.

2024-05-28	Ra*****	I was an early adopter of this game, and it was great. But then it broke, it took forever to get the replacement part, and when I did, it had a different problem. I've now been emailing and calling support for several months with no reply. It's really a shame, but there are big problems with this that support can't or won't help with.

2023-12-28	St*****	3rd best game I've played! It's very fun, and when you work out how to evolve them, its even better! The battles mode is fun, but you need atleast 1 other person, but it is still fun!

2022-12-21	Ia*****	Great app-mediated tabletop game. Box says 7+, but my 4-year-old loves it and has no trouble playing alone or with others. Has both coöperative and competitive modes. All pieces seem to be very durable and we've had zero connection issues.

2022-07-11	Am*****	We love it because it's so fun! I love that it takes a sacred view of the world, in creation from the stars, energy balance,and miracles. And it's riveting!

2022-02-24	Ri*****	Kids received this as a gift and have loved playing it since. Fun and interactive for all ages in my house from 4 to 14 (oldest loves the challenges). Especially fun to cast to my TV to be able to watch from the couch.

2021-12-31	Gu*****	Beasts of balance is a good game for quick skill rounds and great to take long periods of time to get a high score and max out the bestairy it's a great gift for people that like strategy and they like a challenge I have been playing for a month now and can't stop playing I would give it a 4.5 out 5 because some times the plinth won't let me scan the beast and eliments but other then that it's a 10 out of 10

2021-04-09	EJ*****	This is a great fun game, but for some reason pieces do not register in game. The piece that we see not register the most is the "x" piece. Fun game still with all the hiccups.
