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

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.

2024-05-28	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.
