User Reviews

Overall, ScytheKick is highly praised for making Automa play and endgame scoring easier, especially for solo play and multi-Automa setups. Users love the move guidance, the Automa helper upgrade, and features like neoprene mat support. However, several recurring downsides include the cost of unlocking core features, a weak onboarding experience lacking help resources, no undo for discarded cards, occasional map/update/interface issues, and confusion when managing multiple Automata due to unclear indicators. Despite these, it remains a valued companion for Scythe fans.

Pros

Makes playing Automa much easier; solo or multi-Automa games become smoother thanks to the move guidance.
Move helper and Automa helper upgrade reduce tedious calculations and speed up turns.
Strong endgame scoring calculator; easy tally and adapts to expansions/multiple Automa scenarios.
Neoprene mat support added; aligns nicely with physical components of Scythe.
Generally well-designed and very useful for Scythe fans; a reliable companion for solo play.

Cons

In-app purchases are required to unlock core functionality, which many users feel is expensive.
Onboarding is weak: no built-in help section or straightforward instruction button; learning curve.
No undo option for discarded cards; risks of mistakes and frustration.
Occasional map/update/interface issues, including changes from updates (e.g., removal of a complimentary calculator) and compatibility concerns.
Difficulty distinguishing which Automa you are controlling in multi-Automa games; need clearer visual indicators.

Recent reviews

I was anticipating a more intuitive app. On my first move I couldn’t add a second worker to a village. Plus there is no help section at all. I understand it doesn’t replace the board but it should allow for more options. Disappointed in the overall performance.
