## Review summary

Legends of the Dark is praised for automating complex game systems and its strong visual/audio immersion, including line-of-sight and terrain features. However, users repeatedly report stability and save issues, occasional spawn-visual bugs, and readability problems on mobile, plus data-loss risks with updates. Overall it shines when it runs reliably but needs fixes to address saves, crashes, and UI readability.

### Pros

- Automates core game mechanics (combat/damage, monster AI, crafting, treasures, upgrades), reducing manual bookkeeping and keeping play smooth.
- Line of sight, monster/hero positioning, and terrain interaction with detailed 3D terrain and minis create a strong immersive experience.
- Immersive audio elements (story, music, and voice acting) enhance the board-game feel.

### Cons

- Frequent freezes, glitches, and unreliable saves, with progress sometimes lost or not saved after sessions or updates.
- Monster spawn visuals can fail to display where they appear, causing confusion in some scenarios.
- Font size on phones is too small and cannot be increased, impacting readability.
- Asset/update related crashes or data loss (e.g., needing reinstall or losing progress).
