Rento Fortune - Multiplayer Board Game

Can be a much better game
I think the game is nice. But mostly becuase it's the best monopoly like game around that you can play online. Not because the game is great.

The boards you can play on are very cliche and uninspired. They look identical, expect the halloween theme. There are countries missing. Of course you can't add every country, but Holland, Romania, Italy? Why not make a EU board and a world board for example. Add some themes!

Why some people have different pawns? There are no micro transactions advertised here and I was expecting to buy a whole game. Of course the price of the game is not much but still I would like to have a complete product.

To select a room you want to play in is frustrating since the order of the rooms change every few seconds.

The "DONE" button is not clear for many people, the wait a long time before they click it. Make it faster or animate it so people know they have to click it to end their turn.

Make a simple matchmaking system for a a standard game you can just sign in and play on a standard board with standard rules. For new players to get into the game directly and when you don't have special preferences. (Watch Hearthstone for example how smooth you can start a game).

Let us choose another country flag instead of the selected language.

Also trading screen can be improved.

Overall the interface, the amount of content can be much improved, it feels rushed and too simplistic, but the game itself is good. Hope you will improve this game or a next version.

Hello,

Every board is different. Some are graphically different. Some have functional differences (mixed cells, different arrangements, different functions such as the Russian Roulette).

Regarding the board countries - we may add different labeling (separate from the boards).
It will be separate menu in which you can choose the board naming. For example it can have EU naming, Chinese naming, World naming (current), Middle east naming, etc..

You can choose your pawn from the PAWNS menu. They are all unlocked. The game is whole!

Regarding the room order: we will add more room filters soon.

DONE button should be pressed when you finish your turn. If you play in "fast game" mode then no need to press the DONE button. It will auto end your turn (but you will have to trade, build, sell, etc in the beginning of your turn only).

There is simple matchmaking system - just login and press START GAME.
It is 2 players only but soon will make it for more.

I can assure you the game is not rushed. It has been improved for years. It will only get better and better.

Next version coming in few days!

Thank you for the reply.
Good to hear you keep improving the game. I will absolutely recommend it already, my critics was just to help to improve the game.

I would like a fast matchmaking mode with more then 2 players.
I found the PAWNS. If you are not on tablet it's hard to see the menu was able to move with the mouse. I thought I had only four.

Custom naming (and I hope eventually theming) will be another nice feature I look forward to.

With rushed I mean the interface and the boards. I think they can be made with a little more detail, graphic effects, better graphics etc etc

The gameplay is very stable I have to admit.

Thank you for the recommendation. The Steam version of the game is only a week old, so the improving is just starting. Many new cool features (apart from the discussed ones) are planned, so stay tuned.

Graphics will also get better in some later version.

Happy playing!
