Kahuna Game Reviews

Atrociously buggy. Apx. half the games become frozen and unplayable. Kahuna is a great game but this product should not have been released. It's a waste of time in its present state. Will upgrade rating if they fix it. In the meantime, buy at your own risk.

Can't multiplay. While my wife and I are close, the app couldn't find us, and even we invite each other by imessage it didn't work.

Board is invisible. At end of game a scoreboard immediately covers up the entire play area without the option to view the final board. Why??????? One should be able to review the final board at leisure (hide/show the score one presented with it). As is, there's about one second available for this . . . .

Faithful Adaptation. Love the way the game plays, although sometimes it crashes (but picks up right where it crashed at). Annoying, but at least I don't lose any game progress. And yes, a "pass and play" option would be very nice.

great game but embarrasing bugs. it's a great game - but please fix the embarassing bugs: - often hangs at end of round - single player progress is lost if you minimize - (once in twenty games) it did not score the last round properly and I lost fix the bugs and it's 5 stars.

Multiplayer?. I haven’t beaten all the AI levels on three stars yet but I can’t seem to be able to play in two player mode. Do I need to beat all 12 AI on three stars first?

Very fun app. This app is great except for the constant freezing! The freezing always happens when playing AI at the very end of the game. It's super frustrating to be on the cusp of victory and the game freezes and you start all over!

If you want to throw your phone on the floor, get this game. Fun game, because the board game is fun. AI is unbelievable. There is only one setting: ridiculously hard. This game doesn't ease you into learning its mechanics at all. It teaches you the rules and then expects you to lose 50 times against the level one fisherman to learn everything else. Finally beat the fisherman, beat the surfer, went back to the fisherman, he destroys me completely. Where is the sense of progression? If this game wants to keep the player coming back, I should at least be able to beat the fisherman consistently if I can beat the surfer. As such, I don't think the game was designed that way. I think the single player campaign is secretly you playing against the same AI no matter the AI's "level". You got a good AI. But you have a terrible single player campaign.

Frustrating. Single player is frustrating, i am doubting the decks are randomly shuffled as the computer opponent seems to Always get the card they need. Buy only if you intend to play against another human

Kahuna !. Love the Game. Three thoughts-- First, a "pass and play" option for two players would be great. Second, sometimes when one player chooses to not pick a card the game lets the other player also not take a card. Third, it is not always possible to tell what cards have been played. For example, if two islands are full and a bridge between them is blown up, it does not show which two cards were played. Otherwise, this version of the game is excellent.

No local Multiplayer!!!. I can't even comprehend how there is no local multiplayer? Pass and play is the bots basic concept for a board game digital version. I bought this hoping to have something to play with my wife on the plane. We love this game and play the physical game all the time. We play Ticket to Ride as a pass and play when traveling and was really expecting this would be another great one for us. Unacceptable!

Please update this to 64 bit!. Please update this to 64 bit!

Minimally functional. Graphics are only passable, interface is both ugly, with blocky letters on brown squares, and inadequate. The difficulty is atrocious, set WAY too hard for beginners on early levels, with no real tutorial. Finally, the game crashes, frequently, and can't be minimized. All in all, a disrespectful treatment.

Two player won't work. Some issue with Game Center and Kahuna prevents two player from working. Please fix.

Great game, but one recommendation. Favorite game of all times. The only thing I wish you would potentially change is the ability to pass a turn. Seeing players who know they are beat passing turns indefinitely to avoid losing.

Great Game!. This is my favorite game right now. Lots of strategy required, some luck involved, really fun to play due to the often highly non-linear progression of play (a single critical move can have a huge impact on the overall balance of power). I wish there were an undo button to fix errant taps, but otherwise this is just like the (super fun) board game, and relatively quick to play.

Nice game w/challenging AI. Version 1.1 definitely helped out with the crashing that was common in the original release. It's a fun little game, one I've never had the pleasure to play in its original form. That said, the AI is quite challenging. The game definitely doesn't help you progress from a novice level to an advanced one...it's more like intermediate to highly difficult. The early AI opponents could be more forgiving. Still, I enjoy the app and I can honestly say I'm glad I bought it.

Cool spatial puzzle game—could use undo button. i don’t typically like area control games, but I’m really into this one and have played it around 20 times. I find myself drawn to playing it and feeling incredibly smart when I win. The game is well-designed, engaging, and plays fast. The app runs smoothly. I only wish you could undo your turns. If you think that would bother you, I’d recommend you play this on Yucata.de instead.

Fun game!! Needs better turn notifications. So, I must say how good this game is! Simple yet strategic and challenging. One pretty big issue desperately needing enhancement is the absence of game notifications for asynchronous online play. Game Center is used for this, which almost NOONE uses! So, games typically sit there idle for weeks because there is no badge icon or cue that it is your turn.

Two thumbs up!. This game was easy to learn and fun to play. I'm still trying to beat the AI on the higher levels but I am enjoying the challenge.

Close to perfect.. A really good implementation of the game with the only snags that keep it from being 5 stars for me is the lack any kind of undo button (a mistaken touch can mean doom) and a log to be able to review what the previous actions of your opponent were. Even with those couple nigglys I highly recommend the app for anyone interested in the game.

OK, but has some bugs. I'm a pretty good kahuna player and love the game so I was very excited when this app was released. The higher level AI gives a decent challenge, but lack of pass and play option is perplexing. Also, the game has gotten hung up between rounds quit often. This is VERY annoying. I have an Ipad 3 running latest iOS so I'm not sure how this problem would sail through testing unnoticed. Get this fixed and it's a fairly goo treatment of the game. Very intuitive interface and Iike the presentation.

Very original strategy game. Enjoyed my first few games. Definitely challenging. I'm sure the few original bugs will be fixed soon. Another brilliant ipad game, after Wars of Roses.

Great but needs a fix. I would like single player games to save when you back out of the app, besides that its perfect 😁

Great game, simple to learn. Elegant in it’s scoring mechanism, deep strategy. Fun to play but I’ve never gotten to play a real human. For most, the AI is hard to beat, but over time you will overcome all of them. Dropping a star as 2 player is broken. I suggest adding a Ladder, seed the Ladder order with the present Elo rated players. Challenge anyone within 200 places of you and if you win, you move up 1/2 the distance between you two. If your opponent does not answer the challenge with 3 days, you move up the ladder 1/2 distance, and your opponent moves down 1 place, the same if you win by playing out a game for the Ladder. If the higher player wins, he/she moves up 1 place and the lower ranked player moves down 1 place. Also, Your rating also changes with a Ladder challenge according to Elo difference as it does presently.

It's good. It's a solid implementation of a light, fun board game. The UI has some rough edges but overall it's good.

LOVE IT!! But has issues. This is my favorite board game so I was excited to find out there was an app!! I love playing it but it only gives me single player. The 2 player mode and rank button are not highlighted for me to click on. I’d love to play others! If I could play someone other than the computer I’d give it 5 stars

Dutch or German. OK, I downloaded this game today, sitting in the middle of the gd USA and it is in some foreign language. Dutch or German is my best guess. I can see no way to switch it to English. When I tap to open it in the App Store, it again opens in Dutch or German. Luckily I bought it on sale for 99 cents.

PERFECT PORT OF A GREAT GAME!. Perfect blend of luck and strategy in a 2-player game. In fact, it’s my current favorite real-world board game now when traveling with my wife. This digital version is an exact port of the game, and makes for fun while on the run!

Two player doesn’t work. Two player doesn’t work, the button is grayed out. I’d attach a screenshot but I can’t in this review.

Love it. Have the original board game and enjoy this implementation. Worthy computer opponent.

Fix the bugs!. Sick of the game crashing when I'm about to win the 3rd round. Wouldn't be as bad if the game was saved. Add ability to save as well. Easily 5 stars if these things get fixed. Super addictive.

Fun strategy game from the past. Simple rules but engaging. Nice presentation and atmosphere. Solid.

Kahuna is my favorite game ever. It is a fun strategy game and 1 or 2 people can play it ! It is definitely worth $2.99 !

Fun but need improvements. It took me 4 rounds to figure out the rule and beat the fisherman, yet once u know the rule the AI becomes so ridiculous and dumb! Way too easy! Chiefs are fine though. However the game keeps crashing when I'm about to win! Umm avoid lose uh? Anyway, u need to modify its eval function to make it better. Provide HARDER levels! Plz! Also Plz fix multi player problems as mentioned by others.

Very enjoyable. Well implemented. As a relatively short but meaty game, Kahuna hits the mark. Rules are simple and AI taxing enough for several hour campaign. Undo button should be included in future, please.

Love the game and the app. I agree an undo button would be nice, but that’s life.

Update is awesome. All my bugs were fixed :) I love this game....

Great adaptation. I've been playing this game for awhile. It's good fun and worth the money. Haven't encountered any bugs. An undo button would be a good enhancement.

Crashes a lot. During scoring rounds the game crashes out or becomes non-responsive. This happens about 10% of the time.

Online invites. Online friend invite is delayed - app notifies you by badge icon but then nothing appears in ‘two player’ menu for some days. Very frustrating.

Good ios board game - please fix current crash bug. Can't get to round 2 in single player, game crashes.

very good. Really enjoyed this strategy game

Good strategic game. 5 stars after the bugs are fixed. Multiplayer works well.

Multiplayer mode doesn’t work. I like the game but I’m not able to play online. It’s showing an error message that I have to try more late.

Can't play with a friend. I tried to invite my friend for a game. After 20 minutes of trying, it never worked

Single Player Mode Very Short. There is 12 levels in a campaign style order. I managed to get through all of them within a couple days and that’s it. It’s a fun game but due to the very limited levels it makes it a bit repetitive. Too bad, there’s lots of potential here. Haven’t noticed any glitches and would overall recommend it.

Great 2 player board game. I like this game.

Kahuna - Modern Classic Board Game!!. Great port of the physical board game over to iOS. Purchased the physical copy myself to play at home with the family. Creative and beautiful game!

Belle adaptation. J’aimais bien le jeu de table pour deux joueurs Kahuna et cette adaptation est aussi très plaisante! On peut y jouer contre différents adversaires intégrés dont l’intelligence artificielle varie. Le jeu est beau, simple à apprendre et facile à utiliser. Je le recommande!

Trop facile. Le jeu est vraiment intéressant et la plateforme est facile à utiliser. Toutefois, pour un joueur d’expérience, le mode solo est beaucoup trop facile. Il faudrait ajouter des niveaux de difficulté.

Excellent jeu . Design élégant. Merci

Love the Game, Hate the AI. Maybe I'm REALLY bad at this game, I have only played the physical board game once. But I am lucky if I get 1 point. The AI comes on like crazy at the end and there seems to be nothing I can do. The only character I can play against is level 15.... I've never beat him, so I don't really know what that means.... Again, this may be a problem with my strategy over a flaw with the game. But it's feeling a little impossible. Is there anyone out there that's actually won?

Glitchy and with a poor user interface.. The online async multiplayer sounds like a good idea, but 60% of my games (3 out of 5) have glitched out preventing us from completing them. The other 2 are not even into round 2 yet so I have low expectations of them being able to survive as well. The single player isn't as bad, but it isn't persistent so if you leave the app to check email, respond to a phonecall or any other reason your progress on a single player level is lost. Stay away from this app until some major updates and improvements are done.
