About this app
In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.
At the heart of Ark Nova are 255 cards featuring animals, specialists, unique enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a particular ability. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and to collect conservation points. Each player has a set of action cards, which you will use and upgrade to carry out your plans.
Each player has a set of five action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. The cards are:
BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions.
ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.
CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards).
ASSOCIATION: Allows your association workers to carry out different tasks.
SPONSORS: Allows you to play a sponsor card in your zoo or to raise money.
With high replayability and rich components, Ark Nova provides a remarkable gaming experience that will bring the game to the table again and again.
User Reviews
Granted this is my absolute favorite board game, but that could have predisposed me to loving this app or hating the changes required for making it playable online. They did a FABULOUS job and I LOVE it!!! It's true to the board game, allows for playing against bots, pass and play, and even asynchronous where the opponent plays on their platform on their schedule and you're notified when it's your turn. The cards are the same as the physical game so it's an easy transition.
The phone layout is frustrating to play with. the other player action cards don't change to pink when upgraded(happens on tablet). Most the screen gets blocked when discarding after the card draw action, this makes it hard to decide which of your new cards are worth keeping since I can't evaluate what my board looks like, and which conservation projects are still available.
This works so well on mobile and on tablet. The interface is smooth, but the tutorial is awful. No really. I went into the digital game having played the board game, once, and I mostly struggled with the interface. My human partner almost rage quit twice because the tutorial taught her nothing. And I did the tutorial too and yeah, it's bad. we play often now. You can mix AI with human players too in MP. It's great fun. YouTube a play through on the board game to get the nuisance of the cards.
For gameplay related critiques I'd, recommend checking out reviews of the actual board game. As for the port, it seems to be well made. The tutorial covers the most important aspects of the game (there's also an in game rulebook) and the Ai opponents seem fairly competent. My only criticism would be the presence of some UI related bugs. Nothing game breaking, but it does take away some of the games polish. If the play store let me, I'd give it a 4.5/5, but since it doesn't, 4 it is
