Strategery app good for
So far, but im missing the Change between Vertical and Horizontal on Ipad :(
Very nice interface. Great job.
Two improvement for a fifth star:
The possibility to setup the game with different dice (3,4,5 or 6 faces). (To change the level luck vs strategy).
The possibility of groups (allies) (ex: Blue, Green vs Orange, Red, Pink).
Ton of fun but in the bottum right corner it changes the even in gameplay and it annoying when I touch and it changes in the middle of a game
Awesome game, challenging and additive.
It has a bug where if you tap in the bottom right of the screen during a game it will load a new game. Very frustrating when you are trying to conquer a territory in the bottom-right of the map.
I recommend not buying until this bug is fixed. I am sure they will fix it soon, because everyone must be complaining about it.
Awsome but the there are two bugs:
1. Touching the right hand bottom corner can cause it to reset
2. It can randomly in the middle of your turn say that reinforcments need to be placed even though you dont press end turn, then you get stuck because it wont let you press the end turn button
Doing these will make it an easy five stars
Really is an exceptionally well-done game. It runs smoothly on older devices (e.g. - my original iPod Touch), yet still looks and feels amazing.
The gameplay is fun and addicting, and the learning curve is great (its embarrassing to lose on easy and normal, but Brutal is almost always a tough struggle). Pass-and-play multiplayer is great, yet P2P multiplayer would be even better (a feature request email to the developer received the response that implementation is still being discussed internally - READ: Probably not anytime soon). The game actually requires you to think (hint - dont over-expand, and always defend your borders. Preemptive strikes are good to weaken a threatening hexagon). Ive gotten a few hours of gameplay out of it, and the game is still as fun as it has always been. The addition of modifiers (Winner takes All, Land Grab, and variable troop placement options) will probably bring me back to the game (off and on) for months to come, especially if it is updated with P2P multiplayer)
While the game is, for the most part, bug-free, there are occasional glitches. These do not effect the ratings, however, because they are generally fixed within a week or so. The developers do not shy away from doing minor, maintenance releases as many others do. Great job on their part!
Some bad moments
I play Strategery several times per day, its one of my most frequently used apps on my iPhone (I have over a hundred apps) along with Facebook and Safari. A really wonderful yet so simple game.
And now that updates comes and even though some nice features appear (like play the same game again), overall its a complete disaster as the game is uglier, harder to read and the interface is completely screwed up, you now have to dig three levels of configuration screens before reaching your game. Who had that brilliant idea ?!
Please, please, let us go back to the good old Strategery. I promise to give 5 stars if I have the option to revert to old look and feel.
An addictive which I have been playing for 3 years now. Recently however the Online Mode hardly ever works, 9 out of 10 times you receive an Error message "Connection failed" I guess the Business model of merely selling the App is not the right one to provide an ongoing server based service until eternity.
...I did the latest upgrade. Now like the last reviewer says when a country gets eliminated its turn will still come up. They need to fix this ASAP
Online games with friends do not work. The new game is sorted into "Completed" and then hops around, letting the game starter have multiple turns before the invited player. Bugged.
You signed me out and now dont recognize my username!! WTH? Your app is awful. Total crash
I was in the middle of five games and they deleted my user name!!
Guess how helpful customer service is. There IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! At least there is no link within the app.
Dont waste your time. Even if you like it, youll get accidentally removed from its system.
