Good Turn Based Strategy for Android. Reminds me so much of the Panzer General series which I really enjoyed. The only real issue I have is the lack of online sync system between mobile devices which would really be nice to have since I use both phone and tablet, and use the former on the go and the latter when at home. Would need PC to transfer files between devices which is quite bothersome to do. overall solid game for a generous price tag.
This game is great. Not much else to say. No Micros and no performance issues. I've dumped about 100 hours in it this month. Its cool playing through the campaigns. There's a little bit of a learning curve, mastering how to use your different units effectively, when to attack and sometimes when to defend. So many scenarios you can also play. A great buy for the amount of content you get. 👌
Worth every penny. Reminds me of the times when I bought everything SSI used to put out on PC. Layers of detail, it's obvious how much effort went into this. I have one gripe, a few smaller mobile friendlier maps would be great. The larger maps take so long to do a turn that even playing a few turns on my phone becomes a huge battery drain. Otherwise it's a phenomenal game
Thank you! Finally a quality war game for Android. No dragons, no gold, no pay to play. Really, really good war game. I have been playing them since 1982, and this is a great product. And on top of that the developer is super engaged with his product. There may be as many as five updates in day! Just to support him I also bought the version over on Steam for my PC. You cannot go wrong here at this price point. Thanks to the developer for making a great product! I hope you keep working on this wonderful software for a long time.
