This game has a nice 8-bit design - and is similar to many other tiny war games.
It’s strength is a pretty fun unlocking system - unfortunate in that some characters require multiplayer).
It’s weaknesses are
- a truly terrible AI
- a lack of variety in characters, eg no long range mortar (with suitable power up delay), no invisibility, no mines, unlimited ammo issues, and many others.
I am keeping this game hoping for an update.
Nice theory but doesn’t work at all yet
Bought this game since I love this developer’s other game (Card crusade, great!), but unfortunately I’ve been very disappointed.
The theory is nice but the game just doesn’t work; it glitches when playing against AI so the opponent just doesn’t take its turn, and won’t let me play online at all. I’ve requested a refund because this simply isn’t worth any money yet
Strategic fun
Simple to learn yet hard to master, It’s rare to find a game like this which isn’t riddled with iAP so having a pay once play whenever experience is like a breath of fresh air.
It can be played in portrait and landscape, there is pass and play, play against the AI and obviously play against others for trophies.
The basic game against others is you take your turn and await your opponents turn, a bit like sending a message. Unlike a lot of games with this playing style though, with this being a paid game it’s rare games will time out and you’re getting more constant games.
There are three different factions to choose from and each has their own unique characters, with a few locked which can be unlocked through playing and getting achievements which gives a little more challenge to some games. I will note as well, whilst these characters aren’t necessarily more powerful than the already unlocked characters, you can create new tactics for different maps and different play styles.
The community on discord seems really friendly and the devs are active there, already setting up tournaments which I can’t wait to compete in!
Definitely worth a play if you’re into uniwar, warbits, xcom etc.
I think this game will be on my phone for a long looong time and I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows.
Don’t buy this cheap c$&p
This game is a joke. Poor quality graphics, the way the controls feel is pretty bad too. They could of put a bit more of an effort if they planned on charging people money for this. The fact that I paid more than $2 is disappointing. To be honest i wouldn’t pay anything knowing how bad this game is.
Great Tactics game!
I love this game. Takes me back to FFTs and Disgaea, but I like that it is based on classes like starcraft and that it is game to game rather than a level-up system. Something new and fun. Their game Card Crusade is also great.
Great game and super cool dev
Just got this game, and I’m having a ton of fun with it! It’s a super enjoyable strategy game with tons of different loadout varieties. Not only that, the dev of the game is a super cool and nice person. Amazing.
Is good.
Who is Barnard? Nobody knows.

Top Tier strategy gaming
Hands done the best Async PvP strategy game on mobile. If chess is your thing and you want something different, this is it, hands down. Additionally the Dev is one of the nicest and open minded I have ever met in my life. This game will take off mark my word, get ahead of the curve
