## Subterfuge Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great game"
It's an awesome strategy game. Definitely recommend a download its comparable to War* the board game but more indepth. the only but* is that its a slow game, its Not clash royal where its a 360sec quickie. 1 match takes place over 5 days. I'll play a game every month er so. Awesome game,  give it a try.
-- Sdhbeyioqw, 2025-09-28

### *---- "Not worth 15$"
Came in expecting a strategy board game, and left after realizing its just a bunch of chatrooms with glorified idle-clicker gameplay. 

The technical side of the game is simple, and most of the impactful gameplay is interacting with other players.

The game is slow, so most players play multiple lobbies at once. The result is that people resign very early if their start isn’t optimal, and move onto the next lobby.

I had about 7 players disconnect in my first four rated matches for no apparent reason. Three of those games went to players who ate up the dc’ed ones, while the rest turtled up and play for 2nd or 3rd place.

Also apparently the leaderboard is full of players on multiple accounts and the dev doesn’t really care because they’re making another game.

Tldr: 
-Quality of games is poor without any matchmaking
-Optimal strategy is to fight other players as little as possible
-Game doesn’t receive any notable updates (you can check the update history yourself)

The 15$ (used to be $5) to unlock the full game is obviously not going towards developing this game.
-- ReAltair, 2025-04-02

### ***** "One of a Kind Game"
An awesome game with updates still happening 10+ years after release. Even though it’s old it’s still unparalleled in its niche genre. Nothing scratches my need for strategy and diplomacy quite like Subterfuge.
-- User11883475, 2025-03-15

### ***** "This game still rules"
5/5. Never played anything else like it.
-- Thisisdell, 2025-01-14

### *---- "Top worst"
One of the worst games. It looks like military recruitment IQ exam but just bizarre what’s going on here. Very boring. Pass on this one
-- Ppresnal, 2025-01-03

### ***** "Best. Game. Ever."
It’s the best game on iOS bar none, and it has been for years.
-- GodfatherofNBD, 2024-11-23

### ***** "OMG"
FIRST UPDATE IN SEVEN YEARS :0
-- ILoveSubterfuge, 2024-10-15

### ***** "Once you learn how to play this game, it will consume you…"
You won’t be able to sleep comfortably if you are in the midst of the game. You will always be scheduling subs during work, school, and late at night. You become more emotionally invested in your relationship with your allies than your closest friends. You will cry when you are betrayed, scream when you prevail and pray for good specialist hires in your most dire moments. You will anxiously await the sound of notifications alerting you of messages from other players. But most of all, this game will be the only thing you think about while your playing it, morning, day, and night, it will be at the forefront of your thoughts constantly. Play if you so please, but be warned of the vice-like grip this game has on a man’s soul, and enter cautiously.
-- r2drew12, 2024-08-05

### ***** "Brilliant underrated game"
It's sadly abandoned but it's well made no serious bugs if any
-- vachix, 2023-07-18

### ***-- "Won’t work"
Game keeps kicking me out the moment I open it, simple as that.
-- catcintrol, 2022-11-17
