Description

"Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..." – President John F. Kennedy
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over!
CARD BASED EVENTS
The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world!
IMMERSIVE STRATEGY
Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.

Twilight Struggle Reviews

Sept 2020 removed swipe to move map

Hello. Just installed the Sept 2020 update. I am now unable to move map by swiping the screen. Could you please restore this feature? Thanks.

Can’t move around the screen since the update.

Since the update, I can’t move around the screen so some parts of the map are cut off. It seems to have messed up the resolution as well.

Great Game limited by massive stability issues

TheSouthernKnight on

Australia

Twilight struggle is a top ranked board game (per board game geek) and this implementation by Playdek appears to initially be well made. The trouble starts when trying to play the game as there are a number of game breaking issues such as it took 5 attempts to get through the tutorial due to the game getting stuck. It gets worse as trying to play a game results in crashing occurring at least once every turn. For this current version it is a 2/5, If the developers can update the stability and get rid of the crashes, this review will be updated.

Twilight Struggle and Playdek are a great marriage: see the developer's work with board game ports such as Agricola. That this app exists could fairly be considered a big deal. Learning the game on iOS is feasible given the adequate AI, but the true action lies in challenging friendly but serious gamers via async online.

Rubbish

App crashes when trying to play offline. Unable to play. Don't waste your money.

UNPLAYABLE BC CARDS MOVE WAYYYYYYYYY TOO SLOWLY

New bugs

DrDrew007 on

Great game but recently has started developing lots of bugs. I didn’t see these a year ago so not sure what happened but it is making the game nearly unplayable. Space race track is not always being progressed despite having successful die rolls. This is the biggest bug and really hinders the game. Game no longer allows you to take actions to advance the DEFCON track to Level 1, ending the game, when the AI opponent plays cards to allow you to do so (ex: USSR playing CIA with current DEFCON of 2). Multiple graphical issues are annoying but not imperative, such as numbers not being on the adding VP stars. AI in general is very subpar, proceeding with some terrible moves but yet always seeming to know your scoring card.

Won’t play again until fixed

The last cosmetic update was a disaster - what was previously an outstanding app is now full of distracting graphical mistakes. I am not starting any new games until the developer undoes the damage done by the update.
