## Twilight Struggle 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 in United States

### ****- "Solid Implementation of a Great Game"
Love the general mood the game imparts with its design and sound. Sometimes a little hard to easily look at the effects of previous events in the top corners of the screen, but overall pretty solid and fun.
-- Orpheus337, 2025-01-07

### ***** "Great for PVP gaming"
Fantastic PVP experience, especially for seeing the impact of most game moves before they are made final by confirming or rolling a coup or realignment. The single player AI is lousy and very simple to beat unless you set a heavy influence in favor of the AI.
-- Tonberry13, 2025-01-06

### *---- "UNPLAYABLE BECAUSE EVERYTHING MOVES TOO SLOWLY!"
PLEASE RELEASE UPDATE TO FIX THIS! 
And I’ll play it everyday and recommended it to everyone
-- Viola Davis is a Kangaroo, 2024-04-19

### *---- "If I could I would give it 0 stars"
Very unbalanced game with dice rolling. In my opinion no game can be a “strategy” game if you have to rely on dice. The app itself contradicts its own rules. People who enjoy this game are enjoy tedium and the color beige.
-- Talasker, 2024-04-05

### *---- "Solo is very poor"
Solo mode is a mess and multi player is full of rage quitters. Basically serves as an expensive tutorial for the board game. Not recommended.
-- ixnu, 2023-07-28

### ****- "Great game, too slow"
Can we make the computer much faster?
-- JohnnySquawkins, 2022-12-16

### ****- "bug"
it is too unstable，easy to return to desk
-- hdh3hdjdd, 2022-11-25

### **--- "New bugs"
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.
-- DrDrew007, 2022-08-08

### ***-- "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.
-- shiffdog, 2022-07-27

### ***** "Great game. Needs new update"
This is a fantastic game. However, the latest update seems to have caused more problems than it fixed. The victory point animation doesn’t work correctly, displaying the wrong or no value. The new black text on red and blue background to show what cards have been played is low contrast and harder to read than the previous white text. Would be awesome if you could add a highest and lowest rating achieved to users profiles.
