Description

Are you tired of casual "real-time strategy" games where whoever has the most money wins? Do you wish you could play *a certain classic medieval RTS* on your mobile device?

A Few Minutes of Glory is a quick, text-based, yet still challenging distillation of THAT game, to satisfy your RTS craving on the go.

Wait, how could someone possibly make a text-based RTS? By focusing on strategy rather than tactics. You decide what resources to gather, what units to build, and when to attack; and the small details of battle are simulated automatically.

Create your own civilization with a unique army composition, and try to survive a campaign against 10 enemy civilizations. Every time you win a match, choose a new power to change the course of battle. No two civilizations will be the same!

Features:

-15 military units including swordsmen, horse archers, knights, catapults, and monks
-Food, wood, gold, and stone, each with a different strategic purpose
-Aggressive and defensive strategies, and everything in between
-Action-packed matches lasting only 4 minutes
-Roguelike progression: try to survive 10 matches, and upgrade your civilization after each win
-4 levels of AI difficulty
-The AI never cheats, yet the developer still can't beat the hardest AI
-VoiceOver accessibility
-Pay once to own the entire game, forever
-The app icon will never include an angry shouting face

A Few Minutes of Glory is a solo passion project by the developer of Nano Empire and Friends of the Prince. Due to limited resources, this is only a single-player experience, for now...

Version 1.2

-Added extra slow speed option.
-Optimized all speed options for VoiceOver.

Fun, bit pricey.

A fun game to play, however 99p would probably make more sense.

Horse Archers are broken unfortunately. I can’t beat Insane difficultly without them, because eventually you come across an opponent who has them and they are really a resource farm.

addictively easy to pick up and play with plenty of complexity

This is certainly a fun game which is great to play during a coffee break or whilst travelling. The interface is quite simple to understand and there is sufficient help documentation which is appreciated.
The one small issue I have with the game at present is that some of the formatting in the battle screen can make the readability with VOICEOver [Apple's built-in screenreader) a little difficult because due to where the punctuation appears in the lists for both the attacker's and defender's units, the information is spoken by VO in such a way that it is not easy to immediately determine which numbers relate to which unit, since VO will pause before a number rather than after, so in the middle of the unit list it can be confusing
for example
swordsman: 2 Archer: 1 pikeman: 2
in the above example, if one is not paying full attention when VO starts to read the list, it might be incorrectly understood that there are 2 archer and 1 pikeman units. This could easily be corrected by adding commas after the number of the unit
Other than this small issue, the game has enough replay ability and challenge to be worth playing over and over again.
Definitely recommended.

Great little time filler

So simple an idea, takes me back to the old spectrum games where you didn’t need fancy graphics or A-list music
Just a simple idea, well thought out and well implemented
Really like this game, true it’s not for everyone but as a way to fill 15 minutes and as a pick up n play it’s great
The time management and resource management is well structured and the battle side is so simple but so effective
Overall a well deserved 5 stars
Dang I used “well” a lot there🤪
