WARS ACROSS THE WORLD 4+

I am compelled to write a review for the first time because this is the game I’ve been waiting for. I love strategy games and there are several good ones in the App Store, but for me personally this one is it. Mainly because of the nostalgic feeling it has to it. It reminds me of the classic table top strategy games that my friends and I used to play as teenagers. I have purchased close to a third of the maps (scenarios) that are available and have enjoyed very much the ones that I’ve played so far. I will be editing this review with a fifth star if more maps/battles are added in future updates. Speaking of which…suggestions…Gettysburg, Isandhlwana, and Stalingrad would be a few awesome battles to recreate. Or maybe a mid 80’s NATO vs. Warsaw Pact Scenario like the movie Red Dawn. That would be so cool. Any way keep up the good work!

To its credit, it has a comprehensive rule book (116 pgs) available to learn from if you wish. Based on rather lame gameplay in tutorial, bad overall design, & dire warnings of lost purchases in reviews, doesn’t seem worth it to me. With so many titles to try (including more by this developer) I can’t linger on less than greatness.

Concluding as I began, with praise: despite my low rating for this particular game, I applaud the dev’s ambition and determination to improve their app game-making abilities; as evidenced by widely varied output and really excellent core ideas. Making AN original app game isn't easy; the effort this developer has put into creating so many is truly remarkable. With more refined gameplay mechanics and other technical improvement, the dev has potential to make a truly excellent game in the strategy genre. Their originality is evident in a range of unique titles already.

In the meantime, players should keep in mind just how hard it is to build and maintain these games, with no guarantee of earning a dime. Support indie developers—meaning both individuals and independent small studios—when/however and with as much as possible, because we’re very lucky to have them.

Let’s start with I love this game but I would love to see an option to have infinite turns. I always feel as if I am up against the clock especially in Berlin. for example the Germans can win every time if they simply pull back and defend Berlin the city until time expires. Also in many of the civil war scenarios it can be difficult to build an army especially as the confederacy. So I feel as if a option to enable an infinite amount of turns would make the game a thousand times better because then the Germans could not just fall back to Berlin and defend until the time expires and the confederacy could build up an army. Also for example in the battle of the bulge scenario the allies would be able to counter attack and push the Germans back instead of how it turns out where the Germans push them back almost to the edge and then they attack and capture a few towns then time expires. Please please add it as a option where you can enable it.
