Riddled with bugs

An unbelievable number of bugs in this app; Iโ€™m confident they went straight to release after coding, anyone that plays a full game and has eye will spot them.
Otherwise an ok recreation of the original board game, some of the controls could be improved to make it even better.

Great game

This is one of the best games out there. It is the only game I could find on the World War I. I hope they expand and add armor and air units.

Awkward interface but good game.

Iโ€™m a veteran/fan of both Memoir 44 and Battlelore, so am quite familiar with the C&C system. Even so, expect to muddle around the first few playthroughs as the interface is unintuitive and there is no tutorial.

The interface is suboptimal with very small font not the cards, no easy reference for units/terrain, and slow animations between moves which canโ€™t be turned off.

That being said, this is a faithful reproduction of the board game, which is well designed.

Very Good

Great game worth getting , challenging and thoughtful you must think or you won't win, takes a interesting while to pick up all the play, manual is very good and a nesissary read, recommend good buy

Enjoyable game

So far I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Takes a bit to get used to some of the nuances of how the game works in the app itself. Certain,y it's ripe for expansions to include more scenarios and weapons.

Nice work Hexwar

Edit April 29th - new patches still coming out making the game even better. Fellow Fans - please get out to IOS game review sites and support the game vs shallow reviews. Let's keep it alive and viable for the Tanks expansion !

Some bugs to iron out as previously noted. But games like this and Arnhem really show the company stepping up to a new level. - Now just create a v2 engine for ancients warfare that uses facing and advanced routing rules and you'll rule the mobile strategy arena. ;)

Great game, needs AI improvements

Credit to the developer for quickly fixing the bugs as they appear. It now seems to work better and it really is an excellent war game.

A few bugs remain. For example, when the AI plays Butts and Bayonets, the human player sometimes gets the chance to advance after that card, strangely.

For that perfect rating the AI just needs some simple improvements. It still plays cards that just don't work in the situation. E.g. Plays a left side attack card when it has no left side units. I've even see it do this with a combat card such as machine gun barrage. It's competent, and I can't always beat it, but some simple improvements would make for a better experience, especially as there is no online play.

I've had my money's worth out of this app.

Keep up the good work.

Does not even start

Using an iPad Air 2 but the game won't even start. You get a grey screen for a few seconds and then it returns you back to 'desk top'. Unusable and frustrating, especially when you have paid for it. Please fix.

Mr

Waste of money doesn't even work

Buggy

I have yet to finish a game without either an outright crash or some minor glitch.
