Leave a Review UniWar
Decent strategy game marred by advertising even for paid app
I am a very longtime user of the app that paid for it back when there was no advertising. The shift to advertising to a customer who already paid for the app and now asking for payment again is deceptive and outrageous. It was ok when I could turn on airplane mode and still play single player (casual fun even with gimpy AI) but now the developers added a time delay even for this.Show lessBTB30

Hello. We are sorry that you encountered a technical problem with our game please send us more details to support@uniwar.com and purchase receipt, we will be able to better help you with this issue. Best regards, Anastasia - Spooky House Studios Support.Simple and complex
I’ve been playing UniWar with my son for years. Why so long? There are two reasons. First the game design is something like chess in that it is simple but also very complex. The moves and the pieces are basic. But the combinations are endless. The second reason is that the developers keep improving the game. They adjust the pieces for more even play have open architecture for endless maps and add complexity where it’s needed.Show lessTheBuggBugg

Dear player, thank you for the wonderful comment! Stay with Spooky House and keep enjoying the game. All the best, Anastasia - Spooky House Studios SupportOne of the best
The game is awesome. It’s like star craft meets chess. Just one small request: can the online games be played quicker by default (1 minute per turn rather than 1 day)?
I tried different turn based strategy games and the fast paced ones do feel a lot more engaging. People can focus on one game instead of opening a bunch in parallel, never knowing which one will be abandoned.
That said, the game itself is very well designed.Show lessAbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789@&$

Dear player, thank you for rating the game. The online games can be played quicker if you set the time allotted for the move by yourself. The shortest time is 3 minutes. You can find this feature in "Settings". All the best, Anastasia - Spooky House Studios SupportGame works now!
The app used to crash in single player offline mode. The developer responded quickly to my review and the issue was fixed! Love the game. My only suggestion would be allowing players to change the color of their team in single player offline modeA dissatisfied custumer

The game has a lot of very nice features and a good strategy for engaging the players with online play and map customization. The campaign is pretty fun and manageable. The only thing I wish this game would let me do is save maps to my iCloud account or somewhere locally on my phone. I would like to be able to choose from a selection of all the maps I have created. I can never find my uploaded maps. It’s such a shame because I put a lot work into them. Still a huge fan of this game.Show lessplainjosh

Dear gamer! Thanks for rating us. You can find your map inside your profile. To do this, Click on the flag - >> last tab - >> all created maps.Cool game but...
Interface is not at all intuitive. Its like a computer game they tried to cram onto a little phone screen. Maybe thats the case, i dunno but a friend referred me last week so i’ve stuck with it. I have played several hours and beat the initial 20-round or however many challenge, then a few bots. Now i’m in my 1st actual online game with the friend. Cant figure out how to chat. There are buttons/icons that are indiscernible on a phone screen and when you tap them stuff happens that you dont want. Maybe there’s a tutorial i missed? I dunno but i have this feeling like when you get into an American rental car and its a drawn out system of trial and error button pushing to just sync your cell phone, and the steering wheel is just cluttered with 18 buttons and you literally save time by pulling over and getting out the manual. Is that what you think you want from a time-killer phone app? Then by all means download uni-war!
Its not even intuitive figuring out how to chat. Then says my email is not validated and i need to goto the “headquarters/home menu”. So why am I even allowed to be playing?? And how have i been playing this for 10hrs and still dont know what that means or where to find it?? So its fun game but the interface is making me want to give up.Show lessAmateur dater

UniWar is the best turn base battling of real players. The Bots aren't very tough but can be useful in learning basics by playing them.
They fix the Bugs if you tell them about them.
I still think only Engineers, Assimilators, and Infectors should be able to detect Underlings! Hidden should be hidden.
I personally wish the timer in Tournaments should automatically skip & kick players that let the clock reach zero. Also when skipped the skipped player should gain no credits or only half credits. If players choose to 'burn' the clock then that is their choice, but if a player lets the clock reach zero then too bad for that player. That would get everyone to adhere to the clock and keep the game moving. (Like the clock in chess or the shot clock in basketball, etc.)
I LOVE UniWar and have been playing since Jan. 2010. I purchased for Andriod & iOS too. I'm very grateful for UniWar. Thank you for your hard work in the maintenance and upkeep of UniWar.
Sincerely, deNavaillesShow lessutherkbn

Got the app back when it was $5. Loved it. Was a great strategy game. Now coming back after 2 years. Balance is wack with 9 new units which r locked. If u want to build them u has to watch an ad. Wanna build next turn gotta watch another ad. Wanna redo turn watch another ad. And if the ad loads, half the time No ad plays or doesn’t work so I’m can’t take turn because I can’t build unit or redo turn. U can of course skip all this with $$$ or a TON of grind. It would honestly take WAY too long to make this game enjoyable again for me. Really disappointed.Show lessImaxium

Dear player, thank you for the review. You can use your old login, under which you've bought the game and you will not see ad between the turns. The features which you've mentioned, you can get for UniCoins, which you get by playing the game. Ads or real money are needed to get them faster. Kindly note that ads are essential in order for us to keep developing new features, and provide the best gaming experience for our players. You can get an “Ads-free” version with any purchase made in the game for real money. We are working to ensure that advertising is available for all players to undo turn or build units. Because it does not depend on us, but on advertisers who choose the regions for its placement. All the best, Elena - Spooky House Studios Support3D Chess
Best mobile game I've ever played. I've played this game since 2010 on a variety of phones blackberry, droid, and now iPhone. It's had it's hiccups and low points over time when it was more like two or three stars but it is now refined into a classic. Responsive devs, great community, and an excellent game overall.Show lessmrjedhyde

This is one of the few games created thus far which has a thorough campaign/tutorial as well as unlimited replay ability across the globe.
The best part of this game is that you can't buy greatness. Everything done here is with application of skill and tactics in maneuvering. I would highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a game of militaristic tactics and doesn’t want to play a game that you have to play 24/7 to be good at or spend real money to be competitive.
You could spend 5 minutes a day playing this game and with good application of strategic unit movement, win most of your matches. I have enjoyed making teams and playing the team matches in addition to the solo ranked games. The 8 player team matches are my favorite. I’ve chatted with people from all around the world playing this game and have developed friendships with people I will probably never meet in person.
Spend a week trying this game out, you won’t be disappointed.Show lessSST1989
