A great game that could benefit from dark mode

This is a great text based strategy game. Concept and unit counters look like they are inspired by Age of Empires games. Either you like medieval era concept games or not; try this if you like real-time strategy games.

Pros
- Balanced units
- A lot of fun
- Not draining but challenging gameplay
- Single purchase, no ads, no additional purchases
- Pause your game; continue when you relaunch the app

Cons
- There is no dark mode
- Some powers are obviously less powered

Just beaten the AI on insane (game speed=slow)!

I have a screenshot as evidence despite the disappointing lack of Game Center integration. Also, exploring the screen by moving around the finger instead of flicking, doesn’t work well. It’s harder to go back from an info screen than beating this AI thing :) Also, the unit types should’ve been under their own headings in the army reference screen for more convenient rotor navigation. There might be more issues I have encountered that I can’t recall right now, but I just want to enjoy my victory and and sleep peacefully :) Oh, online battles would be fantastic, though at a slower speed due to possible delays or connection issues.

Really good game!

I’ve tried many incremental-type games, and I’ve found them to either be too mindless or too complicated. This developer has done it right: there’s enough complexity to keep it interesting, but it’s accessible enough for a casual gamer too.

I also appreciate the super fair and affordable monetization with no ads or IAP. It’s also a small file size and uses no battery.

I like that you can play it when you just have a few minutes, but you can keep going if you have time.

I liked this enough that I bought two of the developer’s other games, which also seem to be clever twists on the genre.

Thank you, developer, for doing everything right with your games! We need more good guys like you on the store.

Fun app

Such a great game

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.
