## What is Codex of Victory?

Human society has been divided. On one side, the natural course of human evolution has been disrupted. What started as an attempt to adapt to the harsh conditions of outer space and hostile planets, led to the creation of a weird race of transhuman cyborgs – the Augments. Driven by a desire to ‘liberate’ ordinary humans from the limitations of their wholly organic bodies, the Augments have launched a full-scale attack. Now we must defend our territory and fight back, to save our Kingdoms and all of humanity as we know it!

Codex of Victory features an extensive story-driven, single-player campaign that tasks you with building and commanding a hi-tech army of drone vehicles, tanks and robots. The campaign offers an exciting mix of real-time base building, global strategic planning and turn-based combat. Travelling between planets and territories, your sole task is to stop the Augments.

Inspired by classics of the strategy genre, the base building element involves expanding your underground HQ in real-time. Collect room blueprints, build factories, research centers, workshops, laboratories and other facilities, to prepare for battles ahead. Global tactical oversight comes from your Planetary map, on which you’ll instantly see where your armies need to be deployed.

Engage in tactical turn-based combat on hex-mapped battlefields. Select your units and upgrades, deploy them to the battlefield using the terrain to your advantage and test your tactical skills in each mission. As you progress through the battles of the main storyline and the various randomly-generated side missions, you’ll gain access to over 25 units. Each type of unit comes in countless variations, thanks to a diverse range of upgrades and add-on modules. Build your best and put them to the test against the incoming Augments!

• Exciting combination of turn-based combat and real-time base building

### 3/5 — Gut aber zu langwiedrig

*2022-08-04*

Cooles design ...oft zu langatmig aber gut...

### 1/5 — Нет миссий

*2020-11-23*

Пропали миссии и нечего делать дальше, почти начало игры!а так затянуло, исправьте ошибку

### 1/5 — Забили ...

*2020-11-21*

Совсем забросили игру, последнее обновление 3 г назад

### 1/5 — How about a tutorial that actually explains how to play?

*2020-11-20*

Instead of just telling you what to do. How do I get a unit to move or attack an enemy? You tell me WHAT to do, you just don’t tell me HOW to do it.

### 3/5 — -

*2020-02-21*

Не оптимизировано под 11 айфон, изображение в половину экрана!

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра в AppStore

*2020-01-17*

+1 положительный отзыв в копилку довольно занятной игры. Да, за 749 деревянных немногие возьмут, но по скидке вы получаете ИГРУ, а не донатное недоразумение.

### 1/5 — Not iPhoneX/XS/11 compatible!

*2020-01-15*

The game doesn’t scale the iPhone X/XS/11 screen so we play in a very small surface with an outdated interface. Get the update done!

### 5/5 — An imperfect 5-star game

*2019-10-26*

Excellent hex turn based strategy game in the style of old Nectaris, with a LOONG single player campaign and a story that starts out Dune then takes a sudden turn to become Star Trek: Voyager. 

(Nectaris is like Great Little War, but in space.)

Having just finished it on Normal, I can say it’s definitely worth the couple of dollars. 

There’s a good variety of units and maps, lots of unit customization options and the story makes the focus of the game change frequently, so you never have time to relax and get bored. 

The only gripes I have are:

I bit of rough translation in the dialogue. 

The controls can get a bit rough when the isometric view overlaps with buttons/targets, so you have to be VERY careful and zoom to move them. 

The main currency trickles in so slowly and is used in so many activities that all other resources pile up and become unusable and you’re forced to do a lot more grinding of defense levels while it collects. 

Those defense missions do get a bit repetitive after a while. 

The AI can be REALLY dumb ignoring flying units sneaking through to snipe its HQ. 

Sometimes moving 1HP units around the map, especially to capture a city makes them inexplicably explode. Are there land mines? Potholes? Thumb tacks?? So you have to reset and use a more durable unit for not reason. 

When clearing a planet you have to be VERY careful not to tap on another planet’s province, even just to check the travel time, as this instantly takes your ship back into orbit and takes many hours to get back to where you were a second ago. So it’s better to clear a planet fully and lose a few provinces on another planet than try to hop between planets to defend them.

Other than that, it’s a fantastic game.

### 1/5 — Frechheit!

*2019-10-20*

Nach der Rettungsmission des Kanzlers geht nix mehr – und das jetzt schon seit Release! Kein Update, kein Bugfix, nichts! Neu installieren hat auch nichts gebracht. Könnte man fast schon als Betrug bezeichnen ein Spiel raus zu bringen welches nicht wirklich funktioniert... 😡

### 1/5 — Nicht lustig

*2019-09-16*

Die KI ist unterirdisch, bescheisst dafür aber.
Der Gegner baut fröhlich einheiten obwohl er gar keine AP hat. Nicht nur das er baut die Einheiten auch noch direkt bei den eigenen Basen.
Der Gegner hält sich weder an Zuglimits noch sonst was.
Der komplette Kampf sind harte Skripten.
Sowas war vielleicht noch in den 90 er ok, aber nicht mehr heute.
Vor allem kann man nicht mal abspeichern.
Man muss also so oft von vorn neu anfangen bis man das Skript des Gegners auswendig kann.
Das ist einfach kein gutes Spiel.
