‘Victorious’ = terrible
The main player on here is a guy named Victorious. For months, he cheated so much that the app developer had to create a couple updates to keep him from cheating. Now that cheating is not possible Victorious only plays players he knows he can beat and avoids everyone else. What a pitiful player.
Anyway, this app has a lot of good stuff but also some quirks that detract if you are a serious player. The actual mechanics are better than the official Stratego app but the game has glitches that result in you being given losses when you didn’t earn them.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback!
Too easy
You can bait the AI into sacrificing his 1 to your spy in every game. When I played the board game, it was far easier to bluff a player whereas the AI continuously falls into the same traps every game. Perhaps you can program an ultra aggressive AI to mix gameplay up a bit.
"Report an issue" means "Contact us"
Excellent game. Now up'ing my review to 5 stars. If you want to contact the developer, you need to "report an issue" even if you have no issue to report.
Suggestion re memory aids, also mark which pieces have moved, and are therefore not bombs.

The best Stratego app
I previously warned players to stay away until the app developer found a way to address players like Victorious and ArmyMP from cheating.
Well, the developer fixed the issue!!!
If you like Stratego this is the app you want to play.

Broken
You broke the game when you changed it recently.
Why?
Just why

Victorious is the worst
Neat idea for a game. Kind of a cross between chess and Memory. But very few players play and the few that do all disconnect from the app when they know they will lose. “Top rated” player Victorious is the absolute worst at this. No idea why the app doesn’t have a way to prevent this. In its current state there is no reason to play this game.

Waste of time
Players like Victorious and ArmyMP have ruined this game and the developer does nothing to fix the issue. Stay away until the game is fixed.
playing it is an absolute waste of time. Any time you are about to win your opponent disconnects so they don’t take the loss.
In my last 8 games, I should have had 6 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw. Instead, I have 1 loss, 1 draw, and 6 disconnects because of Victorious and ArmyMP.
The rankings are meaningless and just a reflection of players who continually disconnect to save their records.

Good game
This a good game! But there’s no way the AI doesn’t know where my pieces are. I can provide the evidence. But it will conveniently avoid pieces. For example, if I have a spy in a spot, the AI will advance the 10 until just before it reaches my spy then it will stop. As soon as I move my spy, the 10 moves. It does this for all pieces.

Great for exercising your brain!
As a neurologist, I always try to find activities that keep brains active. This is one of the best I have.
new version wont start game
restore purchases say purchases restored but they are not
new version wont start game
probe wont start the game after setup. restore purchases does not work.
No longer works correctly and company refuses to correct
Recent changes to game reported still need fixing the issue and it’s problems using the game now 1.when you do win because the computer cannot move or decides to give up you don’t win the game, it claims you have no pieces . 2. Win and points are no longer reported against account Please correct the error otherwise game and position tables are useless 3. Because the computer speed has increased the analysis by the computer means 4.it’s not an expert game any more. I notes that nobody’s account near me show zero game use so I assume that game progress and use are no longer logged.

Not working as it should
New changes have made it impossible to win or report a problem
“Upgrades Not So Great”
So, the last upgrade, which was apparently designed to make the AI more difficult to beat actually made the game more tedious to play. The time for the AI to make a move became excessive, especially as the game went on ….. excruciatingly slow. A typical game could take as long as 45 minutes. Now, with this latest “upgrade” you apparently have one minute to make a move or you forfeit. Meanwhile, the AI takes forever to make a move! And, to top it off, in my first game, near the end when the opponent had two pieces left (one of them a scout) the game shut down, gave me a defeat and indicated I had no moveable pieces! WRONG! I had several …. Here’s an idea ….. if it ain’t broke, don’t “fix” it!

Response from developer
Hello! You’re right, that is indeed a bug. When Probe has no movable pieces left, it’s being incorrectly announced as the winner. I’ll publish a fix for this in a few days. Regarding the time limit: the one-minute cap applies to online games only and is unrelated to the AI. As for performance, most users have reported that Heroic Battle is reacting faster than ever. Has it noticeably slowed down for you since the latest update?
Best Stratego app
Better functionality and gameplay than the official Stratego app or the knock offs. This is the version you need to get.
Previously, there were a couple issues affecting game play ( players intentionally disconnecting to avoid losses) but the developer fixed it so it works great now.
the one minor issue is that playing the “probe” is extremely annoying and has a habit of moving back and forth over and over to capture pieces that are diagonally from it and that it can never capture. This habit makes playing the Probe a huge annoyance and time waste. But we all play Stratego to play each other so that’s not a big deal. Great app.

Fun but easy and few players
The game works and doesn't have many ads. It's fun and good for playing with friends. The issue is there's not many online players and the AI you can play against is very easy to beat (even on expert mode).
Adding some optional modes from special editions would be cool as well.

Addicting and clean UI
Thanks for publishing Stratego under a good UI. I would love to connect my account info to the Game Center. And I’m having some trouble with my purchase, I’m unable to restore my purchases - specifically the complete collection. Any chance I could get some help with this?

Best Stratego app
Better functionality and gameplay than the official Stratego app or the knock offs. This is the version you need to get. That said, it has a couple glitches that need to be fixed to make it even better:
- private games do not show the correct pieces between the two players, which makes games pointless. (My 2 appears as a 7 to my opponent, etc). This does not happen in “random” games and only occurs during private games.
- the “probe” is extremely annoying and has a habit of moving back and forth over and over to capture pieces that are diagonally from it and that it can never capture. This habit makes playing the Probe a huge annoyance and time waste.
- but the worst are all the players who, once they see they can’t win, disconnect rather than take the loss. A disconnect of any kind should result in a loss

Could you please provide more details regarding the issues you're experiencing by emailing us at rrudmanis@hotmail.com? Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve the game. To clarify, when you mention a 'private game,' are you referring to an online match in a private room? Regarding the disconnects, it can be difficult to distinguish between intentional disconnections and genuine network instability, but we are looking into it. Thank you!
