## What is Hex Mechs?

In the year 2523, a large wormhole opened up on the outer limits of Jupiter's orbit. E-CON's Navy stationed on Jupiter's moon Titan were the first to witness as the vast Insectron horde spewed out of the rift torn upon in the Solar System.

Battle across various worlds in this futuristic turn-based strategy game. Utilise a vast array of units to defeat your foes while minimising losses. Mission are varied and challenging and include objectives such as capturing an objective, defending a base and, of course, annihilating the enemy!

About the Factions:

** Earth: Earth Coalition of Nations (E-CON) ** 
The last of human society on Earth after the Insectron Horde separated Earth from its colonies and devastated the population on Earth.  The last bastion of hope for Earth, E-CON operates out of vast militarised caverns and tries it's utmost to find a way to wrestle control of Earth back from the Insectron invaders.

** Aliens: Insectron **
The basis for all Insectron 'life' are two substances believed to be based on highly advanced nanomachines.  The first substance, labelled 'Xenoaqua', is a quicksilver like substance which hardens to create Insectron structures and armour.  It is highly adaptable and will self-repair by absorbing more liquid Xenoaqua.  The second substance is 'Xenophy', a purple liquid, said to have the consistency of thick syrup.  Xenophy is thought to be the 'brains' inside the Insectron machines and the most vulnerable to damage.  It is unknown if the Insectron think with a' hivemind' or if they feel individuality, but both there is evidence to support both claims.  The Insectrons follow a pack mentality to the point they seem to share their perceptions on the battlefield almost instantaneously, they also display fear and self-survival when in danger.

** Martians: The Holy Gravidus Republic (HGR) **
Humans first settled on Mars midway into the 22nd century. Isolated for hundreds of years, the Colony on Mars grew into a religious order. While Earth burned for decades, the Insectron horde sent a much smaller force to occupy Mars; and while the Martians and Insectrons clashed, the Martian people were left relatively unhindered in their progress. Waiting for the perfect moment, the HTR have unleashed the full potential of their technology, wiping aside the Insectron occupation force. They now have their eyes set upon Earth, to reap revenge.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work On iPhone 12/15.5

*2022-07-14*

I just see part of a picture that says “HEX ME”. That’s it. Nothing more.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-04-13*

Won’t get past the loading screen doesn’t fit the XR screen either.

### 5/5 — Love the sci-fi flavor of this great Hex game!

*2018-11-11*

I absolutely love the Civil War hex games. Especially for the strategy and historic info. And as a fan of Sci-fi, this game is a unique and welcome addition to the list of great Hex Games! Cool characters and settings and great mood music really put you in the futuristic Sci-fi state of mind. Buck Rogers would love this game!

### 1/5 — It’s ok, but I wished they get the new

*2017-12-01*

It’s a nice game, I only gave it a one star cause I been waiting for over a year or two for the new updated game.

### 4/5 — The new App Store is awful

*2017-11-23*

Just awful.

### 5/5 — Fun fight

*2017-01-30*

I enjoyed the variation away from the usual Hexwar campaign settings. I like the music and only wish we could play as the enemy aliens too. Time for equality!

### 2/5 — Not their best

*2016-02-10*

Interestingly, I wrote this review couple of months ago, and it never showed up, so resubmitting it.

I love hex war....all the WW2 games are top notch. 

This is very similar, just substituting robots for tanks. The only twist is you have a factory that manufactures replacements, which you need to defend, in addition to control points.

Also, it is EXCRUCIATINGLY slow, even on fast forward.

It's not bad, just not great.

### 2/5 — Hard

*2016-01-23*

While the game looks and feels like the regular hex war games this almost impossible to win.  Even playing just a 'standard' game the enemy seems to never miss while you seem to always do.  Just not sure this one is worth the money...I'll stick with the WW2 and civil war games.

### 5/5 — Watch this space

*2016-01-10*

A refreshing change from the historical output, works well. Go on HexWar, you might as well do a Fantasy game now!

### 5/5 — Tex Mechs

*2016-01-08*

Ok,this game is fun.Same basic play system,but new ideas and graphics.Back on form after the awful Iwo Jima release.Get this one,you won't regret it.
