What's New in StartWar

2.0

August 27, 2026

Rivals no longer sit quietly. World Powers now shows when each rival makes its next move, so the race for the map is something you can read and plan around instead of guess at. WHAT'S NEW • Leaderboard medals — the medals you've earned now appear next to your rank • Rival countdown — every rival shows the day of its next annexation, and when it's imminent • Offline sharing — share a conquest with no signal and the post is saved, then handed back to you once you're online • Smoother resume — returning to a campaign after hours away is quicker and steadier Plus a round of stability and performance work under the hood.

Interesting Concept!

Really interesting concept for a strategy game, but really it kind of plays itself. Nothing to really think about with this game. You simply select the nation you want to attack and do it. You are given a percent chance to win and if it’s over 50% you are pretty much guaranteed to win. You have five different things you can put money into, such as military, economy, technology, etc. however, there is absolutely no explanation as to what putting money into these things does. Overall, a good concept that feels unfinished. Will update my review as game is updated.

Response from developer

You're right on both counts. The five investment categories change your odds and recovery rate but the game never says by how much, that's a UI failure and it's first in line to fix. And when a >50% roll is basically a win, the decision is over before you tap; we're reworking combat so odds are a starting position, not a verdict. "Good concept that feels unfinished" is fair. Thanks for saying you'll take another look. Future updates coming soon!
