Not Worth It
No ads so it would be worth it if the game quality was higher. Quick battle is a bit fun and quick.
Problem is the AI. On normal the opponent attacks your random units with their Spy. All this does is take away their ability to counter your 10.
On normal and hardest difficult it seems the AI mostly just moves their units around randomly so you’re always having to be on the offensive. Makes it boring, especially if you set up a good defense.
There’s an ad for multiplayer at the top, but it says it’s not available in my region. Oh well.
The AI also attacked my 7 with a 4, then a 6 two turns later. It already forgot? This was under highest difficulty available.
AI is severely lacking.
It is also incredibly stupid that you can’t chase after their troops by going back and forth - but they can run away by moving back and forth more than you can. So there’s a rule in place against you, but not the opponent.
Main issue is still the AI though, it’s incredibly boring to play. Waste of money.

Great — but sides get cut off
Great game, very creative and fun approach. I’d give it a 5, but the sides are cut off on the campaign. Also, the AI can be a bit more aggressive.
A bit lazy
The AI doesn’t attack. If you don’t attack the game would literally go on forever because the AI only has one strategy, Sit there and wait for you to come to attack. Seams lazy.
Cheater AI
It seems clear that they implemented the AI such that it has access to what classes your pieces are, and then just acts dumb to cover this up. If I approach a marshal with any piece other than a spy, it will ignore it more often than not, but when I approach with a spy, it attacks 100% of the time. Similarly, most other pieces with run away when approached by an unknown piece, but will attack a spy without hesitation.
It’s just not that fun playing against an opponent like that where they are cheating and toying with you to let you win.

As others have said
The AI knows your layout on the highest difficulty. It’s literally impossible to get its Marshall with a spy. They navigate through bombs to your flag…. I have never had an AI piece killed by a bomb… ever….
One of my favorite games.
I play this all the time; just wish once the game is over the opponent would display their remaining pieces.
Update it please
It would be good if it had 2 things, 1. A custom game where you can pass and play. And 2. I get to set up my own pieces.
Pathetic AI
The AI will not form an attack plan. It only counter punches. This makes it very easy to control the game. Don’t want them to come through a side? Just don’t move pieces on that side and the AI won’t even test the waters. Multi player would be the only way to ever get a challenge.
Cheating AI
The AI in this game is so bad it takes the fun out of it. If your pieces rank is higher the AI will move lower rank guys out of the way. The AI will also avoid bombs and send bomb diffusers right to unexposed bombs. Don’t even try to take their general as it will move always away from your spy and the game won’t let you move back and forth twice but the computer certainly can. Needs an AI update with more than just knowing where all your pieces are.

Trash bot system
The bots only move one piece back and forth they do not make any attempt to make an attack and will run away anytime you get your pieces close.
Where did multiplayer go?
I loved this game but now multiplayer is gone. Are there any updates up this is coming back?
Lame
After playing the multiplayer version for years, which recently shut down, this version is horrible. Can somebody explain to me how the single player version hasn’t updated in two years, but the multiplayer version, which doesn’t work, updated July 3rd?
Highly Addictive
I find this version of Stratego highly addictive. The Dutch designers have done a great job. Some spelling errors in the campaign briefings should be corrected. AI difficulty at the hardest level is good although a good player should have no difficulty with it in battle mode. Campaigns are a different matter; Player is outnumbered and outranked in several scenarios which makes for interesting challenges. Sound effects are good, as are the graphics.
Overall a satisfying purchase.

Not worth it
I downloaded the app because it said it had a link for multiplayer. Thinking it would be something I could do with my boyfriend while he was deployed, only to be told it’s “not available in my region.” Not worth it.
When will Multiplayer be fixed?
Multiplayer hasn’t worked in awhile just tries to connect to server. Single player is way to easy with AI avoiding bombs and just moving back and forth.
Love the board game but...
Everything is cool but the fact that as a player you can’t repeat moves but the AI can makes it borderline unplayable if it gets in a tough situation. It wouldn’t be a big deal if the AI didn’t actively abuse this, as they know that once you move a certain way too many times their path is clear. Doesn’t make sense, and seems like a huge oversight in what could be a great app for a great game. Should be five stars, but since I paid for it, it’s a two.

Outdated
Screen doesn’t fit on my iPhone XS. AI is also infuriating, constantly going back and forth. Riveting gameplay (sarcasm intended).
Impossible to Reset Pieces
I have tried to reset the pieces without success. You are forced to play the setup my iPad picks. It says you can reset by tapping pieces but it does not work.
Not much fun
The board game is amazing but this app isn’t. The game limits how many times you can move back and forth but not the computer making it impossible to catch your opponent and the computer plays the game as if it already knows where your pieces are, how to move and avoid your bombs and Generals and that gets frustrating. I love playing the real board game but not this app.

Agree with negative reviews of AI
AI on hard knows what your pieces are. It totally avoids my bombs. I actually built a wall of bombs with one slot around and not one piece, not even a scout, hit a bomb. Wait till they fix this before purchasing. Takes the fun out of it.
