Resist slop, embrace subs
This is just a really solid strategy game and doesn’t feed into a dopamine hole just to push ads on you. Enjoy and embrace this game and its community.
Played this game for years
Truly one of the best games of all time
Amazing game!
Some of the most intense fun you can have over 10 days
Great game
It's an awesome strategy game. Definitely recommend a download its comparable to War* the board game but more indepth. the only but* is that its a slow game, its Not clash royal where its a 360sec quickie. 1 match takes place over 5 days. I'll play a game every month er so. Awesome game, give it a try.

This is literally the best mobile game so underrated
Not worth 15$
Came in expecting a strategy board game, and left after realizing its just a bunch of chatrooms with glorified idle-clicker gameplay.
The technical side of the game is simple, and most of the impactful gameplay is interacting with other players.
The game is slow, so most players play multiple lobbies at once. The result is that people resign very early if their start isn’t optimal, and move onto the next lobby.
I had about 7 players disconnect in my first four rated matches for no apparent reason. Three of those games went to players who ate up the dc’ed ones, while the rest turtled up and play for 2nd or 3rd place.
Also apparently the leaderboard is full of players on multiple accounts and the dev doesn’t really care because they’re making another game.
Tldr:
-Quality of games is poor without any matchmaking
-Optimal strategy is to fight other players as little as possible
-Game doesn’t receive any notable updates (you can check the update history yourself)
The 15$ (used to be $5) to unlock the full game is obviously not going towards developing this game.

One of a Kind Game
An awesome game with updates still happening 10+ years after release. Even though it’s old it’s still unparalleled in its niche genre. Nothing scratches my need for strategy and diplomacy quite like Subterfuge.
Best hidden gem in the App Store!
By far the best game on the store. Been playing since 2015, and I recently re-downloaded it after the updates. Still as gritty, and thought provoking as I remember it!
This game still rules
5/5. Never played anything else like it.
Top worst
One of the worst games. It looks like military recruitment IQ exam but just bizarre what’s going on here. Very boring. Pass on this one
Love the Game but issues with recent updates
Recent Updates have made it impossible to delete subs on IOS. Please fix.
Great Game otherwise.
Great Game otherwise.
Best. Game. Ever.
It’s the best game on iOS bar none, and it has been for years.
A deep commitment
Subterfuge goes beyond strategic co-ordination, as good as that is, and indeed there are some real haymakers there. Its novelty is in its social dynamic: to do well one should negotiate with everybody on the board. This typically means relations with 4-7 opponents, some for short-term gain, some for the longer game, and perhaps reneging on arrangements prior. Not for everybody, given the real risk of being betrayed.
A Subterfuge player is able to adequately automate unit instructions, but the game still favours constant maintenance throughout the entire length of the 7-10 day campaign. Casual players beware! The devs had to take a break, but for their fans they’ve come back to support this corner of the strategy game hobby. Some communities are too precious to disperse.

OMG
FIRST UPDATE IN SEVEN YEARS :0
Once you learn how to play this game, it will consume you…
You won’t be able to sleep comfortably if you are in the midst of the game. You will always be scheduling subs during work, school, and late at night. You become more emotionally invested in your relationship with your allies than your closest friends. You will cry when you are betrayed, scream when you prevail and pray for good specialist hires in your most dire moments. You will anxiously await the sound of notifications alerting you of messages from other players. But most of all, this game will be the only thing you think about while your playing it, morning, day, and night, it will be at the forefront of your thoughts constantly. Play if you so please, but be warned of the vice-like grip this game has on a man’s soul, and enter cautiously.

Amazing game
Absolutely wonderful. Great game with great people playing. Wish the Tier 2 purchase was a bit cheaper, but I don’t think it was a terrible choice to buy it. In general, great game, defs play it again
Sensational
This game is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece (except for the sometimes pesky bugs) but besides that, the community is like no other and if you play a few matches you’ll come to see exactly that, every game is like walking through a different street in Detroit so you never know what you’re gonna get and that’s the magical part, you might run into the infamous OliverTwist or maybe even be able to attend the world famous Cramathon always hosted by Richard Cramcram. In terms of gameplay it is stellar, all specs have been thought out amazingly, the game is well balanced and it is a game so obviously designed to prove combat iq, I’d say in terms of strategy it easily rivals chess and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes games who put the “real time” in real time strategy. This game allows you to test every single concept in the art of war or the 36 stratagem whatever it’s called book. Amazing amazing game.

Brilliant underrated game
It's sadly abandoned but it's well made no serious bugs if any
New medal
Dear developers!
The game is great but can I ask you to add a “NAP Breaker medal”?

Won’t work
Game keeps kicking me out the moment I open it, simple as that.
