Great sequel

If you like Twilight Struggle, you will love this, it’s like a micro version playable in 2 to 3 turns and very intense focusing on the Red Sea region split between the Middle East and Africa. Fun game!

If you’ve played Twilight Struggle, it’s pretty similar, and there’s a one page summary of differences you can find online. Make sure to learn the victory conditions.

Very good competitive game playing with other players online. The people who are writing that the AI cheats must just be very bad at this game. Haven’t had any significant bugs either.

Love this adaptation, hoping the original TS comes to iPhone soon

It's a feature-complete port. The game sparked my interest in the history and region. It's also a great way to get familiar with the board game before playing the physical version. One small issue though: On my iPhone, the Dynamic Island covers the cards on the side, making them hard to operate. It would be great if you could add some spacing on the left and right sides to fix this.
By the way, do you have any plans to bring the original Twilight Struggle to iPhone?:) It seems like it's only available on iPad for now.

Twilight Struggle sequel.

If you like Twilight Struggle, you will like this, although it’s much faster to play, with only 2-3 very intense turns. Gameplay is fairly similar, where you play cards and use them for operations or events. The goal is to control the Red Sea, with one side being Africa, and the other being parts of the Middle East. The events have a very strong effect on the gameplay, and the first few times you play, you might find you get wiped out quickly, but that happens less once you get used to the cards. Also study the victory conditions, they are a bit tricky, but give you several paths to victory.

UPDATE Despite what others said in the reviews here, the AI does not cheat, the people who say that are either bad players or don’t understand probability or both. The app is generally pretty stable, I get the occasional crash, but no big deal as the game is saved. It’s an exciting game, and often isn’t decided till the last turn. Recommended.

Can’t even play

Would love to play this game but it can’t even load past 45 percent trying to start an offline AI game.

Would like my money back.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

This is a $10 game and for what?
Another trash game with broken AI that cheats.

I can't believe these devs already screwed up the AI in this game just like they did in the other game.

But at least in the first game they gave the player the option of setting up a handicap.

There is no such option here.

The game obviously cheats as I've now lost count how many times I have a hand with 1's and 2's, of mostly the opposing sides cards, while the AI is throwing down cards of 3's and 4's.

I've also lost count of how many times I'm only half way through the first round but I've already lost.

This game is trash if they don't fix this.

Don't waste your money on this game unless they put in the option for having a handicap.

Looks great but crashes!

The app crashes on the loading screen when I try to create a game

Rule book missing half

I can not find the odd numbered sections of rule book.

Ap crashes a lot

Bugged

Does not work on iPad mini 3 with iOS 12.5.7
When you start tutorial or new game it crashes at 45%

Note: Standard Twilight Struggle works just fine

Middle East Scoring Card Missing

Played many games of this and yet to see this crucial card, the absence of which completely breaks the game. There is practically zero point in placing influence on an entire half of the board. For £10 this is shoddy work.

Super

Traduit en Français (contrairement à Twilight Struggle) et bien traduit (contrairement à Labyrinth). Bravo !

Card event text is way too small

The app is quite well done and immersive. However the event text on cards is so small it’s quite a challenge to squint and read each one of them. As a result I’m unable to play the game for too long. Suggestion to improve this
