WAR, the most famous strategy board game from Grow, now is available in a cool brand new virtual version! There are two boards to play intense battles: Classic Game: Feel like a real general. Aim for your goal and carefully define your strategy. Attack at the right time, protect your borders and defend your territories. Dominate entire continents, invade and conquer opponent territories. But evaluate your movements carefully because, just like in great wars, poorly planned attacks can make great powers fall while the correct strategy can transform small armies into great empires! Roman Empire Game: With internal conflicts and increasing barbarian invasions, the time has come for the rise of the Caesars, the Roman Emperors. Be a true strategist in command of entire Roman Legions and conquer the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Gather your friends and play the digital version of this classic game, the app makes the game much faster and more dynamic, making the games last much shorter than in the board version. GAME MODES » LOCAL MODE: In this mode, you can play with up to 6 people (classic board) or 4 people (Roman Empire board) on the same device, as if it were a digital board. You can also play alone against the computer. There is no need to register for this mode. Play FREE and unlimited! » ONLINE MODE: Have fun playing WAR Online with 3 to 6 people. Now, you can play anytime and with people from anywhere. The "SmartMatching" intelligence system finds the ideal opponent for you, making your matches much more dynamic and challenging. Attention: for this game mode you must be connected to a Wi-Fi network. » FRIENDS ROOM: Add and challenge your friends in online WAR matches. Play with up to 5 friends on any device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Start Player Selector at none against War's 14. Start Player Selector also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 16%) and rating (3.7 vs 3.5). War's advantage is ratings volume (118 vs 22). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Start Player Selector holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War has 118 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of War's written reviews are positive against 50% of Start Player Selector's.
