Command your army, hex by hex. XeeWar is a turn-based strategy war game: build units, capture bases and outsmart your opponent — through an 18-mission solo campaign, or against real commanders online. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER Every turn is simple: build, move, capture, attack. Winning is not. A dozen unit types with real strengths and weaknesses, terrain that shapes every fight — mountains and forests give defenders the edge — and no dice-roll luck. Position wins wars, not chance. CONQUER THE CAMPAIGN • 18 handcrafted missions across three theaters: Ground War, Naval War and Air War • Earn up to 3 stars per mission — win fast and keep your units alive • The enemy grows smarter and stronger with every level, from pushover to General • A hands-on tutorial makes you battle-ready in your very first game BATTLE REAL COMMANDERS • Online turn-based multiplayer over Game Center • Quick Match drops you on a random battlefield and finds an opponent fast — or host any of the 18 maps yourself • Watch your opponent's turn play out like a replay, then plan your answer • Play at your own pace: take your turn anywhere, anytime — no need to finish in one sitting CLIMB THE RANKS XeeWar uses chess-style Elo ratings: every online match moves your rating up or down based on the strength of your opponent. Rise through seven ranks, from Recruit all the way to General, and claim your place on the global leaderboard. Good luck on the battlefield, Commander.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kingdom Command at 100% against XeeWar's 40%. Kingdom Command also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). XeeWar's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (64 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XeeWar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Kingdom Command sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

XeeWar holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XeeWar has 64 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of XeeWar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kingdom Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

XeeWar ships an update every 11 months, Kingdom Command fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
