Welcome Hex Warriors! Hex Takeover is a turned-based strategy game played on different hexagonal boards. The objective is simple: conquer the most tiles to win. How To Play: During your turn tap on any of your tiles to chose your next move. Tiles can be cloned to adjacent spaces or they can jump to further spaces. Landing near opponent tiles will convert their tiles into yours! Cloning and Jumping have different implications on your strategy. Cloning a piece means that you get more tiles of your color on the board. Jumping sometimes could be beneficial if you spot enemy pieces further away but want to conquer them. The game ends when the board is filled up with tiles! Seems easy right? Let's put your skills to the test! Hex Takeover has simple game rules, yet the game can be quite a bit challenging! With different levels and varying difficulties, there are tons of different strategies to explore. Through very satisfying and calming gameplay, explore the map and encounter new enemies and challenges! Can you explore the entire map and unlock new characters to play as?

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hex Takeover at 4.5 against Terra Smash's 3.1. Hex Takeover also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 39). Terra Smash's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 20%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hex Takeover sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Terra Smash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hex Takeover holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Takeover has 3.3K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Hex Takeover's written reviews are positive against 29% of Terra Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hex Takeover ships an update every 3 weeks, Terra Smash every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
