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?

Hollow County has ten waters in it and a hundred and twenty fish. You start at Willow Pond with a cheap rod, six-pound line and ten worms, and you work your way out to the trench. Cast. Wait. When it bites you get two seconds to set the hook — then hold the reel and find out what you hooked. THE FIGHT Tension climbs while you reel and falls when you let off. Push into the red and the line frays, and it does not mend. A fish that runs hard for a long time costs you more line than a heavy one that gives up early. Rod power, line strength, hook size and what you tied on all change the math, and you feel every upgrade. TEN WATERS A farm pond, a cedar creek, a granite lake, a blackwater bog, a copper river, a harbor pier, a tidewater marsh, coral shallows and a kelp forest — and off the shelf, a trench that will not take you until you are a Rank 8 angler with a deep rig in the bag. 120 SPECIES Twelve in every water. Bluegill and pumpkinseed in the weeds, tarpon and permit over the flats, something with teeth in the bog after dark. The Fishdex remembers every fish you have landed and every one that broke you off, with your personal best beside it. DAY AND NIGHT The clock runs while you fish. Some species only move at dawn and dusk, some only after dark, and the bog is a different place at night. THE TANK Anything over the trophy weight goes in the trophy tank. Everything else goes in the bucket and gets sold at the shack, and what the shack pays buys the next rod. NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. Your save lives on your device. There is no sign-in, no cloud, no leaderboard, no tracking and nothing collected about you. It works with the phone in airplane mode. TACKLE SHOP The tackle shop runs on coins you catch, and that part of the game is free and complete. A separate coin shop sells coins for real money and can remove the ads — you can lock it behind a PIN in about ten seconds from the tackle bag, and turn it off again the same way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bitfish at 100% against Hex Takeover's 20%. Bitfish also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Hex Takeover's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
