Slay is a simple to learn game of strategy and cunning set in medieval times. The island is divided up between the six players, and you must try to capture your enemies' land and link up your own territories to create larger and stronger ones. You begin capturing land by attacking with your peasants. Once your territories become richer you can combine peasants to make stronger and stronger people (Spearmen, Knights and then Barons) who can kill weaker enemy troops, or knock down their castles. Just be careful that you don't create too many expensive men or the territory will go bankrupt! "This game is pure strategy! It's a work of genius. Brilliant AI. Engaging turn-based multiplayer strategy. Sid Meier, eat your heart out!" - GameSpy.com "I love this game! I play it all the time, and when I'm not, I think about wanting to play it." - PocketNow.com "At first glance, Slay looks elementary, but hidden beneath are cunning strategy elements that must be finely balanced for success" - PC Magazine "Deceptively delightful. The graphics are simple, but the strategy is complex." - Download.com For the latest news on all my games follow @SeansGames on Twitter!

Once the game begins, you must move around the map to build your point economy by capturing lighthouses, collecting debris, and completing real-world missions.

When Seekers ask questions, use your limited supply of Lies strategically to throw them off your trail. As a Seeker, you hunt using the live map. You must earn points by completing real-world photo tasks, then spend that intel to ask Hiders direct questions and narrow down their location.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Questscape at Free against Slay's $4.99. Questscape also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Slay's advantage is ratings volume (266 vs 2) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
