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 clearest difference is rating: UniWar at 4.6 against XeeWar's 4.0. UniWar also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 40%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). XeeWar's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UniWar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and XeeWar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
UniWar holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniWar has 1.1K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UniWar ships an update monthly, XeeWar every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
