Control an army struggling for survival in the post-apocalyptic world. Choose one of the 4 unique factions—Moloch, Borgo, The Outpost, The Hegemony—and defeat your opponent in tactical warfare. Play solo against an AI opponent or against a human player in an asynchronous cross-platform multiplayer mode. Prove that you have what it takes to survive: March with the machines of Moloch, leading its army toward setting the new world order. Become Borgo and unite the forces of the mutants who spread terror in the wastelands. Lead The Outpost, humanity's last and only hope, and try to beat the machines in against-the-odds guerrilla warfare. Be the boss of The Hegemony, a land of gangers uncaring about the fate of others, living only for violence and their mad entertainment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Similo at 4.5 against Neuroshima Hex's 3.0. Similo also leads on price ($1.99 vs $6.99). Neuroshima Hex's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Neuroshima Hex costs $6.99 and Similo $1.99 up front. Neuroshima Hex sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Similo sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Similo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 73 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Neuroshima Hex's written reviews are positive against 47% of Similo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Neuroshima Hex ships an update every 2 weeks, Similo every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
