Dotria
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dotria is a strategy game about territory, played on an endless grid. You and your opponent place dots in turn. Enclose a group of enemy dots inside a closed chain of your own, and that ground ā and everything standing on it ā becomes yours. The rules take a minute to learn. Playing them well takes considerably longer. A COMPUTER OPPONENT THAT THINKS Dotria's opponent is not a set of canned replies. It searches the position each turn: it weighs a capture against what the trade hands back, it sees an encirclement forming several moves before it closes, and it defends the ground worth defending. Three levels ā Easy, Medium and Advanced ā and Advanced is a genuine opponent, not a formality. The engine is tuned from real games, and it keeps getting sharper. TWO PLAYERS, ONE DEVICE Pass the iPhone or iPad across the table. No account, no connection, no waiting for anyone. PLAY ANYWHERE Dotria works fully offline. No sign-in is required to play. BUILT TO BE LOOKED AT A board that stays legible whether you like it light or dark, dots you can size to your own eyes, and captured territory drawn so you can read the shape of a game at a glance. Game Center leaderboards, and your records carried across your devices through iCloud. Dotria is free and supported by ads. A single one-time purchase removes them permanently, on every device signed in to your Apple Account. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dots at none against Dotria's 1. Dots also leads on ads (none vs shown). Dotria's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
