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?

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Block the Pig at 75% against Hex Takeover's 20%. Block the Pig also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0).

Both are free to download. Block the Pig sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hex Takeover sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hex Takeover holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Takeover has 3.3K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Block the Pig's written reviews are positive against 20% of Hex Takeover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Block the Pig ships an update every 13 months, Hex Takeover every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
