★★★★★Quick and engaging randomly generated strategy
This is an interesting twist on Risk-style strategy games. I have my suspicions about how the battles are decided, but it’s definitely not 3v2 with defenders winning ties. Each game is completely random, which leaves some games feeling very lopsided. I wish I could wager on the outcome, or that there was some sort of challenge metric assigned to maps where my high-density units are at the 4 corners of the map.
★★★☆☆Fun idea: math doesn’t add up
The basic concept is great. But when I attack a 2 with a 6; I assume I should win and end up with a 3 on that tile? Instead the tile did not change colors, an we both dropped to a 1?
If this is a bug, it wrecks the game.
If that’s by design it would help to explain why.
★★★★★Network effects pattern recognition embedded in a game
I loved playing Network Wars (created by Jim Rutt) because it reminds me of all the bar work effects the world is littered with if you can function stacking. Every function stacking beyond a threshold achieves a network effect. I like the way game mechanics reinforce network effect availability in the game and in general. ~Bobby
★★★★★Intuitive and addictive
Games are short and engaging. Most attractive game I have on my tablet.
★★★★★Great game with realistic strategies
This is a fantastic addictive game with realistic strategies. There is one flaw that gives the human player a tremendous advantage. Bots never attack a node that has an equal or higher value. Attacking a higher node sometimes is a great strategy as it weakens the node so that it gets attacked by other bots or allows the player to use more than 1 node to gang up on a higher node.
