Ancient Battle: Rome App Reviews

For the traditional wargamer

Awesome sauce

Normally I’m not the biggest fan of ancient warfare, but I found this game to be exceptional in terms of content and gameplay. While I do feel like there are a few missed opportunities, or a few overly easy or impractically difficult scenarios, much of the game itself has a lot to offer and I’d definitely recommend it over a lot of the other ancient warfare games. Kinda wish we could play around with the 300-400 AD units though…I’d like to see a remake of the Chalons or Adrianople maps. 4/5 fo

A stellar game and surprisingly addictive. I really enjoy the strategy, well designed game mechanics, and thoughtful use of Roman history and units. I've purchased all of the extra campaigns and am almost finished with them. Hope you produce more.

Absolutely love all of the Hunted Cow games. Keep them coming. However, Alexander was running just fine, until the latest update....now it crashes all the time ( I am on an iPad Air)

Very good strategy game! You can actually see the battle take place without playing with cards.

Great hex based gaming on the iPhone. I really like history and strategy and you've blended these well. Have you considered a medieval title? Please keep up the great work!

I love this game please keep adding more. Very fun to play and keeps you thinking thx.

It really is a great strategy game

Awesome game, worth the money. I originally post on 01/17/2015 that the purchased the full version would not load and I had contacted the games support team. They were prompted in making the fix.

Great game but you have to buy additional battles.

This is a stout and well designed game. I prefer strategy games from the gun powder age but I was unable to stop playing until I had completed all of the campaigns. Excellent controls and fast paced.

Great game, but aggravating at end. Should have the option of continuing after end points reached.

This game is an excellent game. Lots of scenarios to play with interesting units.

Great game! This game and it's cousins are my favorite turn-based strategy for my iPhone and iPad.

Wish I could rotate units but otherwise best game in the universe veni vidi vici

This app is really fun! It runs great ( for me ) .... Historically it's actually pretty accurate. I recommend this game to anyone who likes total war games!

Very fun game like all their others. Challenging enough to keep you thinking. But not frustrating. The units are well thought out.

One of the best hex games, because it combines infantry, cavalry, archers, large army scenarios, and unusual units like elephants and catapults.

Great hex game play but I wish the other campaigns were included. Still, nice to play a traditional game without the "buy to win" robbery.

I love the strategy aspect of the game! If u lose just rethink ur plan and try again!

May I suggest a custom battle area of the game? Set up different units on both (or more) sides in a map, and then play as a faction of choice.

Excellent turn-based tactical game: user-friendly controls, simple game play, & lots of fun.

Could use pass and play, and design your own level. Maybe spawn in units

Simple, but challenging enough to be entertaining. Educating on both historical and military facets.

Smart ai, well balanced game. Guile is needed.

Very fun! Really has a feel of Roman war. The way units work really makes it feel like how the army's would have felt.

These are my favorite turn based strategy games on iOS period. Well worth the purchase. It combines strategic depth and breadth with tactical decision making and historical tie-ins. 5*s for sure.

I gave it five stars sometime back, but lately some of my units refuse to fight, can’t select archers to fire. I’ve noticed it across the other ‘ancient’ games. Very frustrating!!!

Simple stuff like not being able to flank unless you have a giant free area, veteran units still getting wiped by non vet units, basic stuff that you should be able to use to win fights is poorly or not implemented. Especially the flanking is horrible. The whole concept of the Roman cohort was to allow units to be flexible and take advantage of opportunity but in this game you need a square mile of empty space to maneuver. Musket smoke got it right this game is just frustrating.

Good game - horrible update being applied across all Hexwar Ancients and Civil War titles. New speedy animations look ridiculous. Cannons move like they are on ATVs. weeeeee !!! Heavy troops like Hoplites now speed walk like a perky fitness trainer in yoga pants. Hexwar - please put one more level of speed down so that there is an option for heavy troops and equipment to move more realistically like they once did.
