Arete: Battles of Alexander App Reviews

Lighter Ancients hex and counter game. Easy to pick up and get rolling right into the game

Great to get hex and counter gaming on my phone and this game delivers. The tutorial makes it easy to learn and start playing quickly. Good variety in the scenarios and the AI is always challenging. I just went through the campaign for the first time and can’t wait to do it again to try to improve my grades. More of these games please!

Easy to get into and definitely fun to play. A must try!

I played through the campaign twice, and I had fun every minute. I appreciate that games like this exist. It captures what I love about analog hex and counter wargaming but in digital form. It’s also has a great solo system. I really wish there were more games like this in the App Store.

This one harkens back to the day of the old analogs and they did a great job. I would love to see more of these please!

Very good classical wargame, with muances such as command, cohesion etc that make it much more interesting than other similar games one the App Store (eg Ancient Battle series).

Just finished my first battle and was compelled to write a review. This is a game I have been wanting on iOS for a long time. I love hex and counter war games (Squad Leader, Band of Brothers) and this game scratches that itch. I was a little worried it would be hard to play on my iPhone, my eyes are not what they were when I was younger. I had zero issues playing the game or reading the text. The UI is outstanding and makes the play seamless. The game itself is a lot of fun and mirrors tradition

I love the classic feel of old school counters combined in a great UI that really lends to the atmosphere.

As an avid wargamer, I love this game. It functions well on both phone and tablet. It provides a great hex and counter wargame experience online and against AI. I also enjoy the online matches a lot! I can’t wait for more titles like this.

Great interface, fun game.
