    No retry button is kind of a big oversight.

    Other than that, game is pretty good so far. Very slick and polished. I wish they went with a more Fire Emblem rather than AW route, but it's good for what it is.

    It was created for this game by me, composer and producer at Gravity Music, where the music for all the MikaMobile games (so far) comes from.

    +1 - the music is great.....although I think I would have found it more authentic with some proper acoustic bluegrass finger pickin' - playing with an electric/electro-acoustic and plectrum doesn't feel quite right for the period/style of the game. Still, it does add great ambience and I'm only splitting hairs.

    @MikaMobile - is there any chance you could add terrain descriptions by tapping on a square ie show what percentage cover/defence (or not) it provides? Great game though, as has been said before - there's a real Advance Wars vibe going on. I tried Warbits but it didn't click with me, this gelled instantly. Well done.

    Oh snap... I gotta get through some backlog games but then this'll come next. I like the blend of Advance Wars with persistent progression through leaders.

    Its a great strategy game. I played only up to level 7 but it seems very good ballanced so far. Somehow it gives a nice feeling to retry a level. Even a hard defeat is not frustrating like it felt for me in Warbits. This is really nice work. Clapclap...

    But because the save is not working i cant go on playing. On ipad air ios 8.2. the story mode is not saving any progress. I played one gaming session up to level 5 and the next day i had to start from beginning as if the game was a new installed one. I tried it again to level 7 and had a well trained hero cause i got 3 Stars in all the levels except one. I closed the game. After a few hours i came back to the game and all progress was lost. It starts from scratch. Anyone else having this problem?

    You're not switching legends are you? Each hero saves their own progress (and star rankings) individually. If that's not it, I'd be interested in any other details you can share. Our saving method is something that's been rigorously tested throughout the years (we're essentially using the same system we have been since our first app) and I can't say data loss has been a problem before.

    First of all thanks to you Mika for being here.
    I checked the game again. All heroes in Storymode are back to level 1. I played with Wyatt up to lvl 7. Before closing the game i went back to the main menue. This happened now the second time. I never had any save issues with the battleheart games on the same ios version. In the options menue - is the never ending turning arrow next to icloud restore maybe the problem? The field icloud restore is greyed out.

    How is the difficulty compared to Warbits? I found that game got too difficult after a certain point, so much so that I couldn't even progress anymore.

    Hoping this isn't the same.

    The spinny arrow next to iCloud Restore would indicate that it isn't detecting an iCloud save, or is otherwise unable to connect to iCloud at the moment. I just tried installing the release version of the game on my phone, played a level, quit out, and my progress was kept when I opened the app again. I then uninstalled, signed out of iCloud (so I too would have no connection to it) reinstalled, played the first level, quit out, and it still worked properly.

    I'm really perplexed by this issue you're having. So far I haven't heard any other reports, but its only been 24 hours and I'm on the lookout. Is it possible your iPad's extremely full? How much storage is open?

    Maybe you could add some IAP for music sets? So, more bluegrass style for instance. A way for us to give you more money :)

    Bought this but out at the moment. Reviews on store and here later.

    This gets a 3/10 for not being warbits, according to the geniuses at Pocket Gamer.
