    Luci0, we'll have an update posted in a day or so, depends on how quickly apple will approve it. You use iPhone6+? Sry if missed that somewhere.

    IOSgamer1980, it's mostly a PvP game, since it is a skirmish wargame simulation like Memoir'44 or Battle Lore. Even rewards for a single-player scenarios are mostly coins and miniatures, which can be used only in Skirmish battles. There're some AI opponents, but only to keep you from waiting too long to start a match.

    We'll describe it more carefully in game info on next update. Sry if current description misled you somehow.

    Duped outta four bucks huh? Really? Compared to so many things in the App Store, this one is somehow incomplete and isn't worth four bucks? Cause the tutorial window didn't close on its own? Cause u haven't figured out what buttons do? Mkay

    The game's bugs make it very close to unplayable on iPhone. Roughly 1/3 of my games get a bug that makes the field unscrollable such that any enemy behind cards or offscreen become untargetable. Occasionally the clock will run on the opponent and nothing triggers; I'm forced to restart the game. And information boxes copy from one highlight over to other characters/items, giving you incorrect character info or even card info.

    This game is basically in early beta.

    K I'm having some strange issues. But the one I wanna ask about has to do with single accounts linking with multiple devices.
    Wanted to play scenario so I touched one of em, and told me I hadn't met requirements, hadn't bought it yet or something. So I go to purchase screen and buy the 'Cutthroats' scenario. Still hadn't met a requirement I can't figure out yet, but there problem in having is that when I switched from iPhone to iPad, it says I purchased the 'Samurai' scenario, but not the 'Cutthroats' scenario. I never bought the Samurai scenario. Opened the app on my phone but said I couldn't cause I'm using that account on another device which I think is telling me that accounts are linked and what happens in one device is reflected in the other, like Hearthstone for example. So on one device I have one scenario I bought but can't use, and on the other device I have a different scenario I didn't buy (but says I bought) and can't use that one either. Any idea what's going on here? This a bug?

    The price doesn't enter into it. It's about principle. But, no, it's not worth 4 bucks. It's not worth 2 bucks. If a game is in a mostly unplayable state, it should not have a price tag attached. I didn't bother to state all the problems I ran into because it's too much of a mess for me to outline all of the problems. If I hadn't been charged for what is at best a beta version, I'd be more than willing to help. I've done so often with other developers.

    That said, I haven't returned the game yet, as I do prefer to think the developers have good intentions, and perhaps just made a bad decision by releasing their product too early. Time will tell.

    Thanks! I'm using an iPhone 7 plus. I have been playing the game, but I'm personally hoping for single player campaign or tons of skirmish 1 player... I don't really enjoy PVP. But I'm totally in to this game, and I want it to succeed. Thanks Dev.!

    This game had great reviews and feedback on Steam, I think it's just a matter of time for the iOS issues to get sorted out.
    I prefer PvP focused games, and was glad to hear that this game prioritized that.

    Still holding off on buying it but getting much closer, with updates and devs feedback.

    You misspelt "mixed." Hth! HAND.

    E2a: I'm here because I wanted to check out first impressions before buying. The lack of single player (no interest in pvp tah), persistent online requirement, and glitch reports have completely stumped that for me.

    Of about 450 reviews, 350 were positive and 100 were negative.

    That's pretty good imo, for a genre that typically attracts strict reviewers.

    Also, you misspelled misspelled. Sorry, had to point that out. #

    Game says it's working towards full release. So sounds to me like early access which games charge for access to all the time. I don't think the app store has any formal early access program, so they state it in the games description.
    And I could show you unplayable. This isn't it. There's definitely negatives and criticisms, but I'm playing it and enjoying it just fine. Got much more than four dollars worth of enjoyment from it already regardless of principal.
    Idk about the devs making a bad decision by releasing it. Sitting at the top of TAs hottest games, I'm enjoying it, and according to another user, 3 of 4 reviews are positive and I think that's probably across all platforms.
    There's enough information pre release to determine that the game could be a pain to use on a tiny screen, and if you waited a single day after release, you'd figure that out with certainty from user comments and reviews.

    I hear ya, but this isn't the game for that.
    Check out Iron Marines, just released last week!
    It's a great strategy game for offline play.

    Agreed. Looks amazing. Barely playable. Could really benefit from a PDF manual.
