Fun strategy game with friends
Mon Jun 30 2025 RustyTrombiggleWe have a group thread of 6 of us and play this all the time on team or solo matches. Takes strategy but also has an “undo” so you can try out different moves until you find the one you want to do. Also the developers are very active on discord so it’s great to get quick feedback.
Cool Concept but too easy
Mon Sep 05 2022 arkansasclemI immediately started playing the AI on hard difficulty and I love the game and the focus on action economy, but there is simply to challenge even on hard difficulty level. Please make this game a little more challenging so that I fell like I am accomplishing something when I win. The other game by this developer has exceptional challenge on the higher difficulty levels, so not sure why they made this one so easy. Other than that, I like this game and look forward to updates that will make it more fun a rewarding to play.
Stellar (hehehe)
Tue Dec 24 2024 SkezickzWonderful theme awesome game! Made by a couple people that I think have a knack for fun ideas. I love that it is a single purchase with some progression unlocking stuff as you play. Really enjoy that the strategy is pretty deep. Excited to get this player count up. Telling all my friends and family about it this Christmas!
Top Tier strategy gaming
Tue Feb 28 2023 scaaat49Hands done the best Async PvP strategy game on mobile. If chess is your thing and you want something different, this is it, hands down. Additionally the Dev is one of the nicest and open minded I have ever met in my life. This game will take off mark my word, get ahead of the curve
Great Tactics game!
Tue Jun 11 2024 Shanye HI love this game. Takes me back to FFTs and Disgaea, but I like that it is based on classes like starcraft and that it is game to game rather than a level-up system. Something new and fun. Their game Card Crusade is also great.
PvP if that’s ur thing
Sun Oct 30 2022 MeatbagicusUnfortunately it’s not mine and I either didn’t understand from the description or made assumptions that it was in the vein of card crusade - which I love and got here from the link in CC. Unlock new characters using multiplayer! Well, I really don’t want to do multiplayer so no new characters for me. A skirmish isn’t a satisfying single player anything.
This game is a gem!
Fri Jun 10 2022 Sir cucumberThere are so few smart asynchronous tactics game, and even fewer on mobile. The developers are responsive, the player community is crushing me (in a good way) and I am grateful that this game exists.
Amazing Strategy Game
Sun Jul 23 2023 Ottermoose GamingAmazing strategies, creative chemistry between characters, asynchronous turns gives you time to think. I love this game a lot (favorite one on my phone 🙂)
