About this game

Just Risk It is a game of chance and strategy, similar to the classic board game of Risk. The goal is to gain territory by attacking your opponents, and eliminate them one-by-one. The last one remaining is the winner.

The latest release includes 25 unique missions that you can play. Each mission has specific challenges and obstacles that puts a twist on regular play. For example, one mission requires you to conquer at least one country on each round. Another mission has the computers forming a loose treaty and ganging up on you.

In free play mode, the game allows up to 6 players, which can be either human or computer. For the computer players, you can choose between easy, medium, or hard difficulty, where each one uses a different playing strategy.

Ratings and reviews

Love Risk, & have played a lot of versions. I tried it for a week playing only the computer. Well it was ok. The game cheats alot, when 7 - 10 armies can't beat 2 or even take one them away, on a regular basis, it's time to find another version to play. Also, if you have say three territories in South America or three of four in Australia, even if the cpu has one territory with one army on it chances are the cpu will take it from you 9 of 10 games. It's just not realistic play. It's very tough!

Interesting game, has kept me occupied. Couple of things about the AI. It doesn't improve at all with level of difficulty. All the opponents play rather dumbly, relentlessly trying to make a Continent with barely a couple of armies. In one move they are on the verge of annihilation, but the moment they get 3 armies they try to take over N America. It's easy to win through levels once you realize how these armies work.

Found a bug. If you have just taken a territory and you go to press Move All, if you accidentally hit the Android "back" button (the triangle) which is right next to Move All it will take you back to main menu. You can get back to the game by pressing Resume Game...but the problem is you've lost all the armies you would have moved to your new territory. Not a big deal for 3 or 4 armies. But if you had 20 or 30 armies...it could cost you the game. Just thought I'd share.
