About this game

Feud is a turn-based strategy game made by some guys you haven't heard of yet. Originally a board game designed by Dave Cordell, it's been polished and tweaked and generally mucked about with to bring it to the glowing screen you're reading this description on. Unless you printed it out? Think of the trees. Please.

CONDENSED ABSTRACT STRATEGY
Imagine chess, but on a four-by-four grid, where pieces are swapped rather than moved, each piece has its own special ability and--

OK, not so much like chess. What you can expect is a highly condensed little abstract strategy game which is easy enough to learn but quite tricky to get good at. The AI still beats us sometimes. The computers are winning. Please get good at Feud so we can beat them.

FREE AND CROSS-PLATFORM
Feud is free to play and has full cross-platform play between Android, iOS, PC, Mac and Linux. This means you can play Feud at your boring job, then on the bus on the way home from your boring job, then on your computer at home while you recover from your boring job.

Please note that we do not recommend playing Feud during your commute if you walk to work, especially if you live in a city with lots of open manhole covers which is pretty much what I imagine New York to be like. I dunno, I've never been.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME MUCH ABOUT THIS GAME YET, TO BE HONEST
I'm not very good at this. Sorry. Anyway, look, the game's free and only a couple of hundred megabytes. You might as well, really.

Ratings and reviews

It's a great, original game! Graphics are extremely polished. Importantly, it distills down game play well for a phone's form factor, and is simple to both play one handed and to pick up and put down. Problem is rules need more fleshing out. They get too restrictive; an isolated piece can't be used at all cuts off a lot of plays. Also, black always first gives the AI a leg up. And you should be able to choose all pieces' starting positions, not just king (AI does). I'd pay, just not subscribe.

A surprisingly captivating puzzle game that I really enjoy. Sort of a unique blend of an rpg and a chess game if that makes sense. It's a bit outside of my usual comfort zone these days as I tend to struggle with focus, multitasking and details. However I really like Fued. It's pretty challenging for me and certainly complex but not to the extent of being so frustrating or disappointing that you give up. It's actually very rewarding. Just give it some time and you will catch on.

It's free and it's an interesting concept. But it's just not for me. No solo missions. Just a template to play a chess-like game. If you adore chess you can check it out. For me it does need at least like 10 solo missions to be in any way interesting. The graphics are weird. It's hard to see what is shooting and what action you are taking. They do need to improve that.

What's new

This is a small bugfix patch to 2.2.0, which added Portuguese support. We've fixed a rather horrible crash bug - sorry about that!
