Ratings and reviews

Very cool game. Works well and has some good strategy in, but it's not hard to master. Has in game tutorials, few ads (and it's cheap to have them removed). You can have the gameplay last a while longer by trying to beat your own scores (months to goal). If it had a multiplayer aspect, to compare scores or even play with friends, it'd be absolutely perfect. A better, more challenging AI would also be a great addition, because one can simply predict *all* their moves, making it extra easy.

One of the better games I've played on mobile. It's a pretty good experience, at the higher difficulties. The other clans will come for you. They will use their superior tech, numbers, and a bit of tactical smarts to destroy you. You have to be smart and aggressively expand to fight them back. It makes for a real challenge. If you want a challenging tactical experience, play the higher difficulties. Which, to the dev's credit, they let you do right after the tutorial.

First, if y'all didn't already know, every game HNG puts out is awesome. This game seems to improve upon the mechanics of its predecessor. It does two things which I love. 1. It expands strategy to not just be on the battlefield, but on the whole war campaign. Very few games do this and it's awesome. 2. It makes casualties matter. When I played Fantasy Heroes, I challenged myself to have no [or at least minimal] casualties. In this game, minimizing casualties is key in winning the war.
