Brilliant strategy games live on Too many of us old gamers are exhausted sifting through all the multiplayer & pay-to-win games, when all we want sometimes is a good old fashioned challenge. Hoplite gets it done! The complexity & replayability are astounding, considering how basic Hoplite might appear at first glance! After an hour of pure enjoyment, I purchased the premium upgrade as a thanks to to developers. The added unlockable skills greatly vary the replayability, & I can't suggest highly enough.

Hoplite is my personal favourite in the store. It can be played forever, makes one think and yet it's pace is relaxed. Very light-weight and remembers game progress: perfect for playing whenever and for however long. Completely ad-free. Offers tons of content for free and blows one's mind with the quantity of additional content for a low-priced, single-time purchase. Well worth it! :)

Short fun Returned the fleece on the second run. Required some thinking though, so its still cool. Love the mechanics! But i dont see the appeal of purchasing in order to unlock extra skills for making further descends viable. Everything past the fleece just seems to be arcade-style 'see how deep you can get', and that just seems pointless to me. Lacking content there, from my perspective.

Smart, Tough & Addictive Love Hoplite! Clever design with a steady difficulty curve. Occasional bug in the random level generator, where you or your spear are stranded if you run out of energy, but not a showstopper by any means. Free version is pretty much the complete game (with no ads or microtransactions), but happy to pay the premium for unlocking achievements and challenge mode.

Simple pixel art aesthetics, simple rules with tons of depth, huge replayability, highly addicting, no randomness, never nagged for money..what more to ask? You never feel cheated in this game, every death is your own fault, learning how to not die is natural and progressive. Nice challenges and achievements. Really. A great game, highly recommended.

Frederik Coomans

My favourite game :D It's a great strategy game! The tutorial needs a tiny expansion though. An explanation about the combat sequence would make world of difference for new players. Most people that give a bad rating don't understand the game's combat mechanics and you need to get used to it. My tip to make things easier: turn on fat finger mode in the opinions menu.

Best $3 i've spent. The first 16 levels are there to build your character, after that is where the game starts as far as i'm concerned. Go as far as you can. Hundreds of challenges. Achievements. Great gameplay. Worth every penny if you like strategy games.

Fabian Di Martino December 14, 2016

Straight up Brilliant This game might be the most playtime I've ever gotten out of ~$3. The game is tactical, creative, and fun. The achievements are meaningful and give a sense of advancement. The challenges are tough. Every move counts. It's simple, and it's great. This game is everything that I wanted out of a mobile strategy game.

Seth Marsh July 26, 2016

This is an example of a single-player mobile strategy game executed perfectly. It combines simple mechanics in a way that creates complex and satisfying gameplay. Because it's a rogue-like you have to master the mechanics and carefully choose your moves to succeed, rather than just memorizing an optimal path. I tip my cap to the developer for managing to produce a procedurally generated strategy game that never feels unfair; every death felt like a mistake on my part rather than being the victim of an impossible situation. If you like Fire Emblem, FF Tactics, Shining Force, etc., then this game is a must-play.

Great game! But seriously, could further explain how attacks work? I go to an adjacent space to an enemy but i dont get to attack? Really frustrating.

Tamrin Vincent December 19, 2016

This game is perfect for training logic It will need 1 or 2 minutes to even make a single turn if you are deep enough. Very challenging. But I think the price for premium is too expensive?

Mathias Farrell May 17, 2017

Why tf would I throw a spear at melee range. I'd stab the pixel archer… its a six foot spear thats 9 feet of range, plenty to poke a wizards sac of spell components lol other than that, me likes

Ali Tinai August 27, 2016

Good retro game No annoying ads, and the game doesn't beg you to buy anything. It also reminds me of old games, where you restart your entire progress if you lose (no microtransactions to save/annoy you here).

Sennoma Uzanto March 3, 2017

Awesome strategy game. If you have to kill some time, this app is perfect. No pay to win and no random things. Just simple strategy. You can pay to get an extra game mode and more prayers which really is worth the money.

John Dorian Cunanan April 30, 2017

Good strategy game. You'll suckat first and die alot of times. But its the experience of the death that makes you a better player. All about positioning and strategizing. Not a hack n slash game. More on chess rpg kinda style

Jonathan Parrington June 9, 2016

Perfect game, a well designed roguelike and it is well worth upgrading to the full game, but even if you dont there is plenty of fun to be had. No ads, no microtransactions and a really solid game. How it should be done. Probably the only game on the play store I would give 5 stars to.

Brenton B June 30, 2016

Good, short I got to the fleece on level 16 and then paid $3 to unlock more content. What I didn't realize was that this was pretty much it for the game. Pros: very solid mechanics, does a few things well rather than a lot poorly, portrait interface. Cons - once you get to the bottom of the dungeon, the only thing left is challenges which start to get old. At this point, the games limited mechanics turn from a strength into a weakness. Bottom line - solid game, download it, and consider the inapp purchase to supportDev

Cool little game. Devilishly hard and will catch you off guard My only gripe is that it's sometimes hard to know what will happen between you, items (bombs, spears), and other entities (enemies) if you move to a certain square--the interactions or mechanics of things aren't always 100% clear. You do figure it out eventually, but I would appreciate an "encyclopedia" of mechanics/interactions that you could refer back to an any time. Other than that, this is a great game. Simple, creative, and challenging.

Adam Nellis April 25, 2016

Loved it - well worth the price Brilliant, fun tactical game. No adds, and doesn't nag you to buy the paid version. This is how mobile games should be! The paid version is well worth the price. You get loads of challenges and achievements.

Alex Teutsch February 22, 2017

Amazing game. Very well designed, and we'll executed. Incredibly addictive. Only thing is I wish it had an unending mode, where you don't stop getting upgrades after level 15.

Nathan Sprangers December 23, 2016

Fun but short The first 16 levels were challenging and fun, but once I beat them it wasn't that fun to replay them. So it's a fun game but didn't keep my attention for long.

May 8, 2016

One of the best games on Android Simple to start, difficult to master. Rewards thinking and planning. Paid for version expands the game with challenges and skill unlocks - really worth paying for.

Jean-François Pruneau July 10, 2016

Straight-forward roguish chesslike fun. Worth trying. Complete tutorial within 3 min, and get hooked afterwhile. This is problem-solving merged with the satisfaction of killing demons.

KC Wong May 12, 2016

A minor bug If you switched apps while in the middle of a challenge, after some time you resume the game, you will lose access to your gifts. Things like wizard beam or leap slam would be most noticable.

Luis Palacios April 2, 2017

Half rogue-lite, half puzzle, all fun! The full unlock provides tons of levels and challenges.

Ludwig Denker August 19, 2017

Good game but it would be great if you could name the enemies something else. Because you know... "Demon" is a Christian supremacist construct and not everybody playing this game is a Christian. Thank you.

CHRIS STEBELTON July 4, 2017

Fun! Nice time killer. Entertaining and engrossing. However i could make better progress if when i moved to attack my guy actually attacked instead of get hit.

Lil Makkx August 2, 2017

Could be better. Try to randomize the starts. And sometimes, the AI of the enemies is ridiculous, killing themselves Quite addictive game though

TheOnlyMaggiePonce November 14, 2016

Truly cool game Free till floor 16, but, why would you go premium if you can be crowned and live your days in glory? Screw further fighting!

Keith Garmire July 6, 2016

Quick & Fun Enough content to stave off monotony, and paced fast enough that you can (usually) finish within 10 minutes. I appreciate that.

Bertold Héjja September 28, 2016

Not work properly on Xiaomi Redmi note 3 The letters are too big so sometimes it just runs off the display. Please fix

Gairik Dey May 1, 2017

This is the type of game that defines "retro". It's challenging and to say the truth one of the best strategy-rp games I have ever played on android. The small size is just icing on the cake. Good Job Guys!

Jonny Ramsden February 20, 2017

Great game! Really simple concepts but has great depth/replayability - it almost feels like a puzzle game or chess. I really like the challenge mode where you get to play around with all the upgrades that are too hard to get and in a nice short format so you don't waste too much time!

Har Dryv January 16, 2017

AwesomeSauce My favorite thing in a game app is good design and this one is tops -- I consider it the chess of Rogue-styled adventure. Had it for years and I still play frequently.

Walter Bell July 22, 2016

Fun, but Rather repetitive since as soon as you die you have to restart. Should put in saving or checkpoints every few levels

Esalga R April 22, 2016

Hours of gameplay Rogue like and you can play without Internet access. It's worth much more than its price.

Filipe Governa December 24, 2016

Like it Good role-playing game with Google Play Game Features including Google Cloud Sync and good presentation, too bad no immersive full screen. Exemplary permissions (none).

Samer Kurdi September 18, 2016

Great Been playing for a very long time almost daily. Simple yet excellent. Anyone knows of another turn based game similar to this that they recommend?

Jordan Roberts May 29, 2016

Best of old and new New strategy, great retro graphics, fun characters and cool weapon upgrades. Considering buying the premium version (which I have never done on an app before).

Nicholas Adam November 15, 2016

Great chess style game. Perfect phone game. I do believe some achievements, such as Demon Partisan, are practically, if not totally impossible. -1 star for that.
