About this game

Fight a word battle with friends and strangers online using your lexical prowess. This multiplayer game requires the use of both vocabulary knowledge and strategy to win against your opponent. Battlexic is a combination of such board/puzzle games as a word search, territory control, Chess, and Reversi. The game is very addictive and challenging regardless of the simple rules. Battlexic is a social game since you are playing real people and can interact with them using the built-in chat.

HOW TO PLAY:

Initially, the board has the top row of letters in red and the bottom row in blue.

The game is played by two players - one starting at the top row (red) and the other at the bottom (blue).

Players make a move by searching for a word that starts on the letter with the player's color.

The words can form in any direction as long as the squares are not used more than once per move.

Once a valid word that has not been played before is found, the squares with the word's letters turn to the color of the player.

The goal of the game is to play a word such that one of its letters is on the opposite side of the board. Whoever does this first, wins!

The strategy to win the game is to form words so that they get closer and closer to the other side of the board. But you also must make sure you don't let your opponent reach your side of the board by capturing the squares with the opponent's color or disconnecting them in which case they turn back to white.

Ratings and reviews

I think it's a great concept, but needs to be polished. One thing that definitely needs addition/clarification, is that there should be timed matches and say mail-matches. If it's a time match, the opponent should not be their waiting for the other to move for more than a a min or so. Been playing with a few people, looking forward to revamps. =)

A great break from fast paced games. Unlike many word-based games, Battlexic allows for strategic moves, surprises, unexpected turns, and major blunders that can cost you a hundred-turn game. You don't need an extensive vocabulary or great spelling skills (though both help) to win. In a similar predicesor game my young son taught himself strategies and the patience to try different letter combinations which allowed him to consistently beat older opponents.

Couldn't play with my friend, invite didn't work: - When pressing the 'invite friend' button, nothing happened (expected: pop-up to choose on which social media app to share) - Didn't work on either of our devices - No option to copy the invitation and send it manually as an alternative
