About this game

Slay is a simple to learn game of strategy and cunning set in medieval times. The island is divided up between the six players, and you must try to capture your enemies' land and link up your own territories to create larger and stronger ones. You begin capturing land by attacking with your peasants. Once your territories become richer you can combine peasants to make stronger and stronger people (Spearmen, Knights and then Barons) who can kill weaker enemy troops, or knock down their castles. Just be careful that you don't create too many expensive men or the territory will go bankrupt!

Ratings and reviews

Dumb name, good game. Edit: I'm lowering my rating as it seems at some point 75% of the maps that were included with the game have been removed and changed to additional purchases totalling almost 10x the price of the game. Not only that, but trying to purchase them does nothing, so I couldn't pay to get them back even if I wanted to.

It's a really good concept and fun app (5/5) However, a number of issues really drag it down. If you rotate the screen, the app crashes. If you lock your device and unlock it, the app loses where you were. Additionally, if you happen to be holding a newly purchased piece while this happens, you lose the piece and the money. I don't think I would have purchased the game had I known of these issues

Very simple gameplay. This game is great if you want a simple strategy game to distract you for a bit. I almost refunded it when I first loaded it up because it looks both complicated and cheaply made (the sprites seem a bit... simplistic). Don't worry, it isn't either of those things. This game is brilliantly made to be both simple yet complex at higher difficulties. I'd highly recommend it for strategy games. It's good to see a strategy mobile game with no "idle" aspects to it.
