The Best War Games for Android & iOS

[admin]

If you have ever looked for wargames on your iPad/android device you will know what I mean when I say it’s akin to walking into a swamp to find your wallet.

I would add:

Drive on Moscow

Battle of the Bulge

Coulda sworn PT reviewed Hexwar's Assault on Arnhem but my searches didn't find it.

I've never played much UniWar but many like it.

I wish I could add Hearts of Iron but alas...

Ah, good point. I couldn't remember if they'd been swept up in Slitherine's Appocalypse or not, but will make a note of them for next time.

I think we reviewed Assault on Arnhem for Wargamer, not so sure about PT, I will check for you. I seem to remember we thought it was ok though, nothing special so not necessarily a 'Best' candidate, but it can certainly be listed.

Heroes of Normandie is also a good one
And Battle academy 1 and 2

Keep in mind that Slitherine games do not make an effort to upgrade their games for IOS11. So games like Panzer Corp and Battle Academy only work on older tablets. Conversely, Hexwar games have been upgrading their games to IOS 11 so if you have these titles on older devices, you need to ignore the updates. The updates will actually cause your tablet to crash if you tried downloading them.

Panzer corps works on ios 11.

My bad, I was thinking of Commander The Great War. Throw in Pike and Shot, Hell, and Qvardiga while we are at it....

I did a bunch of analysis before Apple cut off all 32-bit apps on iOS. My list of dead iOS games from Slitherine is:

Battle Academy
Battle Academy 2
Hell
Pike & Shot
Commander The Great War
Qvadriga
History Egypt
Great Battles Medieval
Magnifico (formerly Da Vinci Art of War, IIRC)
Conquest! Medieval Realms

I was a big fan of the Battle Academy games. Losing the BA series (and the other games that used the BA engine) was pretty painful. It's just that Slitherine is a small company with limited resources. Believe me, I badgered them a great many times, but the honest answer is that they'd never make back the significant investment for rebuilding and re-testing the BA engine.
