Report an issueThe classic game of Reversi, also known as Othello, is a much-loved strategy board game. It is often described as taking only a minute to learn but a lifetime to master. Each game only takes a few minutes, making it ideal for playing on the go. It can be played by all ages. This continues to be one of the most sought-after versions of the game for the natural AI when playing against the CPU and the refreshing, crisp style.
FEATURES:
- One or two player mode - Six levels of difficulty from beginner to guru - Each level has its own style of play - Strong computer opponent at higher levels - Fast computer play - Option for suggestions to help improve your game play - Four gorgeously styled boards - Unlimited undo and redo - Scoreboard - Auto-save game in progress - Can listen to your own music whilst playing
"There are several free Reversi games in the app store, but none have the breadth of options or depth of AI of this paid version. AppCraver looks forward to seeing what developer Kiss The Machine comes up with next" - www.appcraver.com
"For those who are serious about playing Reversi and want a serious AI challenge get this one" - mrbass.org best iPhone and iPod Touch games

8 of 25I've downloaded most of the reversi games on the appstore. I keep going back to this one for two reasons: the AI and the graphics. The games are challenging and fun, and the piece flipping animation is really effectively done, especially on the classic board. I play it just to watch it :) Well, not quite. Easily the most played game on my iPhone.
I've had this app for a long time and I have always loved it. App is stable and interface is well thought out. It lets you play reversi without making you "feel like" you're doing it on a device.
Quit whining and learn how to play. The beginner level is a push over.
The interaction is natural and the graphics good. I beat it three times out of three at Beginner level and likewise at Intermediate, but at Advanced level it's diabolical. It lets you think you're winning then destroys your position in four moves. I'm not touching Expert, Master, or Guru levels yet. This game should provide an appropriate level of challenge to nearly all players.
Great graphics and gameplay. Statistics and undo. The only complaint I have is that the animations are TOO SLOW. If it is going animate a piece at a time then it really needs to be twice as fast. Otherwise, keep the current speed and turn over all the pieces at the same time like the other versions of this game.
Despite what some of the reviews here say, it is not too difficult on beginner. It does become quite challenging at higher difficulty levels tho, which is good :)
I hope you don’t pass over this game because it doesn’t have enough stars. I love that it is ad-free. I love the simple settings and interface. I love that you can choose to have available moves highlighted if you want. I love the challenging AI ... I’m around 50% on level 2 (out of 5). I love that it doesn’t connect to the internet. This game is well made and worth the small amount of money they are asking for.
After sifting through half a dozen versions of this game, I really appreciate that Kiss the Machine doesn’t bombard the end user with adds for other games or begs the end user for reviews. This build of reversi is just what I was looking for in a single player app. It’s clean and the AI is fairly challenging on “Advanced”. It doesn’t pull any punches and with three additional skill levels to master (6 total), I’m sure I will have many hours of enjoyment. It features single-player, against AI, and two-player, using the same device. The only down side of this app is that it doesn’t seem to have any on-line game-play, but that doesn’t bother me, so I still give it 5 stars anyway.
