8 of 25Can you add a pause feature during replay? Maybe touch the screen to pause.
As the game gets harder, the strategy doesn't get better. The dice are just weighted against the user. No fun. I have run simulations that demonstrate the computer attacks or defends in a sequence of moves that have less than a 2% probability and yet this happens repeatedly. It must be too difficult to program strategy, so the developer just skews the probabilities in the computer's favor.
Game was great but started crashing under 17.4.1. If they fix that it will be great again.
I love this game however, they haven’t update it in a while. It crashes whenever you lose a game. Will not let you restart the game like it used to. Again, it crashes. But I still love to play it.
I really enjoy the game, but there’s a bug that can destroy games. If you get interrupted in the middle of placing armies & the screen locks, then all the armies that you’ve placed will be gone & all you’ll be left with are the unplaced armies. So instead of having 30 armies, you can be left with 5
Account creation does not work making online play impossible
Still the best and lightest Risk-like game for iOS, but it's gone years without modernizing updates. As of 2025, it seems impossible to use online battles due to an error happening upon trying to register a username. No username is registered, no account made etc, no logging in, no playing. Offline modes still work however.
Checkers is more challenging.
