Confusing
Answerboss

I'm not the best at these kinds of games, but this just way too confusing. It doesn't even give you a tutorial. Don't waste your money.


As in depth as the Pc, and easier to use
Cover system fan

The game is one of the best strategy games on mobile, right up there with breach and clear. The gameplay is an exact replica of the PC, and once you get the hang of it, the UI is super easy to use. Cross platform multiplayer seals the deal as the best strategy game of 2015


Awesome

Amazing strategy game


Buy Frozen Synapse!!

I played this game ipad for 15+ hours, it does not disappoint. Campaign is detailed and challenging, online play is incredibly fun and since its turn based you can put your device down and come back to a game at any time. The UI might be a bit overwhelming as they are cramming the functionality of a full PC game into an iPhone, but keep with it and you'll be rewarded with a wonderfully in depth, challenging, and satisfying game with infinite replayability. Stop reading and start playing.


Mind-blowing

This title, which has been ported from the PC, offers hours of tactical gameplay, and is one of the only mobile ports not hindered by touch screen controls.


Don't Know What to Do
Qwedgeonline

This game is stylish, but I don't know what I'm doing. There are a lot of controls that you can't tell what they do, and there is no tutorial to explain what anything does. The first mission simply says "Eliminate all enemies within 15 turns" and then leaves you to figure things out. Which you won't do. Because you don't know how to play.


Sweet strategy game

This game has a steep learning curve, but when you learn its mechanics it's easy.


One of the greatest strategy games of all time

I've played this on the PC and iPad, but being able to carry this game around in my pocket is amazing. This game is nearly perfect. Simple in all the right ways and complex in all the right ways. *Watch the tutorial videos!!* It may seem complicated at first, but once you understand the game it's actually surprisingly easy to play.


Synapse

Don't get this game and expect to know everything immediately. There is a lot of learning involved with it, and it will take time to learn everything about. It's true that there is no tutorial, but the help section teaches everything you need to know.


Excellent port of an excellent game!

Played this game a lot on the pc and love it just as much on the iPhone. Was initially afraid the screen would be too small but it turned out to be excellent! Great fluid game mechanics. I love this game and highly recommend it!
