So it's good but...
Artos fare
The game has no online play because you can't bring up your key board
It's okay

I got this app because I wanted a "Risk-like" game that I can play with friends on the same device. Pros: -Multiple people on same device -Multiple maps Cons: -The interface is frustrating because when you have to click units on the bottom of the map you have to be careful not to press "attack" or "move" because you'd miss out on your turn -The continent boundaries are unclear during in-game -The territories that you can attack from are unclear if they are not connected. Unless you know the map well (which friends won't) you can get confused. Like what islands connect to which. -Can't change AI difficulty in custom local game Since this app has been out for a long time it seems, I don't expect any meaningful updates anytime soon. But it seems like this app could easily do better.
Odds are imbalanced
BiblePilot
When you attack a computer defender who has 1 army on a country, odds are skewed for that defender to roll a 6 in the first battle. I've played nearly 50 games, and have observed this repeatedly. Otherwise it's a pretty good rendition of Risk.
Basic risk terrible AI

The game itself isn't that bad. I've had a few bugs where territories just disappear from view, usually caused by an add pop up which also inverted the screen. However, the placement algorithm is terrible. You will frequently get all 1s and a couple loaded territories that don't help at all for your best option or are blocked by your own territories so you first turn is essentially a waste to move the bulked up territory. Fix placement and the bugs and I could give a higher score, but terrible placement ruins the game from the start.
Unrealistic
MSchally
I actually enjoyed playing this game in the beginning, however, as time went on I realized how unrealistic it is. The die are definitely not random because you will almost always lose more points than the country you are attacking. There have been way too many instances where I had over 20 points to the CPU's 2 or 3 and I would lose 10-14 points straight and end up getting destroyed because they turn in cards for extra troops. I understand it's supposed to add difficulty but it's just flat out annoying and unrealistic how much more you lose than the CPU's.
Ads
Dfhhhgf
The ads on this app are totally ridiculous. You can’t even close the ads, forces you to close the app several times to close the ad. The game is a lot of fun but not worth the constant harassment. Completely RUINED a fun game with an obscene amount of ads. Game is now trash, won’t play anymore
