I've been playing Slay since before the iPhone, it stands the test of time. Just like Minesweeper, it is a light, casual game that is sorta puzzley, but in a way that you are never really challenged long enough that you need to put it down. The gameplay is world domination, but really you can just make the computer surrender by breaking its territories up. The challenge comes in balancing growing your territory with defending while also making sure not to level up too quickly or else you won't be able to pay your troops (+1/space, -2/lvl1, -6/lvl2, -18/lvl3, -54/lvl4) Almost never buy the lvl4 dude unless you need to squash a lvl3, but usually you can starve them out. The game comes with enough maps for you to play one a day for over a year and you can buy more interesting shapes if you like it, no nagging, just available. Lots of cool looks/themes, all included.

I've been playing this game for about nine years, starting with a desktop version. Definitely a a great way to pass the time. One suggestion: all the pieces dying from loss of land "starvation" could be changed to 'starvation first for the lowliest pieces'. For example, if a territory has a spearman and a peasant and has 8 hexes, then the hut hex is captured taking the total down to 7 hexes, the peasant would die, but the spearman would survive. Alternatively, if the number of hexes were reduced to 5, the spearman would perish, but the peasant could survive. Either method makes more sense from a thematic point of view than everyone dies. It could be an optional play mode.

I have been in love with this app for months. I played over 200 hours easily, and it will never get old. But I would LOVE to see any update whatsoever.

Tons of fun. I use multiplayer to play as colors other than green when I get bored.

Slay is one of those few reliable games that I can always go back to. Highly recommend classic graphics. It would be nice if the displayed high score was the first turn you could have accepted a surrender. Sometimes I just want to keep playing, but I don't want a score of 30 something when I could have won at 12.

This game is one of my longest played games. Other games come and go, but I still have this one!

I have been playing this game for 8 + years. If you are interested in a solid thinking game not unlike chess this is it. The graphics are simple and so is the game for that matter. But, as you play you realize that the game has nuances of complexity as you move up the levels of difficulty. If you like chess you will love Slay.

I’ve been a longtime fan of this game and have put many hours into it, but am i satisfied with the update for the iPhone X. While the vertical stretch seems like a good thing, the map and unit displays have not been scaled larger properly and leave you stretching very far to reach and makes it more difficult to read the map. Overall still a great game, but some things are left to be desired.

Don’t get me wrong- i absolutely love this game, but the recent “crisp graphics” update is awful. It makes it look like minesweeper & it gives me motion sickness. Please revert to the old graphics.
