Needs some work – Commander the Great War Review

CTGW is already the definitive iPad game for WW1. Those interested in the subject will no doubt find an approachable, interesting and enjoyable game. The reason this currently gets two stars is because the interface (never a Slitherine strength when it comes to ports) needs some work and show stopping bugs. Regarding the interface, Some menus are hard to see, the text needs to be adjustable. It's also entirely too easy to mis-move a unit and there is no undo button (that I can find at least). It's also distressingly easy to accidentally declare war on someone and several times a turn I am clicking a button that no, I do not in fact want to declare war. But one mis-hit on the two small buttons and there is no turning back. But the biggest problem I have faced are bugs that literally freeze up the game and don't allow you to continue. There is an auto save which allows you to go back a turn but not only have you lost all that time planning your turn. You have to do things significantly different with the hope that whatever logic loop the ai is stuck in doesn't repeat itself. However there is likely no workaround and I have had to abandon two campaigns after dedicating hours upon hours to it. Very frustrating and until fixed, I sadly would not recommend this game to play. Clearly YMMV.
