Potential but not there yet – Tiny Armies Review

The concept for the game is alright and it is true that it’s easy to pick up and play but there’s a few flaws that I think outweigh the positives. The gameplay involves swiping to move your pieces in an attempt to “capture” enemy pieces. As others have mentioned the levels are random each time. Even when you restart a level you get a new random level so there isn’t really an opportunity to learn how to “beat” a particular puzzle. It’s a big stretch to call this a “puzzle” game because of that. The AI is also laughable sometimes - clearly making bad moves that allow you to win when there would be better options. Also for some reason when you get to the second “stage” or whatever you call it they introduce a “fog of war” mechanic where you literally can’t see any part of the board and you’re forced to just make random moves and hope that it works out. I’m not sure how that can be classified as strategy.
