Ancient Battle: Rome App Reviews

Having started with 1863 & 1862, I am finding this turn based hex war-game very much an excellent short version of the many P.C. games over the past two decades. The add-on campaigns are basically given away at only 99 cents. The music and animations are very good too. All the fans hope H.C. continue to make more of these. Maybe Hannibals elephant forces. Historically he was the only general to beat Rome for 200 years and he did so emphatically, actually annihilating a couple armies sent against him by Rome. In this here game we are in a latter era where Rome did lose from time to time, so it is very playable from either side, such as the British. Boudicca (historical female British leader) managed to completely destroy a Roman army for instance, and one of her famous battles is in this game.

Very nicely done. I have this game and all its related games from these devs, AND all the IAPs :)) A great value. Scales well down to phone size. No bugs. There are not nearly enough of these hex turn-based games on the ipad.

It would be 5 stars but i cant buy in-game purchase

It is pretty bad when I buy a game and hen it still asks me for money just to play it. Cheap game with cheap producers, dont get it

Absolutely love all of the Hunted Cow games. Keep them coming. However, Alexander was running just fine, until the latest update....now it crashes all the time ( I am on an iPad Air)

Well I been looking for a game that is close to Rome total war. Well this game you cant do as much as Rome total war but its a great Roman game you can you tactics and if you dont you sometimes wont win. But it a very great game. The price is really $5.00 to $6.00 because you have to by the others campaign.

Excellent game, please add an in-app purchase for the First and Second Punic Wars of Rome against Carthage. Adding the classic and masterpiece battles of Rome against Hannibal at Trebia, Lake Trasimene and of the climax at Cannae plus the arrival and eventual defeat of Hannibal’s brother and the conclusion at Zama.

A stellar game and surprisingly addictive. I really enjoy the strategy, well designed game mechanics, and thoughtful use of Roman history and units. Ive purchased all of the extra campaigns and am almost finished with them. Hope you produce more.

I have been playing both the civil war and Rome games. They are addicting. My main criticism is that they could be more realistic in that it is too easy to move units in an ad hoc way, flank and rear attacks arent as strong as they could be. The games are a little too easy to win. But all in all, a lot of fun. Would love to see American Revolution!

Too many paywalls. The game is $2 but if you want the full experience than its $7. Which on there part is pretty sad and dont forget tax. But if you decide not to pay another $5 than its good, even though that theres only two campaigns.the battles are turn based for some reason ( dont know what genius decide that ) but if they delete the pay walls, then it will be a better but overall its a decent game that wants to be a money machine.

Very good strategy game! You can actually see the battle take place without playing with cards.

LOTS of different kinds of units, lots of different scenarios with more to buy cheaply. WAY better than civil war 1862 which was a total disappointment and a waste of money. Feels more like the WW2 tank games from this company, which are also excellent.

Great strategy game. Game pieces are well balanced and the difficulties are well suited. There are some basic settings Im hoping would make the next update tho. I prefer the simple look of the game when its viewed all the way out, however in this view you dont get to see the health of the unit. Would be nice if I could play it all the way through in this view. Also a setting to where the game speed is always fast would make this game less annoying. Im always tapping the screen after every move to speed it up as I think it moves too slow otherwise. There than that, the game is great and the IAP for each campaign is cheap and well worth the price. This game is well worth the purchase

Game is very enjoyable to play and is generally balanced but on some rare occasions the A.I. will outright dominate a game scenario from the beginning ensuring a one sided victory. Overall a really good game to play. Time seems to go by quickly while playing, which is often a good sign that a game is worth the initial price if purchase. Only downside is the add-on purchase prices of additional scenarios to play. Im not in favor of games that nickel and dime the purchaser of the game in order to continue to enjoy the initial investment.

Great hex based gaming on the iPhone. I really like history and strategy and youve blended these well. Have you considered a medieval title? Please keep up the great work!

I love this game please keep adding more. Very fun to play and keeps you thinking thx.

Lower campaign prices to get a better rating.

Not bad but lacks the brilliant Roman strategies like testudos, box retreats, layering of legionnaire formations, use of defensive walls, etc. Also leaves out the use of woman and children throwing rocks by the Germanic tribes, use of firebrands and lightning attacks from the forests which are too sparse for much of the terrain they fought in (and which gave their enemies an advantage). Also the Romans were often greatly outnumbered but their discipline and training offset that. 2 other issues - Many of the battles I paid for dont work. This is the 3rd time I rewrote a review. The other 2 were deleted when I was told my nickname was already taken. In case that happens again I copied this one so I dont have to rewrite it again.

It really is a great strategy game

What the heck, guys?! I downloaded the latest update, and now I cannot play the game AT ALL! CRASH, CRASH, CRASH! Fix it, give me a refund, or stop robbing other gamers! What a rip-off!
