I didn't think such a game could exist on the Android platform. Even now, after spending HOURS with the game I still only barely scratched the surface. UniWar HD is like a great turn based strategy game of old, focusing on combat and base capture. While there is no diplomacy or other advanced options here, the game is still outstanding.
The premise of this app is both simple and complex. You have to take over the map by eliminating your opponents (up to EIGHT players at the same time) and capturing their (or neutral) bases. You must carefully use the units at your disposal to outmaneuver and gang up on your enemies, destroying them mercilessly. By taking these bases you will be awarded with more money each turn, allowing you to build more units, and laugh manically as your army rolls over the competition. If you do your job, you will crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
There are three races in the game: The Kraleans, The Sapiens, and The Titans. Each race has completely unique units (eight of them) with different strengths, weakness, and abilities. The races are extremely well balanced, although my personal favorite so far are the Sapiens (Humans). I won't tell you why, because I think it will spoil your discovery moments with the game, which I also found fun.
The graphics and sound here are as good as they need to be for a TBS game. The hexes are adequate enough to represent the terrain you are on and the units look good. The sound effects and music are also very satisfying. My only wish is that units and tiles were a bit more animated. While units do fidget from time to time, and there are attack (and base) animations - the tiles themselves are very bland. Spicing these up will go a long way because players spend a lot of their time staring at them.
UniWar HD really is the complete package. There are plenty of options, including a very detailed Help option that will inform you on some of the more advanced tactics of the game. I suggest you go through it (or the campaign first) before jumping online because they will go over such things as medical bases, gang up bonuses, repairing, special abilities, etc. I made the mistake of venturing online first and got utterly annihilated (within a minute).
Speaking of online mode, this is where the game shines. Up to eight players can play simultaneously, and you can have multiple games going while you wait for them to make their move (I advise against this until you have a better grasp of the game). You can play anonymously or make an account, I suggest you sign up with UniWar for the sake of record keeping. Feel free to give them bogus info if you are concerned about privacy. Using this account you can check detailed statistics on your wins, losses, ladder position, etc. Very cool and handy!
If online is not your cup of tea, you can play against the AI and/or the excellent campaign which actually has a somewhat interesting story. There is also the wonderful vs. mode, where you can play against your friends on the same phone (think hotseat option from PC TBS games). It's a great feature that gives UniWar HD a lot more bang for the buck.
I can't say enough good things about this game. I absolutely love that they didn't use spyware infested junkware like OpenFeint or Scoreloop. Everything (such as scorekeeping, progression, leader boards, etc) is handled in-game here, so there are no unnecessary permissions. Good job devs!
If I knew such a game existed, I would gladly pay full price for it. While steep at $4.99, it is very, very worth it if you at all enjoy turn based strategy games. This is quite simply the best FAOTD that Amazon has had in a while. Go ahead and download it while it's free, and buy it if it's not. This game is amazing and will provide you with countless hours of entertainment (there are thousands of maps and the online community is HUGE).
I love the basic idea of this game. The gameplay is pretty fun and well polished. The races are balanced and each has very distinct advantages over each other. The solo campaign is basically a tutorial with a good learning curve.
The problem is that the solo campaign never goes beyond being a tutorial. Once you learn how to use all the units, you have a couple missions and it's over just like that. It should be at least 3 times as long as it currently is! There are challenge missions too, but they're kinda bland.
It seems like the dev wants players to use the campaign to learn the game and then jump straight to the online play. Problem is, not everybody wants to play online games or is even able to. My advice to the dev would be to greatly expand the solo campaign for those who prefer single players. Even if it comes in the form of a low-cost DLC, which I honestly may be willing to pay for.
I really enjoyed this game and wish there was more of it.
it's a fun game to play but it drains battery quick. make sure you have a full battery when you start playing.
I'm running on a Gnex with stock 4.0.4 ROM.
***EDIT 9/21/2012***
lowering my rating from 4 stars to 1 star.
a few days after installing this game i received a replacement phone in the mail from verizon and when i set it up i couldn't find UniWar HD in the list of 'MyApps' in the Amazon appstore app. went to Amazon on my PC and looked it up, the game is still listed on the site as 1 of my apps, but now says it's not compatible w/ any of my devices. emailed the dev on Aug 30th and as of today still have not received an answer. i started a discussion here on the Amazon site about this and quickly found that there are many others having this same issue. i've even found a post in the UniWar forums about it, but no response from the devs there either, this shows how much they care about their users. i will never give them any money for an app in the future based on this experience. be careful!
This brings back memories, I used to play this game on Symbian! It always reminded me of Advance Wars which is why I got it in the first place. A fun turn based strategy with online multiplayer that's starting to show its age, but still a really great game. It was free on February 3, only a bonehead with an inflated sense of entitlement would give it less than five stars.
Como um jogo de xadrez, Uniwar é um dos primeiros jogos que instalei no meu celular. O modo campanha é muito bom para aprender, mas o melhor mesmo é a capacidade multiplayer "desincronizada" - ou seja, voce pode jogar em turnos com pessoas do mundo inteiro sem que o seu oponente esteja conectado.
Trois races au fonctionnement similaire sur le principe mais possédant chacune son propre gameplay, relativement équilibrées, plus de paramètres à prendre en compte qu'il n'y parait : types d'unités, efficacité de chaque unité contre d'autres types d'unités, influence du terrain, tant en termes de mobilité que d'attaque et de défense, permettant parfois à des soldats de base de prendre l'ascendant sur des unités normalement plus puissantes par exemple, et forçant le joueur à réfléchir à leur placement. Le background est très "inspiré" de StarCraft il faut l'admettre, les graphismes en 2D sont simples mais agréables. La bande son est basique mais fait le job. Quant aux cartes elles sont à l'image du jeu : simplifiées et réduites pour coller à un usage mobile mais finalement assez riches et aux possibilités variées. Il y a encore du monde sur le multi et certains joueurs vétérans représenteront un vrai challenge. Quant au solo, la campagne est en fait un gros didactitiel pour chaque race, agréable pour apprendre les bases. Le reste s'acquière avec l'expérience et l'encyclopédie intégrée, très complète et entièrement traduite en français. Un plus énorme je trouve Seul regret : une solo mal exploité. Utile pour s'entrainer en 1v1, mais on ne peut combattre contre plus d'un seul bot. Exit donc les matchs à plus de deux ou en équipe, à moins de créer une partie multi et d'insérer des bots à la place des joueurs, mais dans ce cas on ne peut combattre que contre une seule race, et il faut encore attendre qu'ils daignent vous rejoindre (en multi chaque bot a son petit nom, son propre classement, mais ce ne sont que des Kraleans). Notons enfin un éditeur de cartes facile à prendre en main. La majorité des parties non-classées se fait d'ailleurs sur des cartes amateur, de très bonne facture. Les matchs classés vous imposeront une race et une carte officielle. Le tour par tour impose d'attendre régulièrement, mais on peut jouer de nombreuses parties en simultané et être prévenu par mail chaque fois que c'est son tour (j'aurais quand-même préféré un système de notifications dédié). Et le jeu a l'air suivi par les développeurs. Bref le concept est facile à apprendre, difficile à maitriser et finalement très solide. C'est une excellente surprise malgré quelques petits défauts. Personnellement je suis devenu assez vite accroc, là où j'abandonne souvent très vite les jeux sur mobile.
Juegazo, estrategia por turnos en el que vas creando unidades con diferentes tipos de ventajas. Lo que dice la gente de que el modo campaña acaba pronto es pq el modo campaña te enseña nivel a nivel las nuevas habilidades. Luego te queda el modo online infinito para jugar con gente. Muy adictivo. La única pega que no está en español.
Don't pay any heed to the illiterates reviewing this app as difficult or having a steep learning curve, it's just text heavy but extremely intuitive and very much in the vein of advance wars or fire emblem, units are very cool looking. I haven't tried online so this is a preliminary 5 stars!! Nice job devs!
