Shogun's Empire: Hex Commander

This game is one of my all-time favorite mobile games, and I think it has so much potential to become one of those big grand strategy games on PC or console. Just please keep adding new stuff. I would be so sad if you stopped updating it. Speaking of adding new stuff, I have a few ideas, if you don’t mind. Number one: I think it would be cool if you made the map bigger and added more factions. In doing so, I think you should add the island of Kyushu. Number two: I also think you should find a way to add naval combat and ships. I think this would be really fun and interesting. Number three- I also think that you should find a way to make it so that you can have 30 units in an army. Giant hex battles would be really cool. Number Four - I think it would be really cool if different events happened each month. Bad or good. For example, it is January, you receive a message that because of harsh snows, the monkey population has moved into our villages and towns. They are smart and mischievous and are causing trouble for our clan. Should introduce a bounty ? Or let them stay. If you introduce a bounty you will lose some money over the next few days and your honor would decrease. But if you let them stay, when spring and summer come, rice will become more expensive because much of it is stolen from the monkeys. This is a bit of a silly example but you get the idea. Thank you for making this game. You Rock.

The game forces you to watch advertisement videos from time to time. Otherwise, it is overall a fun game to sink your time into. Fortunately, the videos can be skipped after five seconds, but these ads are little too invasive for me, and as result, I am quitting after almost two hours of play. If the advertisement videos don’t bother you and you’re looking for simple tactics strategy mixed in with economy management and minor city development, this game is for you! The overworld map and army group(s) are similar to Total War: Shogun II, but the combat is styled after tactics gameplay and played on a multi-hexagonal field. The game is free but offers premium purchases for those who would like access extra content, such as bonus resources and premium units. I don’t blame them for their choice of having ads played in game though since it is a free game of surprising quality!

(I wish Apple would not let customer ONLY give Star rating w/o qualifying text. As many of us know, customer’s with rate an app poorly for some pretty ridiculous reasons. It would help other customers in deciding whether to get the app.) I have no idea how I missed SE:HC! I’m still just getting into the SE:HC. The graphic quality is very good. Configurability is adequate. Camera’s zoom range is very good (many developers blow on this feature). The one thing lacking, so far, is the ability to rotate the camera’s perspective to more easily see behind game object’s. It’s not bad. It would just be better. Everything is laid out logically. Adequate game assistance. In game ads are infrequent, so far iOS game related, and before I paid the 99 cents to turn ads off, never appeared during game play. I was afraid turning ads off would stopped voluntary ad watching to get free(real money wise) gold but it didn’t. You just see a small, discrete icon in the very bottom left of the screen. Intelligently done I am released to say. So far this looks like a good game. I’ll update this review after I’ve played it more but, for my tastes, looks very promising.
