A WAY TO SMASH: Turn-Based Hit – Action Game Review
A WAY TO SMASH: Turn-Based Hit is a Action/Adventure game from VLADISLAV VASILEV, first launched in 24th May 2023.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 1,011+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes A WAY TO SMASH: Turn-Based Hit Stand Out
A Way To Smash is not just fighting, where you kill enemies and fight opponents. Each level here is the real puzzle! The game is a unique genre where 3d action and logic are mixed together.
A SEA OF CONTENT
150 varied levels and fights with enemies of different complexity are waiting for you. Complete all puzzles! Master your tactic and logic skills or experience the beauty of action games using a solid combat arsenal – you choose the strategy to win!
CHARACTERS
You can play as a viking, a hitman or even a samurai from the world of cyberpunk. And that’s not all of the available characters! Earn points for each battle and unlock more of them. Each character has a unique appearance and a weapon. Take a gun, a bat or a sword to attack your enemies and make your fights unforgettable!
A UNIQUE GAMEPLAY
A strategy and logic is all you need to win, but if you’re tired of puzzles and just want to have a good fight in the arena – don’t worry! Use free powers to pass any difficult battle and enjoy realistic physics of fights!
FIGHTING TECHNIQUE
Choose different characters and get new guns to your arsenal. All characters have their own free abilities. You can shoot, use a shield or kill several enemies at once, be it a boss or a common opponent, and a samurai lets you be invisible like a ninja, so the enemies don’t react after your turn.
BOOSTERS AND ASSISTANCE
Diversify your games using one of the powers, which impact on the game is hard to exaggerate: if you have a bomb – make a blast, and the power “Path” will show you the way to win the battle. Earn money fighting enemies, get powers and use free characters abilities!
USER-FRIENDLY
Fast learning lets you get used to the game, and if you just search for simple relaxing games then A Way To Smash is the best option among lots of fighting games, because you can fight enemies with no internet in offline mode. You will have a good time even without wifi!
GRAPHICS
Dive into the 3d world where nothing can distract you from fighting. Incredible sound effects, realistic fight physics and high-quality animation will make you feel satisfied in this wonderful fighting game.
A Way To Smash is free and suitable for devices with no internet.
An improved version of beloved A Way to Slay from the creators of Glory Ages: Samurais and Slash of Sword.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Fun game, pisses us off the majority of the time but challenges our dumb brain hella.
It saddens us to say that we will now be deleting this game due to excessive ads; the optional ad experience was one that differentiated this game from the rest on the app store, but as of 11/6/2025, it seems that has been switched out for ads everytime you restart a level. In this systematic game, restarting happens very often, and meticulously determining routes to get all three stars on every level was this games greatest joy. However, that experience is now ruined by the choice to switch to regular, non-optional advertising, which ruins the beautiful flow and clean playthrough this game had.
Great game for strategy, nice coding.
This game is so detailed and really addictive and this game deserves more popularity.
This game is fun and easy to learn with well made mechanics and and pretty decent graphics. One of the things we love about the game is that it didnt have a repetitive amount of ads the only ads Ive ever came across was just a pop up we can click x and we can play the game. The only thing we wish is that all the levels had different scene/rooms to make the atmosphere more appealing and give off an feeling of danger and more of an idea of where your actually at. Over all a great game and we recommend at least trying it out.
This game is challenging and rewarding, a great way to kill some time.
Very fun we like the glass shattering sound.
The game is great when your bored or in a place with no WiFi.
Just a great time IMO, Im planning on unlocking everything and getting every achievement, cause Im him.
This game doesnt push 30 second ads! A Way To Smash is a great quick puzzling game that has 150 rounds with many solutions to get your brain working! The graphics and animations are high quality and to us it is obvious the developers are putting in lots of effort. We highly recommend it.
Super awesome game. We play all the time during our train commute.
This game is absolutely amazing.
An actual chill and fun game :).
Good amount of content and decently engaging gameplay thats rewarding and satisfying.
This game is very good like the title says it is very puzzling and it even helps you out if you get enough coins for power up's but if you dont know how to they should have a skip button the thing we like most is the characters you unlock and the ability for it to show you how to pass the level thats why this is getting a good rating.
We love the graphics and stuff like that. Really the only thing would be the animation. Other than that, its kinda bussin.
This game is a nice break when you have downtime that is exciting enough to play but calm enough that you actually think through what youre doing in a meaningful way. We also like that the ads are no profuse. The way the the game scales is not baity and cost-necessary either which is nice. It feels like a game that you can pick up and put down as you please. Its even un-downloaded and Ive come back to it and play it more than ever now.
We feel like the double tap method could be turn into a target and button function and would feel a bit more comfortable on smaller screens. However, thats just our opinion but we still enjoy the game.
We have to think hard in this we love that if there were no ads than it would be a 5 star.
With the quest that requires you to take a screenshot. Whenever we do. It doesnt give us the achievement.
Love the graphics and the concept just wish there were finishing animations.
Fun but ads annoying not unplayable though.
We Recommend trying it, although it gets boring quick.
We wish a few mechanics were different but this game is great been glued reminds us of superhot.
Game mechanics are great, strategic play style is fun. But some levels are literally impossible without extra gadgets or moves that cost currency.
Lots of fun and challenge. Not only that but the graphics are nice and crisp.
Excellent game. More fun than we thought it would be.
This is a very refreshing game!, we actually highly enjoy it. This game is like a mix between street fighter and a puddle game. CHECK IT OUT.
We love the game its so fun but if there were more levels and characters it would be so much funnier and Im not saying you have to do it.
Helps us relax after college classes.
Really happy with the gameplay and love the graphics.
This is a great stress reliever.
This game is great. We chill out and watch youtube videos while playing this on the side. We suffer from mega-low-attention-span-osis. And frankly this game beats literally 98% percent of other games on the app store. Most games nowadays are made with minimum effort, but we can tell when true love and care is put into a game. Perfect for if your bored on a road trip. Love this game. Download it.
We first saw the game on the Apple Store. But then, we thought it was gonna be one of those games where it throws adds 24/7. Like every one to two levels. First a saw achievements. We love those. There quite funny. Then the ads dont really appear as often. Like every 5 levels which we like. Its a great game, nice mechanics, and well thought out.
Im actually surprised at how much fun we had with this game. Graphics are fairly unique and the puzzle element to some smashy-smash is pretty addictive. Probably the nicest thing though is the advertising isnt obtrusive.
Makes you think and fun to play.
This game is a great time passer!!! Great on the bowl game.
Enjoying the game so far, its similar to a game we played on Xbox but with using a shooter weapon.
The game is easy to learn and the puzzles are fun. Graphics arent too bad for a mobile game based on what you do. Like most puzzle games its more about the game than the look which is fine. The music is cool.
Im enjoying the mix of puzzles and fighting, but personally, we wouldve liked it more without the puzzle aspect of it.
Makes you think of how to deal with different strategic decisions. You can only move once but so can your enemies. You are outnumbered but you are fast. You need to be able to judge and execute quickly.
It would make the game so much better.
Simple, fun, and not annoyingly stupid like most free games. Nice to kill time and chill with.
Super cool game, we like the mechanics and animation.
A puzzle game that still gives you the cathartic joy of smashing things. The puzzles are straightforward but tricky, so far. And we do like smashing things with this bat.
Ive just started playing and we love it already but when Im playing on level 22 the game freezes the player character and wont let us do anything plz fix this Id hate to not be able to finish this great game.
Fun with a decent amount of strategy we just havent gotten far enough to see if there is a paywall or not.
We paid $1.99 because we thought the game was decent and didn't want to see ads. A little bit of "we get your back, you get ours" except we're unrequited. We now feel like we made a mistake in purchasing this without looking at the reviews seeing as this has been an issue for other users since the beginning of June. The developers had responded that it would be fixed in the next update but looking at the patch records tells a different story.
Ridiculously easy at first. Begins showing advertisements after the first chapter. Doubles down after the second and many features of standard gameplay require payment. Dont waste your time.
