A Glimpse into Warlands
Warlands is a turn-based strategy game where your goal is to destroy your enemies and take over the map until you achieve total world domination.
You can play up to 7 other people or computers, either on the same device or over the internet.
You are able to place two different types of units (one that is better at attacking, and one that is better at defending), and there are six different types of territory: plains, impassable mountains, treacherous water, defensive towers, cunning forests, and unit production centers.
The free base game comes with three styles of maps in three sizes each. Additional map packs can be purchased for 99 cents. Purchase of any map pack removes advertisements.

Good game with lots of potential. Hope the developer continues with improvements!
Its no fun playing against a bot it is a fun idea but it needs more players.
We cant figure out how to actually beat the bots, it seems like its next to impossible to do. The bots get more defenders, and attackers, so your constantly weaker than them.
This stuffs fun just use it as resume fodder to get app dev jobs.
It doesnt seem anyones really playing this game to find an opponent, and the AI is not very hard. Its lots of fun but not much challenge to anyone experienced with abstract strategy games. Its frustrating that it has such solid gameplay but nobody is playing it. What game are people playing instead?
Itd be nice to have harder AIs as we have only lost against the AI one time as of now. Really good concept and some advertising might go a long way, overall, a good game!
We can’t speak to the online games but even at the hard difficulty the app is not smart and we win easily. Even if it were smart the game is of limited scope. You can buy maps but the game is still limited. It is good if you are looking for a mental break and like winning.
The game has potential to be fun but certain choices by the developer prevent us from enjoying it. Im deleting the game. 1. Ads – Im more than happy to pay a few dollars for a mobile game up front. The developers interest in incremental revenue through ads is a no-go for us though. Theyre a distraction on the screen and we cant even pay to remove them. 2. Maps – Again, happy to buy a game for a few dollars up front if we get a rich game experience. The included maps arent limited in number and poor in execution. Id pay a small additional fee to get access to all the maps if the base game came with more and they were well designed. 3. Map design – The placement of the forests and castles on the maps are poorly thought out in terms of strategy. More thought should have been put into map design which would result in more challenging gameplay. 4. AI – we’ve only played on the default settings but as they are, the AI is neither challenging or interesting in its play style.
The concept of the game is simple enough. Basically risk with a maximum number of units you can place on each hexagon. However, the programming is horrible and for some reason every time you finish your turn, the screen will start flashing around and you will be unable to watch the map and see everyone else’s moves. It is unbelievably annoying and gives us a headache. There are tons of other games that are exactly the same without this programming problem. Get those.
This is a very clean, no frills strategy games. It’s simple to pickup, but it has high replay value.
We love this game , but we wish you would update it more often.
This game is loads of fun and highly addictive. You should check this out. The new fog of war option adds soo much more to the game. The Game Center notifications are quick to let us know when it is our turn!
Great game, but we get matched with the same person, we wish more people played this game, hope they make ads for it.
Great strategy game. But after the recent update, the map (screen) began to move all weird direction during enemies’ turn. It is out of focus and making us dizzy. This issue made game play really annoying.
Update: contacted by the developer letting us know that they have removed the full screen ads. – Got tired of battling all the ads couldn’t play the game. Just deleted it.
3 stars for the effort. But the game is a little basic. The special tiles hardly add any strategy. So it just boils down to who can capture the most space before being attacked.
We’ve tried to play this but can’t get another player to ever play. Can’t say if it’s fun or not because there is no playing just waiting for someone that never plays.
Should add a feature where the user can make their own maps (I already bought all of the dlc)
This game is really fun to play. Our friends and we play it a lot when we are bored. One problem is that we couldn’t buy any of the map packs. If anyone else had this problem please tell us how you got past this. Overall a good game.
Definitely worth getting; just needs a bigger player base :D.
The best board game ever wich is very tactical and very logical by making moves, placing troops and attacking and deffending troops!!
This game is really fun to play, and in study hall at school we play up to 5 player games, you should really get this game.
The game is great! One little thing though is there is no option for team battle.
It looks like this game hasn’t been updated in at least 2 years. It would be nice for new maps or modes.
Amazing game, but it would be better with and update, maybe with new maps or modes, something like that.
Often times when we start a game, we can’t initially place our armies in any of the hexes. None of the hexes will take the army no matter how we tap the hex nor no matter which hex we try to tap. We’ve deleted and reloaded three times with same results. Considering this and the fact that other people are complaining about not being able to get the DLC, this product needs to be labelled as a beta version.
During games the troop placement lags out, a turn may take minutes to load, especially when the fog is on. The game crashes frequently now. An update to fix this would be appreciated.
Although the concept of the game looks interesting, it is barely playable. Every 10 seconds there is an advertisement in your face that you have to struggle to remove. We gave up after 10 minutes of frustration. Whatever we paid for it was not worth it.
Excellent Risk-style game for killing some time. Simple but intentionally so.
We use local play all the time with our friends in school. Great when you have a sub!!
We really like this game and would like to see something added to it, like textures sounds some from of battle music. But we really do love how simple yet hard this game is and look forward to seeing updates.
Just add teams,campaign and bigger maps and this game WILL BE AMAZING.
Dear Warlands folk, we love this game so far! The only reason we held back a star: your AI is damnably easy to beat, even with Fog of War. PLEASE give us single-player hermits some increased difficulty levels! Otherwise you are superior to Strategery in nearly every way…
Very good war strategy game. What we have been looking for a while. We would like to see new versions with texture and possibly more depth, but a major problem we have with this game is how much it freezes and crashes. That may just be us though. IPhone 5.
This is a great game. Simple and yet offers a depth of strategy. One of those great "easy to learn, difficult to master games". Sadly, we can only give it 4 stars at the moment. What it lacks is a bit of polish. The interface looks like something that could be whipped up in Power Point in a few minute, which we’re certain has stopped more than a few people from looking at it. Our suggestion: spend some time on the appearance. Make the game board look more like a game board. Bring it to life a bit. Consider not using such simple pictographs for the terrain. You could even use something like an appropriate Chinese character. This would give the game the look and impression of being older than it really is. Also, explain the mechanics in the instructions a bit better. Or better yet, show them a little better in-game than a random number flashing on screen for a split second. But seriously, this game has a great solid concept. Give the interface some love and we’ll give it that extra star. And we’re sure others will too.
Can u add alliances? Otherwise I’d give this 5 stars. Fun game.
Fun game has more depth than you think.
Fun and addictive game play. You can set the size of the battle to incorporate whatever time you have to play. Recommend For war strategy players of all ages.
This game’s alright if you’re looking for something that "pretends" to have strategic depth. After about one or two games, you should realize that whomever comes LATER in the turn order will almost invariably win. Once one player has more territory than the others, it is just a prolonged battle to the death. No comebacks are in any way possible. Play Risk; at least Risk is somewhat balanced.
Great system. Hard to gauge how number of reinforcements are calculated each turn.
We like War Lands a lot, but sometimes it crashes on us. Though not while Im playing just when Im changing the match settings.
Simple but enjoyable game. But it’s very annoying to not know when it’s your turn, especially since notifications are kind of a standard experience on iOS.
We agree with the previous reviews. Great strategy game, online play is fast with notifications. New fog of war is nice, looking forward to more options. Only problem we are having is we can not make the in ap purchases to get more maps, not within the game or within the app store. Hopes its fixed soon.
We love this game. Kind of like Risk but simpler. Good maps, challenging, it’s the one game we have that we’ve not gotten tired of playing yet.
We cant download it, it wont install.
