Best Turn Based Strategy Game?

[dashzed]

Can someone tell me what you think is the best turn based strategy game? I already own Lux Dlx(peice of crappp), and i really like the genre... what is good?

[DHrox]

Try Gun Wars! Haven't tried it but it looks good.

[dashzed]

gun wars looks ok, a bit simple for my taste. I'm going to wait for some reviews on that one.

Try Strategery (yes, that's how it's spelled). I play it more than Lux.

[dashzed]

Any of you guys ever play Battle For Wesnoth? best Mac game ever. I wish someone would port that.

try reign of swords (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=290813546&mt=8) i love itMake sure to try the free version first but it is good.

[dashzed]

yeah i'm going to try the lite now. aren't there ANY others? man someone needs to get to work on this genre:p

[stargazer513]

reign of swords is like fire emblem..

[Ktcf11]

vConqr is a turn based strategy. I've never played it though so don't know how good it is

[VoodooVyper]

There's a lite version of Strategery available as well. I highly recommend it.

[stargazer513]

ohh i have vconqr, it works fine, its got much more features than lux, but probably not as good as lux dlx

[hazmat95]

wait for agile forces and mecho wars to come out

[dashzed]

does anyone know if Castles is any good?

and no, i can't wait :0

[stargazer513]

ohh yes me too for mecho wars!

Yea, thats probably my favorite game of all time lol, and its free. What name do you usually go by on Wesnoth?

[Master Shake]

I can't believe there aren't more out there. The touch controls work so well for the genre.

[VoodooVyper]

Judging by the complete and utter lack of response and/or notice, I guess nobody cares about Strategery. Shame, it's a gem of a game.

Strategery is quite nice since its last update, offers quite a few options to customize the game, interface is really nice too. Though I now never play it.

Slay (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305324342&mt=8) is the current turn based strategy game I'm playing, 384 levels with 4 difficulty settings. Theres a free windows version if you want to give it a try, no Lite version yet (its only about 2 weeks old on the app store). The game is very balanced having been around for a number of years. I used to have the palm version and missed it alot after getting my iphone.

Sounds interesting, looks... lame. Do you have the link to the free PC demo?

[Chingyul]

Also waiting for a good turn-based strategy game.
On my old phone, my hands-down favorite game was the Ancient Empire series (second one more since it had multiple skirmish maps).
So that, or an Advance Wars clone would be nice!

[dashzed]

Reign of Swords is decent, controls are a bit slow, but it seems to be the best option. I'm still on the edge though...

Yeh its not the best looker on the iphone, the graphics are a direct port of the basic windows graphics. It is however a good balanced strategy game with good depth to it.

You can download the windows demo at:

The windows version is skinnable has a level editor and also has network games, hopefully the dev will be porting some of these features to the iphone.

Samurai Puzzle Battle ... half turn based half match-3

[MartiNZ]

One of the non-puzzle-quest Warlords games would be awesome. They managed Warlords 2 for the DS a while back; that would be an enduring game for the platform, especially if they could swing multiplayer by email or similar ... wow.

its interestin u mentioned multiplayer ... i always feel turn base online on iphone would be a challenge seein how short bursts of gaming time u hv on this device, and turn based games takes awhile to play compared to arcade ....

u will need a quick blitz like turn based game to really work on iphone maybe?

[Wegmans]

I'd kill for a Total War: iPhone game! Rome or Medieval, how cool would that be? you would satisfy the RTS and the turn based crowd

seriously

Actually, I love Strategery. I especially like playing the mode where there are empty lands between you and your opponents and you have to race to capture extra spaces before your opponents do. That game has quite a few nice options.

Is Warfare Inc. a Turn Based Strategy game?

I believe this is real time (played it on the Pocket PC a while back but not on the iPhone).

Slay (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305324342&mt=8) is the current turn based strategy game I'm playing, 384 levels with 4 difficulty settings.

I used to have the palm version and missed it alot after getting my iphone.

Ironically enough, I used to play this all the time on the PC when I owned the shareware version. As soon as I bought it, however, I stopped playing it. Go figure :confused:

I ran across this thread as a link from the Master List of Useful Threads (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=21106). I figure we might want to update this thread with some of our new favorite TBS games that have been released since March.

Anyway, these were on the front page of this thread. I got a good laugh from them. Civ being out just this week, and "Battle for Wesnoth" currently in the works. :) Good times. Good times.

In adding to the thread, I gotta say I am really enjoying "Civilization: Revolution". It's the first TBS game I've seen with the depth that I have been seeking in an iPhone/iPod Touch game.
