It's a totally different style of game.

Well, since Hunters 2 is, in my opinion, far, far behind Final Fantasy Tactics and Ravenmark among iOS turn-based tactical games, and probably not quite up to the level of Time of Heroes and Wasted Lands as well, it is rather easily usurped. If it ever sat on the throne, it was a precarious perch, constantly tottering on the verge of plummeting

Not that Total War Battles nourishes any ambitions of replacing Hunters 2 in any way, given that this is a real-time game, and therefore not in the same genre

Can anyone who has this on an Ipad tell me how much space the app takes up once installed?

Thanks

Okay, I just finished the 4 or so tutorial levels and I'm loving it.

The gameplay is simple and fun but the best thing as others have said is the animations. Watching each unit fight it out in a squad is amazing and quite detailed. You can watch units parry attacks and see awesome killing blows (a spearman will stab a general in the chest and the you can watch him slowly fall over). I gotta say, watching this stuff on an ipod touch is crazy!

Think I'll buy it but gonna have to delete some apps first. The one annoying thing about all of these Retina updates is that some apps are vastly increasing in size which is making my 16Gb iPad2 fill up very quickly...

Not fair for those of us without retina that we have to have more memory locked up which we can't take advantage of

Oh I am so torn over whether to get this or not. On the one hand you guys who have taken the plunge are saying it's pretty damn good and quite frankly the animation looks nearly worth the price of admission alone....

On the other hand I am really not a fan of lane defence titles and I must admit I think it's a bloody liberty putting in iap in a £5 app, especially as it does affect gameplay.

What to do what to do...

It's a lane based castle offense type game with RTS elements of resource gathering and base building with lite puzzling.

Also, the EXP scenarios can get pretty damn mind numbing because everything is moving quite slowly so trial and error gameplay can get tedious pretty soon.
Though the satisfaction (or removal of frustration) from completing one is quite substantial .

For those who complain about the accent, Total War has always had English with accents for different countries, which is FAR more realistic than if everyone speaks American English.

Examples:

The only problem with those accents is that they're not authentic French or Spanish accent (I have a few French friends, some with very thick accent, and they sound nothing like in that video), so I can understand the frustration of some people with the weird English.
