Neuroshima Hex

I have owned this game for many years it. I play several games a day and have purchased a number of add ons. The artist lost their way for a while but a recent update has thrown away the insipid tiles of the past 2 years and moved closer to the original releases which were top notch. I hope they eventually allow the option to select both the tile sets used and the game board as the original was simply inspired. The current set is quite good but the earliest board and tile set gives the game a great apocalyptic mad max feel that the later 2 iterations have not quite captured. The Ai us sometimes a bit stupid. Looks like it was never tweaked to correct issues. Eg the Sharrash Ai almost never uses one of its best pieces, “the hole” which is a must use pice whenever I am playing that race. Another issue is that sometimes the Ai draws 2 fight tiles and an attacker, and instead of putting the attacker down it will discard it and use one of the attack initiations when the obvious thing to do would be to deploy an attacker and then initiate combat. Or maybe it draws 2 attacks and a movement tile and it won’t use the movement to avoid getting smashed in the attack its about to initiate. Other things it does is certain races have a race they are hard wired to attack, even though it would be far wiser to attack another race so it can win. Really bizarre really.

Yes this game is one of the greats on here, I never get bored, and they keep adding new armies which is so cool because it mixes up the game play very well, it's part strategy part luck because U are given three cards from your Battle deck to choose from and U have to discard one of them kinda like poker so there is no ultimate win to this game and no matter how good you are if you don't get the right cards or choose them correctly you can lose pretty quickly I'd also compare this game to Hearthstone kind of playing style with a different play style, it’s worth downloading and trying out, I’m glad I took the chance.

This is an excellent port of the original. Initial purchase comes with the 4 classic armies but there are 10 DLC factions available for purchase. The AI computer is a good opponent and has a solid tactical grasp for the armies (mostly, its a little poorer with factions that require a little more tactical nuance, but is overall very good). It should be noted however that the art from the pictures is the 2nd edition art but the art is 3rd edition in the game. It doesn’t change anything gameplay wise, but the art is different (better in my opinion). Definitely a good purchase for current neuroshima fans and for fans of tactical hex games.

This game is fantastic! It's fun, easy to learn, affordable, and otherwise a blast to play. The factions seem fairly balanced and the AI is surprisingly challenging. My only complaint is a couple of bugs that leave you stuck on some screens while getting info on tiles when deciding which of your three initial tiles to discard. Fortunately, the game saves its state constantly. Just exit to the desktop, swipe clear the process, start the app, and "resume." The ease of doing this and the infrequency of the bug did not merit a rating downgrade for what is otherwise a fun and diverting game. Solid five stars!

This is a very good tactical game that's fun to play. Ignore the negative reviews. I'm an old grognard specializing in tactical games and this is one of the best. Artwork is important but it doesn't trump gameplay and Neuroshima Hex has plenty of gameplay. Don't cut yourself out of the fun just because someone's aesthetic sense has been offended. To those who don't like the 3.0 look, I suspect the artwork was changed to keep the paper game affordable. It's better to compromise the artwork to keep a game this good affordable than it is to price the game into 1 percenter territory. Big Daddy had to follow along to keep their license. I'm glad they did.
