About Ground Pounders

Ground Pounders is a hex-based, turn-based strategy wargame. Inspired by classic strategy games like Panzer General, and steeped in the lore of the Sword of the Stars universe, Ground Pounders offers a new generation of gamers an updated taste of turn-based strategic warfare. Best of all, you can play it cross platform between desktop machine and mobile devices.

Ground Pounders lets players control an army from one of two factions. Each army is comprised of dozens of different unit types. You will lead your ground pounders across a variety of worlds, increase their experience levels and abilities over the course of two campaigns, and use them to unlock special action cards that can add special effects to single-player games, or to up the stakes in your cross-platform multi-player battles.

Would give higher but it won't let me make a profile or name a deck. I can put a name in but it won't let me accept it.

No problem registering but once I get in I find that the campaigns are for a fee. Come on, not worth it considering how few people can actually play...

Let me create a profile and I will gladly pay for your campaigns. Otherwise thanks for wasting my time.

...keyboard input via Android tablet fails as the carriage return is changed to a space, so the text entry can't be finalised. So can't create a profile name or deck name. so can't play the tutorial, or anything else.

LG G3, June 2015; if I try to play a mission it locks up and spams errors about missing a graphic for rolling dice. A pity too because I really like the SOTS franchise. Please fix this so I can remove this 1-star review!

Text on Android doesn't work. Can't make a profile and therefore can't play the game

Should be played on a bigger screen.

Q70%
by Q####:

Awful UI, laughably bad tutorial (step 1: defeat the enemy, step 2: thats all there is to it...) and minimal content without paying extra. It is a poor port of a bad PC game. Avoid this game.

Appears to be designed to be played on a tablet or laptop. Much of the text is less than 1 mm tall on the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Kerberos has always been so good about having decent game design. What happened? Please fix text entry!

I can play the scenarios fine. Purchased the human campaign, but cannot get it to work, stops running when opening campaign on a galaxy 4. Love the rest though.

On my Nexus 9, I cannot get past creating a profile name. There is no next button or similar to proceed with.

by Q####:

Keyboard doesn't work properly on stock Android 5.0.1 on Google Nexus 7. Judging by the other comments and the dates they were posted I'm not holding out much hope of this being resolved. Has the dev abandoned the game...? UPDATE - got around it by installing SwiftKey keyboard - but I shouldn't have to. It SHOULD work with the default keyboard.

No tutorial = stop wasting my time. Dear dev, don't worry, never gonna d/l anymore of your garbage. Every one else, good luck. Gotta pay for everything except the app logo, they give that for free. Hate misleading, p.o.s. games!

Now heres a strategy game I like a turn based deck builder military game and its free unless you want scenarios or campaigns in which case for 6 bucks you can get a bundle deal and get all of them, the game is easy to learn hard to master and is a bit over whelming to noobs but well worth the time it takes to learn.

The tutorials are very informative, I don't know what Russ was looking at. I've been looking for a game of this depth to play on the phone. The cards you are given are not some magic abilities, more like technical opportunities. Added value if you ever played Sword of the Stars (SotS) on the PC as it gives you a glimpse into the ground based battles to complement the space opera of SotS.

I love old tabletop hex-based wargames, and was very happy to see Kerberos revisiting this class of game. However, this version at least is simply not playable. The tutorial (aside from being click-happy and very hard to read) kept getting into invalid states - e.g., you must move a specific unit to advance, but it doesn't respond to taps. I hope they fix these issues, because based on this free preview I don't expect the paid version to be worth spending money.

It's a game u have to pay to play, NOT A FREE GAME. Play store should remove immediately.

S70%
by S####:

Tutorial works now, but is hugely overwhelming. Each wall of text has so much info on it that it's more of a manual than a tutorial. It doesn't actually show you how to do anything. It just tells you how and hopes you remember four or five screens later. Not very effective.

May end up being a good game,but it doesn't have enough going on to really be worthwhile.

K70%
by K####:

Very entertaining game when it decides to work. The stability of this app is horrendous however and is extremely prone to FC and freezing, even with nothing running in the background. God forbid you should get a text while playing this as it will freeze. Hopefully an update will fix this.

Is challenging and addictive.
