Landrule Strategy vs Risk for Android
Game is intuitive, maps are great, buying maps is fine as they have a lot of replay value. I would however like to see a more difficult AI as I prefer not to play online. I would also love to see an option for less random results. The game needs the element of random but it is beyond upsetting when you lose a 9 on 1 battle. My suggested maps to buy are British Isles and European strongholds.
I would give it better scores but I have bought all of the maps, but since my la s t phone died and had to replace it I lost half of the maps. I sent them an email with no response. BOUT TO UNINSTALL! buyer beware don't switch devices. Do the devs not read this? Are you not willing to keep your paying customers happy?
This game is a good Risk clone. It offers custom maps and online multiplayer up to 8 players. However, it has some VERY serious flaws: 1) If one person drops out of the game (which is common) with standing armies, the match is essentially ruined. Their forces remain, and continue to amass. This makes land impassable. 2) Cannot elect an exact number of troops to maneuver. 3) Cannot undo mistakes.
Used to be a good game. But the gameplay sucks now; the AI targets you and you only. One of the the other AI players could be sitting there with very limited defenses and the other AI players leave it alone and go for you. And the way you lose armies is ridiculous, I can have 14 for example and an AI will attack with 15 and win, losing 1 in the process...and then it'll go on to take 4 or 5 more territories. I'll attack with overwhelming superiority and lose upwards of 80% of my force. It's not just one in a while, which would be expected, it's ALL the time. Uninstalling.
Great risk emulator. Needs to show dice rolls when attacking individually to make it properly old school (apart from 'all' of course!). Also needs a league-section that automatically scores wins, losses and user-inputted points per position/shot clock penalty. Interested in which pseudorandom number generator is used and if we get assigned a seed on registration just out of interest. Good game, acceptable, price point, let's see if developers improve these two features. Cheers!
This has been my favorite time waster app for a long time. I requested the addition of a random map feature and it was added so now I'm even MORE happy with this app! I've made several map purchases as well.
It's one of my favorite risk versions with tons of great maps available for around a dollar. But of lately it has began to freeze up or lose connection even when I'm on Wi-Fi causing missed shot clock and dropping people from games . This is starting to ruin it and is causation for looking for a new risk like game.
Why do I have an army of 13 attacking an army of 3 and all my units die and none of theirs then an army will have no land yet get a stupid number of reinforcements. The game is faulty and pointless when its like this it makes the strategy aspect pointless. Would be brilliant but poorly executed leaving you frustrated as sometimes no matter what you do, you can not win!
Its not that i dont like the game, its that the ai is coded poorly making single player a joke. It's actually easier to win on the hard setting then the mid? Also dont like that we cant zoom out. All in all there are a lot of "risk- like" games out there and I just cant recomend this one.
It's a good game at it's base but single player mode is so broken - the AI get insane benefits already at medium difficulty and AI players often team up on you. Another annoying thing is not being able to go back to the attacked phase after hitting the done button by mistake.
When rotating to landscape view, it is completely useless. I sent them a picture of how it can be redesigned to work. They ignored my suggestion. Fix that, and I will definitely give it 5 stars.
Ugh... can't take it anymore! The dice roles are so ridiculous now, it takes all the fun out of the game. Please fix this problem. I can work around the other AI issues but game play relies on roll statistical averages being met!
Always been the best Risk game available. Could be an even harder setting though *New maps please! Big ones like North America
Great game, AI is dreadful, map packs too expensive. Would be nice if cards appeared on the bottom of the screen.
It's simplicity is brilliant. Have been playing it with friends for years. It doesn't give notifications for iPhones all the time which can cause problems
Simple, quick, fluid. It is the best Risk clone I've encountered, although it brings with it the drawbacks of the risk engine as a result.
Play this game pretty much daily. Love it but could be improved: at start provide option to allow player to choose starting countries rather than just adding to preselected countries, make all players conduct placements in a round Robin one at a time rather than AI suddenly dropping 11 armies on one country and get some more maps.
I've had Landrule for a few years now, amazing game. It's clean with no adverts ruining your gameplay. One feature I would love to see is an easy feature to private message other players in game, as well as this more multiplayer options would be nice such as whether quit players are replaced with AI. Overall it's a fantastic game, I highly recommend it to anyone!
The AI is pretty dumb, but I only play with friends so for us it works perfectly. Super awesome, simplified, play-at-your-leisure risk game.
My favorite go app...over 2000 games played on all the maps. Just like risk, but tons of maps and the ability to move armies to any touching/adjacent army.
Loosing when you have 2-3 times as many armies should not happen on a normal basis. Check your rolling code... Would be great otherwise.
Used to be great, but now the AI has been tweaked so all computer opponents just target the human player. Uninstalled!!
Perfect time killer throughout the day. Runs flawlessly. Would like to see more freedom in choosing how many armies to move opposed to preselected numbers... still deserves 5 stars tho!
Another poor Risk clone. See the other versions on the store if you want a slightly better version.
They've stopped caring and updating this with new maps and bug fixes so I'm adjusting my score down.
My only issue is that ever since the last update, when someone sends me a link to a private game, it takes me to a page telling me to either install or update the game and doesn't allow me to join. Any ideas?
I love this game. It's got some good big maps to kill time with. A nice jewel in the Google app store.
Would have given this game a 5 star rating except after buying almost all the maps my phone died. Downloaded with new phone and now I have to buy the maps all over
Like the risk board game, then this is for you. With some great alternative maps.
Mostly OK free alternative to Risk, but could be so much better.
Sick of being forced to buy all but one (free) map
Developer no longer supporting game. Actually the developer no longer exists
Please oh please let me back up to the attack phase of my turn!! Every once in a while I go straight from reinforcing to movement and can't back up. It has cost me games. Will happily change to a 5 star rating with that particular fix.
Just one suggestion, on future updates, could you have more than one map, and if you do 3, maybe make one of the OLDER PAID MAPS OR ONE OF THE NEW MAPS free? Something to think about. *** I get that you want to make a few pennies to help fund other projects, I'm all for that, and send best wishes toward you folks toward that end
16 vs 3, I win and am left with 2 remaining. 4 vs 1, I lose. Happens all too often, yet an AI with 12 armies can snake a path from South America through Africa and into Asia, but in doing so opens itself up to a defenseless position. This all happens way too regularly. If I wanted to watch a clueless army win by "chance" so often, I would watch a GI Joe cartoon. Even with this crap gameplay, as long as you don't throw your phone you can beat the AIs, so GFY for subjecting us to a game that is frustrating as crap but not challenging. You really hit the sweet spot on sucking right there.
Simple, quick, fluid. It is the best Risk clone I've encountered, although it brings with it the drawbacks of the risk engine as a result.
The game is way too easy. For any map against the max number of ai on the hardest setting I win every time. I'm not THAT good.
...This game has always been a cuит. Yes AI does cheat, has always cheated & will probably always cheat. e.g: Last AI army trapped. I load up my army to 2000 (that's right two thousand). AI has 1. I attack. Result? AI defeated, but I lose 8 armies. So basically, I rolled 15,972 straight misses, whilst AI rolls 8 straight hits. Utter BS. Dev should have his manhood cut off & fed to the goats. Still my go-to game, though.
Good risk game but the ai needs to be smarter. To easy to destroy

Am I imagining things, or does the game confiscate cards when you open a turn with 5 or more cards, THEN give you the option to turn in remaining cards? Leading to a situation where you could start a turn with 5, lose two, turn in three then have only one card after your turn ends and you win a card for conquering a territory? Otherwise, still like the game.
