The World of WarPath
WarPath places you in the distant future of a galaxy not unlike our own. In this galaxy, empires have evolved, spread out and discovered they were not alone. After an adolescent conflict stage, the empires settled down to a long period of quasi-peace.
Four empires have ascended to pre-eminence and divided the galaxy between them into quadrants, each ruled by a different house. The peace between houses is maintained by an artificial energy barrier which separates the quadrants.
This barrier was designed to destroy any ship which attempted to leave its home quadrant. The barrier itself is left over from an ancient civilization which intended to keep the empires apart until they were mature enough to deal with each other.
Progress is sometimes the enemy of peace.
The Stinson's Chaos theory of AD 4923 led to the development of the chaos-deflecting shield layer. For the first time, it was possible to add shield layers together for a cumulative effect. As a result, it became possible at last to cross the barriers, but with no guarantee that you would survive.
Into this universe, you were born. Your youth on the home planet of your quadrant was uneventful. However, recently a major change has come to the galaxy.. the Path.
Although knowledge of the Path was suppressed for millennia by the philosophers of the galaxy, a popular television show released its details to the masses. It is now known that all philosophical and economic pursuits can be divided into two Paths: The Path of Peace (symbolized by the green aura) and the Path of War (symbolized by the red aura).
As news of the Path spread throughout the galaxy, each of the galactic houses were quick to align with one Path or the other. The other planets, slow to adopt to new trends, have remained uncommitted (as symbolized by the yellow aura of indecision).
Your job is to embrace the Path of your empire, and to influence the uncommitted planets into following your Path. Of course, you may have a fundamental disagreement with the Path of your empire and may choose to follow a Path of your own.
Game Features:
* Play solo or online with up to four players: bots or humans in any mix, via wifi or mobile.
* Configurable Bot AI
* Choose your own Empire, Ship Design, and Path
* Explorable galaxy of planets to be exploited for resources, colonized for your Path, or subjugated.
* Equip your ship with shields, pods, and weapons by shopping on friendly planets.
* Develop planets through investment in agriculture, defense, industry, education, mining, and space dock
* Earn tax income from populations following your Path.
* Increasing Technology level unlocks additional weapons and upgrades
* Earn achievements
* Dogfight with other ships or battle planets directly with bombs.
* Diplomatic Radio allows remote coercion of planetary leaders through bribery, flattery, or threat.
* Built-in hint system to discover the game's many features.
* Useful ship extensions like Radar, Galactic Guide, and Stealth shields
* Text chat with other players.
* Credit system allows you to borrow money in an emergency.
* Watch plague spread throughout the galaxy, or cure it planet by planet.

Found the pc version of this on a demo disc years ago. So it got me started with getting started with many games from this developer. Glad it made it to mobile platform.

I discovered this game (for Windows) about 15 years ago?!... and have enjoyed it, despite changes that took things away - although good things were added, too! This version for Android is good, and is reminiscent of the early Windows version. The tutorial-mode is not written for someone unfamiliar with the Android version's interface. There is no dedicated "help file" that I could find. I can't find the control for turning the cloak on/off. For that reason alone... I lost my first game against the AI in YEARS!!! Dan... you need a detailed help file, and to think like someone who does not know how the controls work.... when writing the help file AND the tutorial. There also needs to be a "private-match" multi player option, so invites can be sent to a friend. Also... I'd like to see a version for the Xbox 360 (arcade or indie), but based on WarPath 97 / 21stCentury version!

I really wanted this to be good. I really wanted a 4x experience on my phone, ala Master of Orion. Instead, i got this confusing mess of a game. Bad.

@Joss: No. A start but that's about it. Not overly interesting. Feels like a child created the game: dogs, cats and vampires in spaceships, amateur.

The game is unfinished. If the google user with the LG Cayman bothered to check the release notes he'd know that. If you're a fan of the original Warpath you'll love this! I'd love to redo your interface for you!

The game is very similar to the old Warpath game. -Fun! Not quite a complex, which is probably a good thing since it is on a handheld. But sadly, the game is not finished. I love a lot of Dan's creations, but the game is still lacking certain areas that need to be filled in. Just a lack of time invested so far. The game is still playable though, and as of build 64, the game has about 5 hours of replay value. Overall I give it a 3/5, with a 4/5, if it's ever completely finished.

The game seems largely unfinished. Most of the weapons and gear don't rightly explain how they function or how to activate them (even with the tutorial on). Overall, not worth the money.
