Stratego® Single Player for Android
keeps opening in vertical format before switching over to wide screen 'landscape' orientation, board games should be in wide screen only; in game statistics show nearly two hundred wins combined score on two devices, but google achievements shows only ninety-nine percent for a hundred wins and ninety-five percent for fifty?? Other than that, a solid five star app. Edited from 2/5/2017.
At least three achievements are broken. I almost have diffuse 100 bombs but the 50 one won't register still. Also the retry missions 10 times is broke and 6 bombs in one game.
Why in world does a PAID OFFLINE SINGLE-PLAYER app CONSTANTLY download MEGABYTES of MP4 video advertisements to the "__chartboostCBVideoDirectory" on my SDCard??? What a TOTAL BUNCH OF CRAP!
The other comments are not true. Like how the game moves pieces that you did not order, this is because you are suposed to drag not click. Others say that the game cheats by knowing all your pieces, this may be true for the campaign but so what, you know the AI'S pieces anyway. The regular battles do not cheat tho the AI either guesses rembers the uncovered ones or sees you move to determine what rank your piece is.Now the final complaint I saw was the price of the game, the game cost money and in the game as well to unlock more levels ($0.99). This cost money but if you are a stratego pro like me that wants to challenge the best stratego players, just suck it up and buy this cause its one of the smartest stratego AI I have ever seen. And a MEASAGE to the PRODUCERS make the game free or at least the multiplayer game so more people can acual y get the game.
I think the ai cheats...always seems to know which one to run away from
Pieces never engage, just move around forcing you to move.
The "good old dependable" board game made for phone and tablet; thank you!
Before Chess, There was STRATEGO!!!
Game play is decent but there is no undo. It is extremely easy to touch the wrong spot by mistake and unintentionally move a piece. Moving pieces is not intuitive nor natural. I play solo only. It is really a pain to keep telling it to not spy on my activity. Deny is deny forever.
There has been absolutely no improvement in the AI of this game in over the 3 years that I've had it. In over 200 games at the highest level I've lost 1 time, and only then because I got extremely careless. Not a testament to my great skill so much as an indictment of the woefully weak AI. This game might provide your child with some amusement, but anybody over 6 years old will find no challenge here. Only reason I don't rate it 1 star is because the graphics are good.
Seems ok. The new art style is pretty dumb though. I'm glad you can go back to the old classic one because at least those were correct Napoleonic military units and looked cool. The new style is a nonsense mix of 18th century bullshit.
I like the way the game looks, but the campaign mode is super short and not worth the money. If you want move levels (15) get ready to dish out another $1.99, good game just not totally worth it. If it was free to begin with I would have spent the money for extra levels...
I want to buy Stratego, but why pay for a game that wants you to buy "in app purchases"? This just seems weird. Stratego is a board game and I see no reason for any "in app purchases", and I also can't find any information about it in the describing text. I wish Google could offered a way just to hide/disable all "in app purchases" applications. Hopefully such apps won't exist in a few years.
Olde skool board game I loved when I was a kid, now the app I love today! I'd like to thank all involved for the update that seems to have cleared the bug that had it freezing up. Now, if you could make AI a stronger adversary, it would be great. On 3 stars difficulty I win unless I go crazy and send my troops out with blindfolds on. Full stars and thanks alot
Looks awesome... But the AI seems to just move back and forth a lot waiting for you to make all the moves. Also I'll try clicking other pieces to move and it either moves the piece in the wrong direction or moves the last piece I moved in directions I didn't even touch! I've had to restart many games because of that. Very frustrating.
The campaign was OK but real quick. The single player AI seems to know what your pieces are, which invalidates the whole game. Don't even think of wasting you money on the multiplayer version. There are so few downloads of it probably no one even pays.
I like the game but half the reason I got it was to be able to play against my friends in this device. So if you guys could create a way to have 2 player on one device I would greatly appreciate it.
The game plays well, mostly, but... you must get over the initial shock of the cartoon-y artwork on the pieces and the new rectangular shapes. If you can, then it's okay. The one serious flaw in this game is that the Two Squares movement rule is not programmed correctly. When you have a piece trapped it gives the evader FOUR MOVES!! Needless to say, this is a downer. Also the message is wrong that uses the phrase, "more than four moves". It should be "more than three moves".
The one thing about this game is you can play offline against the A1 which I prefer but there are better free games of similar mode available on Google Play Store.
I have made a new version of stratego and several other games...called Kingdom and Existence. - I Will not acknoledge 10 to 1 style, only 1 to 10 for stratego. The ethics of the games truth and wisdoms discernment is to undertake the responsibility and actually not to allow even 1 fatality while playing stratego on either side should in effort instill play relection sometimes up to 1 week; while procuring and realizing the developmental necessiry. Then sometimes play and practice paradigms truth continuum.
Quite often crashing on my Samsung pro 10.1 tab. Very disappointing, fixed now!
Haven't played this in more than 30 years. Thanks for writing!
I remember playing this when I was a kid and I remember being able to choose where to put the pieces but this app won't let me but that is the only problem I have with this app, other than that this app is great
Uses wifi and u cant set up pieces but u get what u pay 4 lol
Update fixed problem, thanks heaps
So far so good, no problems so far. Gameplay done right, nice graphics and sound.
The new version works! WOO-HOO! My favorite game all over again! Well done, gentlemen!
Love the animation!
Great game
It would be a good game if it didn't studder so bad. It sometimes takes a minute between moves. There is an obvious bug in update that was done. I first downloaded game on dec 8th. It was fine for a day or 2. Once i gained more points and accomplished more goals the studder began. Its like it's somehow using too much memory or something now. Please fix this. Your AI is pretty terrible as well.
Game has potential but is frustrating. AI seems to know where all your pieces are before they have been revealed. AI has no offensive strategies and will move one or two pieces back and forth until you attack. Game crashes a lot and barely ever saves the progress in the campaign. Lastly, to get more campaign levels you have to buy them, even tho you already payed for the app!!! If problems are fixed and AI changes its strategy would give 4 or 5 stars.
The AI just moves same pieces back and forth all day until you do somthing. Its very boring and seems one sided. I love the original board game and this looks and could have been very nice. The AI makes this game worthless...
Using a Note 4, so my processor is no joke, and it used to be a great game, but the new update makes it lag so hard its almost impossible to play. Please undo whatever you did that makes this thing lag like an overloaded sega genesis game in the early 90's.
Gameplay is solid. AI seems to be fair. Works really well except for a couple bugs. It gave me a bunch of achievements before I earned them which was disappointing. Also occasionally will start lagging after being open for a while.
I have a galaxy s6 and I constantly have to shut the game down mid "battle" because the game will freeze and get stuck. Super frustrating and annoying
The game looks great and the very short time it works it is great, but it rarely works, it drags to an absolute standstill
Fun app! Also had issues with the move from the old app to the separate single- and multi-player versions. Developer was very attentive and helpful sorting this out - excellent service!
Was fantastic until yesterday, now the game is literally frozen...Fix it and make the AI a little more challenging and I will give it 5 stars
Without AI it's like playing on a board all by yourself. Bitterly disappointed.

Bought it, downloaded it, opened it, and everything was fine- until it tried to log on to Play Games (a BS 'feature' I've always despised) & THEN it crashed. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, no change. Even worse, I absolutely love the game and waited forever for it to hit the 'droid market. Google Play refuses to refund my money. I will never buy anything from Google Play again, and won't play ANY game that involves Play Games no matter how cool it looks. I hear Amazon calling. . . .
