Perfect timekiller

I've been playing Slay since before the iPhone, it stands the test of time. Just like Minesweeper, it is a light, casual game that is sorta puzzley, but in a way that you are never really challenged long enough that you need to put it down. The gameplay is world domination, but really you can just make the computer surrender by breaking its territories up. The challenge comes in balancing growing your territory with defending while also making sure not to level up too quickly or else you won't be able to pay your troops (+1/space, -2/lvl1, -6/lvl2, -18/lvl3, -54/lvl4) Almost never buy the lvl4 dude unless you need to squash a lvl3, but usually you can starve them out. The game comes with enough maps for you to play one a day for over a year and you can buy more interesting shapes if you like it, no nagging, just available. Lots of cool looks/themes, all included.They just added a fourth row of maps that are all symmetrical. These maps are the toughest ones yet! Well worth the price if you enjoy the game.

Great game

I've been playing this game for about nine years, starting with a desktop version. Definitely a a great way to pass the time. One suggestion: all the pieces dying from loss of land "starvation" could be changed to 'starvation first for the lowliest pieces'. For example, if a territory has a spearman and a peasant and has 8 hexes, then the hut hex is captured taking the total down to 7 hexes, the peasant would die, but the spearman would survive. Alternatively, if the number of hexes were reduced to 5, the spearman would perish, but the peasant could survive. Either method makes more sense from a thematic point of view than everyone dies. It could be an optional play mode.

Very Good Classic Strategy/Logic Game

This game first appeared in its original form for PC more than 10 years ago. There are copycats but this is THE original so you know this is the best. In some way it’s a cult classic because many people really love it. Even if you don’t spend hours playing it you’ll still enjoy it. It’s visually simple but under it is very clever strategy mechanic which always has multiple solutions and multiple strategy styles. Slay is a very unique game but has some elements of Go, Catan, even Civ.

Update 4.4.1 much better!

I love this game and was willing to pay for the extra maps (developers deserve to earn something for their hard work!). I really love how quickly they addressed the most recent bug created by update 4.4. The game play is excellent again. While the new graphics are taking some adjustment, I appreciate the simple fact that the developers have taken a great creation of theirs and responded to consumer feedback for improvements. You can’t please everyone, but at least they care and take pride in their work!

THANK YOU!!!

Seriously thank you for the last update! Being able to build my own map is fun and absolutely amazing. I’ve been playing slay for a long time and back when I could play it on PC, and now that it’s been in the App Store I’ve been playing it for years. I beaten Almost every level multiple times in different difficulties. Now to be able to build my own maps and play them is fantastic. Games come and go in my life but slay gets played almost daily. If I were to add if you could add much much much bigger levels, ones that are 3-6 times bigger than the ones that are available. It’s just something I’d personally like to try out. Or if there was a feature so I can do that myself.Thank you again for this fantastic game!

Fun game

I have played this for years. I like how simple it is to learn yet challenging to master. For added challenge I like to give myself a few extra criteria for winning. For example I consider it to be harder to win if I can get the AI to surrender to my dominance while keeping each starting color alive. Or I like to have my territory touch each shoreline of the four cardinal directions and each lake as well before the first surrender is offered. Although I give this game a 5 star rating I don’t like that the recent update seems to color the whole map my color when I accept surrender. I might be weird but I liked looking at how the island looked with each color after accepting surrender.I also think it would be cool if I were able to choose my color to play with (Like it was available on PC). I think another fun challenge is to beat the same map with each of the six color options as it is a different experience for each color even while playing on the same map. Another plus would be the option of choosing how many opponents to play against from 1 to 5

It’s time for more maps!

I need to leave a review because I’ve finally played through every map available and want the developer to know its time to add another row to the available maps.And by “played through” I need to clarify that I’ve played them twice: once to just win and a second pass through to get as low of a score as possible (fewest turns).This is an excellent game, possibly the one I’ve spent the most time with over the years. After much thought, the best feature is that every map is “solvable,” meaning that the AI is not random, but instead reacts to your moves the same every play through. Some plays are only better in how they make the AI react a turn or two from when you play them.If I can make one suggestion: add another difficulty level where the human player goes last. Having the benefit of first-play is huge...I bet this will make some maps unsolvable, but I’d love to try.Thank you for this game. I can’t express just how much I’ve relied on it over the years.

My suggestion

Great game, I have a suggestion. Often I find myself counting all the hexagons of a large enemy territory, then adding up their costs to see if a move would kill them. Seems like it could be intuitive to click on a territory of 8 or more and the calculations would appear, “32 Income, 28 Cost”. I do love to play on the Master level, but some maps appear to be impossible to beat on that level. Not a big deal. Some of these maps are incredibly fun and if I could mark favorites maybe?Finally, in your game, Mother of all battles, a replay summary of each turn is replayed. It would be cool to see that on some of the tough victories.

Great game, 1 flaw

I have to give it 5 stars. I've been playing for years. I love this game. And the new look is fantastic. But why, after all this time, is there not an option to turn off surrenders? There is nothing more frustrating than clicking in the wrong place and seeing your game end. I like to crush them. Annihilate them! I'd love an option to turn surrendering off completely. Give it a trial run. Or just save yourself the time and buy it now. A very addictive game.

Great game for 10+ years

Great, simple, "it just works" game that can kill 10-20 minutes very quickly. My only complaint after like 10 years of having this game and playing it every now and then, is that AI blindly yolo at the user player. Sure, I'm on expert, but when myself and another AI have small territories like 25% and the other AI has 50%, why is the other 25% doing literally nothing fighting the actual threat, and going for me instead? Makes for some frustrating scenarios, where they give up cutting the larger AI territory to take your tiles instead... -Even animals understand the basic concept of the larger threat, even if we don't work together specifically we still need to leave each other alone or else the larger will just swamp both of us.

Description

Slay is a simple to learn game of strategy and cunning set in medieval times. The island is divided up between the six players, and you must try to capture your enemies' land and link up your own territories to create larger and stronger ones. You begin capturing land by attacking with your peasants.

Once your territories become richer you can combine peasants to make stronger and stronger people (Spearmen, Knights and then Barons) who can kill weaker enemy troops, or knock down their castles. Just be careful that you don't create too many expensive men or the territory will go bankrupt! "This game is pure strategy! It's a work of genius. Brilliant AI. Engaging turn-based multiplayer strategy. Sid Meier, eat your heart out!" - GameSpy.com "I love this game! I play it all the time, and when I'm not, I think about wanting to play it." - PocketNow.com "At first glance, Slay looks elementary, but hidden beneath are cunning strategy elements that must be finely balanced for success" - PC Magazine "Deceptively delightful. The graphics are simple, but the strategy is complex." - Download.com For the latest news on all my games follow @SeansGames on Twitter!
