The point is that if theme is very important to you, this game is not for you, even if you like post apocalyptic war scifi.

However this theme is very very thinly applied in the game and the Android version does nothing to present it, you just start games and it goes straight to the tile placing and fighting. In Android you have four different armies that are robotic, mutant, human or blends of those kinds. There is a theme here, each player controls a different kind of army in a post apocalyptic future and it’s kinda scifi in a way. Neuroshima Hex is a abstract hex-tile laying game where each player plays as a army trying to destroy the other players headquarters. I’ve now got to a position with the game where I can beat the simplest AI setting about half the time, so there is still plenty of room for me to grow with this game. There is a lot of randomness in the game due to the way tiles are drawn, but that suits me for a quick, light game (now I know how most of the units work!), and there is certainly some depth here. Other than that, I find the game very enjoyable. It is very easy to accidentally discard a tile which you wanted to play, and once you have done that, well, tough luck. While on the subject of issues, I also find it annoying that there is no “take back” option. I have found no way to directly get information on a unit without all those steps. That in itself isn’t a problem, but to find out you need to step back out of the game, open the army reference and look up the unit you are interested in to find out about it, then re-enter the game and continue. The tiles have lots of iconography representing their effects and it is not always immediately obvious what it all does. Some tiles are units which can do damage to others (including the opponent’s HQ, damaging which is the aim of the game) while others provide modifiers for other tiles in play or trigger one-off effects like battles or air strikes.Īnd here comes one of my biggest bugbears. The game is fairly simple: each player gets up to three random tiles from their army each turn, of which they can play up to two.

There is also a free “Neuroshima Hex Lite” which just has two armies available which I used to learn the basics and decide that I did want to pay for the full version.

Plus you can either set up a random “quick” game or select up games for up to four armies, each either as human or AI players. Well, the app looks nice, has an adequate tutorial and a decent rules and units reference. I guess the iOS version may behave differently in some respects. Just for background information, I haven’t played the original boardgame version of Neuroshima Hex, and I have the Android version of the game on my little 7″ tablet.
