I never get bored of this game. Devilishly challenging at times, finally a turn based game that's easy to figure out but very complex to beat at times. Five stars stick with it if you get stuck

This is a great game! However there are lots of bugs that need to be fixed!

Fun but way too unbalanced to be enjoyable after the first few missions. I want to enjoy the well done game dynamics but can't.

This game is not unplayably hard. If you have trouble playing it, then you are not a fan of strategy games or any sort of critical thinking. You just like getting free wins from moving units forward across maps.

Reminiscent of the old Desert Commander game for NES. Just like the old 8 bit turn based war games like conflict. For this reason this game is epic if turn based strategy arcade style is your thing. Lots of options and units. Chess like. Not much can be improved. Great job to the developers. Glad games like this are still made. Also if you enjoy this you may like Big Little War Game for IOS.

I have played and beaten every single one of Mika Mobile's games. Their art style in unique. Their ideas always stand out. They make solid and simple games with a lot of depth hidden under the artwork and story. None of their games are as easy as they look, and that's what makes them a great developer. Keep up the great work! I check up on you on the App Store about once a month, just in case you drop something new. I'm not positive, but I believe this is an indie developer. They only release a new game every year or two. Again, their games are always good though. You are the first and only developer I know by screen name. Keep it up, and I hope you have made a decent living for yourself making these great games!

I am a HUGE turn based strategy fan and was hooked on this game. Good variety of units and like the fact we have a more powerful "Hero". There is some trial and error to figure out the harder levels but a very fun game and hope for a sequel 😀

Only thing on wishlist for any sequel would be to add some cutomized RPG character attributes.

Great job Mika Mobile!👍

i love these kind of games (starting with the original "empire - wargame of the century" 20 years ago) and this one is the best of its kind. several people here say it is too hard. i find the dificulty perfect. a good challenge but far from impossible. also one needs to do the story mode first. anyway, a very well thought out and tested game.

This obviously takes homage to GBA Advanced wars series but with a western twist. This is a really good turn based strategy game. Graphics are crisp and the gameplay is solid. The AI can be dumb at times but it still is a challenge. It's worth the purchase if you like advanced wars.

I have been looking and waiting for a game like this for years after the last advanced wars game. Not only is this game mobile I'm so happy that I can have it on my phone to take with me wherever I go and be able to play it with friends (multiplayer) whenever I want. This is possible the greatest app I've ever paid for, $2.99 with no in app purchases is a steal for this sort of game. The units are diverse and bring many fun new ideas to mix that we're all used to in these sorts of games. The game mechanics and rules have been tweaked slightly as well somewhat upping the challenge. I like the new combat system as it now allows for a chance to deal a varied amount of damage each time you attack. The story is good as well. One of my new favorite additions to the genera is the day and night cycle that effects certain units which makes you strategize even more. Some people complain that the levels are far to hard, this is true but they're not impossible although some may take you a few tries (level 9 for instance) you're also able to choose hero characters to command your troops and supply buffs to certain units as well. The music and sound effects are top notch and make me feel like I truly am in the Wild West (when playing with headphones). Basically I love this game and if you've ever played an advanced wars game I know you'll love this one to. No other game has made me ramble on in a review this much.

5/5

10/10

100/100

A perfect game for a great price

The game concept is solid. However it quickly becomes way too hard to be any fun. Can't recommend

This game does tactical turn based combat the right way. There are no annoying mobile freemium mechanics, just a beautifully simple, yet tactically complex game, for a straightforward price. This game is worth $30, but I paid $3. Awesome!!

This game is great! Very similar to advance wars

Theme is solid. Story actually exists to help pull you in. Art is a fun style that doesnt distract. And the gameplay is... well, alternately wonderful and frustrating.

There seem to be no upgrades (which I find frustrating because there are so many ways to try a map with an attempt at 3 stars before its obvious that upgrades are the only way you can succeed, as there is no difficulty rating). Three star ratings seem to be for personal purposes only (so overachievers, prepare to be disappointed). And the unit limits, while nice for purposes of simplicity, can cause issues if you aren't good with a specific unit.

Overall an interesting experience, but I am glad I waited for a sale.

I am not a fan of the level design with the layout of almost each game being you having 5-8 units, no income. Enemy: 10-30 units, decent income. Other than that, fun game

This game is simply amazing, i don't know why some people say it's too hard..but this is strategy game (and not that hard i guess, just don't lose hope)

Minor bugs, game freeze sometimes when you change to another app or lock phone while playing the game but the progress automatically saved :)

I wish ally team in the game is stronger lol

And anyone know how to beat last chapter? I'm stuck :'(

This game is a nice addition to the iOS library of tactics games, do not be swayed by those who've rated it one star and just complained about the difficulty. If you're familiar with fftwotl or advance wars, you'll feel right at home. This isn't a bad game! If you have an OCD of "I must get three stars before I move on!" Then maybe this isn't for you, however, just know that you can progress through the game and grind it out a bit to return and retrieve said missed stars 👍🏽. The game feels fluid and quick plus there's a good assortment of units and legends to unlock and max out. A solid tactics mobile game.

Honestly love strategic RPG games like this. I've been following Mikamobile since Zombieville! Great game and story line, those who say it's too hard obviously just aren't trying hard enough. I'm not even a heavy gamer and I beat 3 story modes with 3 different Living Legends. Fun and addicting game, only thing I would recommend is to come out with more updates of this game and to be able to disable the tutorials!! Hope they come out with a second game!!!

The game is fine. People complaining they can't 3 star level 3, clearly haven't played turn based games before. People complaining it's too hard in general. Yeah don't you want a hard game?? You're paying for it. Why would you want it to be easy....?

If Chess and a wild west Zombieville USA copulated and had a baby, it would be Lost Frontier. This is a smart, challenging, adventurous game with good characters and in-depth game play. The Western theme is fun and the story takes unexpected turns. The best tactical RPG I've played for iOS.

This game has the components I'm looking for. I liked the difficulty- Getting to new levels was challenging, and a nice puzzle to figure out, but it never became impossible. For what it's worth, I appreciate the storyline as well.

I think this game is being rated so high because it's Mika Mobile who made it. It's difficulty gets insane, way too quickly. By Chapter 4 (this is your 4th fight!) your put against an army of 9 enemies, with only 4 men of your own. Many of these 9 enemies can, and will, one shot your men. Sure, you can get backup men but by the time you can afford the cheapest and most useless unit, the rest of your men are already dead, or very near dead. This is stupid and completely unbalanced game play that ramps up the difficulty way too soon!

Also, three staring even the second fight is next to impossible because you have to complete it in under 7 rounds. Well, it takes half that many round just to get to the last two enemies, let alone killing the first 3.

This game is just another failed strategy on IOS and a waist of money.

Not on par with their other games. I want my money back.

Too difficult for the casual gamer -- the enemy usually outnumbered the player 4/1. Too simple for the hardcore gamer -- the units are unbalanced without enough variables.

The game had potential but was quickly ruined by the fact that you can't play the game any other way than what the devs want. They added a stars system that force you into 1 line of play and that's it. It's basically angry birds Wild West.SAVE YOUR $3. Tl;dr lazy devs, bad game.

Fun game. I just beat the story games all toons max level all 3 stars all the way to level 24 on each, which is very hard to do and to my dismay no programmers egg congratulation for taking the time and beating the game.

I couldn't wait for this game to be released. So far it's been a great disappointment. The UI and AI are fine. Music, gameplay and animations are ok. It's just not as much fun as I had expected from a Mika Mobile release. Could they have made it more fun? I'm sure they could have, but they didn't. It just falls flat.

The one other thing that gets me is in app purchases in paid games. I usually don't buy these games, but I did in this case because I had faith in Mika Mobile. Would the boosts made the game more enjoyable for me? Possibly but I'll never know because I refuse to use IAPs for paid games.

Maybe I was spoiled with the Battle Heart games? Or maybe turn based strategy games such as this aren't for me.

It's a shame too because they worked so hard for quite a while to release this and judging by the amount of reviews it doesn't appear to be a big hit. I hope I'm wrong.

Did I waste my $2.99? Absolutely not. It's a finished product put out by a quality dev. If you're into this type of game maybe it's for you. It's not for me.

Lacks fog of war, please add that option. Nice western charm/feel to it.

Might try warbits instead.

Would recommend if fog war was added.

3.5 stars out of 5 in current mode 9/30/2016.

First off let me say that I personally LOVE tactical based RPGs like this, final fantasy tactics for the playstation and dungeon of the endless on steam to name a couple where you have to think critically about your parties composition to succeed. Coming from someone who's played these games all his life since he was a kid I can honestly say this is right up there with the best, the only thing holding this game back is perhaps the audience and the fact that theres little to no hand holding, I don't think iOS is a platform for these kinds of games, I'm glad Mika Mobile decided to bring this here, now I and many others have something satisfying to play on this platform in the way of a tactical based RPG. My only real gripe is the lack of online multiplayer but its still a 5 star game regardless.

I really like the game, but it crashes every time I return after hitting the home button or locking my phone. That happens constantly when your playing mobile games, so it's a real problem. Maybe it is iOS 10 related. If they fix that issue, this would be a 5 star game.

Every time Mina mobile releases a new game I get very excited they have all been 5 star games for me. This game is absolutely awesome. The music, sound effects, the story (still haven't beat it). The only thing that lets me down is the battle animations. When you compare this game to other strategy RPGs it excels in all area except for that. Take, in my opinion, the greatest strategy RPG ever, fire emblem. You move your units across the map, the same way you do this, but when you come into conflict you go into a better graphics fight. I know it's something petty, but it's one of the small things I've always enjoyed about other. Also the in app purchases for a paid for game. Other than those two things the game is still with the 2.99$, just not 5 stars.

Fun little game. Creative unit variety. AI needs some major work, they will build non combat units (buffing units like Snake Oil Men) when they have no units left which makes zero sense. But overall it's still pretty challenging.

If they added some minor RPG elements, instead of your hero/units progressing on a 100% linear path, would probably be a 5/5 game.

Great game. Lots of units to choose from and levels to play. Very polished game overall.

This game is insanely difficult.

It's very hard to make everyone happy. And that's just because everyone has different tastes. I personally LOVE this game. I was a HUGE fan of Advance Wars and this is the closest thing I have found to it. I hope some more maps are coming. I would happily pay extra for more content.

This game offers a really entertaining combo of fun and challenge. The levels are entertaining even on repeated plays, thanks to the star-earning system. Every character you put on the board counts and every round is important. Difficult to put down!

One of the best strategy games i have ever played. It's fun, smart with excellent storyline.

I'll try to write a review of the game as it is, and not how I wish it were.

The game itself if a turn based strategy game with light RPG elements that affect your units' power. Maps are hard and there are some moments that depend on luck. There's some element also of getting used to how the AI makes its decisions which can make the game feel more luck driven than it may be.

Another thing they've done well is the IAP system, which effectively let's you pay very minimal prices to get access to quasi-expansions. I applaud this choice as it will hopefully help Mika stay afloat and allows players to pay for as much extra content (up to a point) as they'll enjoy. It's elegantly and non-intrusively implemented.

The game I was hoping this would be was a tactical turn based replayable RPG (with randomized maps) in which I could play the Legend characters as a single party together on each map. Perhaps they'll make an expansion like that. A turn-based western-themed battle heart, I suppose (FFT-like). I recognize if that's what I want I should look elsewhere as that's clearly not the game Mika wanted to make, and it would be hopelessly foolish for me to review them on the basis of what they didn't want to make.

Overall fun game, would recommend for folks who like unit-driven tactical strategy games.

I'll add this: your mileage will vary for replay value. If you like pass-n-play multiplayer you'll enjoy this one, if you don't you'll be playing the same missions over and over with slightly varied unit characteristics.

Lastly, minor bug: the necromancer's perk that makes graveyards heal also heals enemy units -_-

These guys made one of my two favorite app games battleheart legacy (other is faster than light). So buying this was a no brainer. I like srpg's from back when I was a kid. Plays out like a shining force type game with more disposable characters.

10 levels in and I've decided to delete this game. Why, you ask? On the surface it looks great - good value for money, retro turn based strategy with a fun western theme and characters. So what happened?? The gameplay is simply flawed. Every level is painful to play. From about lv 5 on the game is so tough, and odds so stacked against you it just becomes a miserable, unforgiving unsatisfying experience. There is no flexibility in gameplay or strategy. Let me explain - it's like playing a game of chess repeatedly except the opponent has 4 times the number of chess pieces and has setup the board so massively in his favor that there is only one possible way to win. Not only that but the opponent can infinitely respawn new units every turn (from all of the bases it gave itself at the start of the game of course!). To compound things further, you can only get 3*s on a level if you finish with very few units defeated (I can live with that) and - and this is what makes me fuming - within an impossibly short timeframe. It's a miracle to win a level at all, but when you see that 1* you worked so hard for it just makes you feel sad. It's a shame because the game has real potential if they just fixed the reward: pain ratio and gave greater flexibility to the player in terms of strategies to win. I absolutely love these kind of strategy games and thrive off the challenge. Unfortunately this game offers me zero motivation to carry on given the pain and heavily stacked odds in the AI's favor. Stay clear of this game unless you're a masochist.

This is game is great for anyone who may have enjoyed the advance wars series. It offers some missions that are completed with general ease and some missions that took me quite some time to complete. It is extremely difficult to be OCD and get all the stars but it is complete able nonetheless. Overall this game is wonderful and has had me hooked for several days playing this over some more in depth games I have and enjoy. Would love to see a map editor which would add even more replay ability but overall a great game that gave me a bit of nostalgia with some wonderful new and exciting environment.

I have played through the campaign two times and I am on my third play through now. Such a cool feature to be able to play through with different main characters. I really enjoy this game, and highly recommend to fans of strategy or turn based style games.

LOVING this game! It is very much like the Fire Emblem games with a western cowboy theme. The controls are fantastic and music/audio has a catchy western feel.

I've put in about 10 hours so far and only about 4 missions out of 24 or however many. You can pass each mission with 1-3 stars; if you just go for 1 star it's pretty easy. But going for all 3 is quite challenging, even on the early missions.

If you like Fire Emblem (or FF Tactics) you will most definitely get your money's worth.

Like most of the other reviews are saying...this game has some major problems with difficulty settings. It's completely random. An easy fix to this would be to add the ability to adjust difficulty on an individual level basis.

Due to this issue, I find myself not playing this game nearly as much as I'd like to. If this problem was fixed I would be all over it all the time.

Other than this issue, the game is awesome. I was a huge fan of advance wars and this a great reimagining of that game. Same mechanics with better graphics and animation and a new setting/story.

I've always wanted a western strategy game since like forever. Mikamobile has totally hit the mark with a sensationally fun and challenging western strategy game with a little twist. The game has several units at the player's disposal that range from "cowboy tanks" to werewolves! The combat and story are great, along with an awesome random match lobby. I did find the matches a little chaotic though with multiple players all going and moving several units. I did also encounter a few bugs along the way with camerawork and a couple weird story missions. There is like no real explanation to what strategy in the game looks like, but I loved that aspect! Awesome game, I'd love more like it! Totally worth the $!!!

Buy it, love it, support the team and auto level up a few characters. No regrets here. Hope they make more of this gold

I think the game really deserves barely 4 stars. I gave 5 because I feel an incredible sense of rage when I see people giving 1 star reviews because the game is hard. Honestly that is unbelievable. Get better at the game. No wonder real gamers don't take mobile seriously.

Plz plz change:

Ranges seem random. Unclear why troops are able to move certain amounts of spaces in one direction but not the other. Also, it is difficult to determine enemy troop ranges because game does not show potential maneuverability, just where they can move at the moment. This is problematic when I am trying to get my troops out of enemy range but when I move my troops, the range changes because my troops were blocking the other troops' movement ranges. For example, my medic and gunslinger are in range of a cavalry, so I move them both back one space each. But now they are still in enemy range because my medic and gunslinger were just blocking its full range and giving it a smaller range, but now since they moved back a space the cavalry is able to use its full range and still attack them. Plz plz just make it easier to see the enemy troops' actual ranges.

Super super annoying thing:

While playing as Wyatt Wilcox I unlocked the skill to give my riflemen the ability to shoot one space away, but this ability does not apply to my "living legend" himself. Therefore, my regular riflemen are almost superior to Wyatt Wilcox because they can shoot point-blank and he can not. This doesn't make sense because Wyatt is supposed to be the best rifleman but the regular expendable riflemen are better.

There should be a skill tree for the living legends as well.

Some levels are challenging in a fun way. However, some levels are just plain hard and boring because the enemy has such a huge advantage. In fact, some levels take up to an hour to complete(50 rounds).

First and foremost, this is a great strategy game with lots of depth. It's unique, addictive and entertaining on all counts. The characters are well designed and the layers of strategy are thick. I definitely recommend it.

That being said, I do have a handful of gripes. The difficulty is a bit ridiculous at the beginning, but with a little patience, you'll slowly develop your strategy and get the hang of it. Even while improving your tactics, I wouldn't necessarily consider it well-balanced.

There are a few missed opportunities... I agree with reviews that criticize the lack of user-control while leveling up. It would at least be nice to have a summary of the Legends' stats so you can compare strengths/weaknesses between the characters. When I see 5% increase of some stat, that increase is relative to only that character... I have no frame of reference to how it compares to other characters.

Also — a minor detail and miscellaneous observation — the level select seems like it needs to be visualized over a map of some kind as opposed to a table. That would be more conceptually relevant to the story.

The most significant issue with the game is that a character can reach maximum level before their story is complete. The problem with this is that while playing the later levels, your character doesn't gain any more experience while attempting to beat a level. So if you're defeated before completing that level, you don't receive any experience and therefore you have nothing to show for it. In my experience, this diminishes motivation for completing the game with that particular character.

Despite those fairly minor issues in the big picture, this is a great game and I'm looking forward to future updates!

Good thing first: good strategy game. Theme and story line is good. Lots of levels, currently 24. Have three modes to play: main story, challenges, custom games. Interesting part is legends which are main characters with special characteristics.

Not good part: it's get very hard in story mode after level 15. You can literally feel that it's one sided which kills interest. I am stuck at level 16 from last 4 days.

Another boring part is that you cannot skip opponents move. U have to wait until opponent completes his move, you have fast forward option but still it takes time and Kills fun.

There are similar turned based strategic games but this one has potential to be unique with several changes.

I love playing this game. But the difficulty is all over the place. I beat the first 3 levels without losing, although with only 1 star most of the time. But after that, I have had to play some levels 8-9 times before I am able to beat it. I almost never have problems with games, but playing the same level over and over again to get to the next level to play over and over again is very frustrating. The losses are usually bad at the beginning. I have 6 units and no money and get 200 dollars per turn. The computer has 15 units, 2 taverns for making more units and gets 400 per turn. So they usually destroy me. But who can win with those odds?!?! Then when I finally do beat it, it's a significant victory. It seems like there is no happy medium.

So far I love it. I have managed to get three stars on the first 5 levels that I have played. Levels 4 and 5 probably took 15-20 tries each to get that elusive 3rd star. The great thing is that I learn a little bit each time. Knowing how to use each unit to maximum effect, and more importantly which unit to buy is key. It is difficult but fair. The value for your money is insane. I will easily have several hundred plays before finishing with my first character, and there are three to play plus the challenge maps.

After the first level the game takes a noticeable difficulty spike which is fine but as the game progresses the difficulty gets just dumb to the point where it would be impossible to get 3 stars. Once u get to the levels where u face undead hordes their is no yo little strategy its just the enemies all out rushing u and your defenses getting slaughtered. This is especially so for the spell casting undead that get extreme range and damage and can attack and move on the same turn. To make matters worse they turn the defenses they kill against. This game could be solid but with ridiculous difficulty its just extremely dumb and boring. As the game is now its not worth the 3 bucks

Very nice little turn-based game. It's perfect for the iPhone, I prefer to play it there than on my iPad. Hope they release some expansion packs, would be very happy to pay some money for new levels.

Very good value for the money, very nice not to have any IAPs or at least not needed--but it would be very fair to charge for new levels of course.

I like the game in general. The wierd west says it all :P. Tho, skill tree does make things better tho. This game is basically like Aw & Fe for the price of one. A little improvements regarding to human units and some others. I'd recommend human units to be a bit cheaper, same to gyros and allow the gattling gun to counter, so its melee won't be useless. Also, add some more monster units, they're quite underpowered (except for those goddang wolves :P). 5/5, must buy.

For those who think this game is too hard and a fail, man up! There's no spoon feeding in this game. Too easy and it's boring. [To Mikamobile] At least give them a little easier difficulty to quit their whining.

Another hit by Mika Mobile! I generally don't play turn based games, but this one caught my interest. Took one star off because the difficulty ramps up fast. The third face off starts you COMPLETELY outnumbered. Hey, I understand there are hardcore gamers who want a super tough challenge. Incorporate an easy, medium, hard choice for casual gamers like me, and this will be five stars all the way.

I'm a big fan of Mika mobile's Battleheart series. This newest game take that style and gameplay and transplants into to a Wild West/Steampunk/Gothic setting. The real-time mode, pseudo-3D has been modified into a turn-based, top-down version.

The gameplay is more strategic and less frantic than Battleheart's but the same polish and forethought are there. The art style is same anime-ish cartoon as before; it's great.

The setting has been moved to the Wild West but slowly adds in Steampunk and Gothic horric elemets (you'll soon be facing things like Steam tanks and werewolves).

I highly recommend. The only criticism would be the AI, the computer is not that smart (i.e. sending in one unit at a time or purchasing the wrong type of unit to counter yours).

The game is extremely fun and time consuming, which makes me feel as though it was money well-spent. I enjoy strategy games and although this game, like many others have mentioned, is very difficult, it is doable and that it what matters. Trial and error are key in this one. Overall, I do agree in further updates difficulty should be moderately decreased, but who knows, that may make it too easy!

If you liked AdvanceWars, this game will be great for you. Gameplay and difficulty is perfect for gamers used to the genre and those good at analyzing situations. Graphics are smooth and to my liking. Music and sound effects are spot on. There're a few places where buttons and controls can use some customization and optimization. (Ex. Turning off confirmations and moving "exit" and "surrender" buttons.) All-in-all the game is a lot of fun and most definitely helps alleviate the drought we've been having in the genre, and not just on mobile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Updated review: Mika Mobile has set the bar quite high. This game is great, but it misses the mark. Should you buy? Absolutely! But the progression is the main issue. It chooses upgrades to troops based on level ups. Instead of choosing a character to level up that is restricted, one should be able to choose their own path to specialize in, with more rewarding upgrades along a skill tree. Ive seen complaints about difficultly. The game isnt hard for seasoned players (yet!) but it needs to ease players into it much more, and not be unfair. That said, the units and tactics are anazing and flow quite well. It deserves 5 stars for sure, and hopefully changes will be made to revamp the progression and difficulty systems.

Old review: Mika Mobile, you are the light in the darkness of money-grabbing knockoffs. I havent even opened this game, but I already know that the ONLY games it might not beat are games ALSO from Mika Mobile!

The game gets very difficult very fast, and chapters can be long so it's very frustrating to lose and start from scratch. You can get three stars per level, but I found it hard to impossible to pass some levels with just one star. It would be better to make it easier to one star a level and save the tougher challenge for getting two or three stars. That way there would be something for more skill levels.

This game is already a good bet for fans of games like Fire Emblem and Advance Wars (more similar to the latter). The unique setting is a nice change of pace. There is a reasonable length campaign (24 missions), a bunch of challenges after the campaign, and local multiplayer against human or AI. Mika mobile has also stated that they may implement online multiplayer in the future if the demand is high.

The current game is already a good purchase, but as a bonus Mika mobile has a solid record of supporting their apps after release so we can expect to see some updates down the line which should further increase the value proposition.

I expected this to be like many of the advance wars clones but with just a skin change. I was wrong. I am on the 21st tutorial/campaign mission. I have seen nearly all of them requiring some deep thought as to the approach to take to survive/win. I have not 3 starred more than a few.

It requires flexible thinking. When do you charge, when do you defend a choke point and attrit the enemy force, when do you go after key targets and when do you have to be willing to give up ground. In addition to positional and terrain concerns this is a lot more than rock/paper/scissors. The different forces have numerous potential interactions. Your conventional troops have a mix of abilities but the addition of steam powered units and the undead really add multiple dimensions to play.

Make sure to use a mixed force and to learn the strengths and weaknesses of all your units. That will give you your best chances. This is a great game for even a much higher price. Thanks for pricing this at an accessible level.

If you like turn based combat that makes you think give this a try. Despite what some have said there are no IAPs at current g.

This game is amazing! I love the gameplay and the art. The biggest problem this game has is the level of difficulty. Most levels I beat have 1 star out of 3. You are timed by number of rounds AND you can't have too many casualties or you 1 star every time. It is ridiculous but I have come very close several times. Add more levels and lower the difficulty please!

I'm not far into the game, but it seems nice so far. It's got appealing graphics and a good premise.

One interface issue drives me totally nuts though: This is a turn based game, so the 'End Turn' button is vital, but in order to end your turn you need to open the main menu, which is weird. It's a huge nuisance during gameplay and ruins the flow.

The 'End Turn' button should be part of the visible interface, because it's a key part of the game. A Menu is for non-gamplay logistical type things about controls and saving, etc.

Putting a critical gameplay control in the menu is like putting chocolate syrup on roast beef. Yuck.

I will say that the immersion factor was amazing... Until the tanks.

I loved the sound of the gunfire and the medical system until I saw the steam tank, which I would've been okay with, but one huge improvement to the art would be to make it look like a lump of rusty steel and not so factory perfect. Same goes for other vehicles. I also don't like the overuse of the match game that slowly devalues infantry as vehicles are introduced, but AW and Warbits did that a lot worse, I guess, cause the infantry still feels valuable for more than just capturing here.

Also, the difficulty is all over the place, but if you're not OCD about getting all the stars you will be able to finish the story. I will note that a great example of a poorly tested level is the one where gyrocopters are introduced; they come in a group of three while cannons try to pin you down from the other side of the cliff, and I had to work my way out of a 57 round hole to finally win that one.

There needs to be major tweaks made to both level design and game mechanics. I'm a huge fan of Mika Mobile, but this game needs work. The early levels don't even try to ease you into the strategy element mostly because the early levels are too difficult to be called introductory. A lot of times you start hilariously outnumbered, which doesn't make the game difficult, just unfair. There aren't enough balancing mechanics to the troops, it all feels very shallow. I'm a turn-based strategy nut, and I feel that this game is heavily inspired by advance wars/fire emblem, but it fails to strike that balance between difficulty and fair scenarios. I want to love this game I really do, but it just doesn't sit with me in it's current state. Here's hoping the game will be more polished in the future.

This is a simple strategy game that builds a fun level of depth as it goes along. It's a perfect mobile game that is all about fun and not about waiting for your base to level up.

It's challenging enough to hold interest. Those who complain it's too hard need to go back to clash of clans or get better. No more spoon feeding you soup.

Buy now. I would pay $5-7 for this game

This is a very well thought out and fun game but it needs a little work. First off the levels are very challenging and the first 10-20 need some cooling down because they are not a very welcoming start to the game. Also it would be nice if the legends would level up while playing custom games so "evil" legends can actually level up without playing impossible challenge missions. Multiplayer battles and a fog of war would also be nice. Other than that, it is a fun game and definitely one worth buying.

I see a lot of people are saying this is too difficult but I'm not finding it that so. Had to repay a few levels but that should be expected and I haven't 3 starred many. Every time u play win or lose u gain exp which makes either your main character better or another unit so if ur stuck after a few tries u should get something to make it easy. So far this is a lot like advance wars but I like the legend character on the field.

This game is great. They took the classic turn-based strategy format, and added a little character progression to keep you motivated.

I love the guitar music on the mission select screen.

I do have one gripe. I feel it's a design flaw. The health bars are below the characters. When chars are stacked on top of each other the health bar of the top character is much closer to the character below and I keep healing the wrong guy as a result. Please fix.

I love mikamobile games. I've played them all and finished them all.

This has the level of quality that I've come to enjoy from them, and a unique art style and play style, but the gameplay leaves a few things to be desired and a lot of frustration that might turn off non-diehards.

The biggest problem is the difficulty is all over the place. I've replayed the same levels many times and sometimes I nail it proudly, other times I'm slaughtered before I even begin. The game is way too hard in the early levels. Way way too hard, and inconsistent.

The other thing I miss is an RPG style upgrade tree. Why do I care about XP and leveling up if I can't see my upgrades, or pick them, or understand what action leads to XP? The game has little replayability without it, and I'm just trudging through the story.

I wish more time has been put into balancing and RPG elements than into the challenge and custom modes -- what's the point of those modes if your character lacks customization to encourage play? I get the game is more about strategy and utilization but then it should have been just about that without any RPG elements.

This is a 3 star review but it's a 4 star game. So that's how I'll rate it, I'm enjoying it more as I play but I nearly put it down forever after the first hour of frustration,

These guys crank out high quality material and this is no exception. I haven't finished it so I cannot say whether it is better than Battleheart Legacy (possibly my favorite IOS game). Fun, humorous, challenging, and pleasing to look at. This game has it all. For fans of strategy games.

I really love all the games Mika mobile made, they are just worth playing and awesome! I got BattleHeart, BH: Legacy, Ninja, Zombie, and this one, almost every game from Mika mobile. I checked their website often and I've been waiting for this game for a long time, just can't wait to play. Mika mobile is a great game company, my favorite game is BH: legacy, I hope they can release BH3 someday.

Saw this and thought it looked pretty cool so I bought it. Not expecting much from it, I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised! Very solid western strategy game with a good challenge. Only issue is having to play the campaign seperately with each legend as opposed to to sharing progress between the three.

Simple control,nice graphic,very strategic ,and not expensive. It reminds me a game I played on Nokia! (When I was a kid) It has almost the same kind of strategic element and idea but that game's background is Middle Ages instead of Cowboys. Anyway, this is a great game and I am look forward to play more!

Mikamobile has always been an auto-buy for me, and this game is yet another home run in my eyes. The game is pretty difficult but requires some serious thought into your moves, otherwise you'll find yourself quickly overpowered by your enemies. The game is very well balanced and is clearly made by people who really genuinely love games. Please give this game a try. Mikamobile is one of the best indie game developers out there and this game is another testament to their creativity and dedication.

Everything that Mika has done is great, I've loved all of their games and been specifically looking forward to a complete genre change.

This Wild West turn based tactics game has all of the same great design and art I've come to expect and is just as fun and clever as everything else they do.
