- Reviews -

"Tiny Armies is a fast, lightweight, easy-to-play, game of conquest. This one's worth buying on your iOS device." - Pocket Tactics

"Tiny Armies should be standard issue for all Apple Watch owners. It places an effortless punch right on the button that delivers a knockout." - The Zarf

"This is the type of game you'd expect to play on a watch. Once you start playing - oh my gosh - it's like wait, they're attacking me! I'm not just swiping. It's not passive. These guys are moving trying to eliminate me. It's actually quite fun." - Apple WatchCast

"One level of Tiny Armies takes a mere minute which makes it perfect for short play sessions. The game is fun and fairly challenging, you’ll need some good tactics to play a couple moves ahead and take down Red." - 5 Minute Games

What's New in Version 3.1.1

This update fixes a swiping issue on Apple Watch Series 3. Thanks to the players who brought this to our attention!

Love this game

I love this game it’s very nice to have it as an option to play with someone else I’ve used it well waiting in line and it’s nice because it goes on my Apple Watch so I get to play and when I don’t have my phone at work or even if I want to save battery life on my phone

2022-01-13

Lack of content

I loved the game, but I hated how the campaign was less then 30 minutes to beat.

2022-01-13

Pretty good

It’s pretty fun for a game you can play a little anywhere without much time commitment. The Apple Watch feature is implemented well. The only criticism is that the gameplay itself isn’t as strategy based as I would like, a significant portion of it seems to be luck based on the starting position, but besides that it’s not bad for the price at all.

2022-01-12

Nice idea for a board game, mediocre for a fast paced mobile game

The idea is cute, but as a fast paced mobile game the gameplay renders little challenge. AI is often very weak, and to be honest sometimes coming up with an optimal strategy is pointless. Maybe adding a properly long campaign mode without an AI (like 4-7) would help a bit.

2021-12-27

Too random. No way to determine effects of forests spaces.

Just no way to “plan” ahead for many of the space effects, so not actually strategy.

2021-12-11

Amazing game! but I have a few suggestions.

So this game is a really fun strategy game and I love it. The only changes I would make would be a level creator. So I can make my own levels and play thoughs levels with NPC’s and my friends! Another thing is that your game is not online so I can’t play ageist real Peaple that don’t have to be right next to me. That’s it for my suggestions and for the people who are reading this review I think this is a really fun game for phone and Apple Watch! I totally suggest you get it!

2021-10-12

Add dark mode

Simple, fast, and fun game. Needs dark mode.

2021-01-06

Please read

I got this app to mainly play on my watch but When I enter a game it doesn’t pick up on my swipes. I have tried everything and nothing has worked. Don’t get me wrong it is a good and fun game on my phone but sad it doesn’t work on watch

2020-06-18

Good game but...

The games is good but it just starts to get boring. If they could add in new game modes or new levels.

2020-04-28

Potential But Needs Work

This game could truly shine, but needs a few tweaks to get there. Right now there is really very little strategy. The water obstacles usually devastate whichever army attacks first, and the AI often recognizes this and simply moves back and forth indefinitely until you decide to take the risk and then just destroys you (this is especially true in the fog of war levels). Or the reverse is true and you take out half the enemy’s army on your first charge and then mop up.

Deva I love your basic concept, now make some tweaks so there is actual strategy as opposed to just luck.

2020-04-26

Falls short of its potential

As a concept for mobile puzzle/strategy gaming, this is easily a 10/10. It literally could replace Chess or Risk as the next totally original yet traditional turn-based strategy game. But it actually delivers far short of its potential for a couple reasons:

-The obstacles are randomly placed, which is inherently fine, but the nature of them puts the first turn at a disadvantage; for instance, having to choose between drowning in water or putting yourself in a position to be taken.

-Water, mountains and portals are predictable. Campsites are not - they behave completely unpredictably by nature, so sliding toward a camp is a 33% chance of going straight, right or left, which devalues any strategy and makes it more of a cross your fingers and see what happens.

-The AI is really dumb. I mean, it will oftentimes slide back and forth indefinitely between safe moves, forcing you to drown or sacrifice yourself. Or it will move into a positing of being taken. In fog of war, it never moves into water accidentally, meaning it knows where they are. The AI really kills the fun.

At the end of the day, this is a nice iPhone and Watch game that I’ll probably keep for those moments I have 20 seconds or so to kill. But it could be so much more. It could be a real critical thinker strategy puzzler that requires real foresight and planning multiple moves in advance. Ultimately it’s just a randomized slider that is about 50/50 who will have obstacles best aligned to allow them to win.

2020-04-22

RNG

It’s good but too much is left to chance. You could make a series of moves and die one time. Then do the same thing and win. It’s kind of dumb. Still a decent game to screw around with.

2020-04-04

Enjoyable on phone & watch

This is an enjoyable game that involves multiple mini-matches with a combination of luck and strategy.

2020-03-01

99% luck

Nothing wrong with the game works fine, I just find it a bit boring as it is nearly all luck and once in a while you can apply some strategy, which is still going to be about how lucky you get 💁‍♂️

2020-02-02

Fun puzzle game

Fast gameplay and very simple at first. Will ease you into the harder stuff. Fun I’d like games like 2048

2020-01-10

The only game you need

I love this game it’s so fun, it’s strategy, you can play on Apple Watch, and even two player. great game all you need

2019-12-01

I am very disappointed

This is the first time I’ve been disappointed in an app that I actually paid money for. I bought it just because it has a watch app access in addition to on my phone. I played all 8 available levels and I couldn’t progress on to new levels. It sure seemed attractive with all its positive reviews but if you don’t want or don’t have the ability to play with friends there’s no point in this application at all. I just wish at this point I could get a refund, but whatever. $0.99 wasted on a good lesson not to always buy just based on “good” reviews.

2019-08-23

The only game you’ll need on your watch and maybe even your phone.

Simple and addicting. This game captures the spirit of both turn based strategy games and board games into a minimalistic masterpiece. I play this game at least three times a day. Whether I’m cooking some breakfast or riding in an elevator, when the games are so short I can always make a little time. Endlessly replayable and extremely satisfying 10 frustrating forest upsets out of 10. Oh yeah I almost forgot, the local versus is an amazing way to kill time with a friend or partner. Flinging your little mono color comrades back and forth is a great way to make a stale moment waiting for a movie to start into a fun little game of thrones. 10 fellowships of the fling out of 10.

2019-07-05

Great game but with some problems

Tiny armies is an amazingly fun game to play on my Apple Watch when I have nothing better to be doing, but contains a few major flaws such as but not limited to the ai almost never moving into fog because it knows what’s in that fog, and mountains completely blocking a character in its spawn zone making that round impossible to win or lose.

2019-06-04

Potential.

Fog of war is worse than pointless here. Glad there’s a setting to disable it.

A replay option after a loss is a decent idea.

Powerups? Might be fun.

Better AI — easy/normal/hard

2019-06-03

Good mechanics, not always fun

This game is solidly executed and there's something pleasing about the animations.

The random boards though make this game particularly frustrating. There are often maps where there is no winning moves for you or the AI ("The best move is not to play"). In skirmish mode you can customize the occurrence of the map tiles which helps make it a little more probable that it's possible to win.

2019-05-18

Idea

Great app but here’s and idea! You should do a Champion game mode where who every have the most wins in a month would get a prize. Like cash

2019-05-08

Dang!

This is such a fun game to play to play while your bored and really cool cuz it also supports iMessage and Apple Watch as well. All in all, just a really fun mobile game.

2019-04-07

So fun!

It’s the best puzzle game for any time and anywhere I. It’s super fun

2018-09-25

Great game!

Great game but would greatly appreciate an iPhone X update.

Other than that it is an amazing game.

Totally worth .99

👍

2018-09-20

Potential but not there yet

The concept for the game is alright and it is true that it’s easy to pick up and play but there’s a few flaws that I think outweigh the positives.

The gameplay involves swiping to move your pieces in an attempt to “capture” enemy pieces.

As others have mentioned the levels are random each time. Even when you restart a level you get a new random level so there isn’t really an opportunity to learn how to “beat” a particular puzzle. It’s a big stretch to call this a “puzzle” game because of that.

The AI is also laughable sometimes - clearly making bad moves that allow you to win when there would be better options.

Also for some reason when you get to the second “stage” or whatever you call it they introduce a “fog of war” mechanic where you literally can’t see any part of the board and you’re forced to just make random moves and hope that it works out. I’m not sure how that can be classified as strategy.

2018-06-10

Game ends in a stalemate too many times

The concept is good, but in single player mode, there are maps where it is impossible for the ai to capture me, and vice versa. In these scenarios I have no choice but to commit suicide by going into water.

2018-05-24

Please Add My Idea

You should do something where you can customize the map your self you know

This game is fun and the only problem but at the same time isn’t one is when your kinda forced to do the same move over and over when the AI or when me and my friends play

That’s why I want to be able to customize the playing field myself thanks for listening

2018-05-22

Not fun for long

This game has potential, but it’s unaggressive AI, repetition, and unnecessary random factors make it fall flat. Would be okay if it was free. Don’t buy.

2018-05-19

Fun puzzle game

Works well on watch too! Don’t have to open the app on my phone at all.

2018-05-02

Amazing Puzzle Game!

It’s a great game! A very nice game where you need to pay a lot of attention to be the champion! One thing that can be better is to add music and sound to the game but that is just extra sense it’s already an amazing game!

2018-01-19

Game can be fun

This game is great to help pass the time. Entertaining and addictive. Only issue is when you go back and forth for over 20 rounds because the game repeats the same move and if you change you hit a trap. Would like to see a limit on how often you can repeat the same move over and over and over and over and over and over.... get the point?

2018-01-09

Not a fun game, no strategy involved

The boards are randomly generated and your pieces slide all the way across the board with each move. So the outcome is entirely related to where the random pieces get put down. It would be much more fun if you could move one of your pieces one square at a time. Maybe a turn based game more like chess.

2017-12-30

Dank game

Good game guys download it now!

2017-12-29

Decent

Unique and fun strategy game, but gameplay gets old.

2017-10-01

Okay game

Simple and good game to play. The AI gets a little tedious, just moving left and right, not pursuing my pieces. (So one can’t play cat-and-mouse with the AI to try to trap it.)

2017-09-27

Too random, not much real strategy.

Game outcome is mostly dependent on random map generation. Actual strategy is pretty shallow and takes a back seat to luck.

2017-08-24

Love it

It's a great game. Fun to play with friends. Couldn't ask for more.

2017-07-27

Tons of quick fun!

This one is tons of quick fun. It's a super quick fix... Kinda like battle royale in that respect only it takes seconds to play one game. Definitely pick this one up. It's a watch app, but I enjoy playing on my phone as well!

2017-03-18

They did it again!

UPDATE

No bugs. No nonsense. Just glorious (and tiny) action. iMessage is great now!

REVIEW

This game is perfect if you just want a way to waste time. It's especially good for this purpose if you have an Apple Watch. I have spent a surprising amount of time sending my blue squares flying into trees, mountains, rivers, and enemy soldiers. Multiplayer is even more fun.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER

I am having a hard time thinking of more features this game could have. It's pretty much perfect as is; more features might overcomplicate it. But more game modes, settings, and level creation options would be interesting.

2017-02-24

Great game, but...

I love the game. It's great if you need something to keep you busy for a little bit, and I love that you don't need wifi to play it. The only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars is that it keeps freezing, and the only way to get it to unfreeze is to restart my Apple Watch. Please fix this problem

2017-02-20

It's ok

Could be more depth to the game and better random generating but it's cool

2017-02-16

Great game

Fun little pass time on the watch, great game on the phone. Good job!

2017-02-16

Very interesting

Its one thing for it to be a swiping game, its another when you have to strategize for the terrain, very fun!

2017-02-01

Keeps freezing on watch

So I really like this game but I am disappointed that I cannot enjoy playing on my watch because it keeps freezing. I have to force kill app whenever i go into settings and I can't make any changes to settings either. Looking forward to an update!

2017-01-27

Love it

Totally recommend it! So in and time wasting! One dollar so worth it

2017-01-25

Never write reviews, but for this one I had to

Apps such as these shouldn't have to rely on ratings; they should just be well renown as great games. I love the game's look and style, and the AI is very fun to play against. The best part however is that the game was made for short bursts of strategy, and it accomplishes its task remarkably well; I can finish a round in under a minute and find myself wanting to play several more. I also love the fact that you can expand the board to show more units (on the iPhone at least). This means if I want a slightly more drawn out game I can simply increase the playing field and have at it. Fantastic game, I hope more people start recognizing it's quality.

2017-01-16

Amazing game

The game plays fairly well, skirmish mode really helps. I suggest that there are customizable settings for skirmish mode, to make it how you want it. For example, whether or not you want certain things like fog, water, teleporters, etc. There should also be a way to make your own maps. That may take a while, but as this app should grow, just add in this feature and people can share the maps to each other.

Above is my old text, I had it at 4 stars.

They just added customization! So happy.

2017-01-16

Love this game!

Really appreciate the constant improvements that are made. Definitely the best watch game.

2017-01-15

Literally the Best Watch Game

Thanks so much for customization in skirmish! This update literally turned the fun up to 11x11.

The fact that the larger maps include additional soldiers is great! And customizing matches can make for really interesting maps and strategies.

I can't think of a single other game that is so simple yet so incredibly satisfying. If you have an Apple Watch, Tiny Armies is essential.

Original Review: Thank you so much for this great game! It's an awesome strategy game packed in super small portions. I would love to see this updated with many more levels and some new game modes!

I'd like to also see a slightly larger map (9x9 or 11x11, for example) implemented for the Skirmish mode, cause sometimes it feels too short, even for a watch game :)

2017-01-05

FANTASTIC!

Really bought this game on a limb. Well I was instantly hooked! The game really just gets your mind going, I also love using it on the go with my Apple Watch! Love the game and it is definitely worth it!

2016-11-02

Wow

Not going to say it was this game or not. But after installing this, my phone's touch screen stops working. After hard restart, nothing. Finally get to use the screen just enough to uninstall the game (and not the normal *hold* way, I had to go into storage), restart the phone, and everything works fine now.

iPhone 6s Plus is my handset, stay away from this, just to be safe.

2016-10-06

Solid game

The current version I played I have now beaten. It is a relatively short game and works well on the Apple Watch. Each of the "worlds" introduce a new mechanic with a very brief tutorial. I played for about 45 minutes to beat it but for a watch game to come in and play a level ever once and a while, it works perfect.

2016-09-14

Flawless Design

Tiny Armies nails Apple Watch gaming. Period. This is a beautiful design that feels at home on my wrist, with gorgeous graphics, and quick levels with intuitive swipe controls. Can't wait for more levels!
