Global Conflict! App Reviews

I really dont like giving this game a negative review. I love risk style games and liked this one at first. But the longer I played it the more the flaws became apparent. Here they are. 1: you will ALWAYS lose. In one battle I had 43 armies and the enemy had 9. Guess who lost. Me. Its not that severe all the time. But you will quickly notice for something that is suppose to be random, the enemies will almost always have the odds in their favor. 2: reinforcements. This is where I began to think the game must be drunk or something. At first it seemed pretty standard. The more countries you have the more reinforcements you got. Sort of. And you get bonus reinforcements for controlling regions. Everything made sense till I was in a game with only 2 countries left. One of the enemies had only one country left so you would assume he would get 1 army (I had double that and was only getting 1 army) till on his turn he got a whopping 142 units. My jaw dropped in astonishment as he conquered nearly the entire map. I waited for my massive flux of reinforcements but it never came. Ever. All the computers got over a hundred reinforcements that round and I got 1. This is the point where I uninstalled the game. Makes no sense. 2 stars for effort.

I read some of the other reviews and had to take issue with some of the comments. First, the computer doesnt always win. In fact, I have played this game so often, I almost always win on the most difficult level. There is a way to beat the game. One comment mentioned that late in the game when a side has acquired very little territory it still manages to get a huge amount of reinforcements. While this is true, I have found this to be more of a challenge. In essence you are forced to win quickly to avoid this situation. While there are certain glitches (like not being able to send reinforcements from Russian to the United States), for the most part, this is a very good game. If you like risk, you will certainly like this game. Id definitely recommend it.
