Age of War

The old classic, brought to Android. It's well implemented, but that's about it - it's the same old game we used to play on the internet, nothing new or improved. The real reason for two stars comes from the audacity to charge around €3.60 for an expansion that adds ten distinct characters to fight. These characters are gimmicks; and artificially inflated in difficulty (i.e., being described to use a strategy but really just being an age ahead of you and having 4x unit health compared to you).

Great port, loved the original, however I have 2 issues. 1. The flashing reminder to upgrade to the next age is OBNOXIOUS. There are times I don't want to upgrade, but the flashing actually bothers my eyes enough that I just press it to get rid of it, ruining whatever fun run ideas I want to try. 2. This is a small one, but why no ability to turn off sounds from the main menu? Outside of that, they did a great job. Change the flashing icon and it's 5 stars.

Faithful recreation of an old flash game plus an extra game mode you can pay to get access to. The only changes noticeable between this and the original is that the last age's turrets don't hit the enemy base in this one, and damaging spells can hit units anywhere instead of stopping a ways short of the enemy base. Oh, and while I noticed a fair few reviews claiming to have game data loss issues, the only times that's happened to me were when I completely closed or launched fresh the game.
