Get ready for the ultimate strategy game and join the rapidly expanding group of Stratego fans! From kids to adults, beginners and hardcore Stratego(c) players, both male and female. The new version of Stratego appeals to a much broader audience. Millions of copies of this classic board game have been sold worldwide. Stratego is all about tactics, strategy and cold hard bluff, a combination of chess and poker. " Stratego Multiplayer is by far the best digital version of the old board game classic I've ever played!" - Gamezone "We've had a chance to play it, and fans of the board game version have plenty to be excited about!" - Gamezebo "I had completely forgotten how much fun the classic strategy board game Stratego was!" - Kotaku I won't say beating the AI is impossible, but at the very least the game should offer a choice of skill levels.The classic board game of battlefield strategy, now available on Android! Do you have what it takes to achieve victory against players all over the world on the battlefield? Defeat your opponents in the official Stratego Multiplayer battles! Plus, the AI is what I'd call overly aggressive, as it never forgets the location of your pieces (once revealed) the way a human would. I also found Stratego to be pretty buggy, alternately crashing, producing error messages, or having trouble signing into Facebook. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of this message during testing.
If it doesn't detect an Internet connection, it'll let you play offline. That's insanely annoying, but at least there's a workaround: turn off Wi-Fi (and/or 3G if you have it) before launching the game. The iPad version requires you to create an account or sign in via Facebook (sorry - no GameCenter support), even if you want single-player action against the computer. That would be fine if this were a freemium title, but here it seems a little greedy. (Use an app like Appsfire Deals to track its price.) What's more, you must buy "battle coins" if you want to unlock new avatars, battlefields, and other game content.
That strikes me as a little steep, though it's a good bet it'll be cheaper down the road. On the iPad it'll cost you $6.99 for the privilege.
Of course, Web and Facebook strategists (Stratego-ists?) get to play for free. Yep, the game supports cross-platform play, so you can tackle Facebook friends just as easily as you would your fellow iPad owners. For starters, you can create and save multiple board setups (i.e., troop deployments), a huge time-saver and a great way to test how various deployments work against your opponents.Īnd speaking of opponents, the app lets you play against a virtually unlimited supply of other humans, be they on Facebook, the Web, or another iPad. That curiosity aside, Stratego for iPad does a fine job recreating the original while adding some welcome digital touches. Granted, the board would be cramped on an iPhone or iPod Touch screen, but I've seen plenty of other games work around that. Remember Stratego? It's the classic capture-the-flag boardgame.
