Slitherine - Page 3

Review: Frontline: Road to Moscow (iPad)

July 2, 2014
Frontline/Frontline: Road to Moscow/iPad/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy

Review by Rob P.  War is brutal. War is a pitiless clash of ideology, a contest of arms, a dreadful reckoning of shattered lives. But war also takes place politely, in turns. One side attacks, then waits patiently while the other side has their go. And when the last shell…

chariot racing/iPad/Qvadriga/Reviews/Slitherine/Sports/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Matt S.  Qvadriga is a turn-based tactical strategy game about chariot racing in the ancient Roman Empire. Let’s let this sink in for a second; it’s a game that reduces one of the most chaotic and dangerous sports the world has ever known to a slow, turn based…

Review: Distant Worlds: Universe (PC)

4X Strategy/Distant Worlds/grand strategy/PC/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy

Review by Rob P. We need to talk about Matt. You know Matt, right? He’s our editor, and he plays games for a living. But I’m worried that he’s taking it too far. He’s already admitted to spending too much time with hardcore strategy games, and Distant Worlds: Universe might…

Drums of War/PC/Reviews/RPG/Slitherine/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Drums of War is something I would have expected to play a decade ago. That’s not a criticism, but rather an understanding at the start of this review that I know this game isn’t going to even come close to appealing to the mass market. In…

Apple/board game/Da Vinci's Art Of War/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Slitherine

Review by Matt S.  Among many other things, Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings and sketches include designs for machines that would enhance the power of the military. Advance guns, cannons and even machines that look like tanks appear in his portfolio. Magnifico is a popular board game that takes Da Vinci’s…

Review: Panzer Corps (iPad)

December 26, 2013
Apple/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Panzer Corps/review/Slitherine/Strategy

Review by Matt S. There is so much to admire about Slitherine’s approach to iOS development. Rather than try and force free-to-play mechanics into its very complex and deep games, and rather than try to compete with Angry Birds and other $0.99 apps, Slitherine is comfortable charging premium prices of…

Interview: Slitherine Director on the trials and opportunities for niche publishers

November 13, 2013
Interview/Interviews/JD McNeil/Matrix Games/Slitherine/Strategy

Interview by Matt S.  You likely haven’t heard of Slitherine or Matrix Games (they’re the the same company), unless you’re an aficionado of serious strategy games. If being a armchair general appeals to you, however, it is very likely that you’ve played a title like Battle Academy, or one of…

Review: Great Battles Medieval (iPad)

July 2, 2013
Apple/History Great Battles Medieval/iOS/Reviews/RTS/Slitherine/Strategy

There are no shortages of quality strategy games on the iPad. But that’s now. It wasn’t long ago that that was not the case at all. There was Civilization Revolution, which was certainly the finest portable version of that game, but it has only been in the last 12 months…

Review: Legion (iPad)

March 20, 2013
grand strategy/iPad/legion/Matrix Games/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy

Matrix and Slitherine are strategy game specialists, and as such I have always been a bit disappointed that they haven’t done more with the iPad format to date. Here is a platform that is just perfect for strategy games and has really, so far, undelivered in terms of both quality…

Review: Conquest: Medieval Realms (iPad)

May 9, 2012
Conquest Medieval Realms/iPad/Matrix Games/Reviews/Slitherine

The Lordz Game studio is one of my favourite game developers. These are the guys behind the rather excellent Panzer Corps, and the Commander series of games that has appeared on everything from PC to Nintendo DS. Consistently, Lordz produces wargames that are a nice mix of accessibility and depth.…
