Wizard HexDescription
With other 'classic' board-games making the transition to iOS devices, it's great to see something new taking the center stage.""Wizard Hex only takes a bit of practice to ease in to, but once you've played a game or six with friends it will become a staple of anyone's party-game collection.
Wizard Hex is a brilliantly original board game that's a must for fans of local multiplayer So far I’ve been rewarded handsomely for my purchase with games like Small World and Carcassonne filling my time. Now I can add Wizard Hex, a game playable on both my iPad and iPod Touch, to that list!— GameZebo.com (4/5 stars)
Presentation-wise, Wizard Hex looks absolutely superb on whatever platform you choose to play it on. From my humble iPod Touch 2G to the office iPad, the game looks stunning and interaction with the pieces is smooth and sublime.— iPhone-Gamer.net
I loaded up the game, started to play, and I am embarrassed to say how much time went by before I took a breath! … The endless strategy and game play abounds and literally no two games will ever be alike. You think you have mastered a strategy when suddenly it fails and you must think quickly and move forward in that game another way.— NoDPad.com Must Have
Imagine a dark tower – where the forces of the world are harnessed by those brave enough and smart enough to control them. A wizard’s power brings these elements together: the wicked wind, rolling water, contracting ice, tumbling earth, lapping fire and sudden lightning. They will compete to establish control for once and for all.
Wizard Hex – a seemingly simple game. Played on a elegantly designed hexagonal board, you choose your element and then challenge yourself against as many as five other players or as few as one smart computer to attempt to be the strongest and to take forever control.
You begin as an Apprentice, learn to be a Journeyman and eventually challenge yourself and others at the Wizard Level. You play not only your own element but the friendly elements found on either side. Together you struggle to Expand to new regions, Transmute from Bronze to Silver to indestructible Gold, and Attack when the opportunity arises. All the time defending and consolidating a winning position. A new strategy game of resource management and area control – Chess or Go for the modern age.
Wizard Hex is such a great strategy game that we are releasing it first as a traditional abstract piece moving game. Throughout the course of 2011 we will be populating the game with unique Spells that will allow for a more modern fantasy experience. The portal to this clever creation is just now opening….are you ready?
What's new in Version 1.1.1
★★★ Thanks for the great initial response to Wizard Hex! ★ Version 1.1.1 fixes one reported crash bug ★ Better in-game instructions coming soon — thanks for your patience ★★★
We've heard from a lot of players, and we are working hard to complete a larger update which will include some of the top requests: ★ 1. Full instructions added to game ★ 2. Improved AI ★ 3. Game Center ★ 4. Future Wi-Fi and Online play.
For future updates we have the following goals, and we will strive to reach them as quickly as time and funding allows us to:
2. We would like to introduce Game Center into our next big update release if at all possible.
3. Improved AI with every version update. AI is great for teaching new players the game, and it also makes things more interesting when a computer player is added to a human vs. human game as well!
4. We are working out the details of how we will add Wi-Fi and/or internet play options to the game. No promises yet for *how* we will do it, but we are working toward more multiplayer options.
5. Special spells for the elements! We know that many players like the game because if its simple, traditional play value, but we will be offering the optional ability to 'master' parts of the game and unlock special attack or defense spells for your elements! These will also be available as IAP, but they can be unlocked by playing the game as well.
Thanks again for buying our game! Please enjoy playing Wizard Hex with your friends, and we will continue to work toward great enhancements and additions to the game as often and as quickly as we can!
Your reviews and feedback on the iTunes App Store are always appreciated as well.
