Pros and cons of Frozen Synapse app for iPhone and iPad

Frozen Synapse app good for

Have this on computer and iPad. Intense strategy asymmetrical gameplay which will keep you coming back for more.

I dont know how they managed to fit this level of detail on the iPhone. Still requires a bit of getting used to, but a fantastic port of the game.

Challenging and fun strategy game, fully ported over from the PC. Excited to get some games in over mobile. Personally appreciate the smooth landscape/portrait swivel you dont often get in ports.

The menus are missing a lot of, features ESPECIALLY the ability to delete matches, please add this and it will be 5 stars

I got this game on PC so I bought it the moment I found it on iOS. Unfortunately multiplayer is a mess. Its hard to navigate, confusing to see which game is waiting for your turn and lack of people playing which is probably a result of the problems I just mentioned. The single player campaign though is good enough. Game is only 99 cents so really hard to complain too much. It is worth it just for the campaign. Its like 20 hours of gameplay. Awesome game, just sad that the port is horrible and no signs of updates.

Some bad moments

Horrible interface and the game itself is counterintuitive. Not recommended!

Game hangs in random moments on my iPhone 5s. Also, I am still disconnecting from server. Its not playable for me. Phone restarts doesnt help.

Im not the best at these kinds of games, but this just way too confusing. It doesnt even give you a tutorial. Dont waste your money.

The game is one of the best strategy games on mobile, right up there with breach and clear. The gameplay is an exact replica of the PC, and once you get the hang of it, the UI is super easy to use. Cross platform multiplayer seals the deal as the best strategy game of 2015

I played this game ipad for 15+ hours, it does not disappoint. Campaign is detailed and challenging, online play is incredibly fun and since its turn based you can put your device down and come back to a game at any time. The UI might be a bit overwhelming as they are cramming the functionality of a full PC game into an iPhone, but keep with it and youll be rewarded with a wonderfully in depth, challenging, and satisfying game with infinite replayability. Stop reading and start playing.

This title, which has been ported from the PC, offers hours of tactical gameplay, and is one of the only mobile ports not hindered by touch screen controls.
