Frustrating UI on iPhone 5c
Im an absolute beginner at this type of wargame. Looks fascinating; I really want to learn how to play it.
However, its almost impossible to follow the tutorial, unless you turn off the higher resolution graphics first. Otherwise, the text windows wont line up with the units which are being explained.
Ok, can deal with that. But what about viewing the whole battlefield? Well, trying to pinch-zoom in and out seems to screw up the map alignment - large portions of the screen become grey, at least in the higher resolutions. Perhaps there is some way to pull back and view the entire battlefield in lower resolution ... if so, its certainly not obvious how to do it.
I tried several times to access the settings menu and readjust the map view, but only succeeded in making the text boxes too small to accommodate all of the written text.
The UI buttons are tiny and are not very responsive at all. Just calling up the settings menu, one has to tap the settings button over and over. Then, attempting to activate the little bullet point-style buttons on the menu is another exercise in frustration.
Perhaps all of these issues are resolved in normal game mode ... if only I could get there.
It seems this app is not yet ready to be played on a device other than an iPad.
Two stars for distressingly unresponsive controls. Sure wish I could play this game on my phone ...
