    However closely you choose to follow the ravages of war, in the turn-based strategy genre Ravenmark reigns supreme. Boasting AI that can outflank you at 10 paces, and 15 varied campaign missions with the promise of more to come, at two quid it's a steal; with multiplayer, it'd be obscene.

    If you have just a bit of love for strategy games, you will fall for Ravenmark. For a ridiculous price, you'll get a masterpiece. This title excels on so many sides, that you'll be amazed you're playing on a smartphone. Witching Hour Studios begins its journey on App Store in a excellent way, keeping our expectations very high for their next title.

    The involved narrative of Ravenmark is the icing on this multilayered strategy cake. The campaign story of political intrigue involving several different nations and subtle plays for power is the extra little push that will keep players hopelessly engaged with this game.

    For fans of titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars, Ravenmark will certainly scratch that strategy game itch.

    Pretty impressive for a debut game. Excellent mechanics, I really wouldn't mind playing an enchanced PC-version. [Feb 2012]

    This turn based strategy is not for casual Caesars but a very ambitious project for sophisticated generals. The creative formation system and the challeging campaign will keep you busy for weeks – one turn at a time.

    An engaging, polished, and deep strategy game with just a few niggles to dull the shine.
