Developer Description

Twilight Struggle: The Cold War, 1945-1989

"Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..."
– President John F. Kennedy

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over!

CARD BASED EVENTS
The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world!

IMMERSIVE STRATEGY
Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.

This is probably the best war themed board game that I played. From the strategic standpoint, it's a nice hand management game where you play a card's event or use its point value to perform a different action such as placing influence in a country. Of course, each event is based off of one from the cold war's history. So prepare to learn more about the cold war as you play.

Great game, very well executed for Android. Only one comment: there is no need for the game to access my camera, sensors, contacts, microphone and storage but I keep getting notifications to give permission to access these. I will change to 5 stars once this is removed.

There are two problems with the game. First, cards animations are too slow, even the fast setting makes no difference. Second, the buttons on the upper corners will get cut off on samsung galaxy 21u screen, which makes them hard to press. The upper left one can be adjusted using the phone's own setting, but the upper right corner cannot be adjusted. The game needs to be able to adjust the screen size within the game itself, or having bigger buttons.

Aside from being an obvious port with major problems on mobile, there are also other issues with the game itself. For one thing, it is painfully slow, the computer player should not take longer than the human player, full stop. Also the AI just wins ties I guess, I had a tie in 1991 and it just said the Computer player won the game with no reason given.
