Stratego ® Single Player Wiki

I find this version of Stratego highly addictive. The Dutch designers have done a great job. Some spelling errors in the campaign briefings should be corrected. AI difficulty at the hardest level is good although a good player should have no difficulty with it in battle mode. Campaigns are a different matter; Player is outnumbered and outranked in several scenarios which makes for interesting challenges. Sound effects are good, as are the graphics. Overall a satisfying purchase.

People Yes you can set up the board the way you want it, and you can also change the settings where the Marshall is 1, General 2, and so on. But then again, some people think walking and chewing gum is difficult.

Game, LOVE effects, LOVE but i have some things you might wanna fix, #1. AN UNDO BUTTON!!! I know that sounds like something I shouldn’t have put in all capitals and maybe I shouldn’t have but i’ve made some plans playing the game and as i’m about to hit the square i want to move to I accidentally hit the square i didn’t want to hit and instead of it takeing me 1 turn to get to the square i want it takes 3! #2. I love doing campaigns on here they’re really fun like “napoleon’s waterloo” or “the fall of baron” and my thing is there are only 2 i think there should be atleast 4! And when i want to redo the campaign i push next and it doesn’t even give me the next battle! #3. Again about campaigns I don’t like how they criticize you after you did your best to win! Especially in “napoleon’s waterloo” napoleon criticizes you like CRAZY becase you try your best to win and then you lose then he pops up and says “my plan was flawless you just didn’t execute it properly” or something really annoying. so i’d like for you to consider these changes and please fix atleast 1 or 2 of them Thank you.

This game is just like the board game. You can manually place your pieces. The campaign is pretty easy, I completed it in about 1hr or less. But the AI in the battle mode (board game mode) is good. I have a strategy that I have never lost with so I am undefeated against the AI but the put up a good battle, having said that they are a very defensive AI. They don’t attack much. So if your game play is defensive it could be a long game. I found them to be very smart with their Marshall and makes it hard for the spy to attack it. So in that case is why I say the AI is good. All in all a good game just like the classic board game. Ps. You can have the pieces numbered increasing or decreasing in the options menu.

I won’t waste time listing enhancements. Suffice it to say I agree with all the other suggestions. Good play. Decent AI. Good graphics. It would be nice to have some of the original board game options built in as options to select in the digital version. It would really be nice to see the opponent’s board after a game. Don’t stop. A few easy fixes and this is a five star review.

I’ve been playing this game for a years and have always been able to play in landscape view. I would give it 5 stars but all of a sudden, it only loads in portrait. And yes, my screen rotation lock is off. What gives?

This has been a favorite and a great game until the last update when the landscape capability was removed. Now it only plays in portrait mode on the iPad. Please fix this.

Here is my story: Not one piece touched my bomb, but it was out in the open. Just so coincidentally, that bomb was concealing my flag. And maybe just lucky (For the AI) happened a level 8 miner (or level 2 I think for those who play it backwards) happened to stumble upon my bomb and broke it. Not one piece touched my bomb. Then the AI just so magically knew my flag was there and took it out. Also, I have been going back and forth with my level 3 piece (level 7 for others) and chasing level 7 and 8 pieces. It is like the AI knows exactly where my pieces are and what rank, also like the AI's 1 piece just happening to know where my Spy was. Improvements: Fix the AI. Another improvement: Make it so a 1 can't attack a spy and defeat a spy.

Why can't we pick where we want to place our pieces on the board at the beginning? I want to select: (1.) where I want my flag (2.) Were I want my powerful pieces (3.) were I want my bombs By taking that away you take away the beginning strategy, that's half the battle. Bad move people... Still it's Stratego and fun but you could do better.

Everything is cool but the fact that as a player you can’t repeat moves but the AI can makes it borderline unplayable if it gets in a tough situation. It wouldn’t be a big deal if the AI didn’t actively abuse this, as they know that once you move a certain way too many times their path is clear. Doesn’t make sense, and seems like a huge oversight in what could be a great app for a great game. Should be five stars, but since I paid for it, it’s a two.

Fun for a short while. One campaign, then you have to pay more. Classic mode works best. Campaign and Quick game don't show captured pieces or allow you to change initial position of pieces. Sometimes pieces don't move in the direction you indicate. Can be very frustrating especially when in close proximity to enemy pieces.

This game is a total sham, no fun to play at all. At low and medium difficulty the enemy is completely inept and i think it might be impossible to lose. On the difficult setting the increased difficulty is not due to a more capable enemy, but due to direct knowledge of your game piece locations. At this difficulty I have never once killed an enemy with a bomb - enemy pieces easily navigate through large blocks of unmoved pieces, destroying any lower ranked piece and circumnavigating every untested bomb. Will ask for my money back for sure. AVOID!

Even at the most difficult level, I can beat the computer quickly every time - and no I'm not that good. My dad can beat me every time. The computer makes the most basic mistakes and is even predictable. Horrible. Another thing is that we have to pick from preconfigured board configurations and there is no option to setup own pieces in a custom way.

The board game is amazing but this app isn’t. The game limits how many times you can move back and forth but not the computer making it impossible to catch your opponent and the computer plays the game as if it already knows where your pieces are, how to move and avoid your bombs and Generals and that gets frustrating. I love playing the real board game but not this app.
