Not too long ago, the word saw North Korea announce its declaration of war. Has anyone ever wondered what it would be like to be a commander at the front line?
Battle Nations gives a slight insight to what commanding an army is like, albeit simplified and a little exaggerated.
In this game, players are in control of their own nations, equipped with armies and even espionage units for saboteur missions.
Players can choose to pit themselves against the AI, or against real players around the world. Gameplay involves strategic placement of units as well as the actual raw strength of each unit which can be upgraded as the game progresses.
But while the gist of the game deserves many thumbs up, with its depth of content and features, the true cost of the game might come across as a drawback for potential players.
Even though the game is labelled a free app, in-app purchases run expensive with some perks coming up to $49.99. Like most free games that depend on in-app purchases for income, Battle Nations is playable totally free, but after the initial few levels things get extremely difficult and these expensive in-app purchases provide a more than imbalanced edge over other players without them.
