Codex of Victory - sci-fi turn based strategy

I've been hesitant about buying this, it's been on my wishlist for a while. I'm glad I did! It's a refreshing mix of base building and turn base strategy. The turn base strategy reminds me of advance wars in all the best ways. The game requires forward thinking and thinking ahead, you build your units before battle meaning that if you don't plan out you can lose the game on premise of no prep/units. Worth the price for the game. Just wish there was a skirmish mode AI v human if nothing else.

Its a well-made game. Great graphics, good sound, etc. In fact, the base-building mechanic in between fights is awesome. Its always feels like you are slowly getting stronger, better units according to your own direction. My only issue with the game is that, for me, it moves a little slowly. The main campaign is a tug of war between you and the AI in which you feel constantly battered until you can start upgrading units. And its a bit of a slow march.

I just finished the first arc and I'm very impressed. It combines battlefield turn-based-strategy, base-building, and map movements. It's a little like a mobile SciFi Total War game. All this AND no micro-marketing? AWSOME!! small note: I use an LG G6 and the unique aspect ratio makes some things display differently. The most notable being that overlay windows get the top cut off but so far it has caused minimal interference with my enjoyment of the game.

Excellent so far! No In App Purchases (IAP) - worth EVERY PENNY. Fun, well-balanced turn-based RTS with base building mechanics ala Fallout Shelter. Units can be upgraded using different meterials. After the tutorial planet, the game gets difficult. I like difficult. Bugs: When zoomed out in base view, touching the screen with one finger, then double-tapping an edge room causes that room to change into different rooms (Preon's Laboratory or Missile Center), or deletes the room entirely!

excellent turn based strategy without any micro transactions. The unit upgrade system allows for some replayability through alternative playstyles. If I'd have to point something out that could be improved, some unit upgrades aren't quite as self explanatory on the first playthrough, having a description for each would help. If anyone's looking for a fun tbs on Android (a rare unicorn), look no further.

Turn-based strategy game is good with room for a few simple fixes. X-Com style base building, hexagonal maps with terrain like roads, mountains that affect gameplay. Many different units and upgrades are available for many play styles. Game is fair on easy, challenging on normal, and near impossible on Hard. Needs the following: remove unit\resource overflow, you can keep any mission rewards even if you don't have the space for it, Ability to sell excess units\resources for cash, Multi-player.

An excellent gem with good replayability and production values. There is a strategic phase similar to XCom with base building, research and producing units. The battles are turn-based, with great tactical freedom. The significant unit customization enhances replayability. I liked how macro decisions affected your tactical options. However, it's unclear why/how the AI spawns units e.g. when I took a few bases they stopped coming despite having AP. Decent length, but needs more content.

this is impressive! Im not sure if this is a port but, I think its too big for a mobile phone. the messages in the game itself hides ,some of the buttons and rooms in base view. if theres a way to hide those messages, after you are done reading them it would be awesome edit.: its difficult for me even at normal. maybe Ill try it again in simple setting.

We need to bring these apps back to the front-page! I bought this straight away when I found it. A well-made, relaxing game for a decent price without all the modern horrible freemium ad-fest. Thank you for still providing quality stuff for a one time purchase. I would give you 5 stars simply for this reason, the fact that the game is actually fun as well is more of a bonus to be honest.

Really good game. Classic turn-based strategy with some clever additions. The thing that stands out is how well balanced it is. Hard, but not too hard. Good replayability (I completed it without even upgrading my factory, so there are units I never really used, different strategies to try etc.). Well done!

Update = Problem resolved and really enjoying the game. It's a pleasant balance of game mechanics. While it does draw on ideas from other games, it manages to be its own. // Old review = bought it. It shows that I purchased, but won't download. When I choose install, it takes me to the payment prompt.

A great game, but some of the seen dialogs reappear, though that isn't really a problem. When a certain location got taken or attacked by the enemy and I managed to take it back the same event happens and I lost the upgraded version of the councelor and it got replaced by his level 1 version instead. I don't know about other characters but this happens to me.

Happy to buy a complete game with no micro transactions. I refuse to download anything with ads or micro transactions. There is no love for those developers and business model. COV is a poor PC port some screen clipping but playable. Story is meh. Somehow beat the game without being able to unlock all base upgrades. Never found rsearch III blueprint. Battle strat was fun. Early battles are harder than late when you can utilize more stats with upgrades.

bought a while back but didnt get around to playing it until recently, this is an all around great game, nice cel shaded graphics, an xcom build like system, terrain effects, etc. works great on chromebook with mouse and keyboard.

Great game, look gorgeous and sounds great, not many like this in the app store (everybody copying Clash of Clans or Kingdom Rush) absolutely love CoV's gameplay, it's like X-Com meets Advance Wars, both of which are very enjoyable games. It may take some time to get used to the game using a phone, also the zoom in and out could be less sensitive, other than that Very well done good sir! very well done indeed.

Codex of Victory is a great turn-based strategy game. It also has a base you have to develop, new units and technologies to discover, and a plethora of challenging missions with a fairly intelligent AI. I haven't encountered any bugs yet, and the game runs smoothly.

Needs a ton of polishing for that price. In current state not worth over $1. Lacks an exit button for multiple actions. Continue button doesn't work. Lack of proper AI, use of numbers to win. The list goes on.

Basically Russian X-Com with tanks, they even copy the underground base building LOL Pros : + Decent battle graphics (for indie games) + Cheap, only $5, bought on sale at $1.5 + Can personalized unit a bit Cons : - Monotone missions, basically kill them all. - Storyline practically none existence - Bad English Translation. - Voice over only in Russia - UI Blocking base building view. - Easy AI, basically just bait them to come out to our ambush. - No Achievement

Good game, but still some bugs to fix. Cant finish game due to bug in the game. In response to the developers, I did email and attempted to get it resolved. I even sent screenshot when I got an in game error message. I received no response and posted my honest review of this game.

Amazing game. Would really like to see multiplayer and player vs computer matches in either an update or new game please... also I wish it wasnt so easy to take over the bases maybe it takes one extra turn or something...

The game is great. After finishing its campaign I want more. It' a common wargame with nice graphics, sound and a good story. There are scents of Herbert's Dune there just for fun. Thanks.

Could be perfect with some UI enhancments and some more polishing but it is very much worth it as it is. Great turn based squad tactics and base management game.

The first thing was written on the tank is to right click my mouse button.... dude its an adroid phone with touchscreen there is no mouse, nothing worked anyways. Stupid port probsbly from PC game. Responds to Developer: Game was not useable cant right click. When you port u need to change text instructions and controlls to function on more advaced devices. Graphics are bad too. To develoer: U said, its unckear, so i clarify it for with whats wrong. You are an idiot and a moron.

Clearly not designed for mobile screens. Poor translations and very unbalanced campaign blocking your progression but not the enemy. Sorry but all in all a cheap knock off of xcom.

Bought this in 2017. Played it lots back then. This game is a standing example of how good games should be on mobile. Only thing I can wish the devs do is release this game beyond the steam platform and also release it on gog. I'd gladly rebuy there. That said, games like xcom building wise and field unit deployment wise.

Completed it in 5 days with full-upgraded base and full-upgraded special units. Wish there's an open world mode or skirmish after the end of the story, so you can have more battles and doing more unit upgrades.

Nice visuals and gameplay, but sometimes the controls can be a little difficult on a smaller screen.

nice turn.based straregy battles with shelterlike base management, actually I was hoping that the story goes beyond that system of 2 planets, but perhaps that would be too taxing.

A really great game. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a fun strategy game. It would be better if there was more to do after the story, like a skirmish mode or something similar, but still worth playing

This is a game as games should be, not those usuall mobile shuffle ware, far and wide between. A bit short, but excellent story. When are we getting a chapter 2?
