Pros and cons of Hills and Rivers Remain app for iPhone and iPad

Hills and Rivers Remain app good for

I am quite enjoying this game! Dont know about the other people on toucharcade forums !
Amazing game. Definitely can get really intense and is basically nonstop action once the game is on. Strategy is imperative. Please get multiplay so we can play against other people because thatll make this game rock like no other!
I first tried the lite mode and found it very refreshing. This game is very unique and can get intense really fast. Easy controls and gameplay mechanics make it easy to pick up and play. I hope other dont pass this game up.
If you liked FF tactics, youll like this game. HOWEVER, like FF tactics, the difficulty ramps up EXTREMELY quickly. This is a real time strategy game, so youve got to be quick on your feet (or fingers in this case). Great game overall though.
Fun gameplay that grabs your attention! It made me miss my bus stop 1 time cause I was so focused on it
I tried the lite verson, and i thought it was so awesome, but when i looked at the price and saw 7.00 i didnt get it..now i got it because its on sale (im so glad!) its EPIC. for only 2controls, this game gets really intense, and you have to really focus. The power ups really add to the game, and its really fun wether your totaly sloughering your opponents, or your running in fear from them (its fun and challanging that way ^^) its awesome, but if you want a simple game thats not to hard.. LEAVE NOW..because this isnt the game your looking for :) The storyline is good which is a bonus ^^ if your not getting it because of the price, try the lite verson youll be hooked as soon as you try it ^^ (get it now because its on sale!)

Some bad moments

The map where the cannons appear keeps on crashing... Cant make it further in the storyline. Fix or money back??
Some 4 years later and the same problems are there. Game crashes once cannons come out. Overall great game play but fix it. You had 4+ years and the same problems still plague this game. Other then that I give it 5 stars.
I wasnt sure how good this would play but after trying the lite version I am very happy with this one
After the first dozen or so levels (few hours of game play)  I finally reached a level I cant beat, I play for 100+ turns but its no use, its 3 against 1. Theres a handicap mode after you lose but a few extra troops doesnt help much when youre fighting three enemies Unfortunately theres not much strategy to this game, its either you have enough troops to win or you dont. If youre placed in an area where there are few bases or theyre very far apart while the computer has bases everywhere youre always going to lose. I only paid $2 for this and I dont even recommend it at that price until they allow players to adjust the difficulty settings
Found myself skipping through most of the corny JRPG story, but otherwise a surprisingly deep and addictive game. Not sure why there are a lot of negative reviews about the game being too hard. Its not. Some stages do require some strategic thinking and planning but old PC strategy gamers will feel right at home. Cant recommend enough! Sequel please? :)
Ok how can you can complain about the difficulty! This is one of square enixs easier games! Ive beaten this game several times over! Ive unlocked every level in free mode and beaten all of them! How can you complain its ridiculous! Unless you have no strategic sense in you there is no reason to complain! This is my favorite game ever! Please buy it!
