Despite being mechanically simple, the game knows how to keep you cautious the whole time. In Conclusionįor a completely free mobile game, Antiyoy offers a lot of value. You can change the skin of the game if you don’t like the default (the newly added Jannes Peters skin is one I like), and you can change the game to the Slay rule-set instead of the normal one, and enable diplomacy so that you can be friends with another nation. For a completely free mobile game, that’s a lot of value.Īntiyoy also offers some customization options, for both gameplay and visual elements. If none of these appeal to you, there is even a level editor as well as user levels to choose from, on top of saving and loading replays. You can engage in a campaign of 119 levels of increasing difficulty. You can also decide the size of the map and the difficulty. You can play a skirmish against AI players, engage in 7-player hotseat multiplayer, or watch the AI duke it out (a feature I appreciate seeing in competitive games). This ultimately lies down to the variables of the maps. If you leave a nation alone, it may become a superpower, and then you will have a very hard time going up against them as they typically have a strong economy, allowing them to always retaliate and stop your advances.ĭepending on how you play and the map type, a typical session can take five minutes or even half an hour.

All players play in rounds and have the choice to undo their changes if they don’t end their turn. Units need money to prevent them from starving, and should you have negative production, you will lose money until you have none left and your units starve to death. Using this money, you can buy units to expand, defend your land, and fight enemy units, or build farms to generate more money, or towers to protect your lands from enemy units. In Antiyoy, you own one or more chunks of land, which produce money. At a download size of only 7.1MBs, it’s a game that excels in its simplicity, completely free and open-source with no ads or in-app purchases, or even permissions or trackers to speak of. I had stumbled upon Antiyoy by chance, and I have to say that I like the development.Īntiyoy is a mobile, hex, turn-based, strategy game inspired by Sean O’Connor’s Slay.
