How it feels

A lighthearted cartoon strategy game where you build and command colorful units on a hex grid, with battles and resource management unfolding in an automated, gently paced fantasy war.

What players say

Players praise the concept and potential, but consistently say Hexworld is overpriced relative to its current length and depth. Performance issues and difficulty spikes with Aether enemies frustrate many, while the controls feel janky and unit AI is unreliable. Players split on whether it is worth buying now or waiting for updates.
