A selection of great iOS strategy games is on sale now!

Post by Daniele »

Apple is progressively removing support for 32 bit apps, including a number of Slitherine's older games made in 32 bit and they will not run after your device will be updated to iOS 11. When this will happen, all 32-bit apps will forever be removed from the store.

We are massively reducing the price of these games from today until July 13th! This is your last chance to get them at a great discount!

Check out the list below!

You're selling games you know will be useless after the upgrade...?

Install the games and then don't upgrade to IOS 11 and they won't be useless. ;)

That's my plan.

Kind of curious though - was expecting to see Legions of Steel and StarHammer on this list.

Ah - ok thanks - need to find that list again.

Or is the list mentioned above the full set that are on the chopping block?

This is the full list as far as we are aware. Unless Apple has any more surprises up its sleeves....

Ok thanks - .... getting used to rejecting IOS upgrades.

They are persistent but I am steadfast ;)

I understand allowing some older games (Legion, BA) to die, but I don't understand letting games die that are barely three years old (BA2). I'm sure this is a labor of love and not one of profit, but who on earth is going to pay full price for these games when in 2 or 3 years they will be obsolete? Some of us just acquired the above games. This is very unfortunate for all concerned.

Hi,

I have to say that I'm a bit upset about this news. I've bought two of your games on the PC as I do most of my gaming there but also bought Battle Academy 2 on the iPad so I could play on the go (not than long ago but before it was made clear that it would not be updated to IOS 11).

I've not had the chance to even play it properly and now I find that when I update the ipad to IOS11 (and not updating is not an option for me) it will have to be deleted.

Please can you consider offering those who have bought it on IOS a free PC key to replace it? I would have thought you would be able to see all of the apple IDs that had bought it easily enough to tell if they are legit. That way, while I can't play it on my travels as intended, I could at least play it at home.

Thanks.

Please stop telling us to go back and look at another thread which may or may not have the answer. Just answer the question.

Well that link told me they are at least looking into it and have asked Apple if and how they can send Steam keys to customers, so it mostly answers my question :D

One other question Iain - since El Alamein is not on Unity and is not 64 bit, will it potentially be joining this sale list?

Given the mixed feedback and it's impending fate on IOS, it may not be worth 9.99 - but perhaps at half price, it would make more sense.
