Summary
Time-killer games are immensely popular with smartphone and tablet users—and why not? I mean, they're pretty much ideal for whenever you've got a few minutes to kill. But if you're looking for longevity, strategy games are where it's at. One of the most unique strategy games I've come across is Crazy Tribes and I'm pleased to review it for you today.

What made Crazy Tribes stand out for me is its unique setting. Another reviewer recently commented that most strategy games are set in the Middle Ages and eras of witchcraft and wizardry—and I while that can be thrilling it's nice to mix it up every now and again. Crazy Tribes is set in a post nuclear war wasteland (think: games such as Fallout and films like Mad Max) and the goal is to ensure the survival of the survivors by helping rebuild a society, form alliances and ward off hostile attacks.
As far as actual game mechanics go, Crazy Tribes is much like any classic strategy game. Choose a server because the game requires active internet connection. Once this is done, you start with your own base with a few buildings that have various functions and need to be spruced up. Here's a rundown of some of the more important ones:
- Headquarters: Command central as well as storage for resources (such as water and ammunition)
- Arsenal: Fighter units are trained here
- Atomic Cafe: Touch down point for missions mercenaries
- Lab: For researching
- Security Wall: Protects base camp from hostile attacks
- Bazar: Bargain for resources
- Greenhouse: Food is grown here
The buildings and their functions fit the post apocalyptic theme very nicely. One of your main goals is to expand the buildings and ensure a steady inflow of resources, as well as ensure that lab research is well underway and making progress, and new forces are being recruited.
Every now and then you will experience an attack, so make sure that your defense systems are up and running. Water canisters can help in this department.
Bottom line:
The Crazy Tribes experience is entertaining enough to keep you motivated to keep at it over longer periods of time. There's always something to do and something new to discover. In a nutshell: a pretty solid online strategy game.
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
Crazy Tribes is a well designed but not what I'd call a total eye catcher. The 2-D graphics are detailed and well made.
A definite advantage is that the game doesn't become overwhelming when it comes to graphics, controls and other elements.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
One thing is clear: this game sucks up a lot of power, but that's the price to pay in exchange for enjoying an online game. Crazy Tribes did not crash or malfunction at any point.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
Crazy Tribes is free (and free of ads) and available from the AndroidPIT App Center and Google Play. Water canisters can be purchased with real money, but you can get by without them (these canisters can be used to build houses or recruit new units).

My favorite Has a few issues but that might just be my crappy phone. I thought my game was toast but their tech support got me back on track. once I figured out the Web page default language is Dutch I believe. I never put five stars on anything because nothing is perfect but they deserve it for being so helpful

Very fun The game is slow to start, and a little hard to understand at first. But after a couple days I was addicted and now i'm on all the time.

Not bad but not well thought out either. I could be a five if the instructions on game play were readily available

Pretty good. Was working very well until today when it keeps telling me internet is offline. Another thing is I have a phone with a full keyboard but when I slide it out to type a message it brings me back to the main screen.

Wtf Its not letting me connect and I was just playing my internet works fine and it keeps giving me a internal error message saying that the internet is not on but it is and I don't want to uninstall it and then lose everything

Fun but there was an issue. A lot of fun but someone tried logging into my account and got me locked out. There needs to be a way for the game to let you prove you are you. Because now I have to wait for an unknown amount of time before trying again and with no guarantee that it won't happen again. I also have no way to report rhis issue because the game has locked me out.
A Google User, Apr 15, 2013
A few problems... Just let me say, I like this game. Now for the issues, 1. It constantly uninstalls itself for no reason. 2. Ammo exchange rate is god aweful. 3. Do not always get notifications. Fix these issues to get a 5 star rating. And maybe some by music? Not needed, but would be nice.
A Google User, Apr 13, 2013
Sucks! Force close? :/
A Google User, Apr 13, 2013
Really good I really like this game! But it has some loading issues, like the base not showing up and my messages do not load so my messages are building up! Really adictive though!
