I once ran into a computer implementation of an old board game that seemed rather interesting, unfortunately I am unable to recall either. What I do remember:

Probable

  • Java (advertised support for linux)
  • hex tiles
  • recruit squads of magical beasts for combat

Possible

  • recent IOS (or Android) version, unrelated to the Java version
  • hex tiles arranged in concentric "terrain" zones, the goal being to reach the center
  • special (angelic/guardian) creatures with greater powers
  • two modes, one for recruiting and one for combat

This sounds very much like Titan. The Java version may be Colossus.

  • Yes, thanks - right on both counts. Originally I considered this game too complicated (also, Colossus being Java and graphically unappealing), but since having picked up roguelikes I've become open to the idea of slower-paced games. Though, I had given up on ever finding this game again.

There is also Slugathon which unlike Colossus is still active, if sporadically so. Since incomplete, Slugathon currently lacks features and is buggy, slow. The server already provides a ranking system, and the AI seems stronger than that of Colossus. That said, despite its awful UI, Colossus is the better alternative for beginning players.

Anyone else, choosing is a toss-up. I haven't tested Colossus' server (requires a web account), so I don't know if it provides rankings.
