Oustwit - A Fantastic Competitive Puzzle Game of Simplicity and Elegance



The slogan for Oustwit is very straightforward. It simply states:

Outwit. Oust.  Win.

In that catchphrase, this mobile game for Android offers an incredibly engaging concept. Overall, Oustwit is based on an incredibly easy-to-understand gameplay mechanic of placing warrior figures on a 6x6 board. The same is done by the player's enemy, which can either be a computer or a human opponent. If a warrior is placed next to an existing one from the other side, it shoves it away. The first player who lines three warriors in a row or places all of their figures on the board is declared the winner. 

But from this simplicity rises a form of gameplay elegance that is just irresistible. On the surface, the game has a strong match-3 visual feel, but that sense is quickly proven very wrong. Once you play your first match - no matter if it's a win or a loss - you're immediately drawn to play another. That is the basis of so many incredibly engaging games on mobile devices, and Oustwit falls perfectly into that bracket. 


If you enjoy puzzle games, but also the competitive nature of matches like that of chess, you will love this game. Oustwit shows that you need very little for a fantastic mobile title, and I'm certain its time is only coming. To get onto the Oustwit boards, get the game on Google Play for free and see if you can outwit, oust, and ultimately, win!
