Ifyou have plenty of money and time to waste - this is for you. Otherwise I’d give another game a go. ### 3/5 — Very Hard:( *2025-03-29, version 1.43.0* It is a really good game but most of the cooler units like the SMG soldier (idk the name) is way too expensive to get and the game is very unbalanced. Level 11… ### 4/5 — MH *2025-03-26, version 1.43.0* Fun game ### 4/5 — Like it but… *2025-01-14, version 1.43.0* It would help to have a tutorial or directions for the use of solders ### 2/5 — Too many glitches cost me money *2025-01-06, version 1.43.0* I’ve liked the game and played it for a while but when buying things the game glitches and stalls out when I go back in no purchased! But money taken from account, the help section doesn’t let you submit your issue!!! There is a clear bias towards the enemy even when you do spend a fortune to upgrade your troops and have extra sections! Which needs to be bought each time on same level when the game glitches out! Could’ve been so much better but for minor issues adding up and the fact it’s taken lots of money from me and delivered nothing so I’ve deleted it ### 4/5 — Sandbox *2024-12-30, version 1.43.0* Add a sandbox mode please or I will kill you ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2024-11-23, version 1.43.0* Physically can’t win a level without having to buy extra stuff ### 4/5 — W game *2024-11-09, version 1.43.0* This game brought my dad back ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-06, version 1.43.3* The game is rigged every time on wave 11 i lose even after using reinforcements power up had two marks tanks and 4 machine gunners full wave of infentry then they spawned gas and they all died developers should Mae it so you can change the difficulty so it’s not rigged. Game is rigged ai to smart and strong overpowered fix your game ### 1/5 — Can even play *2026-05-18, version 1.43.3* Ok bro when I try to open the game it kicks me out of the app plz fix kind remarks ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-12-17, version 1.43.3* This game is a head scratcher . Like most they’re hungry for money , gameplay is unfair most rounds and what you achieve is little to nothing . I wouldn’t pay a dime for any in store purchases or the actual game itself period . ### 1/5 — . *2025-10-17, version 1.43.3* I feel one is a bit critical as this was once an amazing game but I feel like this was more of a cash grab then a passion project, the reason I believe that is not only is it very hard to get coins but they’re extremely expensive to even buy, the ai seems to almost have an advantage over you the later you get into the campaign but the biggest deal breaker for me was the fact that the tank in the game can be beaten by the starting troop which doesn’t seem like a huge deal until you physically can’t progress any further without spending money. I loved this game a few years ago and I hate to see it in the state that it is ### 1/5 — Not playable without paying *2025-10-01, version 1.43.3* The first few levels are fun but there is no way to keep up with the opponent! I just simply cannot make enough to upgrade my troops fast enough, even going back to previous levels, the opponents are still stronger and shoot further than mine. Why are all my guys being one shorted by basic soldiers!? ### 1/5 — I thought this was gonna be a good game but *2025-09-27, version 1.43.3* I got kicked when I was tryna join and I spammed the app but it kicked me out the next 15 times so dev can you pls fix that ### 1/5 — PAY TO WIN *2025-06-01, version 1.43.0* troops are way too expensive, and the game progression becomes difficult quickly to incentivize micro transactions. the bot also has an advantage over the player in most scenarios because it has the more accurate gas, planes, and artillery, it will ALWAYS hit its target, even the gas after it is deployed will still be in effect to kill your troops, it is not the same for the player... i’m confused why they did not make it fair? i’m thinking it’s to make you buy their currency. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-13, version 1.43.0* I bought the option to remove the ads but I still get ads ### 1/5 — Annoying and money hungry *2025-03-22, version 1.43.0* Game gets difficult quickly to incentivize you to spend money. There’s better trench type games ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2024-11-30, version 1.43.0* They want you to pay for up grades ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — enrages me but well made *2026-07-21, version 1.43.3* idk ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-06, version 1.43.3* It’s good ### 5/5 — AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *2025-09-21, version 1.43.3* It said it would gimmie free coins if I rated it ### 5/5 — Me the goat *2025-03-30, version 1.43.0* Hi guys ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-28, version 1.43.0* Fun game to pass the time ### 5/5 — Great game a couple things I want though. *2025-02-05, version 1.43.0* This game is great and fun the levels are cool and I love having to level up to stay on par with the enemy. But one thing I don’t understand is that a regular soldier has the same helmet as the enemy the only thing that is different is the color. This may seem like a small request but a late war German helmet could make a big difference. Also for regular soldiers give them slimed rifles with bayonets please. But those are small problems this game would download! Also a sandbox mode would be great. One last thing why are gas masks only cosmetic they don’t actually do what they’re supposed to. Bayonet kills would be cool during an attack on a trench. Finally please let us choose a country other than that great game! ### 5/5 — AMASINGVGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GET NOWWWWWWE *2025-01-19, version 1.43.0* SO GOOD NOT EVEN ANY ADDS ITS PERFECT GET IT NOW!!! I DEMAND YOU ITS FOR UR OWN GOOD YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED!!!!! ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-01-08, version 1.43.0* Just started Feeds my need for a new game ### 5/5 — Great game one thing I want though. *2024-11-25* This game is great and fun the levels are cool and I love having to level up to stay on par with the enemy. But one thing I don’t understand is that a regular soldier has the same helmet as the enemy the only thing that is different is the color. This may seem like a small request but a late war German helmet could make a big difference. Also for regular soldiers give them slimed rifles with bayonets please. But those are small problems this game would download! ### 5/5 — Sigma. *2024-10-17, version 1.43.0* Rizzy gyatt. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
