It keeps you engaged without feeling repetitive. Great job by the developers! ### 3/5 — Dil problemi *2025-11-05, version 1.7.7* Oyunun türkiyede çok oyuncusu olmasına rağmen türkçe dil seçeneği yok bunun acilen getirilmesi gerek ### 5/5 — What r u doing now? *2025-10-31, version 1.7.7* I don’t think that making games is the only job you have,i think u have another job? (sorry because my question make you uncormfortable but...i just want to know) ### 2/5 — Ad-filled, pay to win slop *2025-09-06* The title says it all. The game has amazing bones, but it is balanced such that you cannot win if you are F2P. You’d think that the devs make enough money off of the 3 ads every 2 turns that they put you through, but you also have to hand over money for their stupid in-game currency to win, as the enemy always outnumbers you & does more damage than you. ### 5/5 — Añadan multijugador en línea *2024-09-18, version 1.7.7* Y como con los juegos de ajedrez que haya límite de tiempo configurable por turno o partida ### 5/5 — Игра лучшая, НО *2024-09-07, version 1.7.7* Игра наилучшая в мире, но, пожалуйста, добавьте новых миссий! ### 5/5 — OH MY GOD *2024-07-18, version 1.7.7* I love this series so much,i enjoy it for 2 years and today when i click in this game on apple store agian i saw you guys updated it,thank you guys so much :> ### 5/5 — All the one star reviews are FAKE! *2024-05-10* For me, I’ve been playing every day for years and it has never crashed, and I have a horrible iPhone! I beat all the levels using 2,000 gold tops. The game gives you about 2,000 gold at the beginning of each level, 1,000 every time you level up, and 40 to 300 gold for each unit defeated! (The adds give you 100, but I don’t need it). Try it yourself. Also, I’ve noticed that the one star reviews are spam and show up on most games. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-03-31, version 1.7.0* I love the game a lot. I wish there was a Iwo Jima mission. But besides all of that, I love the game ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-12-19* The game is super fun! I enjoyed playing through it! Love the strategy and tactical decisions that need to be made! I would however, loved it if you incorporated a feature within the custom mode for an increased amount of gold for role play. It would be great to have that experience!
