Mann kann wenn sparsam vorgegangen wird mit den verdienten Gold zum Ende des Spiels gelangen oder eigenes Geld reinstecken zu müssen. Herausfordernd. Schade das es nicht mehr Kapitel gibt. ### 1/5 — Man glaubt es nicht *2023-12-20* Für alle echten Strategiefans, die zB Panzer Corps schon kennen und lieben, kann ich nur sagen: ein absoluter EM ü el el. ### 3/5 — It has less campaigns in pass and play *2021-02-09* It has wierd music it’s like the pacific front the last game your developers have made and it doesn’t have its last musics and has less campaigns in pass an play than the last one if you could improve on that ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2021-01-10* Pretty cool. Basically no difference between this and the free version. ### 1/5 — 何をどうやっても行き方がわからん *2019-04-28* 煙と灰のステージの 偵察部隊を敵をまく方法が どうしてもわかりません あれはどうやれば見つからずに 行けるのでしょうか どなたか分かる方解説お願いします さらにその先の 英雄たちと言うステージでは さらにどうすればいいか分からない状態です 一旦全てを終わらせて 舞台も全て逃したのですが そこから何をやっても終わりません 必須任務の指示にある 「敵を動転させろ」とは どういう意味なのでしょうか? ### 5/5 — Very good turn-based game! *2018-03-26* One of my favorites of the Handy Game’s series in this genre. Although I let it sit on my iPad for quite some time before playing it, once I got going and started to learn the game, I was hooked. Fairly simple learning curve, mastering the game was fun and engaging. Thumbs up to the Developers! Hope you are able to keep the updates and new campaigns coming! ### 5/5 — Good *2017-03-16* I can't play online on my iPhone 6s but my friend can on his Samsung galaxy s6 ## Frequently asked questions about 1943 Deadly Desert Premium ### Does 1943 Deadly Desert Premium have ads?
