### 4/5 — WW2

*2026-06-21, version 1.3.13*

Cool scenarios and turn based game. If you play with good strategy you’ll never run out of gold to buy units during gameplay. They did a good job.

### 2/5 — 撇除，劇情殺都還好

*2025-02-19, version 1.3.8*

敵軍的巡邏隊，只要玩家看到就會被視為任務失敗。
然後只能用背的，還要希望部隊的自動移動的過程，也不會看到。

還有找間諜，用雷達找到間諜。
間諜就會逃跑，然後遊戲還建議玩家用雷達找。

### 4/5 — 跟安卓的版本不同…蘋果的比較舊

*2024-03-13, version 1.2.2*

想玩邊傳邊玩的「燈火管制」但打開發現版本不對…也沒辦法下載最新版

### 4/5 — There is one gripe I have with this game

*2023-04-03, version 1.2.2*

I absolutely love this game, but I have a problem, it’s with the artillery, you cant put them into the trenches but some maps already have trenches with artillery in them, it’s really something I would love to have added, it’s a small change but it would make my experience a five star worthy review,

### 2/5 — Trop dur😡😡😡😡

*2022-01-23, version 1.2.2*

Ce jeu est impossible il y a il y a pas assez d’essence et de munitions et il y a trop d’ennemis👎

### 5/5 — Jogo muito bom

*2021-07-27, version 1.2.2*

Eu particularmente gostei do jogo, sem bugs, com um bom desempenho.

### 5/5 — Desempenho perfeito!!

*2021-06-15, version 1.2.2*

O jogo tem um ótimo desempenho.Não encontrei nenhum bug.

### 4/5 — Dumb glitch

*2021-06-08, version 1.2.2*

This game is a very fun turn based strategy game but there is a glitch with the resupply truck we’re when I try to instant supply it I can’t select anything and I have to close the game and reopen it very annoying but the game overall is fun

### 4/5 — Great game, but one issue.

*2021-04-10, version 1.2.2*

Dunno if it’s just me but sometimes it just freezes and refuses to respond to my orders. You should fix this. But apart from that, great game!

### 5/5 — Great series

*2021-02-13, version 1.2.2*

I love these games and everything about them but I would like a 1939 polish plains or something and a 1945 blasted Berlin :)

### 5/5 — Pls go back

*2020-12-17, version 1.2.2*

Can you guys back to these seri game and make more?

### 5/5 — I love the game but have suggestions for more games

*2020-10-15, version 1.2.2*

It would be neat if some more of WW2 was covered by these games, and I would like to share ideas, for example, perhaps there could be a 1940 Blitzkreig game with Germany, France, Poland, Britain and the Netherlands/Belgium, not sure how multiple factions could be added but I bet you guys have the skills to do it, oh also what if in the 1940 game there was an alternate reality campaign (and hopefully some pass and play scenarios cause I love those) where Operation Sealion actually works and Britain has to fight against Germany in London and various other places. And my second suggestion is a game about the Allied invasion of Berlin in 1945, I think it would be neat to see Russia, America, Britain and various other Allied Nations like France and Canada in one game, and have Germany basically doing a last stand kind of thing.

### 5/5 — Good game but

*2020-09-07, version 1.2.2*

I have been playing this game and the other four for a long time I love all of them but their getting old and less fun so I am writing this review to say that you guy need need! To make a new game I would recommend 1940 or 1945 game 1940 you can do the fall of France and Dunkirk that would be a amazing game for 1945 you can do the Germans last stand battle of Berlin and you have to defend to the last man that would be fun I hope hand games see this review and takes this advice please make a new game !!!

### 5/5 — C'est un jeu de patience

*2020-08-14, version 1.2.2*

Pour tous les joueurs qui disent "trop difficile" ve jeu est créé pour être difficile... Mais bon c'est surtout un jeu pour s'éclater entre amis et c'est un jeu pour se détendre quand on a pas de réseau.

### 4/5 — Needs more levels

*2020-08-12, version 1.2.2*

Amazing mobile game but requires the levels that winter war has to be a five star

### 5/5 — Great game much enjoyed

*2020-08-02, version 1.2.2*

Would be nice to have less american and Italian units. Would like more campaign and a heavy bombing mission would be pretty cool

### 5/5 — Add WWI

*2020-05-17, version 1.2.2*

Add WWI

### 1/5 — Unglaublich schlechtes Spiel - Abzocke!

*2025-01-05, version 1.3.8*

Das Spiel ist unglaublich schlecht gemacht. Die Einheiten drehen sich nicht einmal zueinander. Es zielt nur darauf ab möglichst viel „Gold“ zu verbrauchen um extrem lange Werbe-Slots abzuspielen. Eine Gelddruck-Maschine auf billigste Masche. Gelöscht!

### 1/5 — Pls add controller support

*2023-09-15, version 1.2.2*

1941 Frozen Front does, so why not this one?

### 1/5 — TOTAL TRASH GAME

*2023-08-13, version 1.2.2*

WARNING ALL OF THESE DEVS GAMES ARE TRASH!

It’s PAY TO PLAY! Everything you do costs gold and the only way to get gold is pay cash or “try” to watch videos for 10 gold each if they work!! Everything you do costs 100 gold, most units cost 1,000 - 2,000 gold.!!! Yes this means you spend 20 hours watching videos to buy one unit that dies  instantly! You will need to spend 10,000 gold FOR EVERY MAP!! I’ve played some maps 20 times and get to the end to just loose the last troops I’ve had. It’s not designed for anyone to win unless you spend cash! 

STAY AWAY FROM ALL THEIR GAMES!

### 1/5 — Жульничество

*2020-03-30, version 1.2.2*

Загрузил, начал играть, всплыло окно рекламы - тапнул на X чтоб убрать данное окошко, тут же появилось некое  установочное окно которое меня не очень насторожило т.к. в этот момент загружал ещё несколько игр и подумал что какая-либо загрузка прервалась. Переворачивая айфон из горизонтального  положения в вертикальное чтобы ознакомиться с вновь появившемся окном  случайно приложил большой палец к Touch ID в следствии чего мгновенно произошла оплата отключения рекламы в этой игре, хотя никаких целенаправленных манипуляции я для этого не проводил.

### 1/5 — このゲーム取らない方がいい

*2019-04-03*

なんか始めたら広告削除で400円払えと言う報告
が出ていた

### 1/5 — Enjoy the gamer

*2017-08-10, version 1.2.1*

Davvero brutto rispetto agli scorsi giochi che sono stati fatti: 1941 frozen front, 1945 burning bridge. Prima di tutto le campagne erano molto più giocabili, ad esempio nella prima missione i nemici arrivano da punti della mappa che non puoi raggiungere e poi le parti oscurate della mappa non si capiscono (non si capisce dove finisce)

### 1/5 — Ummm...no.

*2017-05-28, version 1.1.0*

Good for maybe sixth graders.  Sub par graphics, unrealistic sight line logic for units, illogical damage quantities for unit types against other obviously weaker units or vice versa... the list goes on.  Aircraft graphics are just silly.  The supply logic is crippling.  There is no way to surrender if the players position becomes untenable.  I got so frustrated I deleted the game after three sessions.

It has great potential, but you need a military advisor who knows what the hell they are talking about.

### 1/5 — Q

*2017-05-04, version 1.1.0*

Стратегия может и класная. Но графика отвратительная. Когда противник подъезжает к тебе задом и стреляет по направлению от тебя и попадает в тебя.... это отвратительно. Добавьте анимацию активных объектов!!!

### 1/5 — Fuckyou

*2017-03-18*

ある程度まで行くとアプリ落ちする。しかも起動してもすぐ落ちる。

### 1/5 — Bof

*2017-03-13, version 1.0.4*

La représentation des unités toutes orientées vers la droite de l'écran, quelque soit leur sens de déplacement, autrement dit l'absence de 'facing' rend ce jeu très désagréable à jouer... Par pitié, travailler vos graphismes car voir un char ou une unité d'infanterie tirer en arrière, c'est éprouvant mentalement :-(

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-05-03, version 1.3.8*

Although the game is pretty old, it still holds up! I loved playing it years ago, and I still do!

### 5/5 — Love this so much and the other 3 but.

*2025-04-23, version 1.3.8*

Cool game but the only thing that makes it hard is that the npc outsmarts you if you like strategy games and ww2 all 4 games are for you. Ps stop hating on the devs

### 5/5 — 広告除外を払ったのに出来ない

*2025-04-08*

広告除外を払ったのに広告が除かれない。ゲーム性は面白い。

### 5/5 — The game is losing sound

*2025-01-26, version 1.3.8*

The game freezes now wt the new update

### 5/5 — Keşke oyunu güncel tutsanız

*2024-08-05, version 1.2.2*

Bu kadar güzel bir oyunun güncel tutulmuyor ve Türkçe içermiyor olması ne kadar da üzücü bir durum.

### 5/5 — REALLY GOOD!

*2024-04-26, version 1.2.2*

Amazing series, me and my friend played it in a 1V1 on pass and play, (on the pacific 1942 one) and I ambushed him, these games are really fun but I would like in deadly desert that there would be a way to change your command vehicle, (I wanted to make mine a Tiger 1, and also I think different looks for command tanks if this happens would be cool: for example, Tiger 1 gets extra track armour on the sides of turret and on storage bin so it looks cooler, oh, and can the units be able to change to direction they are facing when firing, cause it looks weird when some dudes fire in the wrong direction, and kill enemies like that.

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2023-08-21, version 1.2.2*

Difficult but very satisfying once you complete a level

### 5/5 — ну между 4 и 5

*2022-05-27, version 1.2.2*

Здравствуйте! игра идеальная но есть проблема в ваших играх сложно проходить миссии а так всё круто.Если вы читаете это разработчики пожалуйста создайте современную игру в стиле такими игр типа операция Z или битвы в которые происходили в Пакистане  ну в таком стиле а так всё круто.

### 5/5 — ф

*2022-02-23, version 1.2.2*

Будут ли новые игры такого же формата?

### 5/5 — Great games 🙌

*2021-09-04, version 1.2.2*
