  • Doesn’t work

    Bought the app to use in my classroom. First try seemed to work fine, but hasn’t worked since. Would love to be able to use it, but can’t get it to operate.
  • Nice from an Armchair Historian

    My only gripe is how clearly disdainful the author is at timeless military practices like marching, drills, and discipline. They very very heavy handily associate bravery with naivety. It would be nice if there were several writers for this app, rather than one. Still had a lot of fun!
  • A masterpiece & labor of love

    I have played dozens of war oriented games, read dozens of military history books, and biographies. This game is the best iOS game I have ever played (I have played 100s). So simple yet so immersive and gut wrenching. You feel as if you are on the battlefield. You also realize how much war is luck and chance rather than Hollywood heroics. Extremely memorable! The writing is amazing. I will buy any game this author ever writes. How I wish they had a few more like this. Could be other eras too. Hope to see more like this.

  • Amazing Game!!!!!!!!!

    This game is so cool!!!!! Make sequels, like the rest of World War 1 from the same perspective (Assuming you make it through the Somme), and maybe more paths, like tank crewman? Or Royal Engineers? Anyways, great game, I totally recommend to people who are interested in WW1, military history, or just CYOA gamers in general

  • LOVE IT but wish there was more

    I really love this game but I wish that there was more!

    Example maybe a new game like Verdun or other battles.
  • All-Time Favorite

    This game is very immersive and true to history. Every decision feels fantastically real and vividly descriptive. Five stars is simply not enough to properly award this remarkable masterpiece. Thank you for this wonderfully stirring work of art.
  • EPIC

    This game is awesomely written!
  • Very Good

    This is the first interactive fiction game that I played on mobile and almost certainly remains the best.

    It captures the tone of the war excellently and allows the player to take decisions that make for very different playthroughs.

    If you enjoy this, Divided We Fall, about the Spanish Civil War, makes for a strong follow-up.

  • Over a year now

    I downloaded this game for the first time over a year ago. I've played through dozens of ways and still find different paths. This is a great game I've never experienced anything like this. You can laugh and smile at somethings and at others be heartbroken. I still remember my first play through. I love this game and no matter what I've always comeback to it at some point. It was very well made. Just to point out how much I like it this is the only game I'll ever write a review on. I can't stress how amazing it is without spoiling it. Anyways. Just. Get it it's. Amazing to say the least. No just the fighting and all that just. Get it. You won't be disappointed in the least.

  • Very detailed and immersive

    This overall was an amazing game with three branching options to carry the story. It makes you strive to see if you'll be able to survive the Great War. I wish more games were made like this.
