Dommage également qu il n y ai pas de mode solo hors ligne. Sinon je recommande ### 3/5 — Games good *2025-10-25, version 4.0.5* But it will not let me use Facebook to save my account it also won’t let me change my guys name I keep going into the setting but after clicking done and leaving then when you reenter the settings menu it goes back to just what name you had before!?!!?? But I played this game allot on my android but now that I got Apple seems this version on the game is so very clogged with forced adds that’s new from what I remember ### 4/5 — Прям радиатор *2025-05-22, version 4.0.5* Ужасно греется телефон во время игры!!! ### 3/5 — Love the game but *2024-11-06, version 4.0.5* I love the game but it seems when I get up to the higher levels the game wants to restart me at the beginning does the game need an update? Is there something on my end that I can do so that it doesn’t do that? My game also won’t let me connect to my FB I have deleted it and redownloaded it and it just put me back at the beginning so idk I love the game it’s a great game I just wish it didn’t have all the glitches ### 3/5 — AJAI *2024-04-27, version 4.0.5* I pay $38 HKD dollars for open the season pass it’s say and show just one time payment but it’s didn’t open anything, it’s still show nothing in the season pass, pls fix it or reply me what the hell going on 😞😞🤬🤬 ### 2/5 — Ads *2023-10-30, version 4.0.5* This game was fun till they added all the ads. An advertisement after each button you press, practically. ### 2/5 — Excessive amounts of Ads!!! *2023-10-29, version 4.0.5* Dear developers. Graphics are very good and Gameplay is also fun. Once you are actually able to play. EVERY action requires you to watch an ad. Please scale back on the amount of required Ads. When you have to spend more time watching Ads, than time of game play simply = no fun. ### 3/5 — Too many Ads *2023-09-28, version 4.0.5* Love the game, but there are too many ads. If I could eliminate them I’d give it 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Not bad, too many adverts. *2023-08-23, version 4.0.5* Great game to start with but you hit the pay wall fairly quickly, once you get to around level 35 you loose 3 out of 4 matches to pay to win players. Also soooooo many adverts it becomes a joke. Was a good game for a while but run its course so uninstalled. ### 4/5 — …. *2023-08-11, version 4.0.5* These better not be bots ….. ### 2/5 — Impossible de lancer le jeu *2023-08-09, version 4.0.5* Impossible de lancer le jeu il reste bloqué au chargement à 100% et plus rien dommage il avait l’air sympa. ### 1/5 — Crushing volume of ads *2023-06-09, version 4.0.5* Good concept, great gameplay, better than necessary graphics. So why is this game off my phone? Incredible number of ads. Ads before each battle. Ads if you want to upgrade. Ads during any loading period. These aren’t ads in exchange for bonuses (understandable) but rather ads for every step of the game. It makes the entire thing unplayable, and disappointing to see an otherwise good game ruined this way. Skip this one for sure. ### 2/5 — Реклама, реклама, одна реклама… *2023-05-20, version 4.0.5* Игра прикольная, мне нравится, но неприлично много рекламы… Открываешь сундук, реклама, начинаешь бой, реклама, бой закончился, опять реклама, даже когда улучшаешь юнитов, тоже реклама при чём большую часть нельзя пропустить… отбивает всё желание играть… ### 1/5 — Bug beim tutorial *2023-04-12, version 4.0.5* Seid 1 Jahr ist da ein bug beim Tutorial und es ist immer noch nicht weg echt schade obwohl das Spiel sehr gut war ### 1/5 — Grad unspielbar *2023-03-03, version 4.0.5* Hab es echt gerne gespielt aber aktuell hat es (zumindest bei mir jedes Mal) einen Bug bei dem ich nicht spielen kann weil die Spielfigur zu groß ist und festhängt. Schade ### 3/5 — Videos *2023-02-26, version 4.0.5* Every time you do a function on the game you have to watch a 30 second video. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update? *2026-09-05, version 4.0.5* Yeah, great update. It added a watch an ad triggers to before any match after any match and for any time you move screens inside the app…. They don’t actually accomplish anything with updates… the platform lags and won’t let you access rewards… needs removing from the App Store for improvement ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-05-30, version 4.0.5* To many get a grip ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-05-03, version 4.0.5* Every time I tried to make a purchase it didn't give me the gems but charged me money! 😡 ### 1/5 — So many ads *2025-12-07, version 4.0.5* Haven’t installed this game in years and reinstalled it to find out there’s 10 minute ads in it now ### 1/5 — Too many ads, and game freezes *2025-06-06, version 4.0.5* Used to be fun once upon a time. But now you’re forced to watch ads, and often times the ads freeze requiring you to close the game and reopen then you have to watch another ad which 50/50 freezes again. It’s like the devs set the game up and then abandoned it to whatever happens ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2024-05-05, version 4.0.5* What a great game but the amount of ads does not make the playing experience enjoyable. Watching ads should be an option and not forced. At the very least, let players pay to have an ad free experience. ### 1/5 — Gute Idee fehlerhafte Umsetzung *2024-02-04, version 4.0.5* Ich komme ich jetzt nicht über das Tutorial hinaus. Zum einen ist das Spiel gezoomt sodass man eigentlich nichts erkennt und zum anderen scheitert es bereits am Kampf da fangen die Kämpfer an zu buggen u d es passiert Nix. Schade für ein eigentlich gutes Spiel ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads *2024-01-22, version 4.0.5* I've had the game for a few years now. I used to enjoy it but stopped playing for a while. Just tried to restart playing, and the number of ads they now use is absurd. Beyond the ads to claim items, they now play an ad before and after every battle. They've made it impossible to enjoy. Won't be back. ### 1/5 — Ужааааас реклаааамы *2023-11-15, version 4.0.5* Сплошная реклама минуту играешь, три смотришь рекламу, ладно бы за ништяки какие нибудь, а то просто так в любое время при любом действии! Удалил к хренам ### 1/5 — Ads ads and ads *2023-08-04, version 4.0.5* You will be forced to see ads and get nothing in return. Insane amount of ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fonction plus... *2025-12-28, version 4.0.5* Le meilleur jeux mobile au quelle j'ai jouer, dommage qu'il ne se lance plus ! ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2024-12-12, version 4.0.5* Ну таки, что я могу сказать Это игра. Вы удивитесь но это игра для игры на смартфоне. Тот кто читает именно это отзыв я готов поспорить, что играет с айфона Мне нравится ### 5/5 — This game was Super Fun , it changed from English to a Different Language *2024-05-19, version 4.0.5* I was wondering What do I use as my Username and Password now that the game changed from English to another language ? All my Progress is on the one called this one , how do I log into it? > 兵多多 ### 5/5 — Do not get this game *2023-08-05, version 4.0.5* Have to put 5 stars for obvious reasons but if you want a game that’s fair then this game is not for you. They pop up ads in the MIDDLE of matches that make it impossible to play and they do not level it. In 5 seconds of the match starting someone will have 27K power without ever defeating an opponent and its near impossible to claim a victory when you first start playing. And units take 75 gold to level up to level 4, but you only get 14 gold with a VICTORY. Definitely a pay to win game, would not recommend under any circumstances. ### 5/5 — Why os good *2022-09-06, version 4.0.5* Good good good good ### 5/5 — Un bon jeu *2022-08-24, version 4.0.5* Un superbe jeu mais qui ne fonctionne malheureusement plus :/ ### 5/5 — FAv game *2022-05-27, version 4.0.5* I use to play all the time And buy the pass and gems now im back playing WHERE ARE ALL MY PURCHASES ? Still a bery fun time killin game ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2022-03-16, version 4.0.5* Кул ### 5/5 — Bug *2022-01-09, version 4.0.5* Man sollte das spiel fixen oder neu starten. Wenn man win Game startet kann man nicht laufen weil die spielfigur so groß ist wie der Bildschirm vom Handy. Aber an sich ein mega gutes spiel habe es wirklich sehr gerne gespielt. Würde ich auch weiterhin wenn man das problem beheben würde 😄 ### 5/5 — Berbat *2021-09-27, version 4.0.5* Tek yaptığınız şey reklam izlemek bu kadar da olmaz diyeceksiniz.
