I’m not sure if your playing against an O2 breather or a programmed bot. One battle Im certain you are and I think it’s stupid and a waste of time because it seems impossible to survive. Pre-battle description briefs you to be sharp cause your intel warns they have all your fighting positions registered for direct hits. When the battle starts your chances of making hits are a WAG and luck where each incoming will always score direct hits on your positions. How could this be fair and fun IDK? After having my rear waste port kicked in a few times I chose to stay away from this suicide. However most of the other battles seem much more fair and fun to play. One important item is the special weapons i.e. radar, air support, multi-shot cannon, random shot artillery and rockets, which are available to you but there’s very little instruction how to properly deploy and use them. This was frustrating and took me some time to figure it all out. Something that annoys me during game play was the prologue before each battle and interruption during the battle with senseless banter. I don’t believe that would be appealing to anyone, 9yrs or older and recommend its exclusion. Update: had all the special weapons but haven’t played in a while. I came back to play and found everything I earned and payed for gone, this ain’t right shame on you thief. Do not recommend this game due to devs untestable. ### 1/5 — It’s all luck based *2020-07-01, version 1.0.9* The entire game is luck based, buying power ups are the same by the fact that you need to get lucky with where your power ups land. ### 1/5 — Too lucky *2017-01-09* Try to finish the game? Almost impossible you might actually throw your phone or pad out. End game scenarios need and should be difficult but a better balance needs to found. While well programmed the dev's end game bot play is almost entirely based on statically impossible luck. So enjoy, play to the last scenario then rest and do it again. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2023-12-01, version 1.3.4* Game seems to be setup to be overwhelmingly difficult to get you to pay $$$. Needs some tweaking and alternative tasks besides an RNG spin. ### 2/5 — Ok *2020-06-04, version 1.0.9* Very repetitive. Takes too long to get any decent weapons. ### 3/5 — Artillerist *2024-08-26, version 1.3.6* It’s not a bad little game. It is as it says,a battleships redevelopment. Not mind blowing but not taxing on the mind either. Why three stars. Well, the first time we come across a female character as a war correspondent which is great, I thought it was rather lame they had her wearing an open top jacket gesturing being endowed all the while referencing if she looks okay with her hair as it is in a war zone. It’s degrading to women and lowers the standard of the campaign story feel. ### 3/5 — Fun game *2024-05-19, version 1.3.6* This game is really fun, like battlefield but on land ### 3/5 — Good start *2023-11-25, version 1.3.4* Games is entertaining and without a lot of complexity. ### 3/5 — Battleship on land *2021-01-18, version 1.0.9* Boring ### 3/5 — Online *2020-12-13, version 1.0.9* Great game but can’t play multiplayer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty cool game *2025-12-08, version 1.3.6* This game is as the title says, pretty cool. The art style is very pleasing and the gameplay is really fun ### 5/5 — Shooting stuff is fun *2025-09-09, version 1.3.6* Easy to use and fun ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2025-04-08, version 1.3.6* Well game is too fun and i can’t stop ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-21, version 1.3.6* Awesome ### 5/5 — Artillery *2024-12-05, version 1.3.6* Fun battle ship like play with upgrades ### 5/5 — Engaging *2024-11-24, version 1.3.6* This game is designed to keep you guessing.
