Glitchy

Game won’t always open for me. Hasn’t opened for me the last three tries over the past several hours

The Dice are so bad

So many problems & the dice are not random. Some of your battles should be guaranteed win based on numbers of units & unit types but somehow the dice will roll misses over & over but the AI gets all 1’s & 2’s hits round after round until your overwhelming numbers & strength is crushed & meant nothing.

Excellent Representation of the board game

I love this game! I had initially given a lower rating due to issues where an iOS update caused it to stop working on mobile devices. That was fixed months ago and has been running great since. Super fun game to those loyal to the classic board game.

All the negative reviews others have posted are true.

Russia and Japan had a non-aggression pact during WWII but yet bombers flying out of Borneo can’t attack Japan because during 1942 the allies didn’t have a bomber with that range. So which is it? It’s as if a 12 year old developed this game.

Old ratings

Since they’ve fixed the bug allowing the game to run, this game is amazing. Exactly what you’d want from axis and allies. As a player of the board game for many years, it’s much more enjoyable not having to setup and move the pieces over extended periods of time.

Needlessly complicated

Pass on this. I was hoping it would be like the old PC version of Axis & Allies but it’s not. The PC version on Windows XP duplicated the game map, units, etc to the point where it was almost like plying the table top board game version.

This needs to be trimmed down or completely gutted. In short I wasted $10. Total graphics nightmare and slow game play. The whole idea behind computer games aside from rounding up other players is not having to read a booklet on how to play. I’ll remove this game from my system soon.

Thank you

Thank you so much for making this game online bc me and my brothers loved this game as a kid and now 2 of us are in the United States but states away and one is in Japan in the navy so now we can play axis and allies again this game was a big core memory

One of my2 favorite games of all time

Great game - compete with others - ladder seasons, tournaments, etc.

Fun Game

Game works well since the update. Rarely have any problems. Great game to play with friends.

New Maps Please

Game is working great. New map options would be awesome.

Fun idea, RNG needs looked at, Clunky UI

The app does a good job of the fun capturing the board game, but struggles in some areas. The user interface is a bit difficult to use and definitely takes some getting used to, especially around transports - it’s functional but often needs a specific sequence of events to function. The random number generator for the dice rolls is awful. Often there are what should be statically rare rolls that happen every turn. This really skews the fun and strategy of the game. Specific units also seem to have skewed rolls. Defending subs, bombers, and industrial complexes hit more frequently than they should. Attacking bombers, fighters, tanks, and rolls for bombing raids also appear skewed. Bombing raids are essentially useless as the attacking bomber almost always rolls between 1-3. You will also see patterns with how the dice roll. You’ll have repeated sequences where everything will roll a five or six. They everything will roll a two or three. The rolls seem to be collective and not every die individually. Truly does take away from a lot of the fun. I would expect a more refined and balanced experience from a $10 app

Well done

Very well designed app for iphone gaming. I haven’t discovered a single bug or glitch over 20 full games on an iphone14. Everything just works well including transports and aircraft carriers. With new seasons the game always feels fresh and fun. See you on the battlefield!

Great game ruined!

Great classic board game but the developers need to stop rigging the role and start improving the auto-player. Unplayable until then!

Wildly lopsided

It seems in Southeast Asia there’s absolutely no way to defeat the axis no matter how overwhelming your forces are
over 30 troops in battle and the most I get is six hits and they turn around and completely wiped me out every single time

it’s not even remotely programmed to be fair on a dice roll. Not even close I’m on round 80 in a game and it has done it over and over and over and over. No matter how many troops I send against I always get completely wiped out.

Working with no Glitches

New player here! This game delivers exactly what it promises—I've been having so much fun with it lately. Definitely worth the download!

Macht Spaß

Wer das Brettspiel kennt, wird auch diese Version mögen. Es läuft auf iOS wunderbar.

Hasbro/WOtC

Larry Harris is a genius and this is a decent version of his work. Unfortunately WOtC shows zero desire to monetize A&A in an app. Compare the love RISK gets to the redheaded stepchild attention this app gets. Gametable online had a much superior platform.

Don’t waste your money on this joke of an app.

Unrealistic battle outcomes. Dice develop a pattern of favoring you or your opponent three turns into the game. Also, by the way, Japan and Russia had a nonaggression pact during WWII.

Excellent if you want to play Axis & Allies with friends

The game definitely deserves a higher rating. It would be cool to see more variants of the game added but this one is a ton of fun. It crashes fairly often. However, it is very good at saving your progress each time you do something. I don’t think I’ve ever had to redo a move after a crash and I’ve been playing this consistently for a few months now. I don’t consider the crashing to have any impact on my enjoyment of the game. It quickly brings you back into the match you were playing when it crashed. It finds ranked matches pretty quick still in 2026 and it’s cross platform with the pc version. I think the only complaint I really have is that the game doesn’t give me push notifications. I set up email notifications which works fine but I’d prefer to keep my inbox clear.
