It’s not fair Matt Dickie. I get that you haven’t been updating this game and just leaving it out the way it was, but this game has to get upgraded improvement. There’s so much bugs now when I shoot people it doesn’t work sometimes it doesn’t even render it and I’m constantly losing my countries. Why does everything in your game have to be paid like I wish the editor and stuff is free because I can’t do it no more this game is gonna get deleted if it keeps doing this with the rendering stuff and I’m literally on the same side as same man I’m still shooting at him and the game is not rendering it. ### 4/5 — 3D Version *2026-07-16, version 1.0.7* I love this game but I just wish there was a 3D version. It would improve the game by a lot! ### 4/5 — Good game but... *2026-07-03, version 1.0.7* I really like this game. It’s very fun to play, the graphics/art style looks good. The only problem I face is sometimes we feel a lack of fluently especially in heavy fight situations and the dialogues are very annoying ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-05-08, version 1.0.7* the fps is so bad, can definitely be optimized considering the other games don’t have such bad optimization, i hate it when i pick up a modern age thing and just stands there like a mongoloid before he gets shot or punched, old age people should be outnumbering these time travelers 5:1, the animals are just bad dev gank, and it takes an eternity in a half to get up which i feel is odd considering i don’t think its this slow in the other games ### 4/5 — 選ばしてくれ‼️ *2026-01-14* おもろいけど、現代人の方でできないのが嫌だな ### 2/5 — Trash *2026-01-12, version 1.0.7* Trash, the accuracy of when I hit or shoot at someone so perfectly and still doesn’t connect but computers do it with ease and more . Easy game to make u angry, ### 4/5 — Марк *2025-09-17* Добавте вампиров выживание от вампиров если укусил вампир тозначет игрок становися вампиром пж ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2025-06-01, version 1.0.7* The game has a lot of potential, but there are a few areas that could be improved. First, I find the past side to be somewhat disadvantaged compared to the other sides. It might be interesting to give the past an advantage, such as the ability to ride other animals. This wouldn’t be too overpowered since players can be knocked off a horse with just two hits, and it would add a unique element that the other sides don’t have. Secondly, I've noticed that players on the opposing side can steal weapons during dialogue moments, which can be really annoying. For example, when I'm a character from the opposing side in a fight and am close to defeating a enemy, it can be frustrating when an ally on my side begins a dialogue, allowing the enemy to recover and steal my weapon while I'm momentarily frozen. A solution could be allowing players to move during dialogue moments, similar to mechanics like Wrestling Revolution, or perhaps ensuring that all characters freeze during these interactions. Additionally, I’ve experienced delays when picking up advanced items, as characters tend to observe the item for about three seconds. This delay, along with being surrounded by enemies IMMEDIATELY, often leads to unfortunate outcomes. Overall, I would rate the game 3/5. The story is engaging, but I believe that addressing these gameplay mechanics would greatly enhance the overall experience. ### 4/5 — nuduu *2025-03-27, version 1.0.7* How to tune this game in Chinese? ### 3/5 — Half decent *2024-12-27, version 1.0.7* Very easy beat it in two hours ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend *2024-12-10, version 1.0.7* The game is very unfair. You are forced from the moment you start, to play as the “past” and that only. Choosing this option your weapon variation that’s given to you (yeah you can’t pick) is absolutely horrendous. You only get close ranged weapons. Meanwhile all the npcs on the other side 95% of guns and kill you extremely fast and easily. If that doesn’t happen they either jump you or the animals in the game only attack you and your team. Don’t play this.😂👎 ### 1/5 — Worst out of all Horrible m dickie games *2024-12-03, version 1.0.7* The present team has basookas, machine guns, tanks, and flame throwers, and sometimes I get one shotted by a single bullet, not only the weapons being really unfair, It forces you to battle with fewer past Team members against like way more enemies, for example it had me 3 single African cavemen with sticks and spears against 10 army men with machine guns and construction workers with chainsaws.👎 ### 2/5 — It’s fun but has game breaking issues *2024-09-06, version 1.0.7* It’s really fun to fight the different factions but it is impossible to progress because of friendly fire. This is a 2d game so shooting your teammates is impossible to avoid and I question why it’s even a feature because your own team will kill more of you then your opponent. I think I’m gonna hop off this game until there’s either a patch that removes it or an option in the menus is added to remove it. ### 1/5 — fix these things *2024-08-17, version 1.0.7* Okay, I like this game but here are the things I hate. 1: HOW DO I GET IN THE TANK?? 2: it is just unfair and I don’t care if you say that I need to be strategic you could have like 50 people from the past and you would lose to 1 guy from the present 3: these animals are so annoying and sometimes even kill me 4: BRO HOW CAN THE PRESENT SURVIVE LIKE 50 SHOTS FROM A LITERAL BAZOOKA BUT I CAN’T EVEN SURVIVE ONE SHOT FROM A PISTOL 5: WHY DOES THE PAST TAKE LIKE TEN YEARS JUST TO LOOK AT AN ITEM FROM THE PRESENT LIKE I WOULD GET HIT FROM THE TIME IT TAKES TO LOOK AT IT AND GOTTEN IT STOLEN 6: NERF THE RIFLE IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY WITH THAT GUN THEN YOU MIGHT ASWELL FLEE BECAUSE HE IS GOING GOD MODE AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PEOPLE WITH FLAMETHROWERS 7: WHY DOES IT TAKE SO MUCH TIME FOR THE PRESENT TO HATCH A PLAN??????!!!!!!!! JUST MAKE IT SO THAT IF THE PRESENT SENDS PEOPLE TO OTHER COUNTRIES YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WAIT FIVE HUNDRED DECADES JUST SO THAT YOU CAN PLAY AGAIN BECAUSE THEY SEND TROOPS TO ATTACK YOU! 8: I like how powerful the catapult is but please make it move faster and make it so that it can turn around when you use it 9: WHY DOES IT TAKE LIKE NINE MILLENNIALS JUST TO GET UP???? EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET KNOCKED DOWN I HAVE TO SWITCH TO SOMEONE ELSE! 10: WHEN I DO SWITCH TO SOMEBODY ELSE MOST OF MY TEAM IS ALREADY KNOCKED DOWN BECAUSE OF THESE ABSOLUTE SUPERSOLDIERS, NERF THE PRESENT!!!!!!!11: WHY CAN’T YOU JUST ADD A BUTTON TO SKIP THE DIALOGUE!!??!!?? I KNOW YOU CAN TAP THE TEXT TO SKIP PART OF IT BUT IT IS STILL PAINFULLY SLOW AND IN THIS GAME YOU CAN’T EVEN SKIP AT ALL! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely trash *2026-08-13, version 1.0.7* When you pick up a weapon your character literally spends 10 seconds holding/checking it out ### 1/5 — Neglect *2026-07-17, version 1.0.7* Do you even read the reviews or even care about the games you made? ### 1/5 — Some games by m Dickie are good some are bad *2025-11-05, version 1.0.7* Npcs are sped ### 1/5 — This game is horrible *2025-08-19, version 1.0.7* I CANNOT stand chat bubbles they’re annoying and disrupt the flow of the gameplay ### 1/5 — Liars *2025-06-05, version 1.0.7* Liars you guys lied because I completed all of the map and it was green but when I tried to fight, it didn’t let me and I couldn’t even be the future cause it just kept on going back-and-forth and ice. I was devastated so I’m reporting you guys. ### 1/5 — Reinforcement rape *2025-05-27, version 1.0.7* Good game is you like to get raped by reinforcment ### 1/5 — terrible *2025-05-04, version 1.0.7* love most their games but this is so unfair this game its absolutely terrible ### 1/5 — Backwards *2025-04-09, version 1.0.7* I really don’t like this game it literally glitches way too much. Every device I play on is glitching so I know for a fact it’s not the device and I don’t like how you have to pay for other countries and continents. ### 1/5 — Basically a scam *2025-03-30, version 1.0.7* I paid for premium so I made lots of characters but it deleted them ### 1/5 — Disrespect to the Persian people *2025-03-09, version 1.0.7* Well I remember I played the game in my childhood but I just realized that u called Persian people arabs. Well i know history as a well but if some of religion were islam doesn’t mean we were arabs also Iran is the oldest country with a great culture, difference language, better than arabs and…… However u better fix it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Counter review *2026-06-10, version 1.0.7* I don’t normally write reviews but seeing the other one I felt I should say the other review of this game is poor. They blame the game for the lack of skill and expect some tribal warrior to be able to understand a tank the game is a perfect brawl of things and I have completed it a number of times in a short period of time the present doesn’t need to be nerfed and if you think it does maybe it’s because you suck but overall a cool edition to the game series that focuses on the brawling I think very cool would recommend ### 5/5 — I NEED *2025-09-30, version 1.0.7* You gotta make a Neolithic or straight medieval game ### 5/5 — Best game *2025-06-26, version 1.0.7* This game needs to be 3d or realistic like wrestling empire ### 5/5 — My childhood! *2025-04-26, version 1.0.7* This is the best because you get to be the past and fight the Present and future and then fight zombie versions of themselves to proof that none can never change the past :D ### 5/5 — I used to love this game *2024-10-12, version 1.0.7* I have restrictions which I'm unable to play because I have 12+ games only. I hope your creating good things and making updates. ### 5/5 — Full screen *2024-08-28, version 1.0.7* Ok Matt now this is a problem now now… now this game is not full zoomed to screen for iPhone 13 now…. Please fix ### 5/5 — Agreguen una actualización con nuevas cosas porfavor, éste juego es tan genial *2024-04-14* Estaría padre que llegue una nueva actualización con nuevas cosas, que los nativos puedan montar a los animales como en los otros juegos de MDdickie ### 5/5 — Nice💪 *2024-03-21, version 1.0.7* Hella cool game, finally beat it 🏆 ### 5/5 — w *2024-03-10, version 1.0.7* w game ### 5/5 — Great game but i cant stand the animals *2023-12-12, version 1.0.7* They’re not even important.
