But otherwise it’s pretty good. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2025-06-30, version v5.4* From time to time when attacking an opponent the screen goes black unable to see anything just hear sound. Other than that the game is fine ### 4/5 — Crates *2025-01-29, version v5.4* The crates when you get higher and higher in the stages get less and less valuable just take the base value and multiply it by what level you are. ### 3/5 — This game is great but “developers” in game are a problem *2025-01-27, version v5.4* This game is great and I agree with most of the other reviews. But the issue is the fact that people can name themselves developers. It’s gotten pretty common, they curse. which considering that there is probably a lot of kids on here is bad. Other than that, this game is awesome though I would suggest adding game modes. ### 2/5 — Good game, but you cant Save progress *2025-01-19, version v5.4* I played the game for a while and spent $ to upgrade, I had to get a new phone recently and I redownloaded Battle Islands, now it is impossible to reconnect to my old account I have to start over from 0, even though my account is linked to Facebook. Fix this issue developers!! ### 1/5 — app crashed- lost all progress *2024-07-09, version v5.4* do not waste your time playing this! i loved this game and had been playing it for around 5 years. i made lots of progress, defeated many armys and spent countless hours building my army base. while playing the game, the app suddenly crashed and i couldnt get back in. when i finally managed to log back in, all my progress was lost and id have to restart everything. ### 1/5 — Crashed and All Data lost *2024-07-06, version v5.4* Beware!! This game is linked to Facebook and not Apple Game Center. I played this game for months and had a ton of progress and achievements. Randomly one day it crashed and would no longer open on my phone. After a week of trying I finally decided to just uninstall and reinstall this game(which worked). However, when logging back in to it, it sends you straight to Facebook to reconnect. However, this App is no longer supported and this will not connect through Facebook. No other options to save progress thus everything was lost. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2024-07-04, version v5.4* App crashes, uninstalled and reinstalled and all progress lost, no longer supported. Why keep this app in the store. ### 1/5 — Outdated devs don’t care *2024-07-02, version v5.4* The game is outdated nobody will attack you I had the most resources you could get for a command center level 5 but I never got attacked and I’ve been playing the game for a while but that’s not even the worst of it it doesn’t connect with Facebook anymore and it’s been like that for a while and they won’t bother to do anything about it so your game won’t save and the way I found out was that the game just started to crash every time I opened it it wouldn’t go past the loading screen before closing the game all together do not waste your time and especially not your money because this will not save in anyway and it’ll cut you off before you can even get to the end of the game VERY disappointing ### 1/5 — Game broke *2024-07-02, version v5.4* Literally the game broke, literally could not log in and wouldn’t even let me back into my old account I spent money on! Great game! ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2024-04-29, version v5.4* Aircraft carriers,and a bigger airplane ### 1/5 — Amazing game *2023-12-29, version v5.4* I used to play this game all the time and I come back and I can’t even get into my account from fb because it’s not activated on there I’m only rating one star because it’s been abandoned ### 1/5 — Surge in cheating *2023-12-22, version v5.4* To much cheating going on now. Developers need to fix that or it’s not worth downloading or playing. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2023-06-28, version v5.4* I do not even get play the game, I just watch it play itself ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — IT DOES NOT SAVE *2026-06-13, version v5.4* Your date does mot save and on top of that you have to do the tutorial over and over, im gonna try it again if not(waste of time) bc you cant get past level 10 with out the game going “oops no data save found” inbread devs i tell you ### 1/5 — Deleted *2026-06-13, version v5.4* Love game. I have a Ps5 and two iPads and played 3 accounts on all devices and this reset glitch has been happening for two years now! I don’t link it to anything and still can’t get support from 505 games to restore all accounts I had 30+ levels. I’ve spent a little of my money on gold and this customer service is non existent??? ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2025-10-08, version v5.4* 505 refuses to fix all the hackers and moder in this game. You can report people all day long but that does nothing. 505 has completely given up on this game. Shame too. I wish they would continue to work on this game. Still a lot of people playing but we are all frustrated. ### 1/5 — absturz *2025-02-20* nur mit fb ein account machen? hab kein fb. das spiel stürzte irgendwann immer wieder ab. wollte deinstallieren und neu probieren und account weg. cool. schrott entwickelt ### 1/5 — Crashed *2024-11-09, version v5.4* After 8 years playing, it crashed suddenly.
