## What is Battlecruisers?

Command the ultimate floating auto-fortress in Battlecruisers, the visually striking RTS praised for its explosive gameplay, hand-drawn art, and delightfully addictive soundtrack. Also, nukes. 

Command your colossal Battlecruiser as you strategically build and deploy autonomous units: Turrets, Gunships, Artillery, AttackBoats, GatlingMortars, SiegeDestroyers, and SteamCopters. Your fleet self-operates, freeing you to focus purely on strategic decisions. Accelerate construction by deploying more BuilderDrones, racing your opponents to unleash devastating Ultraweapons and dominate quick, intense battles.

Embark on an award-winning single-player campaign as Charlie, an amusingly reckless utility-bot whose joyride aboard the UAC Presidentron’s prized Battlecruiser spirals into chaos. Survive increasingly sophisticated waves of AI warships, cunning mercenaries, and colossal adversaries determined to reclaim the stolen superweapon.

Dive into endless multiplayer mayhem, unlocking new weapons each year and customizing your fleet with cosmetic Bodykits, Exoskeleta, and hilarious Heckles—perfect for taunting friends and foes alike. Premium Mode offers ad-free gameplay and unlocks two turbocharged game modes. All in-app purchases are purely cosmetic; victory is solely dependent on your tactical genius.

Winner of international and indie game design awards every year 2021-2026, Battlecruisers boasts a 90%+ positive rating and has been deemed "prutty good eh" by the esteemed New Zealand Herald.

### 2/5 — Okay game

*2026-08-27, version 7.0.78*

Game is okay so far after 5 or so battles.

Previous version (7.0.63) was always crashing within 20 seconds of game boot, but that’s been fixed with version 7.0.78 (which is why this review has been updated since then)

### 5/5 — fix the long ahh intro

*2026-08-26, version 7.0.78*

The game is perfect but PLEASE fix the long intro when you start a game

### 5/5 — IS VERY GOOD

*2026-08-22, version 7.0.63*

Super good game. Should add a shop to buy new ships , and weapons but this game is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD dat you don’t have to add it :D

### 5/5 — Favourite phone game

*2026-08-19, version 7.0.63*

I’ve replayed this game twice nothing else to say

### 1/5 — Guaranteed crashing within 20 secs of game boot

*2026-08-03, version 7.0.63*

Game always crashes in less than 20 seconds (before the “processing” completes) after game boot from a fresh install. I can’t even try the game because of such. iPad 6th gen IOS 17.7.11

### 5/5 — a very good one!! 👍

*2026-06-30, version 7.0.63*

the gameplay itself is quite fun! there's a lot of available combinations, which helps make working on your loadout feel entertaining as you progress through the story. the dialogue and text throughout the game are pretty funny as well! 

not sure if it's just a bug on my end, but a few of the exoskeleta aren't available to purchase, saying only "try again later"

### 5/5 — Отличная игра!

*2026-05-22, version 7.0.63*

Очень интересная игра, отлично разработанное снаряжение, оружие, графика. Большое разнообразие для тех, кто любит стратегии. 
Компанию прошел быстро, на одном дыхании, очень интересно. Долгое время игра не запускалась и после обновления получилось в неё зайти. 
Главная проблема - нет игроков онлайн, не получается посражаться, хотя раньше игроки находились в течении 5-10 минут, сейчас не ищет вообще.
РАЗРАБОТЧИКИ, пожалуйста, вложитесь в маркетинг, я когда-то увидел вашу игру именно в рекламе.
Развивайте игру, она точно сделает вас богатыми при должном продвижении, а мы вас поддержим!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-05-19, version 7.0.63*

I downloaded this game because I was bored the fights are hard but not ragequit hard and honestly making 3 ultra risks and an air factory then watching your bombers bomb the hell out of the enemy. Is beautiful

### 3/5 — Petit problème

*2026-05-17, version 7.0.63*

J’avais désinstallé le jeux à cause de problème de stockage et quand je l’ai remis récemment j’ai pas pus récupérer mon ancienne sauvegarde ,je me dis c’est pas grave je recommence,problème le premier niveau tout va bien comme d’habitude mais le deuxième niveau de la compagne et peut être buggé étant donnée que j’ai à peine le temps de faire mes robots de construction que l’ennemie a déjà les bateaux , les avions et les protections déjà finis ducoup impossible de rivaliser

### 3/5 — Please fix the “processing” screen

*2026-05-12, version 7.0.63*

This issue is preventing me from playing the game and I really don’t like it so please fix it.
