Needs mfi!!! *2018-01-02, version 1.01* This is an excellent port. It’s only big flaw is the lack of mfi support, which is crazy when the controls are just virtual sticks. Please add mfi support asap! ### 5/5 — Best ever! *2017-08-19, version 1.01* Loved this game growing up. Thanks so much for bringing such a classic back. 👌👌👍👍👊👊 After playing a while I would like to make a few recommendations- -Needs to be manual fire mode not just auto -Would love to see more multiplayer capabilities like recyclers -Please add support for wireless controller -Allow option of "jump" on right side of screen Thanks!!!!! Keep up the great work. I love this game! ### 5/5 — Such an amazing game *2017-08-10, version 1.01* One of the best games out there- beaten by Battlezone 2- which is one of my favourite games of all time. Please re-release BZ2!! Anyway back to this game- when I saw this was re-released for iOS I purchased immediately. Fps, tactical, space sim with great story! No extra purchases. Worth every penny- especially considering low price tag! Rating 1 star as no controller support is daft- amazing game even if no controller support yet- it's not needed but would be nice. Devs- wouldn't mind a response on Bz2- if this is something you are working on? ### 5/5 — WE NEED MPI PLEASE *2017-07-29, version 1.0* I been waiting for this game for very very long time. It's the same game like on the PC version. ### 5/5 — Genuinely impressed *2017-07-09, version 1.0* Never played the original, but tutorials were great. Game is fun, complex and stable. Awesome mix of fps, strategy, base building. ### 4/5 — Great controls *2017-07-08, version 1.0* Looks good and plays good. How do you switch to third person view? ### 5/5 — Brilliant... *2017-07-08, version 1.0* This is the full Battlezone experience on the iPad. Once you get used to the controls (the sensitivity is way too high by default) it's easily as playable as it was on PC. If you haven't played it before, expect a very deep story driven strategy game that has a ton of gameplay. This is not a waterered down mobile version at all! The only thing it could use is mifi support... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap! *2022-11-03, version 1.01* What a COMPLETE WASTE - The tank is completely un-driveable! I WANT MY MONEY BACK ### 1/5 — Invert Y *2018-01-29, version 1.01* Great game and great port but needs invent Y for look controls ### 1/5 — No Controller Support *2017-07-20, version 1.0* A great update to a classic game...BUT NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT!?!? Would be five stars otherwise. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2017-07-20, version 1.0* This app at launch explicitly said it supported iOS 9 and up, so I bought it for my iOS 9.3.5 iPad. Once I downloaded it I discovered it wouldn't even open. Rebellion tech support started out unhelpful and then flat out stopped responding. They have since changed the description to say the app only supports iOS 10 and up. Waste of my $10 on a company that apparently didn't even bother trying to open their app on an OS they advertised support for. ### 1/5 — Pants *2017-07-08, version 1.0* Bought, downloaded, won't run. Not impressed. Only one star 'cos it won't let me give zero stars. ### 2/5 — Great game *2023-05-07, version 1.01* But.... This game desperately needs some controller support or at least proper keyboard and mouse support. Especially with my larger iPad Pro control is very awkward. KB/Mouse support at least would make this much more playable if not full game controller support. Not really a big ask in 2023. ### 2/5 — Difficult to steer *2020-07-10, version 1.01* Used the old PC version which was fantastic. Very disappointed with this version simply because of the controls. How can you maintain direction accurately with a separate jump button? ### 3/5 — Needs a Better Control Interface *2019-06-25, version 1.01* With the PC game that I still play, the controls are the keyboard and mouse. I’ve played this app game “as is” and it’s okay for what it is. It’s a portable watered down version, but the graphics are way better than the original. Also lack of “cheats” and the ability to select the mission you want to play are one way, you have to play though them and then you can go back through the archives. No instant access to the mission you want to try. ### 3/5 — Graphics yes, controls no *2018-04-26, version 1.01* Short version: This game needs MFi controller support badly. We can tap the screen for other activations but sticks and buttons have got to be turned on. Like. Now, please. ### 4/5 — Just like old times... almost... *2019-10-14* Pretty good port, somewhat clunky dual stick controls take a while to get it used to (after coming from mouse and keyboard it’s a step down, but it’s manageable) only thing I’d really complaint about is lack of strat in mp :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pls make it cross platform *2026-01-07, version 1.01* Love that you brought this back! No one is ever online for Multiplayer though. I know PC users have a huge advantage, but is there any chance you can make it cross-platform? ### 5/5 — Good *2025-06-14, version 1.01* It’s a fun challenging game I do wish that there was anyone playing the online but the single player is still great the only thing is that you have to get used to the controls ### 5/5 — WE NEED MORE *2024-07-22, version 1.01* PLEASE MAKE COMBAT COMMANDER ON IPAD I WILL PAY ANY PRICE ### 5/5 — Exactly like the Original *2023-11-10, version 1.01* After year of waiting, it’s here!!! So glad I can play this game again, it’s been my favorite. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2022-04-18, version 1.01* Just like the pc version but on my iPad ! ### 5/5 — Fantastic port of a fantastic game *2021-11-09, version 1.01* Easy to get into, an ahead of its time. Great fun ### 5/5 — Needs improvement *2020-05-20, version 1.01* I played and still play all and every version ever made of Battlezone and BZ2 since it came out in 1998, you absolutely have to add invert pitch ! Please!. Add inverted pitch to the control settings. Pull back or down to pitch up , push forward or up to pitch down. Also I haven’t checked yet I hope this app version can and will support game controller, or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse ! Too many commands to execute with just touch screen. If you add better control this will be great on iPad . Nice to see if a new generation of gamers will discover this great game though app version! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-05-08, version 1.01* Loved this on PC. Havn't played the odyssey expansion yet. Just completed original 2 missions. Brilliant - addicted! Problem solving strategy and first person dog fighting combined in battles with multiple possible outcomes. I agree BZ2 on iPad please! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-10-07, version 1.01* Beautifully done port of an outstanding game, runs like silk and has great controls, we need more games like this. ### 5/5 — Breakthrough Classic *2017-09-02, version 1.01* Played this one back when it first came out and loved the feeling of "what is going to come over the horizon next". A review back then compared steering the craft in the game to driving a garbage truck on ice, but I think it adds an extra dimension that would be missing from the space sim if the controls were too precise. I have both the desktop and iPad version, the desktop hardness settings don't seem to work and this old gamer could not get past the first level, iPad settings work just fine and am fully enjoying despite no controller support. Very well done! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
