### 1/5 — Compatibility

*2023-06-09, version 1.8.1*

This game isn’t playable on my phone and it’s a new iPhone lol

### 5/5 — This is actually one of the best games I’ve played in a long time

*2022-10-14*

The minimal ads, the fun gameplay, the cool skill upgrade system.

It’s just a nice fun game, 5/5 I love it.

### 1/5 — Original was better

*2022-03-26, version 1.8.1*

Upgrades do nothing. Don’t waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — 1 Star for forced ads

*2021-08-28, version 1.8.1*

There is no reason to force an ad on anyone. Pop up ads gets an app deleted quick.

### 1/5 — Terrible, again

*2021-07-13, version 1.8.1*

Phage Wars was one of my favourite flash games back in the days of desktop gaming. These games should be amazing if they just copy and pasted the same formula that made that games so good. Yet every time, they butcher it!

The game doesn’t scale properly, upgrades appear almost meaningless, and levels suddenly become challenging to the point where even fully upgraded colonies don’t match their competitors.

The game is just plain awful, because it wasn’t challenging enough to be fun to begin with, then became too hard, and the star scoring system is beyond stupid too. Such a waste of an amazing concept!

### 1/5 — Compatibility

*2021-04-16, version 1.8.1*

This game isn’t playable on my phone

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2021-03-22*

Game doesn't let you control anything when starting level (it just does whatever it wants) and then the app crashes, if I restart the app, it will crash another 3-4 times without any other apps running. iPhone 11 Pro Max and this is the first app I've ever experienced this with

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2021-03-07, version 1.8.1*

Units aren’t always sent from the cell I have selected. They launch from a random other cell sometimes more distant from the target cell. The game is essentially playing with itself. Deleted.

### 2/5 — Not great...

*2020-12-31*

I liked the first game a lot, it’s really fun and enjoyable, but this game, when I seen it, I though it would be cool to play, boy was sadly wrong, I have an iPhone XR, plenty enough storage, and yet whenever I tap on the game to play... it just doesn’t stay open at all, it would open for about a second, close, and keep the app open, but whenever I try to get in the app, it keeps closing it on me over and over again, don’t get me wrong, if it worked, I would’ve put 4-5 stars, but I can’t even play it when I have more than enough storage, I have a great phone, and ai played the first game and all my other games just fine.

### 2/5 — The same but less good

*2020-12-27, version 1.8.1*

Pretty much the same as the previous game but with less customisation, level variation and sense of progression. The ability to advance slows down dramatically about half way through presumably to encourage the use of in game purchases.
