It’s filled with bugs, for example sometimes some of the air squadrons i added just use a placeholder called “GenericAircraft” meaning i have to delete it and completely redo it so it doesn’t glitch while playing, not to mention sometimes Carrier squadrons will transfer to Capital ships like cruisers. Furthermore, the AI is so janky. For example the soviets will just horde their army in Odessa meaning the Romanians effectively can’t do anything to invade southern Russia due to lack of manpower, also when partisans or resistance capture bases behind enemy lines, the allies will just horde thousands of aircraft in said spot making it uncaptureable due to air strikes. To also mention, there needs to be a way of deescalating war involvement, for example suing for peace. In redfire at-least theres scripted campaigns where this happens, i get diplomacy was different than WW2 and the cold war but the point still stands. There also needs to be more territory but this isn’t too much of a problem and i get this would be a-lot of work, but there REALLY needs to be more ship classes, and maybe even ships getting refitted at a historical date. Again i get this would be a-lot of work but it’s just an idea. Also, naval combat is BRUTALLY oversimplified, like it’s not even arcade level stuff it’s just bad, this has been a problem in all 3 games. Overall, i love the “Fire” series of games, but like all there’s lots of issues and mistakes. ### 4/5 — Love it but would like more *2024-07-11, version 1.501* Hey love the game it’s amazing. I would just like a 1933 and 1936 start date. Like I want to use German troops and gain experience through Spanish civil war before I invade Czechoslovakia and Poland etc. and a world map would be awesome. Like axis w Italy Germany and Poland u could make it called “Axis Majors” ### 4/5 — Great game really needs some more work *2024-04-09* I love this game a lot and I cant find jewels like that at all in the AppStore. The realistic ww2 experience is fun and hard. The real tiny logic problems that really are the reason I’m writing this (1: Is it just me or do ships die way to easy a example if you send like one bomber unit at the enemy fleet and they will kill most of the really I’m only asking that the ships get stronger (2: this one is just the reason I gave it four stars I was playing Germany in the whole map mode and had just ended France so I took my Airborn units to go deal with Norway (note I took over Denmark but never took Norway) I think I have like 7 or 6 airborn divisions attacking the Norwigen army I was a shoe in… Then I forgot to add fighters then when I attacked the territory was taken BUT the ONE BIPLANE GROUP that probably had less then 25 planes killed probably 65 thousand men I was just enraged. now I love this game and hope it becomes great but please fix the way airborn works when there are enemy fighters ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC GAME with minor suggestions *2023-10-25* This game is 10 out of 5 stars for real. I just have a few suggestions: Light diplomacy(like the ability to change a country’s faction) The ability to prioritize production( armor, air, navy, or general) maybe not specific vehicles and such but a more general picture of production. “What if?” Units ( such as if France survives and continues fighting, they begin to produce armor like the ARL 44) war thunder has plenty of examples ### 5/5 — Really Good game, but definitely needs some new content *2023-10-13* This is a really amazing game, a unique one to put it at that, stands out from the rest of the rts ww2 games. But it could definitely use some additional features, two of which would be rather easy to implement, 1. Flags and 2. More Customization including ability to give each country a different color on the map, so it’s easier to see which country controls what, and with the flags we could also change whether we want them to show up on the cities or whether we want france to be blue color and germany to be red britain to be yellow and ussr to be green, things like this would definitely improve the game. Anyways i’m really stoked about future updates and i hope you continue to work on this game! Thank You! ### 5/5 — A idea *2023-09-23, version 1.202* Why don’t know at air supply in they add small jet bomb a a mustard, gas ### 5/5 — Add custom units and more units *2023-08-30* I don’t really know if we have it but can we make custom units in sandbox where we can name them and equip them to goof off and stuff and I don’t know for campaigns but do we have the SAS Units for the U.K It would be pretty cool to have them there and special air groups and more elite groups that would be very cool this game has potential ### 5/5 — Add custom mode or customizing to sandbox *2023-08-09* I really like this game and it has potential however can you add some custom things to sandbox or make a custom mode where you can create units and add how many men inside planes, ships, and tanks and basically that stuff would make the game more fun to goof off and things ### 5/5 — Update game more stuff *2023-06-06* Yes ### 4/5 — Keep Updating *2023-06-02* Please continue to update this and Pacific Fire you could still add som many things. You could add generals that give buffs and debuffs, which would make every army more individual and different to the others in a new way. Or could make generals assigned to just certain parts of fronts either way it would be a good addition. I would also like a more day in what troops spawn each turn some way, and specific losses and kills for your country, like what your specific country has lost and killed in the war and what units have killed the most. Please continue to update the game, thank you for reading this! ### 4/5 — Good game, but…error detected *2023-05-26* When aircraft squadrons abort a mission, they do so to survive, and thus fly back to the base they took-off from. This game however, has aborted squadrons land on the target base, where they get bombed and destroyed anyways Consequently, aircraft casualties are higher, than realistic. Example: A squadron of 25 Bf 109G-6 aircraft takes off from Cassino to fly CAP over Rome. At Rome it engages a P-38F squadron, loses 14 aircraft and aborts. The remaining 11 Bf 109G-6 aircraft would land at Cassino. Instead, the game lands those 11 planes at Rome, where they get bombed by strike missions and lose another 10 aircraft. The one remaining survivor reappears at Cassino at the beginning of the next turn. Only squadrons “on the ground” at a base, would lose aircraft from bombs, not aircraft “over” that base fleeing from air combat. ### 5/5 — Intricately awesome *2023-03-19, version 1.201* What else is there to say? It’s just fantastic. If you want to execute on tactical WWII strategy, this is the game for you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Font too small on iPhone 12 *2024-11-03, version 1.501* The font is 2-3 points too small. Too hard to read to play. This developer either doesn’t care or isn’t capable of making the change. ### 1/5 — BAD GAME *2024-09-28, version 1.501* I don’t get it like one Hostile infantry or platoon can capture like your 100,000 soldiers and also Bombers fly high in the sky not low.Also it takes like 99,999,999 tries to take one city that is weak:/ (this is how it feels like it’s rigged) ### 1/5 — CONTROLLER SUPPORT *2023-07-27, version 1.201* Need ### 1/5 — Don’t buy! *2023-07-25, version 1.201* Don’t buy this if your phone has a notch! It’s not optimized. Planning on refunding if it’s not fixed within a few days. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad Air *2021-10-31* iPad Air running iOS 12.5.1. The game crashes every time a save slot is selected. Haven’t been able to play a game yet. Waste of money. ### 2/5 — Good game *2022-02-20, version 1.101* Awesome game worth the money but with the new update the game tends to crash whenever a mission is loading or after a few turns, if you could fix this problem 5/5 ### 3/5 — Not there yet but getting there *2023-03-11, version 1.201* So this game is awesome and I love it. My only ask is give us more control on what units we wish to mobilize instead of random units spawning each turn and where we want to mobilize them ### 3/5 — Be warned - brutally hard *2022-11-19, version 1.201* The theme is great as are the visuals, but don’t expect to win any scenarios unless you’re legitimately trained in the art of battle. I’ve played games like this (both digital and tabletop) for decades and I’ve never experienced the kind of brutal difficulty that this game presents, even with your opponent set to “easy.” ### 4/5 — Good Game *2025-09-21* Overall a good game but there are some bizarre features. For example Greece is strangely overpowered they always have around 500,000-1,000,000 troops and no matter if they are attacking, defending, don’t have air support their loses are about 1/5 of yours. Only happens with Greece. Just a strange thing I noticed. ### 4/5 — Wish there was option to play as neutral nations & save actions *2025-05-31* Great game, but I just wish you were able to add neutral nations to play as like Spain, Turkey, Sweden, etc that could change the dynamic of these scenarios. Also there should be a way to save actions mid turn, it can take a long time to make every action you want but if I leave the app for a little the app just refreshes and all my actions will be gone, it can be frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-05-15* I love this game as well as pacific fire and red fire. Hopefully in the future I’d like to see like a full global map game and I think even like a napoleonic era or seven years war game would be very interesting to see in the future as well. ### 5/5 — Tickles my autism *2025-07-05* Great game your success hugely depends on your ability to predict what the AI is going to do but I think that’s a huge part of being a WW2 commander anyway. It’s got a great customisable sandbox mode aswell great replayability ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-08* Hands down the best WW2 strategy game on mobile. Super detailed, huge variety of vehicles and equipment, and tons of playable factions. Hope you make a WW1 game in the future. ### 5/5 — So bloody good *2025-04-05* Seriously good fun and very detailed. Play it all the time and appreciate the updates. Nothing better in this genre. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-17, version 1.501* Love this game. Can we get a civil war and Cold War Europe please? ### 5/5 — I love this game thank you so much 😊 😎😁🫡🇺🇸 *2024-08-18, version 1.501* August, 18 2024 Thank you so much for making this game I love it, the game is very fun and realistic, best strategy game on mobile. I have suggestions could you add some more things like ambushing and encircling, raiding, pillaging, armies running low on ammunition and supplies generals and leaders, ideology's, civilian morale, colonies rebellions full world map north and South America Europe all of Africa and Middle East, technology buildings prison camps diplomacy and politics and religions, alliances factions and the battle report tells you the casualties of your pacific country and a more realistic map almost all countries playable and division and battalion creator. But THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO CREATE THIS GAME it is 🤩 ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-06-18* Great game can’t even deny it. One thing i wish it’d have is the mission editor feature in Red Fire so we can have the ability to create our own custom scenarios in the European side of the world. ### 5/5 — Something to make the game more enjoyable *2024-05-21* would love to have the ability to make your own maps like in red fire ,and maybe be able to add events or be able to edit the world maps and make them harder or easier ### 5/5 — Best Game for Strategy *2024-02-24* If you want to really play a great game this is worth the cost. Love the WW2 both this and the pacific version have been worth it. Continue to make more great games. Make a world war 1 version or even a Persian gulf war or modern conflict one that would be awesome ### 5/5 — Solid strategy game *2024-02-05* Basically HOI4 for iOS, skirmishes are well done but AI can be cheesed in ‘Blitzkrieg Fire 39’ by attacking prior to historical declarations of war. I understand diplomacy is out of the remit of the game, but the high quality all around makes these small lapses all the more apparent. Great variety in campaigns and forces depicted, tactical and strategic acumen are required to win in all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
