### 4/5 — Enjoy it but…..

*2026-08-26, version 62.100*

I’ve been playing Boom Beach for probably close to 10 years. Really enjoy it but the game is getting too gimmicky and complicated. I now dread updates.

### 3/5 — Hammer man battles

*2026-08-25, version 62.100*

Almost every time hammerman attacks, the game freezes by the end and I have to restart the app.  It’s been doing it for a couple months.

### 2/5 — Overloaded with features

*2026-08-24, version 62.100*

Boom Beach used to be a very fun game, simple not overly complex.  Over the past while they have made the game too complex, with too many tasks and special features.  The game is now hard to follow and over tuned making it a chore to figure out all of the content… quickly losing interest in playing.

### 4/5 — Bug needs fixing

*2026-08-21, version 62.100*

There has been a bug recently where when trying to watch an enemy attack the replay fails quite often. I never had this issue before the last couple updates just FYI 🫡

### 3/5 — System attacks aren’t fair

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

My level 73 base is about 20% of what the system ‘s level 12 bases have for their defense.  On attacks, I’m up against things that I don’t have as my available options.  Nightly attacks on island bases on my map that weren’t there before the attacks and destruction giving me no chance at capturing them.

### 2/5 — Impossible to Progress

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

Gaining resources in this game is exceedingly difficult and they are far too easy to lose. Even if you wanted to spend all day playing, it still wouldn’t be enough to make progress. The game is pretty well ruined which is sad considering its potential

### 3/5 — Stupid AD

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

Raise the hand tired of AD !

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

I’ve been playing this game well in excess of 12 years now! So it must have something. It’s a fun little game where you can defend and attack basses. The only downside is on iPhone the latest upgrades have made some things hard. You can watch adverts for extra gems, well no more, you watch adverts and screen freezes at the end, only way out is to reset the game. Also when watch blackguard attacks on your base at x4 speed the game can freeze and again you need a hard reset.
The watching ads for Gems not working is frustrating.

### 4/5 — HQ

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

game is cool and all but i’m on a fresh account having to go up against people who are 4x my level.

### 2/5 — Boom Beach is glitching regularly

*2026-08-18, version 62.97*

For a couple weeks, any the majority of rewards for watching advertisements ( mostly the packets of two advertisements) close prematurely or just don’t pay out.  This happens mostly with adds that start with O’ Riley auto parts and Big-O tires.  Clicking on the treasure chest when it’s on the beach also closes prematurely and doesn’t pay out.  I’ve reclick four times in a row and it repeatedly fails.  Today, many hours apart, during the defense even, fourth attack the attack freezes just before the invader succeeds.  The game is active but time stops and action is frozen.  There are some serious glitches, or advertisers are scamming the company to cheap players who watch the adds but don’t pay-off.

### 3/5 — Do something about warships.

*2026-08-17, version 62.97*

You need to automatically give us tokens when we don’t remember when to play this game or whatever. And you need to ban some dam players already. I can’t be deprived of getting the gold tier rank in warships. Especially when your game unfairly matches me with the wrong people. Some people just don’t deserve it when that happens.

### 2/5 — The game has changed and is less enjoyable

*2026-08-17, version 62.97*

I’ve been playing this game for over 8 years. At first I was hooked, I really enjoyed this game. In their efforts to make more money, they’ve changed the game, making it more expensive to play and harder achieve and advance in the game. It just not worth playing anymore.

### 4/5 — Year 2026

*2026-08-16, version 62.97*

I was gonna give it a five star, but I came across a cheater, the worst part about it is there is no report button or option, they are the same level as me or base level 16, a player that Low shouldn’t have the troops they have, I understand event troops that are given here and there, but this player has other troops a level 16 shouldn’t have, it’s a buzz kill, it’s cool to fight against resource bases, but up against someone that is cheating, that’s no Bueno,

### 1/5 — Ads are way to long

*2026-08-26, version 62.100*

Ads are insanely long and if you click the x before the 20 minutes is over it doesn’t  count. Don’t give the x option if it’s not over and shorten the stupid gambling ads.

### 1/5 — 无故卡退

*2026-08-25, version 62.100*

玩战列舰的时候排不到人排到人就卡退

### 1/5 — Performance is terrible on 17 pro max

*2026-08-24, version 62.100*

And whatever that new gacha thing is is lame asf. I didn’t download this game when it released to deal with that bs

### 1/5 — Just sad and disappointed

*2026-08-23, version 62.100*

I used to play this game when it first came out, that was when I was 14, now I’m 23 and I go to hop back on after all these years bc I’ve been playing clash of clans and fell in love with the Games again. But so either way I install Boom Beach and I open the app and it says and I quote bar for bar , “This account has been disabled due to inactivity and can no longer be recovered.” So now I can’t play at all, I’m very upset and disappointed that this happened

### 1/5 — Latest updates make this game have ruined it

*2026-08-22, version 62.100*

Latest game updates are heavily favor more defensive players and capabilities. Feel it overcorrected towards defensive settings and it’s not as enjoyable playing anymore.

### 1/5 — Supply chests.

*2026-08-21, version 62.100*

The fact that you think supply chests are a reward and are even worth sending a notification to the player on their phone is absolutely pathetic. Make the supply chest upgrade their rewards on a level based system. Yall are getting lazy

### 1/5 — Buggy gacha slop

*2026-08-20, version 62.100*

Free to play players suffocates.
Paying players get stabbed in the back by bugs.
Bug abusers get one month ban and rest of the players get pathetic “compensations.”
Everybody loses.

### 1/5 — Poor bug handling ruins the game

*2026-08-19, version 62.100*

This game used to be fun, but the developers leave serious bugs unfixed for a very long time. After players find these glitches, Supercell only pushes a fix later and starts mass‑banning accounts in

### 1/5 — Ratio ratio

*2026-08-12, version 62.97*

If you love get throttled this is your game. Max 50% win ratio allowed.

### 1/5 — Lost its fun

*2026-08-09, version 62.97*

Been playing this game for years. Since the last couple of updates it’s made it to expensive to play

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-24, version 62.100*

It was perfect for me no problems at all!!!

### 5/5 — Only game I play

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

Been playing this since 2015, just because my sone at the time was 11, and asked me to try it and see if I could do it.
I haven’t played a game or any game since Atari if that tells you anything.

### 5/5 — 12 years and counting

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

Best mobile game I have ever played!!!

### 5/5 — Retaliate

*2026-08-18, version 62.100*

Need to be able to retaliate against those that attack

### 5/5 — Boom Beach

*2026-08-15, version 62.97*

This is the best game I’ve played in a long time. I’ve been playing for almost 2 years but there are a couple of things that annoy me. 

Firstly, upgrade time. Bigger upgrades that I’ve been saving resources for take about 30 hours!

Secondly, Operation times. After my task force has completed the operation we have to wait ages before we can start a new one. 

I feel like I speak for everyone here in this review so please acknowledge it.

### 5/5 — Crashes Regularly

*2026-08-13, version 62.97*

For the past 2-3 weeks, BOOMBeach crashes after just a few actions happen while playing. I’m not sure if it’s an issue technicians are aware of or even working on, but I’m unable to play at all at this point. Not sure how to report technical issues so any help would be greatly appreciated

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-13, version 62.97*

Great game

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-06, version 62.97*

Loove it brooo

### 5/5 — Коч братан

*2026-08-04, version 62.97*

Игра хорошая но слишком долго здания строиться
