### 1/5 — Re-release the original…

*2026-07-22, version 201*

This game was simple and easy to play. Adding all of this extra stuff is annoying to navigate.

### 5/5 — Hi.

*2026-07-21, version 201*

It’s been a while cartoon wars, you were fun as hell when i was still a young one. I hope to see more of this even if it doesn’t look like it.

### 3/5 — Please re release 2 and 1

*2026-07-18, version 201*

I would like to preface that I am a die hard fan of the cartoon wars series, and that I have frequently revisited the original games many times throughout life, and while I respect the decision to remake the trilogy into a “more advanced iteration” I have to say it is simply a huge disservice to the original fans, while 3 may combine elements of every game into one which is cool, it does so by sacrificing the quality of each of the elements from each game, that and gameplay elements, in other words it is simply not well polished, now that’s not to say that the original games were perfect, they were not, but they were nostalgic, and they were enough, honestly, I would rather have each of the individual games with the individual functions separately downloaded than have cw3 with its mumble jumble of mechanics, however that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have cw3 I would just have it for a different element of the series, you don’t need to make remakes or remasters or whatever, nobody wants that, just please please please for the love of god update the old games and release them, just accept that cw3 is not that popular, most of us would rather have the old ones.

### 5/5 — Childhood game still amazing

*2026-07-10, version 201*

Wanted to come and relive some memories from my favorite game series growing up, yes this one’s a bit different from 1 & 2, but it still have the charm, although I no longer have access to my older account so I had to start fresh I’m glad it’s still here, I just wish it got updates or a newer title

### 4/5 — Gameplay

*2026-07-08, version 201*

It feels just like the old cartoon wars games, mechanics are great and the upgrade systems are good. Some complaints though are that the game is very pay to play in many interactions. They make it very grindey to acquire materials to upgrade units for just percentage chance upgrades.

### 1/5 — A shadow of what it once was

*2026-07-02, version 201*

I remember playing CW one and two. This is nothing like that it has monetization and a bunch of mechanics that ruin the feel of the gameplay

### 1/5 — チーター蔓延る末期ゲーム

*2026-06-29*

各種イベントにチートプレイヤーが上位を占め、まともに報酬が獲得できません。課金要素であるクリスタルをチーターが大量に獲得し、正規プレイヤーへの補填も存在しません。
運営に再三報告しても、定型的な回答のみで、何もしません。チーターが飽きていなくなるのを傍観しているだけの運営です。
不具合だらけで報告するも対応は後手後手でお粗末そのもの。
まさに末期ソシャゲのお手本のようなゲームです。

### 1/5 — Not worth anyone’s time

*2026-06-29, version 201*

As I was scrolling the App Store I came across this game one of my favorite developers (GAMEVIL) so I didn’t hesitate to install it I downloaded what it was asking sign in with my hive account and when I started not even the j to is finished and it kicks me out of the game doesn’t matter how many times I re downloaded it continues to kick me out so sadly don’t know what’s wrong with the company or developer who won’t even fix this issue am guessing all of there other games is like this so bye gamevil and thanks for the small memory you give and brought me.

### 5/5 — Great game but just need new updates

*2026-05-25, version 201*

I love the game a ton and I have been playing for over 5 years. I loved the times when the max star level was 6 stars and I missed when the updates for christmas, thanksgiving, halloween, etc. came out.

### 5/5 — アップデートしてほしい

*2026-05-10*

めちゃくちゃやりこんでます！
コオリノニンジャ最強
