### 5/5 — Exited for update

*2025-05-10, version Bastion*

Great game really want to play with friends

### 4/5 — Infinitely better than AOE Mobile

*2024-11-11*

If you want that real AOE experience on mobile, I think this is the best option out there! It really feels like AOE

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it could use more features. A stable/cavalry would be a nice addition. I also find it too easy to beat a level 1 enemy, but I’ve failed to beat a level 2 enemy even once, so I’d like a difficulty level in between. Still, having a lot of fun with this one.

### 5/5 — Mucho potencial

*2024-10-19, version Bastion*

Genial RTS con una estética y diseño único, sigan dandole esa dedicación y cariño que va por buen camino, todo el apoyo para este proyecto 🤑

### 2/5 — I miss age of empires 2, this reminds me of it but still some work to be done.

*2024-10-18*

The game is good but there gets to be a point when you play with 4 player ai that they run out of reaources and dont do anything. Then it becomes boring. Otherwise the concept is great!

Keep it up I will support!

### 4/5 — Fun but very limited

*2024-10-16, version Bastion*

Only a few buildings and a few soldier types. Very simple. Catapults with the feature of basically drone striking anywhere on the map are way overpowered and makes beating 3 level 3 enemies very easy. The Pathways map is very good, but Europe and Tiny Islands are not really worth paying extra for in my opinion. Game chokes and units freeze in place on my iPhone 11 with too many units on screen. 
I hope more is added!!

### 5/5 — Potentiel

*2024-09-16, version Bastion*

Si le jeu reprend a minimum toutes les fonctions du jeu siegeup avec autant de dynamisme que ce dernier au niveau des temps de destruction / montage et en plus un système de progression des bâtiments pour les améliorer il y aura de quoi avoir un jeu vraiment bon ! Bonne continuation

### 4/5 — Great game keep on developing it!

*2024-09-16, version Bastion*

Good job with the first stage of the game, I would love to see more features that ressemble AOE, evolving civilization, evolving units, different nations etc, 

I’ve been looking for a game like this for soo long on iPhone and this is the best attempt at it so far, keep on working on it !

### 4/5 — Good little game, needs some work but good potential

*2024-08-25*

Seems like a good little game to check out. Keep up the good work man. 

Previous review already touched on the major things like ai and multiplayer.

### 4/5 — Campaign

*2024-08-23, version Bastion*

I like the game a lot and am keen for new updates and soldiers but when will campaign unlock

### 4/5 — It won’t stop

*2024-06-04, version Bastion*

The music won’t stop
