This frustrates me so much because i love this game. ### 4/5 — Good but a couple of issues *2020-09-27, version 1.0* I really enjoy this game, but there's not a difference between the three game modes. It also freezes a lot, normally when I'm actually doing well. The freezing has been causing me a lot of trouble while playing. ### 2/5 — Gameplay Experience *2019-08-01, version 1.0* The game itself is great but there are a lot of bugs and it constantly freezes and you end up having to restart the game over. I think some new features such as saving progress and fixing these problems would really help in a lot of ways. I can not even begin to say how much of a headache it is when this game crashes constantly and I end up having to restart my tablet just to have to restart the process over again. ### 4/5 — Freezes *2019-02-23, version 1.0* It’s a great game overall, but it keeps freezing. ### 2/5 — constantly crashes. *2018-11-14, version 1.0* great game. awesome concept, horrible implementation. It frequently crashes before i even get through a round. Dont waste your time, it will only break your heart. ### 4/5 — Globalization? *2018-11-04, version 1.0* Can we expand the game to the entire world? ### 2/5 — Can’t play as soviet *2018-07-23, version 1.0* Why ### 4/5 — Four stars *2018-07-11, version 1.0* Good game. Very educational. I had a great first playthrough. During the next five or six, events had such different results that it became really difficult. A lot of it seems to be based on chance. ### 4/5 — Too short *2018-04-03, version 1.0* It’s a very good educational game but it’s so short and end very soon ### 1/5 — Reminder *2017-06-11, version 1.0* It was Reagan who won the Cold War. It'd be nice if the Bush '41 library could admit that up front. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — why *2021-01-18, version 1.0* i cant be ussr ### 1/5 — Propaganda *2020-01-12, version 1.0* This game is complete anti communist propaganda. Why don't we see the soviet side?! They were human. ### 1/5 — RNG Nonsense *2019-12-26, version 1.0* Pretty much this entire game is nothing but RNG. Your choices don’t matter because RNG will mess you up anyway ### 1/5 — American Imperialist Revisionism *2019-12-10, version 1.0* Of course, Uncle Sam acts and opines in and about regions of the world it has no business doing so, except, to do "business". Ask Russia how great the "Democracy" in the 90s under Yeltsin was. Jeffrey Sachs, the Dr. Mengle of economics created an austerity regime that starved two million ordinary Russian people to death. Americans don't know that. Sanitizing the history of The Evil Empire (the one still standing, barely) allows for the continuation of similar atrocities that are taking place now. ### 1/5 — Crashes at start *2018-12-25, version 1.0* Every time I hit the get started button, it crashes ### 1/5 — Propaganda *2018-11-19, version 1.0* Bs ### 1/5 — Game doesn't work *2018-08-05, version 1.0* Every time I go to play it it crashes please fix it ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-07-03, version 1.0* Whenever I press get started the game crashes ### 1/5 — Buggy *2018-02-03, version 1.0* Every time Im about to beat the game and make every country democratic it’ll freeze. ### 1/5 — Playing the game *2017-07-05, version 1.0* Hey, I really want to try and enjoy this, but I can't get into the game. It plays the intro sequence but every time I hit "get started", the game kicks me out. Please take the time to fix this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it but….. *2023-08-26* Maybe add more contenents, add some more countries in europe, like Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia, not just the based ones ### 5/5 — ObamaBinLadens beating me up 4this *2023-06-27* Kgb ObamaBinLadens beating me up 4this ### 5/5 — Amazing history game *2022-11-21, version 1.0* Here are a few ideas if you do update it add more presidents you can play as, and even make it so you can play the Soviet Union just some ideas. ### 5/5 — It’s been fixed! *2018-11-19, version 1.0* The bug I mentioned is gone! ### 5/5 — Love it but.... *2018-09-04, version 1.0* Okay, the app is great and educational. But! It freezes once it gets to 1990 in spring. I don’t know why, but it freezes. Hey maybe winter is coming! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER! *2017-12-09, version 1.0* This is the best game I ever had. It’s very realistic. And I love that you have to make the right choices. Just bush was not president during the Cold War. And other countries as well where in the Cold War like China. And you forgot about the sues crisis in the Middle East. The president when the Berlin Wall fell was Ronald Reagan not bush and the War was between 20 and 30 years not 2. ### 5/5 — Excellent Educational Game! *2017-03-17, version 1.0* This is an excellent educational game that is a quick play and free; it serves its task well—recalling what it takes to "win" at the Cold War. The app can be a bit challenging to maneuver, but this app is an improvement over the web version. It is also more forgiving if you wish to restart the one campaign of the game. The playability is of course limited (historically), but if you play with the settings you can play a bit of alternate history along the way. I highly recommend this game for teens and up; folks of all ages interested in history will find this game interesting! ### 5/5 — Love *2016-10-15, version 1.0* This game is awesome! DO NOT judge this game by its graphics, it is AMAZING ### 4/5 — Great but one problem *2021-08-03, version 1.0* This is a great game that I definitely enjoy playing. But there’s a minor bug in the game where sometimes the bar at the bottom of the screen just disappears, and all you can do is start over and hope it doesn’t happen again. Like I said , other than that it’s great. ### 4/5 — Too much RNG *2021-05-13, version 1.0* this game was fun, I genuinely enjoyed it, but the harder difficulties seemed to be less strategy based and more based on RNG, I found myself doing perfectly but then a random event makes it impossible to win. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
