We spend money on upgrades but everybody deserting the game because it seems like the creators have abandoned it. ### 4/5 — Good game *2023-07-23* But it needs updates and more attention to glitches and hackers and bully’s otherwise it’s a 4 star game overall ### 1/5 — Don't play! *2020-08-01* This game is borderline at best. The only quality is the people you meet. Ember is a joke and could care less about the consumer. You have to pay REAL $ and i mean avg. 5k$!!To be in the Billion power range, cause ther are folks in there at up to 8Billion who will roll easy targets like you. When you realize you can't outspend everyone you'll be in too deep. If you wanna log on n kill time at work, well this game is not even good for that. Builds n research go into WEEKS 9+, So you have nothing to do, unless you $$. Online poker is a better option. Now move along!! I played 3 years without spending 1$ and made it to 100 million power 3 years. 100 million is NOTHING!! ### 1/5 — Fraco / Weak *2020-07-29, version 1.5.7* Fraquinho....lento....gráficos ruins....poucos jogadores....pacotes caros....se tivesse meua estrela eu teria dado.... ### 4/5 — Overall it’s pretty good *2020-07-11* It could definitely use some updates and minor tweaks, but overall it’s pretty good. Doesn’t seem to just be a remade cash grab game ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-04-08, version 1.5.7* Worst game ever I’ll never spend another dime here playing for over 5 years now game is completely dead ### 1/5 — Game broken and no one cares *2020-02-26, version 1.5.7* I been emailing them multiple times to fix my issues I was one of those dumb @55es that spent a ton of money on this game n still do up into this point. They won’t fix my issues they won’t reply back to emails. What a waste of time and money, don’t buy nothing from this company cuz if something goes wrong they ain’t going to help you ### 2/5 — Was sure I was going to like it *2020-02-12* In games like this you expect to battle people who have access to the same units and at roughly the same level also when you press battle would expect one in under five minutes now that’s a stretch because less than one minute would be the norm. So as a beginner I don’t have access to planes it was surprising that everyone I’ve played and everyone is not an exaggeration meaning most players it actually means in every match they have had planes. As I am new I’m not as familiar with the hit points or level of my buildings but I believe the hit points are around 600 and level is 3. I’ve faced level 6 players that have bunkers at 1100 might below 1100 but at least 1000. If you have to buy things right away that’s fine just don’t act like the game can be played by everyone and I would think the more low hanging fruit for your big spenders would be good if for nothing else to build numbers so the people who want to play don’t have to wait long for a battle. This seems to be the way of things as I’m finding it harder to find a game that you don’t have to spend money just to learn to play. And I’m sure this is the idea behind the arcade game give people nothing for nothing then if they have to spend have them spend money on are new arcade. ### 2/5 — Meh... *2019-12-16* Too similar to “Empire Z” only without the zombie theme. This game needs more work and features. You would think they would add more updates after years of being away. I checked to see if any change happened, to my disappointment nothing has changed ### 1/5 — Need updated *2018-12-29* I have been playing for over 3 yrs. ember is very dismissive of people that have spent money on this game hoping/begging for any update. EMBER DELETE THE GAME OR UPDATE. Very disappointed!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Commanders ### What is Commanders about?
