Doesn’t seem to just be a remade cash grab game ### 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 — Slow *2018-11-07, version 1.5.5* Your game is to slow to build up and to fight other players ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2018-10-15, version 1.5.5* This game needs an upgrade and new features... Great game but, ember has neglected us for too long... bored AF... ### 3/5 — FOH *2018-04-29, version 1.5.4* It’s ahaight. 😤 ### 4/5 — A must have game..... *2018-03-30* Great game, I’ve been playing for 2 plus years now. I’ve met lots of great people and is still very entertaining to play. ### 3/5 — Constant booting issues and no new units or game play. *2018-01-08* I have been playing commanders for almost three years. The reason for staying is the people I’ve befriended in my alliance. Not for the game play, the events are the same predictable events, there has not been any new units released recently to train for even though they have slots available. Ember seems to focus more on its other games, granted they did issue another update recently but after the update I keep getting constant reconnect messages. The game has become more of a money player game if you want to level up quickly, and it’s obvious who those players are. ### 4/5 — Rewards *2017-12-01, version 1.5.2* Awesome game, but should have WAY better rewards and more of them. ### 2/5 — Money *2017-10-04* The game is okay. But if you don’t spend a lot of money you will be zeroed of all your troops all the time and never get ahead ### 1/5 — Offten glitch *2017-09-28* Offten game not loaded...in start page write "no connection" but Internet connect is good in browser and enother games. Глючная хрень короче. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2017-09-28* Не работает на ipad2 ### 4/5 — fun game *2017-09-21, version 1.5.1* enjoy the game ### 1/5 — Typical *2017-09-07, version 1.5.1* As usual the app won't work, you say you have to upgrade but it will not let you, sort it out ember. ### 1/5 — Pay to Play a boring game? *2017-09-02* Ember clearly doesn't care about this game. The same tired events weekend after weekend... There are far better games out there. ### 4/5 — Open Region 5 *2017-06-22* Overall good game. Need to open more regions as current regions alright have dominant players that you would have to spend thousands just to become even with. Also, it's been a long time since the last update. Let's hope they have something solid coming soon. Very similar to EZ just on a smaller scale. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Events!!! *2023-12-14* Where the events? We spend money on upgrades but everybody deserting the game because it seems like the creators have abandoned it. ### 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.... ### 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 ### 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!!!! ### 1/5 — The game won’t load, is there an issue here? *2018-11-26, version 1.5.5* Can you resolve this quick! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time with this one *2018-11-26, version 1.5.5* Has more faults than the SAN Andreas fault line. Developers no longer update as much and ignore emails reporting faults. ### 1/5 — Unable to access game and loading issues. *2018-11-26* Game loads but screen is dark and there is no functionality. This game always seems to have some issue with loading or like now you can see your base but cannot select anything. This is not the first time this has happened to this game. ### 1/5 — Update this crap *2018-11-24, version 1.5.5* Don’t waste your money and time on a game the never gets any updates or new stuff and always crashing smh ember ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jogo top *2018-12-26, version 1.5.5* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Since the update *2017-08-07* Since the update I can't stay on long enough to enjoy the game. I spent to much money and really enjoyed the game to quit but if they do t fix it soon I have no choice but to give up the game and say goodbye to the friends I made in the game and move on!!!! Pls fix it soon!!!!!!!! Fix by getting a new phone and been playing since. ### 5/5 — Bom *2017-07-07, version 1.5.1* Com album as meliorism extra Rica melhor Ainda de se jogar ### 5/5 — Good strategy game. *2017-05-13* Good platform easy to grasp. What I really like is the game plays with phone/tablet in the sideways position. Personally I've lost interest in games that play with phone held straight up and down ### 5/5 — Commanders *2017-05-12* Good game much like Game of war, Empire Z. Addictive and fun. Find an alliance and get playing. Better game than those in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Commanders *2017-04-20, version 1.5.1* Great Game, lots of fun!!!! 👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-04-10, version 1.5.1* Great to play easy fun and addicting. TY Jana ### 5/5 — Very fun *2017-02-03* Play this game is very fun ### 5/5 — Fun as hell *2016-12-12* Good game the packs or more expensive ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-11-18* Thought it was going to be another RTS game ... never played E Z (empire z) another ember game .... first was a little hard to handle but once I got the hand of things my core power was shooting up amazing people in game also haven't had an problem with game yet ... need to kill time just down load it and try it out ... and see for your self ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
