### 3/5 — New update

*2021-12-14, version 5.2.0*

Hi
Please undo this latest update.  It makes the game take forever.  I hate it.

### 3/5 — Help, game keeps crashing suddenly

*2020-01-02, version 5.1.1*

Please fix as this is such a fun game, may has to do with recent iPhone update

### 3/5 — Increasingly frustrated and not in a good way

*2019-05-28, version 5.1.1*

I have been playing this game for years but I have noticed a deterioration. I suspect that something has been fiddled with to make the Game more exciting (which it didn’t need) but in the process on occasions it becomes totally unplayable because of crazily unlikely dice throws by AI opponents. Please fix this because otherwise it’s a great, simple game.

### 3/5 — Not so random perhaps?

*2019-01-19, version 5.1.1*

Although this is fun, the dice seem loaded on certain maps. It seems to consistently be "random" in a way that goes against me, to the point where it seems not so random. But although it feels like the dice are loaded, the game, and challenge are still fun.

### 4/5 — Love the game but...

*2018-01-06, version 5.1.1*

MY ARMIES KEEP RANDOMLY DISAPPEARING, I play with max computers on hardest difficulty and it really dampens an attempt to take a continent when 14 armies VANISH. Please fix this, happens almost every game at least once

### 5/5 — Latest update fixed landscape issue

*2017-12-15, version 5.1.1*

App is back working after latest update. Landscape bug where presses were miscalibrated has been fixed. 
Great Risk-like game.

### 3/5 — Still buggy on iPhone X

*2017-12-15, version 5.1.1*

This update does make the game playable again, but there are ugly grey borders in both landscape and portrait now and the title screen is stretched out so the notch cuts a bit off the title. Stick with 2 versions ago if you haven’t ‘upgraded’ this, it looked a lot nicer back then!

### 5/5 — One of the best games

*2017-12-15, version 5.1.1*

Well done fixing the bug one day post release!

————————————————-
I've been playing conquest for years on all my apple devices. Clocked well over 2000 games, really enjoy it. The hardest mode is fair (still easy if you know how to win - Australia!), I don't know why everyone complains about losing to dice roll when it's just random rolls. More pieces you have for attacking better odds of winning.

### 4/5 — Update have problems.

*2017-12-14, version 5.1*

The new update doesn’t show the number of armies next to the cards. It is hard to play without that. Please fix it.

### 5/5 — Merci pour cette maj iPhone X

*2017-12-14*

Un jeux que j’adore vraiment qui pour moi ce rapproche du jeux RISK que j’ai connu.
J’attendais avec impatience la maj pour l’optimisation sur l’iPhone X qui est maintenant chose faite !
Merci !

### 5/5 — Simple fun

*2017-12-13, version 5.1*

I’ve spent a lot of time on this game. Dev updates a lot for such a simple game. Very much appreciate what you do.
Cheers

### 1/5 — Touch defekt

*2025-10-11*

Leider ist an einigen Stellen auf dem Display die touch Funktion defekt.

### 1/5 — Pure Garbage!

*2025-01-14, version 5.3.0*

The dice rolling in this game is beyond ridiculous. You could play this game in real life 1000 times and not one time role as bad as you will in this game. You need to have at least three times as many armies as your opponent in order to possibly have an even match, otherwise forget it. On top of that the AI players do not even try to win the game, all they do is attack you when it serves no strategic purpose.

### 1/5 — Trash rolling

*2024-05-04*

The game would be great except for the rolling is just nearly impossible. It just gets exhausting playing against AI that isn’t trying to win. The game is only trying to attack you for no strategic purpose and you have to have 3 to 4 times more armies in order to have an even match. 1 star simply because of the gameplay.

### 1/5 — Rigged AI

*2023-12-30, version 5.3.0*

Like I said.

### 1/5 — Slow play with update

*2023-09-11, version 5.3.0*

Wish I wouldn’t of updated this game. Slowed it down a lot

### 1/5 — Too basic

*2022-01-08, version 5.2.1*

Too basic

### 1/5 — Update needed

*2021-01-22, version 5.1.1*

It’s about time this game had an update, needs more maps etc been the same now for years.

### 1/5 — PROBLEM! Keeps Deleting Troops!

*2017-09-25, version 5.0.1*

The current version has a huge bug! It keeps deleting troops! Just huge amounts of troops will suddenly disappear and the effect is 0. Please fix this with an update.

### 5/5 — Great Risk Type Game

*2025-11-09, version 5.3.0*

Lots of maps, well designed. I’ve spent endless hours playing this game.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-04-14, version 5.3.0*

Great game, just wish there were new maps

### 5/5 — Great game, but…

*2024-05-29, version 5.3.0*

The computer has limitations. It will only attack from a max of like 3 territories away. Won’t pursue and chase. With that, I’ve beaten the 220 country level in like 13 rounds. I keep challenging myself for a better and better strategy.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2022-04-07, version 5.2.1*

Be sure to set speed to max, as well as AI, great to pass time

### 5/5 — Grandma’s Favorite

*2022-02-26, version 5.2.1*

Yes, I’m a 70 year old grandmother who played RISK (copyrighted) back in college! Staying up half the night, forming alliances, etc. and still have the board game in a closet! When Sean O’Connor came out with Conquest (copyrighted) on the computer, it was the first game I ever purchased! And transferred from upgrade to upgrade. And then there were phones, and then iPads! Thank you, Mr. O’Connor for providing me and my husband with hours upon hours of fun and competition through the years. I’ve downloaded several of your word games as well and they are challenging. They keep my mind sharp. And, you’ve never gouged us with in-app purchases! You are a true gentleman! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-12-11, version 5.2.0*

Had this game for a lllooonnnggg time now and still play it regularly.

The AI isn’t the best. But, eh - it’s ok.

Any chance with the new internet network play feature that some infrastructure be setup somewhere where people can share/see active games and play those?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-03-22, version 5.1.1*

One of the best in the app store.

Have been playing this on occasion for many years. It’s always worked well and gives a large variety of play scenarios to provide different challenges.

### 5/5 — Good game, add real multiplayer (instead local) please!

*2019-08-27, version 5.1.1*

This is a good game. Many imaginative map, could see author names all the tiles also. The mechanism of the game is simple but fun.

 However I felt the AI is too simple, and the game becomes unchallenging. For those who want to know the winning strategy against AI, here is my ideas (original setting, other configurations are simple too):

1. Be a nomad. Accumulating your army in a single tile, attack zero defense territory to gain card bonus. While AI attacking each other constantly to reduce their total army, your vastly strong army with one tile will be ignored by all AI. When the time is ripe you just be an assassin, kill a player or grab a weak province and fortify it, accumulating your higher income. 

To be a nomad you need to search a tile that have good transportation power, to reach many other tiles (your grassland) easily. 

2. Be a land tycoon. In some map the key is not win a province, but just grab as many territories to gain 1 army per 3 tiles. This you need to notice the AI interests by seeing where they attack. And then you attack the land where no one interests. To secure your land you eliminate weak colors leaving only 2 or 3 neighbors. 

3. This is by far the simplest, in the beginning just find a province that is very easy to defense, and accumulating your army to conquer that province. In world map it’s obviously Australia. After conquering just wait, as your income is higher than others, and they are constantly war each other to undermine their army. Then slowly crouch out, expanding. 

As you can see, the AI is stupid. It lacks the big picture. They can’t see whom is threaten all of them and be unified against that color. They just constantly war each other without knowing the number of total army. When one AI is hugely advantageous the AI doesn’t know how to properly grow and attack, and their army is useless. Their actions are often bizarre. 

So I would suggest adding online multiplayer server, so we can play real persons, that will be way more challenging. 

Also please add new maps, you have a lamb world map which only contains 42 territories. Why not combine the map of US, China, Europe, Middle East, Africa, etc, to build a vast world map? That will be very cool.

Also in the end game where your army and land is way superior please add the function to auto attack all remaining land and win. So we don’t need to click all the land and do the boring work. 

Also in some map it’s unclear where is the border of province, and what is a province’s output.

### 5/5 — The Best!!!

*2018-10-29, version 5.1.1*

My favorite game app ever. Played all the maps over and over, probably thousands of times and mastered all the mode options. Still love it. Great for winding down and relaxing with.

### 5/5 — Great app & superb support

*2018-01-14, version 5.1.1*

This is an app I play a lot. Definitely worth the price. I had a problem with a download and the developer helped right away. Definitely recommend it.
