Good game

Great sand box and levels good for a pixel war game but that’s it

Good game but needs more stuff

Good game but I wish like they added attack boats and like bigger planes and stuff like artillery guns

Very fun game

This game is very fun, but I feel like there are a couple issues that could be added that are more like quality of life. For one, please add back the legacy battle 3d levels that were before the revamp. Secondly, please add an option where you can use the old red flag. Another nice this that I think would be nice is an option to use the old scope, again before the revamp.

There might also be a bug, but for me I'm not able to use the epic music and I can't hear the battle music.

Thanks

Response from developer

Hello, I am glad that you also like Battle 3D with the old engine. In this game there are many of those missions that the old Battle 3D had, anyway with the mission editor you can define the missions as you want. Best regards.

Needs a bit more

The game is good overall but it would be nice if there was and unit that is a mix of a artillery and a truck or just artillery, basically it needs a bit more new units to control.And also a map that has a city or urban styled map.

Ok… but could do with improvements

The whole game really feels outdated maybe if they would add a better Home Screen it would improve the experience. Secondly the actual game is quite badly made like the first level your on you fell is quite easy but then there’s a massive jump up in difficulty to the second level which took me 7 attempts to complete and even then it was quite hard. Thirdly this isn’t much but just to add more things to the mission editor like maybe a water island mode with a aircraft carrier where the aircraft could be and ships with guns and landing craft to storm the beach of the island. You could add Vehicles like a drone, maybe different types of aircraft like for the enemy team they could have a 1 engined machine gun plane and for the allied team a 2 engined missile plane and you could even add bombers which could drop bombs on your enemy’s. Lastly you could add more biomes like a thick jungle or the savannahs of Africa or even a hilly plain.
