A little upsetting

I should have read the reviews.

I enjoy playing tutorials since they are supposed to SHOW you the ropes. They also give you an idea of what the game is about, how it plays, and to SEE if you’re going to enjoy it.

I love these types of games. What I don’t like is when you have an objective right off the edge of the screen or an enemy and you CANT SEE IT. I’m not saying it’s not there. It obviously is. But it takes away from the immersion.

And this can be fixed. And I’ll wait. You can have the rest of my money for your IAP when the screen is fully visible. I’ll be happy to raise my review score once I can see the city in the tutorial on iPhone 15. Or make the settings accessible.

Please?

Great game, lacking some features

Overall super fun and a great adaption of advanced wars. Love it. However some noticeably missing features like limited settings and configurability, can’t turn off auto save, limited customisation. Love the WW2 theme and how some battles are replicated!

Awesome game. Doesn’t account for corners

I love this game, been playing for a few weeks now. Almost exactly like advance wars without the characters and their abilities. I have been playing
a lot of custom maps and wanted to try my hand at it. Unfortunately I can’t save anything I do because the button is in the corner of the screen. On the Iphone 13 pro max the corners are rounded and this game does NOT accommodate for it. Please fix this. Thank you for this amazing game! Looking forward to any add ons or updates!
