### 2/5 — Fun but hard to progress

*2025-07-19*

Why do we have to wait so long to level up?  Unlike prior game, this one is even more challenging to advance without paying more money.  I’m happy to watch videos to help pay if that is necessary, but it is really tiresome to play constantly and not win.  I have plenty of money in the bank but can’t level up in order to get the advantage.  So I quit for several days until I get bored.

### 4/5 — Review

*2025-07-01, version 332*

Graphics need to be 10-20% bigger   

make harder to level up acquire equipment  most things available right away

Add more units to acquire

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-05-14, version 300*

Wish it didn’t have so many micro transactions it brings down the historical experience.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2025-05-03*

The app has some massive bugs right now. No good way of contacting anyone to help fix the issues either. When I go into pvp, half my troops don’t show they are even a option. Been playing this game for awhile and it’s majorly glitched.

### 5/5 — It’s play

*2025-04-01, version 273*

It plays well and the tutorials are very helpful.

### 5/5 — Great Action Game

*2025-03-26*

It’s a great game to play normally I don’t play turn games but this 1 is amazing I like the now that you can join an alliance if your looking for one join Alpha1

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-03-24, version 263*

Awesome job

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2025-03-21*

Just started playing Grand War, and can’t stop!
Every chance I get, I’m playing

### 2/5 — Really wanted this to like PanzerCorps

*2025-03-17*

When I got this, I was hoping it was like Panzer Corps 1 or 2. I was wrong. There’s no combined arms (AT supporting infantry, etc) and no matter how I tried I had to grind lower missions over and over to level units enough to advance one battle then rinse and repeat. 
If you don’t mind grinding and paying to get leveled quicker, and enjoy WW2 games then it’s worth a shot. If not, then don’t bother.

**Developer response:** We are very sorry for the bad gaming experience you have experienced. We will continue to optimize and update the game to achieve better results.

### 5/5 — Hookeddddddddd

*2025-03-10, version 258*

I love this game a little to much along with the other previous WW2 strategy ones made by this company leaving me hooked for hours😫

Customer service issue : I bought the monthly equipment pack of 10 “equipment orders” for 750 medals in which after buying them and going straight to the armaments section to do the weekly unit I didn’t receive any enhancements but lost all of my precious equipment orders🥺🎖️ (also please add more to the original daily prizes increasing them from just one)

Highly suggested improvements for another amazingly crafted WW2 game by you guys😎

1 Supply truck doesn’t transport infantry or artillery (despite all the artillery being SPG’s)

2 Their isn’t any towed artillery pieces and Howitzers

3 Resource output mainly steel isn’t produced in high enough quantities even if you have generals that have recourse abilities or even if you have a steel plant or two especially in the beginning rounds (regardless of having few plants initially)

4 Their isn’t flame troops which were common in specific theaters and battles during the war and were quite useful 

5 anti aircraft infantry ?? Yes individual soldiers could carry MG’s and use them as a anti aircraft weapon but to have a specific unit for it in game is slightly annoying and OP to say the least but unless you check each infantry unit type in mission as I do sometimes just because of the new addition of them it make the air campaign harder then usual as theirs already flak guns, bunkers, and anti aircraft vehicles and not to mention fighters 

6 engagements between certain units are unrealistic in the sense that a motorized infantry unit shouldn’t be dealing significant blow to a T-34 with general for example talking 2/3 of health and etc for different unit engagements as well

7 Rank up is quick which overall is good but having 20 plus units not to mention generals is hard to keep up with as most of my main units are rank 22-24 while I’m a level 33 commander and majority of my generals are rank 18-22 leaving me to play catch up trying to rank all them up to commander level 

8 fighters, bombers, and SPG artillery ammunition count.. 4 rounds is not enough‼️‼️‼️ I enjoyed the previous 4 WW2 strategy games ammunition count as it wasn’t overkill but just enough where after 4 rounds your not out of ammo 

9 Fuel is one of the most important things in war and I will say I enjoy the unlimited non stop blitz of the troops but also find it slightly less satisfying without having to keep a eye on my fuel

### 5/5 — Game

*2025-03-09, version 258*

Very cool game, well thought through

### 3/5 — Mr Phillip

*2025-02-28, version 252*

Indicative

### 5/5 — It’s Just Great

*2025-02-27, version 252*

Great game, overwhelming at first but stick with it and figure it out - you don’t have to pay to win, cheap upgrades make it more fun, but it’s NOT essential. Challenging to master, historically informative, tactically sound for an IOS game!

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2025-02-22, version 252*

So far so good, we shall see

### 5/5 — Grandioso

*2025-02-22, version 252*

### 1/5 — Good to bad

*2025-04-17, version 277*

How does a good game turn into a bad game?  Look at your recent changes. Perfect example! Very unhappy!!!

### 1/5 — Could be all time great.  Could be

*2025-04-11, version 277*

Developers need to update the sale items. I’ve bought a couple of things but it’s still just the same items for sale. Needs to be regular updates to this so people can advance quicker

### 1/5 — War game

*2025-01-12, version 214*

So far a good game , just starting to play

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2024-11-10, version 187*

The app has some massive bugs right now. No good way of contacting anyone to help fix the issues either. When I go into pvp, half my troops don’t show they are even a option. Been playing this game for awhile and it’s majorly glitched.

### 1/5 — La promoción del juego es erronea

*2024-10-08, version 1.16*

Descargue el juego porque vi la promoción y los gráficos parecían ser excelentes. Pero la promoción del video que ellos muestran es de otro juego totalmente diferente al que uno descarga. Que decepción🤨

### 1/5 — Freezing

*2024-10-01*

Love the game, but when I try to play Dunkirk on the ally campaign the game directs me to go to competition mode and takes me through a tutorial. I go through the steps and the game freezes after I click next step after auto deploy every time. I cannot click anything or go back pretty upset because I love the game, but I am unable to play due to this. I have emailed the game creator and have not heard a response.

**Developer response:** We are sorry for the bad gaming experience. We have fixed this bug in the latest version. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can contact us through comments.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2024-10-01, version 1.15*

Here’s your review, your being reported for stealing videos from Pc games, yes your video is from sudden strike and I’m sure they didn’t authorize you to use it. Enjoy & no I don’t need your bot automated reply ☺️

### 1/5 — 数值游戏，概率极低

*2024-10-01, version 1.15*

好不容易攒了40抽，也没抽到新手将池的将
现在新手池关了，而我只有2个金将要我怎么玩

### 1/5 — Game locked up

*2024-09-29, version 1.15*

Ok game but when went to competition game will not do anything locked up

### 1/5 — Could be all time great.  Could be

*2024-09-27, version 1.15*

Game is great except it seems to like making you go to different scenarios at main screen and you can’t do anything except follow it then it just crashes on you. Ridiculous really when there is so much going for this game. It is now completely unplayable for me.

### 5/5 — WW2 GAME A MUST PLAY

*2025-06-27*

I’ve been playing now for a long awhile and the game is great the graphics yet not the best with current tech but must admit best out of any WW2 GAME I PLAYED YET. The troops and generals are the best they’re always coming out with new material like new troops and generals you can buy and they every time you accomplish goals you have a chance to unlock a general of gold standard or an elite troops that won’t be available again unless they release it with the game but the game is exciting,Addicting and all around a great game to play if you like history and war games I have 2 words of advice. 1- Cash in the game is hard to come by so use it wisely and really only use it on upgrading troops and generals skills and their ranks. 2-if you watch the ads and buy the 30day v.i.p. Package and than spend 600 medals on investing you’ll have way more than enough medals at the end of the month to buy cash in game and to unlock troops in the tech screen it’s all intimidating at 1st but if I figured it out so will you and also I almost forgot a 3rd piece of advice contact to discord and look through the guides that teach you how to make the best of this game and if anything issues somebody in the chat will help you with anything you’ll need advice what to spend money on and what’s not worth it anything you’ll ever need these guys know trust me that’s all I have for you about this game but I’ve been playing everyday for over 2yrs now and still playing

**Developer response:** Thank you for your love and support for our game. We will continue to update and optimize the game and strive to bring high-quality gaming experience to all players.
