### 4/5 — Please Fix Resolution

*2026-05-14*

I miss this game. Can you please fix the resolution so it scales on newer iOS devices

### 2/5 — Great Little War Game 2 (iOS)

*2026-03-23*

I played Epic Little War Game before this and really enjoyed it, so I came into this expecting a similar or improved experience. After trying it, it honestly feels like a downgrade.

I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and despite being a modern device, this game feels outdated. The resolution hasn’t been updated, and the visuals look rough and poorly optimized. Landscape mode is acceptable, but portrait mode is almost unplayable with overlapping UI and cut-off text.

The biggest issue is stability. When trying to upgrade units using bonus options, the game freezes or crashes entirely, which makes it frustrating to continue playing.

It’s disappointing because I know what this series is capable of. Compared to Epic Little War Game, this just feels unpolished and neglected.

Honestly, I’d recommend playing Epic Little War Game instead, or looking for other similar strategy games, as this one just isn’t worth it in its current state

It also seems like the game is no longer being updated, so it’s unclear if these issues will ever be fixed. I’m leaving this review for anyone considering it.

### 2/5 — Formatting is off

*2025-07-28*

Whilst I love this game from way back they should not be allowed to sell it now. Why? It’s not fit for purpose. The formatting is so off on newer phones that you cannot see/read the screen correctly.

### 3/5 — Needs more

*2024-07-31*

A great little game but needs more than 50 levels. As a paid-for game I think there should be more. I completed it within a weekend

### 2/5 — Out of date, not compatible with 14Pro

*2024-06-26*

I used to play this game (first version) on my iPad G1 and it is a nice strategy game in the vein of Advance Wars. But this is not rendering correctly in my iPhone 14 Pro. It doesn’t fit on the screen properly in either portrait or landscape! Not what I would expect for a pay-to-play game! Either fix it or remove it from the App Store. Terrible experience.

### 2/5 — Won’t fit my iPhone screen

*2024-03-24*

I paid for a game that I really like but it doesn’t fit on my iPhone screen. I tried display settings and everything else but it doesn’t fit the screen and takes the enjoyment out of it. Now if the developer wants to help me with my issue that would be great…

### 4/5 — Always liked the game but the screen is glitched

*2024-02-13*

When I open the app it is super zoomed in. I can play kind of, but the menu and everything is super zoomed in which sucks because I can’t do much.

### 3/5 — Aspect ratio

*2023-11-23*

Recently came back to this game after years of first playing it, and it is by far one of the best strategy games I ever played. Since it’s so old the aspect ratios on newer phones are messed up. Please add support for latest iPhones.

### 2/5 — Good and bad.

*2022-07-31*

It’s a good little game, I played the original several years ago. However, although I can play the game whenever I leave the main screen, try to add “Battle points” or install any of the other options that it prompts me to do it goes to a blue screen where I can do nothing. I have deleted and re-downloaded the game a few times but with the same result and that of course takes me back to game 1. So I can’t upgrade or really do anything. Frustrating 😕 I tried contacting app support but it only opens up a blank page. I guess they need app support for the app support page. 
Not getting any better! I still can’t get any upgrades as it just goes to the blue screen which effectively locks me out. And I still can’t get any app support. I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2021-12-11, version 1.5*

Won’t resize for my phone. I spent money on an app that doesn’t work 🙄

### 1/5 — App screen too large

*2021-04-30*

This app does not function on an iPhone 10. The screen is enlarged and none of the menu options are clickable. You cannot exit settings, restart a level or exit a game in progress.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-04-25*

Original was good but this is an underdeveloped waste of money. Cannot stress this enough, do NOT waste your money

### 3/5 — Great but why get rid of others in the series

*2021-02-07*

### 1/5 — Don’t Download!

*2023-11-07, version 1.5*

This app is not meant to be played on a phone. The app runs off of the screen and can’t be played. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Not formatted for IOS

*2023-07-24, version 1.5*

This game is not correctly formatted for IOS. It’s unplayable as it is. Everything is really zoomed in to the point you can’t even navigate settings. The buttons are so large in game that they take up most of the screen. I loved the game when I played it on android but this just is t worth playing.

Played on iPhone 12 Max Pro

### 1/5 — Not IPhone compatible

*2023-03-13*

### 1/5 — Great little war 2

*2022-08-29*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t scale right anymore

*2022-07-08, version 1.5*

Looks like garbage on a 13 pro max.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-10-28*

Remember playing this game as a kid and being mesmerized by it. I don’t know how this would hold up to the new generations standards but to me this game will always be a 5.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2021-05-31*

Fun laid back casual game

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2019-08-15*

It’s a great game! To those that are crying about a dollar or two lost on this if they didn’t have a correct device: SHUT UP, CHEAP SKATE. That isn’t much money, and while I know the campaign is a little.... harsh, I would suggest it to any player that likes a challenge. If you think levels are impossible, I’m on level 30, and that is truly hard, but I will, one day, pass it! So please, to those that think it’s bad... YOU CAN’T DO ANY BETTER, AND RATING THIS BAD BECAUSE OF HARD LEVELS IS STUPID! This is to other player, not to the devs, I only want to see the other games from this company on the market, as my tablet dosn’t have them.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2019-07-05*

This game may have many bad reviews, but I had this game from the start and is worth every cent! Those bad reviews are not true because their devices are old and simply can’t support such a game! My favorite childhood game, had it since I was 3! Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Un nouvel opus bientôt ?

*2019-03-17*

Ce jeu est vraiment distrayant, et rare sur iPad. Du coup, j’ai joué aux 4 jeux édités, jusqu’au bout. J’aimerais bien en avoir encore, mais l’éditeur a l’air de dériver vers les jeux de lettres. Dommage, snif..

### 5/5 — Ok

*2019-02-01*

Super jeux bonne stratégie bon passe temps

### 5/5 — Лучшая TBS игра

*2018-08-07*

Лютейшая пошаговая стратегия!👍
