Misjudged

I may have misjudged this game early on. A lot of improvements have happened, and the dev keeps adding content. Refreshing to see a game that isn’t pay to win and a developer who seems to care more about the game and the players than a cash grab. 1 star review up to a 5 because the game deserves it. Give it a chance.

Response from developer

Thank you for giving Groundwar a second chance, Sumistle! I am glad you are enjoying the changes, and for coming back to update your review. Early feedback like yours is a big part of why those improvements happened, and there's plenty more on the way :) Feel free to join the discord too and share your thoughts there so we can get more fun things implemented! – Deph

Boring

Well, I’m not a fake review from the dev and their friends, so I have to be honest… this game is relentlessly boring. You train troops, send them out, and they fight npc troops off camera at a location to capture it. You either capture it, or you train more troops to try again. That’s it. That’s the game. No strategy, no action, no nothing. Train, send, listen to the same 2 audios recordings of the march and the fight, repeat. If you do capture it, you can’t recall your troops, they’re gone forever. Captured locations get you more money so you can train more troops. Rinse and repeat. Boooooooring.

Response from developer

Hey, first off thanks for the feedback, but I am sorry you find it boring. You're right, the core loop is train, upgrade, march, capture, and that battles happen off-screen with the same couple of sound effects (sounds like I need to add more!). However, there are so many more features I am not sure you've tried, especially the teleport system so you can teleport any where in the world and fight against other real players (if there are none around your current location). Troops can't be recalled on purpose, I wanted every march to be a commitment, so choosing where to send them is one of the main decisions when planning your attack. Alongside teleports and bounty contracts to capture enemy territory, I'm also working on a new game mode, Warfront, which is a 1v1 strategy separate from the main game that takes place over a 72 hour window. Very early beta and big changes are coming to that also! I am a solo developer, so even though you find the game boring, feedback like this can help me improve the game, so thank you.

Super fun

Love this game. Super addicting. Great job devs

Brings out the conquerer in me

This game is super addicting and I find myself logging in constantly seeing who I can attack, who’s taken my territories and who I need to strike back at.

I have been plotting out my resources and upgrades to min max this like crazy. I am having an absolute blast.
