### 3/5 — Kind of does not work

*2024-07-23, version 3.1.1*

It does not work! Every time I click play and then campaign it kicks me out of the game! Why? I don’t know why but I do not know if I should blame the game or not, but I am going to leave it in the middle. Will update if I figure out the problem.

I’ve played this game on and off for many years now and it’s always been a blast. So much fun and addicting tactics to enjoy with a large character selection. I’d recommend this game to anyone who’s looking for some genuine honest fun on their mobile device. I’ve returned back to this game a couple times and have lost everything but I reached out and the developers helped restore my data within a day or two. Just a wonderful game overall and I can’t rave enough about how much I’ve enjoyed playing it!
