The game is fine. Can be engaging while you are building troops but there comes a time when you have gone as far as you can. Even after spending lots and lots… It’s always been the buggy and or inconsistent in game play. And the game doesn’t reward you for getting far. Lots of messages like ‘coming soon’. And then they never come… ### 4/5 — Island war *2025-10-01, version 5.9.2* Gioco molto carino, si fa un po’ fatica a progredire a livelli alti e dopo un po’ diventa ripetitivo, ma durante le battaglie è soddisfacente e tutto sommato il gioco è fatto bene ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-09-05, version 5.9.0* when I downloaded it I thought it’ll be like the other games that u had to watch ads to play and it will be hard to play the game but no there are no ads unless you want to double what you get from a match and the gameplay is amazing thank you for this game ### 5/5 — W game *2025-08-24, version 5.9.0* Good game👍 ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-08-24, version 5.9.0* Play it it is fun ### 5/5 — Long term game *2025-08-14, version 5.8.9* I’ve played the game for a long Time since o was around six and it is really fun all of my freinds said it’s a ripoff but it’s better then the so called original five stars from me ### 5/5 — 変な広告がないのが良い *2025-08-08* 無料なのに、変な広告がなく、一部を除き、プレイ回数制限もないので、やり込みしやすい。 ランキング制度もありますが、こだわらないなら一人で暇つぶしのゲームには最適 **Developer response:** ゲームを気に入っていただけてとても嬉しいです！DiscordまたはFacebookのコミュニティに参加して、他のプレイヤーとあなたの経験や戦略を共有しましょう。ゲーム内の「設定」→「サポート」→「フォロー」タブで詳細をご確認ください。島々でのプレイをお楽しみください！ ### 3/5 — Non fatevi fregare *2025-07-28, version 5.8.6* Il gioco in se è carino, peccato che la scelta dell’isola è random e ogni tiro costa 50 gemme. Dopo che con 2000 gemme e quindi 40 tiri di fila non mi è comparsa l’isola desiderata, ho disinstallato. Credetemi le isole non sono tante e avevo fatto dei tentativi anche in precedenza. Per fortuna non ho speso denaro, ma tempo, risorsa preziosa anche quella. ### 5/5 — Waiting for game updated *2025-07-15, version 5.8.6* Wait for your updated ### 5/5 — My childhood *2025-07-03, version 5.8.6* This game is so fun, it was not only a way for me to have fun but it was a way for me to bond with my brothers who at the time didn’t think to highly of me so, thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não é confiável para fazer compras *2026-06-06* Fiz assinatura vip + passe entre outros, a assinatura vip cobrou do meu cartão e sumiu depois dos três dias, entrei em contato com suporte mandei número do pedido mandei prints da tela mostrando que não estava ativa sl da demora para responder não resolveram.

Well another day and the same generic response from the developers it’s the same recorded response I got and more than likely I will tell them the response and I will get the same recorded response off them as I say don’t even waste your time on this games Sunday night already been disconnected mid game 6 times absolutely pathetic ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-05-13, version 6.0.2* Constantly freezes and cuts off in mid war you make a complaint and you get a generic response asking for pictures etc pathetic they don’t do anything about it do not put any money into the game you don’t get value in my point find another game to play….update 4th time this week constantly crashing pointless yet I continue take my advice stay clear still the same 5th time frozen and got kicked off if it carries on it will be pointless developers just give generic utterly stupid responses do ntnot bother messaging its a waste of time ### 1/5 — Ruined the game developers *2026-05-07, version 6.0.2* I’ve lost 20 out of 20 games 2 days in a row because they made a balance adjustment. On average I would win 16/20 there is no way to win on offence anymore!! PLEASE CHANGE THE GAME BACK TO HOW IT WAS!! ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎 *2026-02-02, version 6.0.0* 👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — They’ve killed this game *2025-11-23, version 5.9.9* I have been playing this game for over 3 years. It was the best, truly strategic, fun, competitive, clever. THAT IS ALL GONE NOW. Out of greed or sheer incompetence, it has been turned into a dull silly string of childish battles you almost can’t lose. Worse than that: the two-week season resets at 1am GMT on a Saturday. Your ONLY chance of faring well is to be up 30 minutes before to frantically launch all your available battles. That’s how idiotic this game is now. Don’t play it unless you’re a serious masochist. ### 1/5 — Don’t let you kid *2025-09-28, version 5.9.2* Don’t allow your kid to get this!!! He bought $70 worth of useless nothings and now stupid Apple won’t refund me. Or just turn off in app purchases like I learned the hard way. This is robbery and the Apple is the protector!!! ### 1/5 — Unfair *2025-08-07* Das Spiel ist für den asiatischen Raum zugeschnitten. Die haben nur Vorteile. Sehr schade und schlecht für uns Europäer 😡 **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir möchten Ihnen versichern, dass Island War für Spieler weltweit konzipiert ist.

Can’t get the troops needed even if you spend very hard to progress now found out new islands were given to a certain few. Makes me want to stop spending which I’m going to do ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2026-08-14, version 6.0.5* This game is so interesting and i play it regularly but i like it to have editors choice and add more challenging options and add more ### 5/5 — 神ゲーですね。 *2026-07-13* タコボンドの動画で見てやって見ました。 **Developer response:** ご感想ありがとうございます！タコボンドの動画を通じてプレイしていただけて嬉しいです。他のプレイヤーや開発者と交流したい場合は、ゲーム内の「設定」→「サポート」→「フォロー」タブからDiscordやFacebookコミュニティに参加してください。 ### 5/5 — Super *2026-06-20* J’adore ce jeu.

I been seeing the "Coming Soon" message for years. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-15, version 6.0.2* This game is so fun! There are so many things you can do in the game that really elevates the gameplay to make it soooo much more fun. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2026-02-07, version 6.0.0* This is actually a very fun game. You must organise and strategically plan your attack boats and your island that you set défenses on to repel other players. There is a wide range of troops and heroes, and interesting troop combinations and interactions. The only slight problem is most of the time you are attacking people who you can easily win against or someone a lot higher than you. Same goes for défense, most of the time you will be attacked by people a lot higher than you and you can’t really do anything. However there is a variety of different game modes to participate in, so it’s not a huge issue. Progress isn’t too difficult, even if you don’t pay any money. Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes strategy games. ### 5/5 — Heat *2025-11-24, version 5.9.9* This game is fire ### 5/5 — Goated *2025-11-22, version 5.9.9* I just use a boat of level 6 wolfs and they kill everything ### 5/5 — A very open game, where you can do a lot of stuff *2025-10-07, version 5.9.2* This game shows like the more you work hard you get better stuff and you get what you want and it makes it fun because it makes you feel proud when you complete something --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
