I've even encountered situations where I used four knights against two enemy knights and still lost. Another time, there were three knights in a town, but the enemy only needed one to take it down. It feels like a complete mess in this aspect. ### 2/5 — Glitch at quest 6 *2026-05-29, version 3.0.3* The game is good overall but the error message “ads show error” keeps popping up when trying to play quest 6 and at the beginning when opening the app. The paywall definitely hurts the game and I wish there were modes to the ai. My coins also seem to keep resetting every time I get this error message, add ports for naval ships for stronger naval battles and PLEASE make the fighting system strength based(3 knights beat one every time) not luck. ### 4/5 — Bugs *2026-05-24, version 3.0.3* Great game, but I’m having bugs where it says “add show error” and won’t let me play certain levels ### 2/5 — Decent progressive gameplay *2026-05-19, version 3.0.3* The game glitches if the game is saved and you exit. There is no multiplayer. The custom matches create landscapes that lock opponents bases out of reach (thus never winning). The campaign is good but not long enough. The send all troops way point continues to override previous directions to unit you want to stay put. You cannot pull back the send all waypoint once you use it. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2026-03-22, version 3.0.3* Wish there was more research and bigger maps to work with but besides extra additional stuff it’s very fun and if you are reading you should download ### 4/5 — iPhone island interference *2026-01-21, version 3.0.3* The island for the selfie camera is blocking my whole view of the materials and I have to keep swiping up to see how much I have but overall a good game would keep playing if this gets fixed it’s just an inconvenience. I have an iPhone 17 pro ### 4/5 — iPhone island interference *2025-12-02, version 3.0.3* The island for the selfie camera is blocking my whole view of the materials and I have to keep swiping up to see how much I have but overall a good game would keep playing if this gets fixed it’s just an inconvenience. ### 4/5 — Really like it even though *2025-11-22, version 3.0.3* Really like the game. Simple playable fun, Even though I’m coming across some issues with the computers being able to pass through trees and rocks when I can’t. Or computer seems to have quicker resource and troop rates ### 4/5 — Klasse Spielkonzept *2025-11-13* Ein tolles Spiel mit Echtzeitstrategie. Leider funktioniert der Multiplayer bei mir nicht. Man könnte überlegen, ob es Sinn macht, mehr Gebäudestufen einzuführen. Aktuell ist die beste Taktik gegen den Computer so schnell wie möglich alles zu überrennen. Versucht man taktisch erst mal ein paar Festungen aufzubauen und zu leveln, so wird man meist überrannt. ### 3/5 — A great game idea… but not a great development *2025-11-01, version 3.0.3* This is a great game and can probably be really decent if it fixes a few things. First, the game is basically a pay to play. There’s missions (which I have to admit is fun) but once you’re done those you have the online feature and skirmish. The online feature doesn’t work for me, and the skirmish cost pro. Plus you can make maps but you can’t even plumage them unless you get pro. I spent a great deal of time making a map just to get disappointed that it was all for nothing. All in all it’s a great game, lots of potential, but needs more work. ### 3/5 — Computer is too OP *2025-10-11, version 3.0.3* Over Powered Computer opponents has made this game so bad. ### 4/5 — Language issue *2025-09-09, version 3.0.3* The Chinese language option is unavailable. Clicking it will not switch the language. Attempting to switch to another language (e.g., Japanese) will cause the game to revert back to English by default after a restart. ### 3/5 — I bought the game years a go and now its locked *2025-09-04, version 2.5.3* Cant restore purchase ### 2/5 — Great game but you can’t even buy the full version *2025-09-03, version 2.5.3* All of the connections to servers are broken in this game. You cannot connect to anything and you cannot purchase the game because of it. Thus you are stuck with ads and can’t even access half of the game. ### 4/5 — Take my money *2025-09-01, version 2.5.3* The game is great. I wanted to purchase the full game but the button for it doesn’t work. Literally trying to give you my money but I can’t. I tried deleting the game and redownloading it but it still doesn’t work. Please fix this ### 3/5 — Boring *2025-08-29, version 2.5.3* This game has a great concept however try to add more buildings units etc ### 1/5 — The payment is MAD. *2025-08-27, version 2.5.3* This game is one quarter playable without paying like £10, it’s so greedy. 1 star :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Adds are ridiculous *2026-07-16, version 3.0.3* Makes you watch an entire add which can be multiple minutes long before playing a level. No skipping pretty ridiculous ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-10, version 3.0.3* Way too many ads game deleted ### 1/5 — Looks fun but can’t do level 6 *2026-06-21, version 3.0.3* Ad show error lol ### 1/5 — Dynamic Island means I can’t see the controls. *2026-05-31, version 3.0.3* In landscape mode, it cuts off some of the controls. In portrait, it cuts off the resources. Please fix this, you just need a buffer zone for the UI ### 1/5 — “Ads show error” *2025-12-02, version 3.0.3* I know my connection is fine because I have gigabit wifi and this is the only app having issues. I try to play a game and it either says “ads show error” making the game completely unplayable, or you go through a 5 minute unstoppable ad. No skip button not even 30 sec or a minute into the ad. Not even 2 minutes into the ad is there a skip button, you’re forced to go through the entire thing. (They may not actually be 5 minutes but still seriously SO long) just for them to end and get “ads show error” AGAIN, the game is unplayable due to the ads not working. I really like this game despite only making it to level 7 before my game broke and almost bought premium. ### 1/5 — Pay to Play Garbage *2025-11-06, version 3.0.3* An overly aggressive sales tactic and scam to get you to download a free game only to be forced to “unlock the game” to play. ### 1/5 — No online *2025-11-04, version 3.0.3* The games online feature doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Resources are blocked from view *2025-10-08, version 3.0.3* I have an iphone 17 pro, and the resources during play are blocked by the dynamic island and there is no way to move them to where I can see it. I will fix the review after the issue is resolved because this seems like a good game ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-09-17, version 3.0.3* Great game but can’t tap on level 5 icon. Nothing happens, can’t start that level. It feels like the bottom layer with the game demo can be scrolled, so maybe controls are locked to that layer? Also a bit boring, maybe make the bots aggressive, and use resources to block off land strategically. Please test on all devices. ### 1/5 — Nah. *2025-09-03, version 2.5.3* You gotta pay for offline skirmishes, and I aint paying for a game I’ve never heard of. And I definitely aint playing online, I despise people. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-02, version 3.0.3* Good ### 5/5 — More *2025-12-10, version 3.0.3* Need more maps!!! ### 5/5 — Great but terrible update *2025-10-16, version 3.0.3* I’ve lost many hours on this simple but great game. However the latest update spams so much terrain in skirmish mode that even the hardest settings are easy and too many games have enemies locked into corners unable to move out or be attacked. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-07-27, version 2.5.3* Raid is my favorite ### 5/5 — I like the game but *2025-06-05, version 2.5.3* I like the game wish there was more ways I could attack like naval ships and maybe horse and maybe some cool effects here and there ### 5/5 — Such a cute lil RTS! *2025-05-26, version 2.5.3* I can't wait to see more game features. The simplicity of the game is stellar, but I think some new units, and battling animations, would be awesomely! ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-04-08, version 2.5.3* So simple but so fun. I deleted all my game apps when I was studying, so glad I found it again! Also the music slaps :p ### 5/5 — W *2025-04-03, version 2.5.3* I have been looking for a game with simple controls, luck based for a while. ### 5/5 — Really good game except for one thing *2025-03-25, version 2.5.3* It’s a really good game, but there’s something I have to say that could’ve been the second best game ever for me but to say that it really crushed me into the negative floor when I completed absolutely everything so I’ll get a five star if there’s any more than a five star I’m not gonna go over that it’s not more than a five star, but I’m just gonna make it a five starso it could’ve been the best but really crushed me down ### 5/5 — Really cool game *2025-02-17, version 2.5.3* One or the best RTS ive played --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
