The algorithm that’s trying to always perfectly center the screen on the current fight is far too dumb and needs to better account for vertical screen space. Zooming in/out is not a useful feature and isn’t worth this dramatically worse experience. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-03-30, version 1.0.65* Fun and generally well-made game. Tech support lacks from time to time. ### 2/5 — Yeah …. *2026-03-02, version 1.0.65* Could be a fantastic game. Zero development, bug fixes or anything. Just pay maps is all they bring out. There’s better, much better out there. ### 4/5 — Finally Fixing Notifications *2026-02-09, version 1.0.61* I have changed my rating up to 4 stars as finally the developers fixed the notification problem for iOS systems with their recent updates. Also enjoy the recent new map Maxima. It is not 5 stars as I see the iOS version lacking the bells and whistles of the android version: can’t use links for games, no fancy statistics for games like Android, can’t replay games history, ….. I will change to 5 stars if you update the iOS version features to match the android version. ### 2/5 — So close to being great *2024-10-18* Cool game but not enough customizability. Also, easy and medium levels are way too easy but the hard level is just unfair as massive armies constantly lose to tiny ones, which is just a silly way to make the game more difficult and ruins the experience. ### 4/5 — Can’t change colors *2023-09-02, version 1.0.23* I have loved Landrule on android for years. Unfortunately I can’t choose my colors anymore…frustrating! Is that because of a new version, or is it because I switched to an iPhone? I don’t like red…so I might start looking for a different game. Why is the done button on the left now? I keep accidentally pressing the done button because it keeps trading places with the all button…very irritating! ### 4/5 — Decent app *2023-02-10, version 1.0.23* Good fun ### 3/5 — Still no turn notifications for iphone *2022-05-23, version 1.0.23* Loved this game on my android, but its been years now and im still not getting turn notifications on my iPhone, please please fix this ### 2/5 — Fun game, has 1 major issue for me. *2022-05-07, version 1.0.23* There’s only a few maps where you can win on the “harder difficulty”. The free ones, you can win relatively often once you understand the strengths of the map. However, the large maps that you have to purchase are literally impossible to beat on the harder difficulty. There’s always one team that gets completely left alone and dominates, where if you try to take over too much at one time, every team gangs up on you to the point where you can never get ahead. By the time you can gain a solid area for yourself, another team has dominated half the map. Please fix the AI on the larger maps because it’s lliterally in playable. In case someone from the development team reads this, the maps I’m talking about are: British Isles India North America And possibly more since I haven’t bought them all. I’m scared to, because I don’t want to buy an unplayable map. ### 2/5 — The game has become frustrating *2021-11-17, version 1.0.23* I used to love this game on android. When i switched to an iPhone a few months ago I was excited to install this on my new device. I typically play on the hardest setting because anything less is just too easy. The problem with the hard setting though is that the AI isn’t any smarter it just turns into all against one. While all your neighbors gang up on you they let the Ai players on the other side of the map build steam. So if you do survive the initial onslaught you don’t stand a chance against the others that got the massive head start. The only way to win is to get lucky on initial placement and to get lucky on rolls at the same time. I don’t want to win just because of luck. I’m looking for a new game. ### 2/5 — No notifications *2020-05-07, version 1.0.22* There aren’t notifications for iPhone even though they are turned on. Should be an easy fix, no? ### 3/5 — Fun but notifications don't work on iOS *2020-02-11, version 1.0.22* Please fix notifications. By far the best Risk experience on mobile but my friends I invite to play quit after losing a few games due to shot clock expiration caused by no notifications. Will be 5 stars once notifications are fixed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New layout *2026-03-30, version 1.0.65* There was an update that changed the scrolling of the maps. Something is off with the code…? Notifications are also funky. Sometimes it says I have a turn up,but then I pull up my games, and I don’t have a turn. Other times it doesn’t let me know when I have a turn and then I pull it up and I have turn in all five games (sometimes I lose my turn bc I didn’t know it’s my turn..) ### 1/5 — Latest update has bugs *2026-01-18* Most recent update for iOS has bugs. The app is now slow to load and you can’t scroll the multiplayer screen to launch a game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, the scroll bug in multiplayer is fixed in version 1.0.60. The app load time seems the same as before, could you email us at our contact address so we can help debug? Thanks ### 1/5 — So close to being great *2024-10-31, version 1.0.23* Cool game but not enough customizability. Also, easy and medium levels are way too easy but the hard level is just unfair as massive armies constantly lose to tiny ones, which is just a silly way to make the game more difficult and ruins the experience. After the tenth time where your arms of 20 loses to an army of 3 in the same game, you just quit and delete the app. Just dumb. ### 1/5 — AI is dumb as bricks *2021-10-02, version 1.0.23* Game is terrible due to AI playing like morons. They don’t try to actually win, just ensure you lose. Nothing strategic in their attacks. Game needs way better balance. ### 1/5 — £1 per game *2021-04-17, version 1.0.23* Rip off ### 1/5 — Games Great, iOS version is awful *2020-08-11, version 1.0.23* I moved from android recently and the android version is 1000% better. The iOS has poorly placed buttons that you can’t change and notifications that don’t work. At this point with the lack of support on iOS from landrule, this game is just becoming more frustrating and unplayable. ### 1/5 — Please update for iOS *2020-08-11, version 1.0.23* Landrule team, we love your game - but it hasn’t worked the last month on iOS. Can you please update? ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-01-13, version 1.0.22* I’ve played this game for years, and loved it. But with recent iOS updates, this game lags to the point that it’s unplayable. I contacted support and they requested I send a screen recording of the problem, so I did. But support never responded. After a few weeks I sent them another message asking if they had a solution, but they never responded. That was a few months ago, and the problems persist, and support won’t respond to me, so I guess this game is permanently broken. ### 1/5 — Store = Broken *2019-10-05, version 1.0.17* Fix your store, please! New phone, redownload, and no longer have access to ALL the maps I paid for! Can’t restore purchases if app won’t connect to store ... Used to be SUCH a great game, too!!! ### 1/5 — Thieves *2019-09-30, version 1.0.17* Don’t bother with this game. Developers of this game take your money for a product that quits working. They never respond to emails. They are thieves with no spines. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fav version of Risk esque game *2026-02-01, version 1.0.60* Love the option for fast paced games and combat resolutions. I’ve never found a better game than this ### 5/5 — Great time killer *2026-01-26, version 1.0.60* I just play the version with the original Risk world map. ### 5/5 — The best Risk style strategy game *2026-01-22, version 1.0.60* This game is fun and amazing. ### 5/5 — Trout *2025-09-17, version 1.0.23* The 5 active game limit is concerning. ### 5/5 — Solution *2024-04-10, version 1.0.23* If you can’t restore purchase try uninstalling and reinstalling it. ### 5/5 — great *2022-12-26, version 1.0.23* great online risk multiple 24 hour games to check in on everyday! You cant get any better than that! ### 5/5 — Seemingly the best risk like game for iphone *2022-03-08, version 1.0.23* Great for playing friends on iPhone or Android alike. Has some small glitches and it's actually very expensive if you want all the maps, which are $1 each and no bundle option. Purchased one map, it's so big you have to scroll around and there is no way to zoom out and get a look of the whole map at ounce. Hopefully the dev can fix this if there is another update ever. Also the AI is terrible so play against friends or strangers that are human at least. ### 5/5 — Got me through sixth form *2021-01-13, version 1.0.23* Played this back in the day at school and it revolutionised school-great game ### 5/5 — Great game, notifications don’t work *2020-11-20, version 1.0.23* Would be 5 stars if notifications worked - please fix!! ### 5/5 — Life Is Risk *2020-04-16, version 1.0.22* Landrule, is the comeback kid of the App Store. My fellow Risk enthusiasts have been exchanging armies across the board for years and we are so grateful for the platform that Landrule has provided! While once a glitchy, lagging application has now been upgraded and debugged to a modern game full of nuance, and strategic intellectual stimulation. If you are looking for healthy competition against your fellow man in a game of global domination (in the modern era) look no further than Landrule. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
