These maps badly need curating and some of them updating. Even on an 11 inch iPad Air, some maps are almost unplayable as the borders are not clear. It’s got a lot of appeal and I’d rather have it as it is, than to be massively overhauled and filled up with ads. It’s just a shame that some maps are not properly thought out. ### 4/5 — Very good *2026-03-17, version 3.25* Love the game… I just play the one most similar to the original game. I wish they would have an option to shut the sounds off without having to turn the phone volume all the way down. I’d like to be able to listen to music or a podcast without bombs exploring. ### 4/5 — A Favorite *2026-02-13, version 3.25* I’ve really enjoyed this over the years. Especially on the larger maps. I’d give it a five except whenever there’s an iOS update, the game crashes for a while, needing multiple download attempts. Seems to be a bit fragile. ### 4/5 — Fun but needs stronger AI *2025-12-17, version 3.25* I love this implementation of the game of Risk - it has ease of play, multiple option settings, board clarity, and the useful information displayed. Nice, clean, clear, fun. My one and only complaint is that the computer game players are fairly weak. There are a few different tactics (algorithms) that the different AIs are using, which is great, but they lack a larger strategic view and are therefore weak. I win more than 90% of the time which is not challenging enough. I can imagine other tactics for the computer opponents to employ. Or better yet, to combine tactics for when strategic opportunities present themself. And, at a higher level of play, to create improved odds at shaping strategic opportunities. ### 5/5 — Fun time waster *2025-12-09, version 3.25* It’s fun, simple, and enjoyable. I’m enjoying the Mexican/American war map presently. The only minor annoyance is when 1 enemy army gets to 1500+ troops it goes berserker mode and self suicides mostly on the human player ### 5/5 — Muito legal. *2025-12-07* Jogo a anos e não me canso. Mas seria legal ter mapas novos e maiores. ### 5/5 — Leider immer noch sehr gut *2025-12-07* Risk, Risiko kennt jeder und diese Umsetzung für iOS ist großartig!! Das schönste dabei: einmal zahlen , immer spielen! ### 4/5 — Keeps locking up. *2025-12-06, version 3.25* Love the game, but it has become unstable. The app won’t load. I’m on a 13 Pro running IOS 26.1 Maybe an update is in order? ### 3/5 — Needs update. *2025-11-12, version 3.25* Please update this app to bring it into this decade. It needs help. ### 5/5 — Best Risk Game!!! *2025-10-05, version 3.25* This is the best version of risk I have come across on the App Store. It has simple mechanics and I love all the other maps like Texas and King Arthur. Definitely recommend! I have played this for years and it never gets old! ### 5/5 — Played for years *2025-09-05, version 3.25* Yes. I’ve played for years. Impressed it still works. What a great and valuable game! ### 4/5 — Great Game *2025-09-04, version 3.25* This is a wonderful game. I love it. When is the multiplayer version gonna come out? Yes, I know you can set it to be human so you can play with multiple people on one device, I’m wondering when you’re gonna be able to do that across the Internet. That would be fantastic. The game does still glitch every now and again and sometimes it freezes. I hope maybe you’ll address those issues at some point in the future. ### 3/5 — Game is fun, reaper ai not so much *2025-08-26, version 3.25* I have been playing the free version for years and I really like it so I decided to purchase it a few days ago. I noticed that the reaper ai for the opponents are not challenging strategically. All they do is target the human player. For example if my tile is adjacent to a reaper but in a different continent and there is another opponent adjacent to the reaper that is in the same continent. If the reaper attacks that opponent then the reaper completes the continent and gets a bonus but instead of doing that, the reaper will still attack my tile even though there is a better option strategically. ### 5/5 — Le Risk, le vrais 👍👍 *2025-08-19* On retrouve l’esprit du jeux de plateau. Un classique et ensuite on peut charger plein de cartes différentes, et variations. Le must Have. ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever / Now not working *2025-08-16, version 3.25* Suddenly (without any iOS update) the game refuses to contact map downloads and then crashes upon attempted load on up to date iPhone 15. I have restarted, deleted and reinstalled. Something seems to be wrong as of Today. Sillysoft.net also seems to be unreachable. I would definitely pay for an update if this game as it is hands down my favorite go to strategy game. Please Developers take a look at what might be causing this new issue. Again, I as well as other lovers of this game would definitely pay for an update. Much thanks in advance. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no maps *2026-08-24, version 3.25* you can no longer download any maps ### 1/5 — RIP off *2026-08-21, version 3.25* Downloaded this game over 20 years ago. Loved it on the laptop. Randomly thought of it today and wondered if they had made a phone app. Paid £7 and it turns out you can’t even play against humans, like on the pc version. Absolute rip off. Dustin the owner should be ashamed of himself. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-12-08, version 3.25* Crashes constantly on iPad. I deleted and downloaded it several times and now it won’t even run. I tried to go to the Sillysoft website for help but the website wont load. ### 1/5 — Orphaned app *2025-12-07, version 3.25* Paid for this app. Now it freezes on splash screen. No outside support. Developer site is 404. ### 1/5 — iPHONE14 *2025-12-07* at least on my iPhone14 it was not work. click start and just opening or cannot select another maps ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-03-02, version 3.25* The app stopped working on all my devices. It just hangs at the splash screen. ### 1/5 — constantly crashing *2025-03-02, version 3.25* I love this game but it needs some attention. It’s constantly crashing upon starting it. Had to delete it, reinstalled, thought it was working, but then it just keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Turn players off!!! *2025-02-14, version 3.25* Why did this setting disappear to change the number of players? I don’t want to play all 6 🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — This game cheats *2024-08-17, version 3.25* It literally screws you lol. You can have triple the troops and lose. It never does this to itself. It’s just plain dumb 🤣 ### 1/5 — Bad Probability Math *2024-06-16, version 3.25* I’ve played risk-style games for years and understand there is a certain element of luck when playing any of these types of games. However, the probability factor of this game is WAY off. I’ve consistently had many times the armies of an opposing AI player and still lost, curiously at a higher rate of loss every single time I am about to “eliminate” another player. Which is interesting knowing that a basic probability generator (aka roll of a dice) is fairly basic to code. Whatever the developers have done here is overly complicated and downright unfair. I’m surprised they’ve spent so much of their time rigging the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Where is clash city Rocker? *2026-07-12, version 3.25* Have planned luxDLX for almost 30 years now. Clash city rocker has the best map, Roman Empire- still long term favourite. Come back CCR and make some more. Thanks for all the hours of fun! ### 5/5 — An all time favourite *2026-07-05, version 3.25* I keep coming back to this game and have done for years. It’s a great game for a little break (or a longer one if you choose a complex map)! Simple. Satisfying. A classic IMHO. ### 5/5 — Classic and the Best Risk Gamr *2026-05-18, version 3.25* It’s just great to play with great options and a great interface ### 5/5 — Foo Foo *2026-04-06, version 3.25* Foo Foo ### 5/5 — Blue World *2026-03-18, version 3.25* I play this game every evening most enjoyable line the old game of RISK I’m 85 years old 😂 ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-02-12, version 3.25* I loved the board game Risk as a teenager (I’m old). This is the best simulation I’ve found. I literally play it, and a couple of other simple games, multiple times a day, every day. I don’t like games that will distract me for long… I can take a few minutes break playing this game and then get back to work or whatever I’m doing. Easy to use and fun. I’ve been playing it for years! ### 5/5 — Still lots of fun *2026-02-11, version 3.25* Picked it up years later and I can put it down.. again. ### 5/5 — Best game on here *2026-02-10, version 3.25* Im totally addicted to this game, ive been playing it for years now and never get tired of it, thank you to the developers for keeping this game going and keeping it free. I also love the way you can customise the board, i tend to play against 3 opponents one hard one medium and one easy, i have maximum bio hazard’s on and play Europe only with animations turned off, try it! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-12-14, version 3.25* I’ve been playing this game since it was released. It’s at least 10 years old from what I can recall. I enjoy it very much and it keeps my brain sharp. ### 5/5 — Caution very addicting *2025-12-12, version 3.25* I’ve played thousands of games in at least 12 years using the game to clear my mind of my troubles.
