### 5/5 — Nice!

*2026-05-27, version 1.3.2*

It’s fun and easy to play strategy game.

### 4/5 — Needs a bit more but good

*2025-12-22, version 1.3.2*

Maybe add a few more, Magi and mechs and more weapons

### 5/5 — Amazing games, but with one (small) catch

*2025-12-14, version 1.3.2*

Forsaken has made some of my favourite games on here and most are free! Absolutely download every game of theirs, you will not be disappointed. But, I have one piece of constructive criticism for these superb games: they don’t support a controller on mobile. For most people, this is fine. But there is a community with controllers that hook up to their phone. But these games are so good, I’m fine to play without controllers. But if you want the games to be perfect, PLEASE add controller support for your games, forsaken.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-11-26, version 1.3.2*

Best game I’ve played hands down on the phone

### 4/5 — A better game

*2025-07-17, version 1.3*

Need a new viewing angle option like clash royal and new place other wise a good game

### 5/5 — Best game

*2025-07-13, version 1.3*

Отличная игра уже давно поигрываю на разных устройствах . Будет ли продолжение ? А вообще я ваш фанат с 2014 года начинал с n.y zombies 2 и heroes and castles 2

### 1/5 — Looks amazing, awful control setups.

*2025-05-18, version 1.3*

Fix. The. Controls. These are the most unresponsive control setups I’ve ever seen, nothing works as it should, deleting this and am not ever playing it again. I could not redo whatever tutorial there was. This game is not worth it if these issues are not fixed. Controls, proper tutorials, mechanics that work, like a tank not damaging me when it technically can’t hit me, that sorta thing.

### 1/5 — Can’t reset

*2025-05-05, version 1.3*

Game won’t let me reset data, not even deleting the app from my storage directly works

### 5/5 — Great gameplay

*2025-04-16, version 1.3*

This game I came across by accident. I played it and was thrown off by how immersive everything is. The abilities for each character and the way each character is. What would top this off even more is if you added costumes for each character or added a vs play with your friends if possible. So far this game has me hooked 😆

### 5/5 — Fun for hours

*2025-03-10, version 1.3*

This game has great graphics and gameplay. You don’t have to pay to win, but you might have more fun.
