### 4/5 — Map gam boy

*2026-01-24*

This game is good. I won’t say it’s really of a map, but I like it. It has wars and battles. It’s good if you wanna play it if you wanna play some battle Royale or something you can join this game.

### 4/5 — Alright game

*2025-11-14, version 1.2.3*

The game isn’t that bad bro but level 17 is straight up weird.Can you make it so that instead we play as orange please because every time I do it I lose.I get like four tiles and I lose to the orange team.Please buff the red team

### 3/5 — What I would like to be added

*2025-01-04*

This game is good but I would like some more nations like Mexico or Russia or like your own map would be cool, just a suggestion.

### 4/5 — Good could add Asia

*2024-05-28, version 1.2.3*

I love to make custom war maps please add asia

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2024-04-07*

It’s pretty fun for a few levels.   Then the opponents start getting unfair buffs and losing starts getting old.  I never could figure out how to activate any of my own buffs, or any community maps.  The buttons just don’t work.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-03-15*

Definitely really fun to play but in some of the levels you have to rely on power ups instead of beating it legitimately

### 2/5 — 第二关把三个方向都设置进一点不然打不到

*2024-02-14*

完全打不过蓝方

### 4/5 — 可以

*2023-08-05*

挺好玩的游戏，但我才体验两关，以后行不行不知道

### 4/5 — Клон

*2023-06-02*

Китайский клон игры State.io, но как минимум здесь можно играть без интернета, не то что в оригинале, где не избежать жалоб про рекламу в информации об игре.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-05-25*

Great time killer I made it to level 49 in December but I cannot beat it no matter what I do. I have upgraded to the max and have a ton of bombs I just cannot beat it. I still play up to level 49 when I’m bored or just watching tv I’m going to try again but 3 people have tried for me including my tween and none of us have gotten it if I don’t make it soon I’ll have to let it go because it’s not fun anymore for me. For all who have made it above I would love to know how please!!

### 1/5 — Level 26

*2023-01-26, version 1.2.3*

Six months later and they haven’t addressed the fact nobody can beat level 26.

I’ve tried every possible strategy including spending tons of boosters…

But it never works.

Game killer.

What a shame.

**Developer response:** Skill issue.

### 4/5 — The greatness of map wars

*2023-01-15*

It is a very good game but it should add sandbox
And many 1 more map

### 1/5 — Difficult and greedy

*2026-07-15*

Why would I watch ads for a game thats barely worth playing? Also, a dev that rage baits his negative reviewers? Huge red flag. Get your priorities straight and stop being so greedy.

### 1/5 — 不要美国

*2026-07-04*

怎么只有美国地图

### 1/5 — 不行

*2025-06-07, version 1.2.3*

怎么都是黄色广告

### 1/5 — Not fun, terrible and not a strategy game

*2024-07-18, version 1.2.3*

This game is definitely not a strategy game and it’s very boring. It’s hard to move your troops around at the same time as the other which makes the bit fun at all. I do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Level 26

*2023-12-25*

Six months later and they haven’t addressed the fact nobody can beat level 49 I’ve tried every possible strategy including spending tons of boosters… But it never works. Game killer. What a shame.

**Developer response:** Skill issue.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2023-06-23*

The first ten levels of the game are fine but once you get to level 11 it gets impossible, first of all, the AIs start with places that have a higher max population so they get stronger faster than you do. second of all, once you get a piece of land you will only have it for at least 10 seconds then the ai will just take it from you and eventually get 3rd partied. 3rd and last of all, the dots move super slowly and always go for the piece of land that is next to them, not the one they’re supposed to go to. Just fix your game difficulty and I would’ve gave this 5 stars. I saw somebody play this and it looked so fun but it’s just very hard.

**Developer response:** My nine year old cousin found it pretty easy. But might make ultra easy mode just for you :)

### 1/5 — This game is terrible

*2023-04-16, version 1.2.3*

It’s too hard for beginners like me and the ai is too fast.

### 1/5 — Boring, not a true strategy game

*2023-04-06, version 1.2.3*

Very slow, the game is unbalanced with some islands having the ability to generate troops at least 3x faster, and encourages you to use “abilities” some are generate troops and nuke islands, however you only get a certain amount, and if you want more you have to pay for more…

### 1/5 — 会自动弹出广告

*2023-02-05*

而且5秒后才能关闭

### 1/5 — 不推荐

*2023-01-29*

作者根本没有任何诚意，这就是一个披着策略游戏外皮的充值游戏，局内效果极差，广告很多，全是人机没有真人，不用道具根本过不去。前几关让你开心开心，后面就开始折磨你。不要下载！浪费时间浪费生命！
