### 4/5 — Too brief

*2024-05-19*

It would be five stars if it was a lot more lengthy. I would pay if it took most of the weekend to go through.

### 4/5 — Really fun but short

*2022-05-15*

The game is great and I would 100% pay money for a game like this and it be WW2 themed. Game has great potential and could be one of the best mobile games

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-03-26*

One session quick adventure. Would recommend to others as I really enjoyed it. It was a good read, I liked the choices and outcomes. The story has great pace, and lots of suspense. Huge bonus for no adds and no payment to finish the story. I wish there was more! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Not as long as the others, still 5 stars.

*2020-04-22*

It’s good, short but promising. It’s awesome.

### 5/5 — More

*2019-12-19*

It a really good game but we need it longer

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2019-04-07*

Shortest story ever!! You should be embarrassed to have on the App Store!!

### 5/5 — A nice little game

*2018-05-09*

This is a story base game based on world war 2.  It’s not a free version of a game, there are no lives, hints, gems, coins, diamonds, or points to buy, it’s totally free to play, if you don’t mind the ads. Enjoy it for what it is, a free game that makes you think.

### 4/5 — A little short... should consist of more raids

*2017-05-04*

Possibly lead your platoon on Tarawa or Iwo Jima

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2016-05-01*

I hoped I would like it, and expected it to be short because it was free, but the writing was to generic like the author was trying to hard to set a tone and there are innumerable grammar mistakes within the first few pages that made it hard to enjoy reading.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2016-03-13*

It's alright
