### 3/5 — Так себе

*2018-11-04*

Отсутствует баланс
Не глубокий геймплей
Управление не очеь

### 4/5 — Best true RTS I could find!

*2018-03-25, version 1.1*

This is a true RTS game. Not one of those free speed up X 50. Or those clash of clans nock offs. It could use some tweaking and a drag to select system but over all it’s pretty good.

### 4/5 — Wow!

*2018-01-23, version 1.1*

I found this game great except for the fact it crashes a lot on iPhone 6s+. But it’s finally a game I enjoy!

### 4/5 — Сделайте рандом мультиплеер!

*2018-01-05*

Мультиплеер не работает( только иос с иосом по приглашению можно играть( а так бы поставил 6 звёзд!

### 4/5 — Limited Content, but Impeccable Quality

*2017-11-20*

I've always been an rts fan, and this is truly a great step for rts games on the App Store. Not only that but it has no ads or in app purchases. I could only ask for more content but quite frankly that isn't necessary. Great game!

Could use some balance

### 5/5 — Greatest RTS 2017

*2017-08-25, version 1.1*

This is seriously the best RTS for iOS and easily the best RTS produced in 2017.

Two critiques:
1. Would like to see permanent floating health bars at all levels.
2. Would like height advantage in terrain. 

Otherwise, this game is flawless.

### 5/5 — A decent follow up to the original.

*2017-08-22, version 1.1*

Not a bad bit of RTS to pass the time.

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2017-08-15*

Но что-то с балансом противников, бывает вылетает или после сворачивания (при возврате) не реагирует на нажатия

### 5/5 — Il miglior gioco di strategia!

*2017-07-29*

Davvero unico! Soldi spesi bene! Un capolavoro!

### 3/5 — Pleased, although not enthused.

*2017-07-02, version 1.1*

Was looking for an app-based game that was similar to Total Annihilation on PC. It seemed to fit the bill pretty well, but is considerably less exciting. 
All in all, it's a fun challenge.

### 4/5 — Wait before you give it a 2 star

*2017-06-14*

I feel that this game needs more content but you must remember that this is version 1.1 aka it just came out of alpha so lots
More is to come soon so just wait a little and it will be worth the money

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2017-06-08, version 1.1*

Wish there was a story mode but its solid for being on mobile.

### 3/5 — Freezes and suicidal AI

*2017-06-06*

When I turn off my phone with a skirmish playing it will ocasional y freeze the game

Also I just lost a game where my troops decided to move where I told them to move and then not shoot at the enemy at all even though they had been doing that before

### 5/5 — RTS!!!

*2017-04-23, version 1.1*

Thank you for developing !  Make more

### 1/5 — An insult to Starcraft

*2019-02-27, version 1.1*

I loved all the Starcraft RTS, and beat them all. I played them more than once. This may initially look like StarCraft but is not even a comparison. The game is terribly balanced. It’s a waste of time and money. Very little to no strategy.

### 1/5 — Баланс

*2018-09-16*

Ув разработчики сделайте баланс игры 50% игры проходишь и дальше всё реально нет баланса полный бред использовал любую тактику Исправте баг игры

### 1/5 — Fun game UNTIL

*2017-10-17, version 1.1*

U realize how broken it really is. 
Don’t NOT buy any games from this dev.
I love RTS games and this is the worst example I’ve ever come across.

### 1/5 — 単調ですぐ飽きる

*2017-08-10*

同じユニット同士なのにゴミクズのように葬り去られる。理不尽すぎ。ゲームのシステムも単調だし、買って損しました。

### 1/5 — Слелайте русский!!!!!!!

*2016-07-05*

Игра русских производителей не поддерживает русский язык :(

### 1/5 — Poor man starcraft ripoff

*2016-06-11*

Even the old, first starcraft, was better than this crap. The units get stuck in the middle of buildings, sometimes you have to micro them one by one, since they cant manage to get out in group. Even for free, this game is bad.

### 1/5 — локализация

*2016-04-16*

Добавите русский язык исправлю оценку.

### 2/5 — Gut aber …

*2021-12-26*

Simple aber gut.
Die Wegfindung der KI ist ein typischen RTS Problem, hier läuft diese sehr gut.
Die eigenen Einheiten beschießen Ziele nach voreingestellten Prioritäten, erst Feindeinheiten / Abwehrtürme, dann Feinernter, dann Gebäude, dass ist top.

Meine Einheiten, ganz gleich ob Boden oder Luft bekämpfen keine Lufteinheiten, kein Plan wieso oder was ich dazu tun muss. Kein Tutorial, keine Anleitung. Ist wahrscheinlich ein Anwendungsfehler

### 2/5 — Could be great, but....

*2017-08-08*

Love the genre and always try out any new games that are out there.  This is fun, I like the simple controls and it makes it a quick one to start with.  However, the developers allow the AI to know too much about the limits and advantages to the game.  The units that the computer controls are comical in the way that they know exactly the distance where they can hit you, but you can't hit them.  The jittering they do just to stay out of range is something a human player could never master.  As for the fog of war, when it comes to the AI there is none, they always know where you are and systematically attack each base you have.  Again, fun game, but disappointing that the developers don't add a more human point of view to the AI.

### 2/5 — Need defensive towers...

*2017-01-10*

Boring, predictable game without them

### 5/5 — First rate RTS game

*2025-07-25, version 1.16*

First, I grew up on the old school RTS games, (Tiberian Sun, StarCraft, Total Annihilation, Dune 2000). 

This MechCom2 (and 3) are a great homage to this lineage. Good challenge and it’s NOT pay to play!

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2024-09-11*

This game is great but I wish it went more in-depth during the tutorial. Very fun and challenging! Worth every penny! I wanted something similar to Halo Wars and bought this and it’s perfect!

### 5/5 — Such fun

*2024-02-24*

No one has done a review for this for ages so I might as well. I’ve had this for years and have picked up all three of these. Very fun and playable and well worth the money. Each one plays enough differently that I still regularly go back to each in the series.

### 5/5 — I let gives me my Starcraft fix while on the go!

*2019-06-21, version 1.1*

So good.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-04-08*

I think this game is great.  It’s basic enough to learn quickly, but has many different units and maps to keep it interesting.  Also, I like that you can play offline.  I do not buy games that I have to have WiFi just to play or pay extra money as the game gets more involved.  This game is a one time cost.  I hope the makers of it, keep making more like this.

### 5/5 — Command & Conquer🎖

*2018-02-27, version 1.1*

Really enjoyable game. Well balanced yet challenging! Recommend

### 5/5 — Klasse

*2018-02-17*

Finde diese mobile Umsetzung von RTS richtig gut gelungen. Ich wünsche mir mehr Spiele wie dieses.

### 5/5 — Спасибо.

*2017-12-13*

Спасибо разработчику очень качественная приятная игра. С стиле duna. Обязательно выпустите 3-ю часть и кружное обновление или игры в данном жанре. Спасибо.

### 5/5 — Well worth the fee

*2017-11-05*

Has provided hours of fun.  Could be a little more sophisticated control wise, hot buttons to assign units to groups, that way you could say have an air attack group, ground defense group, whatever...Still at least a 4.5 star game

### 5/5 — Stupendo

*2017-09-25*

Starcraft su telefono 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
