The battles are fun but it’s painful. The epic and legendary unit cards never drop from boxes so I’m going up against people with better armies AND higher leveled troops. Crates take a minimum of 3 hours to open for some trashy common cards! The PvE mode is completely broken as they have max class command cards like poison gas while I’m stuck with meek it’s. In short: 2.3 stars out of 10 too pay2win. ### 4/5 — Very solid game *2019-07-30, version 1.6.2* Much like games of this type but it seems you get more of the top level game currency with more ways to play then most others. But my one complaint would be at the start of pvp a longer look at your opponent and stats it’s a small thing I know but it might influence my battle plan. So as far as a complaint it’s small but all info helps when playing any game. Only been playing a short while other things may pop up later but that’s all so far. Like the game very much as well as any games of type. Update review. This took longer to get to the point in game where I can’t compete without spending huge amounts of money. I’m winning most battles but I lose one here one there in campaign part it took me awhile to finish but I did finish. I get to level 20 can’t win any match. I’ve been leveling up players buying Ruby’s buying cash and not only am I losing I can’t produce players fast enough to even get in the red circle. As I approach the red circle the my opponent has multiple tanks multiple artillery dropping bomb after bomb in a very short amount of time. The part of this type game that confuses me is how the points for producing units seems to be different and especially in this game I don’t see how to increase production of those units but opponents are constantly producing high number units. I tried a few things but I think the bomber is the best example. The bomber is 7 units I wait at the start to get enough of those units to produce a bomber while also deploying regular units, by time I have enough units for bomber and I’ve not used bomb or mines I’m surrounded by multiple tanks bombs are dropped almost constantly. I still really like this game but the brick wall I hit seems nearly impossible to get past without spending a lot of money and if didn’t want to eat I would love to keep going. I have zero problem with any game developer who charges whatever they want for a very good product and this is a very good product so this is not a complaint it’s just an observation. Nitro makes good games and when ever I see a Nitro game I won’t hesitate in downloading it. ### 4/5 — Great for a while, gets boring once you find the right deck *2019-01-01* Really fun game for a couple of months, but I’ve been using the same deck for a while now and am at 643 wins/21 losses, and the ones who beat me are higher level mirrors of my own deck. With that uneven a ratio, there are obviously balance issues. Super fun for a while though, and if you keep experimenting instead of sticking with one winning deck, it’ll last even longer. Overall a really fun game. ### 4/5 — Love it *2018-12-29, version 1.6.1* Love it ### 2/5 — Game crash *2018-11-07* This game would b better if I hadn’t spent money on it because it crashes all the time and it’s not my phone. Fix the stupid game so your not stealing money for a game that don’t work. **Developer response:** Hello Commander! We're terribly sorry to hear that the game keeps crashing on you. We will forward your message to the dev team and hope they can investigate the issue. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate any and all feedback we can get. Have a great day Commander. ### 3/5 — Nice upgrade. *2018-10-29* The latest update looks good, nice changes. Now, if only I could play a battle without the app shutting down. **Developer response:** Hello Commander! We're glad that the changes have been to your liking! We're terribly sorry that the game hasn't been performing quite as well. However, we are working on fixing the game and hope to have an update available as soon as possible. Thank you so much for contacting us, we appreciate all the feedback we get :) Have a great day Commander! ### 3/5 — Crashes *2018-10-28, version 1.6* After the current update, the game crashes mid fight. ### 3/5 — New update *2018-10-27, version 1.6* An upgrade pre update was 4,000 gold. After the update it is 40,000. This is obviously a mistake. ### 3/5 — Unfair *2018-10-06* Going up against players that have level 12 cards when you have level five and six. Can you tell me how that’s fair? They should have the decks looked at when submitted and match them with another with the same level maybe like a league. **Developer response:** Hey and thanks for the valuable feedback! I'm sorry it took a while to answer but I wanted to make sure you know that we did really listen and the last couple updates modified the game a lot due to the feedback got from players! The latest​ thing we did was lower the prices and I promise there is something new coming up very soon! I hope to hear how you like the game now and if there is anything we could do better :) ### 3/5 — Alright, but buggy *2018-08-11* For example, when I went to change my name, game took like all 850 of my gems, instead of only 500, and then when I went to collect achievements to get like at least 200 more gems, I “collected” the achievement, but received no gems **Developer response:** Thank you, Commander, for reporting this in! We will definitely​ fix this asap and our support is more than happy to compensate the lost rubies! Please send us a message to support@nitrogames.com ### 3/5 — I really like playing *2018-05-27* I would give more stars, but there is an accomplishment I achieved and the game wouldn’t let me get it. That’s really frustrating. I’ll give more stars once that issue is addressed. Also a lot of times I am matched to fight someone that is way higher in level than I am, I think there should be a way where you can combat guys that are the same level as you are. That game is no fun if you keep losing to stronger players. This is all I have for now thank you. **Developer response:** Greetings, Commander! Thank you for taking time to write to us! We are happy to tell that the next major update is right around the corner and should help with some of the achievement issues and with many other performance-related things as well as balancing. What comes to the levels, they actually do not effect on the matchmaking, but the PVP rank and medals do. This is something we recognize we have not stated clear enough and are working on it! Levels mainly tell how long the player has been in the game so we really want to highlight the rights things for the matchmaking in the near future! ### 3/5 — Need more *2018-04-19* Can’t upgrade anything because it takes forever to earn enough coins ### 4/5 — Very fun... when it works *2018-04-15* The game suffers from freezes and crashes. Still unstable, fun enough to put up with freezes, I suspect a lot of the issues are iOS **Developer response:** Greetigs Commander! It might take few hours before it shows up in the store for every region but by now everyone should be able to join to the battlefield! Go give it a try and let us know how you felt about it! :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ryder *2025-06-25, version 1.6.4* It keeps kicking me out😡 ### 1/5 — Hate it *2020-05-26, version 1.6.2* It never starts up ### 1/5 — New update *2019-05-04, version 1.6.2* Congratulations! Your new update keeps crashing like a NASCAR race run by alcoholics! ### 1/5 — Got the crappy deck *2019-02-11, version 1.6.1* When I first started playing I knew I was gonna have a crap deck and I thought I was gonna get a better deck but I never got a better deck ### 1/5 — Froze *2019-01-30, version 1.6.1* Got the first box opened it and it just froze can’t do anything now keeps saying click to open but nothing is there ### 1/5 — Crap *2018-10-26, version 1.6* After the Major update crashes all the time during a Mach don’t waste your time until fix ### 1/5 — Junk was good now can’t open *2018-09-20, version 1.5.40* Spent probly $1000 on this game and now it won’t even open scam give me my money back Itune won’t give money back either thanks for the scam ### 1/5 — AWESOME!! Best game I have! *2018-08-21* Probably the most addictive game I have on my phone. For some me reason it is stuck on ACT 4. I beat the Rat King and it will not go any further. Am I missing something here, or doing something wrong? Update: 3 games in a row it froze and shut down! I would give it 10 stars if possible but the lag and continuous resets drive me nuts, especially when you are 2 minutes into the game! Update: 20AUG18. Game keeps on resetting and attempting to give me the 5000 gold for playing motorcycle 30 times. I can get past the main screen without the game trying to make me collect the 5000 gold. It’s driving me a little nuts! **Developer response:** Hi, and than you for your message! The act 4 is our last story mode level for now. I will definitely pass your feedback on to our dev department! ### 1/5 — Pretty Good...Or So I Thought *2018-06-04* Honestly I thought this was a good game at first, but now after playing this game for a while I can see so many flaws. So, so many flaws. There is hardly any balance with some units, combining Commands results in easy wins, and Officers have unfair boosts. The way everything is designed, you guys can’t fix it with a simple nerf/buff because if you do that it completely throws everything off. At this point, an entire rework of every unit, Command, and Officer is required to balance the game. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to write us a review and feedback, Commander! Highly appreciated and a ​note about Maverick is taken to the team to think about :) Next major update will include some balancing as well, let's see what we can come up with! ### 1/5 — Glitches *2018-05-11* I downloaded the game and it was working well until I finished the training and then it crashes, won’t let me do anything it only shows a pointing hand to the empty slot on the screen Players name : wolfhound1978 **Developer response:** Greetings, Commander! Oh my, well that surely should not happen and our support is more than happy to fix this for you! Could you please send us your player name so we can get it up and running with some compensation: support@nitrogames.com ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fix *2018-10-27* I updated my game and it keeps glitching I couldn’t find out to contact y’all any other way lol #PlzFix **Developer response:** Good day Commander! We're sorry to hear the game isn't working properly after the update. However, we are currently working on fixes and will hopefully have them online asap. We also provide a support page from within our game (Open the cogwheel in the main menu, then click on support), so if you're having other trouble with the game, please don't hesitate to contact us through there. Have a great day Commander! ### 5/5 — Great *2018-10-26, version 1.6* Great game, easy quick battles. Epic fun ! But there is no way to contact the makers. ### 5/5 — Medal of war *2018-09-06, version 1.5.40* Is a very nice app once you get the hang of the game and how to play ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-08-28, version 1.5.40* Fun ### 5/5 — Fun to try to get to heiest rank and cool cards *2018-07-15* I was always doing battles to get to the next stage and get new and cool cards See what’s next I always want to see what more cards do and want to get more so it makes you wanna play so much and it’s so fun that you play it every day Evan though **Developer response:** We are so happy to hear this! :) There will more great stuff coming out soon with the next update! ;) ### 5/5 — Still love the game and Flower Adams 😘 *2018-04-21* Just had to say, Everyone keeps saying it’s a “pay to play” game. I rarely spend money on this game and still rarely lose. (Won: 198, Lost: 11) They give you the ability to get free gems and cards just by watching a few ads. So quit complaining! 👍 And keep an eye out for me on the battlefield 😉 Rydah And to the girl playing Flower Adams, marry me?! 😁🙃 **Developer response:** Oh my, thank you for your lovely words, Commander! I am rather flattered by​ this amazing compliment. My love belongs to Ms. Flamethrower - but you, my beloved Commander, will always have a piece of my heart. ❤️ I wish you to have victorious battles, and feel free to send us any feedback you might have. Yours truly, Flower Adams. ### 5/5 — Best new game! *2018-04-13, version 1.4.5* Great game! ### 5/5 — Addictive game *2018-04-13, version 1.4.3* Love the new challenges!! ### 5/5 — Great game. *2018-03-24* For a free game this is very well done. The graphics and animation is top notch, everything looks smooth and refined. At worst lag does happen and matchmaking can take a bit due to smaller player base. Gameplay is fast paced and very fun and the cards overall feel very balanced. There is a bias towards infantry due to how strong the bazooka unit against the tanks. Other units are essentially useless because of how easy it is to counter them for easy value, like the sniper for example. Other than that, decks tend to be very varied and there isn’t a meta that players stick too. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to write us feedback and review, commander! It is highly appreciated. We have all sort of great features and plots planned for the game, hope to hear your thoughts​ in the future too! :) ### 5/5 — Really nice game *2018-03-12, version 1.4* I enjoy a lot, keep going dev. <3 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
