I find myself craving for the next level. I want my interest back. I need it for other stuff, like… life and… work, I guess… ⭐️ Five stars! ⭐️ Since iOS 18, the game crashes every time the AI opponent tries to use the taunt ability. It works fine when the player uses it in the early levels, where the AI never does. Also, VS Local has never worked for me, even before iOS 18. Trying to find opponents via Bluetooth never showed anyone, even when I tried to play with my brother in the same room with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on for both devices. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-11-03, version 15.4* Simple game, but balanced and fun. No ads, no micro transactions Great Dev. Has a ton of other awesome games, check them out! ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2024-05-16* I expected to be mildly interested in this RTS, and here I am, totally hooked. I find myself craving for the next level. I want my interest back. I need it for other stuff, like… life and… work, I guess… ⭐️ Five stars! ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2024-05-09, version 15.4* Great way to pass the time. I can’t help but sink hours into this guys games ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2024-04-28, version 15.4* MIRTS is a great game. Simple, yet hours of pure entertainment. I only wish it had a dark mode for playing at night. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-04-13, version 15.4* Fun game without ads ### 5/5 — Great job! *2024-03-22, version 15.4* I love it! Fun to play when on the plane ### 5/5 — Killer Ad FREE game *2024-01-17* This games long term replay ability is outstanding. 22 different levels not counting the random map. The random map has 4 speed levels, and 4 supply level settings you can set. Once you mastered all the paid levels, the random map offer a different challenge each time. I like to get outside the games definition of winning by victories and set my own goals. Win with a certain number of dots in each circle. Win with all dots in a circle. Win by enemy nuke. Win without nukes, or taunts. Win without either nukes or taunts. Win then lose in single game. Win then draw in the same game. Force a draw. Force a draw within the time limit. Or go for the ultimate and lose first, win, and finally draw. All within one game AND within the time limit. Pics or it didn’t happen. ### 5/5 — Slimmed down perfectly *2023-12-25, version 15.4* No fat on the bones ### 5/5 — Engancha, pero no mucho. *2023-11-28, version 15.4* Lo esencial en un juego RTS (Real Time Strategy): hay que planificar dependiendo de la geometría de cada escenario y aprovechar los momentos de debilidad para arrinconarse y recuperarse. ### 5/5 — Solid mobile strat game *2023-09-27, version 15.4* Friend punched me in the face til I picked up this game. Solid rec, I have enjoyed playing it so far. Well designed and simple but with lots of room for different strategies. ### 5/5 — Always hated mobile games *2023-07-29* This dev is the goat - finally a cool af mobile game ### 5/5 — Awesome no ads *2023-01-23, version 15.4* Phenomenal game all of the games by this developer are great ### 5/5 — Superb *2022-12-14* How is this so addictive but the graphics so basic? ### 5/5 — Completely engaged *2022-12-13, version 15.4* Good luck stopping ### 5/5 — I like it. *2022-10-09, version 15.4* Initial size up of the field is everything. Great game, intuitive, but challenging. Mildly interesting. What’s an ADM? ### 5/5 — Love for RTS *2022-10-07* You can tell the developer has a love for RTS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Thoughtless *2023-08-06, version 15.4* Somehow the game’s name is an overstatement. RNG focused, not strategy. ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-07-18, version 15.1* This game is to hard can’t even play I’d give it 0 if I could ### 2/5 — Game crashes *2025-01-29, version 15.4* Game crashes now on random maps as soon as the taunt timer runs out. Also please get rid of the map timer. Let the maps run their course. ### 2/5 — Computer has too much of an advantage *2024-06-22, version 15.4* Looks like the computer is able to control all its dots at once. That plus the computer will always know how many dots it has in each node at all times. A bit too much of an advantage for it to be enjoyable. ### 2/5 — Maybe I’m just too dumb? *2022-02-14, version 15.1* I played another game by this developer, Noble, which was beautiful and well executed. This game however… am I just too stupid to get it? I can’t find a tutorial anywhere and I don’t know how I’m supposed to play it. ### 3/5 — Remove timer please!!!! *2021-04-20, version 15.1* Great game that I’ve spent tons of time playing. However the master timer will often cut out before the game can reach its competition and a winner is decided based on territory owned. I wish that the timer would be removed so that on the bigger maps the game can reach its completion without being ended early. I would prefer to either be wiped off the map or be allowed to the same. ### 3/5 — Can't play *2019-06-13* Hi I really like a dark room and the Ensign they are both extremely good games and I really want to play this one but it is not accessible to voice-over so if you could do that I would love this game so please do it I would love to play this game using accessibility features so please make it compatible with voice-over ### 3/5 — Simple and fun *2019-04-05* The main concept of the game is simple and I do enjoy it. However I’m only giving it three stars because I feel their should be an explanation on what certain items do, such as supplies or the taunt button. The other reason for my three star rating is that my husband and I have yet to be able to join and play a game together, though we’ve tried. A dark room and the Ensign were great games. 5 stars. This one needs a little more to get there. ### 3/5 — Needs more instructions *2017-04-17, version 8.2* Seems a good game in all, good graphics and runs well but next update needs more clearer instructions :) ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2021-03-22* The game is great. It’s very simple, but there’s a lot of depth to the strategy. The AI is very challenging, but aggressive, making games challenging but fair. Veteran Content would be 100% worth it, in my opinion, if it weren’t for two problems: 1: Getting Veteran means you will always play with the extra powers; you can’t turn them off. My suggestion would be an option, at least on free maps, to turn it off for the match. 2: You can only play against other players with Veteran. My suggestion would be that the match would simply be on normal mode. Other than that, the game is absolutely flawless. My only other suggestion would to maybe add a level maker of some kind, but I can understand that taking a lot of effort and time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-20, version 26.0* Isn’t the type of RTS I like but is otherwise a great game with no ads or microtransactions ### 5/5 — Best $0.99 I Ever Spent *2025-12-24, version 15.4* TV commercials? I pull out this game. In line at the DMV? I pull out this game. On the toilet? I pull out this game. Bored with nothing to do? I play this game. The first video game I ever played was Warcraft 2. I played it, and I was good at it, before I could even read. Some of my fondest memories of my dad are sitting next to him as he played through Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 2 when they came out. Even now, Reign of Chaos is one of my favorite games of all time. I love RTS games, even if I suck at Tides of Darkness, Brood War, and Frozen Throne. And this scratches a very similar itch. Now, this is not on the same level of depth and complexity as Starcraft. or Age of Empires. or Warhammer. or Command & Conquer. or even Halo Wars. It plays more like a pocket sized Risk with a Final Fantasy 7 style active time system. But simple doesn’t mean bad. Far from it. If anything, the developer (who I was already a huge fan of thanks to the likes of The Ensign and A Dark Room, which are also very simple yet masterworks) absolutely knocked the concept out of the park. There are a few detrimental aspects. Visual glitches, odd control choices, the occasional hard crash when the random map spawns in a piece of impossible geometry, some unearned victory conditions, AI exploits up the wazoo, and sometimes the random maps are literally mathematically unwinnable. But for a dollar, dude, these are but petty grievances. The longevity alone of this game makes it worth the purchase, and if I could give it another dollar I would. Amir, you knocked this one out of the park. ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-14* Edit: On iOS 26.1, the app does crash anymore when the opponent uses the taunt ability. Hooray! — I expected to be mildly interested in this RTS, and here I am, totally hooked. I find myself craving for the next level. I want my interest back.

I’ve played it an hour every day for the past 4 years. However, since I upgraded my phone, it doesn’t work anymore. ### 5/5 — Simple and awesome always beats perfect graphics with zero game play *2025-10-24, version 15.4* Great work! Thank you and keep it coming. Please try to make strategy games on major battle events like Julius Ceasear, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon. ### 5/5 — Needs update *2025-09-16, version 15.4* Great game! Please continue to update for latest iOS ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-08-02, version 15.4* Nice way to focus for brief bursts ### 5/5 — Top notch *2025-05-12* Great gameplay, enjoy the minimalist and clean interface. No ads or pay to win is refreshing. ### 5/5 — :( it’s so fun but… *2025-03-29* Thank you for creating such a fun game! I enjoyed it so much that I even made a purchase to keep playing. However, there’s an issue I’d like to report. When I play on the 1-star difficulty level, the game crashes in the middle of gameplay. I haven’t tried every 1-star level, but at least three of them have caused crashes. This happens on all of my devices, including my iPad Air 4 and iPhone 11. I don’t think it’s a memory or RAM issue, because the game runs fine even after long sessions on the previous difficulty levels. I really hope this can be fixed—because the game is honestly so much fun! :) ### 5/5 — Real quality over quantity *2025-02-17* No padding for time, no unnecessary content. Satisfying to play and learn the optimal strategy for each of the 9 maps. Surprising amount of depth. I wish you could make the games have no timer as it’s fun to play around with a winning hand. Thank you for the lack of ads! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
