## What is Modern War?

THE FIRST-EVER GRAPHIC MILITARY GAME 

World Domination is now within your grasp! Join a faction and join the fight in Modern War, the
popular combat game where you faceoff against enemies for control of country after country,
until you rule ‘em all.

Taking over the world isn’t for the weak. Build strength in numbers by teaming up with other
players and pooling rewards from individual missions. Then, declare war against rival factions
during monthly three-day World Domination events for the chance to put your name on the
map—literally. Because in Modern War, it’s not enough to want power. You have to take it.

Features:
• Free-to-play MMORPG combat game
• Form a faction with friends and other players
• Fight in monthly LIVE World Domination events
• Attack rivals for control of countries and territories
• Run a command center and build fortifications
• Get elected as a faction “Defense Leader”

Fun and addictive game
Hard to put down once you pick it up
Great game that is always getting better

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-12-30, version 8.0.0*

I have played for a couple years off and on. A year ago for no apparent reason I was moved up to an area where almost all of the players are at 300 to 350. Making it almost impossible to move up in the game. I use to love playing this game but now I seldom play. So beware of this game, don’t waste your time trying it move up.

### 1/5 — Modern war

*2022-12-29, version 8.0.0*

I agree with all the recent bad reviews. This was a fun game years ago but it’s has become boring, repetitive and unfair. Like many early players I invested money only to find it wasted away on unrealistic stats and game play. The developer has found no new options to make this game fun nor to bring those of us who have played for more than 10 years back to regular play. I longer care if o lose in an attack. I only play on occasion and refuse to spend any more money when the developer has no new imagination

### 1/5 — Not what it’s used to be

*2022-10-26, version 8.0.0*

I remember when the bloodthirsty series was one of strongest during its time. I have been with this app for a few years only to take a long break for my studies. I log back in to see that my account has been deleted, years of the grind, friendship, and all around memories: gone. Everything is too op as well. You start of with a couple of units that has like 32 atk and 20something def but suddenly you gotta pay millions of in game currency just for a single unit. Like if everything wasn’t too expensive and too op, I would just do the grind again but it’s not worth it :(

### 1/5 — Nothing has changed

*2022-08-29, version 8.0.0*

Put down the game for over 3 years. Out of curiosity starting playing my old accounts again. Nothing has changed; invisible targets that don’t belong in a given map still abound, mission targets that cannot even be clicked on to complete, no Goals for the upper maps and etc.

### 5/5 — Most fun game

*2021-06-18, version 7.7.1*

Modern war is so fun because you can attack anyone and fight for your country it’s crazy how many units there are too:) fav game ever

### 1/5 — Poor

*2021-03-21, version 7.6.0*

They say that they give you free gold but the gold account doesn’t increase. Sent 3 tickets to them about it and didn’t hear a single thing back. If you where to start this game now, without spending huge amounts of money there is no way you could ever reach the power of most players.

### 1/5 — Good Game Gone Bad

*2020-10-18, version 7.4.1*

I’ve been playing this thing for over 8 years, albeit with an 18 month break in the middle of it. I still play, but I don’t spend money and I don’t bother sending the company complaints about the glitches, slow play, and problems. They don’t fix it anyway so what’s the point.
Back in the early days, it was very exciting and fun, but it has just gone down the tubes. I read some of the other reviews and I was surprised to see that other long-term players were voicing the exact same problems that bother me. And the frustrations about how DECA is following GREE’s footsteps in continuing to screw up the game.
One thing I’ve noted recently is how slow it plays on an iPad. I can barely read the screen on my iPhone (old eyes) so I try to play on my iPad so I can actually see the screen, but there is a 10-25 second delay in certain actions that are critical to competing in the game (attacking other players during World Domination contests, for example). My iPhone responds immediately — hit the attack button, the attack takes place, the result pops up, all in a second or two. When I play the exact same accounts on the iPad, the same attack takes 10-25 seconds, and often it simply hangs up and I have to close it and reopen it.
Used to be a great game, but that was years back. Run away from this turkey if you are a new player.

### 1/5 — Can’t play without paying

*2020-09-15, version 7.4.1*

When you start off it seems like it will be a good game but once you go and attack other people, if they paid a min of $10 there is no way you can win. Energy to do missions runs out too fast and takes a long time to recharge and you don’t have enough gold to recharge it instantly so you’ll have to spend money on it! Overall terrible game

### 5/5 — Game works fine now

*2020-07-12, version 7.3.0*

Played this game for couple of years awhile ago, when Gree was running it. Had to quit, Gree couldn’t /wouldn’t fix bugs.  Recently  I was in App Store, got curious, saw Deca was running it, tried it out and it works fine.  Lost my prior base and had to start over, but seems to work well now

### 5/5 — Making Progress

*2020-06-18, version 7.2.0*

I’ve been playing Modern War for over seven years.  Through Funzio and Gree and now DECA. Although they’re not perfect DECA is making good solid progress. The app is now more stable and enjoyable to play. The biggest improvement I believe is in their 
Tech Support department. Previously response was extremely slow unacceptable even. Under DECA tech support is equal to any I’ve done business with. I encourage you to try Modern 
War you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work DECA.👍
