### 1/5 — Bad right now

*2025-12-26, version 1.0*

Can’t even play because of ads

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading as it stands

*2025-12-24, version 1.0*

I’ve been waiting for this game to come out on mobile because the PC version is so good but I’ve never been more disappointed. Before I can even play I was bombarded by 3 ads and when I’m finally able to press the play button I get more ads! I probably had to skip like 6 ads before I could even join a lobby and there were still ads cluttering my screen while playing. Knowing the PC web game I would’ve totally payed for a premium version with no ads but this game didn’t even have the option. If you want a game with no ads that’s pretty similar just download territorial.io. Devs, if you release a premium version, I would happily pay the price, but as it stands this version is virtually unplayable.

### 1/5 — Awful for phone

*2025-12-23, version 1.0*

Constant ads, awful user interface.

### 1/5 — Add with every click

*2025-12-23, version 1.0*

Horrible

### 1/5 — Baffling

*2025-12-19*

Been playing this game for a couple weeks with a buddy on PC. Went to download the mobile version cause it’s slightly addictive and holy hell is this app a joke. Am I glad I play on PC cause on my phone it’s impossible to play. For starters the amount of ads before I can even launch a game is ridiculous.. gotta get through 3 ads to even be able to set the game, then get into it about 3-5 mins in and I guess another ad try’s to load but instead it crashes the game brining you back to the start screen.. and then before I can even get back into a new game what do you know another ad. Compared to the PC browser version this is an absolute joke.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2025-12-16*

Game doesn't even work. You click start game, it opens another window, and you can't play any game from there. It's just a mobile ad hotspot

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-12-15, version 1.0*

Unable to play game ads get in the way of actual game functionality therefore it’s lucky it gets 2 stars 
Device IPhone 16 pro MAX

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-14, version 1.0*

Every time I touch my screen it’s a add

### 1/5 — Game is apalling

*2025-12-13*

The amount of ads is crazy, and half of them lead to shady websites that offer crypto and stuff like that. You also quite literally can’t start a game because of the amount of ads.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-11, version 1.0*

Looks amazing but plays terrible ads every Milli second

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-12-11, version 1.0*

Literally can’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Completely unplayable and fake

*2025-12-10*

This is a fake app. It shows you about 4 ads before even entering a match. Once it starts it just takes to an in app web page of the real game. Once in a game it has ads littered around the screen to the point you can’t even play.

### 1/5 — Not real

*2025-12-08, version 1.0*

Pretty sure this is a fake ripoff not the real thing

### 1/5 — Don’t bother to even down load

*2025-12-07*

When you open the game it opens into a ad the when you hit start you get another ad and after you pick your mode and everything you get another ad and when the game finally starts it freezes and you have to do it all over again

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-04*

I downloaded this hoping for a game like openfront for mobile but this is just a waste of time. Ad every time you click on anything and that’s after the 4 ads you get just opening the game.

### 1/5 — Unplayable, just ads, there is no game.

*2025-11-29*

You hit start game after watching three or four ads when you start the app. Then afterwards you hit the start game button and it loads another ad. Game doesn’t start and brings you back to the main menu. And the process repeats.

### 1/5 — horrible app

*2025-11-29*

Terrible app, ads across half the screen, you need to watch and ad to even play the game, and it kicked me out in 4 different SOLO games. Made me completely quit open front entirely and say screw this company.

### 1/5 — What a disgrace

*2026-01-28*

I was playing this game On my work computer and it is addictive so I went to download it on mobile but to my surprise it doesn’t let me play at all even if I watch adds

### 1/5 — Way too many adds and won’t even let me play

*2026-01-25*

Used to play this game on crazy games and it was fun then I found out it moved to its own app and I was exited but downloaded it and it has like 5 adds before you even start your first match then it wouldn’t even let me touch the screen. Please move back to crazy games or fix the app

### 1/5 — Play on PC

*2026-01-22, version 1.0*

I watched a YouTuber play the game and I thought it seems really cool and addictive. So I want to download the game and it’s nothing but ads I can’t even play the game.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-01-20, version 1.0*

Every click is a 30 second add and i couldnt get into a match because it would put me back to the beginning after the add ended

### 1/5 — All Ads.

*2026-01-19*

downloaded and all i got was pop up ads after the main screen, it keeps bombarding me and i can’t play

### 1/5 — Can’t even get into a game

*2026-01-19, version 1.0*

When ever I try and load into an actual game all it does is give me ads

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-13*

I can’t even get into a game it just spams ads then doesn’t even load into a game I can understand adding ads into a game but for the app to only run ads is crazy

### 1/5 — unbelivable

*2026-01-03, version 1.0*

i cannot belive that before i even played one round of the game i got 4 ads and asked twice if they could use my data do not download this game its so buns loaded in and instantly couldnt see my own nation

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-12-31*

1) Literally 4 or 5 ads before playing. 
2) Game kicks you out after starting in like 30 seconds (on iPhone 13), so may be very demanding for older models.
3) Computer version is eons ahead of phone version in this current state.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-12-28, version 1.0*

The number of ads you have to watch before you even get to a menu is overboard and then you have to watch more to actually play a round.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 3/5 — Way too many adds

*2025-11-28, version 1.0*

Every time you push a button you get an add

### 3/5 — Optimize and ads

*2025-11-15*

The ads are honestly atrocious. Multiple ads in the span of 1 minute shouldn’t happen. Also, the game basically opens a window to play the game. Please optimize the game to mobile instead if making me play a browser version. This game is fun on browser but completely unplayable on mobile. Please for the love of god optimize this for mobile gaming

### 3/5 — Meh good

*2025-10-23*

Good game, better than territorial io, but it has hella bugs. Yesterday I was able to play, but now I’m not able to play, it kicks me out mid match… And you can also move the screen up and down mid match, sometimes not being able to place it in play, these two bugs are pretty annoying.

### 3/5 — Quite literally so many ads to the point it is unplayable.

*2025-10-22*

Upon download it seems normal but during the first few seconds you receive an ad, after that and you get off the loading screen you receive another ad, upon pressing play you receive an ad and it kicks you from the game you just joined, at that point you just quit because its not worth it.

From a PC website the app works completely fine according to my boyfriend, but on the mobile app and site it is completely filled with ads, tried this app multiple times throughout the day and it gave the same results each time.
If the ads were, at the very least, limited to one after every match it'd be useable amd fun.

Good game on PC but on phones it just doesnt work, please fix.

### 2/5 — Crashes v often

*2025-12-28, version 1.0*

Can’t get through a single player game cause it crashes and get a “lobby not found” message have finished maybe 1/10 games all other have crashed within 5-10 mins

### 2/5 — Ads make unplayable

*2025-12-18*

This is the most fun game ever. Or at least it was until the owners put ads everywhere and started using AI. I would rather pay for the game then whack these ads

### 2/5 — Ads to get you down

*2025-12-01, version 1.0*

Too many ads before game even starts 3 sets of ads super off putting

### 2/5 — Wayyy to many ads

*2025-11-28, version 1.0*

To many ads, every click is an ad

### 2/5 — You can’t play the game

*2025-11-23*

Ads are crazy don’t even install. I wish there was an option to purchase the pc version is super fun

### 2/5 — be better devs

*2025-11-05, version 1.0*

ads ads ads, half of the time your buttons don’t work. it’s like an unblocked game on your school chromebook
