I decided to try again and same issue. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Waste of time. *2025-09-11, version 3.2.10* Refuses to end turns. You can’t progress. Pointless. ### 1/5 — Randomly can't move units *2025-08-18, version 3.2.10* Works fine for like 3 min, then suddenly I can't move units. I close the app and open again, cycle repeats ### 5/5 — A+ game *2025-07-01* If you liked Panzer General 2 you’ll love this iPhone friendly game!! Note to the dev team, is there a chance of an update with new maps coming out?! Maybe a Pacific Campaign, including Hawaii/Midway. I’d also like to have the chance to have allies as Core units. Thanks for making such a great game! ### 2/5 — Please fix *2025-05-13, version 3.2.10* The game has a lot of issues with current ios. Can’t select anything. Can’t fit the screen. So on ### 1/5 — Non-Functional *2025-04-13, version 3.2.10* The game itself is a masterpiece. I’ve played it since the 90’s and there is no better strategy game. However the app hasn’t been updated in the last 5 years, making it non-functional on today’s iPhone. ### 1/5 — Crash *2024-07-07, version 3.2.10* Crashes on every level. Don’t get. Me wrong, I love this game but when the option to end round disappears and you have to restart it just to have it happen again. No thanks ### 3/5 — no back button *2023-08-28, version 3.2.10* when you go to the help menu, there is no way to leave it. you have to close the app and reopen. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2023-07-10, version 3.2.10* I wish we had more games like these, the amount of units figured in the game, the campaign mechanics, the slow buildup of your army and the economy is really nice only problem is the graphics ### 2/5 — Poorly ported *2023-06-19, version 3.2.10* I was a huge fan of this game on android and was ecstatic to see its on ios aswell. Unfortunately the game refuses to cooperate with my phone. Ive never had this issue on android but even after fixing the resolution to fit, crucial buttons like ending turn, just up and disappear and the resolution resets so that my info bar is half off my screen. I hope you can fix these issues because other then that this is a very well made game with quite alot of content. ## Frequently asked questions about Panzer Marshal ### What kind of game is Panzer Marshal?
