Still play this game a lot! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work on IOS devices *2018-02-18, version 1.1.35* I previously gave this app 5 stars, but now it gets 1 as you can no longer play the game on iOS devices. Please help developer! ### 1/5 — Fix This! *2016-07-12* I love this game and played all the time. However, I just can't take the way crashes. It crashes all the time! I love the game, and that's why he gets one star because it's so frustrating. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — "Happy but frustrated" *2015-10-10* Great Game!! BUT...game shuts off randomly in the middle of a game. This is very frustrating, that's why I had to give it a one star rating. Someone please provide a solution or it's time to delete and try to get my money back. ### 1/5 — BORING!!! *2014-09-27, version 1.1.35* Not worth the Money asked for this Game! ### 1/5 — Mr *2014-03-04* Run away from these thieves! Nothing at all like advertised. This is just a $3 scam company. The whole game takes less than 10 minutes. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-02-10, version 1.0.22* This game is terrible. You cannot view the whole battlefield, because you can only scroll across the screen not zoom. There is no min map to view. You cannot control what your ship targets. Finally, you cannot upgrade your ship or weapons. The camera is fixed to one angle. I deleted the app 2 min of gameplay. I wish I could have my money back. ### 1/5 — Ok game *2012-12-23, version 1.0.13* this game has all the right stuff but there not using it wright its not really a strategy type game. The only thing u do is save up gold and send out a ship u don't control the ship to stop so u can have it at a certain position for defense any were u like and u can't purchase new types of ships or units to set up on islands the game is repetitive. maybe if they made the game more like a fleet control type game then it would be fun but its not a fun game. it's fun for like the first couple of levels then it just gets repetitive. all in all DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. ### 2/5 — Very repetitive, no variety and little actual strategy involved *2019-12-28* This game will certainly entertain for hours however, it is very repetitive and is more akin to a free flash game. The game play is essentially a stripped down tower defense except the player, for some odd reason controls when new ships spawn. The game completely lacks depth and can be beaten with little effort or thought. Additionally, this game is not at all optimized and despite its PS1 era graphics, drains my battery way too fast. No substance, just a time waster. I’d recommend that you don’t buy this game for the reasons listed previously. ### 2/5 — Lost interest in 10min *2013-09-15, version 1.0.22* Graphics are pretty basic. Concept is simple. There is just no depth to the game. If this is this developer's first attempt, good effort but give more thoughts to playability! Maybe it will hold interest of an 8 year old or younger longer but I can not recommend this to anyone who enjoys anything more complicated then, say Tetris. ### 2/5 — Kinda boring *2012-12-25, version 1.0.13* Got old quick. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-06-09* Love this game. A few small ways to make it better though to the developers. A reset button to replay it!!! A ship counter on the screen to let you know how many ships you can create befor you hit max ships. Much more visual seperatations between the military and monetary monaliths. But I go back and replay entire game about every 3 weeks and love it and their other game War showdown ### 5/5 — Deserves more Recognition!!! *2019-03-14* This game is one of my favorite strategy games for my iPad! Don’t know why this isn’t more popular. Please give this a shot ### 5/5 — YES *2018-12-21* Thanks so much for updating this amazing game so i can once again play it, it is so much fun ### 5/5 — Great action / strategy! *2017-05-11* This game is an innovative approach to the action/strategy concept with intriguing gameplay, interesting and varied levels, 5 levels of play, and exciting finales to each level. I definitely recommend it for anyone who's never tried it! ### 5/5 — Great Game 2 *2017-03-21* My 2nd review. Enjoy the game so much, after completing all levels, I deleted the app just to download it again......lol. Absolutely love this game!! ### 5/5 — Loving it *2016-08-13, version 1.1.35* Great game for when you have nothing to do. :) ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2016-05-14* Awesome game to kill the time and I find myself playing it over and over again because every battle is different each time you play it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-04-14* Really fun, simple to understand. Get this and have fun. ### 5/5 — very cool game *2015-02-11* worth the 2bucks as long as they do not follow what ae battleship did. cram user with commercials after paying for game ### 5/5 — Please make a sequel *2014-09-06* This game mechanics is awesome. ! I keep checking for sequel. Please make it :) - ryan --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
