### 1/5 — Nope.

*2026-08-18, version 1.3*

I have spent money and have not received what I bought. Automatic one star.

### 5/5 — Игра

*2026-08-15*

Класс

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-08-10, version 1.3*

Good

### 3/5 — 每日关卡太枯燥了

*2026-08-08, version 1.3*

每日官卡比我上学还枯燥反正我都能百分百打满三星直接给我得了问题是还很浪费时间，应该弄个连续打满10次以后直接给奖励，

### 5/5 — Очень классно!

*2026-08-08*

Игра отличная но перевод местами корявый.

### 5/5 — Great military game

*2026-07-27*

If you’re looking for an easy to pick up turn-based military strategy game, look no further. Straightforward system with troop upgrades and custom maps. Hours of fun.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-26, version 1.3*

This games is fun but what be more fun a Rome game like this

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-07-25, version 1.3*

It’s a great game

### 2/5 — 没有玩下去的欲望了

*2026-07-22, version 1.3*

本来是被diy吸引下载的，现在根本不想玩。因为：
很肝；副本重复度极高打来打去毫无新鲜感；将领越多，将领爆率越低，将领价格越高；征服模式的奖励根本对不上投入的时间和精力；买将领和特殊兵种全看商店刷什么；主线和副本对单位练度和将领等级的要求较大；还有好多缺点没说。不如其它同类游戏。

### 5/5 — Like wc4 but with rng and you can beat it without p2w

*2026-07-17, version 1.3*

The game is great, it’s like wc4 and rng combined, I like the fact how they made it so doable without using money, i would pay money just to donate to the game
