Only downside is after you buy the game, you still have to buy the campaign, the weekly challenges, and pay to unlock all the “extras”. Personally just find it tacky to have dlc in a mobile game that you have to buy to begin with. ### 2/5 — Several critical issues ruin the gaming experience *2026-08-18, version 1.18.2* Disappointing mobile port with several frustrating issues holding back the experience. First off, the soundtrack feels incomplete. All five base‑game maps reuse the exact same background track. Hearing the same music non‑stop throughout long play sessions quickly gets repetitive and creates serious audio fatigue. It really ruins the unique atmosphere that each separate scenario should have. Secondly, weekly challenges are inaccessible for players based in China. These challenges are the primary way to unlock special DLC advisors. Being locked out of them means we cannot obtain important content that greatly enriches gameplay, putting a large group of players at a disadvantage. On top of that, the pricing for this mobile version is unreasonable. In‑app prices are completely inconsistent with those of the PC edition. I sincerely hope the development team will review and adjust mobile‑store pricing to be fairer. This game has great potential, but these obvious problems stop me from recommending the mobile release right now. ### 4/5 — Offline issues *2026-08-07, version 1.18.2* I’ve found while playing offline that the in-game purchases are not available. I don’t have this issue with Plague inc or After inc, so I’m assuming it’s a bug. Great game, however I’m wondering if this is a known issue? ### 2/5 — Missing a lot *2026-07-29, version 1.18.2* Here guys, we got another example of a company focused on producing average games instead of finishing one ### 5/5 — Rebellions are a plague to the Empirical Body *2026-07-22, version 1.18.2* Loved Plague, Inc. Now this game proves to be just as challenging, with realistic insights into how world politics works. Also, to give an understanding as to why the Middle East is always under constant flux. ### 5/5 — A modern successor to educational kids shows *2026-07-21, version 1.18.2* Between this game and Plague Inc., I am thoroughly impressed with the creative mind and attention to detail showcased by the developer. They take 2 hefty real world scenarios and break them down in a way that is not only logical and realistic, but fun to play. It forces you to think about these in a manner you typically might not, which I believe increases our understanding and perspective on the inner workings behind the matter. I highly recommend both games, and whatever their next project is, I hope to be among the first people to try it out. ### 5/5 — Really cool game *2026-07-20, version 1.18.2* I like that you get to use different units and perks ### 5/5 — My favorite strategy game on mobile *2026-07-20, version 1.18.2* And one of the few strategy games that acknowledge civilian support and pretty good asymmetric warfare ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-07-19, version 1.18.2* Need bigger maps ### 4/5 — An interesting game *2026-07-18, version 1.18.2* I’ve enjoyed the game for a couple of years and I like the great settings of it and the simple way to play.The only problem is that as a Chinese,the simplified Chinese isn’t well-applied and I have to use English and some sophisticated terms which I haven’t learnt yet. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-07-15* This team took a phenomenal foundation from their previous game, spun it into a whole new feel while keeping the core solid. And killed it. Well done. ### 5/5 — Geopolitics and COIN Warfare Simulator *2026-07-13, version 1.18.2* Have you ever thought, “Man, those poor people in Afghanistan, they’re really getting screwed by both the States and the Taliban. I wish I could help them live long and prosper.”? If yes, then this game is for you. This game is not confirmed to be set in Afghanistan, but it seems most likely that it is indeed in Afghanistan. 🇦🇫❤️🇺🇳 ❌🇺🇸❌ ✅🇺🇳✅ ### 4/5 — Хотелось бы графики как на пк *2026-07-12, version 1.18.2* Мне очень симпатизирует эта игра во всех вопросах. Но хотелось бы графику как на пк (в Стиме). А так вопросов нету. Спасибо автору ### 3/5 — Starts Out Fun *2026-07-09, version 1.18.2* Initially it’s a lot of fun. Then the second level feels impossible to beat. I played 5 or so times trying different strategies and failed each time. The feedback wasn’t great after a fail to know what needed to be done differently. I lose interest if I’m playing the same thing over and over again. It would’ve been nice to get progressively harder rather than the first level was fun and passable, the second is REALLY hard to pass. I gave up and deleted the app. ### 5/5 — 2024 *2026-07-06, version 1.18.2* Amazing in depth mobile game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 中文翻译烂透了 *2026-08-29, version 1.18.5* 这一作的中文翻译简直是一坨屎，瘟疫公司和劫后公司的中文都不错，别让烂翻译毁了好游戏 ### 1/5 — App would not load. *2026-08-28, version 1.18.5* I really love this game; had it on my device for years and it’s the one app that I mostly choose to game whenever I had free time. However, what on earth did this new recent update even do to the app? First, there is an issue where I lost some of my permanent in-app purchases while somehow keeping others. I have basically bought the essentials of the game to unlock the full experience, such as unlocking all advisors and unlocking campaign mode for replayability. The only thing I didn’t buy was “download custom scenarios with no cooldown” thing, where the default is that the player gets to download only 2 custom scenarios before having to wait for the next day for the player to download another 2 custom scenarios once again. I tried the “restore purchases” button, but it said there wasn’t anything I can restore, and so I didn’t get all of my in-app purchases I bought back, which was very frustrating for me. And so I decided to delete and reinstall the game to see if that fixes it, but the situation just got even worse! After redownloading the game, I clicked on the app icon, and it just froze at the game’s logo and crashed and kicked me out to my Home Screen. Basically the app is unplayable and I’m really wondering what is even the root cause of this, to which my first thought is to blame the new update because it presented a wide range of problems, where the app was completely fine before the update. Can there be another update to the game to fix this odd problem/glitch ASAP? Or maybe have an update that grants more compatibility with the specific phone model? My phone is an IPhone 13 Pro Max, if you wanted to know. I’ve tried everything such as resetting my phone and the app still freezes and crashes at the start. I really want to change this one star review to a five star one, but this bug is preventing me from doing so. ### 1/5 — Too much tbh *2026-08-18, version 1.18.2* General on black caves MB is purely why I give this one star. I don’t care that’s that niche, I like playing the general. And of all the maps black caves is the hardest to get a win and it’s simply just rng no matter what or how well you do. ### 1/5 — Western military-colonialist propaganda *2026-07-31* This game is literally the Afghanistan Invasion in a positive light. Garbage. ### 1/5 — 1.18.2 简体中文字体错误 *2026-07-27, version 1.18.2* 简体中文有问题，这么久了没人管吗？ ### 1/5 — Shallow *2026-06-21, version 1.18.2* High Score for bloody war; lots and lots of it. Lower score for civilizing and less battle. ### 1/5 — Disappointing and buggy *2026-06-09, version 1.18.2* It’s a disappointing game. And on top of that continually freezes IPhone. Yes new phone latest updates. So this was a quick delete. ### 1/5 — Too many in-game notifications you have to click off *2026-05-26, version 1.18.2* Makes the game totally unplayable ### 1/5 — Sin audio *2026-05-24, version 1.18.2* No tiene audio ### 1/5 — V.1.18.2 中文显示有问题 *2026-05-15, version 1.18.2* 是字体问题吗？好像漏掉许多字 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best simulation for global politics *2026-08-29, version 1.18.5* I played years this game and is one of those games that i need full attention of whats going on ,plus it help me to understand how difficult is to make a country stable ### 5/5 — Круто *2026-08-26, version 1.18.5* Теперь знаю, что нужно делать если ты мятежник ### 5/5 — No issues *2026-08-24, version 1.18.2* Love the game, I used to have it and recently installed it again. I enjoy it more than plague inc. and think it is a good way to get your brain to work harder ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-08-16, version 1.18.2* Fulfils the tinpot dictator in me. ### 5/5 — Join the Empire! *2026-08-15, version 1.18.2* At first I assumed we’d be the bad guys, as in Plague Inc., and so I was pleasantly surprised to be eradicating polio. Still looking for the WMDs, though… ### 5/5 — Well Crafted *2026-08-11* This is the best country simulation game you will ever play. However, the brutal level is impossible to win without advisors I believe. ### 5/5 — Not gonna lie it feels like a president *2026-08-08* Love it 😑👌👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Another banger *2026-08-03, version 1.18.2* A little tricky and no sim is perfect, but a fun job at tackling the kind of issues we as humans run into ### 5/5 — En mi opinión *2026-08-02, version 1.18.2* Un juego entretenido e interesante. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-28, version 1.18.2* It is fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
