### 5/5 — Best RTS game on this Store!

*2025-01-16*

This game has always been in my top 5 games on the App Store. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it yet, if you enjoy the RTS Genre or strategy in general you’ll love this game! 3 different factions, one fun story. I hope this developer makes more games!

### 5/5 — Hands down best iOS Strategy game!

*2023-12-02*

Been playing this game for YEARS!  Glad to see that it keeps getting updates, I hope to play this game for a long time!  If you haven’t played it yet you are really missing out!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-05-09*

I’ve played this game for years. It’s a fun little strategy game with decent balance. Thanks to the developer for providing continued support to keep the game going for a few more years.

### 5/5 — Excellent controls

*2019-09-25*

I played this many years ago when I was younger and I just replayed through it and it’s still the best RTS to grace the iOS platform.  I wish more people knew about this game!!!

### 1/5 — LAZY

*2019-05-16*

Stupid idea terrible NO IPDATE IN YEARS
WHY DID I BUST A DOLLAR FOR THIS

### 5/5 — Should be number 1 on the App Store

*2018-08-03*

Best game they have ever created! Excellent and polished game

### 5/5 — Superb

*2018-01-04*

I’ve played this incredible strategy game off and on for several years now. It never gets old. Truly this one of those secret gems of the App Store. So deep, artful, and satisfying. My only request is an update for the resolution of larger-screened iPhones. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2017-07-23*

Back in the day this was the best strategy game on the market.... still is. The art is so jaw dropping you will want to frame your phone. This and Final Fantasy Tactics are all the strategy games you need but grab Blue Attack and Blue Defense as well, you won’t regret it. (shame on me for not writing this earlier)

### 4/5 — Thanks for continuing to update.

*2016-03-02*

Can you fix local multiplayer?
I'm also curious what happened to the green campaign. I was never able to play it and it just disappeared. Hopefully you can add it back in. I might even pay for it if you do. Thanks for the support.

### 5/5 — Awesome RTS

*2016-02-19*

One of the best on iOS.
