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. ### 4/5 — Red Conquest *2016-02-18, version 1.1.5* This was one of my favorite RTS titles on the AppStore back when I got my first iPod Touch, and got me into Cat In A Box Games... games... It's great seeing it get updated (even if I can't play it because I'm on iOS 7.1.2) - hopefully this leads to nothing but good things for the developer. I'd love to see more titles in the future, and knowing that I'll be able to play these whenever I finally update my phone isn't horrible either. =oP THANK YOU CAT IN A BOX!!! ### 5/5 — Classic *2016-02-18, version 1.1.5* Hands down best strategy game on the app store ### 5/5 — Fantastic game, well thought out *2015-01-11, version 1.1.4* This is the best RTS game on the App Store, period. Really bummed that it never got the attention it deserves. ### 5/5 — Awsome!! *2014-03-28, version 1.1.4* I can't open rude awakening any help? Please fix !!!! ### 5/5 — Epic! But... *2014-02-21* Needs iPhone 5 optimization... And maybe a choice between landscape view and portrait view ### 5/5 — Handheld Genius *2014-02-11, version 1.1.4* This team has convinced me that I CAN enjoy an rts. The learning curve is worth the effort, and you can become a competent commander within an hour's time. Across all facets—the graphics, control, design, and music—the whole package is just phenominal. ### 5/5 — All time favorite *2014-01-06, version 1.1.4* I love this game so much. Soooo glad you guys are back ### 5/5 — New Review *2013-12-24, version 1.1.4* Coming back to the game, I realize how good this game really is. I have become somewhat experienced in the genre as a Starcraft and LoL player, along with experience in other games of the type, and I realize how amazing this game is. The tactics, the pacing, the build orders, everything about it is absolutely great. The interface is great for anyone, and the graphics are very cool. Well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Thanks for coming back! *2013-12-17, version 1.1.4* Hopefully episode 3 rolls by ;) ### 3/5 — Good game but, *2013-12-15, version 1.1.4* Good game, extremely fun. One glitch needs to be fixed. Whenever I click to start the green campaign it crashes the game. When its fixed it will get 5 stars ### 5/5 — Phenomenal Mobile RTS *2013-12-12, version 1.1.4* Quite literally the best mobile strategy game out there, pretty much the only way I can get my RTS fix when I'm away from my computer. Glad to see y'all are back! ### 5/5 — YESSSS *2013-12-12, version 1.1.4* Welcome back!!! Great update. ### 5/5 — Worthy to be called Starcraft mobile *2013-12-12, version 1.1.4* Yeah I agree with lotto it's basically red is Zerg blue Terran and green Protoss the only flaw with this game is the green race they are way too strong but they have a releatively small supply count but still... There mother ship can pretty much with a carrier and 2 battle ships kill a player ### 5/5 — Stunned and delighted to see an update *2013-12-12* One of the earliest, most fantastic, and outright imaginative / bonkers / complex RTS games I came across on ios. Strategic fleet management with all sorts of oddities. This has lived on my various devices since... goodness knows when. One of VERY few apps to survive multiple changes of iPod / iPhone and iPad! Really wasn't expecting an update to an app that hasn't - imu - coasted the best sellers for quite some months / years, so to see the devs still putting in some work is phenomenal! I know what I'll be doing on this morning's commute..... ### 5/5 — Welcome back! *2013-12-12, version 1.1.4* Glad to see an update in so long! This is one of those apps that will never leave my phone. A rare RTS gem indeed. Everything about it feels 'right' once you get the hang of the controls. Hopefully we get to see widescreen support in the near future! ### 5/5 — YEEEAAAH! *2013-12-12, version 1.1.4* You guys are back!? This is incredible! Yes! Amazing! ### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟ONLINE GAMERS here!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *2013-08-24, version 1.1.3* if you want to find people to play with online go DOWNLOAD the app palringo and join the group "Red Conquest" we will coordinate games and prizes for top players!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — LAZY *2019-05-16* Stupid idea terrible NO IPDATE IN YEARS WHY DID I BUST A DOLLAR FOR THIS ### 1/5 — Hammer Game aber .. *2013-02-13* toter Support ... ### 1/5 — stürzt ab *2011-10-07* das spiel stürzt immer nach ein par minuten ab. hab den ipod 4 mit neuster firmware ### 1/5 — Trop complexe pour être un "jeu", même pour amateurs du genre... *2011-08-08* A trop vouloir créer un univers complexe "à soi", les règles et commandes en sont trop peu intuitives, donnant un côté fastidieux qui fait sérieusement chuter l'indice de fun... L'apprentissage est long car en anglais certes simple mais surtout peu clair, pour un résultat toujours pas enthousiasmant après plus d'1h30 dessus... Désolé mais c'est trop pour moi, pourtant a priori amateur du genre, avant même de prendre un chouia de plaisir : Je jette l'éponge. Peut être un tutoriel plus sympa et didactique aurait-il mieux ouvert à l'univers de ce jeu ? ### 1/5 — Crashes too often on current iOS *2011-01-19* As the other guys say below, the game seems cool but crashes too much to be playable on current iOS, even after reinstalling is still crashes. Obviously the dev has a new update coming and hopefully that will fix the issues, I'd say wait till the bugs are fixed before you download. I was just keen to get a 1/2 decent RTS on iOS but looks like I'll have to wait for the update before I can play it. ### 1/5 — Fix this bug!! *2010-11-29* From what I could play of this game between the frequent crashes on ios4 it seemed like an awesome game. Unfortunately the crashes do make it unplayable. Sorry for 1 star but I'm not giving a game any more than 1 when I can only play it for 2 minutes top between crashes. ### 1/5 — too complicated for casual gaming *2010-11-05* blue attack and blue defense were simple and elegant. this game is neither. ### 1/5 — Am I missing something? *2010-01-14* This game blows. Sorry maybe I'm missing something since the last 5 reviews are like books about how great the game is. ### 2/5 — No *2014-10-02* This may be a good game, but the barriers to entry for me are the confusing-as-hell controls & menus. I just can't get into it properly... Which makes for a frustrating experience as I parted with money to find this out. ### 2/5 — Really fun but crashes a lot! *2011-08-03, version 1.1.3* I enjoy playing this a lot. Campaign storyline is a little rough but still fun to follow. My biggest peeve with this game is the crashing. I'm stuck on a level right now because it crashes everytime I get to the end. Needless to say a little frustrating. Besides this one level, it crashes about once a game/level on average for me, definitely sub-par and an issue that needs to be addressed! Fix and I'll be happy to change my review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!!! ### 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) ### 5/5 — Awesome RTS *2016-02-19* One of the best on iOS. ### 5/5 — The best *2016-02-18, version 1.1.5* This is the best RTS on the appstore (subject to opinion of course.) I would gladly pay for the next episode of the game. ### 5/5 — Very impressed with the developers dedication *2016-02-18, version 1.1.5* This is a classic game, one of the first ones out when iOS was just an infant. The fact that this was updated to be compatible with iOS 9 is amazing. I'd give 6 stars if it utilized all the screen real estate on the iPhone 6+. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
