Es überzeugt mit vielen taktischen Funktionen und Möglichkeiten. ### 1/5 — Terrible on an iPhone *2026-04-14* Ludicrously, they are not smart enough to think of adding zoom. No font size selection. And and it goes downhill from there. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Ma davvero fate?!?! *2026-01-08* Sto gioco è ingiovabile ed incasinato ### 5/5 — Very fun *2025-04-17* An enjoyable RTS game, plenty of units, decent story mode, easy to learn and generally just plain fun, AI opponents can provide a challenge too and the combat is neither too fast or too slow, once you get the units into position anyway as that can take some time, overall I strongly recommend. Edit: game tends to lag after a certain point as the game struggles to handle larger numbers of units, hopefully that gets sorted in future. ### 5/5 — BEST MOBILE GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-04-05* This game is AMAZING! It couples retro graphics and storyline with an amazingly fast gameplay system and ingenious ai opponents! The storyline is phenomenal! The story includes jaw dropping plot twists and nerve racking thrills, as well as hilarious commentary and great cutscene art and writing! While you do have to pay for the sequels I assure you they are VERY much worth it as soon as you get past the first couple of levels! I truly believe that this may very well be the best free if not the best game on the App Store! It truly is a hidden gem! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2024-11-15* Man this game is awesome but it lacks some stuff like sandbox mode where you can test and enjoy the modes but there is so little free modes to explore its all paid and they doesn’t have anything to tell if they are good or not except 2 pictures that isn’t showing anything. And I would like to be able to control the enemy like single player chess man i wish so much for this game. I WOULD LOVE to work with you guys to make this game better, there isn’t games like this on mobile. I appreciate you guys I appreciate your work but please dont give up on this game because its a gem. LOVE ### 5/5 — Very fun *2024-10-13* An enjoyable RTS game, plenty of units, decent story mode, easy to learn and generally just plain fun, AI opponents can provide a challenge too and the combat is neither too fast or too slow, once you get the units into position anyway as that can take some time, overall I strongly recommend. ### 4/5 — It’s really fun to play skirmish *2024-10-13* Price is kinda steep though especially if I can not do any modding on mobile (15pm). ### 5/5 — Un vrai RTS bien soigné *2024-02-27* Un jeu aux petits oignons ### 5/5 — 有点缺陷 *2024-02-08* 体验感不错 唯一缺陷就是路径不能连点 只能点击一次固定行走 不能自由随意点击寻路 ## Frequently asked questions about Retro Commander ### What kind of gameplay does Retro Commander offer?
