It’s too hard. ### 2/5 — 3rd time trying to upload my review *2021-12-22, version 1.0* So this game, seems pretty good from the looks of it, the core gameplay is pretty good, graphics and such. However there is a list of things done wrong here, historically inaccurate, unbalanced factions, and a broken AI that doesn’t even attack your HQ. Let’s get into the details 1. Historically wrong, why? Well let’s talk about D-Day, the allies invaded Normandy beach and eventually took it from the Axis Powers. Well here, in this game, every time you play against the AI, regardless if you chose Americans or Germans, you start inland away from the beach where historically speaking, was held by Germany. The AI, is always going to play as Germans, and it will always spawn on the beach where the Americans should be. If your a WW2 nerd like me, you’ll see what I mean. 2. Unbalanced factions. So, upon playing as Americans and Germans you will notice that the Germans have more units. The Americans have- Rifleman Squad BAR Squad Sniper Jeep Halftrack (solely equipped with the basic HMG, no squad inside or AA attachment) Sherman (basic one) Sherman (equipped with a bigger gun, better at tackling tanks) So, sounds good right? Good choice. Well let’s look at what Germany gets. Rifleman Squad MP40 Squad Sniper Kubelwagon (the clone of the American jeep) Knight’s Cross with MP40s Knight’s Cross with STGs Halftrack (same purpose as American one) Stug iii Panzer IV Tiger Tank (Yes, they left out the famous panther tank) So, now that you see the units, Germany has more units to offer, while the Americans are bound to lose. You see, in a good RTS game, the main problem that must always be solved, is how to balance factions. In this game they have gave the Germans an unfair advantage. How could they fix this? Well they could do a series of things, going from giving the American’s troops and tanks that will even it out, or, you could make American units cheaper or easier to build, give them the number’s advantage while Germany has the firepower advantage, and we will see a even playing ground if you do stats right of each unit. 3. Broken AI. (Or, very predictable, to put it nicer) So after playing 2 games, one with Germany an one with America, I’ve already figured out the basic and broken AI of this game. Here is what they do: Always choose Germany Makes 5 or so infantry squads Send them all in one wave Makes some snipers, I didn’t count how many, sends them in too Makes some kubelwagons and tank buster squads, sends them out. Stops. Might make another single rifleman Squad. Their attack plan: to kill the player’s units. Send army in waves. So what’s the problem here? Well the AI is given no attack order towards your HQ, so you can sit there and save up cash and build units. The AI will never make any tanks, halftracks, MP40 squads, or any version of the Knight’s Cross. The AI basically doesn’t use the German faction to it’s full power and doesn’t keep playing the game after sending in those 3 or so waves. It just stops. This is a major problem because you can’t expect some tiny game like this to have any sort of an online community, you have to start out with a strong gameplay core to keep people playing and to have a well made and dynamic AI to keep people interested in the game. 4. Suggestions (apart from fixing your other problems) It would be nice to see some role for those buildings, be able to garrison them for a range bonus and health bonus. More maps, d-day is only a part of WW2, maybe include some general village skirmish’s or other areas like the Eastern Front Maybe a few more factions, Russia, Britain, ect. Artillery, this was a major thing in WW2, mortars and howitzers. Maybe add in planes, but not that you can control them, just be able to designate a strafing run in an area for a certain amount of cash Fog of War option? AI difficulty option? Units- Grenade ability for infantry? Give the halftrack a Squad inside it that can be unloaded with a button that appears upon selecting it, or, make it be able to load troops in. Tanks, they have machine guns, why don’t you make them use them? - This is all I would say for now about this game. It has serious potential for being one of the few WW2 RTS games on mobile. I give the developer(s) credit for coming up with the game, but it could use some heavy work to make it a popular RTS game on mobile. ### 4/5 — Nice game but could use a few improvements *2021-02-12, version 1.0* So, first off you should use better shaders, maybe take a look through the unity asset store and you’ll find some! 2, you need to make the Americans start on the beach no matter what. 3 maybe use something else besides low Polly. I’ll try to find some links to good packs for you guys soon. Other than all that, it’s a great game! Highly recommended! ### 3/5 — Ehh ok *2020-11-24, version 1.0* Fun but needs the custom game mode but it's ok game but needs to work on things ### 2/5 — Meh *2020-10-30, version 1.0* The game I can say is good the graphics are great but the gameplay Isn’t as good and I don’t like that you can only be USA and Germany what about France uk or Russia.Just saying that this game is to boring, the only good thing is the graphics. ### 3/5 — Has potential but needs fixing *2020-08-31, version 1.0* Controls are hard to use and you can’t guide your troops and you should add it in player vs ai that the ai can have patrols go to different directions. However this game and its concept looks like it could be really fun just improve it and give it a tutorial and people could really like this game ### 3/5 — Sandbox mode *2020-08-21, version 1.0* Make a sandbox mode ### 3/5 — Needs at least a campaign *2020-06-20, version 1.0* This is a very good game but the problem with it is that there is no campaign. Only Ai vs and multiplayer I wish there would be at least a campaign. ### 3/5 — NEEDS A TUTORIAL *2020-06-17, version 1.0* This game is awesome, but it lacks a tutorial. ### 2/5 — Helppppppppp *2020-05-27, version 1.0* I just can’t win a game ### 1/5 — Fix the game *2020-05-06, version 1.0* The game looks cool but the troops are broken I can seen 1,000 troops to 1unit to fight and that 1 unit would kill them all plz fix ### 3/5 — Fix *2020-04-08, version 1.0* Can you fix the halftrack it won't load in ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2022-07-24, version 1.0* There is only one map In the entire game and there is no sandbox. The camera angle is bad and it’s just no fun. Don’t download it gets boring easily. ### 1/5 — No idea on how to control troops *2022-05-04, version 1.0* For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to move people around. On top of that, the controls are either hard to use or clunky. Good idea but frustrating when trying to play. ### 1/5 — Game too hard on the ai *2022-02-13, version 1.0* He’s too powerful ### 1/5 — Dffgsdrf *2021-10-26, version 1.0* ⁉️😡🤬😠👿☠️💀👻😾😤☹️😣😢😭😕😖😔😞😒😟😕😩🥺👎 ### 1/5 — Mal juego *2021-10-23, version 1.0* La dificultad es muy difícil y es muy malo ### 1/5 — Poorly made with little content. *2021-04-24, version 1.0* Poor unit mapping, poor camera control, limited content, ads, and terrible AI make an unplayable game. Glad it’s free though. ### 1/5 — Rommel *2021-02-26, version 1.0* Don’t download, Thank me later. Why? 1. No pause/menu button (can you imagine?) 2. Unplayable, because you cannot upgrade your HQ to a higher level because you simply can’t. No button for it. 3. Only 1 map! 4. No players online... I mean look at the game, it’s broken. Who would play this? ### 1/5 — Army review *2020-12-30, version 1.0* This game has tons of potential but is packed with bugs like not being able to control you army. ### 1/5 — The ai *2020-11-28, version 1.0* The ai has aimbot ### 1/5 — What a bad game *2020-07-23, version 1.0* It is sooooooooooooooo bad, I even feel bad for looking at it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Норм *2023-03-29, version 1.0* Игра лагает немножко но впрочем класс ### 5/5 — Add customization *2022-12-25, version 1.0* Add customization for your soilders please like helmet camo all that stuff uniform camo and color for everything that’s all good game I feel like this would make the game more fun. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-12-18, version 1.0* This is a Gould game allthow it needs a British teem ### 5/5 — Game *2021-09-13* Hi i was just wondering when you finish the first round vs AI could you be able to make that you can keep what you have got for the next round ### 5/5 — More stuff *2021-03-04, version 1.0* You guys need to put more more maps and I campaign mode I will make the game more fun and more countries too but is a good game. ### 5/5 — So good *2021-01-10, version 1.0* Insanely fun but can you add air units and maybe make it so we can build towers? ### 5/5 — Add more *2020-05-27, version 1.0* In this game there should be Aircraft and more factions like japan Soviet Union,Great Britain, France and Italy ### 5/5 — Plz add this *2020-01-14, version 1.0* Deleted it the second I saw the two options Germany or USA where’s Russia and England we did the most ### 5/5 — Just needs some work *2019-11-09, version 1.0* Firstly the camera angle has to change it is really hard to control furthermore I think limiting your game to only one map is really bad as you can get bored really easily and controls g the movement of your men is quite hard to control I think this game has incredible potential but you seem to not see this you should add more viechles and let us use the u boats and air cart etc. I would be pumped to see future updates and would definitely show my friend s ### 5/5 — Don’t stop *2019-10-23, version 1.0* Keep up the good work improve the game and you will get a great review --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
