When i will hear ,,swords&sandals crusadeeeeer,, i will change to 5 ;). Highly recommended for fans of the series! ### 3/5 — Bugs *2025-01-08* Jogo cheio de bugs ### 4/5 — Best game on mobile *2024-08-28* Swords and sandals crusaders is the best mobile game by far. It combines strategy, luck, Skill, arcade sequences. It is the most like Defender of the Crown Of any game And indeed, it is based off of it. Oh that I wish you would return to the game and develop it further with more storyline. I wish that when you conquered an enemy king you would inherit their lands. Also, I wish that you could buy castles for each territory for your garrison army. When you leave a Garrison army behind in a territory without a castle they get slaughtered. so much so that is not even worth leaving any Army in territories because they always get killed. The reason I love swords and sandals crusader. Is it very much like the game RISK but with everything that risk doesn’t have. I have played a ton of mobile games and this one is the best. It does crash fairly often. Especially on a long conquest battle with eight players. Even with the game crashes, it’s still my favorite game now. I would have given it five stars, but it does crash a bit during gameplay otherwise I would’ve given it five stars. ### 2/5 — disappointed *2024-04-01* i really really like this game but it’s so buggy and has to many was to crash but other than that i love the concept if it would just be fixed i would rate 5 stars ### 3/5 — ehh but good *2024-03-20* okay love the game but in the sense of it freezing there are a few times where it will freeze, failing a retreat check from what i noticed will always freeze my game and i’m on the full version on campaign, other than that really good game ### 3/5 — Dommage *2022-12-02* Un jeu super mais impossible de faire une campagne en entière a cause des freeze ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2022-07-23, version 1.0.7* Sometimes buggy, but i still love the game ### 3/5 — Crashes *2022-06-04, version 1.0.7* Really enjoyed the game although when fighting against other people it always crashes and I can never complete a full game. Really frustrating. ### 3/5 — Too many bugs *2022-05-25* Loved this game as a kid, but: - game frequently breaks -beating back a siege means the map is blacked out the rest of the game -retreating from a battle crashes the game The developer seriously needs to patch his game asap ### 3/5 — Retreat glitch *2022-05-03* Game is fairly fun to play, but every time I retreat from a battle the screen goes black and I can’t see the map. Found this out after I bought the full version of the game. Somewhat disappointed. If by possible fix the glitch and I will give a better rewire. ### 2/5 — Black Screen *2021-09-04* Theres a bug where if you castle gets sieged then your map will go black and the game becomes unplayable. You have to restart that mission completely. Its a shame because i was having fun with this game but it appears this bug is not getting fixed so theres no real point in downloading. ### 4/5 — There’s a small problem *2021-08-18, version 1.0.7* This is an amazing game however there’s a small problem sometimes after a battle the screen will go black and you can’t see a thing I think that can be patched though I don’t know ### 3/5 — Eh *2021-08-07* I would give it 5 stars but after buying the game so I can play your conquer the map setup it freezes/glitches everytime. I’ve tried 5 times over the last two days to play and can say I’m a bit frustrated that after paying for it is when the glitches happened. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — buggy mess *2024-08-27* If the bugs are fixed i will change my rating to 5 stars. I paid for the maximus full version and the game is unplayable buggy mess ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-12-26* Bought the Ultratus version almost immediately cause I loved the game as a kid. The game itself is still excellent, but some bugs are game-breaking. Any time I finish a battle I have a small chance for the map to just disappear. And since you can’t save mid-game, that’s it. I haven’t even been able to get past the 6th mission of the 1st chapter yet because of this. :( ### 1/5 — Black screen!!!! *2023-02-20* I have seen comments a year back that complain about the black screen glitch, unfortunately in 2023 the glitch continues unfortunately I was unaware a purchased the game. Buyer beware do no buy could’ve been a five. ### 1/5 — Wth *2022-04-19* New game. First 2 minutes of “playing” (no tutorial) a fluffy abomination annhilates my 3 man army and I lose the campaign. The download was longer than i played. ### 1/5 — Fixing and rebalancing *2022-03-15* This game need improvement, 1, bring back step fast travel from original version, 2 game become unplayable dull the enenime because far stronger and just throwing magic on you for cruel sake ### 1/5 — Garbage mechanics not worth it *2021-10-18* On auto battle one troop would beat like 30 Calvary at a time which is impossible in any situation even a general I know it’s an old game now and too late to be fixed but what were the devs actually thinking with that??? ### 1/5 — Doesnt make sense *2021-09-12* How does 28 cavalry lose to 1 troop on auto battle? ### 1/5 — Good game with breaking bug *2021-08-12, version 1.0.7* I also purchased the full version of the game and am experiencing the same issue as the other review here (screen goes black after defending siege). While this game is enjoyable this makes playing it difficult as you tend to come under siege often in this game. The issue then leaves you with a choice: play the rest of the game blind or lose. Please fix bugs ### 1/5 — App não abre *2021-07-13* A tela fica preta logo que abre o app e continua assim só, estou usando um iPhone xr ### 1/5 — The ui is broken *2021-05-07, version 1.0.7* Hello there im having a problem with the ui the buttons dont fit in my screen if its in horizontal and if its vertical it gets in my way and blocks me from presing the provinces ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — a custom campaign mode would be beautiful *2025-06-01, version 1.0.7* this game is peak. so sad that this stopped getting updated but whatever. i’ve been doing the conquer the realm mode over and over again, and maybe a custom campaign would be cool, yeah? you’d have sandbox-like capabilities setting up the territories of each faction and their starting armies. once you’re done, just hit a button and you’re in your custom campaign. it is ambitious, so i’d understand why it might seem impossible. kookoo ### 5/5 — Spoko *2023-07-01, version 1.0.7* Fantastyczna gra ( mogłaby być lepsza ) ### 5/5 — Works well *2022-09-19, version 1.0.7* Love the changes from the original ### 5/5 — VERY HARD GAME *2022-02-20* I enjoy the game, although it is EXTREMELY hard. If you need help with levels, join the swords and sandals discord. ### 5/5 — Добавьте русский язык! *2022-02-06* Или хотя бы машинный перевод, игра отличная! ### 5/5 — Issues when playing on iPad *2021-08-31, version 1.0.7* Great to see swords and sandals making a comeback. It’s a great game and fun to play. However, on iPad the map is obscured by the action menu which needs to be fixed. ### 5/5 — Супер *2021-07-31* Буду первым. Игра просто шикарная, есть куда развиваться, но уверен разработчики будут развивать проект! P.S. Игра так сильно понравилась что купил ультра версию в первый день и очень доволен) ### 5/5 — Nothing wrong best *2021-06-27* Beside the fact you have to buy the full game which idc about you can play the main story but other then that, this man and or women is amazing. ### 5/5 — Good but bugs *2021-02-01* After clicking end tournament, the page goes away and it just gets stuck with the castle and country side loadout ### 4/5 — Great game but.. *2025-12-07, version 1.0.7* Such a childhood throwback with this one and being able to have the privilege to touch this game on a pc back in the late 2000’s, so having a chance to play it on mobile it itch that nostalgia. The only let down with this version is the Amount of black screens and freeze’s when transitions from a battle back to the map etc. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
