Would be cool to get a big fix ### 3/5 — Razoável *2026-01-27* O jogo é bom porém mesmo fazendo tudo possível parece que ainda há uma desvantagem imensa entre mim e os adversários em questão de defesa, e também há alguns bugs como a tela começa a piscar e mesclar com outros menus do nada, mas o jogo é legal sim. ### 3/5 — Buggy and Abandoned *2025-12-21, version 1.7.8* Tactile Wars had a lot of potential however now it is filled with bugs. For example clicking on start brings up a black screen for forever. ### 5/5 — Bring it back *2025-11-22, version 1.7.8* Hi I’ve been playing your game since I was atleast 4-5 years old and I loved it but I’ve heard that this game has been shut down for years and stuff but i thought it was the best game on my tablet at the time please bring this game back ### 3/5 — This game is a bit bugged but good *2025-09-07, version 1.7.8* I enjoy this game a lot I like the way you can control where your troops go and the formations and even splitting into 2 groups later on but one problem with this game is that i can’t get any coins from other territories that I stole and the only other ways to get coins would be doing achievements or daily missions which takes way too long so it leaves me with 2 things that either this game is p2w or either bugged because progression is going to take very long and it won’t let me progress when I play for like an hour which is sad because this game truly is amazing ### 5/5 — Really good game *2025-08-26, version 1.7.8* This game is amazing it isn’t pay to play it is free ### 5/5 — Trouble loading the game *2025-08-07, version 1.7.8* After clicking start, the game fades to a black screen and doesn’t seem to progress any further than that. ### 4/5 — Anyone here ??? *2025-07-15, version 1.7.8* So you guys gonna do a sequel or what ?? ### 5/5 — Super Game *2025-07-14* Unglaublich gutes Spiel, leider wird es nicht mehr aktualisiert. ### 5/5 — Game is great! *2025-06-11, version 1.7.8* Idk I’m addicted ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t get in *2026-07-27, version 1.7.8* I cannot get into one of my fav childhood games I tried to get into the game after reinstalling this peak of a game but I get stuck after clicking start at the third screen shot of the game start and the third one doesn’t work nothing happens it just stops I hope this somewhat grabs attention to the issue ### 1/5 — Wish it was good *2026-02-01, version 1.7.8* Would be an incredible game, but there’s no reason to play because you either have to constantly spend money or watch ads (which you can’t do in the game anymore) so you have to play for no rewards daily more times than you can even get free rewards which turns the game into an unnecessary miserable grind fest just to be F2P ### 1/5 — Never got to play *2025-12-13, version 1.7.8* I have tried downloading this game for over a decade now on several occasions over that timeframe. I wish I could play it, but it restarts every five seconds and then won’t let me click play. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-11-20, version 1.7.8* The game isn’t starting ### 1/5 — Game doesnt load *2025-11-16, version 1.7.8* Switches between the loading screen and ankama logo back and forth but doesnt actually open the game for me and its not because of external factors ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-11-16, version 1.7.8* it won’t let me past the Start screen. the first time i loaded it up, it walked me through the tutorial. then it crashed and closed. i reopened it and it wouldn’t load after i pressed start. it would just reload the start screen and then freeze. i tried deleting and redownloading and it just did the same thing again. pls fix and ill redownload. ### 1/5 — Podre *2025-08-15* Nao abre ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-07-18, version 1.7.8* Help. I can’t play the game on my iphone 15. It loads to a black screen and that’s it. I’ve added and deleted it multiple times and still just a black screen. ### 1/5 — Can’t even access the game anymore *2025-04-18, version 1.7.8* i haven’t played this game in forever and now when i re download it, it just keeps restarting while trying to recover my old progress. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-04-17, version 1.7.8* Literally your only good game and you’ve abandoned it to make generic RPG’s. It either kicks me out after pressing start, or just stays on a black screen. Disappointed with this game and this studio. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Advice for new players *2026-07-01, version 1.7.8* Now my team I chose was Orang and I’ve been playing for a good bit now and I know one thing and it’s that the game is not that easy but not to hard now if your a new player then I have some advice, one is to make sure to unlock better units and defenses like tank or cannons, two is too not expect ads to save you much at all, third is to tap on the tracker unit commanders in the bubble as soon as possible it takes down the entire unit or squad that tracker is from not matter the size now they will have a flag on them so target the ones at the flag, four is to move around or try surrounding armored units from one direction and move around them it makes sure you don’t lose all your guys at once and gets more men firing, and the last advice I’m going to give is to just have fun don’t stress it to much. Also I know I said Orang it’s what the team is called. ### 5/5 — Many years later *2026-06-13, version 1.7.8* Absolutely still one of the best games I’ve thought about. Such a shame it’s been abandoned when it could’ve been so much more. ### 5/5 — Childhood memories *2026-05-28, version 1.7.8* Peak and underrated game, it should be revived or rebooted. ### 5/5 — I love this *2026-05-15, version 1.7.8* This game I’ve been playing since I was a kid and I still never get bored ### 5/5 — Tactile Wars 2? *2026-05-14, version 1.7.8* Amazing game but sadly it’s shut down… Anyway of reviving it or making a second game? ### 5/5 — Bring it back!!! *2026-03-31, version 1.7.8* Huge potential here lost but not forgotten ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-02-18, version 1.7.8* This game is so good ### 5/5 — Please fix the game crashing 🙏 *2025-12-31, version 1.7.8* I know you’re making another game but the least you guys could do is fix the game crashing please ### 5/5 — Just give us a bug fix PLEASE *2025-12-27, version 1.7.8* It can’t be that hard, I want to spend money on this game. But it’s so buggy and unplayable. ### 5/5 — Ankama Come back *2025-12-05, version 1.7.8* I don’t even know when this game came out but I’ve been playing on and off since it has, but this has me hooked during those periods more than other games of the genre. I’d love to see Ankama come back or maybe even just remaster and re release it. There isn’t exactly as many competitors out now so it probably might do better than the original release. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
