No gripes with the graphics, dull story mode but decent gacha system with basic base management, large clans share a map within servers and fight it out with engaging events, items, abilities relating to your gacha units, and cross player interactions. The game really wants your money. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-06-23, version 1.502.27* It’s a fun game to kill time but it is p2w game tho, just be aware of that. ### 2/5 — Decent, but won’t let me click things *2026-06-06, version 1.499 24* It keeps freezing on my iPad when I tap… ### 4/5 — Alert *2026-06-01, version 1.497 22* Everyone seems to get scouted from discord from a “girl” either claiming to have found the wrong person and other nonsense, that recruiter will dm you and encourage you to make purchases once you’ve done so and did it over a few times you’ll notice they have quit and restarted a new server and doing this on repeat… only thing I’m not liking is the back story and lies that go with it you can clearly tell something is off especially after talking to various other players in game everyone has been introduced the same way “accidentally”found the wrong person but get probed of questions an eventually invited in, BUT THE GAME is actually pretty fun just needs more active players and it could be something. ### 3/5 — GREAT *2026-05-27, version 1.497 22* Honestly addicting and has my full attention! ### 4/5 — Fun game. *2026-05-13, version 1.497 22* Haven’t spent any money yet. Fun game lots to do and lots of learning. Join an ally it will make things much easier. ### 4/5 — good game *2026-04-08, version 1.496 21* it’s a good distraction game even though sometimes I have no idea what the chat boxes say ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-02-04, version 1.495* Still getting used to the game but it seems very promising 👌🏾 ### 4/5 — My opinion on the game *2026-01-28, version 1.495* This game is honestly very fun, and that is coming from someone who doesn’t play survival games often. The game doesn’t crash, it has amazing mechanics and gameplay, and overall it’s really good quality too! 9.5/10, would highly recommend to my friends! ### 1/5 — Discord scam *2026-01-22, version 1.495* They will add you in discord pretending they’re looking for someone, they’ll then pressure you to purchase premium currency for real money ### 3/5 — Nice *2026-01-17, version 1.495* My new friend wanted me to play and it’s fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Acct ban *2026-06-18, version 1.502.27* What have I been banned for never even played it yet ### 1/5 — Ai girl thinks she can scam people *2026-05-22, version 1.497 22* If y’all playing this it’s probably because of the girl on discord of y’all falling for her scams y’all dumb she’s ai bty report her so she gets banned from discord she starts cursing you out when you say something bad to her like calling her names her name is refostarlight bty ### 1/5 — Devs ruined *2026-04-22, version 1.496 21* Promoters and Devs ruined this game for me.. ### 1/5 — Bunk *2026-04-18, version 1.496 21* Bunk ### 1/5 — WTH did I play *2026-04-01, version 1.496 21* I see McDonald ordered with more of a budget then this game ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-09, version 1.496 21* Someone on discord got me to play this game. Got bored in less than 5 mins it just seems like the same old slop thrown together. I read another review and it said they’d try to make you spend money on the game. Wild. But anyway. Toots Ma Goots. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-02* Basically, there have been random accounts adding people in discord and pretending to be their “friends,” recommending that they play this game. They will act like they’re forming an alliance with you and offering to “help,” but all they really want is to pressure you into spending money and potentially steal information that shouldn’t be taken. Please make sure to always check the reviews, especially when a game doesn’t have many ratings. ### 1/5 — Scam game *2026-02-26* Somebody on discord will add you, want you to be in alliance. Don’t get scammed kids - also report this app ### 1/5 — No *2026-02-11, version 1.495* Its a gatcha game ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2026-02-05* Beware not only does this game suck they collect private information that should not be collected. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game of the year *2026-06-10, version 1.499 24* This is best game of the year. Exciting and great strategy plot. ### 5/5 — good *2026-04-08, version 1.496 21* good ### 5/5 — it’s great *2026-03-12, version 1.496 21* CHINESE WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN AMERICAN WOMEN ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended - My experience *2026-03-09, version 1.496 21* When I was recommended this game, my first thought was that it would be poorly designed such as many other strategy games. However, when I began playing, I quickly realized how detailed and well thought out the game’s design was developed. There are many great features such as joining Alliances, Solo Explorations, Daily Events, and great quality Executives that you may obtain and level up. This game is a bit on the pricier side if you intend to invest real money in building your base. However, it is possible to build as a free-to-play, player if you are consistent with completing the daily tasks and alliance missions. Overall, my experience with this game has been unmatched by any other strategic games. I would highly recommend this game if you enjoy strategy games with in-game competition. ### 5/5 — Pay2win? *2026-03-09, version 1.496 21* I haven’t paid at all if you join a ally you can get help from people in your ally and do quest that are in the ally menu to get diamonds over all the game is pretty fair about not being a pay2win and pay2play game paying just speeds up your power and base by a decent amount but is not needed so I’d say this is a pretty good game it does have some buggy things but all games do ### 5/5 — Mediocre at best *2026-02-28, version 1.496 21* It’s the same as any strategy base builder with a minor tweaks. The only problem I have with this game are the cringy voice acting and bad translation. Th enemies are called cyborgs but the text calls them biomen, or zombies, and they are clearly zombies. The voice acting don’t match the text at all and it makes you skip all the voice acting. ### 5/5 — Money *2026-01-27, version 1.495* On my 4th day, my castle is lvl 21. I haven’t spend money on it yet. I have teammates trying to get me to spend money, so my castle could get a lvl 30. But I won’t. I really don’t want to spend money. I guess work hard on the game. But the game is ok for now ### 5/5 — Good for developing human cognition. *2026-01-27, version 1.495* The story is deep and engaging. The graphics are beautiful. Music is nice, too. ### 5/5 — Future update review *2026-01-23, version 1.495* Hey there my thoughts for future updates is that I am hoping you guys will bring back being able to buy gold mech part shards with your coins again or even at least up the spawn rate for higher level mechs as not everyone can spend real money to get them and it would help the free to play community in the game be able to grow with their alliance members not saying it has to be done but it would be nice as we lose so many players because they can’t grow their mech ### 5/5 — Social Engineering Scam *2026-01-16* I was introduced to this game from a random person on discord which led to me downloading it from the App Store, not from a link and led to me being pressured into buying in-app purchases. The person had control of purchases because she had said that she’ll reimburse me if I purchase this item and when I did buy it, my in-game currency did not even decrease, which is weird because that would mean she is in charge of store purchases within the game. Sounded like a complete scam and others in alliance had said they were brought to the game exactly how I said I was.
