Please thank you and more infantry and please update the game ### 4/5 — Nice game *2023-08-14* Nice interface and easy to navigate ### 4/5 — Help! *2023-07-14* I accidentally deleted the game and need help recovering my account ### 4/5 — Good *2023-06-04* When starting it can be a bit boring but when you get in to it it’s very fun ### 4/5 — The Great War Rivals *2022-11-06, version 2022.9.0* This is a fun game. There are many opportunities for both small bases and larger bases. The reward system is set up so anyone can excel regardless of base size. ### 4/5 — Game play *2022-05-29, version 2022.5.1* I would give you a 5 if things moved a little faster ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-05-20, version 2022.4.3* This is a very enjoyable game. I would love to see bigger battles. All in all a good game. ### 4/5 — Training *2022-03-17, version 2022.2.0* The game would be better if you could train more then one unit at a time. Need to reward more speed ups. Then the game would be great!!! ### 3/5 — Game is ok. *2022-02-24, version 2022.2.0* If you are not constantly on this game you will run out of food because of an upkeep charge. Items are hard to find even if you wanted to purchase. This is a very time consuming game, to many pieces to the puzzle. I am Desperately trying to find a good game after Hard Head Squad shut down. ### 5/5 — Very fun *2022-02-17, version 2022.1.3* Great game me and my friends switched to thank u guys keep it up ### 3/5 — Decent game but don’t spend money *2022-01-28* Game is good but spending money is wasted as there is no cap on how many levels different someone can attack another so a lever 25 can hit a level 2 and you’ll never be able to get ahead until they put a control in for this. Most other games like this have that control. It’s just a bully paradise. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t play *2024-09-14* I’ve been playing this game and others from same company for over 10 yrs. It’s a big money grab in order to get to a decent lvl. Then you also pay to play with the big accounts. Game is full of bugs which hinder your play and don’t get fixed for long long periods of time. If I had to do over again … I would look else were. ### 1/5 — Trash game *2024-02-21* The devs are liars and con artists this game is the worst game on the market the developers do not add features and will not listen to you ! They just want your money it’s a dead game ! Trash trash trash ### 1/5 — A addictive waste of time and money *2023-07-17* Games like this a terrible. To be successful you have to invest a lot of time and money. Ultimately it’s a complete waste because the games have so many bugs and glitches that they’re not playable. This development team is only using one server for all its games which encompasses a gigantic number of fronts and players. That by itself creates the bugs and glitches. They need to either eliminate the inactive fronts entirely or limit the number of players. Then there’s the crimes called buying packages. Some are decent and you do receive long term benefits from buying them. Most aren’t worth the price. Then there’s the high cost of earned gold for getting necessary items to continue playing. They’re way too expensive and the developers keep raising those costs when the average player can’t afford it anyway and they end up quitting. The only answer is to avoid playing games like this. Another issue is that minor children as young as 10 are getting involved with these games and they don’t have the comprehension to understand what’s happening. Look, if someone has never played a traditional board game like chess then games like this aren’t for you ### 1/5 — Low population and war games do not mix. *2022-09-18, version 2022.7.0* Way too few people on most of their 4 servers or “fronts” for this game to be any fun. Front 1 can’t even fill a rally…. Yes the oldest server (~1 year) has that few people… and the newer ones are just worse… they don’t advertise or anything either so don’t expect it to get any better… ### 1/5 — Extremely Buggy *2022-04-15, version 2022.3.3* The amount of bugs, just in the starting tutorial, makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-01-24* Never been fed up with a game so quickly in all my life ### 1/5 — Portrait mode? *2022-01-21, version 2021.12.8* Why to developers insist on not being able to change it to the FAR better landscape? ### 3/5 — Still too many bugs *2022-11-21, version 2022.9.0* The last couple updates have improved the game - slightly. It’s the best of this developer’s games but still has major bug and glitch issues. All of a sudden you can’t bookmark potential targets even though I’ve purchased enough for 40 bookmarks. There’s issues with the shields dropping unexpectedly even though there’s days left. I still recommend this game but the developers need to follow our advice instead of ignoring it ### 3/5 — Pay to win *2022-06-23, version 2022.6.4* Pay to win ### 3/5 — Ehhh *2022-02-25, version 2022.2.0* If you liked world at war, and war and peace, then you’ll be happy to know this game is EXACTLY the same. But with worse graphics. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is fun *2023-05-18* This game is fun because you can battle other people and other stuff that is why it’s fun. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2023-05-05* Loads of fun. ### 5/5 — Germans get their own and British *2023-03-15* In the French and all the other tanks get their own tanks that’s all I would like. Please thank you and more infantry. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-01-02, version 2022.12.2* This game is great so far. Very easy to follow and the game literally teaches you to use it at you go along. Glad to finally get in on the ground level of an app instead of everybody being leveled up when I start!!!! Keep Up the good work ### 5/5 — Good strategy game *2022-12-30, version 2022.12.2* It’s got a lot of potential and is fun but a wall has been met early on, so it’s a pay to play and that blows but still fun to try and let’s see how long it keeps ur attention ### 5/5 — Nice Game *2022-10-17, version 2022.9.0* I was playing Platoons for last 4 years but sadly it is ending so I chose this game - it’s a combination of World at War and Platoons - nice to play - though many improvements are needed. ### 5/5 — More Austria depth? *2022-07-24, version 2022.7.0* Could you add a Franz Joseph or a Karl I leader character? ### 5/5 — Great base building game *2022-06-14, version 2022.6.2* Lots of fun... easy to navigate... graphics could def improve though. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-05-08, version 2022.4.2* I wish it was more popular ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2022-02-19* So far I have really enjoyed playing this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
