### 5/5 — great work

*2025-10-05, version 2.9.8*

классно сделал спасибо

### 3/5 — Не очень

*2024-10-26*

В сложности меру тоже нужно знать. На ЛЁГКОМ уровне мне надо противостоять варварам, из которых:
Остготов - 3,7 млн
Скифов - 4,4 млн
Даков - 6,7 млн
с общей армией в 215 тысяч солдат. 
Я понимаю, что многие люди любят сложные стратегии, но ведь не случайно придумали лёгкий уровень? 
Честно говоря, очень обидно, ведь задумка очень классная, но когда ты ВООБЩЕ никак не можешь пройти игру на любой сложности, это полностью отбивает желание играть

### 5/5 — Это шедевр.

*2023-10-28*

Это одна из самых лучших мобильных стратегий! Так оно ещё и бесплатное! 10 Греций из 10!

### 5/5 — Гусь. Киборг убица

*2023-05-27*

Игра супер кря.  Всем рекоминдую.   Кря кря

### 1/5 — Impossible to play on iPhone 12

*2022-07-09*

You can see little and read nothing.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2021-04-25*

Отличная игра, при простом интерфейсе местами не простая. Огромное спасибо разработчику!

### 1/5 — Уберите чёрные рамки для айфон 11

*2021-01-19*

Уберите рамки

### 5/5 — 10 из 10

*2020-10-04*

Если ты фанат серий игр Total War то это точно для тебя .

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-10-02*

Long time favorite game I wish the developers would make new games so I could play those too.

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2020-08-05*
