Little pop ups of history to keep you in the Roman days of glory. My only complaint is that I need more levels! ### 3/5 — как понял , что для разблокировки новых уровней нужны звёзды, сразу удалил, пофиксите *2022-12-30, version 1.0.23* .. ### 4/5 — Basically mushroom wars *2022-11-28, version 1.0.23* This game is basically mushroom wars but a little less detailed in its combat. Still a great game and there are some differences that separate the two. I think the facts after every battle are pretty neat. I like it and am going to keep playing it. ### 3/5 — Ok it is but… *2022-07-16, version 1.0.23* I think you should add a multiplayer mode where people fight against each other and different troops ### 3/5 — Not awesome *2022-07-04, version 1.0.23* I paid to remove ads only to discover that the timer is jumping ahead by a whole minute!!! Not impressed at all!! ### 2/5 — Adverts *2022-06-27, version 1.0.23* Great game but unfortunately ruined by the amount of adverts ### 2/5 — Boring game *2022-04-24, version 1.0.23* Extremely repetitive, the same thing over and over with minor variations in placement. ### 4/5 — Great *2022-03-20, version 1.0.23* Good game, smart and free to play. ### 2/5 — Why *2021-12-17, version 1.0.23* Fun game to plane, except when im out of wifi you are begging me to get rid of the ads by paying you. Half the time I cant play the mext level because you are asking me to pay you. ### 3/5 — Fun game. Font size .0003 *2021-09-06, version 1.0.23* Fun game. Everything is too small. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deceptive, trash, and a scam *2023-01-10, version 1.0.23* The game barrages you with ads after every round. An impassable paywall exists after around round 8. The developed begs for the player to purchase the disable ad function with a strange portrait that consumes the screen. If you’re down to waste 13 minutes of your life, download this app. ### 1/5 — Avoid it *2022-11-24, version 1.0.23* Waste of time trying to play this. The ads are nonstop and make the game unplayable. Then they want like 4 bucks to shut off ads. No thanks. ### 1/5 — ad factory *2022-09-07, version 1.0.23* interesting gameplay, if it didn’t give an ad every 30 seconds would be very fun. ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-04-18, version 1.0.23* The most brain dead game I’ve seen, drag and drop is all you do there’s nothing else about it, no thinking just dragging and dropping ### 1/5 — Not worth the download time - too many ads *2022-01-03, version 1.0.23* Mindless game where all you do is drag and drop to defeat an enemy. No freedom to choose where you want to attack on the map. No upgrades or scaling for the game. Most of these reviews are probably paid for fake reviews. And the game is riddled with adverts, even turning internet off still pauses too often for the creator to tell you to buy the game to not see ads. In all definitely not worth the effort. ### 1/5 — Unplayable on Mini *2022-01-01, version 1.0.23* Tiny yellow text on brown background is nearly impossible to read. The first mission asks you to drag a city to a village, which I did repeatedly, yet nothing happened. After the timer ran for a minute or so, I figured it was frozen. I restarted it and had the same experience the second time. Does not work on an iPad mini. Side note: The hint text describes “clicking” and “double clicking”, but this is a mobile app, so I think this is just a bad conversion from a mouse-based game to an iOS game. ### 1/5 — SPAM *2021-10-21, version 1.0.23* MUCHOS ANUNCIOS PIDIENDO DONACIONES,HARTO!! ### 1/5 — Ruined by star system *2021-10-20, version 1.0.23* A good game ruined by a scoring system that forces you to stay stuck on levels. It’s not clear how the scoring system works in most cases either. ### 1/5 — Fun game - Garbage developer *2021-10-11, version 1.0.23* The creator of this game put ads that show up every time you start a round: no problem with that, gotta make money. However he also added a modal that begs you to purchase the game to remove ads. There’s a glitch that makes an infinite loop so essentially I cannot continue playing until I purchase his game. This is really unethical, and honestly sad. If you’re trying to monetize this do it the right way. ### 1/5 — Реклама *2021-08-18, version 1.0.23* С рекламой перебор ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun! *2024-01-18, version 1.0.23* I love this little game… nothing complicated or over the top… just really fun to mess around with. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-09-01, version 1.0.23* Game is sweet, 5 out of 5. But there’s a bug, when u watch ads, but can’t continue playing and it starts ad again. Please fix ### 5/5 — Jack *2022-10-29, version 1.0.23* Gave it five stars just for Jack tell your artist he is cool and please Jack respond and I will give five stars with all my alt accounts ### 5/5 — :) *2022-05-04, version 1.0.23* It’s a awesome chill game ### 5/5 — Boff nothing crazy jere *2022-03-09, version 1.0.23* There is publicity after every game you need to pay to remove them but this game doesn’t play online….. ### 5/5 — A *2022-03-04, version 1.0.23* A ### 5/5 — funny *2022-01-16* ur funny ### 5/5 — So far so good *2021-11-04, version 1.0.23* Fantastic strategy game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-10-22, version 1.0.23* It’s a well made game that can be challenging, I enjoy playing it ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-09-11, version 1.0.23* Of course there’s limited levels which is the only thing I can downplay. Slight evolution in enemy’s makes it interesting for the later levels. Actually took 10 tries to beat the current last level which makes me happy, not that many games that aren’t just clickers.
