So, basically unplayable. Don’t waste your time and money on this until that little issue is fixed. ### 2/5 — This app this means war is now unplayable because it is out dated and it’s hasn’t been updated since *2026-05-09, version 4.2.143* It’s has been 5 years not been updated and now in the loading screen it’s saying that there’s a server error and it’s not your fault try again and can someone please resolve this issue ASAP and please update the app ASAP to the latest version because it’s been five years since the last update and there’s a lot of bugs issues that is giving me the error message in the loading screen.the app is outdated and it needs to be updated and can someone please update this means war because it’s just crashes during the battle and it’s has been 7 years since the latest update and the app needs to be updated now. ### 2/5 — Dead *2026-02-19, version 4.2.143* Dead game and global is full of trolls…… ### 4/5 — Clash royal knock off *2025-11-19, version 4.2.143* Literally just a Clash Royale knock off I don’t know what else to say ### 3/5 — Fun to a certain point *2025-09-25, version 4.2.143* This game is extremely creative and a lot of fun up to a certain point. Once you upgrade your base to a certain level, it seems to match you up against other bases that you simply do not have a chance. It’s common for me to skip 30 to 40 bases in a row due to the fact that they’re so overpowered compared to me. I don’t have a chance to beat them. Then the bases that I do come across that I have a chance there’s next-door to no resources available to take so you really go round and round in circles . Therefore, you better break out your wallet and get ready to spend money because the bases it pits you against are almost unbeatable. It’s a fun game, but there’s no way you can advance past a certain level without spending a lot of money and I mean a lot of money. I don’t see how you could get past some of these bases without spending at least $100 on batteries and that seems like a lot of money to me. ### 4/5 — Updates *2025-08-02, version 4.2.143* Been years since last update and I feel so much more could be done with this game. It’s still very fun but it could for sure use more content or modernizing. ### 2/5 — Server :( *2025-06-21, version 4.2.143* Servers down :( ### 2/5 — Your servers are down *2025-06-10, version 4.2.143* . ### 3/5 — Server error *2025-06-09, version 4.2.143* I was playing 2 days ago and it says server error and I can’t fix it I’ve tried everything but I was enjoying the game If this is the end I’ve enjoyed every moment of this game it was a honor to play this game ### 4/5 — Walls *2025-02-05, version 4.2.143* I wish you had the option when upgrading walls you could use either Red Mercury or the Supplies, other than that fantastic game. ### 3/5 — I’m back with another review *2024-12-01, version 4.2.143* The servers were down for about a week and all I come back to is the same old game I wanted the developers to take some advice but I guess there sigma powers have faded ### 4/5 — Good Game but add stuff *2024-11-25* I have played this game ever since it came out and it’s a very good game with a bunch of potential but the developers really don’t care about the game, a few things they could add is a new mode, more types of troops, more defense buildings, and probably a thing where you could control one of your troops :) ### 1/5 — The end of an era *2024-10-04, version 4.2.143* This game needs new developers who are willing to go all the way so people who don’t spend money are able to make the later stages in the game. This game had so much potential to be great only if the developers kept working on it. Throughout the game the developers haven’t included anything that engages old players/new players to continue playing it’s died down significantly. This game is better off with new developers! ### 2/5 — Failed game *2024-09-05, version 4.2.143* This games a joke, I keep trying to upgrade my base and troops but keep getting attacked for my resources so I’m stuck and I can’t attack anybody because my troops are to weak ### 1/5 — No response from developers or customer service *2024-08-24, version 4.2.143* I have been away from this game for a few years, I have come back in the last two months to find there is no customer service nor will the developers answer. Emails to speak to you. It seems this game is still running on algorithms from before the year 2020 they collect money it appears for upgrades in this game. I don’t think I will stay with it any longer. Some serious changes need to be put into play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Guess game is done *2025-06-21, version 4.2.143* No updates in past 5 yrs and know I have been able to login for the past 10 days. Keeps saying “uh oh, not your fault. Server error try again “ ### 1/5 — No longer works as of 6/19/25 *2025-06-19, version 4.2.143* The game has not worked in about the last 2 weeks as of 6/19/25. If it comes back I will revise my review. ### 1/5 — Game has shut down *2025-06-16, version 4.2.143* According to game message, game is no longer available due to server issues ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-06-09, version 4.2.143* Game doesn’t work.

Great way to make people dump all their money into a game just to have it taken because none of the algorithms make any sense.
