### 4/5 — Cool

*2026-09-06, version 1.8.15*

Little pixel blood and guts! Yay!

### 4/5 — Honest review

*2026-09-05, version 1.8.15*

I think this game is great and unique, I would definitely rate this game four stars, however the only reason I’m not giving it a five star rating is because the lack of game modes, for example during winter that added this survival mode which waves of enemies would attack you and you could unlock different feats and upgrades that would help you progress deeper into the rounds, but now that the special event is gone there is no survival mode, I just wish the events weren’t exclusive to seasonal times. Also I wish that they added a custom mode that lets you customize the battlefields a little more and possibly the enemies weaponry, or possibly a pvp mode, now i know im getting ahead of myself and i might be asking for too much, but I seriously think this would bring in more people and would make the experience all the more worth the purchase, thank you for your time.

### 4/5 — Ok but purchases

*2026-08-26, version 1.8.15*

No ads which is good but a lot of content is locked and you have to pay. Also a lot of the cool things are locked. But still good without paying.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-16, version 1.8.15*

This game is really fun! Only has one issue that keeps reoccurring and that’s some crashing. I’ll start a battle play for about two minutes and it exits out the app. Besides that I really enjoy this game!

### 5/5 — Great game to play

*2026-08-15, version 1.8.15*

This game is great! No ads and very addictive game to play.

### 4/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-15, version 1.8.15*

Amazing game but it crashes many times, like I mean an absurd amount of times.

### 4/5 — Great Game but

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.15*

I love the game and how it’s not just one of the slop games but this has heart in it and it does make you feel something when you lose a platoon. I just dislike that a lot of the features are behind the unlimited version. It’s kind of like a paywall.

### 5/5 — Solid game

*2026-08-11, version 1.8.15*

Fun game, still figuring out the balance of the units!

### 3/5 — Good for 1 hour

*2026-08-07, version 1.8.15*

The game is fun at first. The mechanics and details and strategy is very cool and it offers a lot of diversity in game play and risk. However all that eventually get overlapped by the fact that this game is a very long term game and you will be playing for hours just for the difficulty to stay the same and see basically 2% progress.  For me after 2 hours it’s like alright I get it you click the whistle people move, you have your arty with you upgrade and drag and drop, you move troops if you really want…. And rinse and repeat 40 times in 2 hours. 

I understand there’s some point to be made that slow progress is real progress or wtv. But I feel like this is tooo slow for something that has too much risk in it, it shouldn’t be a spend 100s of hours to max out a single unit just for it to be permanently killed after 1 bad game cause then all that progress you had was useless. With other rage games at least it’s like you learned and you yourself got better but this it’s basically a tycoon that you could lose at any game.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-08-07, version 1.8.15*

Good game great for killing time. Crashes lots though.

### 3/5 — Needs multiplayer option

*2026-08-06, version 1.8.15*

Good game. It’s a little to easy I wish there was a multiplayer feature your app would scale if you added this to the game.

### 5/5 — G.O.A.T.

*2026-08-05, version 1.8.15*

N.U.T.

### 3/5 — Great game

*2026-08-05, version 1.8.15*

Continuously crashes mid game

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-05, version 1.8.15*

Perfect down to every small detail

### 5/5 — The game

*2026-08-04, version 1.8.15*

It’s really fun no forced ads but I dislike having to pay for more kind of soldiers

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pay

*2026-09-06, version 1.8.15*

Pay for full version and to have actual fun

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-08-25, version 1.8.15*

Redoing my review. Returned to this game after awhile. Was having a blast for hours, rated 5 stars and then 2 games later the game will not even get through half of a match without crashing. I should have known better.

### 1/5 — boring game

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.15*

boring.

### 1/5 — $14.99 purchase not working

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.15*

Hi guys,
Like the game but sent $14.99 to buy the full game. When started a new save file was back to the limited free version

Please help and will change review

### 1/5 — PROBLEM/CRASHING

*2026-08-04, version 1.8.15*

The game is great, why I bought the ultimate edition. I would give it 4 stars, but before I got the ultimate, the game worked perfectly, never crashed. But once I bought it, the game crashes before I even can complete one level. Please fix or I would like my money back! 

Thanks

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-08-03, version 1.8.15*

I brought the unlimited version and I was exting the game with the tool button and when I went back in it said that I didn’t have the unlimited version please help or give me my money back

### 1/5 — CHANGE THE LOGO BACK TO THE OLD ONE

*2026-07-27, version 1.8.15*

I DO NOT need to see the mark of an autocratic regime on my home screen. Neither do my coworkers, friends or family. If people want this one, allow them to change their app logo but this should NOT be the default.

### 1/5 — Update asap

*2026-07-23, version 1.8.14*

Man this game is awesome but as soon as the gameplay starts to get fun the game crashes smh

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2026-07-11, version 1.8.14*

So far only played the game all of 20 minutes, but realizing the full game is almost 10 bucks is crazy. It’s a phone game, price is way over average compared to other games.

### 1/5 — To the Trenches?

*2026-06-27, version 1.8.9*

This game crashes CONSTANTLY, making it incredibly frustrating to play if you want to progress.
