### 3/5 — Pls read

*2025-09-08, version 1.5*

The game is overwhelming with enemy units keep coming at every single 10 seconds they have no limit to their limits and get resources rapidly while we defenceless buildings and waiting hours for new troops and resources please update the game I’m begging you

### 3/5 — 4.99

*2024-08-16, version 1.5*

Your app says it cost 499 but I’m unable to buy it explained

### 2/5 — More of fulfilling challenges per level

*2021-02-23, version 1.5*

This game is only similar to the recent PC game in terms of sending troops out but it still lacks the detail and melee engine for the troop battles. The look is similar to the game in the 90s. However, if you are looking for the board game type of interaction, this isn’t it.

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2019-06-16*

Já havia jogado, baixei para jogar de novo

### 5/5 — A Must Have!!!

*2019-05-05, version 1.5*

Best undiscovered app in the store!!! Play it! Buy it!!! Support Sega and Creative Assembly on this one! So much fun and a brilliantly unique real time strategy with lots of options. Incredible graphics, Risk on an octagon Chess board. BTW, this is my first ever review. Please share with friends we need more games like this. I don't work in video games but I am an author. My wish is they re-skin this for a pirates, Knights orAmerican Revolution. Baller status game!!!... (just downloaded this on my new iPad; CA, please re-skin for Empire Total War)

### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo

### 5/5 — Update caused flag not to work

### 4/5 — Excelente! Mas tem um bug em um dos estágios

*2018-01-12*

Muito em feito, gráficos excepcionais, uma dinâmica de jogo inovadora, e extremamente viciante.

Mas como nem tudo são flores, tem um bug no estágio Remnants. Após uns dois minutos de jogo, o App dá um crash e se fecha sozinho.

### 5/5 — One thing

*2017-12-28, version 1.5*

Can you please add ninjas to the multiplayer mode

### 1/5 — I can’t login

*2023-02-16, version 1.5*

I can’t login or change passwords

### 1/5 — $$$20.00 Ripoff/kicked off

*2020-04-27, version 1.5*

Game was great but couldn’t beat a certain mission. Bought 2    9.99 packs of exp and both times I bought it, it kicked me to my home screen on my phone. Then when I go to go back in my exp isn’t there!!!

Something needs to be done

### 1/5 — Cool game but in app purchase bug ate my 28.99

*2019-05-28, version 1.5*

So far this is a pretty cool game but I purchased 30,000 EXP before starting and after the tutorial (campaign) I was reduced to the starting amount of EXP 😣😣😣

### 1/5 — War Banner Bug!

*2018-10-06, version 1.5*

Come on! I have bought instant war banner production upgrade with 800 exp but instead of producing immediately, it freezes to zero progressions, not evening progressing to normal rate. I love the game and the strategaty concept of it but it is painful to have an upgrade that give me disadvantage. I hope you all developers fix that bugs ASAP. :(

### 1/5 — Game crashes

*2018-01-04, version 1.5*

During remnants side mission the mission crashed the game 7 times in a row as soon as combat between units begins. This did not happen at any other point... only here. Can’t continue to play the game because of this.

### 1/5 — stürzt ab

*2016-11-05*

Während des spiels

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2015-08-07, version 1.4*

The game was great until the app stopped opening. Now it's just useless. I'd like a refund.

### 1/5 — Terrble

*2015-04-25, version 1.4*

Terrible God help the creator when I fain him I am serious
Al way lags out.

### 1/5 — Lame.  Not a RTS.  Not Total War.

*2015-01-13, version 1.4*

I love RTS (still play AOE2), and I’ve played Total War Japan on the PC.

This… I don’t know what it is, but it sure isn’t RTS or Total War.   There are much better true RTS implementations on mobile.   This game, will bore you within the first minute.

*2022-07-01, version 1.5*

I love this game so much but I wish you would make a way for you to be the blue faction or the takeda and play has their leader being forced to betray the crane and take part as their leader and fight back against the enemy.

### 5/5 — Still great 10 years. (Give or take) later
