### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2026-08-25, version 2.6.8*

I have been playing this game for two years and it’s my first review and and I can tell you this game is this game is a good game

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-08-24, version 2.6.8*

Make it where in sandbox you can activate artillery for them, like in hard mode, and you can choose what they can have, so you can make stuff more fair in sandbox, and also, it would be a good idea to add the backwards death animation (where they fall flat) into the death animations when they get shot or blown up, and add stationary troops that stand still , even when they are not in a trench, and also will you marry me brah🥶

### 4/5 — Amazing but no multiplayer

*2026-08-23, version 2.6.8*

The game is good the graphics is good but there’s no multiplayer there’s even sandbox but you can’t play other players maps plsss add multiplayer also pls add Canada literally everyone’s asking for it

### 5/5 — Amazing Game. SimpleBit studios is great

*2026-08-21, version 2.6.8*

Great game. I love it. Amazing sandbox mode, great campaign, and good Operation game mode. AND it doesn’t really need wifi. Overall just a great game. SimpeBit, thanks for actually putting effort into your games. Just the tiny problem of so many of the Sandbox buildings/decorations force ads… or the sandbox pack. With the ads, you only get the building until you exit that screen. But the Sandbox pack is worth it.
Also, what the heck does the new smoke thing do?

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-21, version 2.6.8*

Love it super fun

### 5/5 — Progress

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.8*

Very well made and fun, although a few bugs (the end of the gun for the Late war British assault troop is bugged)

### 5/5 — Russian growth fund

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.8*

Why did you skip the Russian one

### 5/5 — I love this game so much here is a little idea

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.7*

I think that it would be awesome if there are skins from the Vietnam war like NVA skins for Japan and Vietnam era skins for the US

### 1/5 — Was fun

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.7*

Game was fun until they gave the artillery man too much power which makes it impossible to win
