Pretty good

A neat and chill little game my only complaints are the lack of clear victory conditions for defense and unlocking countries can be a bit of an annoying grind but other than that it’s pretty cool

Pretty good

I was trying to complete a defence mode in a hard mode, but it doesn’t let you fire

Not Surprised or Disappointed

It’s a good game for kids I guess. It’s more or less suited as one of those flash games. It’s mostly just two boring mini games. Not sure how this could be appealing to 9 year olds but I’m not 9 so I can’t really judge.

A most necessary rebuttal to the review by JEMPFREY

With all due respect, JEMPFREY (an acronym for Judgemental Excrement of Malodorously Pretentious Fallacies in Ranting by Entitled Youth) is either contradicting their own claim, or literally ignorant of what the word “literally” means. If the game is literally unplayable, then how did this illiterate oaf get to the point of allegedly having a high score? Indeed, it’s yet another example of an outraged tantrum when extreme entitlement is stymied by hurdles of real life.

I haven’t played this game yet, but I already know that both its indie developer and the word “literally” deserve better than that. This is to offset the jerk’s impact on your rating, and to plead for an end to the rampant misuse of “literally.” It’s literally the only word left to distinguish objective reality from exaggeration in any scenario. Even “really” doesn’t always mean strictly real.

So let's all do our part to treat indie devs and the English language properly. Remember that it’s easy to hate, but very hard to create.

Cool atmospheric game

Cool game with atmospheric graphics and 8bit national music. It also gives you a cool vibe of old arcade cabinets with it’s rating system. Some gameplay bugs need to be fixed, however this game has a great potential🤘

Needs A bug fix

There is a bug in attack mode to if you place your units in the top of the screen the machine gun can’t get them (this might just be for iOS)

Thanks for the feedback Maxwell! Didn’t see this until now, since it was an edit; but I will look into this. I can say that a future update is already planned to increase the number of machine guns as the difficulty scales. This will definitely cover blind spots but will also ensure guns fire all over.

Great concept

This game is simple and great it I love the accuracy on Austro-Hungarians flag the machine guns are fun and feel good to use I hope more factions are added soon because from 5 minutes of playing this game it’s awesome that you for accuracy on the game.At the time there is a serious drought of good ww1 games and this is slowly filling the void.I hope this inspires you to work more on this looking forward to this game to see how it expands.am do have one suggestion,can you make a better menu that kind of looks like the game trench warfare 1917 Keep up the great work:Maxwell

Thank you so much for your kind words Maxwell! I’m so glad you like it. It was a real challenge to try to have a fun retro vibe while maintaining historical accuracy; it’s so great you enjoyed that. We are indeed working on more factions, features and eventually a multiplayer so stay tuned! We will take your advice into account on the menus.

Unfinished Game

The art style of the game definitely has potential, the title and the starting menu are definitely give a good first impression. I feel the game can really kick off. Overall genuine game, I would not play again unless the devs decide to change the gameplay. Keep at it guys, good work! -NoahV

Thanks so much, Noah! Definitely planning to add more, but as a solo developer doing this as a hobby it’s taking quite sometime, lol.

STEAMING PILE OF GARBAGE

Literally an unplayable game. The ratings HAVE to be fake because there’s no way anybody enjoys this broken game with almost 0 playability. Left several “top scores” and they did not come up on the leaderboard later meaning they are faking any kind of player base in game (the leaderboards are fake). Both game modes, attack and defend, are impossible, with no mechanics allowing for nuance. Games last under a minute, leaving you feeling unsatisfied and baited. It’s clearly an unfinished shop with items that will never truly be added despite descriptions saying they are under development. It’s another lie, like this game’s functionality. Using the shop function during a game will not work, it will cause you to lose immediately as it does not pause the game and enemies continue to progress while you are in the menu. Developer clearly does not know what they are doing and should stick to doing something else with their time, than making garbage like this.

Thank you for your opinion we actually are value a feedback even if it was a bit rude. We want all users to have a great experience. We did not fake any ratings, we have no resources for that nor time as this is currently a hobby project. In regards to the crashing issue we do have an update we've been testing which seems to fix the problem but if you let us know your device type and OS version that would be really helpful. The leader board is not fake, but it did start with a default list of historical heroes from each faction just like you'd get in an old school sega or arcade game. We use cloudkit and have not had issues in our test environment but if you can let us know if you were on wifi/cellular and what region that can also help us try to replicate your issue. Thank you again for your opinion and have a great day.
