### 3/5 — Concept is nice

*2026-07-29, version 1.26.20*

The app developer (aka pashaka) generally allows mods to do whatever they want.   No real oversight to check their bad behavior.   

But those mods have gotten lazy.   So the chat became flooded with political chat and other inappropriate stuff.   

His solution was to create ai bots to monitor chat.  These things just ban everyone now.  

Gameplay is okay if you like chess style strategy.

### 3/5 — Forced ads

*2026-04-03, version 1.24.4*

Good game but lost me and forced ads.

### 2/5 — 2025 update ruins continuity

*2025-11-13, version 1.24.4*

I first began to play UniWar on my iPhone 3GS well over a decade ago. It has been the only game I’ve continued to play on all my mobile phones. The 2025 update has ruined the gameplay. I’ve lost the ability to build units that were previously earned and the advert videos WILL NOT load so my only option is to pay to activate units. Reinstalling app did not fix. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Lacks aesthetics

*2025-05-22, version 1.21.19*

Gameplay is “fun” but gets boring to look at after a while. The game often feels like it is barebones and could use some serious updates.

### 5/5 — Just a question

*2024-09-05, version 1.19.8*

Was this game on the DS lite or is this game based on that one

### 5/5 — Saw 2v2v2 update

*2024-08-17, version 1.19.8*

I really am happy that this update exists but in edited mode how do you access it ? (Yes I have 6 sides created and placed in it and teams only does two teams)

### 5/5 — not p2w

*2024-07-29, version 1.19.8*

u can buy UniWar pro for ingame currency, it’s not pay to win.
It’s not too hard to save up for 3 months if u play daily and then it’s easy to have enough for the future from there. otherwise, very good strategy game, sad to see the player base is shrinking

### 5/5 — Not a gamer- love this game

*2024-07-23, version 1.19.8*

Been playing this game at least 15 years now. It is the only game I play, I’m not a gamer but the ability to pick up phone start my turn get interrupted then come back to finish turn makes this so easy to fit into busy life. It’s simple yet complex enough to be fun and enjoyable.

### 5/5 — A true timeless classic

*2024-06-21, version 1.19.8*

One of my all-time favorite games on all platforms. Think StarCraft meets chess. Infinite possibilities, three races, many tile types and unit types and unlimited potential.  And yet, somehow, they keep things very well balanced.

### 2/5 — Love the game but no longer working on iPad

*2024-06-18*

Chess meets StarCraft in this timeless classic turn based strategy game. Incredibly well balanced across three races and many different maps composed of hexagonal tiles each with unit-specific terrain bonus. Literally my all time favorite mobile game.

However, performance on my iPad has gradually declined to the point that sound no longer works and it constantly freezes and crashes. Needs some maintenance for iPad.

**Developer response:** Dear player, thank you for the nice review. We are glad you like the game.
All the best, Anastasia - Spooky House Studios Support

### 3/5 — Game fun; ads ripoff

*2024-05-04, version 1.19.8*

I enjoy playing this game a few minutes every day. But beware that the ads have seldom actually added the 30 points to my total.  I make a note of my total before selecting Add 30 points by watching an ad? What the game does is back up my points 30 and then pretends to add 30. So I recommend skipping ads altogether.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — $25 Subscription

*2026-04-27, version 1.24.4*

$25 annual subscription to remove ads?! That’s beyond greedy.

### 1/5 — Push notification harassment

*2025-12-16, version 1.24.4*

Used to be a huge fan going back to 2012, but I’m DONE with the constant push notification harassment to “Join the battlefield now!”

Paid full price for the game over a decade ago, and supported the devs even when they made it pay to play, but finally cancelled my sub and am deleting the app because of the constant notification harassment.

### 1/5 — Abzocke oder Dauerwerbung

*2025-09-23*

Das Spiel ist graphisch maximal schlicht. Aber in jedem kleinen Level kommt nach jedem 3. Zug Werbung. So ist das unspielbar für mich. Und um die 40 Euro jährlich dafür zu zu zahlen ist die Qualität des Spiel definitiv nicht wert

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2025-04-19, version 1.20.9*

Customer support has been unresponsive. Update your state flags - Mississippi, Utah, and Minnesota all have new flags. Please update them. Please.

### 1/5 — In game ads are insane

*2025-01-31, version 1.19.8*

Ads that you can’t skip come up every couple of minutes

### 1/5 — Boring...

*2024-11-29, version 1.19.8*

Easy to win, easy to lose...and very repetitious.  Once the ‘pair’ is broken, you’re screwed. That’s it. Moving on.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2024-11-28, version 1.19.8*

Tech support has been unresponsive. Update your state flags - Mississippi, Utah, and Minnesota all have new flags. Please update them.

### 1/5 — Fun but flawed

*2024-11-08, version 1.19.8*

Deception to the point of corruption. Fun but flawed

### 1/5 — I want to give it more stars

*2024-05-06, version 1.19.8*

BUT, since there is no way for me to complain to the developers besides in a review I will complain here. I don’t know what is happening the last two days but I have 8 games going and other games keep starting but then disappear. It also seems that I have two games in round 2 of a tournament and then two games in round 3 of the same tournament at the same time. I keep getting notifications that I have moves in 18 games but again. Only 8 show up. I make a move in one game and then that particular game disappears. I’m getting very upset about it all. Update: it’s getting worse. I literally probably have 30 games going on but on 8 will show. And new games keep generating continuously. I keep getting notifications that it’s my turn but unless someone plays in a game that I’ve already started I can’t see them. But once I play my turn on an existing game all the other games that were created appear after I end my turn. All new games starting at the very first turn. “You are in charge of the blue army.” It’s completely out of control and the stars will continue to go down until someone responds to this and fixes something. I should be able to send screenshots and or videos. The game needs a support team. I’m getting very upset and I’ve spent money and this is not ok. Another update: so what I can tell is yes I have tons of games going. 20+ games. I keep getting notifications that it’s my turn (currently says it’s my turn in 11 games) but if it’s not one of the 8 games that are displayed then I can’t make my moves. Once one of those 8 games is available for me to make my turn, I can then play all the others if I choose to end turn and go to the next game. Fricking really ticking me off. I NEVER ASKED TO PLAY THIS MANY GAMES. but since I am, I’d like to be able to play them as soon as it’s my turn and not have to wait.

### 1/5 — Pay 2 win

*2023-10-21, version 1.19.8*

Back in the day. This is used to being amazing game. Now it’s just pay to win

### 5/5 — Totally Addicted

*2026-05-19, version 1.24.4*

I can’t get enough of this game. The variety of maps, races and units make for an infinite supply of fun.

### 5/5 — Solid game!

*2025-12-08, version 1.24.4*

Been playing it for years. It’s a solid game and great dev support

### 5/5 — Fesselndes Spiel mit Erinnerung an Battle Isle

*2025-10-25*

Sehr gut gemachtes fesselndes rundenbasiertes Strategiespiel im Schere-Stein-Papier Prinzip. Komme gar nicht mehr weg davon. Spiele sehr gern Solo. In der Kampagne hänge ich allerdings bei „Die Rebellion hat gegonnen“ fest, die Einheiten lassen sich nicht bewegen. Wunsch: Mehr XL-Karten für spannende Stunden Solo oder grosse Kampagne mit Story und XL-Maps.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and satisfying game for duel, solo or multiplayer; immediate fun with chess-like depth

*2025-08-29, version 1.24.4*

Asymmetric races each with their own fun learning curve, atmospheric maps you can create yourself, chess-like gameplay with opportunity to deepen both strategy and tactics while being immediately accessible and fun. A favorite game of all time!

### 5/5 — Настоящая стратегия

*2025-07-28*

Играю почти 10 лет, потрясающая игра!

### 5/5 — good game

*2025-07-04, version 1.23.13*

me when i play a match and then the titan player spams 100 walkers and i lose instantly

### 5/5 — Good strategy game

*2025-06-06, version 1.22.9*

Fun multiplayer player turn based strategy game. The free version lets you figure out if you like it. If end up playing a lot then the subscription is a good idea.

### 5/5 — Exceptionally re-playable!

*2024-11-01, version 1.19.8*

This game hits the sweet spot of being easy to learn but challenging to master. The 3 species are well-balanced, & the ability to create, share & edit maps/playing fields makes for a casual game that isn’t boring even after several years of play. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Uniwar is my fave TBS game

*2024-10-28, version 1.19.8*

I’ve played this game since it debuted. It’s still awesome!

### 5/5 — Fantastic game!

*2024-10-06, version 1.19.8*

I haven’t played this game in years but looked into it again recently. I have to say I’m really impressed with the updates. The tutorial is great, in game guides, new units are al, superb. The cost is well worth it. I’d highly recommend
