### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-05-07, version 1.2.5*

This game is one of the best turtle games I’ve ever played! Good graphics for mobile at least, creative and sick concept and decent gameplay! First, graphics, the graphics for this game isn’t pc level, but what do you expect? It’s mobile and it’s good for mobile. Next is concept, it’s amazing for a game! I mean rats shooting bugs and other animals on top of a highly armored tortoise with other army rats, like come on, that’s so COOL! And creative! Like who could think of that?!? Next is gameplay, it’s a game with waves coming and coming. I find it boring when you get to later waves, but it’s still fun at many other times, the upgrades are cool and I enjoy the types of things you can buy! This is the best turtle games I’ve played so far!

### 5/5 — Лучший TD тир что играл когда либо.

*2025-06-15*

Установил на джейленый iPad 4 на днях. Решил проверить есть ли в эпсторе и вот я тут, теперь уже прохожу на 15 про Макс.

### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo

Um ótimo jogo para se passar o tem. Recomendo muito

### 5/5 — :)

*2024-09-21, version 1.2.4*

👍

### 5/5 — Not surprised and not disappointed 😁

*2024-04-14, version 1.2.4*

I knew from the start when I seen the sequel and read the reviews I heard it had a prequal and I always play the originals first this game is amazing very very smooth and fun to play graphics are great and I’m so excited for the sequel!

### 5/5 — HELP

*2024-04-06, version 1.2.4*

Before I downloaded this masterpiece, I was a leader of a cat gang (in Paris, Germany). I am a cat who has developed sentience because of War Tortoise. This will revolutionize pets worldwide, if they witness the sheer originality and awe inspiring gameplay of War Tortoise. I am now leader of Pepsi and Antarctica, and rule the penguin-seal army, through the pact of Walrusville. I am about to embark on a diplomatic mission to Texas, and I figured I should give my thanks to the wonderful meta-changing internet famous game, War Tortoise. 
However, I have just made contact with the space cats of Pluto, and they want to steal War Tortoise from us! I require reinforcements! They will begin their invasion on the eclipse of the 8th! HELP

### 4/5 — Only one problem

*2023-11-22, version 1.2.4*

This is an AMAZING game, but ONE problem made me stop playing it, so now I only play the sequel.

This game only forces you to watch ads when you open it. Not a big deal, right? This isn’t even a problem, on its own.

However, the game frequently crashes when you open the menu to spend the money you get from enemies, waves, and mining.

Then you have to watch an ad when you reopen the game.

So when I’m feeling totally immersed, I’m suddenly kicked out and have to watch an ad to reopen the game.

What’s more frustrating is that if you get 15 of the special currency, you can remove ads without spending a cent, so I plowed on, despite the crashes and ads, hoping to get rid of the ads and finally enjoy the game, but I eventually ran out of patience.

If you have high patience with ads, play this game! It’s great! But it has a sequel without these problems, if you can’t reach the point of finally getting rid of ads.

### 5/5 — I loved this game

*2023-09-19, version 1.2.4*

I still do and have since I got it in 2019 but then the released war tortoise 2 now I have that on the shelves of my do not delete section of my Home Screen i muss this game it was my favorite and is filled to the brim with nostalgia.
great job devs love your work keep it up!

### 5/5 — 広告消せる

*2023-08-24*

最初にトークンで広告を消せば、報酬2倍や広告で手に入るパークがすぐ手に入るからやっておいたほうがいい

### 5/5 — LIFE CHANGING

*2023-05-28, version 1.2.4*

I was once addicted to methamphetamines and beating my kids but when I downloaded war tortoise it lead me on a holy path of righteousness. This game showed me that life was priceless and shouldn’t be wasted I now have a greater purpose and I love my kids my ex wife is begging to get back together but I can’t because she doesn’t play war tortoise. I believe Christ himself lead me to this game and showed me a greater path. I have since abandoned pornography and am the owner of Coca Cola and I owe it all to war tortoise
