I recommend just spending the money to get the actual risk game ### 1/5 — Too many ads, same old story *2026-05-13, version 6.00.0* Used to be a fantastic app. Clearly sold out, sold the original name of the app and now has added an ad before and after every level. A shame. ### 5/5 — Started in 2016 *2026-03-31, version 5.43.0* This game is legit! I have been playing for 10 years and I always keep coming back. It’s fun and strategic. Keep it coming! ### 1/5 — Gay bois club *2026-03-25, version 5.43.0* So a few high level players basically control the game, if you play with them they order your every move! If you do not listen to them they report you, harass you, berate you, and even hold you hostage until you make the moves they ordered When I reported this I lost my account, for “spamming” The dev is part of the gay boi club Best to just save your time and trouble and play the real risk, not this awful knock off ### 1/5 — Fizz Drink fix your terrible app *2026-03-25, version 5.43.0* Barely functions properly, so many text bubbles still do not work and performance is abysmal. Development is at a snails pace, the mod team abuse their power and you do nothing to fix it. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME! ### 1/5 — Hackers *2026-03-18, version 5.43.0* I have played against multiple people who hacked the game to give themselves infinite troops, and there is no in game way to report hackers for some reason. If you try to report it, it doesn’t let you and just refers you to the wiki page saying that you just don’t understand the rules. I do understand the rules, I’ve been playing this game for a while and I know that getting 1000 troops on turn one with no bonus is not possible. I’m very close to uninstalling this game because of this. Do better. ### 4/5 — AI is broken *2025-09-27, version 5.39.0* I have been playing for a while now off and on and I have noticed that the AI is completely broken on some levels. It always is able to deploy a lot of troops when the game has just started, and it does this even when it starts in areas that don’t have good bonuses. I like a good challenge but this just puts the player at a disadvantage especially when they can’t deploy as many. ### 5/5 — Best Strategy Game *2025-09-26, version 5.39.0* This is the best turn based strategy game I’ve ever played. Simple, straight forward and extremely fun ### 5/5 — Do it *2025-09-03, version 5.38.0* I moved to this game from risk. Really active/ cool community. If you play this I would suggest getting a padded toilet seat. ### 5/5 — Risk but better *2025-08-27, version 5.38.0* Enjoy strategy? This is Risk with better maps, options, and fog of war ## Frequently asked questions about War.app ### What kind of game is Warzone?
