### 5/5 — Perfect for On the Go

*2026-08-04*

This game is one of my go to games for when I’m out and have a little time to kill.

### 3/5 — My thoughts

*2026-08-01*

The campaign mode is really fun same with conquest but my issue is local mode the bots turns go way to fast it’s hard to process what they just did especially if you just want to watch them battle it out (they also just only target the stronghold so there is barely any conflict)

### 4/5 — Waiting for cloud

*2026-06-30*

Hello I am getting waiting for cloud and the start screen not popping up afterwards. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and still get the error. Are the servers down or is this an on going issue? I do enjoy the game as several of us play coop, 2v2. Would like to get back to playing those.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you're having issues. We've checked on our side and everything looks fine. Not sure why you're unable to access the game. Our advice would be to restart your phone and check that it's not a memory issue causing stalling. Please let us know if this helps!

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-06-23*

Love the game, love the artwork and style, love the writing. As far as mobile games go, definitely in my top 10.

### 5/5 — A good tactical and strategy game, a bit too easy in initial settings

*2026-06-15*

It is good to reconnect to Advance Wars of the Nintendo era but the game is a bit too easy. It is good for those who did not play Wargrove on the PC yet! The story is funny and entertaining.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words!

### 1/5 — Lost my progress

*2026-05-23*

This is just too unprofessional in this day and age. I love this game, have played and beat the first, was excited about this one, until the fifth map or so and it just deleted my progress and wants me to start from the beginning. This is so incredibly deflating. I just don’t even want to play it anymore. And the game is slow to start up, you need to go through all the tutorials and scenes. I just want my progress back! I paid money for this. It’s absurd.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear this, how frustrating! Do you have a cloud save backup at all or is it completely gone? We can try to triage this with you over email if you like - support@chucklefish.org

### 4/5 — Great Strategy Gameplay

*2026-05-14*

I love this as a TBS fan. I do have a big gripe over my progress being wiped when I try to export/import between my devices. Export the save file, import it on my iPad, both devices now back at zero progress… very frustrating.

Edit for developer response- The issue is not that the save file disappeared, I can see and access it on all my devices, but it loads as a new game. Everything LOOKS like it’s going well, but it’s a fresh start.

**Developer response:** Hey TBSplayer, sorry to hear you've had your saves wiped twice, that's really frustrating! Can you confirm you've double checked your cloud saves, just in case there's hope!

### 5/5 — 操作性に不便はあるがシステムは面白い

*2026-03-07*

SRPG好きは絶対ハマると思います。
ただ、全体画面やターン終了画面、二本指での操作など、スマホならではの操作が少し不便ではあります。
ゲームの内容としては、FEやオウガシリーズ、スパロボなどSRPGが好きな人には刺さると思います。

### 5/5 — Wargroove 2

*2026-02-21*

Top sehr schönes Spiel mit taktischen Einheiten

**Developer response:** Danke!

### 3/5 — Needs a usability overhaul

*2026-02-14*

I wanted to love this game, but the UI leaves a lot to be desired. Feels like a console game ported to a phone with no consideration for usability. As far as the game itself goes it’s solid but I won’t be playing it with my friends as I had hoped because the interface is terrible for fingers.
