### 4/5 — I would very much so enjoy changing factions

*2023-07-01*

I don’t think I would spend the 25$ for the usual events tog er the change card but I also can’t see myself spending 10k of my crystals towards it I understand it’s a big deal but maybe give everyone a 1 time change to just make up for the fact that you may not love the legion you choose to begin after playing awhile a 1 time free for ever player change would vastly improve my experience and increase my chances of spending more cash in the future I just can’t stand the dark angel green I tried so hard to get past it because of their stats but I really need to switch to blood angels or ultra marines to fully get my enjoyment out of this game but after 3k crystals spent to warp after getting kicked and attempted to be farmed by a clan I only have 3k left

### 4/5 — Be real about your expectations

*2023-03-21*

Listen guys, let's be real. Stop looking for a game that ain't so much P2W, they're all like that.
It doesn't matter what sector you're on, it just takes a group of people that are all P2W to form up an alliance and annihilate everyone else.
It took me 30 days to realize that, even though I was very very active due to work from home and keep things moving, it got to a point where it was a second job. 
Steer away, it's addictive. It ain't a time killer, it's a time stealer. 
I'm rating it 4 stars because of all the base building games this is the most straight forward that I've seen and simple. Unfortunately, the amount of events going on, the competition, it's very very hard to keep up unless you put in $$$ which is still mind boggling to me how so many people are willing to throw away dozens and hundreds of dollars into mobile games like these.
I'm going to look for a paid mobile game instead even if it's single player. 
Met fun people, was fun while it lasted but don't let games steer you away from your goals and spending quality time with people and enjoying life. Life is out there, not here. Time flies guys, spend it wisely.

### 2/5 — Could be great…but

*2023-02-23, version 2.16.2*

It’s basically a clash of clans in space with Warhammer 40K skins. It has some potential however, it falls short because after BB20, to contend you must spend a lot of money, or farm until it gets too boring to play. The other problem is, sectors are short lived before they die. They get over ran with P2P players who rush to BB40, basically take over the entire sector, and turn you into a farm. They did take some action to make some resources protected, but it doesn’t save your army from being decimated by a barge with T9 troops, and you’re protecting with T5-6. The community can also be very toxic, their is a lot of political arguments due to most of the player base being from the Russian areas. So there’s a lot of Ukraine vs Russia animosity, and it just gets old. Sadly the devs ignore this ongoing issue by failing to ban toxic players even when the game has a report function , nothing happens. So if you like being someone’s farm, or have capability to spend $1000+ on the game, and can handle a toxic environment, if not, then find something else to play.

### 5/5 — For fun less work

*2023-02-14, version 2.16.2*

It’s getting hard to keep interest in game soon as I have troops to mine or do events , and player with a mass deference in power wipes out troops, can’t mine to gain resources to make new troops fast enough, can’t level up as resources are used for the troops replacement than building. In other games if played for over five years like Star truck fleet command, a player can only attack or be attacked within two ranks up or down, this game would be like a 35 and only be hit buy 33 to 37. Giving that player time to build up before popping to the next level. 

Love the game does not make sense why imperial forces are killing players of the imperium, would of thought it be like WOW hard vs alliance.

### 4/5 — READ THIS FRIST SERIOUSLY

*2022-12-22, version 2.15.0*

This is a great warhammer game with a real grind to gain forward granted you will take a seriously long time to progress forward without spending money on speed ups and micro transactions. 
Still worth a try if your into warhammer. 
Community is complete garbage it’s over filled with people who’ve been playing for a while and spending serious money on this game be careful playing there is a big majority of players getting newbies to build up as much resources as possible and getting them to join their alliance and have them move their base close to the alliance base and once your newbie shields drop they will drop you from alliance and barrage you endlessly and taking all that you have. BE CAREFUL ALMOST EVERY ALLIANCE DOES THIS I RECOMMEND YOU PLAY THIS GAME WITH SOMEONE WHOSE ALREADY BEEN PLAYING A WHILE THIS GAME IS NOT FOR THE UNAWARE EXTREMELY TOXIC COMMUNITY. But that’s the dark world of warhammer no hero’s no good guys. 

ONLY WAR

### 1/5 — It’s starting to die.

*2022-12-18, version 2.14.0*

I’ve been playing for over a year and I love 40K, I’ve put around 45k in USD down on the game, I’m VIP 16, all my heroes are nearly maxed out, etc. the game caters too much to the big spenders, I’ve seen people instantly unlock the highest troop tier possible then turn around and wipe entire alliances off the map because they were bored. There’s only 7 or 8 free to play heroes who are immediately outclassed and outgunned by paid heroes. My server is dying again just because Maelstrom matching is so toxic nobody has a chance, how are you supposed to fight someone with 1.3 Billion power when the largest march you can throw out at once is no more than 18-20 million power, mind you rallies have max sizes too. It takes (with maxed out tech,) 20:15:00 to produce 270 T9’s for 210k roughly power. Don’t pick it up, just play tactics or stick to table top, the customer support team doesn’t even respond anymore.

### 1/5 — Forced PVP

*2022-10-20, version 2.11.0*

As has been mentioned by other players, you are at the mercy of the server whales. There is no defense against these other players, so you spend most of your time recovering from attacks, which takes days. Developers, why are there no servers for PVE only? Why is there no automatic shield after attacks like in Clash of clans? Your game becomes pointless when a player can’t progress because level 40 players with level 100 heroes come stomping around to let you know that you’re only there to feed them.

The developer responds edit: you want to know what my problem with your game is? Did you read my review? Forced Player vs player or PVP. All players are forced to play on a server with other players whose power level is far beyond their own. These high level players can do whatever they like with little to no repercussions. New or low level players can be attacked multiple times by these high level players making it nearly impossible to advance. Why? Because every time you’re attacked your power level is reduced dramatically. This makes it difficult to do even the most mundane tasks because a player no longer has the troops to do them. And recovering your power level takes DAYS. Logging in to see your battle barge on fire and your power level you worked so hard for (by logging in day after day and committing time to doing so) be destroyed isn’t my idea of fun.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear your disappointment with our game, and we hope to have the opportunity to apologize for this. Please tell us the main reasons for your dissatisfaction with this product, so that we can improve the quality of it. Thank you for your support and understanding!

### 5/5 — Most balanced base building game

*2022-10-01, version 2.11.0*

I’ve been playing for a few weeks and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. These base building games are just copies of eachother, built and designed to be cash grabs. This one is the most balanced I’ve ever played. Whether youre a f2p player or you want to spend money, theres something for everyone in this game. As long as you remain active and get in a good alliance you can absolutely compete in all the events and get great rewards. Def you should give this a try if you’re into these kinds of games. If you’re a warhammer fan you’ll especially love the story and the lore in this game as well.

### 2/5 — Lower your expectations and you’ll be fine

*2022-09-07, version 2.11.0*

It’s the Wild West. Sure even if you join an alliance you’ll be safer but there’s nothing stopping a 28 crushing a 10 or any person on a lower level repeatedly if you’re occupying a space they want. The math also doesn’t add up in the Challenge Mode PVP events. Server 163 is a cesspool, you spend 11hrs building a level 5 unit and the hospital overflow isn’t good either so you lose everything quickly and it takes forever to get back even if you make purchases. At least those are small change but still, it’s a joke. Like I said at your own risk but when you’re not getting your base kicked in the game modes get repetitive and dull.

### 5/5 — Amazing game but…

*2022-08-08, version 2.9.0*

I have 9 legendarys but can only use 3 because if you get a rare legendary you have to star it up which is even harder than getting the character itself . I think legendarys should be a lot stronger that blue character who have stars . My shrike should be 10x stronger than a blue vanguard who has 5 stars. What I’m saying is stars should not be such a huge factor in power boosts or should be buffed for legendary characters. I’m power lvl 2million in game so i some what experience. Overall a very good game.9.8/10 p.s I should be able to use choas characters and choas prime arch’s. This game would attract so many new players if you’d let them pick at least what faction they’d like to side with. And those could then be used for more events like choas vs Space marines or something along the lines of that.
