I’m currently in a Russian Corps. I have enjoyed the opportunity to interact the global community at large. Also I like the fact that Tacticus isn’t pay to play. While spending more money will obviously get a better account and more success in the game, the fact that competition is stratified means you can compete with players at the same level as you (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc). As a father with one kid in college and another on the way, I have limited resources I can spend on a game. That being said, that limitation has in no way impaired my enjoyment of the game. As a fan of the novels I’m glad I have. And the knowledge I’ve gain through reading has come in handy during the factions events. While being a fan of the novels can add to the enjoyment of the game, it’s also not a requirement for casual players. I hope you have as much fun as I am. Give it a try. And see you on the field of battle. ;) ### 5/5 — FOR THE EMPEROR!!! *2026-08-22, version 1.41.182* I love the war hammer franchise I love tech-marines especially and I play WH40k on Xbox too everything about this app is addicting and I’m happy I downloaded it DOWNLOAD IT BY ORDERS OF THE EMPEROR!!! ### 5/5 — Best strategy game *2026-08-22, version 1.41.182* Amazing game really enjoyed it to the point where I play it with every chance I get you must try it. ### 5/5 — Better the my first *2026-08-22, version 1.41.182* Beats Devils and Demons game, more characters, more moves, more power, more enemies. More power ups. It’s a huge game. Still a great RPG game. Beginners will even love and catch on if they have ever wanted to learn how to play any canal fantasy games. This will break you in to RPG gaming.Must read to know what’s going on though or you will be lost. ### 5/5 — Warhammer 40k *2026-08-20, version 1.41.182* Unlike irl this game doesn’t cost 150 bucks for a tiny scale match, although I love that they have hundred dollar deals in the shop to make us depressed ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-19, version 1.41.182* Great game! Been playing for 3 years! Would it be possible to get a game mode where you can play versus your friends? Kinda like the tournaments, but with private games? Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-19, version 1.41.182* Love it, good story, no hearsay larp like most of the fan base, would recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible Ad experience *2026-09-01, version 1.42.110* Other apps let you watch an advertisement in exchange for in-game content, but Tacticus will lock up once the ad has played. Support is useless too, not even giving the proper directions to address the problem. Login also fails if you attempt to report any issue. ### 1/5 — Whale paradise *2026-08-26, version 1.41.182* If you haven’t been playing since day 1, good luck. On top of that everything is purchase or energy gated, meaning you log in for an hour a day after a certain point just to spend the energy to get upgrades without actually playing the game. Designed by a greedy corpo directly influenced by Games Workshop ### 1/5 — Internet connection bug *2026-08-24, version 1.41.182* Randomly won’t let me do anything because I’m “not connected to the internet” despite my WiFi being unaffected ### 1/5 — Lack of actual tactics *2026-08-23, version 1.41.182* A lot of negatives in this game right now. Since the mythic drop it’s only gotten worse. Rng heavy bosses will make you feel like you’re wasting your time as you have so many hours between tokens. Each new boss is only becoming more rng heavy looking at you Lion/Magnus/Toilet seat king. Rewards for some modes have been diminished with them stating that others will get more. The issue is the other stores don’t sell the same items creating bottle necks. They took orbs away from GR meaning they have to be brought in the GR shop which is also where you can buy exp books. So you have to make a choice on which one to buy which wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t need so many. The new conquest mode is just a shop with some ladders attached to encourage people to spend. The shops had 19 seperate sales a few days ago. Old characters are in need of reworks due to power creep, yet they don’t address that and instead release them at a rate no one can keep up with. This is barely the surface of issues in this game currently. Play if you want, but this is just an honest warning. ### 1/5 — The worst multiplayer in gaming history *2026-08-20, version 1.41.182* Here’s some advice, don’t leave your spawn. The person that attacks first ALWAYS wins, whether it’s against Npc’s or actual players, this game has no strategy or fun when you go online, just play the campaign or guild stuff. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-08-19, version 1.41.182* If you have a bunch of money to spend this game is for you. Every event is tailored to the player who spends the most money. If you don’t spend at least $350 you have no edge in any war, event, guild raid, campaign and anything else. Your stuck behind an energy bottleneck where you Litterally can’t progress unless your spending $20 there and $50 there every day. Great game just wish the devs weren’t so goddamn greedy. ### 1/5 — Garbage game *2026-08-19, version 1.41.182* Absolute trash, not worth the time to install. ### 1/5 — Pay to play game *2026-08-18, version 1.41.182* If you want to have fun, be prepared for 30 minutes maybe if you aren’t drawing it out and then 100’s of dollars of in game items with 40 bucks being maybe enough to get a quarter of the way anywhere, they have deals but most of it is pay to win slop, I only play cause of the nerd aspect but don’t play if you don’t have money to boost yourself otherwise it will take months to get anywhere and everyone else is already so much farther ahead ### 1/5 — No balancing *2026-08-16, version 1.41.182* You’d think that fighting a boss enemy would be fun but there is no balancing to speak of so on the first turn your whole team (whom is above the recommended levels to survive) instantly dies and you just sit there confused. Terrible pile of garbage that gives warhammer a bad name don’t even bother installing, trust me this game is just a waste of ram and phone resources. ### 1/5 — Fanboy ratings *2026-08-15, version 1.41.182* Pay to win and only has this rating because it’s Warhammer in name… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-31, version 1.41.182* For the emperor! ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-08-31, version 1.41.182* Warhammer 40k at its best. ### 5/5 — Every time I play this game it’s always been fun *2026-08-27, version 1.41.182* I LOVE THIS 😅👍👍🧌 ### 5/5 — No forced ads here! *2026-08-26, version 1.41.182* I am really enjoying Tactics. The best thing is there are no forced ads! so you're not constantly interrupted while playing. There are in-app purchases available, but they're not necessary to progress, which makes the game feel much more player-friendly. Time is controlled by energy and tokens which takes time to regenerate but is fair. The acquisition of characters is random and can be frustrating at times but that is is a fun game to guess how many certus tokens you get. I would advise people to: - sign up to the Tactician’s Club - wait until you have 10 requisitions scrolls - keep an eye out for codes on various sites like Tacticus codex ### 5/5 — Good Gameplay *2026-08-25, version 1.41.182* Spent a decent amount of time in-game so far. Made some progress. The story is pretty good. I just wish there was more of a challenge early on. I feel strong and am leveling up fairly quickly; but that because it’s pretty simple. Maybe it will crank up later. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Character creation is cannon and good too. 5/5 ### 5/5 — Cannot give it up *2026-08-25, version 1.41.182* Exactly a good game, don’t really need to pay, but with severe Chinese translation problems. How can I contact snowprint for advice? ### 5/5 — Glitch *2026-08-24, version 1.41.182* Getting a glitch saying I’m not connected to the Internet when I try to play a mission or use requisitions. Fun game though ### 5/5 — My opinion and my recommendations *2026-08-24, version 1.41.182* Great game but should change the apearence of titus and his title. Should also change the salvation menu to look like the onslaught one. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-24, version 1.41.182* I have been playing since like last year at August and I can’t get enough of the game because of how everything works and how make you feel like you accomplished something like if you get stuck on a level and then you upgrade your people and learn from it it makes you feel like you earned it ### 5/5 — Rise of khan *2026-08-24, version 1.41.182* This is a awesome 40K game it’s definitely a way to play new characters. I would love to see white scars in this the khans are a powerful force and should get some play time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
