Lost it after an update on maintenance. Events are not competitive and units ground, air, and Naval are way out of whack. Good luck, graphics are great! ### 4/5 — Disappointed & tired of waiting for a real fix *2026-08-12, version 14.30.00* Been playing for 3+ years it’s a great game, awesome sound effects however many including myself have complained about the constant lag, constant freezing when in a Theatre of Conquest is just awful, the pathing is always messed up, the maps need a major overhaul. They are forgetting about the F2P players. The big spenders are taking over cap and uncapped due to the awful matchmaking it’s never balanced! Think twice before spending in this one! ### 3/5 — Brilliant but ultimately flawed by monetisation *2026-08-10, version 14.20.00* One of my top played games of all time; I started in S16 and only recently quit after five years. I have spent the most time (and money) in this game than any other. My cumulative kills across my servers is near five million, even if I never kept at one role much past one year. Early game development and early server politics and dynamics are far more interesting than the tiny incremental gains of days or weeks-long upgrades. The game used to be more viable for low spenders or f2p, and a big part of my motivation and enjoyment of the game was defeating obvious big spenders via better strategy. However, over the course of any account, the pressure increases to spend to keep up in order to have sufficient unit(s) to contribute more meaningfully. It just gets to the point where years of small bonuses from skin sets add up to give accounts quite severe advantages despite their efforts to improve the matchmaking system for the month-long Conquests. People naturally game the system in any competitive situation, so of course there are alliances that stack power from very few but strong active players… who can face alliances of many small actives that stand little chance individually or even as groups due to the simple mathematical differences in damage intensity and damage resist stats. I still had a ton of fun in this game; I ended up with lots of interesting experiences with clan members from around the world. I have been in top alliances of a server as well as led small but fighting-focused teams for lower tiers. The efficient dedicated Windows client saved my phone battery and me from carpal tunnel. The Discord community was fun, and there is a lot of depth in how one could specialize and focus their account to perform different roles. The RTS style of free movement of the units is far more dynamic and enjoyable versus older wargames that locked in a timed march to the destination in order to calculate the outcome upon arrival. The implementation of land, air and sea units and the modernization of the theme, away from the WWII origins of the game, was an interesting arc of adaptation and balancing. Unfortunately the years of providing content for “end game” players and fishing for whales has turned a strategy game into one that feels mostly like a handful of veteran players making new accounts on newer servers. Those who do not spend an inordinate amount of time both playing as well as learning how to optimize and build/research efficiently for their units and officers will end up with a less satisfying experience as they get constantly wrecked by those with experience or spending. I tried my best to educate and guide my peers, and there are some content creators that did a good job… but there were always incentives for less active people to just ride the coattails of others. Lilith could have done more to develop stat tracking to show the “career” accomplishments of individuals and alliances to truly encourage more competitive play, as well as put caps on the cumulative p2w bonuses. The separate restricted stats vs unlimited branches of conquest was a great addition, but not enough was done to encourage everyone doing their best versus making meta coalitions and simply negotiating to “share” objectives rather than see a true tournament. If there was not a whale (or several) bullying weaker accounts, there were conquests where it was too boring, and opponents rarely exited the safe zone or actively fought. At the end of the day there is no other game quite like Warpath. It is the closest mobile game to an old favourite from Nexon called Shattered Galaxy, which had one of the earliest executions of an always-active RTS with persistant world and territorial conquest, and a focus on the action of controlling a squad rather than any construction. If Lilith was to obtain the rights to that game and develop a modernised version of it, they may be uniquely qualified to pull it off well, and I would also dedicate a few years to it… until it becomes too pay to win. ### 1/5 — Lived two days on noob server *2026-08-07, version 14.20.00* I spent a decent amount of money on the game in my two days of life on a rookie server, before a whale with two accounts came and destroyed our entire alliance. We were the second largest on the map and he did so in just a few hours. It’s easy to see why Google says the game is for veterans, as almost no new players are joining any longer. ### 1/5 — Connectivity *2026-08-04, version 14.20.00* Constantly losing connection, many times in the midst of a battle, so frustrating. Connecting to server….. connecting to server……. Connecting to server…… connecting to server…… ### 1/5 — Mr Nop *2026-08-03, version 14.20.00* Don’t even try to become factory of money only on the benefits of spenders who like to play only against weak players in lower battlefield as long the developers are just ignoring the game should be balanced and atractiv as it was years ago I been play for 4 years but all that strategy and hard work is removed from a player who like spending money I one month and reach the level ### 1/5 — Impossible to play *2026-08-03, version 14.20.00* Awful game. Impossible to play as you can’t find any levels to play. Advert makes this game look awesome. Don’t know about others but I like to download games so I can play them. Will delete this immediately ### 1/5 — Verification reward *2026-07-30, version 14.20.00* This is an annoying part of the game and it has now become impossible to carry on as it now will not let me carry out the verification as it will not load the next step ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2026-07-28, version 14.20.00* The way they depict the gameplay in the ads for this game is nothing like the actual gameplay ### 1/5 — Updated reworking *2026-07-28, version 14.20.00* What happened to the fighter planes, the artillery, the warships, what happened to all the progress made on this it was amazing before, why!?!? ### 1/5 — Plagiat *2026-07-23, version 14.20.00* Une copies exact d’un autre jeux ### 1/5 — Shame on u *2026-07-22, version 14.20.00* This game allows players bully smaller players when suggestions are made they say we will send that to our development lead they don’t care all they want is money money money they won’t do a damn thing I think it’s time to start a boycott ### 1/5 — FAKE GAME *2026-07-20, version 14.20.00* Do not download this game it’s a lie ### 1/5 — Warpath realistic review *2026-07-19, version 14.20.00* This game is like playing a sandbox game without being able to anything in the sandbox. You can’t move your own character when your in 1st person, there will be 3 enemies standing there and you shoot 1 of them and the other 2 stand there like nothing happened, I could see potential in this game if a major update came out. It just feels like your so restricted on everything in this game it makes it not fun. had it downloaded for 2 hours and removed it. ### 1/5 — Trash Game *2026-07-18, version 14.20.00* This game is not what it is advertised to be. The storyline is so whack and the missions are cakewalk. The ads for this game boast graphics and game play that you don't get. Stay away from this trash. ### 1/5 — Customer support, what customer support. *2026-07-16, version 14.20.00* Wanted to delete one of my roles and followed the step, but has deleted entirely account which had valid purchases and if you try and contact customer support it is only a robot and cannot speak to a human. Think they can just get free money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What was that about? *2026-09-01, version 14.30.00* Download game, started playing as per game instructions, then the instructions stopped. All i was left looking at was a base. Apparently i needed to assign a soldier… but how do you do that?! Anyway, i deleted it as it wasn’t anything like how it was advertised. ### 1/5 — 什么意思 *2026-08-31, version 14.30.00* 为什么中国用户不能玩你几个意思呀？ ### 1/5 — The game provider has serious fraud！ *2026-08-21, version 14.30.00* There is fraud in the game provider. They will reduce some money-purchased props in your game account without permission. When something happens, try your best to cover it up. Its payment license has been prompting fraud for a long time. When a problem occurs, we negotiate with their staff and they will only deny it. Procrastination and other means to deal with it. The best way is to directly adopt legal procedures to solve it. ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-19, version 14.30.00* I’m honestly bored of the game, ever since they added navy it’s just so boring to me. Everyone has just paid their way to get all the officers and maxed units so at this point the game is completely pointless unless you don’t have a life and spend thousands on a game. I’d recommend new people not to play this game or you’ll waste a lot of time. ### 1/5 — Advert nothing like the game *2026-08-15, version 14.30.00* Advert nothing like the game ### 1/5 — Not like the ad *2026-08-14, version 14.30.00* Totally different game ### 1/5 — Not like the ads *2026-08-12, version 14.30.00* Do not waste your time downloading game if you are expecting it to be like the ads, because it’s not. So sick and tired of these misleading ads ### 1/5 — No suppprt *2026-08-12, version 14.30.00* Can not reach in game suppprt. Automated only. I have put a lot of money in to have it freeze 2/3 times a day on phone and iPad, network lag, many issues. I am trying to report this to Apple. ### 1/5 — Game is all money *2026-08-10, version 14.20.00* Why would we need to do a subscription to unlock language translation ? ### 1/5 — Current game state *2026-08-09, version 14.20.00* I played this game around the time it first came out and it was extremely fun, I’d play it all the time. I stopped playing for a while and now it’s COMPLETELY different and nothing like the original experience and now it’s unplayable for me. Devs dropped the ball on it for sure. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sweet game *2026-08-21, version 14.30.00* Easy to follow ### 5/5 — War Game Path Game *2026-08-07, version 14.20.00* When I download this game. I was not looking for this game. I typed in war on the search bar and this came up. I expected war. But after playing it, other players spend money so it is no war because they are too strong to attack. So it’s not really a war game, more like a sit and wait and farm game. I thought it would be real war like Battlefield or call of duty type war. But even them games does not have war in their name and it’s way more war than war path. This game feels more like a chess war than a real actual war game because of not being able to fight the players that spent money. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-06, version 14.20.00* Played for 20min and fell in love with ### 5/5 — good game *2026-07-24, version 14.20.00* its fun. theres always something to do your not just sitting around waiting for things to upgrade. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-14, version 14.20.00* I was mainly raised up on war movies and a War games with my dad being army telling me stories and such this game is honestly a good vibe for me ### 5/5 — Helicopters *2026-07-09, version 14.20.00* You should make it a little easier to at least get a simple helicopter to build on it’s takes so long to build up to get it ### 5/5 — Good Game *2026-07-04, version 14.10.00* But typical you have to pay for everything ### 5/5 — Problems loading *2026-06-30, version 14.10.00* I have been playing for about 9 months and love the game but now it won’t open? I’ve tried deleting and downloading again but no matter what I do it won’t load on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Hard To Beat *2026-06-21, version 14.10.00* When you play every single game, there is on the App Store over 10 years. You will realize that this game is the best. Is Kone continuously keeping you engaged, and it makes you grind that what you want this will be the third or fourth or fifth time I’m starting a profile ### 5/5 — Requires no money to actually enjoy the game *2026-06-14, version 14.10.00* Extremely easy to operate and strategize. Over all great game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
