### 4/5 — Games great… could be better…fix crashing

*2023-05-16*

I’ve played on and off for years… game started crashing again last 24 hours… too many issues when the gameplay is so simple

### 4/5 — Nostalgia

*2023-04-01*

I has been playing this game around 6-7 years ago and i dropped it after sometime, and now i’ve seen it on App Store and decided to try, the game has changed a lot and its not bad tbf, the only bad thing about this game is big pay2play system, but overall this game is very fun

### 4/5 — Crashes when open

*2021-06-11, version 4.2.0*

This game crashes every single time I open it

### 4/5 — Played on and off since 2014

*2020-12-09, version 4.2.0*

It’s pretty fun but stop adding weird extra stuff I like this game for the main base and underwater base. That’s really all we need. Please update this game. The loyal few who still consistently play are left hanging. It’s on the very brink of complete irrelevance. Please Gameloft...Please

### 4/5 — Good, but needs a few fixes

*2020-09-12, version 4.2.0*

The game is very good, although there is one bot in this one server where he keeps on spamming things, and it’s very annoying.  The game itself is very good, although I think they should try and get some admins or moderators to stay a bit more active, and more reasonable please.  It may have some player issues, but the game is very good!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-09-08, version 4.2.0*

I have been playing this game for many years this game is very fun and not p2w what so ever worth playing:)

### 5/5 — Coin icon

*2019-08-24, version 4.2.0*

I love this game, but I can’t tap the COINS ICON for the NEW TAX OFFICE, please let me know that how I can fix this problem

### 5/5 — Great game but one problem

*2019-07-24, version 4.2.0*

I want to be able to restart. I have had this game in the past and I just redownloaded it but I can’t restart.

### 4/5 — The troop traits need to return

*2019-07-11, version 4.2.0*

So far the game is very good and I enjoy playing it. But since their was an update on the gay it got rid of the troop traits like the grenade, knife, pistol, and special troops on the main game. Like I said the game is enjoyable I just really hope they bring it back.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-03-22, version 4.2.0*

Have been playing this game..and enjoying every minute of it.

### 3/5 — Laggy as hell...

*2019-02-17, version 4.2.0*

I have a huge base and I can’t view my allies bases, can’t invade, and can’t open lootboxs, i also have to wait forever to do anything. I am lvl 38 and I’ve been playing this for six years and it is suddenly laggy ever since I came back to it.

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2022-02-01, version 4.2.0*

I first started to play it years ago. I stopped and then recently started to play it again. I realized the game must not auto save any longer. I’ve made so much progress in the game and when I quite and come back later to play it,  all my progress is gone. Last time I logged in I had the first couple of building, but when I was playing it I had a bunch of power plants and oil plants, witch are all gone now. Decided to give up and uninstall. The game is to much of a money grab any way.

### 1/5 — Do not waste your time

*2021-09-24, version 4.2.0*

Iv spent over 400$ into this game and now it won’t even load.  It says checking for update and will not load past that.  And if I delete the game and reinstall it’ll delete my stuff and this will be the second time.  So save yourself some time and money and don’t get this game.  This is the 3rd time Iv had to restart and probably over 800$ gone for nothing now

### 1/5 — Hackers

*2021-02-26, version 4.2.0*

This game is full of hackers and they refuse to clean it up. If you report the hackers they stop giving you rewards and in some instances they will ban you for a week. Don’t waste your time with game.

### 1/5 — Won’t even let me in

*2021-02-14, version 4.2.0*

Downloaded it and took about 10 minutes to get to finish downloading in the main screen, saying I had bad internet when I have full bars, and when it got to 100% downloaded it went to 104%. Actually bad and should never have wasted my time waiting for it to load

### 1/5 — Cursed

*2021-01-04, version 4.2.0*

The game is filled with hacker and cheaters. There are no devs, 90% of the accounts are fake ones, chat is constantly toxic. New players get torn to shreds by level 99 players. The add in so many people doing stolen valor that it’s just not worth playing.

### 1/5 — World at Arms

*2020-11-25, version 4.2.0*

I have played this game for a while and stuck with it because of good teammates.   There are a lot of cheaters but I have put up with that also but I have had about enough.  We were cheated this past Conquest and when I contacted “customer care” I got no help at all.  I sent them screen shots showing we were cheated.  Again I got Jack squat.  They had no interest in making things right.  They would not up rewards even though it just game units and rewards that don’t actually cost anything.  I very rarely complain but this was enough.  I have spent money on in app purchases in the past and I would highly recommend against spending a dime on this game.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2020-03-31, version 4.2.0*

Would be a good game if it didn’t crash after a few days of great progress this isn’t the first time the game restarted wouldn’t recommend

### 1/5 — Game has completely seized up, typical mobile game.

*2019-02-25, version 4.2.0*

Not only is this game an example of a typical mobile game using the Hedonic Treadmill (lots of starting rewards, stiffing you out on them as you progress, making it harder and harder to progress unless you pay real money for a special currency to skip ahead of the time it takes to grind stuff)

But after a long while of playing it with having not paid a cent to Gameloft, my game has somehow managed to completely seize up. Worst part is, I’ve heard from other people it happens to them too. Is the game on a timer to break your game so you can no longer play and Gameloft keeps your money? Do you smell that? I smell a class-action lawsuit.

By “seizing up”, I mean the game loads and gets into the base and everything, but nothing on the screen you tap responds at all. It’s as if the “guidance mode” of the phone is on and set to block the whole screen. This also happened on the PC version when I tried to play it after the mobile app decided to keel over and die, except on PC it decided to crash upon launch and support completely wasted my time and did not ever provide a fix.

One day Gameloft will fix this bug in their game, that day is likely years from now, but that day will come eventually... I hope.

### 1/5 — World at Arms

*2017-08-13, version 3.8.0*

I played everyday for 5+ years several hours a day. They banned me for suspicious activity three times in one week with out any proof of hacking! They said they don't need to have proof to ban me and will not give my base back! They will not ban true hackers and have proven it over and over. I have never and would never hack or cheat a game!! Do not waste your time with this game as I did. Ask anyone who has played this game for any length of time and they will say the same as I. Their updates never work and only cause more issues. Remember I warned.

### 2/5 — GC

*2021-03-08, version 4.2.0*

It’s a good game for who like a calme game to help you relax but there is a problem on the conquest we are not getting the rewards after the fight ! That must be fixed as soon possible, so I can get myn !

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-04-17*

This game is great and I recently found it again I loved it during my childhood and love it just as much now but there is a issue every time after I attack someone and go to loot their base the game gets stuck on the radar screen and then I have to manually restart the game to play and it is sucking the fun out of it :(

### 5/5 — Glitch problem

*2022-06-22, version 4.2.0*

Great game, super time consuming but I keep getting a achievement glitch that continuously pops up and everytime I confirm it it’ll wipe my progress and make me confirm the achievement redoing the process over and over again.

### 5/5 — New mode game

*2021-10-11, version 4.2.0*

Y’all should clear everything from now on we need an new update no more hacks! Please do something this game is amazing but with so many cheaters in the game.?

### 5/5 — Best game in history

*2021-08-17, version 4.2.0*

This game is the best in history I swear bro obviously one of the best games in the world.

### 5/5 — Thank for banned cheater.

*2021-08-09, version 4.2.0*

### 5/5 — Played this for years when i was like 7

*2021-07-25, version 4.2.0*

### 5/5 — BS

*2020-08-22, version 4.2.0*

This game is keeps crushing  nice game but the developers not going to fix it time to leave this game

### 5/5 — World on spam

*2020-08-03, version 4.2.0*

If you want your chat spammed by hackers and a game dominated by cheats, then this is the app for you!

### 5/5 — It’s not pay to win

*2020-04-30, version 4.2.0*

I’ve played this game for long while after it came out. I admit it gets a little bit harder to progress but that’s because ur not in a clan yet. Clans progress the game way further if ur in a good one. Personally the game is big fun.

### 5/5 — Base stolen

*2019-10-17, version 4.2.0*

I have spent the last week building a base then today all of a sudden all my base is gone with just three buildings left. WhT kind of game does that or who hacked me?
