All the controls are broken and it’s just unplayable on mobile. I see people play on pc and it looks fun but not for mobile. Like why put this on mobile if you can’t make it work right? Not trying to be rude but it’s true. Either fix it or remove it from mobile and make it only on pc. ### 4/5 — Love it but some problems. *2023-07-21* I love this game Just so satisfying to watch. But there’s a couple glitches Whenever I scroll on any menu in game it moves the map to so I always have to move it back. And I don’t know if you can actually do anything besides just watch but if so pls tell me :) ### 4/5 — Good game, but could be better *2023-07-20* This game is pretty good, but there are some problems with the controls. First of all, when I try to make a country have more land area, it leaves these little areas of land that are just really spaced out which makes me a little frustrated. Second of all, when I save a scenario like my WW2 with ottoman map, it doesn’t show up when you tap the scenario button, which is kind of off if you ask me. I’d give this 4 stars because I like the concept and the game is really fun! Sincerely, geography nerd ### 3/5 — Needs to be more mobile friendly *2023-07-17* This game seems amazing but it seems you just copy and pasted the pic version to mobile. It needs many things like a better zoom feature, fixed menus so we don’t click through them, and general mobile friendly feature. This game has great potential though. ### 3/5 — DEVELOPER PLEASE READ⚠️ *2023-07-16* I like this it’s actually a pretty good game, but my major flaw is trying to find out the setting where could see the gold. I cannot find the button to see the gold. I’ve been wondering this whole time how much gold does Tunisia have a much gold does Russia have and I can never find the gold. Thank you for reading this ### 3/5 — Wierd controls, simulating scenarios are gone? *2023-07-10* The controls are funky and wierd but when you choose a scenario to simulate you randomly don’t get them anymore that’s a problem but not a bad game at all it totally does seem a good game to start off but then the controls make you loose the map in instant touches. And the the scenarios are completely gone when you just click one to simulate it’s like if you only choose one and have to make it yourself like hello??? ### 5/5 — Great Game!!! This is the best game  ‍ ‌ *2023-07-08* I really like the game but one thing I want game need to adjust itself, if a country like Russia, China and US should have more troops in base, I know it's for equalness but in the same time the land is too big that these country unable to held off attack from neighbor countries, as well need multiple ways to earn golds too.    ​ ### 5/5 — Good war strategie game​ ‍ *2023-07-08* This is absolutely one of the best strategy games I have ever played. At first I had a wrong impression about it. But I changed my mind quickly. The game mechanics are very versatile, giving players more freedom. There is a good variety of units + every unit can be upgraded + here you really have to decide what kind of units you need more, so one can't just buy every kind of unit and become a god. There is the retreat option and I really love it. The idea of suburbs, complex infrastructure, it's all amazing and exactly what I needed in a strategy game like this.    ​ ### 5/5 — Great slow paced strategy game    ‌‍ *2023-07-08* This game is great. But, it can be better. Instead of the daily consumption of resources by units the units could go to a city with an army base in order to get repaired. Ships take ages to heal, easy solution is to add shipyards which repair the ship over time more quickly. Same as if you need resources you spent on a ship and you don't need the ship anymore you can‌‌ ### 5/5 — Perfect game​        ‌ *2023-07-07* This is probably the best long term strategy game I have played on a mobile device. If you are looking for a game that will be over in 5 minutes or even a day, this is not the game for you. However, if you like to have long term strategy and don't mind taking the time to actually build-up an army then..... Welcome To The Carnage!!!  ‍ ### 5/5 — This game is fun ai war simulator *2023-07-07* Very, very good game. Highly recommended. I've been playing for years on P.C before it came out on mobile.. The game takes months to learn and years to master. Even then they are always releasing new units, some of which will change the game dramatically and you will have to adapt. In the years I've played I can only confirm of a few cases were I suspect players to have used gold. As long as you become a good player you won't even notice players that use gold because you will overwhelm them ​   ​ ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing   ‌ *2023-07-07* People say this game is pay to win, as well as many of Bytro's other games. This game is NOT pay to win. You need to be a good strategist to win, and I've won by making smart alliances and good technological focuses. The mechanics are well, and I believe this game has great potential. In other games by Bytro, I've even won as Poland, forming a strong Miedzymorze. Keep up the great work! ‌  ‌  ‍ ### 5/5 — Udhdjnd‍‌  ​ *2023-07-07* I have an idea to make this game better, let's start up with make a player can do trading resources with other player. Another is Update a new avatar for infantry units when upgrade to the next rank just like Motorized unit have. Last thing is add on another skill for intel war such as cyberattack or hacking data/resources. Thats all my ideas & i hope you can make it better games. Thank you.    ‍‍‌ ### 5/5 — Great Game   ​ *2023-07-07* Don't let the negative reviews from these people who couldn't figure out the game discourage you. I have NEVER had a problem with this game, with any purchase of gold, or anything!! True, I may not buy gold very often, but when I do, it's always there. Sure, it would be nice to have a faster mode than the 4x games, but hey, it's a fun, competitive game, and there are a lot of great people playing it!! Oh, and although purchasing gold can help you win, it is NOT NECESSARY in order to win....​    ‌ ### 5/5 — It’s like online Risk     ​‌ *2023-07-06* Very fun. I was worried it would be P2W way too much, however it is very possible to rack up free gold in large amounts I am F2P and have won many games or made it to top 3(even in 20th place you could still get gold). Even the fastest setting games can take out to two weeks to finish. I love the amount of strategy, planning, and realistism that goes into the game. Every game is different from the last. I would love to see a ×4 for the USA map however! ‍ ### 5/5 — Fun    ‍‌ *2023-07-06* Pros: If you get a good alliance together you can overcome gold spenders, addictive game, love the range of units. Love the interactive element Cons: Abuse can occur in the chats. Someone spending lots of money easily dominates so it can be abit pointless. Extremist comments in chat - no way to report. Whilst offline sometimes units don't defend (especially navy) But Im addicted to this game.    ‍ ### 4/5 — DEVELOPER READ THIS *2023-07-03* So the game is great and another thing you can add is that you can become one of the AI and plays down your soldiers choose to attack people it would be so cool and also the building feature is a little wonky. When you click start, it already puts down land that you don’t want to put down. So if you added that that would be a great add-on for this game in my opinion, so if you would make this, this would be awesome thank you for reading this. ### 4/5 — Good gameplay, horrible user interface *2023-07-02* The gameplay is excellent but the user interface and interactive stuff is really difficult to press on mobile and sometimes glitches. Especially when trying to brush. When trying to move around it’s weird, not like other war games with maps it’s very different, some times when I move about or both my fingers are on the screen it would move me out of the map into a blank brown screen and won’t go back. Maybe add a zoom options when you use both fingers. The user interface really needs a change as it’s the same one on pc aswell, maybe rework it for mobile. ### 5/5 — Love this game and might have idea‌ ‍ ​ *2023-06-23* I really love this game it so much fun. That I love the strategy and the coordination in the team. That I was wondering why not add something that when you conquer huge land with your allies you can split of the land. Like press the lands that you want to give to your allies so that there army are not spread apart. So yeah that’s just my suggestion hope you read it. ‌ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads 🤦 *2023-07-11* This is a good simulation game however, the ads are absolutely insane. You get 30 seconds to 1-minute ads every 30-50 seconds of playing. (guessing, but it’s very close together) The skip ads purchase is $20 to go ad-free, and there is a subscription to skip 1-minute ads for $4. I get having ads, but having this much and making you pay $20 to go ad free is wild, not to mention the weird bugs you have with the UI on mobile. If you want to play, get the desktop version. ### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS THE SPAWN OF SATAN ITS TERRIBLE *2023-06-19* If you try to create a scenario if I you spawn a country like 3 others will spawn somewhere else if you try to rename it or something. Other features are broken and in total it is a terrible game. Also their are adds all the time which pisses me off and it should have never existed. It has potential if the developers will fix all of those problems. However I don’t think they ever will. ### 1/5 — Not possible to have fun. *2023-06-08* The controls are so bad, you try to paint county land and it makes you spawn another one! Also if you hold to fingers which sometimes you have to it deletes the map! There is also not enough pre made scenarios there is a world one and Europe from the 1930s I want a modern day Europe since I’m not a history enthusiast, and when I try to make my own scenarios it will always find a way to glitch by spawning random country’s capitals in random places or just deleting the map like I said if your reading this whole it’s downloading stop the download it will only be stressful and you will not have any fun ### 1/5 — Bad game *2023-06-07* This game is very bad. When I am trying to rename something in the rename menu it spawns nations where I click so I can’t rename nations without spawning 3 nations. Also the buttons are almost impossible to press and I can only edit a nation right after I made it other wise the button doesn’t work. Also the setting are very limited and they should add way more like a different option to zoom in because the current way is really annoying. ### 1/5 — My thoughts *2023-05-20* I found this game from a youtuber called Drew Durnil. As soon as this came out I immediately downloaded it. But it has major problems. Whenever you would try to rename a country, the button would disappear. Or when you would press a button it would spawn a country for some reason, even if it is disabled. I hope they fix this soon. ### 1/5 — Not sure how to work controls *2023-05-11, version 8* I was so excited to play this game since I have seen YouTubers play it before so I downloaded it but I was disappointed because I couldn’t find out how to start my simulation since I was on mobile the only way I could start a simulation was making my own scenario I also didn’t know how to pause my simulation neither could I found out how to unpause my simulation the map editor was also confusing and I couldn’t move around the screen at all it also has lots of ads that can be super annoying it needs some improvements ### 1/5 — Too annoying *2023-05-03, version 8* You HAVE TO make a unpause button because you can’t unpause it on the sonarios. You HAVE TO make it possible to name the nations. You HAVE TO MAKE NO ADS WHATSOEVER If these were fixed I would be so happy ### 1/5 — The ugliest and dumbest game in the world *2023-04-23, version 8* When you the dumb game you will get so many adds and can’t play it it’s a waste of time so please don’t download this ugly stupid game i hate the game and waste of time play something better ### 1/5 — The worst Mobile game I played *2023-04-22, version 8* The issues are when I tap delete nation it deletes The nation under the button no the country you wanted to delete and when you press delete nation on the water of the Maps it doesn’t work and when you tried to color a country‘s borders or something when I click it it guess the country under the button like I was trying to get Germany but it got the Soviet Union ### 1/5 — Barley works *2023-04-17, version 7* There’s to many ads plus it does not work you can’t paint the countrie half of the time and you can zoom at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It needs multiplayer   ‍  ‌‌ *2023-07-14* This game is really fun and not a ad after every thing you do like other games this one is really fun I would recommend if you don’t want games that are ad hungry and money hungry like there’s some ad but not like ads after a level like twelve times this is a really good game keep it up ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever! Though, I have a few things. ​​     ​ *2023-07-14* This is very good. I like the strategy involved, sometimes I lose based on how I play, a lot of times I win though. I feel like winning is a bit too easy. Also some more stuff would be nice I played through like 5 levels before it started looping so if you could go to different countries and stuff that would be really cool!  ‌ ‌  ‍ ### 5/5 — Great game++    ‍ *2023-07-13* ="Great game love playing it only down thing i dont like is when you do the draw using diamonds and you draw something you already have it doesn’t give you anything so you basically waste 25 diamonds it would be better if you didnt draw duplicates or at least let you merge them to get better tanks and people"‌     ‍​ ‌ ### 5/5 — Absolutely phenomenal game‌ ​ ‍ *2023-07-11* For a grand strategy game, this one is superb. I personally prefer longer games. My only gripe is that the cities could use work. If a city could tell you which province it's getting resources from, like components/supplies, that would help immensely due to some icons being in odd locations making it difficult to discern which province is giving those special resources. ​ ### 5/5 — love it startegie game    ‍ ​ ‍ *2023-07-10* The game's great but I ,think its pretty slow in terms of production of resources and in deployment of forces . Other than this I, think there are many people who want to chose their own country but can't due to someone else choosing it . I think there should a solo game too where u get to decide what country u are . But you will be playing it offline. Other than these issues I, think the game's great    ‌  ​ ### 5/5 — Great ai war simulator game *2023-07-10* This game is honestly amazing it is super fun and easy (if you have a big country) if you are looking to play this GET IT. Bonus if your a big war fan even after that there is NO ADS it is amazing if you get it you will have fun now there are a few down sides it takes up a lot of time and you may get bored some times but if that's the case play the 4x gammode it is 4 times faster this. game is suitable for children even though it's a war game      ‌ ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-07-09* This game is good on PC and mobile, please don’t listen to other people saying it’s hard to press buttons, they need to stop using a Samsung smart fridge and get a real device ### 5/5 — Deal  ‍ *2023-07-09* Absolutely love this game! I deffinently think there is a few things to work out still but regardless, such an amazing game Edit: so it's been only a few weeks sense my review and I have givin up on the game. It frustrates me to no end that this is a pay to win game. If you are not willing to drop a fee hundred dollars in every game you play you will not come even close to victory. Ridiculous. ### 5/5 — This game is wow but can use this *2023-07-09* Ive played this game since september 2021 and im still addicted to it! Lots of variety, countries and is really fun. But i think some countries can have a few more cities and maybe more playable countries aswell. Australia can definetly have 9 or 10 cities (add adelaide,melbourne or hobart)  ‍ ‍ ### 5/5 — Great! ​       ​ *2023-07-08* This game is really fun, you get to simulate different wars and play parts in them. The only thing I am a bit disappointed about is the amount of nations that can be in a coalition. I think you should allow more players to be in coalitions. I also would like to see a private gamemode where you can have private wars with your friends‍​ ‍‌ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
