I do love the fact that you can change the Factions. Although I dislike that there are no planes or any vehicles of the such. I also dislike there no being immovable or stationary troops. There are some good mechanics like the rag dolls, and the sound is great for what it is. One of the main problems is that any troop no matter what it is, after they die the bodies/tanks despair after two seconds. I really dislike this because it ruins my immersion and isn't realistic. Past all of it, WW2 Battle Simulator is a great and well thought out game! ### 4/5 — My review *2019-01-25, version 1.5.1* I love this game and there are not that many games like this that are not as good as this one. Some things that could be added is japan soldiers and chinese soldiers since they were fighting each other but really i think there could be more country’s added but overall, this game is fantastic!!!! ### 4/5 — Very great but it needs more factions *2019-01-13, version 1.5.1* We all love it how you can surround the enemy buy expensive epics but I feel that you should add more factions more units like Britain japan or maybe even Italy! Theirs so much Russian and American weapons you left out and lots of popular tanks my point is this game is getting boring and bland with only 3 factions so maybe you could make a more factions update and maybe make deployable bunkers and traps so I hope that you could read this and improve in the future ### 5/5 — Games great but one problem *2019-01-01, version 1.5.1* One problem for this game is we shouldn’t just keep pressing the screen to deploy units. There should be putting ur finger on the screen and slide it to deploy units That’s all I ask for ### 4/5 — Needs more updates *2018-12-27, version 1.5.1* I love this game as it fun and entertaining to use different kinds of units to battle one another but I wish there would be more nations to choose from beside US, Germany, and Russia. Maybe British, French, Italian, Japan, etc. Plus seeing how there are structures in the campaign why not in custom as well. Anyways it’s a fun game not gonna lie but I just want to see more. ### 5/5 — Great game, no complaints, just a lack of content *2018-12-23, version 1.5.1* Been waiting for a good WWII based battle simulator to come out on mobile. This is certainly it. But the 10,000 gems for an epic is absurd and should be lowered or the rate at which you gain gems should be increased, like giving us 100 for a custom game The only things I can really say are lackluster is the sound design and the UI, they feel a bit lazy, but I can live through it. Some content I’d like to see is a bit of balance in troops, the Germans need mortars, the Germans and Americans could use a flamethrower. For all factions, maybe stuff like area healing medics and commanding officers for all factions if that’s possible. It would also be cool to see the Japanese and British as factions. A starter for the Japanese could be Banzai chargers which rush with insta kill bayonets, and Foxholes which can be invulnerable while underground. With typical stuff like their Ariasakas and Type 100’s and the sort for regular weapons ### 5/5 — The game *2018-12-17, version 1.5.1* Honestly I love the game but but can add more stuff like let the tanks use there machine gun and add more units and more maps and the ability in custom to build stuff like towers or cover or my favorite a trench and you can add stuff to the trench like machine guns and you know etc. ### 5/5 — Please oh please! *2018-12-15, version 1.5.1* Please make the epics free and just make them armored faction or make them be 100 gems or 300 please they cost to much! If there were 1 minute videos to keep the epics forever I would do that until I have every epic please do something! ### 4/5 — Love this game!!!But... *2018-12-11, version 1.5.1* This game is really fun but it would be nice if there were trench’s and other buildings on battlefields. Also it would be amazing if you could choose where to move your soldiers during the battle instead of them just attacking. ### 4/5 — Very Good, but Needs More *2018-11-10, version 1.4.2* Excellent concept of a battle simulator, but needs more like: Defensive mode, Obstacles (nature and military), Snowy map, & Planes; if you can do that. If you guys did an update with these options, then I’ll change my rating to 5-stars and I will appreciate the update. ### 4/5 — More objects and stuff *2018-11-10, version 1.4.2* Look I am a really big WW2 fan and I love this game I recommend it to you battle simulator gamers but anyways I’ll cut to the chase it could use some work I have been thinking about the producers of the game add the French army and British army and maybe the Italian army and Japanese army and also you should add like tank traps, trenches, houses, mines, etc. and add some more maps if you can do that I would play this game all the time!!! Anyways it’s a pretty good game and it needs some work thank you if you got this message and I hope you can add this to the game. Again thank you Yours truly Some person on the internet lol PS please and this to the game! ### 4/5 — Great game so far. But, please read *2018-10-30, version 1.4.2* Great game. Lovely online modes. Playing with friends. But please, if there is 1 thing I could ask for in the game. It would be to add the ferdinand/elefant to the game for Germany. Would be great, thanks. You should also add the PanzerWerfer rocket launcher since all other nations except Germany get one. But please add ferdinand/elefant. Please. No one listens to me ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2018-10-27, version 1.4.1* Great game but maybe add like sandbags walls bunkers and mountains and be able to save custom stages you’ve made but his game is awesome I have been waiting for a game like this and it is up to date but the online training doesn’t have server responses allot and you get disconnected from the game but other than that awesome game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Needs more *2021-08-13, version 1.7.0* So in the training thing it said I won but it wasn’t giving me gold they got my base and I lost is it a bug? And there’s only 3 maps and there’s only the us jermans and Soviets please add more like France or something but really good game ### 3/5 — Thank you, but... *2018-09-30, version 1.3.2* I love this game because it’s basically the only good world war 2 battle simulator. Thank you for creating this but many things need to be fixed. First, you need to use the drag feature so you can place rows of enemies/allies. And have the panning be swiping with 2 fingers. Second, the simple infantry ex. Riflemen, assault troopers. Need to not throw grenades. Make a separate troop or else they ruin the point of the troop. Third, please make more maps. Instead of just the town and beach. Do like a snow map or town ruins or in streets and deserts, etc. And fourth, please put in place able barriers ex. Hedgehogs, Barbed fences, low walls, trenches, sandbags, sniper towers, etc. please keep up the work, keep this game fresh, keep improving, and please don’t give up on this game. This game is too good for you to give up on it. I see so much potential. Thanks for this game in early stage. Please make it better, or the best!😀 ### 3/5 — Good, needs lots of updates still *2018-08-05, version 1.3.0* I love the game, but it is still missing alot of features. In WW2 the Sherman tanks were actually really bad Please add more maps like Battle Of The Bulge, Stalingrad, Paris, Berlin, make another village but in winter, the D Day map needs to be one side on the sea, and one in the bunkers and behind, add a map with trenches where the troops can move trenches, add a Japanese map, an African map, and (optional) Pearl Harbor Map, and (optional) sea maps. The game needs realistic Radius for explosives and make the tanks realistic. The game can also use more units: Flamethrower units, officers with pistols, Air Units, AA guns, if you do the sea levels sea ships, medics, and paratroopers if you add Air units. There are issues too: I cant use some units because the Attack button is blocking the unit, so please make it so that I can scroll between units, and make it so we can have custom names. the game doesn't have enough factions: It could use the UK, Italy, Japan, France which comes with their military and resistance and maybe more. That is all I can think of right now. I know its alot but please add these. Thank You ### 3/5 — Good, but needs work *2018-06-24, version 1.1.0* It’s good and fun in all, but the epics are too expensive to justify buying, if the epics were easier to acquire or cheaper in general it would make this game much more playable. Also, the lack of fortifications is sad. I wish I could place men in bunkers or in machine gun nests or even machine guns in bunkers to fire at incoming forces. These additions would be great for this game. ### 4/5 — Good but needs more updates *2022-06-02, version 1.7.0* I think this is an awesome game but the only thing I don’t like about it a lot is that in needs more nations it’s just USA USSR and Germany but it would be cool to add nations lake UK France Finland and Italy or maybe even Japan for like a pacific map ### 4/5 — Pis let me control my units *2022-04-10, version 1.7.0* All my units just go for the soldiers instead of going for the tanks cannons and all that stuff so if I can control my unit in someway or like go into one and control him that would mean the world to me ### 4/5 — Great potential but.. *2019-12-24, version 1.6.1* This game has great potential to be an amazing one, but the dread of micro transactions and pay to win mindset for better equipment drags this game down. Developers need to add more historic and iconic vehicles to play with (and maybe even a new faction). Fortifications and better path finding would also make this game excellent. ### 4/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME👍😍 *2019-06-15, version 1.6.0* I think this game is amazing game because it is the only ww2 battle simulation but this game still needs some more things. And I have a few ideas. First you should add some new maps like a Forrest a ruined town and an ocean map. Second There should be some more units like air planes and boats and trainspotter plane that parachute men in also one of the epics got the USA should be a B 17 with a nuke that takes a minute to get ready. Third there should be a unit and map creator. So like you can have a map where soldiers can go inside of building if you command them to. I know this seems like a lot of work but I believe in you guys. And also please update more recently. ### 4/5 — More stuff *2019-03-26, version 1.5.1* This game is fantastic I have been waiting for it for so long BUT there are some things I want to see. First fortifications like bunkers,trenches,barbed wire and much more. Second buildings would be quite nice to place your troops in. Third somehow make planes work in the custom part. Finally more selection of troops and epic. Make at least one of those things happen the last star is yours. ### 4/5 — Great game but needs some things *2019-03-10, version 1.5.1* The troops are good everything is awesome I think that the tanks should be able to kill more than 1 Troop at a time and there should be more maps and some trenches and barbed wire and bunker you can add for the infantry keep up the good work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game but needs more players *2022-10-14, version 1.7.0* This game is good couple balance needed but y’all need to advertise more or something it’s hard to find players ### 5/5 — Great job *2022-09-22, version 1.7.0* The game is one of the only games I have that allow me to choose to get ads and I love that because I like the ability to receive a reward for watching an ad upon my choice. I hate getting ads thrown into my face and then I don’t get anything out of it. Great game. I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone. ### 5/5 — M49 Pershing *2019-08-04, version 1.6.1* I write this review because of the M49 Pershing this Epic titled tank is a little too over-powered it takes a lot to take it down it can even survive a bomb and a hit from a 85mm cannon this is a good game in all but please nerf this tank just a little. ### 5/5 — A new weapon *2019-05-20, version 1.6.0* I love this game especially since I can make it to where is re-enacts the First World War, but this got me thinking, why not be able to place mines and barricades at an extra cost of gold? Think about it, it would either aid you in battle, or make it easier for your opponent to defeat you. It would really change everyone’s way of warfare, because many people use all epic machines instead of humans and artillery, which are technically used as “support” weapons to distract your units from the bigger threat. Please make it to where you can add in your own defenses, it would really help (a bunker would be a good choice). ### 5/5 — Do something already *2019-04-30, version 1.5.1* This game is the best game I have played, but all of these reviews are suggesting the same things. So answer and fulfill their requests. As I would like the same improvement to the game. Still amazing and totally entertaining 👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥👍👍👍😁 ### 5/5 — Good game with a lot of potential *2019-04-28, version 1.5.1* It would be nice if you were able to add new nations like japan Italy and Britain etc, it would also be cool if you had some fortification system ### 5/5 — Good overall just needs a few minor fixes *2019-04-02, version 1.5.1* The game is great so far, but I would like the people throw less grenades. Like seriously, who throws a grenade after 4 shots from their machine gun? Also would like better AI because the have a bad tendency to group up just to be blasted but a mortar, even if they started spread apart. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing 👌 *2019-03-11, version 1.5.1* I’ve been looking for a game like this for a while and I found it. Ok graphics but lots of fun, and realistic models. Only thing I wish they had was planes, that would be amazing. The multiplayer was also very fun and an interesting way to have fun online battles. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Needs defensive units and more maps, mostly just defensive units though *2019-02-14, version 1.5.1* This game is so addictive and purely amazing buy I want to see a unit category for like bunkers or mg mounts sniper nests also I want japan as a faction that would help but foremost I want more maps way more there are too few maps and would help if you added a map with like dead bodies and destroyed tanks that would be awesome thanks for listening bye ### 5/5 — Good game, here’s suggestions *2019-01-26, version 1.5.1* First off, this game is amazing, and it is one of the most creative games I’ve seen in a while. Though this game is great, I have some suggestions that could make the game better. I think that you should add more nations, like Britain or Japan, so the game can be more interesting, with Churchills fighting Ha-Go’s or something. Another suggestion I have is more game modes, like an online version of custom mode. One issue I have found is that the game lags when you have an excessive amount of troops, but it’s a unity game so what could you expect? I also would like you to boost the graphics by a bit, since on the main menu the tank/SPG on display has low quality-ness. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
