You have to take command over the combined forces of the Allies, plan and implement the operation, which will go down in history.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DomiNations holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DomiNations has 39K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of DomiNations's written reviews are positive against 88% of Second World War Western Front's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DomiNations ships an update every 2 weeks, Second World War Western Front monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
