  • story
    155 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, with players appreciating the engaging narrative and mission variety. However, many express frustration over the lengthy and restrictive tutorial phases that hinder gameplay progression, as well as the need for more missions and offline play options. While the storyline is considered good, some players feel it lacks depth and becomes repetitive, particularly as they advance through the campaign.

    • “The game is awesome, the best strategy game on the phone. I love the game so much; there's so many awesome people, and the upgrades are amazing. Really keep up the good work! I can't wait until you do more missions.”
    • “I love the details, the campaign, the title of every mission; the story is beautiful.”
    • “Great graphics and storyline, resistance faction fighting against the confederation (new world order).”
    • “The starting missions, although tutorials, are so restrictive... all I can do is what the game tells me to do, I can't even pan around... uninstalled due to restrictions on tutorials... it got boring real quick.”
    • “Let me play already without doing these long tutorial missions. Everything in the tutorial can be explained in 2 missions, but it's dragged over so many missions that I got bored. Most players don't even play for the story, and being forced to level up through it is tiring and boring.”
    • “This game doesn't deserve a star rating because it's seriously disappointing. The gameplay is boring and the campaign mode is not addictive at all. It takes too much time to upgrade or research a unit or a building, and the quest rewards are not attractive.”
  • graphics
    126 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and optimization, making it accessible even on lower-end mobile devices. Many users highlight the impressive animations and visual appeal, comparing them favorably to classic RTS titles. However, some players note that while the graphics are good, they could benefit from further updates and enhancements to keep up with modern standards.

    • “The graphics are amazing and the gameplay never gets boring for me because it is in real-time, and I like that the units are very cool.”
    • “The graphics are great and not too demanding on your phone's processing ability.”
    • “Great graphics, nice tactical challenges, everything you want in a mobile RTS; different game modes make you want to always log in as the activities never get tiring.”
    • “The graphics are decent, but when it comes to everything else, there is little positive.”
    • “Needs new graphics and less grind.”
    • “Please redesign it to modern graphics as well as user friendly.”
  • gameplay
    105 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its solid mechanics, balance, and engaging campaign reminiscent of classic RTS titles like Command & Conquer. However, several players have expressed concerns about unbalanced game mechanics, excessive reliance on pay-to-win elements, and a slow tutorial that detracts from the overall experience. While the graphics and controls are generally well-received, the presence of forced gameplay elements and monetization strategies has led to frustration among users seeking a more competitive and enjoyable experience.

    • “This game is a masterpiece in the RTS field, quite akin to C&C gameplay. The combat is perfectly balanced, with each side having their own advantages and disadvantages. There are a few things I'd like to see in the future, such as infantry being transported in vehicles and garrisoning buildings.”
    • “The gameplay is great and well adapted for mobile devices. The AI is good (better than COH3 lol) and missions are varied and fun.”
    • “The gameplay is beautiful and unique, and the graphics are very good.”
    • “80% of the gameplay for missions in Argentina are only watchable because they are cutscenes and dialogues!”
    • “The gameplay itself, including mission and tutorial missions, is nice but it's covered in uncountable layers of total annoyance forcing you to accept their upsells and ridiculous upgrades; the only goal of that is to force you to buy stuff again.”
    • “This game doesn't deserve a star rating because it's seriously disappointing; the gameplay is boring and the campaign mode is not addictive at all. It takes too much time to upgrade or research a unit or a building, and the quest rewards are not attractive.”
  • monetization
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the heavy reliance on in-app purchases (IAPs) and ads, which often feel intrusive and unbalanced. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the long and frequent ads, coupled with high-priced IAPs, create a pay-to-win environment that detracts from the overall experience. Players express frustration over the grind required to progress without spending money, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes monetization over fair play.

    • “I didn't even know this game existed; I came across it by accident and it's the closest to C&C I've come across. My only complaint is that it's not available offline. It doesn't appear to be pay-to-win, even though there are in-game purchases, but hey, this is definitely worth throwing a few dollars towards the devs for their work. They definitely need to advertise a little harder. Keep up the great work!”
    • “In-app purchases are not required to be successful!”
    • “There are microtransactions, which is normal for a free-to-play game, so I don't mind them. They just make the grind faster but don't give you an unfair advantage.”
    • “100% pay to win crippled by the usual £100 IAPs and battle pass cancer which plagues most of these games. Research is designed to sell a £50 second slot, post-mission rewards are locked behind horrific ads; 90 seconds each, unskippable, auto redirects to store and frequently bug out.”
    • “The inclusion of boosts through microtransactions, however, ruins the balance of the game and creates a pay-to-win advantage for players willing and able to afford it.”
    • “This game is highly dependent on in-app purchases. With in-app purchases in an hour, you can go the way you would have to go a month without it.”
  • stability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed feedback from users. While some players report frequent freezes during co-op and PvP modes, others praise the server stability and note that issues may stem from their own internet connections. Overall, while there are occasional freezing problems, many users have not encountered significant glitches or bugs, indicating a generally stable experience.

    • “Game is good but I am facing a problem; when I start a co-op or PvP, my game freezes.”
    • “The game freezes sometimes for unknown reasons.”
    • “Honestly, to be precise, this is the best war game I've ever played, the levels are amazing, but there's just one thing: my game freezes for a while and then quits by itself.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some appreciate the rewarding progression system and find the gameplay enjoyable, others criticize the tediousness of certain upgrades and the necessity to engage in PvP and skirmishes to advance the story. The time-consuming nature of upgrades and the requirement to reach specific levels for cooperative play have also been noted as frustrating elements. Overall, the experience of grinding varies significantly among players, with some finding it worthwhile and others feeling it detracts from the enjoyment.

    • “The gold coins can be tedious; there needs to be an update to reduce the gold coins required for in-app purchases.”
    • “Coupled with tediously time-consuming upgrades, there are times when you can't play for a few days due to an upgrade, like the level 5 headquarters that takes 5 days.”
    • “The only downside I have is that you are forced to play PvP and skirmishes to continue the story, which has become very tedious.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express a desire for the game to enhance its emotional depth, suggesting that features like character upgrades and interactive dialogue could create a more impactful experience. The inability to pick up containers is noted as particularly disappointing, highlighting a need for more engaging emotional mechanics. Overall, players seek a balance between emotional engagement and gameplay mechanics to deepen their connection to the game.

    • “My contribution was just touching where it directed me.”
    • “I see absolutely no reason why the heroes need any upgrades; the inability to pick up containers is really heartbreaking!”
    • “Make the game more emotional, like making it possible to taunt your opponent. Maybe adding a conversation button will help, but it should be strict to avoid abuse. This can be dirty, but it works like doing mind tricks.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its excellent optimization, featuring brilliantly optimized graphics and smooth gameplay, particularly on touchscreen devices. However, some players feel that the heavy reliance on character dialogue can detract from the overall experience, making it feel less engaging.
