The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun, addictive, and strategic elements, with many users appreciating the military mechanics and overall design. However, significant issues such as bugs, lag, and a complicated user interface have been highlighted, particularly after recent updates, leading to frustration among players. Additionally, the tutorial is criticized for being insufficient, and many users are calling for the return of simpler mechanics and improved saving options to enhance the overall experience.
- “I love the map and gameplay, super easy!”
- “But the gameplay itself was fun, simplistic, addictive, and challenging.”
- “Good gameplay, okay customization, and a lot of potential!”
- “So laggy I can barely play it, also the last update completely ruined the mechanics and the UI is now over complicated, ugly, and not user-friendly.”
- “The whole reason I played Dummy Nation was for the simplicity and quick gameplay, and now both are gone.”
- “This is the worst update ever; why did the developers make it so complex? The only reason why I played Dummy Nation is because of its simplicity. I'm never playing again unless the old mechanics are back. Pathing is still dumb; it's not fixed, and the military recruitment is dumb. Edit: I can no longer open the game.”
stability

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of crashes, freezes, and lag, particularly on devices like Chromebooks and phones. While players enjoy the gameplay, the persistent bugs and performance issues detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to play consistently. Many users are calling for urgent fixes to address these stability problems.
- “It is fun, but whenever I need to watch an ad to save, it freezes and then crashes.”
- “My phone can't run this game; it's way too laggy. I can barely move the screen. Only when I click on domination or custom does it freeze for a second and then start lagging. Can you fix it? The game is fun, though; it's just way too laggy to play.”
- “Crashes way too much. Even if you play single player, the AI, the moment NATO or another alliance member attacks you, just says okay, it's fine. Turkey, go ahead, Russia. By the way, if you check back as Russia, they all joined against you. It crashes and freezes a lot. Fun game even with the ads, but it crashes and freezes way too much. Please fix it.”

Overall, user feedback on optimization is mixed; while some players commend the game for its solid performance on low-end devices and minimal battery drain, others report significant lag and poor optimization that hampers gameplay. There are calls for further improvements to enhance performance and reduce lag, particularly for users on older hardware.
- “As a techy user, I find it important to talk about that the game has really good optimization. I tested the game on multiple devices and found it to be really good even on old devices. It doesn't overheat the device like other games and doesn't drain the battery that much. I played for 2 straight hours on a Redmi Note 8T and it only drained 8% of the battery.”
- “This game is epic! It was a five-star experience, but please add a feature for custom ideology, like allowing players to create their own separatist style. Adding navy units and displaying tanks and aircraft as 3D models would enhance the realism and epicness. Please also focus on optimization, as it can struggle on low-end devices.”
- “It's a good game; I really appreciate it, but the optimization needs improvement as it currently gives only 2 FPS.”
- “It's a good game, I really appreciate it, but the optimization needs improvement; it gives me like 2 FPS.”
- “Developer, it's too laggy; it needs a performance boost to be playable.”
- “Very poor optimization.”
