“The game is very promising; when I first played it, I really enjoyed the massive battles and the good graphics in the game.”
“It is really fun at the state of early alpha and it has a great potential, both for just having fun watching massive armies fight (think Total War series, but without control and on a larger scale and less realistic physics/battle tactics (there are none) and worse graphics).”
“A far improvement on Ultimate Battle Simulator; i.e., better graphics, AI, sound effects, amount of units out.”
“In my opinion, however, it beats Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator in design, unit placement, control of units, and graphics/animation.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its smoothness, logical controls, and satisfying mechanics, making it a strong contender in the battle simulation genre. While the graphics and sound design enhance the experience, some players feel the game lacks variety in troops and maps, suggesting room for improvement. Despite these shortcomings, many reviewers find it a significant improvement over its predecessor, UEBs 2, and a solid choice for fans of the genre.
“Good gameplay, love the sounds, and in general, this game is a 9/10!”
“The graphics are good, the controls are logical and easy, and the gameplay is smooth and enthralling.”
“Okay, first of all, it's obviously heavily inspired by UEBs, but in my opinion, this is so much better because it makes possessing feel more immersive and the gameplay is way better, especially for being barely out.”
“Sadly, the overall looks and gameplay feel more satisfying than UEBs 2.”
“The game runs well and works well mechanic-wise, but it's so lackluster when it comes to troops and maps, which is what the whole game is based around.”
“I hope that the devs sink more time into this game to make it feel truly complete, with new faction mechanics, etc.”
