    • “Gameplay is smooth and the battle pass isn't bad at all.”
    • “Awesome gameplay mechanics and graphics; super fun base-building game.”

  • graphics
    290 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    182 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for having no intrusive ads, which is a significant positive for many players. However, there are widespread concerns about its monetization model, with numerous reviews labeling it as "pay to win" and a "cash grab," indicating that while players can progress without spending, doing so is often slow and frustrating. Overall, the absence of ads is appreciated, but the high cost of in-game purchases and the perceived imbalance in gameplay due to monetization strategies are notable drawbacks.

    • “No ads is a huge bonus!”
    • “Great game, no ads!”
    • “I love that there are no ads.”
    • “The game has plenty of room to progress without any in-game purchases, but it does narrow its clientele with its steep purchases.”
    • “This game is just a cash grab facade of its original, removing all aspects of strategy that have been reduced to point values.”
    • “Microtransactions (mtx) are largely pay-to-win and speed up.”
  • grinding
    117 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding, particularly for resources and upgrades, which many players find tedious and time-consuming. While some appreciate the challenge and strategic elements of grinding, others express frustration over the slow progression and the perceived pay-to-win mechanics that exacerbate the grind. Overall, the consensus is that while the game can be enjoyable, the grinding aspect may deter long-term engagement for some players.

    • “Main problem for me is the amount of grinding required when you get to late game, to upgrade any unit or ability... it feels crazy to me.”
    • “Months of grinding just to lose to pay-to-win players. The game has potential, but nope.”
    • “The time spent grinding to hopefully get enough cards to unlock troops other than what you start with gets redundant quickly.”
  • stability
    91 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent lags, freezes, and various glitches that hinder gameplay. While some players have experienced smooth performance initially, issues such as frame rate drops, unresponsive screens, and problems with in-game purchases are prevalent, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Overall, despite its fun elements, the game is considered too buggy and unstable, requiring urgent fixes from the developers.

    • “I was so hyped for this game and it really satisfied my expectations. It has new modes and so far it isn't as buggy as the older versions. Overall, good game, new content. I love this game so much, thank you! ”
    • “Game runs smooth when first launched but after about 5 minutes, frame rate drops, device UI starts to get buggy, and the game becomes almost unplayable.”
    • “There are a load of glitches like not being able to collect your proper rewards after completing a quest, not receiving gems after completing raid seasons, defense loops where you have to redo game modes to get the quest reward, and building errors where you can't upgrade at all.”
    • “Love it but... the app constantly freezes and crashes since the last update and is unplayable for me.”
  • story
    89 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it feels repetitive and lacks a compelling narrative. While the variety of missions is appreciated, players express frustration over the difficulty spikes and numerous bugs that hinder progression, making the overall experience feel tedious. Suggestions for improvement include adding a more robust campaign mode and enhancing the storyline to provide a more immersive experience.

    • “For example, a PvE story mode would be brilliant!”
    • “I love this game but I would like all the game modes and alliance to be out and like a story mode. I want this to be the next update: bounty, prison, and alliance.”
    • “I think it's better than console; it would be nice if it had a story mode or a campaign.”
    • “The storyline is also lacking, so it becomes boring after a while.”
    • “There's no real story and it's mainly a PvP base attack game.”
    • “The missions on this game are impossible to beat.”
  • optimization
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews. While some players report smooth performance and good graphics, many others experience significant lag, crashes, and connectivity issues that hinder gameplay. Frequent updates have addressed some bugs, but persistent performance problems remain a common concern among users, indicating a need for further optimization.

    • “The game runs smoothly and I haven't had many issues with it aside from the connectivity issues listed above.”
    • “I can say I'm having a decent amount of fun in this game, and if I were to suggest some improvements, it would be the optimization on performance.”
    • “I always thought this game would port wonderfully to mobile, and this adaptation of the game is well optimized and very true to the console/PC version.”
    • “Alright, I changed my review again because most of the bugs I've complained about have been patched, but there's still one thing that's holding me back from giving this game 5 stars, and that's the lag issue. The only thing holding this game back from being amazing is the lag; this game seriously needs to be optimized because it crashes every minute when I try to play, even when I'm just sitting in the menu it randomly crashes.”
    • “This is coming from a military mobile games enthusiast, but the main problem here is that the performance of the game is very bad; it even kicks me out for some reason.”
    • “Lowering my review, the app keeps crashing on my device; I guess it needs further optimization.”
  • humor
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is frequently highlighted by players, who find it entertaining and often laugh-out-loud funny, particularly due to its quirky animations and unexpected gameplay moments. While some bugs add to the comedic experience, the overall tone is light-hearted, making it a fun way to pass the time. Players appreciate the blend of humor with strategic gameplay, although some express frustration with balance issues and resource management.

    • “Very fun and has some humorous animations as well as very cool ones.”
    • “But there is one bug that annoys me... when you cast the commander ability fast it does nothing but it adds on your tasks... for example when I cast the missile fast nothing happens but it adds on my task... and when I cast the rally fast... all my units retreat hahahahah it's funny af.”
    • “I play games every morning to help me with my depression before I start my day at the post office, this game I can honestly say when I played prison break I started smiling and laughing, I'm 52 and this is really entertaining to me, wish you could play offline.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the nostalgic elements from the original version, while others criticize the limited soundtrack and technical issues, such as music volume affecting sound effects.

Overall, while the music has its moments, it seems to lack variety and consistency, impacting the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “Awesome experience and fabulous graphics and much more entertaining music.”
    • “Same as old games, graphics and music are new.”
    • “The soundtrack is not enough to entertain players, and the spells are kind of overpowered. There should be limits on spells so players don't just spam them to destroy defenses.”

    • “It's a really fun game, but the music is not good.”
  • replayability

  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the game's overall enjoyment but express that it lacks a certain atmosphere, particularly in terms of social interaction features like open world group chats and customizable player names. This absence can make communication within alliances feel cumbersome and detracts from the immersive experience.

    • “I feel that it lacks a certain atmosphere, such as an open world group chat and the ability to send friend requests. It becomes very tiresome to have to type the name of the player while chatting in your alliance.”

    • “While the gameplay is enjoyable, the atmosphere is lacking, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
