“The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth.”
“Great graphics, great gameplay, and easy controls.”
“I am surprised that a game as good as this exists (barely any advert), intense, insane graphics etc.”
“Unless you absolutely love the WW2 theme, which graphics-wise is decent, there's not much to this game.”
“Game performance issues and graphics are too heavy for the game, although the graphics are not of high quality to warrant that heaviness.”
“I am giving 4 stars only because the graphics are not up to the mark; the only improvement the game needs is in the graphics.”

The gameplay is generally fast-paced and engaging, with enjoyable mechanics and good graphics, but it suffers from issues like unbalanced matchmaking and a pay-to-win model that can frustrate players. Many users express that while the core gameplay is fun, progress can be slow and heavily influenced by spending money, leading to a reliance on higher-level cards rather than strategy. Additionally, some players have noted the presence of overpowered units and a lack of effective countermeasures, which can detract from the overall experience.
“The gameplay is fast and fairly intense.”
“Great game, while it's still in its early stages from what I can tell, gameplay is great, very few bugs, pretty well balanced (matchmaking could use some tweaks), all in all an awesome game.”
“As a hardcore battlefield console gamer, this Android game, after a lot of gameplay, learning, and understanding, is an absolutely beautiful, incredible, dynamic, addictive, exciting, and realistic experience. It's the absolute best on Android strategy to date, no exaggeration.”
“Gotcha mechanics make the grind a pain since you might just get unlucky and not pull any meta counters for a bit, which in turn slows down the grind to get more pulls.”
“Waste of time; you'll just get spammed with katyushas with no way to stop them. I played 10 2v2 matches and all the enemy players do is spam katyushas and mechanics to repair them. If they take damage once, the enemy team does that, you're literally spending all your points on artillery or bombs just to stop them. Every game I played, I had the enemy team have upwards of 6 katyushas while my teammate and I were spending all our points on abilities to stop them and couldn't even deploy our own troops.”
“Descent gameplay, but everything takes forever to get and they keep pairing you with stronger players so you lose constantly.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to play without spending money, while others criticize it as a cash grab that heavily encourages in-app purchases for upgrades. Many users express frustration over the reliance on ads for rewards and the perceived imbalance created by pay-to-win mechanics, despite some noting that the game can still be enjoyed without financial investment. Overall, while the lack of forced ads is a positive aspect, the presence of microtransactions and the potential for repetitive gameplay have led to dissatisfaction among certain players.
“The way the devs make their money is a win-win too: there are zero popup ads and no ads to watch for benefits.”
“You don't have to pay to win (it all comes down to tactics and player selections), and no ads is a great feature as well!”
“In-app purchases are available and reasonable.”
“Just another cash grab app with no content.”
“Pretty much a pay to win knock off of much better games like Clash Royale. You get matched with people with upgraded units which instantly decides who's going to win the match before it even can start, and after you lose you get bombarded with pop-up ads shoving 'deals' in your face promoting pay to win. It's just a waste of time and hard drive space.”
“It's a fun game, but it's definitely one that hinges on in-game purchases.”

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent freezing and crashing issues, particularly after recent updates. While some users enjoy the gameplay and camaraderie within the community, the persistent bugs and connection problems significantly detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration during matches. Overall, while the game has potential, it requires urgent fixes to improve its stability.
“I love this game, but unfortunately now the match never starts; it just keeps loading then freezes.”
“The only issue I seem to have now is that after the last update, the game freezes where I cannot navigate, scroll, or tap the display screen.”
“You lose connection or it freezes, and it costs you to lose a match that you are playing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mix of fun and frustration; while it offers casual enjoyment, many feel it becomes tedious and repetitive over time. Concerns about matchmaking and a perceived pay-to-win model detract from the experience, as players often face challenges that require significant investment or time to overcome. Overall, while some enjoy the grind, others see it as a time sink designed to encourage spending.
“It used to be fun, but due to the developers' inability to fix matchmaking, I have grown tired of grinding through players who are up to 1500 points higher rank than me.”
“This company is more about trying to get your money than letting you enjoy the grind. There's no buffer in this game, and as soon as you build any sort of economic income, unless you pay, you're going to get attacked. Grinding is no fun as it's taken as soon as you get anything good.”
“Fun gameplay, which quickly becomes tedious as it is yet another time sink designed to frustrate you in an attempt to get you to spend ungodly amounts of money.”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative and longer missions. While the early missions in Poland are considered enjoyable, there is a call for more strategic events and varied gameplay to enhance the overall experience. Some users also criticize the repetitive nature of missions and graphics, suggesting that the game could benefit from a more developed storyline.
“The early missions in Poland were fair and fun.”
“It's very fun, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to play, great controls. I would, however, like to see a storyline or a match that will last longer than 3 minutes, but overall great game, well done creators!”
“Please remove the cheatsheets. People with lower ranks are also defeating others. I understand they might have purchased the products, but still, technically it's not possible. Also, bring in some strategic events like some missions in the game.”
“That was a very, very bad game. Don't download it... I have tier (level) nine, but the thing is the same mission, same graphics... please don't waste your time.”

The game's optimization has received criticism for laggy performance, particularly in the guild list and outdated UI, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game features semi-realistic graphics and unique units, many players report performance issues that seem disproportionate to the graphical quality, indicating a need for significant improvements in UI and menu responsiveness.
“I like that it varies the performance of each player and allows for strategic play.”
“Even though I would like to see some optimization, the game itself has somewhat semi-realistic graphics and features a lot of unique units and support skills.”
“Game performance issues and graphics are too heavy for the game, although the graphics are not of high quality to warrant such heaviness.”
“Even though I would like to see some optimization, the guild list is extremely laggy and the UI looks kind of outdated. For the most part, it's just visuals in the menu; the game itself has somewhat semi-realistic graphics and features a lot of unique units and support skills.”
“The game has performance issues, and the graphics are too heavy for what the game offers, even though the graphics quality is not high enough to warrant such demands.”
“The game hangs a lot. My phone has 4GB of RAM and plenty of empty space, along with a brilliant processor. Please, please, please improve the game UI and main menu performance.”
