  • story31 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the diverse missions and strategic elements. However, many users express frustration over the restrictive mission structure, lack of a freeplay or sandbox mode, and high costs associated with unlocking new countries and skipping missions. Overall, while the narrative and gameplay mechanics are engaging, the limitations on player freedom and progression detract from the overall experience.

    • “I love this game and the animations, and how we have to do special tasks in different storylines. Keep up the great work!”
    • “This game is awesome and fun! One thing that I want you guys to add is a mode that doesn't have missions.”
    • “Great game actually, but can you please add a conquest mode without missions?”
    • “The game is really good, but I suggest adding a sandbox mode without missions. Some commanders are not powerful enough to make a difference, and the alliance mechanics could be improved to enhance gameplay.”
    • “Game really needs a freeplay gamemode or sandbox; the missions are sometimes very annoying and boring, and I just want to mess around on the battlefield.”
    • “I like the game, but one small issue is that the countries cost so much—1500 per country, which is too expensive. The missions give you so little coins, and it's not cool to have such high prices.”
  • graphics29 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising the improved visuals, immersive experience, and top-tier design of units and landscapes. However, some players have reported issues with device overheating and crashes, particularly due to the lack of adjustable graphical settings. Overall, while the graphics are seen as a significant improvement over previous versions, there are calls for further optimization and options to reduce graphical demands.

    • “I like the changes in graphics which give it a more immersive experience.”
    • “Great game, definitely better than the previous versions with a new take on the graphics, good performance on my phone and I haven't experienced any bugs so I think it's safe to say it's a well-polished game.”
    • “Amazing as always, runs smooth with great updated graphics from the last game, good job.”
    • “Has the potential to be great and is an excellent game, but consistent crashes, sometimes within the same five minutes of another crash, and the inability to turn off tutorials, along with no option for graphical settings to be turned down, are causing device overheating and crashing.”
    • “Better graphics needed, and the ability to move the camera to the edges so you can see the edge territories easier.”
    • “Reasons are there is no option to decrease graphics which makes my phone easily get hot, and the game sometimes crashes even if I reduce the graphics.”
  • gameplay28 mentions

    The gameplay of the sequel has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the enhanced naval combat, artillery mechanics, and alliance systems, but criticizing issues such as slow unit movement, frequent crashes, and frustrating turn-end pauses. While some find the new mechanics and graphics enjoyable, others feel the game lacks the fluidity and sandbox experience of its predecessor, leading to a sense of frustration and disappointment. Overall, the game shows promise but is hindered by bugs and gameplay flow issues that detract from the overall experience.

    • “First off, I would like to say that the gameplay of this game is really, really good and fun.”
    • “Great game, good gameplay, and I recommend playing it.”
    • “Incredible strategy game, it's laggy at times, but autosave stops you from losing progress, easy to understand gameplay, and genuinely fun maps.”
    • “Also has some gameplay issues, like not having the option of moving troops in zoom out, and the end turn button is hidden unless you select an empty territory.”
    • “The game just made me not want to play this anymore. First of all, every time I finish my turn, it pauses, and I have to restart the game. I worked so hard on my gameplay, and then my progress got deleted. I restarted my game 34 times every time I finish a turn, and it became a total game killer.”
    • “Waaaayyy too slow gameplay; even moving a single unit takes hours on end. I wouldn't download this game if I were you; it's heavily pay-to-win, boring, and unfinished.”
  • stability15 mentions

    The stability of the game has been a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, lagging, and glitches, particularly during long play sessions. Many players experience issues such as the game freezing during turns, problems with loading screens, and unexpected restarts, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some users note improvements in stability over time, the persistent technical issues have led to lower ratings and frustration.

    • “Sometimes, when I play long sessions, 60+ turns, it lags and freezes on my next turn, so I have to close and reopen the game.”
    • “I am reducing a star because I have had a lot of technical issues with the game such as freezing and glitches.”
    • “Also, it has several bugs and performance problems as usual with Unity games. Sometimes it freezes, like when you zoom out, sometimes the game restarts, and sometimes the screen just goes black.”
  • monetization10 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of unskippable ads and aggressive microtransactions that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the absence of ads and paywalls, others feel that the game becomes unbalanced without in-app purchases, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab. Overall, players are calling for a more player-friendly approach to monetization.

    • “For the fact that it's not that locked behind paywalls and has no ads, I would say this is 5/5.”
    • “Good does not take a lot of battery and has no ads.”
    • “A little buggy but no ads :)”
    • “Too many unskippable ads!”
    • “Your game is already making money with microtransactions; don't force ads on us on top of that.”
    • “Without in-app purchases, the AI begins 'cheating' when you're doing well, and then you simply cannot win.”
  • optimization4 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report smooth performance and a polished experience on mobile devices, others encounter bugs, freezes, and performance issues typical of Unity games. There is a call for options to disable or optimize 3D models to enhance performance further.

    • “Great game, definitely better than the previous versions with a new take on the graphics, good performance on my phone, and I haven't experienced any bugs, so I think it's safe to say it's a well-polished game.”
    • “The game is realistic and runs smoothly and is addictive; it's lots of fun and challenging the further you dive into it.”
    • “The 3D models need the option to be turned off or optimized for the game to run better.”
    • “It has several bugs and performance problems, as is usual with Unity games. Sometimes it freezes when you zoom out, occasionally the game restarts, and at times the screen just goes black.”
  • music3 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some players finding it less engaging compared to the previous installment. While there is an option to download the music, some users express frustration over the file size and perceive the new tracks as boring. Overall, the music aspect seems to be a point of contention, impacting the game's overall enjoyment.

    • “New updates cause excess lag and I am decidedly not interested in downloading 19.2 megabytes worth of useless music tracks.”
    • “In the last game there wasn't really much to do, but in this game you have more continents just like I asked. You can ally or declare war on some country, like Japan, and there are different levels you have to wait for. However, the new music is more boring compared to the last game's music.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Many users find the game excessively grindy, suggesting that it requires a significant time investment to progress. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the repetitive nature of unlocking content can be tedious, leading some to recommend a paid version that eliminates the grinding aspect.

    • “The game is way too grindy; I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some serious time on your hands or $31 to spend.”
    • “It's really good, but they should make a paid version where all the countries are unlocked. Grinding for them is pretty boring.”
