  • Engaging and historically themed gameplay with multiple campaigns capturing different WWI factions
  • Sandbox mode offers creative freedom to build custom maps and battles with many cosmetic options
  • Fair monetization approach: no forced ads and optional watching for rewards, with a generally balanced progression system
  • High difficulty spikes and unbalanced levels, especially on hard mode, making some stages almost impossible without ads or purchases
  • Sandbox mode heavily gated with premium items and limited free save slots, frustrating players and limiting creativity
  • Multiple bugs and glitches reported including crashes, graphical issues on certain devices, and problems loading ads affecting gameplay experience
  • monetization
    109 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in the game is primarily through optional ads and a premium pass that unlocks many sandbox items, with varying player opinions. While ads are generally not forced and can aid progression, many players find the reliance on ads and microtransactions intrusive or frustrating, especially due to ad glitches and limited free content. Overall, the game balances free playability with monetization but some feel the sandbox mode is overly locked behind ads or purchases, impacting the experience.

    • “Also you have no ads unless you have to get more coins, and no wifi needed!”
    • “The microtransactions are just a little extra; if you really sit down and think about it, you don't even need to upgrade any troops that the game gives you for free.”
    • “Great game, no ads unless you choose to, perfect.”
    • “You start with way too little money and only get +5 every couple of seconds no matter what level it is... this makes it literally impossible to get past the first few levels, even with watching ads for coins.”
    • “But this game is purely unwinnable without paying for support or watching ads.”
    • “Too much monetization, first of all other games like WorldBox or SFS offer a one-time purchase as the only purchase. In SFS you can just buy everything as a one-time purchase (bundle). In this game a new microtransaction gets added seemingly every update and there are no benefits for those who bought premium. There is also no option to buy the full game which is what premium should have been.”
  • graphics
    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game’s graphics are generally praised for their improved quality, charming pixel art style, and immersive war atmosphere, making it the best WW1 trench warfare experience on mobile. While some users note occasional graphical glitches and pixelation issues, most appreciate the smooth animations, detailed visuals, and enhancements over the original. However, a few desire more variety in content and further graphical refinements in future updates.

    • “It's a graphic masterpiece. The gameplay is just how I remember it back in 2021 when I first played this game.”
    • “This is a huge step up from the original game: improved graphics, nice animations, and more variations and skins. Best WW1 RTS game on this app, download now!”
    • “The mechanics are smooth, the graphics stunning, and the overall experience incredibly fun.”
    • “There is some sort of graphics issue and the screen rapidly becomes pixelated with solid colors and I can no longer see what is going on.”
    • “The app barely works and has some sort of graphical glitch every time I run it.”
    • “I use mines to stop enemy advance while building my defense, but once I move 50 to attack, it lags. Reduce unnecessary graphics; some troops got caught under the map and couldn't be hit but they shoot back instead.”
  • gameplay
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its simple, easy-to-learn mechanics, smooth controls, and strategic elements, providing an enjoyable and immersive WW1 experience with accurate details and no forced ads or paywalls. However, many users find it repetitive over time due to similar mission objectives and limited variety, with suggestions for more dynamic features and modes to enhance long-term engagement. Overall, it is considered a solid, improved remake with appealing graphics and faithful gameplay, though some desire more content and balance adjustments.

    • “Well balanced, no paywall and easy enough to progress and upgrade through gameplay.”
    • “I am not joking, as someone who plans on being a historian later on this game not only has an amazing gameplay loop but even teaches you the technology and uniforms used by troops who served in WW1, I highly recommend you play this game.”
    • “The mechanics are smooth, the graphics stunning and the overall experience incredibly fun.”
    • “Gameplay is extremely repetitive and unsatisfying; it's just spam riflemen and maybe an artillery strike on the enemy.”
    • “This game is nice for the first day or few days depending on how fast you complete a certain series, but then it becomes extremely repetitive, which made me uninstall it.”
    • “Gameplay is heavily reliant on how many ads you watch (which crash the game half of the time).”
  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect is praised for its engaging campaign missions, historical accuracy, and quality storytelling, with each nation having unique narrative elements. However, players criticize the game's paywall limiting access to some story content and campaigns, the repetitive mission objectives, and the high difficulty in parts, suggesting more varied gameplay and additional features like new campaigns and cutscenes would enhance the experience.

    • “Amazing game with excellent story for each campaign.”
    • “This is actually better than the old, not much content like countries/armies but I like the new upgrade system on units and a story mode-like campaign.”
    • “Looks very lovely, nice graphics, better story, I would say that it's a good remake.”
    • “The same kind of gameplay is kind of boring for me. Even though they try to give you different kinds of objectives in each mission, it all comes back to: gather up as many soldiers as possible.”
    • “The latest update increased the number of missions needed in one campaign (French campaign) to unlock the next campaign from 6 levels to 8 levels.”
    • “Have to watch ads to complete any mission further — hella lame.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from frequent bugs and glitches that affect gameplay stability, including freezing, loading issues, and screen glitches, making it sometimes unplayable. However, players acknowledge it's an early-stage release and remain hopeful for future fixes. Despite these problems, the game is still considered fun and engaging.

    • “I found another bug that makes the battlefield glitch out a lot, making the game unplayable. Could you fix it?”
    • “There's quite a lot of bugs in the game; when playing the campaign or sandbox, it glitches badly. Hopefully, it gets fixed.”
    • “I love the game but something has happened to me twice: I downloaded the game and played it for a while, but the second time I opened it, it just froze on the loading screen. I tried reinstalling and uninstalling.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is generally enjoyable and rewarding, especially with recent updates that have made it easier. While some levels can feel tedious or challenging, the ability to grind helps unlock content without relying on ads, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “Fun but levels can be tedious and annoying if you make one mistake.”
    • “But I do think the skins are quite overpriced, and grinding was made easier only after the USA update months ago.”
    • “You don't need it, but with it you don't need to watch ads to unlock an object for a sandbox session. That may sound tedious.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its great soundtrack, nostalgic and fitting themes, including real Christmas music and a memorable theme song. Some users suggest adding classical pieces like the 1812 Overture or more historically themed campaigns with corresponding music to enhance the experience. Overall, the music significantly contributes to the game's enjoyable and immersive atmosphere.

    • “Love the real Christmas music in this game and it's so fun to play, keep up the good work.”
    • “I saw videos of the gameplay and everything, the theme song is so good and it gives off nostalgic vibes. For a WW1 game like this, I already know this will be such a masterpiece!”
    • “It's great but I think it would be better if it could have classical pieces like the 1812 Overture as battle music. The game is good.”

  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere effectively captures the intensity of trench warfare with detailed environments and authentic uniforms and weapons, enhancing immersion. However, some users feel it lacks the iconic bayonet charge, which would further enrich the World War I experience. Overall, the visuals and effects contribute significantly to a compelling wartime ambiance.

    • “The uniforms and weapons of the soldiers are top notch, the background environments are very detailed and bring a great atmosphere to the levels.”
    • “It's a big step up in graphics and the effects are really good; the atmosphere is something that you would expect from wars and I like it and I hope others will too.”
    • “I love the atmosphere of trench warfare, but it's missing the most iconic part of WWI: the bayonet charge.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability due to its varied and enjoyable game modes, enhanced by randomness that keeps the experience fresh. However, some players find the need to purchase most items in sandbox mode a drawback.

    • “Operation is definitely better than the old survival mode, and the randomness keeps it going for decent replayability.”
    • “The game modes are enjoyable and have so much replayability, though I wish you didn't have to buy most items in sandbox mode.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The character designs and animations, particularly for the camel, are well-executed and appreciated. However, there are no specific comments on character development beyond design quality.
