Overall, the graphics of the game have received significant criticism, with many users describing them as outdated and in need of improvement. Players have expressed a desire for more modern, detailed visuals, particularly in the map and character designs, comparing them unfavorably to other strategy games like Civ 6 and HOI4. While the gameplay is generally well-received, the consensus is that enhancing the graphics would greatly elevate the overall experience.
- “I wish the graphics were better and more like Civ 6 or HOI4 in terms of art style and also for the graphics to be a bit more interesting.”
- “Amazing but some better graphics would be cool and visual sights of how far you have advanced into countries.”
- “It amazing game strategy war I hope that you added a lot of stories mood and make the graphics be 3D.”
- “If you conquer any country, the borders will still be present; only the color will change. Can you improve the world map, especially the graphics you use? Oh man, come on, we are in 2021 and you are using 1980s era graphics. The concept of the game is too good compared to turn-based games. The only problem is to improve your graphics; otherwise, soon the game will be dead.”
- “The graphical interface is lacking, and I found the animations both goofy and off-putting. Now that I have your attention, I can say I enjoy the actual idea of having a dictatorship and running the world, etc. I think it is fun to blow up the poor weak countries like Libya and stuff because they are dumb.”
- “Good game, great way to pass time, but the graphics are godawful.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for being overly aggressive, with players expressing frustration over the high costs of in-app purchases and the excessive frequency of ads. While some appreciate the option to earn free tokens through ads, many feel that the rewards are insufficient and that the ad experience detracts from overall enjoyment. Suggestions for improvement include increasing token rewards from ads and offering a one-time purchase option to remove ads entirely.
- “You are likely to make more money if you have a one-off charge for the full game with no ads.”
- “I like to suggest making the in-app purchases a little cheaper; it's too expensive to get 500 tokens, and the extra menus should cost less, like 200-500 instead of 500 and 1000.”
- “The only thing holding this series back is its aggressive monetization scheme. While I appreciate the free tokens, I just want to buy the game without going bankrupt or putting in years worth of effort for free tokens.”
- “I understand you need to make money to improve, but it would cost me over £80 for all in-app purchases.”
- “I'd love to rate it higher, but the amount of ads I've been getting is ridiculous and greatly hinders the experience.”

The game's story is praised for its intriguing premise and potential, but players express frustration with gameplay mechanics that hinder their experience, such as unbalanced missions and bugs. Many users suggest enhancements to the narrative depth, including more realistic military options, detailed scenarios, and improved economic controls, to better align with the strategic elements of the game. Overall, while the foundation of the story is appreciated, significant improvements are needed to fully realize its potential.
- “This game got a nice idea and plot to approach, and those 2 stars are for it.”
- “It would go with the storyline too.”
- “Awesome game but have some issues; how can I control my economy and how can I do missions with spies?”
- “Hello, the game is currently unplayable as a large nation. Every game, if I play as a large nation (Russia, USA, China, UK, etc.), my country consistently gets targeted by 'damage economy' spy missions that I decided to buy with points.”
- “Good game, but the reason for 2 stars is because I was suddenly defeated while playing as Ukraine in sandbox mode with 10 million men, tanks, APCs, etc. I was surprised to see that I was losing to the Russians and only stalemated Belarus. I spied on the Russians in this game, and it turns out they have 1 billion troops. My troops were on the front; that's weird. Also, I have a suggestion: add more options to sandbox mode like instant completion of missions.”
- “You should add an option where two or more nations can plot a war plan against a powerful nation! Like you can add world wars, and we have to decide which group we want to join! It will make the game more interesting.”

- “Buggy to hell and back.”
- “The game is slow, there are non-stop bugs and glitches, and when I click on diplomacy there is nothing I can do. If I can't even declare war, the United Nations is a waste of time and just slows down the game even more. This needs a lot of work; it should not have been released!”
