Overall, the graphics of the game have received significant criticism, with many users describing them as outdated and in need of improvement.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 visuals, better map graphics, and enhanced animations to match contemporary standards seen in other strategy games. While the gameplay concept is appreciated, the lack of graphical polish is seen as a major drawback that could hinder the game's longevity.
“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.”
“The concept is good for mobile, but the execution, graphics, and controls are lacking.”
“I love this game, but can you upgrade the graphics so it will look more cool, love from the Philippines.”
“The game is nice, but why is the team not improving the graphics? I don't understand.”
“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? 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.”
“Good game, great way to pass time, but the graphics are godawful.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its aggressive ad placement and high in-app purchase costs. Players feel that the limited number of ads they can watch for tokens is insufficient, making it difficult to unlock new features without spending substantial money. Many users suggest that increasing token rewards from ads and offering a one-time purchase option to remove ads would enhance the overall experience.
“I understand you need to make money to improve, but it would cost me over £80 for all in-app purchases.”
“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'd love to rate it higher, but the amount of ads I've been getting is ridiculous and greatly hinders the experience.”
“The ads have become far too excessive; 30-second pauses in between each action is terrible.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as enjoyable and innovative, with a solid concept and depth that many players appreciate. However, there are significant criticisms regarding clunky controls, slow loading times, and a confusing user interface, which detract from the experience. Frequent advertisements and bugs also hinder gameplay, leading to a mixed reception despite the game's potential and fun mechanics.
“The game features good gameplay, but for further enhancement, I believe it should incorporate realistic pricing for various vehicles, with some being more affordable while others are pricier, mirroring real-world counterparts.”
“The updates of various bug fixes are greatly improving the gameplay!”
“I actually love this game so much; it's so great! I really hope you get more support because the gameplay is quite high tier and addictive.”
“However, the UI is disorienting, a proper tutorial is absent, and the gameplay feels clunky in several aspects.”
“The gameplay and UI are very confusing and hard to play.”
“This game got a nice idea and plot to approach, but the gameplay takes an eternity to load, and there are a lot of bugs and glitches, like I can't attack in some turns even when I'm at war.”

The game's story is set against a backdrop of global conflict, with players navigating the complexities of warfare, espionage, and diplomacy in a world where some nations have been devastated by nuclear attacks. While the narrative offers intriguing scenarios and potential for strategic depth, players express a desire for more realistic elements, such as detailed military options and improved mission mechanics, to enhance the overall experience. Despite its promising premise, technical issues and gameplay bugs detract from the immersion and enjoyment of the story.
“This game got a nice idea and plot to approach and those 2 stars for it... but the gameplay, god help, it takes time near infinity to load.... and there are a lot of bugs and glitches here.... like I can't attack at some turn even when I'm in war......”
“It would go with the storyline too.”
“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 go with! It will make the game more interesting.”
“Hello, the game is currently unplayable as a large nation. 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.”
“It would be awesome if there was an option to put a scenario where you can add the countries you want or continents, and give easier and more missions to earn points. I've been playing this game for 3 years but just opened up 5 or 6 options from the token shop.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes that significantly hinder gameplay. Players experience issues such as incorrect troop numbers, long loading times, and unresponsive diplomatic actions, leading to frustration and a sense that the game was released prematurely. While some improvements have been noted with updates, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial work to achieve a stable experience.
“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. 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!”
“The long loading times just broke it for me. It could have been a good game if the loading times were shorter and there weren't any glitches in the game.”

“Please add strategic resources, unique traits of each country, military upkeep, and optimize the map for strategic military maneuver.”
“I really love the game, hoping for more features and optimization of the game if updated though.”
