Users appreciate the nostalgia and simple gameplay of 'Rivals at War' along with its ease of play and squad customization. However, multiple players report frequent crashes, poor matchmaking, and a frustrating pay-to-win model. The AI team members often act poorly, and game outcomes can feel overly random, leading to repeated losses. Fans hope for updates to fix bugs, improve balance, and add more content to enhance the experience.
Pros
- Nostalgic gameplay that appeals to long-time fans.
- Simple and straightforward game mechanics without overly complex rarities or gimmicks.
- Ability to create an elite squadron of 6, providing some strategic customization.
- Easy to play, making it accessible for casual gamers.
- Potential for entertaining gameplay with continued updates and new content.
Cons
- Frequent game crashes, especially on startup or when accessing certain features like rewards or selecting team members.
- Poor matchmaking that pairs players against much stronger opponents, causing frustration.
- Heavy pay-to-win elements and high costs for tactics and healing units, making progression difficult without spending money.
- AI for friendly units is weak and uncoordinated, reducing strategic depth.
- Game mechanics rely too much on randomness (dice rolls), leading to unfair outcomes and player dissatisfaction.

| 2024-07-04 |  | | I loved this game when I was younger and was so stoked to see it's still here! Downloaded it and I can't even get past the start screen without crashing. Please please please update! I'll change my review in a heartbeat! I just wanna play! |
| 2023-11-02 |  | | Great for a blast of nostalgia. On my zflip 4 the game runs great but crashes when I try to open my rewards in the missions area. Everything else works normal though. I spent $2 immediately to get some booster packs. This game used to be my go to game for watching TV and chilling on my tablet as a kid. I truly hope the devs see these reviews and put out some sort of update for the raw series. YOU GUYS STILL HAVE FANS PLEASE HELP US PLAY YOUR GAME! |
| 2023-08-17 |  | | I used to play this back in 2015 or so on a garbage tablet, and it ran pretty well. The matchmaking was pretty bad (always set me up against people I couldn't beat even with the best bonuses) and it's pretty much pay to win, but it was still entertaining. Now the game just crashes before you can even start it up. Last update was 2 years ago, so the game is probably abandoned. |
| 2023-03-22 |  | | Fun for a moment. A lot of other AFK-like games do it infinitely better, but this still has its ups. It is very straight forward and doesn't have too many weird rarities or other gimmick. It is very unforgiving with how many unnecessary things you have to pay for with in-game currency, though. The fact that everything expires over time and requires a big fee in order to continue with the team you spent so much time on is very off-putting. |
| 2022-11-12 |  | | Downloaded the game after years of playing went well untill it didn't I'm stuck now at 9 wins 14 losses all I do is lose nothing I do works I get better troops it just lowers my rateings and I lose another battle I skip to end hoping that might work and everytime I lose I just lose I can't win no matter what I do I just lose so fix your stupid dice roll mechanism in your game code and actually have it to where we can win |
| 2022-08-29 |  | | Used to play this game a lot when it first came out, decided to try it out again. Booted up the game, went to start my team and it crashes every time I try to pick a nationality for my first team member. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the issue persists. |
| 2022-08-07 |  | | Would love to put five stars but the spec ops mode is broken I'd love to grind for the super soldiers but I won the first battle and received a crate every time I try to open it my game crashes and I can't continue on it's a whole aspect of the game that's just shut out |
| 2022-07-15 |  | | The game was fun for a total of 6 seconds. First off, the AI for your team will always be way worse than your opponent, no matter the rating difference. Next, the matchmaking is scuffed af, within the first 3 matches I was already facing teams way out of my league. Garbage |
| 2022-04-28 |  | | game is trash. just downloaded it and I'm playing it normally and already have a record of 4 wins 10 loses. there's nothing to control it's just a random dice roll on if you'll win or lose. it doesn't help that the difference from level 1 units to level 2 is insane you'll always lose against someone one rank higher than you when you first start the game. it's just horrible it's just glorified auto chess designed for people to throw money at it. then is has an energy system as a cherry on top |
| 2021-08-04 |  | | This Is A Very Good Game. And also please keep this game updated 🙏 make room for more new contents because their is still plenty of potential opportunities if you keep us entertained for new ideas, like continuous improvement/adding more characteristics textures, & adding new special software features to characters, map and so on... |
