User Reviews

Players praise the core strategy gameplay and controls, and feel the game holds up as part of a strong WW2 strategy series. However, recurring concerns include freezing bugs, limited content, and the absence of multiplayer, along with challenging AI that can feel unbalanced. Many reviews request more levels or a new title in the series.
Pros
  • Fun, engaging turn-based strategy gameplay.
  • Great controls for a mobile strategy game.
  • Nostalgic and holds up well despite being an older title.
  • Part of a well-regarded WW2 strategy game series with multiple titles.
Cons
  • Frequent freezing/crashing issues, including after updates.
  • Too few levels / insufficient content across the game.
  • No online multiplayer; lacks online play options.
  • AI/enemy difficulty can be punishing or seem to outsmart the player.

Cool scenarios and turn based game. If you play with good strategy you’ll never run out of gold to buy units during gameplay. They did a good job.

Although the game is pretty old, it still holds up! I loved playing it years ago, and I still do!
