## Review summary

Rivals at War is remembered fondly for nostalgia and visuals, with a small but active community. However, it is plagued by crashes, launch issues, and compatibility problems after iOS updates.

Overall, the concept has appeal, but the current state is unreliable and under-supported.

- Good graphics when the game runs
- Active/loyal community with some players still engaged
- Fun gameplay potential when functioning
- Appeal for fans of the genre who remember the title

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and startup/server errors preventing play
- Lack of ongoing updates leading to stale content
- Inability to actively control units/characters diminishing gameplay
- Compatibility issues after iOS updates (including iPad/iPhone not opening)
- Pay-to-win/unbalanced monetization affecting progression
