Review summary

Overall response: Players largely enjoy the WWII-themed base-defense concept, with some appreciating the ability to earn coins without spending. However, widespread issues plague the app: intrusive ads and faulty ad-free purchases, frequent crashes and freezes, progress-blocking base-building bugs, and repetitive, shallow content with too few levels. The combination of ads, broken restore purchases, and stability problems lead many to abandon the game despite its potential. Some users still praise the core gameplay and a few note it as fun, but persistent issues deter sustained play.

Pros

Fun WWII-themed base-defense gameplay.
Challenging rounds with strategic depth and progression.
Free-to-play progression: players can earn coins and gems without spending money.
Core mechanics have noticeable potential and are enjoyable for fans of the theme.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads and ad-free purchases not honored (restore purchases often not working).
Frequent crashes and freezes interrupt gameplay.
Base-building progression bugs lock you out of advancing (e.g., stuck at bases, unable to build further).
Repetitive gameplay with limited levels/content leading to boredom.

2026-02-18	Re*****	Sorry I do like the game. But when I spent more time waiting for the adds to end than playing the game. It takes the fun out of the game.

2025-02-13	Su*****	Spent the money for no ads. 2 hours later I had ads and restore purchases does nothing. Made it to a certain level and now have tens of thousands of gears but cant move to a nee base. Game freezes every 5-7 levels and I have to kill the app. Absolute trash game.

2025-02-10	Q2*****	I have 3 times attempted to go onto the next round by using the “play with ads” button. But that button will not respond. The buttons for everything else on screen work. The 5$ option, the 10$ option and the ad at the bottom are all working while the option to play with ads doesn’t work. It is otherwise an interesting game as a time buffer. The ads would be acceptable… if you could get to them.

2024-12-26	th*****	Paid $4.99 for no ads and couple weeks later have them back. Restore purchase button doesn’t change anything. Near impossible to contact the developer. Play for fun but don’t advise pay for fun

Fun game
2024-12-11	Gr*****	Didn’t even play the game for more than 60 seconds and it crashed. Kept showing a prompt to move my soldiers and even after closing the app it wouldn’t allow me to do anything until I completed this impossible prompt that I had done multiple times.
