I'm not quite why the free version of the game (that has ads) has more content than the paid version, which I bought, but whatever. The game is great, I highly recommend it.

I do not see why so many people are critiquing the update, i really like the new feel and the daily challenges. Worth the install, one of my fav mobile games.
noname17274, the 02/12/2021
It's not about strategy, it's more like a click and collect, click and defend game. Just click fast and win. Difficulty is vanilla.

Really innovative, any minor issues can be overlooked as the developers are trying something really interesting, loads of fun, great replayablility

The game itself is absolutely stunning. The idea is pretty unique and a good strategy game it is. The UI is amazing too. There are some technical issues though. For example: zooming in and out is a real pain and sometimes being not able to quickly zoom out could be game changing. When I pressed the FIRST STRIKE ATTACK bottun, I couldn't unchoose it ( yea that's how I like to talk :) ). Basically it's a bit buggy. Definitely recommend the game to everyone especially to the strategists.

The game is good. But, the problem is the game is buggy and when you're playing multiplayer in mobile, the game starts and then it freezes. I mean, it stops loading into the actual game. So, me and my friends ended up giving up or going back to the menu. Please fix this bug on mobile. To be honest, this game is really exciting to play. Would love to rate it 5 stars once the bug is fixed.

Good game, but WAY UNBALANCED. The enemies can easily destroy you, and block all of your attacks, even attacking you for no reason. I was playing north Korea and I was researching the sight, so I could actually do something, and I got nuked before that finished. A suggestion for the devs, make the opposing teams less agressive, and nerf their defense and attack strength, and buff the cooldown for the player. Or at least make a baby/easy difficulty, for people who aren't amazing at it to have fun
noname322446, the 02/12/2021
Not good. Many problems in game like view. Rotation of globe is too difficult and zoom in and out also very finger sticky. Finding active enemy and ally is also difficult. Selection of things need many improvements. Warning signs are very weak. I think many controls are missing. That not exist. Sound is not impressive while playing very boring.

Hey, writing this review because I accidentally deleted the old one. Game is really good, multiplayer is awesome, but I have to give kudos to the developers who commented on my 2 year old review where I asked for multiplayer. This is the first time a developer actually responded to my review, more impressing is that it's 2 YEARS OLD, meaning they went and checked old reviews. Cheers devs ????
noname423163, the 02/12/2021
I love this game,only it would be fun to team up in mutiplayer or at least a chat option,so far I've not encountered any problems it runs smoothly graphics is good. I recommend this game to those who like war themed or war games or even strategy players:)
noname553762, the 02/12/2021
This game did drained my battery quickly. I suggest about add the new graphics' options for good performance and battery saver like reduce the running background resolutions' tasks and sky, planets' visual effects. This game is a good-okay multiplayer feature. Please add quick chat with other countries like peace, neutral, and war declaration.
noname22484, the 02/12/2021
Kinda fun when you first start playing but about a day later and your kinda tired of the game. The game is very laggy and when there isn't a lot of bots left in the game, they all gang up on you and nuke you to pieces. Please make the game more balanced.
noname803522, the 02/12/2021
Overall a great strategy game, it's really fun to play and can really help you strategize better, and I love how they added multiplayer, and not play with bots only, but still this game is fun and is real good at killing time, I love it and hope people would too.
noname295154, the 02/12/2021
Great game, but it is very prone to crashing (i am on a very new device, not an issue from my end) and whenever it crashes, progress is deleted. Crashes often occur late game, wasting 30+ minutes. Also, sometimes the game can freeze so bad that I am forced to force restart my entire device, as it freezes everything and does not allow any functions to occur (power button, any menu, leaving the game, etc.) If this was all fixed, this game would earn 5 stars.
noname735666, the 02/12/2021
I really love the game but it's buggy. I often find myself unable to tap any territory, or any process (research, expansion, construction) gets stuck forever. I've had to ditch multiple games where I was winning because I can't do anything...
noname450499, the 02/12/2021
really great experience so far not alot of problems with the game but I have been having troubles with the first strike ability sometimes it just stops counting my arsernal and it thinks I have a low arsernal even if I have all of europe and half of asia completely fillief with missiles preventing me from launching a devestating attack
noname767211, the 02/12/2021
The experience has been terrible. The controls are very weird and unresponsive. I've been trying to launch a mass attack and it takes at least 5 taps for it to engage. I lost many rounds because of this. Dont get me started on the RNG. Horrible
noname356031, the 02/12/2021
Great game, but personally it feels clunky to play it in mobile. Because its fast paced, controlling with swiping in mobile screen feels clunky and hard. Im gonna check if this game available for pc or not. Edit : aight, this game is straight up unplayable in mobile. And im uninstalling it while writing this review
noname24071, the 02/12/2021
Great game for strategy lovers. Could potentially get 5 stars if they sort out the glitches. The game won't always respond to the moves making me lose valuable time while Iran annihilates my citizens:(
noname475123, the 02/12/2021
This game is actually the greatest rts game for mobile, it's smooth and offline and the most of all it's very good when you're in a trip and the ads aren't annoying at all ,it deserves 5 stars
noname47766, the 02/12/2021
The game gets very buggy when many nations fire rockets together also no answer from developers. At first the game was very good but now its getting very slow. Also i have many suggestions about the game which i sent to developers no1 report. "Wargame 1983 Messege to professor Falcon."
noname321792, the 02/12/2021
Is there some kind of In-App Purchase i didn't see yet to disable the Ads? If not would it be possible to move the Ads, so that you don't get them after winning a game, but after returning from the "victory" screen to the main menu? They are a bit... anticlimactic where they are now.
noname514404, the 02/12/2021
It is fun but there's no setting to keep music and turn off beeping sounds....also the game should have an auto defense feature because if a middle is heading to somewhere you're not looking it'll die even having 5 defensive units
noname657060, the 02/12/2021
Such a fun and strategic game, with really creative ideas. Would recommend it for gamers who are willing to give strategic games a try.
noname952644, the 02/12/2021
Fun game but allies shouldn't be able to turn on you right away for no reason. Also there should be an option to not include your defense in your all out attack because your left defenseless and leaves you open to the other enemies.
noname443622, the 02/12/2021
I might be missing something but I think it would be cool to have a game mode where countries can't just give up, they have to be destroyed completely before they are done. Overall the game is great besides that!
noname232053, the 02/12/2021
Fun and exciting. Easy to learn and play. Was looking for a defcon type game and am happy I tried this one.
noname881963, the 02/12/2021
Great at first, took me time to figure it out, and when I started my 2nd time restarting instantly I was ganged up on and they had a full arsenal in like a minute. Not fun because I had no time
noname157751, the 02/12/2021
Really fun game, only complaint is the ads. I was having a good game when an ad appeared mid game and made be abort the negotiations and while the ad was going on I got nuked. At least pause the game when you get an ad or make it so you can't get ads mid game
noname315864, the 02/12/2021
Everything is great with this game. Except when my connection goes off and then when I try reconnect with the game then game doesn't work in muliplayer mode. Please fix it.
noname105345, the 02/12/2021
I love the fact that when you win, they don't say "You win!" They say "You win?" Devs I have two recommendations one can you please make Indian Pakistan separate Nations and can you please add diplomacy in multiplayer mode and a chat We'll definitely be very thankful!
noname606570, the 02/12/2021
This game would be better if you're Last remaining enemies didn't wimp out when you blow up a good portion of the country and there still there even when Trying expansion they wimp out I want more of a fight I think you should only be able to win when you're enemie is completely annihilated this is my feed back on that don't take it personally
noname582249, the 02/12/2021
Sooo good i cant stop playing it the only problem is when your countrey is bombed and you retake it you cant really see how many rocket slots you have so it gets a bit confusing.
noname434758, the 02/12/2021
Finally a new update that everyone want. Multiplayer update is really cool, you can't predict when they attack, and play with friends its fun. Very very nice update :)
noname535363, the 02/12/2021
Game is fun at first but than it won't let you play at all it will take days to load a muliplayer game and won't even let you play a offline game this sucks
noname201778, the 02/12/2021
I was in the middle of a game. It jumped to an advert and reset all of my progress. What the actual f***. Deleting this bullsh*t
noname256364, the 02/12/2021
This game is 100% not healthy trying to reach 100% completion the moment you go in hardcore and there's one more nation left you constantly get bashed for over an hour trying to take over the other nation and then they keep spamming you with rockets and leaving barely any freetime for you to move or even do something without spamming defense and the automatic defense isn't even as much effective against against 3 war heads as I literally have to manually defend or else it'll go off
noname851443, the 02/12/2021
Amazing game. Should add more weapons and I found that the developers are responding, amazing gameplay. Hoping for best.
noname904455, the 02/12/2021
Absolutely wonderful addicting game. With a few more complex additions I believe it could go so far as to be a pc game. It takes actual skill and fast reaction time. 10/10 would recommend
noname528569, the 02/12/2021
The game is unbalenced and unfair, the multiplayer can be annoying and the single player is broken you could have 2 ai in your game and they will make an allaince and destroy you in seconds because the ai have nearly unlimited bombs.
noname551506, the 02/12/2021
This is a very good nuclear war game. The multiplayer feature makes it even more fun. But a lot of content in the game is locked behind pay wall and you have to pay for a lot of things in the game. If you would make even more countries accessible without any sort of payment, it would be a welcome addition. The game might also experience a significant increase in popularity if more countries are accessible. I would love to see more features becoming free in the game and the community will love it
noname844971, the 12/09/2025
I've been a long time enjoyer of the game, playing it on multiple occasions, installing it and deleting it multiple times. Yesterday I decided to try out the free trial of the Premium and managed to play 2, maybe 3 times before I ran into a problem. Since my last match, the game won't let me choose the number of enemies, like I literally can't choose a number, which won't let me proceed to the next screen no matter what I do. I tried restarting the game and my phone. Major game breaking issue.
noname649247, the 12/09/2025
I want to start with, it's an absolutely great game. Lots of fun... but... first day I've played it since they went full monetization, I bought some items because the game is worth the purchase... then I opened the app again some hours later and I lost my purchases. I never got money back as if I may have accidentally restored purchases. Every time I close the app and open it later on, I lose everything.
noname375063, the 12/09/2025
The content price change is understandable. I do understand the price change, but it is impossible to play the game without buying things, but the game is free. It's like getting a car for free, but you only got the frame, and you have to buy everything else. While I understand, it would be nice to simply add more paid things that aren't necessary, perhaps add ads. Anyways, the game is quite entertaining, but the price change upsets me.
noname103304, the 12/09/2025
This game would be perfect with a few minor changes. I know the developers were concerned with profitability, so the monetization was somewhat understandable. However, I would like to be able to play as any country for free again (particularly the USA). You should also consider adding a simple naval vessel mechanic in which players would be able to build ports and subsequently submarines and/or destroyers, and you should really fix the excessively sensitive hit box of the cities.
noname453106, the 12/09/2025
I'm not really the person to put a review but come on now. Everyone used to love your game, but now you put everything (including multiplayer) in ad and pay walls. You even took All of our progress and now we can't progress into the game. Just obliterating any type of fun it had. I understand you guys have to raise money, but this is not it, especially when you upped the price. The prices aren't that much, I am grateful that you did that....but my point still stands. ?
noname230220, the 12/09/2025
The recent updates pushed a a new mean of unlocking the powers, and that is EXCLUSIVELY with IAPs. This isn't how it was in the past, and the fact some of them were purposely LOCKED even if you had access to them beforehand is the breaking point. Bring back the "unlock via challenges" way or I'm never touching the game again. Another alternative is a full on Buy2Play version of the game with all content unlocked, since that's the way more people tend to accept.
noname262281, the 12/09/2025
I'm pretty much on OG and I've had a lot of experience with bugs in this game in the past. With the new update some went away but it brought new one that make the game less fun. First of all, if you open the diplomacy menu in early game, it gets stuck on peace talks the bar does not go up niether does the bar when researching or building a missle. Also, if you play with more than 5 enemies, they all focus YOU. You cant win because of them teaming even if they are not in a peace pact!!. Plz fix!!
noname270252, the 12/09/2025
Game was great before the new update, between the influx of ads and wanting money to unlock nations just seems excessively greedy. They're claiming that charging for the united states was a glitch, but seems fairly purposeful seeing as it's a different price and it used to be the starting point of the game. Good luck to those who keep playing.
noname931698, the 12/09/2025
This is a downgrade from the classic version there seem to be many problems. There is no hint that shows you how to unlock other nations, ui is a bit "funky" at sometimes but other than that the single-player is fine. The multiplayer on the other hand is just terrible and needs work problems with connectivity issues, no apparent way to communicate with other players so diplomacy is not a thing and the last thing is the tickets seriously i have to watch and ad or wait to play a single game.
noname234112, the 12/09/2025
I love the game, I played it for hours straight when I first got it, however, Everytime I left it alone too long on pause, it would need to reload the game, and all my progress would be lost. And the one time I got to almost conquering the world, the game made it so I couldn't rotate or zoom the map, so I couldn't get to the rest of the world where I needed to be. Love the game but needs a little more ironing out.
noname299194, the 12/09/2025
This used to be one of the best games imaginable. There was no fault to be found. It had no bugs and glitches, no paywalls, no disruptive ads (keyword, disruptive), and everything was great. Now, they're ruining it. Not even worth trying anymore. Paywalls everywhere, bugs and lag galore, and all my progress is gone. And the worst part? I have to pay 13 bucks just to go back to what I used to enjoy. 13 isn't a big number, sure, but come on. At least give us veteran players a freebie on that one..
noname708999, the 12/09/2025
This game used to be fun a few years back. But when I reinstalled it, it became a complete cash grab compared to what it used to be. Don't get me wrong, it still is fun, but just about every country is behind a pay wall now. You used to be able to unlock every country via playing the game. If you could make them unlockable again, I would easily put this at five stars (even more than five stars if I could).
noname276436, the 12/09/2025
Game has turned into a paywall. You used to complete in-game challenges for more superweapons and countries. Now, you have to buy those exact same things. They've added more content, but you can't use it without paying. I'm disappointed in this, the game was so much fun to play. I'd rather they start introducing adds then lock off so much content behind paywalls. Even the global strike trident and the U.S. requires payment, which used to be first things you played with. I'll miss this game ?
noname679202, the 12/09/2025
This game was a favorite of mine, easy 5 stars, so much fun and everything was unlockable through gameplay, it was close to perfect. Then they updated it, changed some things, added some things, and I lost all my progress. Okay no big deal I'll just unlock it all again, games update it happens. And now it's ruined. So much of the game, and I mean a huge piece of it, are locked behind a pay wall. Even if you had it before, not anymore. Makes me sad and angry to see another good game fall to greed
noname708894, the 12/09/2025
Honesty the costs are crazy because this game was really fun and addicting until I reinstalled the game and saw that every nation has to be bought and the two superweapons along with two other "nations" ain't free no more. It's like you have to make a subscription. And I haven't really bought anything after the update, but I remember having other nations I don't know how much long ago, but I lost those too. I highly recommend playing this when you hear about a new update or so.
noname362228, the 12/09/2025
Damn I sure love to watch the world burns. Jokes aside, it's fun, pretty fast paced I guess? Haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but I think I wouldn't want to go wage war on real human player, that would be 1000s times harder. Game is lagging while there's a bunch of nukes exploding right at your face, other than that it's fine, I hope the dev will add graphical setting later on, also sometimes zooming in/out doesn't work, it's kinda clunky.
noname304284, the 12/09/2025
The game is honestly amazing. It captivates you and you find yourself playing it more and more despite thinking it's only another phone game. it's fun and a great experience of gameplay on a phone. However, the only complaint I have is that it is a bit dark at times. when an area is hit the map goes very dark and is quite hard to see enemy locations even though I'm playing this on a Samsung galaxy note 9.
noname642716, the 12/09/2025
Its a good game but I got a few bugs here and there . But 1 of it is game breaking as in when you make all other country gives up and IF the game lags you are forced to quit the game as you would not progress further and when you press continue after restarting the game you would never progress any further . Well at least I conquer the world but I can't progress normally without starting a new game.
noname564188, the 12/09/2025
Used to be my favorite game of all time until they started updating it. Lost all my unlocked items, ok nbd I'll do it again, come back a year later and it is the biggest scam. Every single item I owned is locked behind a pay wall whether it's a subscription or individual item transactions. Maybe I would consider a one time payment for a game if they didn't constantly delete my progress and and a huge pay wall that could end up with me paying hundreds of $$ for a mobile game. What a far fall...
