What players say

Mixed opinion: players like the quick, Company of Heroes-style RTS matches, but many say paying players gain an edge that makes progress frustrating.

Many players enjoy the fast, short real-time matches and the card-based unit selection, and several say it is a fun way to play with friends in 2v2. Some describe it as a solid mobile port of a classic WWII RTS, with tactics that change between opponents. Many complaints centre on pay to win: players who spend money get stronger units earlier, and newcomers meet high-level armies they cannot beat. Some players also report weak matchmaking, unbalanced nations and units, and advertising that appears after almost every match. Technical issues such as lag, unresponsive mouse input and lost accounts come up too. Opinion is mixed: most players who spent under 20 hours do not recommend it, while those with 20 to 200 hours mostly do.

Praised

  • Fast, accessible RTS matches

    Short real-time battles that can be finished in fifteen minutes and feel like a compact Company of Heroes.

    Many players
  • Fun with friends in 2v2

    Players enjoy team matches with friends and say the game is still enjoyable when played solo.

    Some players
  • Tactics against different opponents

    Reviewers say choosing and combining units to counter different armies keeps matches varied.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Pay to win progression

    Players who spend money get stronger, higher-level units, and newer players are often beaten by them.

    Many players
  • Unfair matchmaking

    Reviewers report facing opponents of much higher level, and some say matches feel like bots.

    Many players
  • Intrusive advertising and purchase offers

    Reviewers say shop offers and ads appear after nearly every action, especially between matches.

    Many players
  • Unbalanced units and nations

    Some units are overpowered or overpriced while others are weak, and certain nations feel unfair to play against.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who like quick RTS games with friends and can accept paying players having an advantage.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who want a balanced competitive game or dislike pay-to-win and frequent ads.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly do not recommend the game, mainly because of the pay-to-win progression they hit early; players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it, praising its tactics and matches.
