Galaxy S22 Ultra: Currently unplayable as it crashes after loading starting/loading a game. Worked for a short time after upgrading to this phone but it has suddenly stopped; I see a majority of the other S22 reviews are similar if not the same. Galaxy S10+: Fun time killer, super addicting! Gameplay is smooth and feels balanced. Controls are easy and manageable. Definitely recommend.

This game is unplayable in 2022. Iran is impossible on hardcore with JUST 8 countries alone. I can't imagine it with 10 countries. The game is unbeatable because of this one country atleast. The devs really screwed up something along the way, I remember it used to be beatable but no way bro not in 2022. Absolutely ruined, uninstalled the game I thought would stay forever, and won't be going to the new free updated one.

It isn't a completely bad game, don't get me wrong. It can be fun, but it's just ruined by the developer. This game is abandoned for the F2P version, it won't be getting any new content, and is very very overpriced. With how much the game costs you can get one of the ported Total war games or CoH. Tldr; Not worth the price for the gameplay, and it will not be updated.

I originally purchased this game and it was enjoyable, since the update I don't care for it, the treaties don't last long at all and in most cases can't be reestablished. I also notice that the game declares a winner before it's completely done. I still had some enemy territory to defeat and the game ended suddenly declaring me the winner, that's no fun

Really fun game, but freezes randomly and sometimes when i was playing, the land I expand have no missle bases, the only thing that land can do is to expand to other lands. Sometimes the whole continent becomes that. But the main reason for this rate is that today Google updated this game as the classic one, but what I bought and played is final hour, so this update replaces my final hour with the classics one. I've already unlocked almost all content, now all of my progress is lost.

Had to delete the free version to get this to install (Samsung S10+) Great idea & graphics and controls (except for on the poles) so great fun when it is working. Still learning how to play and fund the pace a little fast. Big downside - the load/save game doesn't seem to work. It's a 4 or 5 star game without this glitch and I am happy to pay to play without ads.

The game per se is good, but the bugs are game-breaking... :/. - continue game button in main menu is broken - sometimes the UI just stops reacting, and the game has to be closed, but then u cant continue after because the continue button doesn't work :p This makes the game unplayable at the moment, if not for these bugs, I'd defect definitely give it at least 4*.

On my Samsung Galaxy 9 it keeps on deleting the save data it will not save any of the data and anytime I get down to one country to go until I actually destroy them all I cannot unite my countries together because of that one country but the game freezes up because some odd reason they will not let me attack the last one to win the game. I do enjoy this game a lot but wasting a whole bunch of time not to win.

Yeah this
Buggy, reloading a save never works, occasionally you can't move around forcing you to close the app and lose all your progress because the save doesn't work, allies will attack you, they are still your allies afterwards , I hate the fact I still have to unlock countries and superweapons, and some regions are too small, while others are way too big. ALSO THE GAME FREEZES AFTER YOU WIN?! After 6 mins a peace offer was rejected, 500 charcter isn't enough to list all the bugs. AND 2 LATE 4 REFUND

Lovely game but the save game function doesn't work. Sometimes it shows there is a saved game but has no way of restoring it and sometimes it just doesn't save. The gameplay itself is fun but when you have a lot of territory you basically spend the entire game making missiles. It is tedious then but i still like it. If they fix the save bug I'll give 4 stars
