  1. [R4] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Too hard: The game is too hard and makes it almost impossible. I have paid 80 to get some generals and upgrades but to no avail. Tank commanders are still so underpowered on events it’s ridiculous. Save your time and money and time.
  2. [R25] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US To hard: Bro is to hard
  3. [R33] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · GB Gameplay: This game is way too hard. Don’t get it.
  4. [R44] World Conqueror 4 2/5 · US Impossible to beat: I have tried to beat the beginning campaign multiple times multiple hours just for Germany and Italy and Spain to stomp on all the allies. This game is no longer fun or does not seem ascertainable.
  5. [R6] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · US PLLLLEAAASEEEE MAKE CONQUEST FAIR: Please make it to where the elite units in conquest are either the same level or Mabye 1 level difference. Right now with only having level three vs level 9 it’s impossible without paying money to win. Please make it more fair.
  6. [R16] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US P2W: Game blows
  7. [R22] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Pay to Win: The time spent in this game vs the achievements/improvements obtained are completely miss aligned. I have been playing for months (because I enjoy the game) and even bought a couple times but it's impossible to scale up. What you receive for completing missions and battles is sooooooooo little compared to what you need to improve your generals. Honestly I am giving up
  8. [R1] World Conqueror 4 2/5 · US Ehhhhh: The game itself is very cool, it simulates from the eyes of generals moving divisions around on fronts, but every country that seems strong is strong until you play as them. It would also be cool to see some AI innovation come to the game. Maybe be able to request diplomacy or cities from your allies, it should be one stars are the easiest countries and three are the hardest because you ha
  9. [R15] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · US Fix ai: While the game is enjoyable the ai when you play conquest is terrible, and seems to all ways put you in a losing position by not helping for example when I play as the allies as India I notice if I’m not directly funding people like the uk or Russia or even France they completely lose there provinces In Africa and Asia also Australia literally does nothing at all to help ( I would recomme
  10. [R19] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Domination mode sucks: AI cheats and gets a bunch of gold and soldiers, makes it impossible to actually have a fun game, if you pick allies, all allied countries are useless and don’t help, same for axis. I pick Finland and get boned by USSR, and they are a powerhouse in the War. I chose India and check that the world spending Finnish empire had taken the USSR. Has potential but balancing sucks
  11. [R42] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Do not download this game!: Don’t download this game as it’s severely pay to win and most of the time can’t win without buying overpowered generals, also don’t download this game because the Ai is stupid and almost non existent doesn’t even help you in the scenarios missions and just takes your cities so you can’t build your troops, fix your game don’t download!!!!!!!
  12. [R2] World Conqueror 4 5/5 · US Really good just one thing: I really like the game since it almost never gets boring but i would recommend making a custom map maker or even expanding onto steam if you haven’t already so people can use the workshop but anyways with the custom map maker it would be really nice cuz there’s only so many scenarios you can make yourself and even then some people dont like things about them and if anyt
  13. [R20] World Conqueror 4 4/5 · US Add sandbox: It’s a really good game but I think the dev should add a sandbox thing where you can pick a battleField and Spawn armies and fight them. But over all I love this game
  14. [R21] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · GB Bored at last: Only has the old world war’s countries but no modern countries In new modern world After Playing for long time U become bored of same old world war 2 countries tbh
  15. [R23] World Conqueror 4 5/5 · US PLAY THAT GAME AND THANKS ME LATER !!!: I love the game we can see the differences between the 3 and the 4 , I would think of it even better if we would have a lot of more map in conquest like 2017 or 2026 and mostly with neutral playing country were we could chose side . The only thing I would like to change would be the scenario and the Numbers of medals gain cause I waiste many time by waiting
  16. [R7] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Not letting me play: Absolute joke of a game fix this or I will delete please fix this my favorite game
  17. [R10] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Failure: I can’t get into the game, it just won’t load
  18. [R28] World Conqueror 4 1/5 · US Payments: I bought a 5.99 bundle it charged me $20.48…. That’s horrible I use Venmo maybe then but for now it lays here
  19. [R31] World Conqueror 4 2/5 · US Two years gone! Why can't it auto-save?! Ah! Ah! · translated
  20. [R12] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · US Later playthroughs: As you playthrough with different countries it becomes impossible to tell which countries you have not played when trying for achievements. The game has alot of side things and its never clear what to do next.
  21. [R13] World Conqueror 4 2/5 · US Understanding Generals: Needs more tutorial or guidance
  22. [R53] State.io 3/5 · US Davis: The game is fun, but I feel like I’m playing against bots they should add online
  23. [R54] State.io 2/5 · US Fun maybe: It’s fun and challenging in regular mode but in PvP it is frustrating because you are playing all bots in the higher levels. Turn off internet and you’ll see. I wouldn’t mind waiting a minute for real players.
  24. [R55] State.io 4/5 · US Wow: This is honestly just a really well made game and it surprised me
  25. [R59] State.io 3/5 · US My Review :3: 1. Too many ads (lessen the amount of ads, please 😭) 2. Multiplayer is definitely fake (PLEASE add real multiplayer 🫶) 3. Kinda fun to play, but you’ll run out of stuff to do after a while Anyways, Goodbye.
  26. [R66] Arena of Valor 5/5 · US Yes, is decent: I like it, actually I want to stay playing this game… but the matches are to quickly. Maybe is just me, but feels that 15 kills is ending game, idk how to explain it. I’m new in the game, so i would see after a month. (I been playing 1 week)
  27. [R67] Arena of Valor 3/5 · US Match making is awful...: Constantly throwing bad teammates to you, while the other team is a group and experienced.
  28. [R71] Arena of Valor 1/5 · US Exploit problem: I play this game since release, with not too big of player base in this version. The game developers still dont have time to ban all the exploiter. The amount of exploiter scale higher with the higher ranking in game. There are guild in game that specifically recruits map hacker and selling exploits platform. Imagine you are high ranker, you have to wait 5-10 minutes for a match
  29. [R72] Arena of Valor 5/5 · US Great but not great??: I absolutely love this game but there are some downsides. I have friends in Taiwan but I can’t even play with them :(. They have the ASIAN version of this game. Garena or whatever. And, the skins are AMAZIINNGGG, but they cost real money… can u make them cost coins instead?? Because coins are ready so hard to make since you only get 100 or something every match and hero’s co
  30. [R80] Supremacy 5/5 · US Very Fun: A lot of people think the game is pay to win, but it is not, it is just a skill issue. I have won many games without spending a dollar.
  31. [R83] Supremacy 5/5 · US So good: It is a great strategy game if you were bored and just a great strategy if you aren’t
  32. [R86] Supremacy 5/5 · US Amazing game!: Love this game! It is just like what I had imagined when I saw it. Great military strategy game.
  33. [R87] Supremacy 3/5 · US Why so long: This game takes 2 hours to make one move
  34. [R95] Ages of Conflict World War Sim 3/5 · US The game is good but….: I mean the game is good but you basically need to pay just to play the game
  35. [R96] Ages of Conflict World War Sim 1/5 · US Pls read this: So every time I open ages of conflict why are the scenarios locked I tried to every thing it said to do but it never unlocked and when I refreshed it it’s still unlocked pls help!
  36. [R97] Ages of Conflict World War Sim 5/5 · US Amazing game but could use more maps: The world has changed a lot, especially Asia. 908 and 2026 for Asia doesn’t exactly make Asia fun to simulate.
  37. [R99] Ages of Conflict World War Sim 1/5 · US Looked good but..: Please add a better free version.
  38. [R107] European War 6 1/5 · US Unbeatable: I've played many different countries and have came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter which team you pick you'll lose. I pick British Empire and can see the other Empires get demolished by the opposing forces and when I pick France I see the empires are demolishing the opposing forces it just doesn't matter which side you're on you lose and it feels like it's pay to play to even
  39. [R110] European War 6 1/5 · US Worthless cash grab: Don’t waste your time and especially money on this worthless game. You will not be able to achieve and sort of success without spending money on generals and massive upgrades for those generals. And they still will be weaker than enemy generals. Pathetic.
  40. [R112] European War 6 3/5 · US European war 4 is way better i love that game this one is just ok: Bring it back to the basics this is not what we wanted newer isnt always better graphics are cool but u guys added all these features and i hate how the general’s are now
  41. [R113] European War 6 1/5 · US Polished, but extremely hard.: It’s a very polished, nice graphics game. However the reason I am giving it a one star rating is that it starts off way too hard. Just the tutorial level seem impossible, I might as well have a better chance of taking over all of Europe then beating a singular level in this game. Maybe I need to improve my “strategy skills” or maybe I am unaware of a way to change di
  42. [R61] State.io 4/5 · US Fun but short: Game is great. Honestly not sure if multiplayer is actual multiplayer or just bots.
  43. [R88] Supremacy 1/5 · US Everything takes too long: I don’t have time to wait like 12 hours and there fast game mode still like 3 hours for troops and building make a whole mode for just like everthing is quick
  44. [R51] State.io 1/5 · US Nothing But Ads: This game is nothing but ads. By far the worst game I have ever played. The developers are nothing but money greedy losers. Get a job morons!
  45. [R58] State.io 5/5 · US Ads: The game is great, but could you please not put ads every two plays? Instead of forcing players to watch ads to receive rewards, you could let them click on the ads themselves.
  46. [R62] State.io 3/5 · US Super fun: Ad heavy. I was loving it but after every battle you watch another ad. I deleted it after 30 minutes.
