  1. [R1] Total Battle 1/5 · US Fake game: I downloaded the game cause the ad looked fun, but the game was stupid. Please no one buy this. I’m begging.
  2. [R3] Total Battle 3/5 · US Not quite what is advertised: The game play is all over the map. What you see in ads is fun, until you’re completely blocked from playing because you have to complete these insane tasks. Just let us play the game. Oh and you need WiFi/service. It’s an A for effort, but a big pass for me sadly.
  3. [R22] Total Battle 1/5 · US What even: This game is nothing like the previews
  4. [R28] Total Battle 1/5 · US Not what I thought: So you all know how we’ve seen these ads probably about this game and it looks really fun but the game is nothing like that and it’s not worth
  5. [R5] Total Battle 4/5 · US Fun: Total Battle is one of the more fun games I’ve played in a while. You have to spend real money if you want to advance quickly but the prices are not too bad.
  6. [R9] Total Battle 3/5 · US The ultimate pay-to-play&win game: If you don’t mind paying tons of money, this game can be fun. I definitely think they hired some psychologists to figure out how to get people to spend money in a game. The first day they give you all the perks, after that you have to start paying for them and it is not cheap…at all. If you’re exceedingly patient and don’t mind waiting five days between actions
  7. [R12] Total Battle 3/5 · US Great strategy game: The social and political dynamics of the clan system makes the game difficult to scale in without being a SUPER SPENDER to pay to play. I love that you can play for free, but the social dynamics and rules made within game by clans make it almost impossible to enjoy long term for fear of being bullied out.
  8. [R15] Total Battle 3/5 · US Pricey: Great entertainer, but it’s pricey when it comes to the supplies you need.
  9. [R6] Total Battle 3/5 · US Kinda fun: So basically, your game is pretty fun and I like the feature where you can like move side to side and like get people and try to defeat the monsters but I think the game is a little complicated overall because it’s telling me to like teleport like I’m a new player, but it’s telling me to teleport and build portals and upgrade these houses and I’ll do all this other stuff. I kinda just w
  10. [R7] Total Battle 1/5 · US Sucks: Spent way to much time to repair two mansions but there was only one. Delete!! Delete!!! Delete!!
  11. [R16] Total Battle 1/5 · US Hate it: Of course, after just a few rounds, there’s no way to play without paying money. Overly complicated and so many unnecessary steps and storylines in between being able to play Rounds. Some people like that kind of thing, but I find it to be a drag.
  12. [R24] Total Battle 3/5 · US It’s Fine: I like the intricacies of everything involved. It can be a little confusing. But I’m still waiting for game to match up with all of the ads I see. The ads look fun and none of my mini games have looked like that
  13. [R27] Total Battle 3/5 · GB Glitching like mad: The game has been glitching like CRAZY - so draining to play these day having to come in and out and then again. Today the game crashed maybe 30+ times, what’s going on? Everytime there’s a new event you have all of this slow down. So exhausting. When the game runs well, it can be fine. But honestly you have to pay a lot to get the good stuff and also to stay in the game. Would
  14. [R42] Total Battle 3/5 · GB Xjxn: I hate your game it keeps disconnecting I hate it so much
  15. [R34] Total Battle 1/5 · US Clan/Click: So first off, you need to know that you can’t play this game unless you join a clan. You will only be able to advance up to a certain point. So unless you want to interact with other people and deal with a lot of unfriendly women I wouldn’t father downloading this game. Don’t spend any money on it. In my experience unless you are die hard about this game most likely you won’t survive.
  16. [R40] Total Battle 1/5 · US Support: Game is fun but the support team is lacking. I’ve had multiple questions that I’ve submitted over the last few days and none of them have been answered. In addition, have spent hundreds of dollars on this game and have just been locked out with no explanation as to why. Due to the time sensitivity of events can’t help but feel like they just stole my money.
  17. [R51] Mob Control 1/5 · US To many ads: Fun game to play, however plan on spending more time watching ads than actually playing. Cut down on the ads and I might consider another Voodoo game. But until then, I’m out.
  18. [R52] Mob Control 5/5 · US Not like the ad: It’s not quite like the ad, but similar and really fun!
  19. [R54] Mob Control 2/5 · US Ads upon ads: Fun game but lots of bots and ads between every 2-3 min game. Remove the ads it would be good, with ads it is a waste of time..
  20. [R55] Mob Control 4/5 · US Good game with one problem: The game is really good super fun easy game o learn with one problem I wasn’t able to regain my progress after deleted and redownloaded so I had to restart my progress so pls find my og account and pls restore it for me and way to many ads every match i finish I get ads! And I can’t play offline
  21. [R65] Boom Beach 1/5 · US Don’t bother: Game is designed where u drop In and instantly become feeder for players 20 levels higher than you. Makes it super annoying. Doesn’t help I had an account when the game came out and the useless auto support can’t find it. 0/10 do not waste your time
  22. [R66] Boom Beach 4/5 · US Great but the resource costs become absurd: At around level 19 the cost to upgrade buildings becomes too absurd to manage so it needs a rework.
  23. [R69] Boom Beach 5/5 · US Best game ever: I really enjoyed this,i love upgrade my base
  24. [R70] Boom Beach 3/5 · US Improvements: Takes too long to build bases and costs too much to upgrade troops. The instant troop revive needs to stay all the time as well.
  25. [R87] Evony 3/5 · US 5 Year Experience: Firstly, shame on the developers for years of consistent false advertising. None of the advertised mechanics appear in-game. That said, I have played this game for over 5 years because I joined an alliance with the kindest people who became like family. We even held a memorial when one of us passed away in real life. One last criticism: pay-to-play people often end up becoming b
  26. [R88] Evony 1/5 · US Rip off!: Don’t play. Expensive & Glitchy game. What’s promised is not delivered. You will have to spend $500.00+ a months just to keep up and be average player.
  27. [R90] Evony 3/5 · US It took me 3 years to quit…: I don’t know why all the advertisements for this game are fake. There is zero shooting with monsters and guns. Instead, it’s a slow grinding city builder with no real action and requires real money to achieve anything in a reasonable amount of time.
  28. [R91] Evony 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The people that controls the game allow bullies to steal accounts, bully others and doesn’t do anything about it even if you have proof.. This game isn’t worth investing money in it.. It’s best to play Mafia City
  29. [R93] Top War 1/5 · US False Ad: Not at all what is shown.
  30. [R94] Top War 4/5 · US Fun game: I like that you get to larger combat immediately instead of slowly like other similar games. Still a little confused about building etc. and stages.
  31. [R96] Top War 1/5 · US Trash: Two minutes in and it’s a completely different game. Don’t waste your time.
  32. [R97] Top War 5/5 · US I love top war: It’s fun and when you join the right alliance then you can talk to your allies like a family and friend and I love how you can always get new events after a week but I think it’s can be also be played by kids from ages to 9+ because it’s a great game
  33. [R108] War and Order 5/5 · US Repeat user: Great game for adults
  34. [R109] War and Order 3/5 · US Too many pop ups: There is absolutely too many pop-ups when first logging into game. It would be nice if you can at least do the pop-ups after a few minutes. Especially on war day when we need to put a shield on in a hurry and then the stupid pop-ups come delaying. On top of that healing and recovering troops is a very slow. This game should allow the user to have the advantage by having notifi
  35. [R112] War and Order 3/5 · US Pricing: Game is free to play, but , to be a contender it cost way to much money taking away from the enjoyment of the game. There needs to be more balance for none paying players to complete with those who spend thousands
  36. [R113] War and Order 2/5 · US Fun but expensive: In this game you HAVE to spend money regularly to be competitive. Playing this game without money is terrible, there is no way to compete fairly without having to fork out a lot of money.
  37. [R56] Mob Control 3/5 · US ENOUGH ADS: Stop with the amount of ads!!!
