- [R4] Battle Legion Pay to win let down: Cool game. Locked behind money annoyances. You simply can’t progress without spending real money. No thanks.
- [R13] Battle Legion Honest review: So I first discovered this game years ago and recently found it again and decided to download it cause it was fun. It’s a fun game, different units, art is great, Strat is fun, but it’s really heavy on paying for gems and such, not really good for ftp players. Also, it seems the player base is gone because I looked at a ton of clans and tall their members have been inactive for 1 to
- [R15] Battle Legion Loved the game at first.: So I loved the game at first but then things got pay to win.
- [R16] Battle Legion Unbalanced: Have fun staying in low rank because you’re never going to climb if you don’t have enough shards to level up the specific units to create a Busted overpowered Comp with no counter play.
- [R1] Battle Legion Opens Browser Regularly & MTX Everywhere: App keeps opening the web browser to access random websites before opening the store during ad views. Ads they partner with will sometimes automatically do this, even if the phone is not touched. Shoves 5-10 ads in your face every launch which several dozen MTX in the shop among the worst value I've ever seen in a MTX store (regularly 6.99 for a minor pow
- [R3] Battle Legion Annoyed by overly aggressive IAP “deals” that ruin gameplay features as well as buggy ads: Never been so annoyed before by a feature so as to score this low. The game has an “auto” play feature that allows you to automatically match and fight opponents x number of times per day. Doing so allows you to accumulate some basic rewards for the wins you get. Sounds great. The problem: the game is so ag
- [R37] Battle Legion A lot of forced pop-up ads and “quality of life updates”: Tons of pop-up ads that you can’t get rid of for a brief period of time. “Quality of life” updates that add things like you can only progress the story part three times until they’re replenished or watch ads yayyy!
- [R39] Battle Legion Royal shipment😒: Love this game but every time I get a royal shipment it says watch an ad but the problem is the ad never shows and just ends up saying processing when u come off it’s very frustrating. If your game can show pop ads then It should be able to show a ad for a reward😒😒
- [R10] Battle Legion Good game but: Game is fun honestly alot of fun. But once I unlocked pvp the dumb tutorial forces you to click it then make you click your army in the bottom left corner. Then the game freezes I’ve uninstalled and reinstall and same thing happens so the game is just unplayable once you unlock pvp? I don’t even want to play pvp but since they force you too and the game is bugged I can’t progress pa
- [R20] Battle Legion Need of fixes: For starters, my season pass that I had purchased no longer is functional so that’s the thing I hope that is resolved and part of the reason why I’m doing this review the other is that I am in a guild and I have lots of shorts that are on nonfunctional to myself and I would like to give them to my brother, but I am heavily limited in the aspect of me being able to give him shards an
- [R21] Battle Legion El juego: me pase horas jugándolo, y de repente cuando fui a volver a entrar no me carga, carga hasta el 8% y me dice que no se pudo conectar al servidor, y bueno para un juego que me gusto bastante, me decepciona eso, ya que el internet no es el problema y reinicie el móvil por si era algo de él y nada, sigue sin cargar
- [R11] Battle Legion Used to be a better game: I’ve been playing this game almost since it was made and the original developers, before they sold it to godspeed, had everything pretty locked down and perfect. Godspeed took over and started implementing all these unnecessary changes and additions and it’s definitely not as fun to play anymore. Still a fun game and one of the only games like it though.
- [R34] Battle Legion Desperate and sad: This game use to be epic now however the new patch they decided to charge ppl gems just to play campaign y’all need money that bad??? How about maybe adding something to the game that would make ppl want to spend money it’s crazy u think we should spend our money just to play ur games I’m done I’ll take my interests to Top Troops!!!
- [R19] Battle Legion What’s the point?: Game was great until I got to the point where it was almost impossible to win anything. No matter what I did, I lost. Every..single..time.
- [R27] Battle Legion Beware, the fights are not fair: Longtime player, army average level is around 90-109, so I know what I see. They need to remove the paywall buff the other team receives and actually make the fights fair. It is painfully obvious at the higher levels when bad rng and constant freezing of my team while the other team gets massive health regeneraton to the point of being unkillable and increased spee
- [R33] Battle Legion Pay to win: Game is okay it’s addictive at times however it’s pay to win. Yes position of ur units matters etc however you go a load of trophies up and the game decides to put u up against something u can’t simply win and u drop back down 200 again… pay to win
- [R51] Hearthstone Long time user, unplayable due to bugs: I’ve been a long time player of headstone, played it for around 8 years on mobile. The game unplayable on iOS due to constant crashes and disconnects. It crashed immediately on opening the shop every time so I can’t buy packs, It crashes on opening collection, it crashes at least once every other game making almost impossible to play. This has been an ongoin
- [R52] Hearthstone Good game but it has to may hackers: Been playing this game for years. Lots of fun! However, recently I have noticed that everyday single game my opponent draws a quest on the very first card, which is typically impossible to happen back to back. We only have one out of 30 Chance to draw it, yet it happens 9/10 games… This is just one small example of a massive amount of hacking going on this game
- [R53] Hearthstone Greedy: These people are very greedy, miss the old blizzard.
- [R54] Hearthstone Petty game: They put you up against opponents based on how much money you spend, if you spend money the algorithm gives you easy “Xmas noobs-target practice “ wins but if you don’t spend money they will put u up against elite activision hack to win decks, insiders secret…. Must have rotten moral fiber to win.
- [R65] Art of War Stealing?: Just got charged 3.99 for a battle pass and I didn’t even purchase it. What’s going on?
- [R66] Art of War Wonderful: I played this game until I was on level 5000. Then, my phone got stolen and my progress was lost. Back up to level 800.
- [R67] Art of War Decent game: Fun time waster that you don’t have to spend money on but it did cheat me out of resources and units today which it hasn’t done before. Very disappointing.
- [R68] Art of War Na: Every time the Home Depot app comes on this game will force you go to the Home Depot site or whoever the faucet company site !unacceptable I will no longer spend a dime on this game !
- [R79] TFT Bad game: Stop deleting 1-star comments
- [R81] TFT Fun game, no sustain or incentive to stay: The game itself is very fun. With that said, I don’t understand how these same people have created such a low-iq mmr system. I started two sets ago and was a solid gold player. After learning and investing much time my mmr is so trash from my time as a beginner I will go 1st 1st 2nd , then lose all my lp gained by coming in 7th. Makes no sense. No reason
- [R82] TFT Game is bad without Mort: The newest set is by far the worst. Now that mortdog is gone the game will never recover
- [R83] TFT Can't play without WiFi: Can't play without WiFi
- [R93] Warhammer 40,000 Garbage: I don’t know where these people got the idea of what turned based game is because this game isn’t good at all. Got to the first boss battle and lost due to game not knowing how a sniper works and enemies being too spongy. Warhammer deserves better than this and I wouldn’t support this trash. Avoid if you want a good turn based game.
- [R94] Warhammer 40,000 I HATEE YOUU: I was trying to get kharn and Trajann but instead of getting those two characters I got two legendary tau characters and I hate tau so now i have no more happiness 💔💔😔😔😭😭
- [R95] Warhammer 40,000 A little too hard: The dark angels campaign is way too hard and you need to grind A LOT……still good game
- [R96] Warhammer 40,000 They delete these negative reviews: They constantly update the ai to force you to spend money. They have “creators” they pay to promote and make guides for the game and then make the guides obsolete. Do not let them get your money.
- [R107] Hero Squad Laggy this download: Downloaded the 4th or so time real laggy this time
- [R108] Hero Squad 👍: Deserves update if possible I think this game is addicting in my opinion👍
- [R109] Hero Squad Update needed. ⚠️: I want to keep playing this game, but it needs an update. Not just to upgrade the squad, but to recent iOS devices, bug fixes, and improvements. Please Kwalee, update this game, even if it’s just a minor update. I'm not trying to be critical, we just want updates that include the following listed. 🙏🏻
- [R110] Hero Squad Crazy Lag: The game was fun when I first downloaded it. I love the amount of upgrades it offers but for the past 4-5 months there has been a terrible lag in the gameplay. I was hoping they would’ve fixed it by now with the newest update but no change still.
- [R117] Hero Squad Just a good game in general: All those other people are probably robots, and I do not know what they are talking about. You can play this game anywhere at any time. Wi-Fi or no, it’s an awesome mobile game.
- [R55] Hearthstone Good games. Persistent bugs on ios are annoying: Its a fun game. Ive enjoyed it a lot over the years. Recently there have been crashes in the in game store and even during gameplay which are still being sorted out.
- [R60] Hearthstone Unplayable on iOS: It is inexcusable that this game is still unplayable on iOS. If you don’t plan to ever fix it, you might as well take it off the App Store and not steal our money with your faulty unusable constantly crashing product.
- [R62] Hearthstone Kicks you out mid game: Your gonna get kicked off mid game almost every time you play on app-sucks
