1. [R1] Total War 1/5 · US Sucks: This game sucks AND it runs horribly. I can’t stress enough how horribly the game truly runs
2. [R3] Total War 3/5 · US Big battles = crash: I loved this game back in the day, and was so excited to see it offered on a mobile platform. HOWEVER, don’t bother trying to fight the Mongols. Their armies are so huge, this app is almost guaranteed to crash. Beyond frustrating, especially after you’re already an hour or so invested in your carefully planned out and executed battle. Your options to reduce the graphics lo
3. [R4] Total War 1/5 · US Crash: Crashes randomly all the time, latest iphone & ios
4. [R6] Total War 3/5 · US Keep crashing: Keep crashing since the new update can’t spam cheat no more
5. [R7] Total War 1/5 · US Waste: So you’re telling me I spent all this money just to have to pay even more money to unlock the other half of the game. What a waste!
6. [R8] Total War 4/5 · US My personal ideas and thoughts on this game: This is a cool game and if you want to have big battles and cool strategy, then this is the game for you. Yes it does take a chunk of your bank account but it’s worth it. The reason for 4 stars is, well, the price. Also I don’t know if the developer would do this but, I think it would be cool if you could be one of the soldiers. This is my honest review
7. [R15] Total War 3/5 · US Cavalry?: This game is a complete scam, you buy it for 15 dollars and then have to pay even more to unlock the full game, I don’t mind that much since the game is fun but what I find a huge problem is that even on easy battles one group of cavalry can’t kill 1 group of Norse archers cause of some stupid bug where either cavalry doesn’t run or when it does it doesn’t charge, it just runs at the ene
8. [R28] Total War 1/5 · US Greed: The game is med 2 one of the best total wars it’s an amazing game and their phone version isn’t too bad, my issue is the greed with DLC you pay basically full price for the game which in steam gives you all the DLC since this game is very old instead they up charge every DLC and kick their new updates like hot-seat behind it most computers can run this game so if your just playing from home
9. [R5] Total War 5/5 · US please make it mod accessable: or have it like DOOM where they have pre installed mods built in. make it more replayable. even if you added 10 preinstalled mods we could use. it would still be amazing and add so much more replay value
10. [R11] Total War 5/5 · US This game is awesome but will iOS support mod support like android: This port is probably the best one I have kingdoms as well but I’d say it lacks replay ability so can you please allow mobile mod support like on pc or androids I’m using iOS iPad and wanna play great mods like tsardoms Finale rating 5 stars
11. [R33] Total War 3/5 · GB Need more units: Game is fun but unlike the pc version it can became stale. With the pc one we have the ability to access all the expansion kingdoms cool units and fractions in grand campaign. Good example is Greek flamethrowers. Byzantine’s have no gun power units but we can’t even get their best non gunpowder weapons in base game. Overall it’s fun for while but having the ability to mod or addin
12. [R35] Total War 5/5 · US I hope they add: Best game out there but I just wish they add multiplayer gameplay or multiplayer campaign
13. [R9] Total War 3/5 · US Hotseat bug: Love this game but I tried to fight a defensive battle in hotseat mode and despite having selected that I wish to have all battles be playable before starting my campaign the game just auto resolves every defensive battle. (this happened in crusaders campaign)
14. [R12] Total War 3/5 · US Great port, but…: It needs control controller support, backbone pro or any controller support like that would make it so much easier. My fingers freeze up, my forearms and hands begin to cramp which has prevented me from playing this very fun title time and time again when I want to come back to it.
15. [R13] Total War 2/5 · US Love Hate Relationship: I love the game, but hate the mechanics. AI doesn’t operate with any logic. I like the battles, but the campaign mode gets too frustrating
16. [R51] Total Battle 1/5 · US terrible: this game is no fun because you want to constantly shoot as they show you as the example of the game but then as you play, it seems to jump to some other level of game about rebuilding a city which is totally boring and you cannot follow it and thus what you think you’re getting and what you’re getting are two different thing
17. [R52] Total Battle 5/5 · US Muy caro: Muy caro jugarlo pero buen juego.
18. [R53] 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.
19. [R54] Total Battle 1/5 · US This is a money pit: Avoid this game… it’s all paywalls
20. [R65] 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
21. [R66] 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
22. [R67] World Conqueror 4 3/5 · US Not good enough: It’s just impossible to win with Germany.
23. [R68] 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.
24. [R79] Rise of Castles 1/5 · US System crash: Go to the game and it crashes all the time
25. [R80] Rise of Castles 4/5 · US Nice game: All the games, the same we need different game build an update. Build an update and take a time to build.
26. [R81] Rise of Castles 3/5 · US Even after binding the account, there's no login portal on other devices. · translated
27. [R82] Rise of Castles 1/5 · US Lies: When I started this game, they said you did not have to pay to play now they reward those that pay the most. If you’re not willing to literally spend 30, 40 $50,000 don’t play the game only those pay win. They also say they protect the rest of us from cheat codes or cheating. This is not true most of the big players use cheat codes or buy things online to give them an advantage again you got
28. [R93] ROME 1/5 · US -+30: Heats up after the update
29. [R94] ROME 5/5 · US It’s okay but needs a improvement: It’s fun I like it but it would be cool if there was better controls the game is very fun tho but controls are hard and not ez but cool!
30. [R95] ROME 3/5 · US Like old times: Love it
31. [R96] ROME 2/5 · US Please read: It’s so hard to get the controls down and it is so complicated to start a war. Also when u do start a war u can barely walk. Have to tap were u want to go and as e z as that sounds its not cause the way the u look around is so weird u have to like pinch ur fingers in a weird way. Any ways i DONT recommend this game.
32. [R107] Age of Empires Mobile 2/5 · US Nothing like the original, annoying ads claiming it is.: How did this take 7 years?
33. [R108] Age of Empires Mobile 5/5 · US Good: It’s fun so far kind of reminds me of the PC version
34. [R109] Age of Empires Mobile 3/5 · US Great game but: The App Store says it’s 9+ then when I sign in cause I’m 12 says you have to be 18 year older to play this game otherwise an amazing game. I played a long time ago when I was younger and my mom’s account but it’s just really sad.
35. [R110] Age of Empires Mobile 1/5 · US Battlefield survivor.: I stated playing this game about a month or two ago and there was a really fun sub game called Battlefield survivor and it hasn’t been back after i thought was a temporary hiatus. I have been Informed by other in game players that it was a one off and that game mode isn’t coming back?! That sure would be a a shame if it doesn’t come back because I won’t have anymore reason
36. [R10] Total War 1/5 · US Keeps crashing: Most the time it just stays on the opening screen and will not let you click anything.
37. [R48] Total War 5/5 · US New update: Do in next update (Multiplayer online)
38. [R56] 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
39. [R60] Total Battle 1/5 · US Not what you think: This is not a scrolling direct battle game. It is a world building clan battle game. A lot of of push a button and wait. A lot of weeks of nothing active from the player unless you spend money. Bait and switch
40. [R62] 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.
41. [R111] Age of Empires Mobile 4/5 · US Better then the original game: Game has been enhanced every way possible great graphics great gameplay.
42. [R112] Age of Empires Mobile 1/5 · US Not what I expected: Nothing like the original game on pc. It’s more like a role playing game. Where you don’t get anything accomplished. Very disappointing
