We Are Warriors! is a free-to-play strategy game where players upgrade warriors and progress through different ages. While many users find the core gameplay fun and addictive, especially in the early stages, progression becomes extremely slow and difficult without watching numerous ads or making in-app purchases. The game also suffers from frequent crashes and reports of unfair matchmaking and cheating in events.

- New Race matchmaking - Bug fixes Thanks for playing!

Recurring themes

Grind & Progression negative
Many users report that the game starts fun but quickly becomes a tedious grind, requiring excessive time or money to progress. Upgrades are often minimal, and the difficulty spikes make it feel like a 'pay-to-win' or 'ad-watching sim'.R3R4R5R19
Ads & Monetization negative
While some users appreciate the option for ads, a significant number complain about the sheer volume of ads, their intrusive nature (e.g., freezing, misleading close buttons, not giving rewards), and the feeling that ads are almost mandatory for progression.R1R5R8R18
Technical Issues negative
Despite recent bug fix updates, many players report frequent game crashes, freezing, and loss of progress, sometimes even causing their entire phone to freeze. There are also reports of server connection issues.R75R181R265R295
Unfair Difficulty/Balancing negative
Reviewers frequently mention that the game is unfairly balanced, with enemy bases having significantly more health and units spawning faster than the player's, making early levels and later timelines extremely frustrating and difficult to win without paying.R5R35R43R48
Repetitive Content negative
After the initial fun, the game is described as repetitive, with the same actions and levels recurring endlessly, leading to boredom for many players.R3R15R34R37
Misleading Ads negative
Several users feel that the game's advertisements do not accurately represent the actual gameplay or available modes, leading to disappointment.R26R55R62R71

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy simple, casual strategy games and are willing to either invest significant time grinding or spend money on in-app purchases to progress R2R10R31. It might appeal to those looking for a game that can be played offline R63 and don't mind repetitive gameplay. It is NOT for players who dislike repetitive grinding, frequent ads, or games with significant pay-to-win elements R5R34R49. Players who expect accurate advertising or a balanced, challenge-based progression without constant monetization pressure should skip this game R26R71R82.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative (39.3% negative), contrasting with the high lifetime rating (4.46). This suggests a downward trajectory in user satisfaction, likely due to increased monetization pressure, lack of new content, and persistent technical issues that contradict developer claims of 'bug fixes'. The developer notes mention 'New Race matchmaking' and 'Bug fixes', but recent reviews still highlight issues with cheating in races R165R265 and frequent crashes R181R295R305R309.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Not at all dull!: Seriously, my first thought was that I was going to get bored fast. I’ve just started Timeline 3 and I’m really enjoying it. It’s not super exciting or complicated, but it’s just enough of a challenge to keep me coming back.
  2. [R6] 5/5 · US The game is very cool, I've been playing it for 2 days. Chronology: 3rd Egyptian era ∞: Cool · translated
  3. [R7] 5/5 · US This game just gets better as you go it’s pretty fun: Yeah that’s it
  4. [R10] 5/5 · US Best game: This is the best game I ever played. I’m not being exaggerating. This is actually the best game. I’ve been playing this for two days bro two days. It’s so fun if you don’t wanna buy the game, you don’t have to buy the game if you don’t want to have the game you don’t wanna have a game, but I will consider it. I’m not forcing you to so bye.
  5. [R1] 5/5 · US No ads + Looks Ai but still fun: It looks made from from ai but it’s really good, no ads either, I instantly looked for micro transactions to pay the 1-5 bucks for no ads but there is no ads, and barely any micro transactions
  6. [R8] 5/5 · US No ads.: Super happy that they are no ads.
  7. [R31] 4/5 · US Super fun! Ads almost required: This is a pretty good game, though a clone of many like it. It has no forced ads that I’ve encountered, but it allows you to double income with an ad. It also allows for extra currency in the battle, also for an ad. There are a few other options, but they are limited to two per day. The ads last for around 30 seconds each, but it’s pretty easy to either walk away or
  8. [R56] 5/5 · US Very Addicting: This game is so enjoyable and I love that ads are just optional so you don’t get pop ups unless you choose to watch an ad for a free item.
  9. [R63] 5/5 · US Yes play it: I found it on TikTok and it’s 100% no adds, literally a godsend, love it you can play offline too
  10. [R3] 2/5 · US Fun but too boring later: Started playing this game two weeks ago and after you get past a certain point its just constant defeats for small amounts of coins which has you questioning what better things you could do
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US Just grind: Useless grind and useless leveling. It increases food production by 0.2 m/s at a time. · translated
  12. [R5] 3/5 · US Seems fun: I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to for this one. I started playing the game today and the first level is literally so annoying. You basically keep getting whipped and you can’t win or upgrade anything in any fast way. It basically leads you to watch the videos to get extra meat or extra coins or you have to do it gruelingly slow. I deleted it after an hour cause I’m not watc
  13. [R19] 1/5 · US Worst game ever ?: If you don’t watch ads videos you’ll get stack on stage 1 probably for a week ? Don’t even download it please
  14. [R181] 3/5 · US Kinda Fun game: I love the game and have been playing for a while now. But there are a few blaring issues for me. One the events are just repetitive and start to get boring. The "races" (one of the two events) sucks, especially later on as you play. So this is a good game for a short period. Also during events, while in the middle of a wave the game will kick you out and back to the main game ma
  15. [R265] 3/5 · GB Frustrating: It’s pretty fun, but also very frustrating. People openly boast about ways they can cheat, so the races can be pointless. I spoke to one dev who told me I had to update; I told him I already had, and he just ignored me. You can watch an ad to get some extra food production; handy at the end of a level, until the ad ends and the game just cuts off. So now you’ve wasted time, and
  16. [R295] 3/5 · GB Desperately needs optimisation: This game is kind of fun every now and then but it is by now means graphically stunning it should NOT be crashing and freezing every 5 battles.
  17. [R305] 3/5 · GB Fun game; crashes too often: The game is great fun, I would have given it 5 starts but after around 5-10 minutes of playing the game like normal, it suddenly freezes and shuts itself down. I start it back up and the same thing happens 5-10 minutes later! Please fix, I was enjoying playing!!
  18. [R18] 1/5 · US Stupid adds: Let me listen to my music if you’re going to force me to watch a 2 minute ad of a boring game
  19. [R41] 1/5 · US Cant leave ads: The game specifically blocks the ui from returning to app even after watching/playing through full ads
  20. [R58] 1/5 · US Great game but stupid ad experience: I don't mind ads, I don't mind paying to get rid of ads. What I hate is being forced to do both and what I despise is ads that freeze up after you seen them and lose progress Game deleted! I like the game, I hope the developers address it by adding a tracking bar on how much is left for the ad and watch dogs to kill the ad if it goes beyond that time p
  21. [R80] 2/5 · US Concerning ad functionality: Misleading “x” close button on ads, some of them will open up your browser then the App Store, very concerning and misleading, an “x” button should not do that. I reported it to Apple. The game is fun though, I’m just annoyed and concerned about their ad functionality.
  22. [R35] 2/5 · US How come to the other base have 500 health and I got two: This game is so rage beating
  23. [R48] 4/5 · US Level 1: The game sucks starting out
  24. [R82] 1/5 · US Cute but flawed: Constantly have enemies side by side but this is something you can’t do. It takes 3 hits to kill me but 2 guys hitting you works…. How if it takes 3 hits? This game is so swayed to the enemy and they are the warriors, your just the meat. I bet I’m never strong enough, 500 base power to your 2? How is that fair? Sign a peace treaty or run, it’s the USA Vs ants and I’m the Ant. You
  25. [R15] 4/5 · US Review: Really Fun! And enjoying but gets pretty boring over time. Great game!
  26. [R34] 3/5 · US Good at first…: Another money grabbing game. It’s good at first, but then, as you progress it grinds to near complete halt until you either pay money or just get so bored by doing the same thing over and over and over and over just get .02 seconds added to your time so that you can spawn more soldiers. It’s so mind numbing boring at that point that you would have to just do the same thing over and
  27. [R37] 2/5 · US Game used to be good: They have not done any real updates for quite some time and myself like many other players have maxed out and we’re kind of stuck. The game is not nearly as much fun as it is at the beginning.
  28. [R21] 1/5 · US Waste of time: This game is so grindy and progress is SUPER slow. You start with nothing on each upgrade and you lose EVERYTHING every time you evolve. Horrible game! Complete waste of time.
  29. [R116] 1/5 · US Resets progress every era: Resets progress every time you upgrade eras?? Come on now, I’m out
  30. [R435] 3/5 · GB Gets boring quickly: As you keep evolving nothing gets saved up for the next level so it never feels like you’ve earned something and becomes a waste of time adding health to your base as it resets and so does your money/coins. Just ends up being an ad grinder with a nice looking wrapper.
  31. [R64] 1/5 · US Cheaters: There are cheaters in the game who take the first place in 2 seconds !! It's just not possible to score 100 points in 2 seconds
  32. [R165] 3/5 · US Ok: Games ok. After about a week of playing if you don’t buy packs to upgrade your cards you’ll be replaying the levels over and over. Cheaters ruin the limited time events. Always flying to the leaderboard with huge gaps.
  33. [R308] 3/5 · GB Good grind game but unfair testing: Have enjoyed this grinding game, however testing of new features or taking features away for some has become increasingly unfair Understand devs want to test stuff. But when they take features away like relic chests in the shop, for some people but not others for weeks and months then it feels really unfair when players are competing with each other and holds p
  34. [R26] 1/5 · US Literally nothing like it says it is: Completely a lie with those screenshots mobile trash
  35. [R55] 5/5 · US Rely good: What I saw from the ads was different but this game is still super fun
  36. [R62] 1/5 · US Nothing like the adds: Fix your game please
  37. [R71] 1/5 · US False advertisement: Most of the cooler looking game modes from the ads don’t actually exist, and the ones that do require 15 hrs+ of gameplay before you can unlock. Slow, repetitive, not skill based so not enjoyable.
  38. [R75] 3/5 · US Its a good game but I have some problems: It’s a very good game but I can’t connect to server I checked everything but I can’t 🤦🏼‍♂️ please help me !
  39. [R441] 3/5 · GB There’s a problem: The game is very nice however I can’t verify my account which is very annoying can you please fix this asap
  40. [R43] 1/5 · US Nightmare on the events is too hard: I understand it should be difficult, but it’s nearly impossible. The other units just incinerate you. Also, all the pictures on the App Store are not of the game….
  41. [R39] 1/5 · US Good idea, bad execution: This is a money grabbing game. To progress you need to watch ads or make micro transactions in game.
  42. [R49] 3/5 · US Pay to play: The game is fun and entertaining. However, at some point you reach certain levels that are almost to proceed without paying for upgrades or watch an insane amount of ads to ‘maybe’ beat a level. Almost to the point where I want to stop playing it altogether because I don’t want to pay for upgrades.
  43. [R309] 3/5 · GB Fun game but come on: Great fun but I’m absolutely considering deleting this. Everytime I play at least twice my whole entire phone will crash and won’t even let me turn it off. Only on this game. I have a brand new iPhone 17 pro. It’s the game. I’m one more time away from this happening to just delete it
