- [R4] GOLIATH Deleted review and deleted progress: I’ve spent a lot of time and money only to have my weapons and coins disappear. I had previously made a review about it, but that review is no longer up. Do not buy.
- [R8] GOLIATH Progress: Greetings, dear developers, I would like to ask how and who will restore game progress and purchases made in the game!
- [R9] GOLIATH Sadly Buggy: Used to be one of the best mobile games. Lost all my save info, and even after today’s update, I the Upgrade or Store buttons are still greyed out.
- [R12] GOLIATH Great Game BUT: Great game; but all of a sudden when I opened the game to play 50 Red Diamonds were just gone. They haven’t come back and it take a lot to earn them. It’s already expensive if you buy anything. Now you guys are repossessing items for no reason. Thanks but No Thanks!
- [R25] GOLIATH Bruh seriously?!: Why I can’t go to upgrades and crates?iphone 16 pro max
- [R30] GOLIATH Trials doesn’t work!: The game overall is good, but there’s a modes where you can’t progress or collect the rewards as it’s not working properly. I have successfully completed trial missions and haven’t got the rewards or been able to progress! Hopefully the devs fix soon.
- [R36] GOLIATH Great game - now unplayable: Really have enjoyed playing; however, the tabs for upgrading, survival, bonuses, everything, are either greyed out and inaccessible, or simply not there. I tried deleting and redownloading to no avail. Hoping a patch comes soon.
- [R7] GOLIATH Terrible Bug: The game is good but there’s a huge problem with the “fuel” system. I’ve used all my fuel points since yesterday and when I checked the next day, i still had 0 fuel. When I observed, the timer below the refuel constantly keeps resetting! I can’t play anything since I’m basically stuck at 0 fuel forever!! Please fix your game.
- [R14] GOLIATH Remove fuel mechanic: This game is a very good game I play it a lot when I can because I have no fuel most of the time so to make this game better please remove the fuel mechanic. Other than that it’s a good game
- [R16] GOLIATH Fuel: I love the concept of the game it is just completely ruined by the fact you have to wait 10 hours to get back your fuel which gives you live 20 minutes of play every 10 hours I think you should make it 20 minutes to get back all your lives but it just completely ruins the game
- [R48] GOLIATH Great game, bad system: The fuel system is so bad. I can barely play the game because of it. Great game though
- [R5] GOLIATH Amazing: Beautiful execution, challenging & engaging. Premium is a bit too pricey, but still a great game.
- [R6] GOLIATH Has potential: The game clearly wants you to spend the $10 to actually enjoy it. You either have to watch ads all day or pay for the premium unless you don’t mind progressing at the pace of a snail. Definitely fun and I understand that being a free game means it has to make money somehow but it affects the player experience for the ftp player for sure. I am not a robot
- [R10] GOLIATH Waist of space: Game is painfully slow and the constant requirement to watch adds is horrible!
- [R54] War Drone Don’t waste the time: Even if you pay for upgrades the game buffs the targets on the next level to match!
- [R56] War Drone Decent game: This is a fun game it’s just if your not ready to pay to win ur going to spend a lot of time grinding it out after level 10 the game gets awfully boring and kinda gets old quick replaying the same missions over and over just so u can level up enough to move onto the next level just to hit another plato and now u have to grind it out again wish the developers could let it rely on skill
- [R57] War Drone Long Ads: I barely right negative reviews, but this game finally made me do it. I genuinely love the game, but the ads are unbearable. Some of them are almost 10 minutes long, which completely ruins the experience. I know for many of the players it’s worth waiting due to next level excitement but it kill the buzz if a player has to wait 10 mins waiting period. I’ve lost interest and am going to
- [R58] War Drone Awesome Sauce!: This kept my attention for quite a while. Game play is smooth and the audio is dope too. It would be even better if the best final blows played in slow motion with a close up. Keep up the amazing work developers!
- [R65] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Pros and cons of: There is only 2 reasons I don’t like this game but the rest is great. 1, I wish there was a ad I could watch to revive and continue playing when I die. 2, the ai planes try crashing into you which is pretty irritating if you want to successfully achieve a high score.
- [R67] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Just make them shoot: The game would be better without the kamikaze planes or the helicopters that spawn directly in front of you.
- [R68] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Bad game: Your game sucks every time a plane appears it turns into Kamikazee. It will literally ran into you for no reason you could be a real life pilot and it’s still not loose cause these these AI suck fix your AI
- [R70] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Stop it with the helicopters!: Great game I really like it, but all the other planes try to kamikaze crash into you. And because the camera is so zoomed in and non adjustable (why?) you never see them coming it's especially bad with the helicopters which hover just off screen above you so if you pull up to do a tight loop it seems like it spawns in an inescapable sacrifice maneuver.
- [R13] GOLIATH Goliath App: The Fall and Demise: This app used to be amazing. I invested a lot of time and money into it because it was genuinely fun and worth supporting. Then an update completely broke the app and wiped out my progress. Everything was lost, forcing me to start over from zero. What’s even more frustrating is the lack of support. The developer barely responds, offers no real help, and continues
- [R18] GOLIATH Great game… until it bugs out: I was absolutely loving Goliath and was making some good progress, until I opened it and noticed i couldn’t use some of my weapons. Went back to the main menu and as has happened to others, the game has bugged and basically reset to begin again. I have no idea how if at all this can be fixed but I now don’t want to play it again and risk the same thing happening agai
- [R21] GOLIATH Good game but keep losing progress: This is a good game, however I have lost all my progress like 3 times randomly, if I play it more than a few times in one day, when I open it, it reset all my currency and prestige level it’s really annoying and make me want to delete the game. It take me forever to acquire the currency and it just resets.
- [R64] War Drone No Ad-free Option = Fail: This game is fun and has really good mechanics, but the ads are impossible to live with. If there was a purchase option to get rid of ads, I would keep this game. But constant, long ad interruptions & constant pay-to-play is garbage game design.
- [R77] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Tired of the suicide planes.: WW2 helicopters huh! Really can’t stand that the plane and helicopter are just suicide aircraft. 100% of the deaths are to them. They come from the sides so fast you can’t dodge.
- [R78] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber Why: Why are there helicopters in World War II?
