Recurring themes

Crashes & Bugs negative
Many users report frequent game crashes at various points: during startup, loading, attempting in-app purchases, or even mid-mission. This issue is widespread and significantly impacts gameplay.R1R5R15R16
In-App Purchases (IAP) & Money negative
A major pain point is the failure of in-app purchases; users report paying for items (gold, ships) but not receiving them, or the game crashing when trying to buy. There are also complaints about the game being 'pay-to-win' or too expensive, with unfair spin mechanics that give duplicate low-value rewards.R1R5R15R17
Connectivity Issues negative
Many players experience 'bad network connection' errors, even with strong Wi-Fi, preventing them from accessing daily rewards, online matches, time attacks, or even progressing in the game. This contradicts the game's offline potential for some modes.R4R11R14R16
Data Access & Privacy negative
Users are highly concerned about the app requesting 'device access' or access to 'everything on my device'. Some report the app requiring access without an option to deny, raising suspicions of data abuse.R13R19R25R27
Lack of Maintenance & Updates negative
Despite the developer's release notes mentioning a system update, many recent reviews lament the lack of ongoing maintenance, new content, or fixes for long-standing issues. This suggests the developer's notes are either minor or not addressing core user complaints.R3R9R10R31
Progress Loss negative
Several players report losing all their game progress, including purchased items and years of gameplay, after crashes, updates, or reinstalling the game. The inability to restore purchases or backups is a significant frustration.R81R89R90R105

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy arcade-style warship combat and appreciate a diverse selection of ships, especially those who have played it since childhood and value its nostalgic appeal R18R28. It might appeal to those looking for a casual time-waster . However, players who expect regular updates, reliable in-app purchases, stable performance, or strong data privacy should skip this game R1R5R13R19.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and lack of maintenance, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. The developer's update notes are minimal and do not address the major issues reported by users, such as crashes and IAP failures, suggesting a disconnect between developer claims and user experience.

  13. [R72] 3/5 · US Broken: It stopped opening every time I try to open it once it’s done loading it stops working and kicks me out please fix this
  14. [R26] 3/5 · US Good game but many issues: FIRST OF ALL whenever i pay for a certain ship instead of giving the ship i paid for i GET ANOTHER SHIP THAT I DIDNT WANT.
  15. [R4] 3/5 · US too many problem: The game's advertisement section for receiving daily rewards and the online matches section are encountering a connection error. Please check the error. Also, the number of cheaters in the online section has increased dramatically.
  16. [R11] 3/5 · US A bit lacking: Ads won't load, so I can't check in or draw the initial ten ships. · translated
  17. [R14] 4/5 · US Would be better but...: I love the game it is really fun but I keep running into issues where the game will tell me bad network connection even though I have a PERFECT Wi-Fi signal! Does anyone else have this problem or ha experience it before? If so please tell me how I can fix it.
  18. [R16] 1/5 · US Buggy: Says I’m not connected to internet, cant progress because of this
  19. [R13] 1/5 · US Device access?!: Why does this app ask for device access, I was looking forward to trying this game but when it asks for device access i immediately deleted it because I’m not giving someone access to my phone.
  20. [R19] 1/5 · US You don’t need my pictures: Why would you need access to everything on my device just to play a game… this behavior reeks of information abuse and scams. I don’t need a developer selling off my data, no matter what sort of “oh we promise we won’t do that” excuse they’d give.
  21. [R25] 5/5 · US Why: Why does this game need full access to my phone and why are two of the accept boxes blank and they both send you to a Chinese or Japanese website so you can’t read what all they want access too very sketchy
  22. [R27] 1/5 · US Shame on Warship: I have played this game for eight years and spent money on your platform. Now you have an update. 3.3.8 that requires access to my device for no reason, and doesn’t give me an option to deny it. Shame on you and every platform that takes personal data and turns it for a profit.
  23. [R3] 5/5 · US Mantenimiento: Me gusta bastante este juego lástima que ya no hay mantenimiento
  24. [R9] 5/5 · US We need update!: Update please!
  25. [R10] 5/5 · US Upgrades and updates needed: Some of the options are not function correctly. Need to have new ships and improvements. The Ware Fare and Time Attack are not running correctly.
  26. [R31] 5/5 · US Please: Please fix gunship battle for the love of god
  27. [R81] 1/5 · US Crashing… Reload Means Loss of $$ / Progress: Game has been a little glitchy but now just crashes when I try to start. And… if I reload it will reset and lose all progress. I’m going to wait for an update to see if it corrects… but not optimistic. By looking at the reviews it seems to be a very common problem. It’s a shame because not a bad game but the developer does not seem to be concer
  28. [R89] 3/5 · US 3 years in lost all progress: I have been playing this game for 3 years at least. I have purchased ships and spent real money on a game I never thought I would. Despite spending money, you reach a certain wall, where even your most powerful ship is useless unless it’s for wasting ammo and draining the credits. I stopped playing at that point and recently started again. Seems as none of the progres
  29. [R90] 1/5 · US Not able to restore purchases: I was the playing for about weeks now and I spent $25 into the game just to lose it all when restalling the game and I now feel how greedy the developer is because they will delete your progress and have to restart it from the begging.
  30. [R105] 1/5 · US Please read: OK so first I download it because I wanted a ship game so I downloaded it at first it was really fun I got good upgrades but then it kept resetting every time it wouldn’t let me go to the next level just start me back on the same one I did I would not save my ship stuff
  31. [R17] 1/5 · US This game is good but: This game is amazing but I wish that on the gold spins if you landed on a ship you already have it would give you more than $400,000 when you spent 999 gold the value is not equal
  32. [R67] 1/5 · US Waste of time don’t bother: This game is cool but it wants you to spend money and when you do they game becomes more fun but the moment that you stop and become in active they flag you as a cheater and ban your account and this has been a on going problem with this developer through out all there games check the forms everyone knows this game is a scam
  33. [R69] 2/5 · US Attend a event: The attend a event is a lie in this game when i downloaded this game it sayed i have 22 hours to get a good aircraft carrery plus 300 free gold now its 200 gold lies i dont spend money on games and unfortinataly you have to spend money on this game to win😡
  34. [R73] 3/5 · US The spin scammed me: I rolled the spin i dont know how many time but it kept giving money for warships I already have and it did this 4 or 5 time I think and then it gave me a ship much weaker than the one I’m using now and it took me forever to get 999 gold to do a spin I’m crying I did so many spins just to get this one ship Yamato universe and the spin basically said a big no 😢
  35. [R45] 2/5 · US No me deja avanzar chapter 9 misión 43: …
  36. [R59] 5/5 · US Issue with episode 29 mission one: There is an issue with episode 29 mission one where the mig 25 your supposed to be protecting won’t move until it’s too late. I have tried completely clearing the map of enemies, I have tried staying with it, I have even tried waiting on the point for it but it won’t move until it’s too late or it won’t move at all. Please fix this. It is literally impossible to
  37. [R100] 3/5 · US AHMAZING until...: So I ❤️ WW2. And this was my favorite game until E4#2. YOU HAVE NO BACKUP, AND YOU HAVE TO FEND OFF AN AIR FORCE, 3 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS,+THE OTHER BOATS!!!! Like how are you supposed to handle that!? Just give me like an Air Force, and I’ll handle. But if see this, don’t ignore the prob.
  38. [R108] 3/5 · US Impossible: It is hard to play chapter 11-Ep-11-3.I can’t play still right now.
  39. [R23] 3/5 · US ads: my only problem is having to watch a stupid advertisement before doing a time attack, even airplane mode denies me entry to the time attack since there is a poor network connection. Its not multiplayer so why do i need a internet connection to play this mode. Never used to be like this a few years ago👎
  40. [R50] 1/5 · US Too many ads: Like one minute when I just joined I got a add the second minute I got add like every minute I get a add
  41. [R136] 1/5 · US Bad game, too many ads, and to hard.: This game is the worst so many controls, and I just hate it it”s hard so many ads - If u can fix this good I will try it out when u do it so ya just the worst for now until they can fix it and make sure it’s not hard okay is just malarkey.
  42. [R299] 3/5 · GB Michael: Latest update has killed the game, constant pop ups which lead to the App Store ruins the games experience.
  43. [R78] 1/5 · US Crashing before open after updates: Ever since it’s last update I can’t open the game anymore which is frustrating because I paid for a 30 day VIP and I’m losing it now after 12 days of unable to use this app. Multiple emails to the app developer have gone unanswered and there are numerous complaints about this issue that they are not addressing. Game has always been glitchy but it seems like now
  44. [R123] 3/5 · US Issue: I bought a submarine, and gold and they don’t pop up. I love this game but i am getting ripoff please help.
  45. [R41] 1/5 · US User account problem: I report an issue several times, but Nothing is fixed.
