- [R11] Total Battle Love this game: I like that this game has many different things going on at once. I love that they have challenges, and a lesson on how to be patient too! If I were u I would definitely try this game!
- [R20] Total Battle Awesome: I have enjoyed this game immensely over the past year or so. I always feel that I am learning something new weekly and the community is awesome.
- [R62] Mob Control Not like the ad: It’s not quite like the ad, but similar and really fun!
- [R79] Mob Control Not as advertised: As shows 1 game and the actual game is not the same
- [R6] Total Battle 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
- [R16] Total Battle Hate it: Of course, after just a few rounds, there’s no way to play without paying money. Overly complicated and so many unnecessary steps and storylines in between being able to play Rounds. Some people like that kind of thing, but I find it to be a drag.
- [R65] Mob Control Good game with one problem: The game is really good super fun easy game o learn with one problem I wasn’t able to regain my progress after deleted and redownloaded so I had to restart my progress so pls find my og account and pls restore it for me and way to many ads every match i finish I get ads! And I can’t play offline
- [R66] Mob Control ENOUGH ADS: Stop with the amount of ads!!!
- [R39] Total Battle Glitching like mad: The game has been glitching like CRAZY - so draining to play these day having to come in and out and then again. Today the game crashed maybe 30+ times, what’s going on? Everytime there’s a new event you have all of this slow down. So exhausting. When the game runs well, it can be fine. But honestly you have to pay a lot to get the good stuff and also to stay in the game. Would
- [R40] Total Battle Support: Game is fun but the support team is lacking. I’ve had multiple questions that I’ve submitted over the last few days and none of them have been answered. In addition, have spent hundreds of dollars on this game and have just been locked out with no explanation as to why. Due to the time sensitivity of events can’t help but feel like they just stole my money.
- [R117] Mob Control Fun game, but crashes hard: Good game, but it is buggy and crashes…to the point of reboot.
- [R120] Mob Control Falling Apart: Ever since last iOS update, more and more game features are failing to work correctly. Mission titles, mission tracking, card packs, coin accumulation all broken for me right now. Much more frustrating and not nearly as much fun.
- [R9] Total Battle The ultimate pay-to-play&win game: If you don’t mind paying tons of money, this game can be fun. I definitely think they hired some psychologists to figure out how to get people to spend money in a game. The first day they give you all the perks, after that you have to start paying for them and it is not cheap…at all. If you’re exceedingly patient and don’t mind waiting five days between actions
- [R46] Total Battle Expensive Game Play: The game is very fun and addictive. With that being said in order to grow in the game you need to spend a ton of money. I can not even tell you how much I have spent but it’s a lot. The Game will suck you in and then you will see how you get caught up spending a ton of cash. I would not recommend this game unless you have extra cash to spend. This is why I have given it 2 star
- [R69] Mob Control Annoyed: I miss when this game was just fun, now every single time you do anything they’re shoving offers down your throat . Just another money grab game and you barely even speak to anyone on it.
- [R72] Mob Control used to love this game: it is way too expensive to level up mobs, it’s basically impossible after like level 60 and makes the game not fun anymore. I wish they fixed this because I used to play this game all the time.
- [R113] Mob Control Good but needs lots of changes: Played this game for a very long time fenomenal game love it I play it a lot the ads have gotten absurd though it’s after every match and support team fails to get back to you for very simple technical in game issues there was a 7-day calendar reward to get the Railshot for free I’m still yet to see a response from the dev team. I made a similar ticket about 6 month
