  1. [R2] Ancient Battle 5/5 · US This game was Super Fun , it changed from English to a Different Language: I was wondering What do I use as my Username and Password now that the game changed from English to another language ? All my Progress is on the one called this one , how do I log into it? > 兵多多
  2. [R3] Ancient Battle 3/5 · US Games good: But it will not let me use Facebook to save my account it also won’t let me change my guys name I keep going into the setting but after clicking done and leaving then when you reenter the settings menu it goes back to just what name you had before!?!!?? But I played this game allot on my android but now that I got Apple seems this version on the game is so very clogged with forced adds
  3. [R6] Ancient Battle 3/5 · US Love the game but: I love the game but it seems when I get up to the higher levels the game wants to restart me at the beginning does the game need an update? Is there something on my end that I can do so that it doesn’t do that? My game also won’t let me connect to my FB I have deleted it and redownloaded it and it just put me back at the beginning so idk I love the game it’s a great game I just
  4. [R11] Ancient Battle 4/5 · US Adds: I love this game. Fast paced matches are great upgrades are simple but effective. The problem is the adds. I don’t mind watching the adds, I know it’s a great income stream. My problem is for some reason a lot of the adds freeze up on my and I have to exit the game loosing all the bonuses I’d get from watching the add. I would give you money to stop the adds if that was an option. Pleas
  5. [R1] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US Not good: Every time I tried to make a purchase it didn't give me the gems but charged me money! 😡
  6. [R7] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US Too many ads, and game freezes: Used to be fun once upon a time. But now you’re forced to watch ads, and often times the ads freeze requiring you to close the game and reopen then you have to watch another ad which 50/50 freezes again. It’s like the devs set the game up and then abandoned it to whatever happens
  7. [R15] Ancient Battle 3/5 · US STOP WITH THE ADS: Like others have said this game is amazing but I have tow watch an ad at the BEGINNING AND END IF EACH BATTLE and it’s not watch ad to get some this, the ad just plays. I would have paid to get rid of the ads but there’s no option for it. Great game ruined by greed.
  8. [R17] Ancient Battle 5/5 · US FAv game: I use to play all the time And buy the pass and gems now im back playing WHERE ARE ALL MY PURCHASES ? Still a bery fun time killin game
  9. [R18] Ancient Battle 3/5 · US Great but: Great game idea. Wayyy too heavily over monetized. Every single thing you do has an ad play. Ad before battle. Ad after battle. Ad after ad. The ads dont even go away when you pay money! Its very fun i would pay for no ads
  10. [R52] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US Had to reinstall, lost all progress despite having saved it.: Had to reinstall the game and despite having it in the game center and everything where it used to be able to allow me to restore, this time it doesn’t allow me to restore and it wants me to purchase everything again including the times to forever on gold. I’m not paying another $10 for something that I’ve already paid for. Also, you ne
  11. [R81] We Are Warriors! 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 !
  12. [R96] We Are Warriors! 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
  13. [R4] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US So many ads: Haven’t installed this game in years and reinstalled it to find out there’s 10 minute ads in it now
  14. [R10] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US Ads, ads, ads: I've had the game for a few years now. I used to enjoy it but stopped playing for a while. Just tried to restart playing, and the number of ads they now use is absurd. Beyond the ads to claim items, they now play an ad before and after every battle. They've made it impossible to enjoy. Won't be back.
  15. [R13] Ancient Battle 2/5 · US Ads: This game was fun till they added all the ads. An advertisement after each button you press, practically.
  16. [R28] Ancient Battle 1/5 · US Way too many ads and no way to remove them.: This game has been a whole lot of fun for me. However, the ads are becoming a problem. There’s no way to remove them that I’ve been able to find and there is more time spent on ads viewed than is spent in the game itself. I think it’s about time to move on.
  17. [R62] We Are Warriors! 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
  18. [R63] We Are Warriors! 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
  19. [R72] We Are Warriors! 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.
  20. [R74] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US No ads.: Super happy that they are no ads.
  21. [R23] Ancient Battle 4/5 · US Great game, too many adds: Love this game. Awesome real time strategy and fun combat with a growing army and abilities. But every time I click to upgrade a unit or either before or after a round of combat, it’s an add… really should consider reducing the frequency as it gets tiring fast. Also after a couple battles my phone gets very hot, and it’s a new phone… Had to uninstall.
  22. [R46] Ancient Battle 2/5 · US Could’ve Been Great: At first I had a lot of fun with this game and actually found the concept really fun. But 3 major flaws quickly became apparent. 1. This game is not optimized at all. It lags and glitches and makes my phone hot to the touch. I use a iPhone XS and every other game is fine, so it’s not my phone. 2. Energy based games are ridiculous because you can barely play and this game is
  23. [R105] We Are Warriors! 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.
