  1. [R2] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB excellent game: excellent game
  2. [R11] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB Addictive: This game is so addictive.
  3. [R13] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Nothing like the advertisements 💗: I downloaded it because it said no ads, real app etc and turns out its nothing like the ads, disappointed me so much. Not to mention half of the reviews are bots.
  4. [R14] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB Challenge game: It is a challengeing game
  5. [R3] Last War:Survival 3/5 · GB The Truth: Good game very enjoyable to a point. You have to balance achievement with time, addiction and money. I’m quite patient, so spent £1.99 on an extra building queue. I built up a good base, squad and inventory - progress is definitely being made. However it seems at every turn they want more money - £1.99 is all you’re getting. I wanted to show growing a great base and army could be done w
  6. [R4] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Fake Progress, Real Paywalls: Starts off fun, then quickly turns into a classic mobile trap. Early progress is fast and satisfying, then suddenly everything slows to a crawl unless you spend money. What looked like a game turns into a storefront with zombies in the background. Constant pressure to buy, wait, or grind. Less strategy, more psychological pickpocketing. Deleted.
  7. [R9] Last War:Survival 3/5 · GB No ads: That’s what I like most about this game, and the game itself is fun - shooting those zombies. I had to delete it though because I got stuck in the hub world. I had only played 4 fun levels and I couldn’t find any way to proceed.
  8. [R10] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Wait wait wait: Another game that start with good intentions to then get you stuck into a spiral of waiting forever waiting! Dont waste your days like this, the more you get ahead the more miserable you will feel as you will end up looking to wait for a week just to get something done… spend ur time more logically, or download games where you can actually play rather than clicking all that there i
  9. [R8] Last War:Survival 4/5 · GB Frontline Breakthrough: Apart from the game being very pay to win, the only main problem I have is with frontline breakthrough. It is basically impossible to complete levels once you get to around level 40, I click on the YouTube tutorials and they are super outdated and not accurate to the actual gameplay at all, with the troops in the videos dealing way more damage than in game and the zombies m
  10. [R19] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Complete scam: Complete scam game is nothing like advertising pay to play prices are a rip off. Build times are disgustingly long and make no sense designed to make you addicted and waste money. Do not buy anything from them it’s designed to rip you off with very minimal rewards then they scam it back from you a disgusting game with toxic racist chat and nothing done. Game employees are whales des
  11. [R1] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Antisemitism: Allows pictures of hitler and antisemitic posts in game chat
  12. [R23] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Don’t get sucked in…: Update on Review: I appreciate that the developers has responded to my review. However, they have not addressed my key concerns about the game. Per the below: “I would really appreciate if the developers could respond to my comment and explain how the entire design and concept of the game is not all about maximising the profitability of the game?”. Developers: Can you please
  13. [R15] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Rubbish game: Don’t fall for it. Nothing like the adverts.
  14. [R17] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Different that ads: just the beginning of game is, how it is showed in ads then playing after 5 minutes its different. Don't bother downloading it...
  15. [R21] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Nothing like the adds, fake game: Simply as the title states. Nothing like the adverts.
  16. [R52] Count Masters 4/5 · GB Well it’s good but: It’s exactly how the game is on the ad however there is ads at every level you pass which is annoying but the game is good
  17. [R57] Count Masters 1/5 · GB Gave up: Gave up after a few levels as there is an ad after every level so there is no enjoyment in the game as you end up watching ads more than playing so deleted.
  18. [R60] Count Masters 1/5 · GB Too many Ads: Honestly this game is ok but the ads are so frequent it’s impossible to get into the game. Then to make matters worse you cannot skip the ad until you’ve clicked it 10X and the ad is ALWAYS THE SAME. It’s brain dissolving nonsense
  19. [R63] Count Masters 1/5 · GB Count Masters… count ads: This has more ads than game play…. It’s tediously boring..
  20. [R55] Count Masters 5/5 · GB I love this game: I played this game in class because i was bored and its very fun, i turned my wifi off and then theres no ads. Good graphics,5 stars
  21. [R72] Count Masters 1/5 · GB Not worth trying it: Way too many adds, the game is interrupted every 30 seconds for adds (as mentioned in all the comments on the page). The only purpose is to make you join other games or sites. It took a few months to the developper to respond and the solution proposed is the “No Ads” feature which I should pay for. Definitely not a good deal.
