  1. [R1] We Are Warriors! 2/5 · US Fun but too boring later: Started playing this game two weeks ago and after you get past a certain point its just constant defeats for small amounts of coins which has you questioning what better things you could do
  2. [R4] We Are Warriors! 1/5 · US Pure grind: Senseless grind and senseless leveling. It upgrades food production by 0.2 m/s at a time. · translated
  3. [R5] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US Not at all dull!: Seriously, my first thought was that I was going to get bored fast. I’ve just started Timeline 3 and I’m really enjoying it. It’s not super exciting or complicated, but it’s just enough of a challenge to keep me coming back.
  4. [R9] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · US Good at first…: Another money grabbing game. It’s good at first, but then, as you progress it grinds to near complete halt until you either pay money or just get so bored by doing the same thing over and over and over and over just get .02 seconds added to your time so that you can spawn more soldiers. It’s so mind numbing boring at that point that you would have to just do the same thing over and
  5. [R3] 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
  6. [R10] We Are Warriors! 1/5 · US Let me go back!: I just want to devolve and go back to upgraded people before level 2 and play battle 2. Warnings need to be more clear!
  7. [R12] 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.
  8. [R21] 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 !
  9. [R36] 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
  10. [R39] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · GB Game is bugged: Good game but when I get purple cards it’s not counting towards my stacks so I can’t level them up.
  11. [R45] 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.
  12. [R2] 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
  13. [R6] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · US Cost: Why did I pay $7.49 for this app?
  14. [R7] We Are Warriors! 1/5 · US Asked me to rate the game.: Asked me to rate the game. 1-4 star does not take you to the App Store to review, intentionally inflating the review score.
  15. [R64] Hero Wars 1/5 · US Beware!!!: So, if I want to play this, I must allow you to sell my data to third parties ??? Someone lost their mind there? In what world this is normal? reply_ No! This is not what I asked. But since you decided to bring Law into this, show me law that allows you to force users to accept selling their data without giving them option to REJECT? Thank for admitting that you are braking the law!
  16. [R67] Hero Wars 1/5 · US Crash Crash Crash with no Support help: Do I need to say more? Crash.
  17. [R13] We Are Warriors! 1/5 · US Stupid adds: Let me listen to my music if you’re going to force me to watch a 2 minute ad of a boring game
  18. [R14] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US No ads.: Super happy that they are no ads.
  19. [R70] Hero Wars 1/5 · US Sucks: This game is nothing like the adds. Pay to with game. Overall very unsatisfying
  20. [R73] Hero Wars 1/5 · US Meh: This game used to be fun, but the fun has been sucked out of it with the addition of the stupid realm and a whole bunch of pay to play mechanics. The company also permits cheaters to continue to automate the dungeon (there is no way that someone on a server live less than a year is 100k, yet alone 440k levels deep in the dungeon) despite reports of cheating. I have nothing against paying fo
  21. [R76] Hero Wars 1/5 · US DON’T PLAY: This game is fun about two weeks. Then, it takes forever to level up your gear. Guess they have it set on screw you when you try to get parts to level your gear. Doesn’t matter if you spend or not. Don’t waste your time and money on this game. They try to keep you down so you do spend more. It’s definitely a fun game if they wasn’t so greedy
  22. [R79] Hero Wars 1/5 · US Awful: Constant bugs. Devs focus on constant monetization rather than fixing issues. Pure pay to win game, if you aren’t ready to shell out $10,000+ you won’t even scratch the surface of competition. Devs also monitor purchasing trends and nerf event rewards and deals to push players to purchase more. Best to stay away from this buggy, overpriced micro transaction game.
  23. [R48] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · GB Fun game; crashes too often: The game is great fun, I would have given it 5 starts but after around 5-10 minutes of playing the game like normal, it suddenly freezes and shuts itself down. I start it back up and the same thing happens 5-10 minutes later! Please fix, I was enjoying playing!!
  24. [R54] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · GB Fun game but come on: Great fun but I’m absolutely considering deleting this. Everytime I play at least twice my whole entire phone will crash and won’t even let me turn it off. Only on this game. I have a brand new iPhone 17 pro. It’s the game. I’m one more time away from this happening to just delete it
  25. [R60] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · GB Major crashing - Game is okay: The game is okay. Pretty entertaining for a little while, Takes a lot of grinding which is very quickly getting boring now when it’s extremely repetitive. Since this new update, this app causes a major crash which freezes my phone completely. It’s so bad, I can’t even force restart the phone. I just have to sit and wait until it finally unfreezes which is an unpredic
  26. [R72] Hero Wars 3/5 · US Gaming: Be careful about your info
  27. [R85] Hero Wars 1/5 · US No thank you.: I do not agree to allow you to give MY DATA to third parties. Uninstalling.
  28. [R91] Hero Wars 1/5 · US You have to agree to give up personal data: To even play the game, you have to agree to give up personal information that they will share with or sell to third party organizations. I think that’s frankly despicable that you force the player to agree to give consent to giving up a large amount of personal information and making it somewhat inconvenient to try and learn what that information even is
