  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 grinding and senseless leveling. It levels up 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. [R8] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US The game is very cool, I've been playing it for 2 days, chronology 3rd Egyptian era ∞: Cool · translated
  5. [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
  6. [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
  7. [R6] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · US Cost: Why did I pay $7.49 for this app?
  8. [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
  9. [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 !
  10. [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
  11. [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.
  12. [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.
  13. [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.
  14. [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!
  15. [R56] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US Best game that needs no wifi: So good you play with warriors and you can upgrade production in meat and health also cool looking warriors
  16. [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.
  17. [R14] We Are Warriors! 5/5 · US No ads.: Super happy that they are no ads.
  18. [R33] We Are Warriors! 3/5 · GB Give This Game Up - QUICKLY: Ok so I really enjoyed it starting off, I bought the 2x Coin Multiplier… then I bought the 3x Multiplier… I’m now on TimeLine 180 or something and it’s just an ad-watching sim. Think I bought two or three battle passes and that boosted me through the game for a while… but for what…? There’s just an infinite amount of TimeLines out there, all the same stuff repeated. Qu
  19. [R37] We Are Warriors! 1/5 · US Good idea, bad execution: This is a money grabbing game. To progress you need to watch ads or make micro transactions in game.
