  1. [R2] Fleet Battle 5/5 · US Battleships: It is very alike to the game of battleships
  2. [R23] Fleet Battle 5/5 · US Superb Update to Battleship: Fleet Battle is a superb upgrade to the timeless game of battleship. The addition of salvo matches was brilliant. If you like tactical games this is a must have.
  3. [R32] Fleet Battle 4/5 · US Great game, minus the AI: This game is so much fun and so thoughtfully crafted. I love the faster pace (if you hit your opponent, you get another shot). The honor system is really smart and incentivizes honest gameplay. It’s so cool that there are historical figures as PFPs and that you can learn more about them. Same goes for the historical ship blueprints you can unlock. All around, it’s a g
  4. [R66] 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
  5. [R3] Fleet Battle 3/5 · US Fun Game But Paralyzing Ads: The game is great, but every two battles or so you are forced to watch lengthy ads for other games that you can never click out of. This means you are constantly closing the app and opening it again to continue play. This is the lamest user experience ever!
  6. [R6] Fleet Battle 3/5 · US The game keeps crashing: The game keeps crashing every time I want to play it !
  7. [R30] Fleet Battle 3/5 · US Is such a good game!: But too many adds.
  8. [R67] 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
  9. [R31] Fleet Battle 2/5 · US Ridiculous: So I downloaded this game about a month ago, and I really was enjoying it for the most part. But then abruptly for whatever reason I would be on my phone I would have no issues with reception and then magically every time I would start a game I all of a sudden had no reception and it would abruptly kick me out of the game. Or I would be playing the game and then magically it would say
  10. [R36] Fleet Battle 3/5 · US Issues are still there: I just updated and I still get kicked out. App closes on me within seconds
  11. [R17] Fleet Battle 4/5 · US Hate the ads: Love the game but wish you could upgrade to no ads!
  12. [R70] 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.
  13. [R47] Fleet Battle 5/5 · US If u dont have this game yet ur missing out !!: I love this game! It is fun. It is addicting. I can’t stop playing and I have to say customer service is amazing! I had an issue I sent an email. I got a reply almost immediately with options, how to solve my issue, not only that but offered to fix it for me with my consent and for my troubles gave me blueprints and gold to. I absolutely appreciate.
  14. [R11] Fleet Battle 5/5 · US Awesome game: It’s so clear that the folks who make this game care about it. That’s rare! Great game.
  15. [R112] 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
  16. [R88] 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. [R1] Fleet Battle 1/5 · US Far too many cheaters: Developer won’t even allow potential hackers to be reported. There is no way some of these players are that lucky. I could care less of how the ships layout is. Was fun but just ridiculous now. If you don’t care about being hacked 25% of the time this game is for you.
  18. [R4] Fleet Battle 1/5 · US Do not waste your time: Game is full of bots. Especially SALVO mode, do not waste your time. The amount of ads alone pisses you off. You will not win, the game will force a tie on you. Giant money grab. Do not do it
  19. [R12] Fleet Battle 3/5 · US It is fun but too much cheating: I literally played 3 games and the third one had a cheater. That tells me that I’m not going 5 games without one, a one in three chance is bogus. They surrounded every ship I had with little to no effort but didn’t immediately click on them so they wouldn’t get caught. It has as many as when I downloaded this last in 2018. It’s still fun but it’d be even better, wo
