- [R2] Fleet Battle Battleships: It is very alike to the game of battleships
- [R8] Fleet Battle Great game. Would recommend removing the dishonorable rank stuff: - the rank stuff is fairly discouraging especially when glitches happen. I get you don’t always know the difference between a glitch and a “rage quit”, so even it out and don’t fault us for when it’s not even necessarily happening. Food for thought. And honestly it’s the “dishonorable” name for me, everyone was like oof they could h
- [R9] Fleet Battle Challenges!?: Sent challenges to a friend and neither of us can see them or accept them….is there something we are missing?
- [R18] Fleet Battle Cheating with AI?: This game is really fun when you actually get to play against a living person. However, I’m convinced that when you aren’t matched with another player, you are matched with AI. There’s no reason someone with an undetermined honor has 67 wins and 4 losses and knows exactly where my ships are. This happens more often than I’d like and if no other players are available, I’d rather
- [R1] Fleet Battle 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.
- [R7] Fleet Battle Add a report button: Cheaters on your app there’s no way someone could just guess every ship
- [R12] Fleet Battle 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
- [R13] Fleet Battle Cheaters everywhere: This game has been completely taken over by cheaters and is impossible to play
- [R6] Fleet Battle The game keeps crashing: The game keeps crashing every time I want to play it !
- [R10] Fleet Battle The download isn't happening at all! It's stuck on loading and that's it. It's been two days and nothing has moved. Downloading required assets: downloaded 0.00 MB / 101.04 MB · translated
- [R19] Fleet Battle It keeps crashing and won't open: It's very, very beautiful, but it keeps crashing and won't open. · translated
- [R28] Fleet Battle Involuntary Surrender: Good game but they consider it giving up when your opponents lose their connections. I refuse to be penalized for something that isn’t my fault. Pass/fail? That’s a fail.
- [R3] Fleet Battle 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!
- [R4] Fleet Battle 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
- [R15] Fleet Battle Potential: Has potential but lots of loading issues when inviting friends to challenge. Too many long commercials, would rather just pay for the ap.
- [R17] Fleet Battle Hate the ads: Love the game but wish you could upgrade to no ads!
- [R20] Fleet Battle Fun game when bored: I love this game because whenever I’m bored I can play this and I can meet other people and play. It’s not hard. It’s not easy. It’s just for everyone likes it. Thank you. Keep up the work.
- [R24] Fleet Battle Could be a 5 star but ads get stuck: Ads more than 30 seconds.. all the monopoly ads got stuck on the app and I have to restart or simply I didn’t open again, need more explanation for the championship.. - one star Need more info about the prizes/championship. The app need better interface, looks really old. - one star Could be a 5 stars game.. but.. well.. 3 stars
- [R26] Fleet Battle Amazing: I love this game so much. It super fun to play. I also love how you can play with you family and friends too. If you don’t have this game you are missing out.
- [R47] Fleet Battle 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.
- [R67] Modern Warships Poor performance and P2W: The game is cool in some aspects and the models are good but the game is nearly unplayable when im fighting higher level ships. I routinely had my games crash mid match. The game is also extremely P2W and almost all the good stuff has to be paid for. While you can play F2P you will not be able to get things from the artcon store. Also after not playing for a couple months
- [R70] Modern Warships The main battle pass: Locking majority of the items in the battle pass when they used to free is ridiculous this new battle pass system is a rip off and a cash grab. This just makes it even more difficult for people to enjoy the game and stay competitive without spending money when every other event pretty much already requires you to spend money already the bp used to be a kind of equalizer and t
- [R73] Modern Warships Favors people that spend money!: I love the first 2 ranks in this game! The problem on it is that they’re only 12-15 ships that you can buy with money that you earn from IN GAME!! The game offers many ships to play, but you can only play 9 of them that are NOT aircraft carriers or subs. It’s ridiculous that you can only play around 9 ships when you hit rank 3. I wouldn’t mind if they cost a lot mo
- [R76] Modern Warships If you spend money then you are powerful: I don’t want to buy powerful missiles with real money. If you’re only powerful because you spend money, that’s a stupid concept.
