- [R3] Star Wars™ Great game but late game teams are just super unfun!: Emperor Palpatine just gets to do 1,000,000 turns in a row and refresh his whole teams ability’s that do AOE rebuffs the whole time and the worst part is they do NO damage so it’s deaths by 1,000 papercuts so if you actually wanna get into this game just get ready to play one round for 9 mins on conquest just waiting for ONE turn, terrible bala
- [R15] Star Wars™ GAME FOR STAR WARS FANS WHO ARN'T AFRAID TO SPEND $$$: This game is one of my most played games on mobile hands down because I am such a big fan of Star Wars, but it is sad that this game is suuuuuuper grindy and makes you constantly want to spend money just to skip and the prices are honestly not fair or decent at all, they dont give deals when buying bulk such as buying 4 crystals can cost 320 a
- [R20] Star Wars™ Best game ever: I love the characters and I love how you can upgrade them. The only thing is I wish there were more people that you could choose and like more ways, you could get maxed out players without needing to train them, and I wish that there were more clones like the croissant God fox Jessie Wolf, and more clones of different colors but other than that, I just wish that you could choose mo
- [R26] Star Wars™ Amazing game, truly.: This game is AMAZING! The turn-based strategy battles and unlockable characters are great, guild events and guilds in general are fun, and the art style and modeling is smooth and doesn’t lag behind in performance. All in all, it’s a really fun game. One suggestion I have is to add a “multi-open” button for Bronzium Data Cards, as it can take a very long time to open them al
- [R7] Star Wars™ Game won’t open all of a sudden: I redownloaded after a few years, game has been working fine now today I’m trying to play and it is sitting on the “loading cantina” screen and noth8ng happens. Will rate five if the game would work
- [R12] Star Wars™ Great until…: Worked for two days on my iPad and then froze. Deleted it then redownloaded and it still was frozen. This was after I spent $$$. Disney blows! Don’t waste your time or money.
- [R16] Star Wars™ Freezes your internet: If you have this app on ur device it slows it sown and makes apps that use internet not work
- [R19] Star Wars™ broken: Game doesnt load.
- [R6] Star Wars™ Bug report: During the galactic conquest there was a glitch where they just gained damage immunity assuming it was a one time glitch but it happened again and again and again and while I’m here when doing dark side campaign I don’t get any dark side tokens for galatic legends same thing for light side campaign
- [R1] Star Wars™ Scam and hoax: This “game” hits a new level of free2win low. Not only it is a clear scam and hoax, with “random” numbers shamelessly being not random at all, but it is highly overpriced as such. Do not give them money under any circumstances. Lot’s of cheating and pay2win. Extremely low quality with lots of bugs. Sadly, all ‘covered’ by Apple with lots of fake reviews clearly written by people who
- [R4] Star Wars™ Developer nerfs rewards after spending money: Capital Games is the developer. They have once again nerfed and gone backward on rewards for customers that spent money. They’ve built a system over the past 9 months that promised one thing, and have now rolled that back, bait and switch, moved the goal posts. Do not spend any time or money on this game. You have no ability to predict how the develope
- [R8] Star Wars™ Pay to win: All goods are behind a paywall
- [R13] Star Wars™ Horrible: There's no balance in Grand Arena. The monetization is crazy, considering the rewards are subpar! EA in their usual style: greedy for money! Fix the balance in Grand Arena already! Players always have 3-4 million more GP! What's the point of this arena if you can't win with such balance? · translated
- [R34] Star Wars™ Broken game: I’d write a work order for support but as we All know, you don’t bother with these anymore. So how about you just fix the game then? How about it actually works for a change? You keep adding new things that don’t work!? Woopie! This is something better? The new coliseum’s scoring is all screwed up! But you know this , you don’t care. Fix something! Anything! You greedy jerks ! Im not
- [R40] Star Wars™ Unfair profit driven practices disguised as healthy: CG is a bad company who disguises game health as necessary for profit reasons such as relic delta poor matchmaking practices and datacrons
- [R43] Star Wars™ POS Developers: Been playing this game for many years. It’s only getting more greedy, frustrating and unbalanced. The developers don’t care or value their players - only money. Don’t support these awful humans and save yourself tons of money and frustration! Stay away!
- [R64] Galaxy Attack Cool Game But: Game creator does respond to issues. Game has not been working well. Lots of ads to get assets in game. Most times, the ads do not work, which stifles playing and makes it frustrating.
- [R75] Galaxy Attack Crashing during Ads: The game is fun but hard to progress without paying. My main problem is how many rewards/progress I’ve lost due to the game crashing during ads
- [R78] Galaxy Attack Ads locking up my iPad: Great game. Love the challenges and rewards. Big problem, ads. I don’t mind em but many of the recent ads freeze or lock up on my iPad. I have to shut it down and reboot to clear the ad. Annoying & frustrating. All the same great game
- [R79] Galaxy Attack Don’t bother: The game sucks you in and then u see u HAVE TO SPEND MONEY to advance !!!! Also the ads are getting longer and longer. Long story short, they just want your money….
- [R22] Star Wars™ Game will not load: Game will not load. Stuck in “loading Cantina”. Zero stars! Do not recommend!
