Community Insight:
Was not expecting this to be so good.
We love the game its the BEST GAME EVER just can have please add more units soon please we beat the game in one day so we wanted more units and some more levels thx.
We absolutely love this game but we have an iPhone 6 and whenever we do a huge battle in sandbox it exits sandbox pls fix.
This game is really good but there's one little problem that we think all of us know. THERE SHOULD BE MORE ROOM TO PUT PEOPLE. We have been playing this for years. And we wanted to do more scaled battles like scp breach and stuff. You should fix this, even tho it's not a glitch this should be done.
Addictive with an old school feel. Love this game.
Hours of fun as you figure out how yo manipulate your troops and your enemies based on simple game mechanics.
This game has an awesome, basic design. The replay value is also there with the numerous layouts you can think of.
Nice little game that requires some strategy.
Fun game but very repetitive so if you got 5-10 mins to kill it's worth the time.
Cool little retro game brings us back Timmy childhood.
This game is retro and simple very fun.
We have played to versions and we must say we love the even without updates they still are fun.
Reminds us of our favorite old school games.
A wonderful game, we absolutely enjoyed it. It combines everything the others were missing, and totally stands out. Good work.
Super fun and we enjoy the simulation. We want more like this.
Really cool game. Atari/Nintendo throwback style with great entertainment factor.
It is a really fun game for when you are on a long road trip. It may get boring after a wile but we always find ourselves coming back to it.
This is pretty good for long term entertainment and is very fun to play.
We love the classic design of it.
Great game for that fast fix of retro fun.
Just that…drawn into next and next and next. Fun and boredom beating. A lot for your money.
Its the best strategy game after clash of clans.
This is a very good little game and one of our favorites. The only flaw is small which is occasionally it will lag out but it's a really good game.
We have over one Thousand iOS games and this is one of our favorites.
Fun game. Basic but fun and gets more in depth as you go.
Action, puzzle-solving fun. Love it.
Really fun game!!!! Very entertaining and cool levels. We're glad they included local multiplayer for us and our brother.
There should be like an endless mode where you get new money every round and have to survive and gets harder and harder.
We love using the troops in sandbox mode that we can't get in multiplayer like the necromancer and giant skeletons. Could you please add them to multiplayer? Like the goblin and skeletons would be 25 gold, the necromancer 175 gold, or the mummy 500 gold.
Amazing love it so much but we would love a new campaign mission plz update it.
They just need to add a way to stop the sound and optimize the app to fit all screen sizes.
This game is great if your going to get it then do it only bad part it's almost impossible to get 3 stars maybe we're just bad.
However, we wish it was kinda like Art of war… Where you get miners to get gold, send units, etc.
When we got this, we wasn't expecting it to actually be that good (we got it free) but then we played it and we were surprised (in a good way). It's a great game and is worth getting.
Fun, gets harder and requires more strategy as you advance.
This is an excellent addition to the series!! New and inproved characters, and this game is awesome.
Would be nice to see a little more to the game play.. Like perhaps mid combat actions, being able to launch a fire ball for 50 gold or something… Though it runs well, and it's entertaining as is, well deserving of four stars.
We love this game, but we would really like a little more variety and be able to listen to music while playing.
This game has potential to be amazing, but it's been squandered by no updates. It's not optimized for the 5,6, etc. So the screen space isn't wide enough. The money to buy troops makes little sense, as you could save your money, but not see it added to the next battle for a bonus. Overall, as it sits, it's a time killer but gets old after a while. Interjection of a few RPG elements would have made it amazing.
Ok for a quick break, doesn't appear at first run as a long term game.
This is the best 8 bit war game ever saw besides terria.
It's a go to game when you have spare time.
It's just awsome but whenever we play online it crashes on all but 8bit war they should fix that.
We wish to make a free version for the people who can't afford to make the purchase. We know that sounds kind of dumb but still.
Pretty good game we love it , we like playing it when we're bored.
Pretty happy with this one. Would like a better drag and sell for single units.
It's a ok game but when we do multiplayer it goes off the game.
