Community Insight:
Our favorite childhood App Store game for an UPDATE!? YES.
We first bought this game on our iPod when we were 10 years old. Now an update after all this time! Love you guys. Merry Christmas.
With the updated graphics the game will lag pretty extensively when you bunker stacking. We think it only takes like 20 riflemen before the game quite literally starts dying. We were playing before the update and had zero issues before. We mean we could stack any amount we wanted too with zero frame drops. Maybe add in the old graphics in the settings just so players dont really gotta deal with the frame drops.
Absolute banger of a game, Ive played this game for years. Made some core childhood memories with our siblings playing this.
Just want to be nice and give it a 5/5,but this is a great game and you should definitely check it out.
The game is polished and quite good. The option to buy perk points is there, but it honestly doesnt take much at all to get more. You just need to win missions. Anyone complaining about difficulty is either playing on super hard, an old build, or just bad. Sniper, medic, and rifleman are the best.
Love the game but Im missing the mission descriptions in all of the campaigns. The mission names and dates are there but not the descriptions. We would leave 5 stars if not for this.
The game is severely unbalanced in the way the enemy will spam you literally spam you with aerial attacks and spies. Its almost not even fun to play.
Thank you guys for updating this gem. Stenches is one of the best mobile games ever, revamp it.
This game would be so much better if you didnt have to deal with artillery and tanks every 15 seconds or if the bunkers offered protection from artillery. Why does a strafing run obliterate all of our troops that are inside the concrete bunker.
This game is so wunderbar, and it is a good time killer and fun also its good game when sitting on the toilet, the people that are complaining, git good and all we hear is a skill issue, the game is fun and enjoyable our advice make sure to use tanks they help alot.
Too many people crying about things. This is a classic game thats been around for a long time. A lot of our original games have been taken down and this one managed to stay alive. This game is challenging but its worth it. Once you figure out everything it is fun. Thank you developers for keeping this game around and not being cop outs like other game developers.
As stated in the title. Update 10/20: After about a year or so, it looks like theyve finally made some patches. It is definitely compatible with the new iOS now. Still has some minor issues like changing your view left to right on the screen, but overall is playable now.
We had a level going for 2 hours and we lost because they wouldnt stop blowing away our guys with the freaking air strike. This used to be our favorite game but now its wack.
We didnt want to write this review. We adore this game, its fun and we have good memories. It is unplayable past the 2nd mission of the campaign. We are unable to move with the constant flood of tanks, and artillery strikes. So far we have experienced 4 tanks every 5 minutes (we timed it) and an artillery every 40-ish seconds, varying between mustard gas, napalm, or shells. All of which our bunkers offer no protection against, our medics cant outheal. Not to mention the constant flood of ground troops, flamethrowers with better range and health, infantry that moves far faster, and a constant influx of spies that never hit land mines. We love this game, we want to keep playing it, but we get no enjoyment from continuously sending troops into a meat grinder and making no progress.
Hope you guys make a new one and even better . Thanks.
It needs to bring back the local multiplayer please.
One of the Russian base as we are playing as German has a glitch in it because their bot is acting odd and spamming lots of rifle-mans but also spam an tank at the beginning for some reason we dont know why and its a bit odd because the rest doesnt please fix the glitch.
This game is awesome. Its fun, requires strategy, and doesn't get boring. Well worth 1$.
Really fun game. We get bored with app games easily and this one has captured our attention for a good length of time. Our only feedback for the developers is to please more the perk points button from the top right. We accidentally hit it all the time and spend our points when we dont mean to. Im trying to scroll the map and hit it by accident. If moving it isnt possible, add a pop up of are you sure you want to use your points? Minor design gripe from someone with fat fingers.
Our only question for the developer is we see trenches II AND Trenches 2 what is the difference in the two games.
First off let us say we love this game. But yesterday we were playing this game on our road trip when an idea struck us. You guys should add The Austria-Hungry, Italian, and Ottoman armies into this game. And then add surgeons these troops can revive recent dead on our side. Also rocket men or ammo boys to replenish ammo to troops after they use up there ammo for a little realism. And some units should have the ability to throw grenades like frag, incinary, gas,and other. And mechanics to repair tanks. While we are on the topic of tanks would you please add different types of tanks like one is great against the infantry units, one that is good against other tanks. We think tanks should be able to hold some troops like some sort of APC.And field commanders should get some sort of buff to make them more useful other than cannon fodder. So give them abilities like make troops rage and shoot faster and take more damage, or charge to rush enigmas in cover, or call in an artillery strike,or make them stealthy, and anything else you can think of. Sorry about the size please add at least some of this stuff.
What if there was a militia with no artillery but has stronger and slower tanks and higher damaging infantry.
Its been a fun game for years but when you play the campaign you are constantly bombarded by enemy artillery the whole time which ruins the game.
This game is super fun! Way worth a dollar.
Not exactly historically accurate to World War One we would have loved to play as the Austrians or the Bulgarians more of the central powers not just Germany.
We will start off by saying that we do love this game. We loved the first one just as much, but zombies was a very fun mode to play. Please add it back, or something similar at least. Then Id be more than happy to give it 5 stars. Keep up the good work.
Its a great game.But why even bother to label Rumania even though its not important at all?But still a major step up from the original game and a fun game. Also if you can add Rumania or Italy.
The button should be removed or moved somewhere else, for simply trying to view the battlefield spends a point. Game is good though.
We enjoy this game its a fun ww1 type game. We highly recommend playing it. A problem with this game is you dont have all the ww1 countries and maps, for instance they could add in the Italians, the ottoman,Austrians,and The Australians. Some maps that could add in could be the Italian alps or Gallipoli. Thank you for reading this and we hope that they could possibly add these in.
This game is very fun and we have a lot of memories playing both the first and this one. We fell as though it should get another sequel, and since the game doesn't seem to want to fix the bugs in this one it should be done with a sequel. How ever the WW1 theme seems to have been played out entirely with this game nothing new you can really add, how ever if you were to some how incorporate the game mechanics into a WW2 game we think it would be at the least mildly successful considering not too many people played this those who did were mostly turned off from it by the broken AI and considering it's an App Store game you have to pay for. The WW2 game could also have its own sequel be it dividing the years of the war or a western front eastern front or Pacific front. Like we said it's a great game and should get a sequel but it has some bugs and the AI seems to have infinite money not cool downs for spawns and ridiculous spawning locations do recommend but be warned.
The game is so much fun the only problem we face is that in the campaign every time we send out troops the enemy constantly strafes them down and it seems like they never run low on coins. Please fix.
We've liked this game since we got it, we finally got a good 1V1 game with good graphic and decent game mechanics. The only problem is that the multiplayer take forever if never, wish they made a new one(Trenches 3) with even better graphics and better mechanics. We would recommend you to get this if you can.
We can almost never get into the game due to the menu loading in above the screen and not being able to press the play button.
We used to play this game with our brother all the time, however coming back to it we noticed that the AI just spams artillery and makes it almost impossible to play unless we grind it with the most boring tactics.
Our men met tank in 1915 summer……nothing cant stop tank in our second battle. We dont even earn the enough perks to upgrade our men. U know how guilty we are to send our men to face those armored shiiit with rifles? We guess it is a way to push us to buy the perks in dollars. Even though the game itself is good, but yall need to considerate to adjust the setting.
This game is ok we just dont enjoy how the enemy in campaign has infinite money. And all levels are easy to beat when you have four spies at the enemy base they can even leave their base without dieing update this game and it will be great it will be worth the time and effort to upgrade the game to fix negative reviews and you will have higher profits.
Cant even beat the 1st level on medium. Why does the AI get more money than we do? Also when we have a bunch of troops in a bunk, its too hard to select the engineer out of the swarm of riflemen.
This is a great game with good game mechanics. Although for some reason in campaign on the easiest difficulty the opponent seems to have infinite airstrikes. Our trench just gets obliterated every ten seconds it's very irritating.
It's a good game but it's way to easy to press redeem points (you lose your points for a small amount of money) and buy points (we've accedently swiped across the top of the screen and redeemed our points).
This is a fun game and we really want to play this game with our brother, but this version(1.4) doesn't work with multiplayer. Please fix :( we'll rate five stars when this gets fixed.
The game used to be great but then the updates stopped and well it's now horrible it also doesn't help that they lost the partner ship with EA even though EA are cash cows but we seem to not be able to play multiplayer on it either.
It seems that you messed up the multiplayer function on both global multiplayer and local multiplayer… Although we do understand the reason for some things, such as if the AI didn't have infinite money you could overpower the enemy with spy's which isn't supposed to happen, we don't understand how you messed up the multiplayer function. We do hope you fix this. Otherwise it's a great game.
The campaign seems basically worthless with the AI they have what apparently is infinite gold tried the first mission on normal and we just get obliterated every time. We might just be bad but the gold is a big issue.
The spy ruins this otherwise good game.
We have fond memories of trenches we and was actually looking to get it on a new phone but couldnt find it anymore and got this instead. This game makes us so mad its not worth it. The AI isnt better than a human by any means, but its insanely hard to defeat. First, the unfair monetary advantage. Second, it spams artillery which requires you to have amazing micro, which is difficult just by the mechanics of the game not being great. Lastly, and most importantly YOURE UNITS DONT FREAKING LISTEN TO YOU. If a unit is in combat, it will ignore any command you give it aside from a general all-army retreat. This does things like: not let your units take one step forward to get into a trench or behind cover, causing them to lose an easily winnable fight, or cause them to stand right in the path of otherwise easily dodge-able artillery. Also sometimes the map gen is just abysmal. We just got done winning a campaign mission that took almost two hours because there were multiple positions that you had to advance through open terrain into fortified positions and there simply was no choice. It really seems that time efficient victories are only achievable if you use a small subset of op units cough spies cough, and that fact can never underly a quality game. If you want to play multiplayer only or get a brief bit of nostalgia its ok enough, but if you like playing the trench series for the campaigns, dont bother unless you like repetitively cheesing with a single strategy or throwing real money into the perks system.
This game and its devs clearly only care about cash grab, they released the same game on the store 3 times some how and in game its clear the enemy makes money at a crazy rate in comparison to you making the game far more difficult making you want to spend real money (which is a thing you can do in game) to keep up, not to mention the Ai is not intelligent it doesnt attack in mass or defend all it does is buy a unit when it can and most of the time send it forward one at a time ( is this is kinda contradictory to our last point saying the game is difficult but believe us it still functions annoyingly) we left two stars because Ive had this for a while and liked it a bit but practically, the games no good.
Storyline of a trenches II game 1. Build an army 2. Rack up kills and advance them 3. Get ur entire army blown away by the CPU with one air strike. 4. Restart the army 50 million more times.
Starts out well and then goes badly wrong. Buggy and a rip-off.
We're sure we're not the only one who encounters this, but every time we go to do something we end up pressing the redeem perk button! Either get rid of it, or move it.
