Community Insight:
We remember playing this games when Clash Royale was going down hill years ago and we enjoyed clash royale and at the time boom beach so the two kind of combined was very cool and it very sad to see this game die. We really wish this game could get revived because we enjoy the game concept of this but its dead and clash royale is awful at the moment. Please devs revive this game.
Ive been playing this game since 2017 and we still play it to this day, on our Xbox, tablet, iPhone and PC via Steam. You need a lot of practice to master some cards and get the timing right so play more than a few games at first. We wish it was a little less pay-to-win but Ive beaten players that clearly spend all the money but dont know how to play. Is all about skills and patience. 5 stars.
We LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!! YOU HAVE TO SPONSER SOMETHING!! We WILL NEVER HATE THIS GAME.
We love his game is better that clash royale but we will love that they add events.
We love this so much but we can never get enough gold and upgrade currency but it is the perfect game.
Hello .our gamer tag on PS4 is. Its_420pro. In the just 30 days we built an alliance with the help of google translate and will power. We have put in a lot of time and effort into this thing. We rank #1 globally as of 5 days ago or so. Maybe 6 now. We have 40 members from around the world that we communicate with to let us accomplish the goal of being ranked # 1. It was great untill we received a warning from Playstation for spam. Then a few days later 1 by 1 we were getting messages through the ps app that the game was messing up. When we are in game. We can play all day long. But ourselves and roughly 15 other members are hacked. When we scroll to ALLIANCE in the game menu the controls take over by their self and it kicks up a connectivity error code. This has been since Monday night. We have a second account with the same game and there are no issues on our second account. We have done everything Playstation has asked us to do. From changing all of our privacy settings to changing our DNS. Which we told them was not the case because we are pulling 90 megs. We have spoke with our isp and asked them to see if our firewall was breached Monday night between 8pm and midnight. Our alliance spends money to play . With our alliance menu being froze for 4 days now we are missing a ton of donations which is also wrenches and XP. Also our recruiting is froze. If someone decides to be a team killer within our alliance we can do nothing about it. We have called the 505 support line for 3 days now with no success. It says Mon. Through Fri. But yet whenever we call it automatically says currently closed and directs us to the web. When we first submitted a ticket it said three days for you to respond Now we get an automated email that tells us it could be up to five business days for a response and weekends do not count. With this weekend and next weekend we are talking possibly 12 days for just a response. We are only 35 days or so. Old as an alliance and we are in need of desperate help. Please do anything to show us that this will be resolved. It isnt fair that you would still accept money from us even though are game is broken at the moment. We hope to get this resolved asap. Update. We got through the 505 support line Friday only to be hung up on after 2 and a half hours of being on hold. We called again and was pushed to the back of the line. So we requested a call back. Which we never received. This is craziness.
This game is truly one of our favorites. It is almost 100% skill based and battles rarely are lost due to the luck of a card draw like other games. It would be great to have more players interested. ALSO, 505 PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE SOON NOT TO MENTION SOME BETTER VALUED BUNDLES TO PURCHASE THANKS.
This game is super fun and entertaining but one thing that throws us off is that u get less trophies when u win and when u lose u lose lots of trophies for example we played 2 battles and got a total of 24!! Trophies and when we lost we lose 28!!! Trophies and it kinda makes us mad but all in all this is a fun game.
We love this game we would love to see it updated so more people are playing so you can find more battles please.
We love the game but for us about every 3 games when we start playing the third the person we verse can spam all the soldiers and tanks they want.within about 5 seconds there hole side of there battle field is filled with tanks and troops and its impossible to win.
Look heres the thing that what youre missing a full screen version where is the full screen version when we ever needed.
This game is amazing except for one thing: we usually fight against a guy whos level 1, but in mid game, we cant place down our cards anymore.
No hay apenas personas jugando merece la pena el juego asi que se toma entre 1-15 minutos en encontrar alguien si hay alguien.
Cool game but we stopped playing because sometimes you have to wait like 10 minutes to find a match. Then other times it fires right up. Not worth the wait, deleted it. If the get the matchmaking right we would play a lot.
The game just no longer has a player base so you get really long wait times and get matched up against people you shouldnt.
It clearly has had inspiration from the game Clash Royale but it has its own spin on the game and is really fun to play but the problem is that finding a match takes some time and sometimes it can be really frustrating but when you get the hang of the game it can be really fun and exciting to get new troops. Also the game has no ads.
This game has potential and needs updates! There is a community for this game but we want updates for this game! Add ww1 inspired tanks since you guys already have one in there you might as well add the rest like the mark v and a7v the saint chammond plus many more! Update please.
Can yall please update the Xbox Version one last time.
The game is fun and all but for some reason we play against hacker and it gets annoying.
The game is very similar to the unit-sending mobiles games. No doubt that we need to explain that since it works very well. The main issue we have is the match-making. So far, we have faced an average of players that is 2 or 3 levels above us and over 200-600 star points. (This is large gap for those reading.) The range of acceptable fighters makes it hard to enjoy, especially for low rankers. Since fighting players is the only source of gaining items, (outside of waiting hours for free loot), it may discourage newcomers to keep going if defeated consistency. A small suggestion is to make facing the AI some tiny reward to keep some progress worth. Another option is to tighten the star point limit for a high chances of evenly matched players. Update: One month in, the match making is still bad. Currently a level 6 and Im facing against level 11.
Really enjoy this game but recently been a lot of problems with this app hackers. Ive noticed in the past if somebodys not winning the game your opponent will make the game glitch so you cannot do anything and they wins the match.
Mixing level 5-7 with 9+ is very unfair and makes the game pointless to play.
Tons of people just spend money to have the best items in the game and we have to restart the game every time to start up a new round instead of watching us lose times ridiculous game boring and stressful.
It just becomes tedious for us.
This game is a joke. It loses connection to server when searching for a match ON dot dot dot, ITS OWN FREAKING tutorial. WHHAAAAT?!? Ive never seen more incompetent game development. This game seems amazing in detail and graphics, the graphics is an amazing balance between art style an realism, and the little game play we had is very fun and as one reviewer stated definitely skilled based. But the game loses connection to its server when its trying to load up its own freaking game bot tutorial. Thats insane and Ive never seen anything like it before.
This game is unfair in ranking we got to fight a 400 rank while Im around 200 and it doesnt make senses to us FIX THIS GAME.
Game could be a lot better, if you spend money you can go further and get better units, if you dont, your stuck in the mud per say. Have played oppenants and seems they have hacked the game to get faster time for their units. Also can tell when playing a computer generated Openant, can never win. Clean up this game so people cant hack it to cheat to win. Honestly, dont waste your time on this game. Better ones out there. Grade C-.
When we would wanna leave a match theres no button and the Sherman tank only destroys building instead of tank like in wwII and and make rockets one shot the soldiers like in ww2 and make the little soldier house do faster it took 1 minute.
Its trash, just simply take our advice, Im not gonna break it down but just simply take our advice; dont download because you are gonna be hit with the worse rank match making, it throws you at someone with the same rank but the decks are all what matters and trust us you will get horrible match making with the troops so just simply dont download it because it will throw you at people with the same rank but much higher level units.
If this is anything like the original Battle Island by 505 DONT get it , a total waste of time cheaters took over Battle Island and 505 didnt do a thing about it . You cant even reach 505 anymore if it was possible Id give it a minus 5 stars.
We really long three times it still wont play.
There are lot of hackers that put 20 units at the same time and they are like level 2 … There is no way to report them.
THIS GAME HAS BOTS we KEEP GETTING WITH HACKERS THEY JUST PUT 5 HUNDREDS OF TROOPS IN UNDER A MIN DUMB we AM DONE we MEAN IT.
Drcrazy hacked your game. Sends 100 troops all at once. You need to fix the problem or will lose a lot of players.
So many cheaters on this game. It was great at first over a year ago. How are people able to drop so many troops when the units dont build that quickly. Too much money spent on this game. Rip off.
Do something about them! Its annoying. We refused to purchase anything else on this game. It is so frustrating to see the other team put out tons of units and destroy you at the end of a game you are winning or have the game freeze just before a victory. Really.
Literally just started this game after months of not playing it. We started from level 1.. No one is online.. Im searching and searching for a ranked game but Nope.
The ranked battles are rather unfair, because here we are as with 400 points being matched against players with scores of 1,000 or more with is ridiculous. The game is fun when you have a fair fight, however that is a rare occasion.
We give it 3 stars because of the hackers.They are lower level than we are and can deploy twice as fast as us.Sometimes we can beat them with our smart strategy if you have to cheat than you are not a true gamer. True gamers do not cheat they take defeat with honor.Please weed out the hackers to make this game enjoyable for the honest players.
Worst game on the net. $$$$$$$$$ spend spend spend. Junk game.
Game won't ever work crashes continually thought this would be a cool game but, won't even load up or download so ya check out the images and pretend like your playing it's really awesome.
This game is a lot of fun but the match making takes too long maybe more than a couple minutes at the least.
This is a fun game… When it works. The latest update locked us out.
The app crashes and game play is very repetitive so quickly stops bring any fun. Also it can take a long time to find any opponents so just sit around waiting.
We love the game, but it crashes all the time causing you to lose battles and drop in standings.
Addictive and fun to play. Played on PS4 first but love the mobile version too.
This would be our favorite game if it wasnt for the unreliability of the matchmaker. Takes too long for a match at times.
Great game, but the app crashes frequently, even after the v.1.4.1 update! It often crashes in the middle of battle while your opponent continues attacking, so you loose the battle and points. It has a handy feature that checks if a battle is in progress when you first start the app (apparently in case it crashes in the middle of a battle). However, it is too slow to load up, especially since it tries to walk through the battle as it already occurred to catch you up to the current state. Usually by the time it has gone through this, it's just in time to see that you were defeated (since your opponent continues attacking when your app crashes). It also gives you a message when your opponent goes "offline" in the middle of a battle (we.e., his app crashes), so now you can simply attack without having to defend your bases. It's a great game but they really need to fix the frequent crashes.
Takes too long to match battles, also opponents' level is not equal. Alliances or clans are mostly inactive. Try it just be warned.
By sherbear1017 just needs some updates and more characters.
