Community Insight:
Not bad little single player strategy game.
If it didnt have a high cost for the full version it would be amazing ,and we like it its a fun game but its the cost that kills it.
Carrier Commander es bastante divertido! El arte, y la msica traen nostalgia, y estn muy bienvenidas! Comienza un poco fcil, pero luego el juego recompensa a uno por aplicar movidas ms estratgicas.
Very fun and entertaining! Multiple skill levels for all types of players. We couldnt put it down.
Simple interface with a deep level of strategy. 10/10 btw, totally not playing this at 3:40 in the morning.
Our cousin made this game and we had good expectations and it ended up being a really good game.
Its a fun game, but some of the later levels have bugs that freeze the game at certain times.
It came out just 5 months ago and its using the primitive coding with the pixel doubler. Seriously? In 2019!? It only supports 1 portrait orientation and no Landscape orientations. Im not taking our iPad out of its holder just to play this game. This could be the best game ever and with this primitive app design concept we wouldnt shell out one red cent for it. Repetitive and in 20-30 minutes boring.
Im digging the overall vibe of the game with some retro elements, cool ui. Starts off quickly teaching you how to play(then explosions), and then throws you into a tactical fight for your life(more explosions)! Great strategy game.
Simple interface, easy to learn. Dont let that deceive you. This game needs real strategy. Something youll play while waiting but wish you could wait some more. Yeah, its that good. Oh, get this, no in-app purchases! What.
