What Makes MicroWars Stand Out
Experience the thrill of a microscopic battleground with Microwars! In this action-packed mobile strategy game, players take on the role of a microscopic organism and send cells to conquer their opponent’s cells on a board. The objective is to take control of all the cells on the board and defeat the opponent. Collect resources, upgrade your cells, and strategize your attacks to gain an advantage.
Microwars is a puzzle strategy game, where you need to find the best tactic to capture the enemy base. Here, brains over brawn is the rule! Create new invasion plans and put them into action in each level. Bit by bit, conquer the whole universe as your nodes expand and capture the enemies. Your expansion can only match the greatness of your strategic skills. But beware! keep an eye on your enemy’s strategy as they will try to overtake you while you are conducting your own offensives. You will have to build your defense and prepare your attacks in the same time, in order not to get defeated.

Community Insight:
Not a terrible way to waste time. Even on expert it is too easy to win 99% of the time. And why is it always Red#2 Purple #3 and Green #4 no matter what order we clear them in? Come on. Thats just lazy. We need our victory to mean something.
This game is amazing Definitely recommend.
You get bombarded with an incredible and unreasonable amount of ads in hopes that youll pay to get rid of them, only to uncover a shallow game that goes nowhere, purpose-built to make quick cash for the devs.
We purchased this game on our previous phone yet no matter how many times we press restore purchases it does nothing.
Game seems fun. Cannot seem to buy version with no ads. Constant ads makes game unplayable.
We purchased no ads MONTHS ago. Our card was charged so we know Its paid for. Yet its literally been months and we still havent gotten the no ads that we were charged for. Its an interesting way for the game developers to run a scam to say the least $3.99 at a time for something youll never receive and no way to contact them outside of these reviews theyll never give a second glance to while enough people are getting ripped off to pad their pockets rather nicely. Clever con artists, shame thats all these scum are.
This game is so fun really easy and easy to learn by impossible to Master.
El juego es muy bueno le doy 5 estrellas por que us gusta mucho el juego.
Finally. A game on the App Store that isnt smelly garbage and in your face all the time. Still puts lots of ads in your face. This is what doesnt make sense. For such a simple, easy to make game, you could easily steal just as much money from 5 year olds without as much ads because then people would actually like and share your game. But theres ads almost everywhere. At least when you first start which is when you should have the least ads in your face. None at all, actually. TLDR: too many ads for such a cheap game, although it is fun.
Some ads have no way to X out of. You have to close the game and reopen. Ridiculous.
Red enemies are designed not to attack you. Too many ads.
Im on level 389 and we only see the same levels repeat. And we already unlocked every skin in the game before level 40, Im just saying there should be some more unique characters and levels. Instead of the same thing over and over again. It would also be nice if the memory game was actually a memory game, because its not. For it to be a memory game it would need to show the cards first, flip them, and make you match the cards using your memory. Im looking forward for an update since we have been playing this game for over a year now. Thank you for reading.
First of all, the concept is fun. Its a good time waster that we play all the time here and there (500+ levels into it). However, the game has some faults. 1. An ad after every single level is just too much. Youll beat a level, watch an ad, then get lucky and beat the next level in 30 seconds, and have to watch another ad! We typically only play one level at a time now because its just annoying having to watch an ad every single time. 2. The AI needs improvements. We ramped up the difficulty to the max after a couple days, and we still easily win about 80-90% of the time. 3. Player skins are only unlockable by watching ads at a certain point. Once you unlock a handful by buying with the in-game currency, you can only get them by watching ads. We havent unlocked a skin in about 400 levels because we refuse to watch the ads just for a skin. We dont even use the skins, so its not a big deal, but its just weird to have a huge stockpile of money and literally nothing to use it for because you just dont need it after a certain point. 4. We havent gotten the top reward from the chests. Ever. You collect keys in levels and once you get three you can open three chests and try to get the top reward (sometimes a skin). Ive never gotten the top reward and Im 500+ levels into the game. Im not sure if Im just really unlucky but we mustve opened 50+ chests by now so Overall its a decent game, the concept is solid, just some quirks that make it annoying sometimes. If these things were fixed and some updates to the game happened to make it go a little deeper, it would be a really great game.
Old concept, poorly executed, lots of ads. It's not a game, it's a revenue generator.
For some reason we really love it.
The Animation is so cute! We This game. The game is perfect. Im Speechless.
Love it wish was even harder with a master level.
Im just writing this review in hopes that the dev(s) will see it and make more levels because every level past 50 is a repeat and Im on level 1890. The game is very relaxing to us, and Id just like to see new levels and skins, thanks.
Too easy, and about 3x too many ads. Game is pretty laggy too. Great idea though.
We have truly enjoyed this game. Its quick and fun. The one ask we would have is that you build a more challenging version. You added levels which seem to act smarter but the move so slow that we still almost never lose. Its nice to feel like beast every once in awhile but we wish there was a mode that was truly challenging. The key to this game is making snap decisions strategically. If you always have the bot taking .5-1 second to make a decision it will be very rare for us to have a challenge :).
Its a fun game and we like that you can pick your own difficulty level. However, we bought all the different faces of our pawn and now theres NOTHING to spend our 24,000 in gold on?!?! It feels pointless now. Need more like backgrounds or more faces or something. Otherwise we would have given it 5 stars.
Its a really fun game dont get us wrong the only issue is its really easy. The only one we struggled on was expert the rest seemed to be normal and we got to level 208. But we do recommend playing it it is really fun.
We used to love playing this in our spare time. Spending like an hour at a time on it. Then the update came out and even on easy mode we cant win. We dont know if its just our phone but it made us delete the app.
Dont get us wrong, we love this game. We think at its best its satisfying, its addicting, and super intense at times. At its worst its repetitive, lackluster, boring at times, and unrewarding. Our main issues are the lack of levels, Im currently at 430 and Ive seen them all, about 5 times. Not only that but why is it that we HAVE to watch an ad to unlock a character. Why is it that we have to luckily find a character in a chest box. When we first started we were able to purchase character after a level, now what do we do with all the coins we have?! Theres just so much missing from this game that could make this a little more enjoyable. You got the balls downs, now give us an incentive to play! Maybe add little hats that we can purchase with the coins we have, maybe add an ULTRA RARE character we can purchase. Maybe add a chart ranking system. Multiplayer? Maybe then Ill buy the ad free game. We like the addition of difficult levels, but this game is missing so much more. Kindest regards, a very big fan.
No real direction here. Good game design. Just an ad driver. Coins cant buy anything. We know it takes time to develop… So keep adding lvls different boards… Then figure out what coins buy to increase… Anything… Problem is now players have like 409-800k of coins.
Way to many ads… We get one every round also sometimes it says skip or watch ad for extra credits and we click skip so we dont have to watch an ad but we get one anyway so Ill rate this game a 3-10 because its fun but everything else is just down right bad and horrible it should be taken off the App Store tbh.
Expect to either buy the no ad pass for $3.99 or play in airplane mode. Otherwise over a third the time in the app is spent watching a full screen ad. Also the small ads during gameplay often cause the game to freeze up.
Its a great game but the memory card game is kinda ridged. Gg homies.
We wanted to give this game 5 stars if it wasnt a laggy mess. Im playing on an iPhone 8 and every time we open a new level it lags out making it very difficult for us to select multiple guys to attack.
The basic game play is fantastic and worth to pay the 3.99 for no ads. The draw back is there are no gameplay options. One cant change game length, change amount of opponents, Level select change opponent difficultly. If those were added this would easily be a 5 star game. To make it even better would be to have different Projectiles with different strengths and weaknesses.
This game is great, except for the fact that only has one game mode. We would be cool with doing the timer mode every now and then, but we truly like the idea of dominating in these games to pass the time. If that ever changes Ill change our rating.
The game is fun, however its too common to be slowed down by cells you have to maneuver around to get to higher priority ones. Theres no incentive to take these huge 50 or 100 power cells so theyre just in the way most of the time. Maybe if specific cells have faster regeneration, or more power (so bubbles coming from a strength cell can take down with 2x power, but regens slower). Maybe even adding a speed cell, making its bubbles zoom around. This game has potential, just needs some dev love.
Good game but too hard to maneuver troops. We think Clash of Dots is a better game like this.
If you guys thought level 40 was bad, in level 130 you start with 2 while two other opponents start with 46 (!) each. Theres a third opponent that also has 2. The big ones come right at you and theres no way to win, the only low grey circle is right between you and they take it over before you even have ten bubbles. How is that at all fair.
The levels just repeat and its so laggy plus their are ads every minute.
We wouldnt mind the constant ads if the levels were interesting. Ad after each level and sometimes on both sides of a level. So needs a little more interest in order to be with it. A lot of the ads there is no option to turn off the sound.
Its a good game all they need to do is take away the time limit and we would give a five star.
We love this game, but sometimes its super unfair.
Its a cool game theres just too much stopping and it gets boring because of it.
Fun game, good concept. Paid $3.99 for no ads, there are still ads, tried to get app support through the App Store, redirects to their website, no way to contact them (if you go to terms and conditions and then hit the menu button, there is a contact option, but it just redirects you to the homepage). Not cool.
It has a time Frame which we dont like.
Yeah its easy fun, not too stressful or strategic. An easy game to play for about 5 mins, would probably be fun for kids.
Great game, its fun. We paid for no ads but still receiving ads.
Great game too many commercials.
Theres no brain it seems like in the ai ima guess its good for our kid though he loves it.
We tried purchasing The version of the state has no ads.They took our money but still see ads. Ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still showing us ads Ive tried re-purchasing and it doesnt do anything we like the game but frustrated withi purchase.
We paid for the no adds it charged our card and everything and we still get adds not cool.
The levels are pretty easy so far. Im not sure if the player always has the advantage or why its easy. Every round you play is another advertisement. Its about 55% play time and 45% advertisement time.
We thought this game was alright extremely unique and was very excited to play. We have two major problems. 1. The games difficulty never increases, Im on level 120 and it hasnt gotten any more difficult since the beginning, 0 strategy. 2. We liked the concept so much we tried to pay for no ads, wouldnt let us.
We purchased to remove ads and they remained in the game after we were charged. This is a scam.
