Community Insight:
Please remaster this game, one of the best games Ive played with one of the best systems.
This game is so good! It would be cool if it got updated and the graphics were improved and more was added onto it. With all the technology thats out now, just imagine how much more amazing this game could become.
Re downloaded – happy to see this game is still alive . This game needs a overhaul though.
Can we please get a 2048 firefight.
Ive played this game on and off for many years. We think you should add some aliens (like dog or horse people just to throw some ideas out there) the aliens dont have to do anything special just aesthetics. We also think the retiring feature should go away (or cost less).
Its Been Way Too Long Since It Last Dropped Years Ago.
This games concept was so cool, and one of the more unique and fun games on the App Store. We think remaking this game with an updated engine would be sick and be a hit.
Ive played the game for years and have moved it to our iPad but it wont even let us play the screen stays stretched even on our other iPad pls fix and Id be more than willing to continue playing and purchasing.
The game is addicting when you are absolutely dominating the players, but completely infuriating when you are on a loosing streak. The idea of equipping your team with items and sending them off into a war simulator is a unique one. Although, its execution couldve been refined more. As the game is too reliant on a ramdomized system of matchmaking and playing the game. When it comes to our troops, we want to be strategically thinking about what to put on to our soilders, but it really doesnt matter. We want to command our team in some way to lead them to victory, but the game doesnt provide that. One idea that could work is to have set plans that is equipable to our soilders, how this would work is that the plans tell the A.we how to play, like maybe tell it to be offensive, defensive, stay with the team, flank the enemy, just something to give us more control. Then, maybe the fact that everything brakes, soilders get critically wounded wouldnt be such a problem. Summary, give the player more control over how the team fights, make equipping items matter and make the player think about stat changes.
Its boring and when we got the game we thought it was like a shooter games were u control your person like a FPS or something idk but its boring.
Games does NOT work in iPads this is a scam and game no longer works.
The game is ok but It will be fun if we just Control one of them because we dont wanna watch them.
THIS IS THE BEST OVERWATCH CARD GAME EVER BECAUSE IT IS JUST LIKE OVERWATCH AND we CAN WATCH THE GAME INSTEAD OF PLAYING IT WHICH we HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IN A GAME LIKE THIS.
This couldve been a billion dollar mobile game. With some great ideas from the community. This couldve been an esports game. Fixes: AI movement needs to make better sense – have the AI move when they spawn, they tend to camp the spawn for a few seconds and thats game breaking. Please continue working on this game. Add a season pass, better content.
We wanted to play so bad. Some glitches with picking cards.
Its a good game but we want to be in the fight shooting the enemy's.
The game itself is incredibly interesting, but its extremely annoying to have to pay 50 bucks to unretire a player. The price is way too much and unless you save for that specific moment not affordable. The gameplay is very enjoyable and building your team is incredibly fun. It has a good amount of game modes and nothing is ever exactly the same which keeps the game interesting. But another flaw is that 2 or 3 soldiers will be injured every fight, and that 2 or 3 pieces of their gear will be broken. This is incredibly annoying and doesnt allow us to save up to buy packs since we have to save for when their armor breaks. The game is good but does have some incredibly annoying flaws.
This game has two sides, like a coin. Heads (good): good graphics, good UI, good maps (need more), great sound design etc. Tails (bad): the battle system on this game is strange and infuriating. You do not have any control of your soldiers. While you watch, the squad AIs battle it out based on your cards. Our AI appears to be dumb as a post. Our squad members are forever NOT getting to cover and getting slaughtered. They just stand out in the open and get pounded. Dude, its ridiculous.
The games is very good keep up the good work we dont know why every body kinda does not like it the enemys could be a little easier to kill though but fairly the game is AMAZING it is the best game we have had so far our first favorite game was Warface but it would just keep sending in the lobby of our Ipad it would keep doing it.
We love this game its so fun when we first started we thought it was a first person shooter but it wasnt but its still really fun and we love the designs in the suits and we remember doing this glitch where we watched a lot of ads and got a lot of money but we forgot it :(.
There either needs to be an update or a part 3 of this game because this game has such a good idea on creating teams and watching them fight it out. This game sincerely needs a revival or either another part, we just miss playing this game and it being popular. Please make a new one or make a big update.
We love this game, but when we try to log in it says error internal server error so we are unable to play!Other than that though great game.
Great visual assets and friendly to free/casual players. Unfortunately, few people actually play this game. This also makes some Star Map progression basically impossible, since it requires many others to be in that mode. This is also why Im uninstalling.
We think you should add a mode where you can add as much troops as u want for fun.
We thought that this game was really cool and liked the new stuff this brought to the rivals at war series like weapons and armor that can be equipped to soldiers. We would really like if a firefight version of this game was made, that would make it even better than it already is. Thanks.
We think that u should add a bonus soldier/commander that can never retire for people like us who have been playing for a while we know our account is not on this device but most of the players have been here for a long time and we think this would be a help because free to play players like us cannot earn cash as easily of course a solution is always do more campaigns so if u can find our team (Spectre Bois) then u will see we have two elites as of right now and the rest gold we also hope for increased chances only slightly though for better players we have been playing since we were six but lost our old account and this is currently our new account and we hope u consider this request thank you.
We were wondering if you could add a strategy to it so you could command your troops.
This game is great and its very futuristic and great teams too with advanced technology and its a very cool game its one of our favorite games ever on iOS thank you for creating this game.
This game does have some bugs but can the players have control of they're units but aside from that we love your games – Raptor Company.
Amazing but matchmaking puts us against like guys 5-10 levels above us plz fix that. And at least make it to were you can at least control the commander.
We love this game and we can't stop playing the game.
The pickture on the front looks amazing as a gun we love this game and even more the guns and it has great grafics.
Fantastic game! Found this game few years ago but because of the problem with our phone it's until we got an iPhone now that we finally can play it:).
Soooooooooo by the look of things this is the best games you guys have made your last update was a year ago now we know that people still play this now were just waiting for an update itd be great to be able to direct your units during battle or when to activate perks and a different variety of soldiers would be greatly appreciated but other than that still a great game plz do not give up on this game it is so fun and we still play it plz finish it.
We want to control our soldiers that would be awesome! Plz do that in the next update! Also get rid of retired soldiers and broken stuff and tours and the whole renewing ur weapons things that's so stupid plz get rid of that.
We know the makers of the game need money they deserve it but here's our problem your soldiers retire after so long and it cost 50 bucks to unretire them which if u lose ur best gold players it's hard to win campaigns to get them back especially after losing 3 gold or better plz drop the cost to 20 that makes it affordable and people usually don't have enough patent so u still make money and ur height paying customers like us don't leave the game win win (: other than that keep it up.
This game has been out for a really long time and the developers keep this game running smoothly. Keep it up.
This game is extremely fun but it would be much better if we could control our soldiers.
We had this game a couple months ago and got tired of the crappy matchmaking and uninstalled but made sure to get the code thing for our team so if we ever wanted to get it again we can have our team back but the code isnt working? How can we get our team back.
Im in star map and our challenge is to play 10 campaign games but we cant and its not loading in players to play , so please fix this . Otherwise game is fun.
OK listen the game is good its just we had a little problems we mean first of all we get matched up with people who are like 10 to 20 overalls higher than us by the way Im like52 and the way they declared the winner is kind of stupid because we played a person that was 20 rates lower than us and they won and they had no cards in the deck we mean we understand its not a new were game but it could use some Fixe A few good things about it or how your team can become really good but so can in other peoples and how you can get cool gear and you can get a lot of coins pretty quick but you cant be bad at this game you have to get better at it get better at it this game needs an update but overall this game is pretty solid game nothing really bad is happening to us but then again its what happens to you that matters.
We lovvvvve this game l love everything about it. Besides that you dont actually play the game. Thats super bad because you dont have the same experience:).
The game is great, fun and stuff. However, we are unable to play anymore. When ever we press the campaign, rival, or the quick battle button, it kicks us out of the app. Which is unfortunate, because we were looking forward to playing more. Also, it's way too easy to obtain good cards. We've played for 2 days, and we already have a full gold deck,(excluding the commander) and we've won 1st in all the campaigns. We're not sure if we are a noob, and think we're decent, but that's our intake. Adding a way to control your troops would be nice as well. Please fix, thank you.
First off, the matchmaking is absolutely dreadful! For nearly 10 games in a row we were matched against people who are 5 levels above us and have a much higher team rating. (we're rating 32, the highest we were matched against was 46!) Second, the AI is godawful. We've watched so many games where our troops absolutely refuse to enter the objective area, they simply stand outside it and allow the enemy team to waltz inside. We could stand the matchmaking failures if our team was in the least bit functional.
You have to pay to do EVERYTHING. Also the matchmaking is crap.
MATCHMAKING!!! Everything in this game is perfect. You create your own team with different gear cards for each soldier, get to name them, and can earn in-game currency to buy and upgrade them. In order to get in game currency, you need to either battle or purchase them using your real money$$$. But of course we want to earn it so we battle others online, only problem is im getting matched with people 20, 30, and even 40+ overall then our team overall which makes it hard to win. FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING THEN ILL GIVE IT A BETTER RATING.
This is the trashiest game we have in our life.
We love the game. Except for the fact that EVERYONE IN THE GAME HACKS!! How is that in any way fair to those 10% who play the game right and build their team from the ground up?! ITS A HUGE PROBLEM! We Literally can't play without going up against a hacker who freaking modifies the classes and weapons and one shots each of our guys half the time who are GOLD soldiers mind you while the other people are goddamn silver! It's stupid and it shows the developers don't give a crap if their game is broken.
DO NOT GET THIS GAME.we WENT UP AGAINST PEOPLE WAY BETTER THEN ME 7 TIMES IN A ROW.THAT RIGHTS 7 TIMES.THIS IS THE WORST GAME YOU CAN GET NEVER PLAY THIS GAME.
Looks good but you don't control the units. At the heart if this game is a deck building card game then you get to watch how that deck plays out in a small arena. You don't get any control and there are no tactics besides "get better cards". Yawn. Hey, at least we wasted less time playing it than these idiots did making it.
