Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
They dont moreth into a car they transform into a car and we want more updates and bots.
This is a perfect game Ive been playing since 2020 no complaints but there could be some things added like gifting trading resources within alliances more ways to get cyber coins like after the Caminus league in alliance wars you should be awarded 30-50 cyber coins if you have 1 promotion point if you get a second point it should exponentially get higher per promotion point and to the highest alliance war league and if you lose a war the cyber coins amount you get from successfully winning a war will be decreased rather than increased and if you get pushed back out of a league your awarded no cyber coins and so on furthermore zero complaints with this game its perfect been playing with 2020.
Originally downloaded this to use as drawing reference (since you can turn the character models in gallery mode) but Ive actually been having a lot of fun playing.
We like the game is actually really fun but Ill liked more if you could upgrade the stars so getting titans and combiners would be easier.
The game has been fun for the years Ive playing it, Im loving it.
The game and mechanics itself are wonderful and genuinely such a fun way to enjoy transformers on the go, that being said after a certain point (AT LEAST IN our own PERSONAL CASE) the game will load and then immediately kick us out with a something went wrong error we can no longer play the game which is a real shame because its truly is so much fun. We deleted photos, updated our phone and the game itself an nothing has solved the issue. Terrible experience and honestly a real shame.
Ive been playing this game since its release so obviously we think its fun but recently we had some syncing issues and lost our base. We contacted customer service and they replied very quickly and helped us through the process to get playing again. Everything works as it should once again. FYI the syncing issues were created by us not the game. Anyway if you like transformers Id recommend giving this game a try.
We love any base building game and this one is the best of all of em. Honestly it got us back into collecting actual transformers figures. We love the unlocking feature thank you for keeping this game alive.
The game is a lot better than lego marvel and marvel movies are bad.
We think this game is very nice and enjoyable to play and we do think you guys should play it as well.
Game is excellent for Transformer fans, unfortunately if you choose to spend on bot upgrades for the more powerful bots at any given moment they are usually nerfed and investment was worthless.
TWhen you want to upgrade a energon storage or another building It takes 10-17hrs or 1-4 days to upgrade something and that annoys us but other than that really good game.
Love the game but it can be played while our phones in portrait form and if we can switch between the autobots and decepticons thatd be more epic.
Theres characters from the original series (g1), generation 2, beast wars, and even some collaborations and we had a base about level 10 if we remember correctly, we had deleted it though and taken a hiatus and when we redownload it we were completely reset from where we were back to a starting base and we had lost all of our progress even the combiner and partial one we had built, it said that our username was __#2 instead of just #1 and we honestly am losing the incentive to want to grind for all of that again.
We like this game a lot. We believe Ive been playing it for ten years now. We are concerned. Based on what Im reading online, we hear that the game is dying. We hope this isnt true.
Okay, so this game is the bomb. We mean, the graphics are amazing, but theres some bugs. Like once, we saw one of our bots running in the sky. But the game is overall 5 stars. And we even think they should have a dark Optimus skin. So this game is a must play.
This is such a fun game and it is so awesome on how they designed the characters and everything what we think they should add more of the prime series like shock wave prime sound wave prime like all them from the prime series.
One of the best transformers games we have played on any system. This game has a huge selection of characters, no matter which side you choose autobots or decepticons. In this game the bots come in different forms which determines how strong they can get. There are 1 to 5 star bots. Sad thing is you can get your absolute favorite bot and train them till they reach there maximum potential, but if you have a one star bot eventually they will become a burden to your team on high level missions. We've gotten both iron hide and Jetfire both one star and have tried to keep them on our main war team for as long as possible but now there are just stronger replacements so we have to take them out and put them on a weaker squad. Overall great game with a huge ensemble of bots and great strategic gameplay.
Best game ever for transformer lovers.
Amazing game we love no problems.
This is a very well designed game and we really love it but it keeps closing at random times and its really annoying we can still play it but we really hope this will get fixed.
Theres so much bots to collect and we love the devs and community Community.
We looooove this game, but we have something special planned for this game! On July the 4th, could you add patriotic skins for Optimus prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Ironhide, Soundwave, Rachet, Shockwave, Rodimus prime and Galvatron please? GOD BLESS USA!!!!!!! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USA! USA! USA! ITS #1!!!!!!!! Also, could you make scourges sweeps a power? It would be cool to see the sweeps. And, could you also add the astroforce to the game? They could be one of Astrotrains powers and 5 trains ( from generations 1, season 2, triple takeover, Astrotrains soldiers before the all crashed) could come and attack the target and move one to more targets. Please read this message, and we love this game and transformers! :) (R.we.P Astroforce. ) (that train should have slowed down before it hit the water main) (that was the funniest episode in Generations 1 ) HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!! USA! USA! USA! Please respond because we love this game. Sure we started this year, but we love it all.
For being such a generic style of game, Transformers earth wars has some really nice polish to it. (Although we may be a little biased, given Im a diehard fan of Transformers Some of the biggest perks about this game are 1: THERE ARE NO ADS. Although there ARE micro transactions available in the game, it doesnt ever push them on you. The game is perfectly enjoyable without them too 2: Its a weird thing to be excited about, but we really like the character interactions that occasionally happen when you unlock a new bot. They feel very in character, and have better writing and more characterization than EVERY Bayformers movie put together. 3: IDK, man. We just like it.
So this game is sooo muchhh fun problem is on one level 600 power we had 980 we did not win one battle but this game is so much fun but there was no new update but this game we play it every day every night.
Its cool and has a bunch a stuff.
A week ago we were getting on to play Transformers earth wars and all the sudden it said it was shutdown for us, we tried to reload it and it still was shutdown, then our brother got on after we told him and it wasnt shutdown for him, and both our devices are up to date, we enjoy the game a whole bunch but it wont let us play.
We like the autobots design and the chat but could use some improvements just saying please read this.
We think this game is cool and challenging, but sometimes it is hard, and we like the variety of characters in the game. We think this game is really fun.
This is a must for any Transfomers fan. We ve been a fan since 1984 and we love this game.
This is a good game we like it very much but it doesnt really feel that much different than other games like this but its definitely worth the effort and the gameplay.
This game is amazing. Us and our father have been playing the game for a long time and us and him can say we enjoy this game.
We love transformers and playing this game is just a good experience.
Had 4 accounts now we have 2 main , soon will have only one , lots have changed now its very hard to complete the battalion on our squads , lots and plenty plus of duplicated bits that actually discourage the players to continue on the game our main account been on this game for 8+ years , but this one its struggling just for so many duplicates . We are afraid will soon be disconnected . Honest review. Our dad got us this account .. Good day .-.
We had our account pending because we wanted to do the transformer side not last year and still its not done please try and fix it its a fun game 10/10 but you guys need to fix it.
Ive really enjoyed playing Transformers: Earth Wars, but we think a small gameplay improvement could make battles much more strategic. It would be great to have an option to target specific buildings or defenses without forcing the selected bot to use a special ability. Right now, they often attack random objectseven while being hit by laser turretswhich can make it frustrating to plan tactics. Having more precise control over attack priorities would add depth to the game and make battles feel more rewarding.
This isnt a review, but this is a great game to play. We just have a suggestion to make. You should make a wikipedia type app about transformers, so we and many others who dont have access to the internet can learn more about transformers. Mainly about different adaptations of the franchise, the vast majority of characters, and the stories that many fans that the franchise havent learned about yet. The app could include sketches and concept art of the characters and scenery. Sort of like a digital museum.
This game is sick. With all the good stuff out of the way, opposing combiners in your roster. Let us have Autobot/Decepticon combiners in our Decepticon/Autobot base. Pretty please with a cherry on top.
Ive been a transformers fans for our whole life. This game is a great version of the story line, has lots of the classic bots, and (best of all) is actively updated! If you want an interactive, clash style, Transformers game, look no further. This is going down in our hall of legends. EDIT: YODO1 you RUINED OUR GAME!!! Space ape used to runno yodo1 doesthey couldve made it a lot better. But your rebalance sucked the fun out of it!!! Rebuff ruination, beachcomber, and the others.
Update 8/3/25: The game is still solid but a lot of small changes havent been made. Adding bots and moving them around your squads should be easierand they just nerfed the best Combiner(Ruination) entirely too much. Previously using materials your materials on this combiner and other nerfed bots is very annoying. They consistently add new bots and changed for the better a few bots that were too weak. Previous review: This game has a lot of play time. It isnt a pay to win but its definitely a pay to be any good type of game. There are what seems to be minor changes that could be made to make the game not so frustrating. Makes it seem like they are too lazy for the changes: 1. Using exp tokens on a character shouldnt pull them from your team. 2. Character listing should be more dynamic. Able to flip based on search criteria top to bottom OR bottom to type with a search bar to be able to type in the bots name (approx spelling/spell assist). 3. Have the ability to drag bots to change their lineup on your teams. So when a bot is removed it doesnt mess up your lineup on the team. 4. The COMBAT bots and weapons shouldnt be 1 per star. There are way too many bots and not enough COMBAT bots and weapons. At the current ratio, only about a 1/4 of our bots can have a COMBAT bot or weapon assigned. 5. There should be some detection for the system to give some higher weight to the bots you dont have. It is a true gamble on what bot youll get. So with that in mind, DEF dont buy bundles that have chance of giving you a 1 or 2 star bot. You WONT get the 3 or 4 star bots you need.
Built a few solid teams and wouldnt you know, they nurf most of our bots. Dont spend, they will nurf.
New challenge has us facing level 8 players with level 7 and 8 troops. We have 5s and 6s with two 7s. Hows that balanced.
You guys need to fix the loyalty point system where you buy with them it doesnt work on mobile.
Great game for any fan of the franchise, would love a better way to watch the battles better than zooming in and out to use the ability but had the game for years and enjoyed it.
We lost our old account and cant access it had all our good stuff on there!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is messed up guys.
Why spend time and money on this game when the devs will just nerf all of your effort not worth it.
Our transformers keep going into space.
The battles to get alloy and energon need to add more cause in the battle zone 13 it says win up too 1,000,000 energon and 1,200,000 alloy and when we click battle we only get 300,000 energon and alloy like the same more or less energon but still have to wait and keep doing it again and again and you keep using all your energy on them and your bots so Im asking if you can update to like if it says win up to 1,000,000 can it be at least 500,000 cause Im getting tired of it.
It so fun and you can do different things in the games.
As a huge TRANSFORMERS fan, this game is the BEST! Playing this TRANSFORMERS game as a TRANSFORMERS fan feels great and nostalgic. The G1 atmosphere kicks in very well in this game. To conclude this review, 100/10 (One Hundred out of Ten) :).
