★★★★★ "This game used to work, and I'm not entirely sure why it isn't anymore. I had an older phone so I thought it was that but I've since upgraded my device and it still will not run without crashing on almost every screen. It's a massive shame …" - Jimmy Adams

They focused too much on art & music, rather than smooth gameplay. Janky & clanky play; not much in the howto, menus suck, and really annoying rts experience. The season mechanic was a cool idea, but the pay for x other thing is lame. Why have a purchase plus in app bs?
it's hard to play multiplayer the server always crash everytime, please fix this issue
You have to be kidding me. So previously the Intervention was too easy and now even on normal level I can't make it even if I run with everything like an idiot?
MAJOR FRAME RATE ISSUES! I hadn't built anything yet and Northgard was already stuttering for me on the opening screen. My tablet has 5GB of RAM and 11GB of free space. This game is great on PC or console, but the average tablet just doesn't have enough power to run it. Unless you've got a top-notch device, expect a sub-par experience.
I did not enjoy this much less understanding it was impossible.
the additional files refused to download no matter what
no updates
boring after 5 minutes. cant train new troops literally still in the "tutorial" part and already deleted. womp womp
Keeps crashing on Android 16, never crashed on Android 9. Clearly not updated for a long time.
I cannot even open the app long enough to play. It will show the loading bar, then the app closes.
get this from play pass and almost unplayable. Dimensity 9400+ here, so it's not about raw power, but the stupid playpass keep disconnecting - meaning endless crash and can't reconnect/reopen. I love this game, from steam. But the android version is too terrible. If you can't make it stable, then don't public it
I loved this game on iOS/iPhone; the graphics were amazing. However, for some reason, on Android, they are terrible. I am using Galaxy S25 ultra, and yet the graphics feel like something from 2016. I know they have good graphics on the Apple, so why are we getting lesser version?
crashes nearly every game. acheivements dont work. sick of having to restart from save point on crashing. doesnt even display the stats at the end of a game some time. thegames are long so how broken it is make the experience rubish. not worth its price you get a game with half the content needing you to pay moreeven though the game is broken anyway. save your money
Not designed to be played on a mobile device at all. At a readable the UI buttons overlap making the game almost impossible to play.
Love the PC version but unfortunately poorly optimised for mobile. Constantly crashes, basically in under 1min, making the game unplayable. I left this same review in Oct 2023, came back now over 2 years later and yep... Same issue is still persistent, keeping the game unplayable. Sorry Playdigious, but it's clear you're not putting enough focus on fixing this game. It could be one of the best mobile RTS in the playstore if you only fixed the playability issues. Cannot recommend still! 0/5
boring af
This game used to work, and I'm not entirely sure why it isn't anymore. I had an older phone so I thought it was that but I've since upgraded my device and it still will not run without crashing on almost every screen. It's a massive shame too, this game was great to play, exactly the kine of game I look for on the play store. Maybe see if there are some bugs, would be great to play again 🥲 edit: I did all that is suggested and it still doesn't work
Fun game, but I can't finish a game before it crashes and wipes the save.
I'd rate it higher but there is a really annoying crash issue that if you don't constantly save will ruin your game. That shouldn't be an issue with a single player game ever.
fix black flickering
- Bad UI - Game crashes - Settings too basic for a strategy game - Updates are rare
for controlling it's terrible. you will spend allot of time wanting to pull out your hair
still no update for new clans it's far behind the pc version. disappointing
