Unplayable
Does not translate to mobile screens. Too small to see or click on anything.
DE better fix EVERYTHING
This game simply Sucks, it’s boring, Crashes often, Thats it, Definite Edition better fix EVERYTHING! It’s Tye last hope for something like HOI4 on Moble
Ужасно
Ужасная игра, тупо зависает во время игры и ничего не сделать, прогресс просто теряется, потому что невозможно сохранить, так как игра тупо в моменте зависает
Bro
You literally need to make it to where one person invades then the next person in invades because I was playing as Poland Germany declared war on me and I couldn’t even invade
Отврат.
Игра не оптимизирована для телефонов. Играю с iphone 16 , по началу все хорошо, когда сильно развиваешь свою страну, начинаются фризы, провисание и в конечном итоге вылет из игры. Сейчас хотел зайти в мир и просто на просто выкидывает в главное меню. Игра не стоит своих денег и нервов
Literally unplayable
I’m playing as Germany and I’m doing extremely well. I’ve take most of the ma and all of a sudden half my country is over thrown by rebels. And I’m not even exaggerating my country is literally split in half. And it’s not just this, it’s literally every single time I play I start doing well and I get berated by rebels. Even if the happiness is high. It’s literally just impossible to play.
Could be good
I’d suggest only playing this game on pc if possible, the dev has pretty much abandoned and neglected the state of the game ever since for iOS players. Expect numerous crashes out of nowhere no matter what you do in game, don’t buy this game on phone and just buy it on pc instead. Save your money
It kicks me out everytime
Bro literally when I play the game for a bit boom have to redownload again and again and again and on top of that the ai is so weird Russia attacks nato for example Latvia is in Siberia does that make sense to u NO
This game makes me wanna consider legal action
If you play this game, it constantly crashes and lags, and there is a bug where it just randomly resets all your progress, there is also another bug, which makes the game completely to the point where you can’t even load the game. If I am going to pay money for a game, it better work. But this doesn’t work and is nothing more than a money scheme because the developer hasn’t done any fixes for years.
Terrible Game
Terrible game with 0 depth. Dev needs to quit.
PAC-MAN has better AI
It’s ridiculous. The AI makes completely no sense. There’s no way to do anything diplomatically. You just hope everyone doesn’t randomly declare war on you, but they will, even if they’re one province versus hundreds. You’re just constantly moving troops and stabilizing land. Oh yeah, the only thing worse than the AI is the fact you have to by hand individually stabilize every conquered province.
闪退
希望能做以下稳定性的更新，老是卡顿和闪退
Impossible to Play
This is an absolute accessibility nightmare. Screen won’t flip, zooming in and out is clunky, and on top of that the font is almost unreadable with how small it is. Maybe it’s better on a computer possibly? But at that point i would just buy a real historical sim game. Save your 5 bucks
Great but he tarnished his legacy
This version is way better than the newer version however, thanks to him, ignoring his core audience, which was the mobile market. He tarnished his legacy. He will never ever have a customer in me again I will never buy another product of his ever again.
It’s criminal to why this game even exists
The game constantly crashes if you have over 400 held territories it’s not worth playing at all it’s been the same since it came out 5 years ago!!!! Never was fixed. Don’t play this nor play the new game it’s a scam, put this guy out of business for good, I’ll also mention IOS is the worse making this game absolutely not capable to play either!!! Apple vs. Android play this on Android for better compatibility
Horrendous game
Absolutely terrible experience. Every single time I go to select a nation it just randomizes and picks some random nobody nation in the middle of nowhere. It’s not a fat finger situation, because if I pick a two player mode it will let me select what player 2 is, but no matter how I attempt to select a nation for player 1 it does not matter because the game will randomly choose for me. Not to mention the fact that you’re thrown completely into the dark playing the game, no tutorial so hopefully you’re quick on your feet if you try this game
Fix the bugs
Every time I get to a high number of turns my diplomacy for every country is set to 0🤦♂️ it ruins everything
Single worst hoi4 ripoff ever
This is the single worst strategy game I have played in my life. Nothing is redeemable about this game in the slightest. the combat is utter garbage, and there is no way to create any sort of historical narrative at all. I will be in the middle of a 1936 match as America, And France will declare war on the UK For absolutely no reason.
Bro this is unplayable for mobile
I thought it would be a fun game but it is for computer only!? That is horrible
Good game, DEVASTATING BUG
I’ve played this game for nearly 5 years, but a horrible bug froze my game and didnt allow me to even enter the app until I deleted it. All my data is gone. I paid for this game only for my scenarios and saves to be destroyed in an instant.
One Star - No updates
You guys have not done an update in THREE YEARS! I don't know how people are satisfied with years of same old gameplay from three years ago And I don't know how to use this game!
Won’t let me move my troops
I have to wait to all the other countries invade me before I can move my troops it’s so dumb
我对这游戏的体验
游戏玩着玩着就卡了闪退，这游戏多久没有更新了，我真不知道这公司到底管不管这游戏
There is no difficulty challenge
I play this game in legendary mode because the AI sucks. Even in legendary mode, the AI don’t build up their population, economies, and military to put up a real fight, a real challenge, and not being strategic.
The only countries I’ve seen put up a “challenge” is Japan and India. That’s it. It is so rare to find a game where the AI countries do something meaningful.
Overseas allies suck. If you want help from allied countries, they have to be in the same continent as you. Overseas allies RARELY ever send their armies to help you. Literally.
A nice feature I would like to see is you can send a certain about of military units as a volunteer army for your ally to control on their territory in wars for a certain amount of turns. The max should be 100 turns.
A weird annoying bug would happen when your army is traveling through allied territory is they will not be your army anymore. Your ally will suck up your army group and have permanent control over them, therefore you losing them permanently.
Sometimes the game doesn’t show you the correct amount of military units therefore not being able to give proper ultimatum to other nations.
Diplomatic Relationships will straight up stop working and you can’t improve/insult with other nations.
Rebel groups are broken and buggy. They will literally change their flag/territory’s color every turn you make.
This game needs a lot of work to be a functional game. Until then, it’s a poorly coded game.

Ton of glitches
The worst glitch is the one where the game looks really weird it turns the entire game into pixels instead of the normal game and the only way to turn it off is to delete the game and buy it again when that doesn’t happen it is a very fun game
Paid for App 3 months ago and no longer supported
It seems the developers stopped supporting the app but keep selling it. It will install and load up 99% for eternity.
Crashes
Omg the game is good I love it but the crash is crazy Every-time I am on war or skipping my turn every darn 2 minute of it the game crashes on me I play this game for 1 month and it crashes more than I can play it really annoying.
Won’t open
As the other reviews say, it won’t open in MAC, just in iPhone so DO NOT buy, just wait for AOH3.
Glorified clicker game
Game is too easy and crashes too much.
Lots of different ways in this game to build economy and not a single one of the is as good as just taking more territory.
Its a fun concept if you want a relaxing take over the world experience but if you are looking for something challenging then look elsewhere.
