Avoid, too many cheaters
Liked it at first, could be a good game if they can get the cheaters/glitchers under control. Spent about $20 total before I realized. You think you sank someone, they just disappear and reappear over and over and sink you instead. Took me awhile to figure out it was cheating, not just lag. Last game I played it was me and another player at the end, had them down to nothing while still 75% hp myself, I sank them, they disappeared and I expected the game to end, nope, they popped right back up in the same spot with full health. We were right near each other so I saw the whole thing. Outright cheating. Game will never get another dollar from me.
Godzilla
What about you not put Godzilla and King Kong to the game if you do it I will give 5 stars
negative game
The new version is unfair to players. While market transactions already tax players 20%, if a player makes a small profit from trading cryptocurrencies, they're accused of cheating, the market is shut down, and ranks are blocked, preventing them from playing. Is that fair?
I want the jack h Lucas back
I want the USS Jack H Lucas to be a playable warship at a reasonable price no paywall behind it
Putrid game. -1000stars out of five, this has to be top 10 worst mobile game.
I typed out a long critical basically essay of how horrible this game is and how scummy and scandalous these developers of the game are and whoever’s behind this disgusting nightmare of a game. Long story short y’all might of deleted my original review, to hide Im not a bot giving you your nonsense 5 stars and just saying” awesome game, right on!” Or sum bs
Ok but can be better
Maps are really one side when playing as a carrier spawns you in a open area just asking to be destroyed

يرجى حذف صوت الاذاعه الشخص الذي يتكلم عندما اختار الصواريخ او الطوربيد نريد صوت اللعبه والسفن والصواريخ ولانريد سماع صوت الشخص الذي يتكلم كثيرآ نريد الاستمتاع بالاصوات اللعبه الحقيقية
Fallo en el sistema
Muy bueno el juego pero todos los días se queda el sistema, estoy jugando con mi compañero si me destruyen el ve que estoy vivo entonces no es interesante el juego, tienen que arreglar mucho. Todo los días
Worst developer
Total p2w game with absolute thrash optimization with cheaters overall
Malísimo
El juego es un asco , te colocan de niveles 20 contra niveles 55 no regulan las partidas mal desarrollo
Game sucks
Ever since they removed the ballistic missiles from ships the game has gone down hill. To buy coins it’s really expensive and they match you up with players that have way better load outs.
Kick me out every time
Kicks me out every time
Get world of warships instead
Health regeneration abilities really let this game down. Shouldn’t be allowed to regenerate your entire health. You can practically destroy a ship, but all they need to do is run away and they can regenerate to full health.
P2W
(This is a long review) I came back to the game working better than it had in years past and was hopeful. After a few weeks of leveling up in rank and maxing out the ships and gear that best suit my playstyle, I noticed I kept getting wrecked by p2w munitions that cost a lot of art coin that are capable of wiping me out from the other side of the map while behind a tall barrier and ignores flares and gets past gold bought layered AA. I’m referring to the Naval Strike ER that’s currently 2,100 art coin which can be purchased for $80 REAL dollars… please don’t lie and say that it’s a skill issue. I’d like to see you try and fight that without having one yourself.
The higher you go, the more you see the wallet warriors throwing all of your hard work away. DO NOT let this game trick you into using that as an excuse to buy stuff. Your mind and skill should win a fight, not your wallet.
Those who think that it’s a skill issue, I challenge you in a 1v1, completely open map, using only the same gear us peasants have access to. My game name is the same one as my nickname in the AppStore.
Very frustrated that I put years into this game, only for it to reward me by trying to take my money in order to have a fighting chance.
I have over $20 million in-game cash and over 6k in gold just sitting there and not able to be put to good use, bc I have almost no art coin and it’s very hard to get. And it’s not that I have trash ships. I’m playing in juggernauts like the Massachusetts armed with Korean hypersonics, the Constitution, the Gerald R Ford with the best equipment in-game money and gold can buy, and with very layered AA. But these wallet warriors keep bodying me bc they paid real cash for their victory.

Crashing
I love this game a lot, but the constant crashing even after removing all graphics etc… on ipad9 latest OS update as of today (26.4).
Could not play
Bro I could not download this I wanted my storage on it and I could not play.
Waste of time
Not fun and ask for to much you must waste money and it get boring fast
Crashing
Stupid game is keep crashing in the middle of battle or sometime
Boring
Just not fun
Submarines underpowered
The torpedo reloading time for submarines needs to be fixed compared to warships. Also, why do battleship missiles ignore flares underwater in a submarine? It’s so wild. Battleships are overpowered.
Can’t get past the first entry.
When l get on the game, it makes me go to the skins and pick one. When l pick it, l can’t press anything else on the screen, nor does it go to the next part of the tutorial. Please fix this if possible
Too much pay to win.
This game is good, dont get me wrong, good graphics, voice acting, and good weapon and ship designs. I started playing in 2023-2024ish and I could never stay committed to this game due to the pay to win, and the in-game store deals are terrible, for $100 dollars you only get around 10K gold, which sounds awesome until you realize most good ships go for 11-20K gold, same goes for the “Market” system, really bad in-game store pricing and everything good that makes you want to play the game is locked behind a paywall leaving you with terrible overpriced ships that take way too long to grind for (even longer if its to get better weapons for said ships) the only reason i gave it 2 stars was due to the good graphics and gameplay, too much pay to win if your looking for a game thats easy to grind and has no pay to win, also the amount of lag is astonishing, do NOT play if you have a weak phone, this feels more like a Console/PC game.
No support controller
The game is an interesting version of War the Worldship, but with modern updates. I really enjoy it, but it has two main flaws. Sometimes the audio glitches, sounding weird. Another issue is that it overheats phones too much. I currently have an iPhone Pro Max 17. Also, it doesn't support external controllers. I connected my Backbone controller, but it doesn't work with the game, and playing with my fingers is very tiring because you have to use all your thumbs at the same time, at different angles. This makes the game very exhausting.
Good game, but poor planning
So yeah, the game is pretty well set up, but the minor features quickly turn into major ones as you progress. While you get paid a great deal, you have to pay for these missile decoys that disables missiles and a fair cost as you don’t need them often. But flares for aircraft you need a lot as enemy ships spam defense missiles and they are nearly twice the cost, and you will rarely get a good pay day because the ai is a chaotic mess. The allies will just clump up together and not fight, and the enemy AI only targets you. And while it is like a modern version of world of warships the only good part of it is the fast pacing, and the game gets worse from here. As an aircraft carrier you expect to be the one constantly sending aircraft and being the main priority, but far from it. Like I said the ai clumps up and the enemy goes full on blitzkrieg mode at you, you just can’t do your job as it’s an assistance role and you can only control 1 jet or drone at a time since the ai can do that multiple times but you can’t, also the ai laser defense is op as heck disabling the warship completely and only being able to attack with the auto cannons which oh they are super weak. It’s all just an extremely hard objective in a simple game. Now I think I know what the devs want. They want the player to carry the group to feel like the best and they play more, but it backfires with having a half awake team and Germans for enemies making that carry feeling feel more like a chore than gameplay. So this game is far from the near 5 stars it shows making me disbelieve in the honesty and the game, while polished, I want true quality as gamers want gameplay and flexibility over hardcore realism as this game clearly represents.
Moderators
Moderators ruin the game by creating an unfair advantage. Moderators are also clan leaders and will ban people in local chat. Therefore the clans they are competing against can’t recruit in local chat. The game is managed horribly.
