★★★★★ "Too much building. I was hoping this game would be just a straight shooting game, but you have to build your base and army to level up to get to the fun part. It’s fine if you’re into world building, but if you’re looking for a shoot em up game, this isn’t it…" - Sparhawk62

Fake
Fake misleading game. Not the same as the ads.
Too many ads
You also have a set up that is just unwinnable with barricades that destroy your troops right at your cannon, but their troops and towers are protected and can walk straight through. It’s really stupid. I’m done with the game.
Fake reviews / false advertising

Paid farming game
The game gives you what it advertises for the first day or 2 then you cannot do anything without paying.
Always a base build
Why don’t you advertise that it’s a base building game… that’s the worse part of these games imo
Nope
Weird base building stuff like all the other clones of this game.
Greedy Money Pit, 5⭐️ Reviews are by AI
Uninstall while you can. Repetitive, greedy and awful
False
I downloaded this game and it is nothing like what they advertise! Period!😉
BEWARE OF THIS APP & REVIEW CHARGES MADE TO YOUR ACCOUNT!
Unauthorized charges / purchases made by this app to my account! Bypassed safeguard setting requiring apple password input (SET FOR EVERY SINGLE MONETARY TRANSACTION) in order to make / complete in-app/app purchases.
Data Collections
So I’ve been playing this game almost a year now and it’s been fun but now it is required to agree to their terms of service by allowing them to collect personal information and data and share it as they please. They also specify that they will use said data as they please and share this information with private entities and organizations as they please. Making this app a source of third party information purchasing. This is one of the biggest problems with mobile apps.
They sell out to bigger private entities to source your information and make it easier for them to steal from you and use your information to commit fraudulent transactions and get profits with micro transactions. Do not accept their terms or you are basically signing up to have all of your personal information stolen.
Top Wars is now a danger to use.

Waste of time
Game has become an utter waste of time! They let rogue groups run wild and destroy the fun and concept of the game. Not worth the investment!! Beware !! Extremely poor customer service
Lying ads
Deleted the game when I realized the game is nothing like the ads and no you cannot get to that point. Use realistic ads to set the right expectation.
Not like described
More base building games
Totally different
I haven't played this game for a long time so I re downloaded it and it's totally different. Why is it like the ads when I loved the old system
Terrible Support and Tons In Game False Advertising
Please beware this game has a ton of features that you must pay for and they will advertise it in a specific way with a 100 strings attached to it. Support offers no help but providing you with endless information to make you go in a circle
NOT
Game is not at all as advertised. You have to build cities and create alliances and do a bunch of silly stuff not fighting as the game is advertised.
Wow
Another lie. Just build the game we saw. I’m really surprised no one has picked up your slack yet.
Lame
Unfortunately it’s one of those games that require constant upgrading random things. Could’ve been a cool arcade game but they show one thing and give you another. Immediately deleted after the first 60 seconds
Easy
Unbelievably easy no real reason to play it more than once
Kinda ruined the game
Okay so I played this game maybe 3-4 years ago, and it was actually kinda fire- like really good. It had me lowk addicted for quite a while. But at some point over these last four years they updated the game and made it into those generic brainrot games where you pick up the guns and it’s the same repetitive gameplay over and over again. Misleading ads too- they’re nothing like what you’d expect in the actual gameplay.
So many ads
Ads everywhere. So many ads. Ads you cannot get rid of. Ads that persist even after you watch them and click to invisible Xs. Neverending ads
False advertising
The ads are lying to you. It’s nothing like the game. The real game is tedious and boring. And the funny thing is the attic acknowledge that, in the ad the one guy says did you uninstall top war? And the other guy said yes it’s nothing like the ads, and the first guy says well that’s because you downloaded a pirate copy here. The real game is just like the ads follow this link. It’s not.
Played a long time ago, ruined it
I dont like how they turned the game into the generic brainrot ads to appeal to the low attention span of kids. It ruined the gameplay, it just feels brainless when you’re progressing. “To expand your land you gotta play this brainless challenge!” No?? turn in back into the old combat system
Misleading
Idc about grinding and base building. I just want to do the dang waves.
False
Def not like the ads lol
Same lie
This game is same lie like the other similar ads. all I want is what you show in video, nothing else like village, building or leveling up
Horrible
Not at all like it was advertised
No not the same as the commercials
Only about 5 % is the same as the ads. It really really wants you to do other things and buy stuff
poor devs
i was looking at the reivews but the devs put the SAME response for everything
More lies
Stupid build a base game and very little of what they show in ads. Very disappointing deleting this game and would not recommend.
Bro it’s mid 😑🫤
I don’t like this game because I just want to slide the little guy but I have to play sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Much just to do like 5 minutes of the army thing.😡😡😡😭😭

Exactly what they say they aren’t
I downloaded this game because they claimed that it was just the part in the ads and none of the stupid top view “build a city” nonsense. However, it is only the nonsense. Apple should ban this app.
Me no like you’re game
It just sucks to be honest like why would you make a game this bad just why?
Not the game you saw in the ad
For the first few rounds, this game looks like the ad. Then it switches to building mode that is really boring and entirely focused on getting you to make in app purchases. Don't bother.
Nothing like the ads
Nothing like the ads. You have to build a town and play meaningless tasks to even play 20% of the game that was shown in the ads.
Bait and switch
The fun part is the game they advertise is only a small part of it and those sections are brief. You have to do a lot of grinding on zero fun mini games and stupid task to get to the fun parts again which as I mentioned are extremely brief.
False advertisement
Game trash false advertisement
Another fake game.
Mobile gaming used to be basic and fun. Now it’s all tile based “strategy games”. Nothing like the ad
No no no
Fake ads show a shouting game. That is were it starts. It becomes a slow building and farming game.
NOT LIKE TBE ADS
98% is not even the ad game it’s just side quests
انيك العار حقكم
انيك امكم

موب نفس العبه
False ADS
DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! I downloaded the game from an AD that showed a game I wanted to play and what I got wasn’t even close to what the AD showed. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!
Terrible rip off
Terrible rip off
Pay to win game with toxic community
Played this game for 4 months and enjoyed it generally. I even spent about $30 for “perks” along the way. Decided to delete it after some players who clearly spent a lot of money on their accounts essentially bullied my alliance into dissolving. Their constant attacks and messaging totally ruined the play experience for me. But of course, the developers love these “whales” who spend tons on the game to bully other players. If you don’t spend hundreds or more per month, you’re just cannon fodder for the people who do. This game truly exemplifies “If you’re not spending (much) money on an app, you’re the product”. Or in this case, the target.
Nothing like ad
Nothing like ad
Don’t believe the ads
The ads are completely fabricated. The game isn’t like that at all. They do have some of those, but you have to do other stuff in order to play them and then once you reach like level 60 they don’t even continue with the kind of games in the ads. Plus the actual play of those games look NOTHING like the ads. It sucks.
Not what screenshots show
This is not a vertical scroller the way the pictures show. It has that for a few minutes and then become a world builder.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The game didn't look nothing like the ads
