Crash
Crashes randomly all the time, latest iphone & ios
Waste
So you’re telling me I spent all this money just to have to pay even more money to unlock the other half of the game. What a waste!
Keeps crashing
Most the time it just stays on the opening screen and will not let you click anything.
Won’t launch
Can’t launch game. iPad Pro m4.
Why I try to start game it says incompatible is detected and closes itself. I have iPad Pro m4 on iPad os 26. What’s up with that?

You’re not gonna believe this
I really like playing this game. I have played it a lot and really enjoy it but the game crashed in DLC America. This was really disappointing.
Don't Update Unless Your Ready
I love to play this game . After update , I can't even touch anything . Keep telling me Sync .
Greed
The game is med 2 one of the best total wars it’s an amazing game and their phone version isn’t too bad, my issue is the greed with DLC you pay basically full price for the game which in steam gives you all the DLC since this game is very old instead they up charge every DLC and kick their new updates like hot-seat behind it most computers can run this game so if your just playing from home or have a laptop just use the laptop the game is old enough to run on almost any hardware semi modern
Doesn’t work
Won’t load
No sound
I would love to play this game, but there’s just no sound. My volume is all the way up, everything else on my phone has sound, the volume settings in the game or all the way up, but no sound can be heard.
Dear Creative Assembly/SEGA team
Dear Creative Assembly/SEGA team: ** I am a strategy game enthusiast from China. I recently bought the iOS version of Total War: MEDIEVAL II on the App Store for **$9.9**. Although I appreciate the historical reduction and strategy depth of the game, unfortunately, the current version ** lacks simplified Chinese support**, which makes it very difficult for me to understand complex menus, task objectives and historical backgrounds. As a paid player, I sincerely suggest that your team add Chinese support for the iOS version for the following reasons: 1. **Market potential**: China has the world's largest mobile game market, with more than 700 million iOS users (data source: Statista 2023). Localization will significantly improve the penetration rate of games in the region. 2. **Player demand**: In the Chinese player community, many users give up buying or low-scoring evaluations due to language barriers, which indirectly affects the reputation and income of the game. 3. **Cultural resonance**: Medieval historical themes are popular among Chinese players, and Chinese support can better convey the cultural connotation of the game. **Specific suggestions**: - Priority is given to ** basic interface and menu Chineseization**, and the plot text will be gradually improved in the future (if the complete translation cost is high). - Open the collaborative translation channel of the player community, and the Chinese player group is willing to provide free assistance.
Amazing Game Unusable on M4 iPad with 2024 Magic Keyboard
I bought this game sight unseen because I’ve played it for countless hours on other platforms. That said, they’re charging $15 for it on newer devices (this game is over 15 years old) and the tracking on the newer Magic Keyboard does not work at all. This makes what should be an amazing tablet gaming experience borderline unplayable. If Feral Ltd is going to port these games they should also properly support them for all the platforms on which they sell the game. I’m likely going to request a refund here because I can’t imagine playing this for many hours in this state.
Horrible interface
The interface is just abysmally bad. If I hadn’t paid $ for the game, I’d delete it. As it is, I’ll try to struggle through and make some sense of it. Literally the worst interface of any browser game I’ve ever played - and I’ve played plenty.
No Audio
Experienced this and many other bugs opening up the game for the first time. Was able to refund it though through Apple.
Glitchy
With all the five star reviews I was really excited to try the mobile version, but have faced some major game ending bugs. It started when I went into a battle type view of a town by accident and all the menus and options disappeared and I had to force quit the game. That happened when I was preparing to siege Nottingham in the tutorial. When I reloaded the game, it was as though the siege preparations had never started and the Duke and army were permanently stuck in London, with no view of Nottingham. I looked in every menu and tried everything I could think of and thought maybe the option to lay siege would come up again and it never did, so I lost the tutorial.
If that kind of thing can happen in the tutorial, and was upsetting enough, I can’t imagine having something like that happen to a real campaign that I’d invested tons of hours in. I’m unsure whether to try playing this game more or just give up and count my money as lost because I’m already upset enough that I couldn’t try to win the mini campaign without having to start all the way over.

Love Hate Relationship
I love the game, but hate the mechanics. AI doesn’t operate with any logic. I like the battles, but the campaign mode gets too frustrating
Update ruined it
After the update the shell and cheat input no longer work. Pressing the top corners no longer brings the shell menu to input commands/cheats. (iPhone 17 Pro Max)
The game is good,but there is no Chinese.
