Battle Simulator: Idle Warfare

Interesting concept. I enjoyed the first two hours of gameplay. I was able to get to level 60+. I have two concerns with this game the first is the number and type of ads this app will make you watch. The second is reward progression or to put it another way game progression. Ads are typically 30 seconds of video with an additional pop up at the end. If your device, data plan, or mental state struggles to support this type of app, you may want to look elsewhere for your entertainment. Mandatory add watching is not consistent and that you may be able to play a couple levels without watching an ad. However you can also watch ads repeatedly every level. You can also voluntarily watch ads for additional rewards. When you first start playing this game the rewards match the level that you’re playing. The whole point of this game is to collect units/cards that can be combined to produce stronger units that you use to fight opponents throughout history in short battles of approximately 30 seconds. When I first started a random card/unit was 100 gold. Buy level 60+ each card/unit was 14,000 gold and the reward to complete each level was approximately 1K to 1.5 K gold. You will probably be made to watch an ad every 2 to 3 levels/battles. I would not advise playing this game long-term. The gold and card costs do not match level progression. You will need to watch more and more ads for each additional basic card.

This game from the jump has you addicted, it’s very fun, progressing through levels and upgrading your characters brings a satisfying reward from putting in time and effort. I have 2 complaints. The first being that recently I played the game for a few hours, only to notice the next time I logged on I lost every unit and upgrade I earned, but I got none of my in game currency back that I spent on those units. I noticed my Mammoth was white before I left, I believe it was a level 4. Then it turned back to a brown level three when I returned, many of my units down graded, also, I left on level 148, and when I returned it booted me back to level 110. My second complaint is the A.I. has a hard time moving around the maps especially when you have a lot of units at play. This oftentimes leads to a loss when you should’ve won based on power and positioning. I hope the issue with the game saving itself fixes soon, as well as the AI movement. Aside from that it’s a solid and fun game, it’s very casual and easy to play. And like i said, very addicting. Which adds to the disappointment of losing your hard work.

Super fun game to start. I love the idea of moving through time and fighting all kinds of different warriors. Almost reminds me of one of my old favorite TV shows “Deadliest Warrior”. However, it does get pretty repetitive after awhile and once you get to higher levels your phone may start to overheat like mine did. I also think it’s way too hard to get gems. And I’m not sure if the missions are supposed to reset everyday but mine have not. I think it would be really cool if you could buy troop/weapon upgrades with coins. Kind of like the “research” features they put in other games to advance civilizations. I think something like that would even make room for you to put some creative, interesting, or funny history facts about each group of warriors. My last suggestion is to let us upgrade characteristics like strength/health/etc for the heroes of each time period (like son of Og) and also give each hero an additional special effect on troops.
