Empires II App Reviews

Awesome game, if you can get it to load without crashing after 5 seconds. PLEASE fix this, and Ill update back to 5 stars

Great game can get boring after a while though, i wish in the next game you could base it on a world war two type of scenario with tank armies artilleary fighter bombers(and stragegic bombing) and destroyers crusiers carreirs battleships etc. it seems extremly complitcated and i understand that but it would be so much fun and also for more islands and terrortories

I love this game. I play it all the time. I hope you make a third.

This game used to be fun but the new update make the game crash on my phone every 5 min

Much better than Risk. The changes in this game provides a much more strategic and deeper experience. However the ability of ships to transport troops anywhere in the world takes away from the strategic aspect of the game, rather than add to it. It also gets repetitive after a couple of playthroughs. More features and rules would provide more depth and replayability. Graphics are nice. Not sure its worth $2 though, maybe get it when its on sale...

Even on easy the AI is way too powerful. Its practically game-breaking on anything but very-easy, and very easy is too easy.

It plays well, engaging and a great deal. It would be nice to have some more countries or units. Possibly artillery.

This game has no sounds ? It wont even let me play , Im calling iTunes tomorrow and getting my money back . Dont waste your time .

Good game overall but it lacks variety in nations to pick from.

Cant forgive these problems, especially for a paid game. The online version of the game makes it nearly impossible to find and then complete an game: 1. There are 10 different game map/difficulty combos. Usually only 1 of them has a waiting online player. You have to go through the setup for each combo to find that one player. The game needs to simply list all the games awaiting players. 2. Because the above problem impacts everyone, getting a 4, 5 or 6 player online game going is nearly impossible. It took a lot of effort to get the few that im in, but even those are a bust because... 3. In the 5 or 6 person game I found the player started the game 3 or 4 weeks earlier, waiting all that time for other players to find it. These games never get past the first round because the founding player has since given up. 4. There are no time limits on player turns. I am in many games (that took a lot of effort to find) where the Ive been waiting weeks for someone to take their turn. If I quit the game, it counts as a loss for me! Turn time limit should be a setup parameter, and the setting should be displayed on the list of online games you can join. Id only join ones with a 10 hour turn limit (so people can sleep). The game crashes in the exact same places the *every* time (in ways that i can tell the author didnt bother testing his own game! As a programmer myself, I know these are likely NPEs): 1. Resume a game button instantly crashes the app if the solo list is empty, which means you cant take your turn on online games unless you create a dummy solo game and leave it there. 2. The Spying button instantly crashes the app if you havent done any spying yet (which you cant check to see because of the crash!). 3. Crashes every time you delete an online game in the app. I have to use Game Center. No way to skip tutorial (which I was forced to go through many times as i reinstalled the app to try to get past a crash infinite loop. In solo game setup, there are many screens with no cancel or back button. You have to start the game, and then quit it, and then delete it just to change your mind about a particular setup, or if you pressed New Game by mistake. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app orphans all your in-progress online games. Says cant play a game created "on a different device". What? I have only used one!

Great app that really is stimulating. This game is a blast to play and even more with friends. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys strategic games and tedious planing.

Its fun, but unlike risk you can attack any country from any other country as long as you have ships, which is not hard to do. I get the idea that if you have ships you wouldnt be confined to only attack the nearest region of a neighboring continent or country as you are in risk but it makes it feel like one big mess once all territories are taken and every body is attacking from every which angle. Maybe if you could only attack neighboring continents/countries with ships that would make a bit more sense, as well as make the game quite a bit more strategic rather than the attack any country from any other country strategy that it has.

2 suggested changes. #1 The list of continents is not correct on the back end. When you click on revenue it doesnt list correctly. Should be more clear. #2. Ships being able to go anywhere in the world is a little much. Should limit these to 2 spaces or so. Overall loved it still!!

Very enjoyable turn-based strategy game. Very similar to Risk, with some differences making it more strategic ("neutral" countries, ocean-based attacking, balancing war, etc). Well worth it- Ive played through at least 20 games and still enjoy playing while Im watching a movie or something else. My only complaint is that the 1-player difficulty levels do not seem that different from one-another. And although games may end up longer on more difficult settings they arent actually much more difficult.

Fixes all the bugs that made the first game unplayable. The only criticism I have is that it wont let you play music in the background. Kind of annoying.

Really cool strategy game, Id love more features like more countries you can be or different types of units. Hope the first empires can be updated a little bit though. When your in a game for the first Empires: world domination the exit button in the top left doesnt work. Overall pretty great game! :)

I love this game, great job. Please keep working on the AI and making improvements. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes Risk

This is a simple, slick strategy game with challenging AI.

I really like the fact that this one isnt so buggy, but I really hate the map change from the original. But the biggest problem with this game is NO Germany! That was my favorite country to play last time and it gets replaced with BRAZIL!!!!!! Also, America is separated into 2 parts and isnt even the full country. If my eyes were correct it said there were nine empires to choose from, not six. But I may be mistaken on that last part.

A fun, non-buggy, Risk-type of game, that doesnt get boring for hours. Buy it if you like world domination, and have lots of time on your hands!
