Strategy & Tactics 2: WWII 12+

great game but some annoying problems

i really love this game, i often compare it to hoi4 if it could be on phones and it helps kill time and helps scratch the hoi4 itch when im away from my pc. Even if i had never known what hoi4 was id still love this game though. while this game is great there are some annoying things, first off all countries are locked at the start but 3, id much prefer this game have a way to pay a couple dollars to buy all countries at once, if this is read by the creator id like to say i understand if this isnt added because it would ruin the entire mission rewards system once bought because theres no new countries to buy but you still would have to buy most maps with the in-game money. also this game takes you to the shop to much, i dont need a reminder that theres a shop every time i finish a mission. now for one very minor gameplay issue, with the new trench mechanic for infantry if you misclick the button it instantly wastes turns as you have to get the infantry out of the trench right after, itd be better if you had to press the ! button similar to other commands, anyway as i said this is a great game and i really recommend it to people, and if these issues are fixed i will go back to here and change my review from 4 to 5 stars

Minor Fixes

I love the game and waited for this version to come out on the newer supported iOS systems, but there seems to be a pretty big bug that starts later in the game if you go through 2/3 years of gameplay you’ll notice you’re no longer able to research things that you should be. After that you’ll notice the rounds start glitching after ending them, getting stuck on a random country’s turn. Finally, and this will most likely make you stop playing the save file; your reinforcements stop spawning, essentially wasting your resources buying troops that won’t spawn as the turn glitches upon ending it. Amazing game but like the title states it needs some minor polishing.

A complete downgrade from its predecessor

The freemium model destroyed my favorite series. Reinforcements are monetized and research stops by the time you reach 1940. as the Allies, you can steamroll Germany by allying every country. Diplomacy is run by AI communism where they take but never give… frequently. Historical is not historical. Ahistorical works the same way. Game freezes by 1942 frequently, I left it on for a few hours because I had nothing better to do. It was still frozen trying to calculate the Hungarian world conquest. I force closed the app and the troops I bought got sent to the shadow realm and if the dev‘s poorly designed game can pass a turn without freezing or crashing, I get my troops back. This actually happens frequently but was never addressed. Customer service is nonexistent and you can’t find the button in game. You have a better chance writing an email to someone who tried to rob you and get an apology or your money back.

Paratroop infantry are monetized or locked behind ads with barely function. I got Asia from a daily reward but can’t play it. Some Chinese warlords lack unique flags and that leads to confusion. This game would have been better sold as a premium product without all of those microtransactions. Instead, I’m given a broken product.
