I have loaded this twice on my nexus 4, first time it wouldn't load past the title screen, second time I pressed campaign and then it loaded for 5 minutes and then I lost patience. Reading the other reviews this seems to be a common problem. I just want to play a game on my phone so I'll play something else not by this dev.

U70%
by U####:

Plays great on my Nvidia Shield tablet. I had no issues what so ever and am running android 5.0. Like Hearthstone, this does suck battery power like crazy though! This is a PC port so I am positively surprised how well it actually runs on this mobile device. I would not even try installing this on my Samsung S4 though.

H70%
by H####:

Up everytime during the beginning missions causing me to lose my progress. Game is broken. I wouldn't risk wasting money on this game. Plenty of other good ones out there.

N70%
by N####:

It randomly freezes and then you have to reopen the game again, losing all saved progress. This has happened 11 times so far.please address this issue and I'll rate this 5 stars.

Y70%
by Y####:

The game is more like a fleshed out console game, actually it is on all the consoles. Quality is apparent in everything from the graphics to the animation. It seems by the reviews it doesn't run on the nexus 5, good thing I don't own one. Otherwise worth it all the way!

J70%
by J####:

Can't give a proper review until I can play the game. Crashes randomly on early level.

I70%
by I####:

Great gameplay. Freezes a fair amount which I could deal with if it didn't delete my profile making me start over

D70%
by D####:

Like some others, I experienced this game freezing up a lot, however I tried putting my phone into flight mode which solved the problem. Solve this bug for 5*.

U70%
by U####:

The game seems like it has a lot of potential, however it is hard to enjoy it when it frequently crashes. I will update this review when a patch comes out to fix the issues.

U70%

Looks like it could be a good game though I'll never know as it constantly crashes. Wouldn't of wasted my money if I'd of known

Keeps freezing on my s4. Hoping for a stability patch as I've really enjoyed what I've played but it is unplayable for me at the moment after the first level.

C70%
by C####:

Seems like a cool game, but can't even make it through tutorial without it crashing, then have to repeat it. 3 times now. I'll wait until fixed to dive in.

Great game, great gameplay, but freezes a lot during game and you have to force quit and start over, freezes during saving, has bugs. It's unplayable on my HTC One M7. Please fix with update! Still freezes with new update.

In the "Skulls anywhere" it said "Failed to connect to async server" wtf? How to play with my friends via internet-based?

Used to keep freezing but now seems to play error free. Fun strategy game

when typing for login or on multiplayer it wouldn't let me type certain keys and would close my swiftkey keyboard. Had to swap to sense keyboard.

I'm using a Nvidia Shield Tablet running Android 5.0.1 and the game installs fine, however when opened, it doesn't load past the logo screen. I will increase my rating when this is fixed.

It is a waste of money I just bought the game and it freezes up constantly if you did want to enjoy this game you couldn't so save your buck and don't waste it on trash you will not be playing by next week anyway.

Could be a great game if wouldn't crash and freeze often. I have so far tried this on 2 different unique phones...one running android 4.4.2 and the other running 5.02, Galaxy Note 4 and LG G3, both crash and freeze at times. The sad thing about this is that it works perfect on an ipad, no crashes or freezing. Otherwise it's a fum game to play. Please iron out the bugs so we can enjoy this game better.

W70%
by W####:

But the game continually loses my saved progress, even though I'm logged into Google games profile. Happens after the game freezes. Three times total, and haven't made it beyond the 9th stage because of it

Q70%
by Q####:

I changed my rating to two stars. IT FREEZES WAY TOO MUCH. Often in the middle of matches and the progress during the match doesn't get saved and matches get longer the more you progress in the campaign. It's extremely frustrating to be 15 minutes into a match and then the game freezes requiring you to force stop the app and then start all over again. Playing on a Droid Ultra.

It crashes and freezes on HTC one m8. when typing for login or on multiplayer it wouldn't let me type certain keys and would close my swiftkey keyboard. Had to swap to sense keyboard.

J70%
by J####:

A very well designed game with good humor, nice music. However ruined with a very long load time wait. Dev, please improve the load time and also implement immersive mode.

W70%
by W####:

The game is fantastic - really nicely balanced, well designed and likeable turn-based strategy game - but it freezes, often, especially on the later/busier missions on my Galaxy Note 3 (Android 4.4.2) even with all other apps killed. Seems to happen when I'm moving units around. Only fix is to kill the app, restart and hope the autosave worked (and it often doesn't) :( Please fix for 5 stars.

I70%
by I####:

Units that move in one direction after selecting and unable to be controlled. Frozen buttons. The big kicker was into the fourth sector that now froze with only the pause button available on screen. Reload said save error. Wasted time and wasted dime. The time is the kicker. A 5 star game let done by bugs.

Q70%
by Q####:

The game often crashes when the game language is Chinese (simplified), but the game works well in other languages. And the Chinese font of the game looks very odd.

Bought the game, installed it, but could not get past the initial loading (10+ minutes). Reinstalled the game and gave it a second chance but same issue. Refund?

Q70%
by Q####:

This game is very beautiful, hilarious, and fun. The music portraying a feudal Japan underworld is tasteful and the gameplay mechanics are easy to catch on to and understand. This is obviously a big game so if your playing on a lower end android device it might not run as fast but it works flawlessly on my HTC One M8. Great Game guys!

I played it on the PC and it's a good game, but it crashes after the opening cinematics on my nexus 7 (2012). An update would be nice.

When I open the game on my nexus 5 it shows the initial screen with a yellow square in the middle and then freezes. Please fix!!!
