Great but crashes on low-end devices
Love this game and I love the wow story so I automatically downloaded and haven’t stopped playing since I found out about it. My only issue is that it constantly crashes on my iPhone 8.

Fetish
If you have a foot, claw, pincer, paw, or hoof fetish, this game is for you. The most amazing artwork and animation you will ever see in any game.
2026-01-24
Glitchy
I would give it five stars if it didn’t freeze and require a close/reload every time I played it.

Crashcraft Stumble
Game is super fun but anytime you’re doing dungeons, raids, arc lights, it crashes and you have to wait 10 seconds to even shut the app down and restart it. This is particularly annoying in PVP matches. Blizzard fix this! And no it’s not my phone , I’m on latest iPhone 17 fully updated
2026-01-24
Broken for iPhone
The app is unstable on the latest iOS for iPhones. Reinstalling does not work, you’ll be fighting game freezes constantly.

Awesome when it still worked
They stopped maintaining the game, but kept the store open. After the latest iOS update, that’s about the only thing that doesn’t crash.

Bring back Rumble
Bring it back. Thanks.
2026-01-15
Surprisingly buggy
I’ve only played two days so far, but I’m not sure how much more I’ll play. I’ve already hit several significant bugs which makes the game frustrating. It’s a bit surprising for how long this game has been out.
2026-01-13
Wc Rumble
I loved to play this game consistently up to the point of when new content releases stopped. So much more could have been done with this game, but Blizzard laying off most of the team hamstrung its development, would not recommend due to the content cap and treatment of the player base.
2026-01-03
Nostalgic, well-rounded RTS-like
I’m not a bot, I’ve always loved the Warcraft lore since the second game and I was big into WC3 so this game brings back a lot of good memories. If you enjoy strategy games this is for you - you might spend a little to polish your personal army, but it’s not too crazy.
2026-01-03
More content
Game is super fun and low key addictive. After making it all the way through the story mode. I would love to know if there is ever going to be more content added to the campaign. I can appreciate the raids and dungeons resetting but once the campaign is done you have about 2 hours wrapped up in dungeoning then the game just sits for 8-12 days. Would LOVE to have more content available rather it’s more raids available every week - an extended campaign (like additional worlds) seems like a very good way to incorporate Outlands etc.
Great game, though! Would recommend!
2026-01-01
Since IOS 26 release, app locks up.
Enjoy the game, but can’t play more than 5-10 minutes without app locking since iOS 26 release. Has not improved with patches since that time.

Loading Screen Freezing
It’s a fun game but there have been a lot of loading screen freezes for me lately. Waiting for a PVP match can be especially frustrating when it connects and starts to load, then just freezes. Or it’ll hang when loading, and then try to reload again, then freeze you out of the game so you have to restart it.

Fire starter!
The game is fun, but what it really excels at is melting phone cases. If resource optimization is your thing then you’ve come to the wrong party. This app proves that there no such thing as too much visual activity. Your phone may only have ~6” of viewable area but this game’s engine cranks out enough particles to make an IMAX screen seem crowded. Load up and play (at one frame per second), but keep a fire extinguisher handy, and when you warranty your roasted battery — dont mention you were Rumbling.

Best game ever
Magical and beautiful

Fun game
Really fun, sucks you in ( as WoW does)
2025-11-30
Great game!
Love playing the game as a side quest from the retail version. Great while waiting for appointments or while a raid group is forming!
2025-11-29
Reviews are probably paid for and definitely misleading
This game does now deserve the review it has. I’m sorry but the combat is imbalanced and the enemy seems to be able to pull units and spells out of thin air when they’re losing. Blizzard continues to create good reviews for this poorly made game.
2025-11-28
Be careful
Make sure you log in before you purchase anything. Otherwise it will force you to make an account then overwright your purchases. Lost a few bucks.

PVE is great **SUGGESTIONS UPDATE** :DD
***FIXED***
I want to draw attention to how the devs actively interact with reviewers to help spot bugs and the actually fix them. I was very grateful to see my that my suggestions were answered. It’s rare for AAA studios to be on the ground level looking up.
All that’s said, I have another suggestion but it has zero to do with bugs, so no sweat on that. I propose that heroic pve missions give an extra monetary or in-game material incentive for having 6 teams able to clear the mission. Yet I in know way am saying change the number of 5 teams in order to fully clear for the sigil award. The 6Th theoretical match could be an opportunity to crank up the hard mode or make the fight match the level of your highest level unit or even making it a co op mission like some sort of daily task to complete. Anyways! Keep up the hard work Blizz! This moba is fun and refreshing
Just wanted to update my review and help draw attention to a consistent bug that crashes the game. Every time you sort by Cost specifically, it reboots itself
2025-11-11
Dead game
No more content. Blizzard isn’t developing anymore. Don’t spend any money.
2025-11-09
Everything is about your money
I used to live this game until they decided to put this game to the garbage can. Such a fun and cool game especially if you are a huge wow fan. However, blizzard’s money love became their habit now and if they dont get any money from your pocket, they wouldnt care about you r having fun. Shame blizzard. Shame!
2025-11-09
Was great, tech support is trash
Played the game since launch, after an update the game logged me out. Now on lunch the graphics just freeze, tech support just said to delete and reinstall. When that didn’t work they decided that’s all they can do.
2025-10-29
Force closing
Bugs. Shuts down mid dungeon or raid
Deleted and downloaded. Same issue
Also why can I not link guest account to my battlenet account
2025-10-29
Buggy
Apparently there is a bug that if you close the game before you finish the tutorial you can not play any further. Very disappointing.
2025-10-21
bugs, worse and worse
There are bugs of daily task in the halloween event how am I going to log in 3 consecutive days for the daily mission?. slow and lagging after updating. Disappointed.
2025-10-19
Good game
This game has hard bosses further in to it but overall all it has very good pvp and doesn’t push ads and purchases a crazy good game a challenging game
2025-10-18
Help
It keeps freezing on the part where i get to upgrade a mini
2025-10-16
Game freezes and freezes iOS
Great gameplay but new update now causes game to freeze and also lock iOS to freeze for a while.
2025-10-15
I love the direction of this game!
I love this game it kinda reminds me of playing clash royale but w even more stats and I haven’t even got deep into the game yet I’ve been grinding pvp so I can stomp on the main missions and I just hit 25 and I love this game .
2025-10-15
Обнову почините
После последнего обновления игра зависает, когда выходишь из игры. Где то 30 сек-1 мин экран не реагирует на команды. Если так будет продолжаться я лучше удалю игру, чем буду ждать когда же мой телефон крякнется из-за вашего обновления
2025-10-15
False double charges
If it advertises as 15 dollars, the fame will regularly double charge you at the exact same tine and getting help is through blizzard is nearly impossible.
2025-10-15
Very fun
Very nostalgic of wow classic
2025-10-14
Error
Please clear more space on your device and then restart. What?!
2025-10-14
Letdown
It was great until the said they weren’t going to add more content. 😑
2025-10-13
Don’t let rumble die plz
The game it’s fun a little slow to progress without any paid off but it’s okay it’s still being free , the models are so good I can’t wait to see illidan or Kadhgar in rumble version , there’s to much content from the Warcraft saga to see in this game, I hope the development don’t let this game die
2025-10-13
Bring back different pictures for different abilities!!
I literally play this game every single day, and I really miss when it first came out and when you would unlock new talents for every character, they’re little picture would change to coincide with the talent that you chose. I didn’t realize how much I really enjoyed that until you guys took it out of the game. I’m unsure if there’s a reason why it was taken out, but if at all possible, I would love for it to be added back in.
2025-10-13
Awesome game but needs new content!
This game has been amazing. A lot of fun to play. Advertisements match gameplay. Just needs more end game content.
2025-10-13
Fun game
This game is fun. Competitive without spending money!

No effort of expansion
I’ve had a lot of fun with Warcraft Rumble, but once you’ve cleared all the areas, the game feels like it runs out of steam. It’s not only restricted to a small selection of zones, but after that, there’s really nothing else meaningful to do. The events, while a nice idea, end up feeling the same and repetitive over time.
The Warcraft universe is massive, with countless continents and worlds already built into WoW on PC—Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Northrend, Pandaria, Outland, Shadowlands, Dragon Isles, and more. Rumble has such huge potential to tap into that richness. Imagine progressing through new campaigns across these continents, each with fresh challenges, bosses, and strategies to master.
Expanding beyond the limited areas would keep players engaged long-term, give us more variety than repeating the same events, and make the game feel like a true mobile counterpart to the Warcraft universe. As someone who’s already defeated everything the current version offers, I’d love to see this game grow into the endless adventure it deserves to be.

This game is no longer being actively developed or relieving new content updates.
The core concept has been very fun and a deep love for the Warcraft universe kept me coming back as a casual; free to play player. Unfortunately, Blizzard decided to turn it into another mobile cash grab, making it incredibly grindy for players not willing to spend real money on upgrades. I might have considered that if it wasn't for the literal endless amount of bugs that popped up with every single content update that just showed the sheer incompetence or lack of effort in trying to turn Rumble into a meaningful mobile game. On top of that, you had to go out of your way into the Discord server for the game to see any kind of news or updates because this company that's been around since the 90s couldn't figure out how to share vital information within the game. The cherry on top is they announced (outside of the game) that it is no longer in "active development" which means there's no new content coming to this already sparse game and it's basically on life support (still full of bugs) but they'll happily keep taking your hard earned money in-game without telling you that caveat. Shame on you Blizzard. What a waste of time and potential this game turned out to be after a year.

Overworks your battery & struggles to stay chargiNg while app is iN use, no visual settiNgs to lower
Overworks your battery & struggles to stay chargiNg while app is iN use, no visual settiNgs to lower. This also depletes your device’s overall battery life, yet it’s a “free Game”. Microsoft & Blizzard EntertaiNment need to implement visual/video adjustment options, because the only settiNg you can adjust is audio. Seems like a fraudulent, corrupt, exploit8ive busiNess dealiNg, & I don’t appreci8 Apple allowiNg it & not challengiNg it, forciNg necessary implement8ion(s) to reduce battery usage & overall reduction of battery life of devices. Of course it’s universal to all App Stores, not just Apple, but this proves mass negligence & ignorance to misleadiNg apps like Warcraft Rumble that encourage iN-Game purchases, yet they never upd8/improve their app to favor the user & their device. Are people really this money hungry & resortiNg to penny piNchiNg, immorally & impurely, exploitiNg people, their devices, & companies? Such a shame the world we live iN now, everyone tryiNg to profit while ignoriNg peoples’ needs & beiNg iNhumane. Sick

A world-class autobattler held back by budget cuts
I’ve been playing Rumble consistently since its launch while I was in line at Blizzcon. It’s a truly top-tier system with interesting PvE encounters, a solid variety of units, and progression & monetization that respect the player’s time much more than its peers in the F2P mobile world.
I’m not sure whether it’s this respect (and some presumable mtx cash left on the table) or general ineptitude at the executive level, but unfortunately the team has seen at least one big downsizing and continued budget tightening. This, combined with a decently fast content release schedule, has resulted in rampant bugginess, with soft crashes and startup bugs recurring anytime a nontrivial patch goes live.
I enjoy my time with Rumble immensely, and have spent a decent chunk of money on it due to that earned respect that I have not spent on other mobile “strategy” games. I don’t know who needs to hear this in the Microsoft Games/Blizzard hierarchy, but please fund your teams and give them a stable, secure space to work their magic.

Worst game
More p2w packs than the actual game contents. Leveling has no meaning as after 1-2 maps, the enemy out levels you again. Only 1 randomly picked mini gets any exp after a run, which fills only 1% of what it needs to level up, so basically can’t even grind. Only way to level up is with cash, which a couple dozens of bucks only takes you 2-3 more maps. Too many traps being sold that are aimed to fake users with no way to revert it and takes tremendous amount to fix. Everything is randomized and need to pay to reroll; everything that can be retried and the user may use reroll to their advantage is fixed. All maps starting at a losing stage, all map gimmicks are designed against the player. Strategy takes no place as only 1-2 level difference already destroys any compatibility. Game forces you to level at least five out of six regions and you’re stuck from advancing if you miss on any one of them, but it takes 6 weeks rotation to even consider leveling as all leveling contents whether paid or pve are blocked for that period. That is just the pve portion that any new player will confront at day 1. Wouldn’t even consider playing unless you’re willing to spend hundreds(if that even gets you anywhere) or planning to go slow and unlock a new stage every few weeks. Sincerely wish Blizzard would go back to its game craftsmanship instead of making empty nutshells asking for fast cash.

Used to be my all time favorite game.
First off, I’ve been playing this game since it came out. I have played this game more than any game I’ve ever played. In the beginning, they had some issues (expectedly) but they did a really good job at improving. This game is extremely fun to play. Still is. The problem is that the bugs have become a huge issue. I’m not receiving my tomes, gold, rewards, etc. When you login it only allows you to receive 1 unclaimed reward at a time. The problem with this is that for a month now I’ve been playing about 5 or 6 hours a day. So we are talking 4 or 5 tomes a day that I’m not receiving for a month. Then opening the app and only being compensated for on tome or whatever the reward might be. This is a major subject in the forums and Blizzard has claimed to fix this but that is simply not true. Tomorrow I will try to contact support and see what happens but I doubt anything will. I’m seeing multiple people complaining that they are being told by customer support that their unclaimed tomes have been claimed when it’s obvious they haven’t.

Keeps you in until endgame
I started playing this game a few weeks after launch. Seemed entertaining as a previous WOW player. Game puts a twist on the other card royale game. I bought so many packs to level up my cards as soon as i could. Just to try to beat the final boss. Took me months of attempts all the while buying boosts. Finally beat the game and was left with a feeling of “what now?” Sure there is PVP and dungeons. But you need to be in a very active guild and on at the same time to be able to run those. Maybe implementing some kind of PUG function would fix that. The low guild member limit also plays a part in that. Maybe having more guild members allowed would help you find a dungeon run. I never was able to run any dungeons because my guild was on at different times even tho the guild was full. Decided to delete the game and quit after 11 months and $900 later. Sure the game was fun but it didn’t feel rewarding to me.

Skip intro is a lie
Blizzard again gaslighting and manipulating children from the very beginning. Oh sure, a whole button that says skip the intro when you download, but I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app tens of times and it’s never worked, I’ve been forced to watch their diversity hire nonsense over and over. My main issue is that this app is pay to win, it’s not even a game, it’s a business tool used by adults to manipulative children into thinking it’s a fair and skill based game, but like all apps on the Apple store, it’s not like it used to be where a game was an actual game, now business tools are designed to look like games, and frustrate and manipulate children into spending money. On top of that when you download the game, it then prompts you to download even MORE data thus lying to us about how big the app size is. It’s the new industry lie standard, and Apple is at the forefront of it all, allowing and enabling it. Then you have the problem with adult content in the kids game, the chicken for example is saying “come on motherf****r.” And if you try to bring it up in the blizzard forums, their censorship team immediately removed the narrative about it. Blizzard is not an American company.

In-game events are a complete SweatFest.
I thought the point of most mobile game is to have fun playing it on-the-go and enjoy special events as they come and go. Blizzard said, not this mobile game! If you want to mindlessly play a game in order to wind down and relax, find something else. Doesn’t matter if you dump money into this game, learn the best strategies, level up every minion to max, you will get absolutely wrecked in just about every special in-game event. You’ll need a change of clothes if you take playing this game too seriously, the sweatiness is real! The only solution I’ve found is that the difficulty levels seem to be on some sort of algorithmic rotation. If your bases are getting completely overwhelmed easily and quickly, just surrender and start the next game. I would say about 1 out of every 3-5 games has an “easier” difficulty level that is much more manageable. Don’t want to take my word for it? Try it for yourself. Good luck!

Terrible and steals your money.
I downloaded this game to get the pet reward attached to Retail World of Warcraft. I played all the way thru Hogger and beat him and it would not let me collect my coins I won as a reward. Online support said to restart the game, so I did. I still could not claim the coins and I am now locked into the GRID store where I am being forced to buy a character for 90coins… except I only have 30 because I cannot claim the Hogger reward. Next online support said to uninstall and reinstall the game… which just made my 30coins disappear. Uninstalling a second time made the coins come back but still left me stuck in the GRID shop. I went to my computer and bought coins so I could get out of the GRID shop and just claim my pet to never think about this game again… and now they have taken my money and not given me the coins. So I am STILL in the GRID shop AND they stole my money. And there does not appear to be a way to submit a ticket, you have to call them during business hours (which is inconvenient timing for me) so I’m stuck like this until it either fixes itself or I have a chance to actually call them.

Technical issues practically impossible to report
I start the game only to have the pink haired pilot with the missing tooth say “By the bolts of Mekkatorque! It worked!” And nothing on the screen I press would allow me to skip. I go to Blizzard tech section on their website to report, and only get recommended solutions for this unrelated problem only to go around in circles. Am I not allowed to report an issue? Do you not want feedback to fix problems so you can make money off of me? I only spent $5000+ on Diablo immortal, and want to play a different game for a change of scenery. This is the only place I can even write about an issue, about an issue and won’t get to the original point about my issue because this isn’t the place to report that issue! The place to report it is NOT USER FRIENDLY! Oh wait… you got a freebee from my frustrations. My report about my issue is at the top… anyway, I can’t play the game. You won’t be able to make money off of me if I see something devilishly tempting to buy, not from anyone else that has this issue.
It was fun typing this because it was the only entertainment I was able to get from downloading this game. I’ll remove this post when you decide to fix it.

Fun at first
To be honest the game play is fun and when things are even it’s a good game. But they advertise this as a game you never have to pay to play, which again is technically true. But once you reach the middle stages it becomes nearly impossible to progress without spending money or months and months just grinding endlessly. Except that as you grind you need more of everything but don’t really get much more so progression goes from slow to glacial. And to top it all off when playing against others they base it purely on your score to make things “fair”. Except they don’t keep the power levels fair. So we might both be at the same score level but the other person paid to power level their minis which means that truly no matter what I do I have no hope of winning and therefore no hope of progressing.
The game stops being fun when you have no hope of winning against other ppl regardless of skill and when progression outside of PvP is so slow as to be non-existent.
Conclusion: Fun game at first, but unless you want to pay you will eventually hit a wall that takes all the joy out of the game

Horrible New Player Experience
I logged into a new account today. I’ve played since launch and have a max level (51) account and wanted to try it again from scratch. So I made a new account and I beat the first level.. can’t collect the gold reward. Tried the second sane thing cannot collect the gold rewards. I complete the first zone and after defeating Hogger I was able to select a new mini but still could not collect the gold from the first 4. After selecting the mini it also leveled me to level 2 for the account which it said it was giving a gold reward. The game gave me an error pop up window and yet again no gold.
How is a new player supposed to buy minis from the GRID and advance in the game without the gold. I’m not opening my wallet again on this new account when the game clearly is cheating me out of 170g at level 2.
I already cannot collect the gold from completing the heroic campaign on my main account. This must be the sign I was looking for to move on from the game. Several hundred hours and several hundred dollars later I have learned my lesson.

Such a shame.
First off I’m not opposed to gatcha games. In fact I like to support them also and dolphin when they are well designed and balanced. I want to give five stars for what it could have been. But unfortunately unless you are willing to pay thousands of dollars to buff your characters up this game is pointless. The P2W format in this game favors paying players way too much. I’m not oppose to them favoring paying players, because they should in all honesty. But to what degree. This game could have been an amazing game if they balanced the pvp better. Unfortunately as a F2P you will get matched up with whales that out level you by a landslide and it destroys the fun this game could have been. Such a shame to see games that could have been great, and could have profited a ton more in the long run if they had been designed to value your F2P player or even dolphins. But this game is only for the wealthy who will get tired of it because it gets boring because they have everything already. Then the game will die out. Gatcha developers need to learn how to value the F2P because they are a majority of the community and what keep the paying players actually into the game if they keep it competitive. Final Fantasy WOTV so far seems to have done the best job of balancing F2P with P2P. RIP Warcraft Rumble, you could have been great.

100% Pay to Win in later levels
Most of the good reviews are from folks that did not get to later levels. Albeit it’s a great game at start but then it’s just gets ridiculous fast. Ex. A blackrock level starts with 24 coins worth of minis already on the board for AI. Another near undercity starts out with around 18 coins of mini on the board. Not to mention both start the board 4 levels above me. Only way to level? Beat new zones and areas. The only way to do that once your at the above section - you got it - the store. But what irritates me the most - let’s not make it challenging because we have folks on the payroll that have played this game to the point of being masters and make a really good go of it, but instead let’s just make it completely unbalanced so that you have to spend cash to go any farther. IMHO you can’t get any lower than that. Blizz has gone from a group of gamers that have become developers making great games to accountants that have become developers who are in it for the money and that is it. Activision actually started because developers who were gamers did not want to end up corporate machines and also wanted to get credit for their work - it was a passion then and the games reflected that. Now’s it’s an ATM - such a shame to see something so great fall so far.

Fun game. Runs poorly.
Very fun game. You can play for a very long time without having to feel like you need to buy anything. If you ever give them money go for the arclight booster (it continues to give benefits the more you play). I’ve played over a year and never felt like I was not able to play the way I want because I haven’t given money. They also do a very good job of introducing new units and adding new features.
This game runs VERY poorly. On my much older iPhone (XR) this game turns my phone into a heater. It gets extremely hot (which is just wasting battery life). This runs well on a 4th generation iPad Air. This runs incredibly poorly on an 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM. It will heat up the laptop, turn on the fans and the laptop will recognize that the cause is this silly little game. Sometimes the game will chug and the framerate will drop to single digits. Sometimes the game just doesn’t recognize clicks (as the framerate drops happen). Also on the phone the game crashes pretty often.
If the issue was ONLY that my older iPhone XR runs poorly I feel like that may be understandable. The fact that it also runs poorly on a MUCH more powerful laptop shows that they’re not putting enough effort into optimizations.

Can’t get past loading screen
This game is very fun. There is a paywall, sure, but if you love Warcraft or WoW then you can get past it. However, there is a bug that Blizzard hasn’t addressed with iOS version of this game. The bug is you get stuck at the initial loading screen of the game and it loops the loading screen back to back. It’ll load, get to 100%, then go back to loading the game from the beginning, as if you reopened the app or something. I have the latest version of iOS, as well as the latest version of Warcraft Rumble. I haven’t been able to play for weeks and this issue has been all over social media pages for this game, so the game developers certainly know about it and haven’t commented or addressed the issue.
ALSO, if you decide to play and can get past the loading screen…MAKE A BLIZZARD ACCOUNT AND/OR LINK WARCRAFT RUMBLE TO YOUR ACCOUNT! I haven’t had this issue, as I linked it right away. However, I have heard many nightmare stories about people having to delete the app, reinstall to fix the bug, and they lose all their months and months of daily progress, as well as losing all the hundreds or thousands of dollars they spent on the game. Nothing the game developers can do to recover your account if it’s not linked.

Recent update——
Generally, I’d be taking time to make a review somewhere between 4&5 stars based on minor issues or glitches and how well the game generally performs. A few other factors like gameplay or ability to customize decks. However, this is not that kind of review. As of the very last update the game’s stability has hit an all-time-low. At least on my end, game loads to 45% then asks to reconnect to server, proceeds to 100% then auto reconnects over and over. Server connectivity is definitely their issue, but seeing as it has been broken for the last 48+ hours, I’ll probably quit from here. I didn’t quite complete the game but got close enough lol. Blizzard successfully killed their own game much faster than they generally do. The real question is, going forward, do you even invest anything else into this game. Since the log in reliability has dropped over 90% since the start of August. The most depressing thing about this review, blizzard used to QC most patches for their games. Since becoming Activision Blizzard, I feel quality has became subpar at best.

I love the game I just hate the frequent issues
Right now, I got to open the app and it goes to the first load screen then a download screen, which should then lead to the game opening up… nope back to the first load screen then the second and and endless loop… it has happened twice now in just the last couple of weeks. There’s also a lot of bugs with the recent update and the quests for the dark moon faire. Which is a special event. They don’t register you completing them, the don’t count kills when it supposed to and it is just frustrating. They did start raids recently but I refuse to do a whole lot of research to figure out what leader and minis I need to kill certain bosses. If I wanted to do that kinda thing I would just turn my WoW account back on after all this time away, that could be fun, but I’ve got other stuff irl I need to do instead. This game was my little something to do during a short bit of down time. Fix the game so no more bugs or special research needed to do raids and I’ll give a 5

A voracious trap
This game is one of the most heinous examples of predatory micro transactions I’ve ever played. The gameplay and progression is very fun in the beginning, and then it slows down to almost a dead halt. I spent a stupid amount of money to try and make up for the loss the feeling of progression, only to get to the point that I realized that the game isn’t actually fun, it’s the progression system that’s fun. The game had potential, but seriously, stay away. I have never put so much money into a game to play it for such a short amount of time. Go play Final Fantasy intergrade. They have a free version of this game, in the game that honestly has more depth. You’ll probably spend less money buying that game than you were playing this one anyway. Don’t think this game has long-term potential more so than that one, there is no long-term potential in this game currently, other than getting you to spend every dollar you can level up every minion to play a dungeon at the end of the game, one dungeon, and there’s not a whole lot to get out of it. That’s it. Disgusting, honestly.

Bogged down by odd issues
The actual moment to moment game play is very well done, there’s a lot of levels and I’m only like halfway through. I’ve been playing almost every day for 2 months. The unit abilities are cool and still not overwhelming.
You cannot play this game offline at all! So if you want to do campaign in spotty cell service it’s not even worth trying. I don’t see why some parts of the game aren’t available offline. (Also I’ve run into some unit movement bugs which will kill an attempt on a mission which is just a bummer).
Additionally the difficulty curve is not steady at all. I beat every mission in 1-2 tries for the first 45ish missions, but the last 15 missions have taken longer than the double the time of the 45. It’s been a lot of grinding daily/weekly challenges to progress, which isn’t super fun, especially when I only get 1-2 levels further.
This would be fine if I could play PvP but my characters are significantly under the level cap, so in 80% of matches I get crushed, even if I have better strategies. I don’t get why the levels are not more equalized for PvP, especially because it would help fill in the gaps so I could actually complete the campaign missions.
If you’re looking to invest a significant amount of time Im sure there are games that have more quality of life features, and more equal PvP experiences. The game isn’t bad but isn’t as high quality as it easily could be.

Do not get this game unless you love spending money.
I’ve had this game roughly since launch and I would absolutely not recommend it. The game seems flashy and fun at times, and it’s exciting to win, but the more you play, the less you win, and by wider and wider margins. The AI opponents in this game are overwhelmingly difficult, even when you’ve played a long time. Strategy completely goes out the window when the game sends endless waves of enemies at you (Blizzard claims the AI has the same amount of money you do, but with five seconds of observing the game, you’ll see the AI has a limitless gold supply). The game starts out feeling a bit like a puzzle game, finding the best strategies to beat bosses and work around other players in PvP. But this drops off after a certain point and players are actually punished both for trying new teams and for sticking to their reliable teams. The game constantly gives you incentives to spend money, and I’m sad to say that I’ve spent a fair bit on this game. It seems exciting, getting that dopamine hit of leveling a leader or unlocking a new mini…until you realize that leveling up one character just makes the entire game harder across the board. Like I said earlier, this game wants players to spend money, but punishes them for getting better. I would never, ever recommend this game, based on this alone.

Fun but needs fixing
Ive been playing the game every day for a few months now and its very enjoyable but all the technical issues have begun to ruin it. I play on the phone and Mac and the guild chat does not work on the Mac except for emojis so I have to switch back and forth to communicate for guild events like raids/siege. The new raids have been great and Ive worked to level up teams and characters that are useful but now the guild invites are not working so I spend 30-60 minutes a day waiting to see if I can see any invites to join a siege/raid. This 5 minute battle game (as advertized) has become 30 minutes of waiting a day and it was always hard to be availble for 2 person modes when people are expecting to get on and off in 5 minutes. Very disappointing. Raids are a poorly thought out game mode. Individuals should be able to log in and do their part on a raid boss and not have to wait for others to be on. Please fix, I love the Warcraft universe and this was supposed to be a fun fast game.

Blizzard just trying to make as much money as possible
The game is completely pay to win for the normal person. You can’t not play this game competitively and have the game balanced. I played a COMP GAME and the other players towers had a whole extra level on me! HOW IS THAT BALANCED. You have to either played a ludicrous amount or pay a crazy amount to unlock the talents for all your guys. I qued for a ranked comp game the other player was a higher level then me??????? How is that even make sense, competitive games are suppose to be balanced where the players have equal chance but if you don’t have anything unlocked you need to grind in a system that does not favor the better player. I’ve been playing since launch and still don’t have everything unlocked. The game plays great and has a lot of cool features but it’s clear this game is all about generating cash for 99% of the players. pVE is the only fun part about this game but I’m giving it a 1 star because blizzard takes your money from you unethically in this game. The shop is full of scams and overpriced level boosts. So lame. Please do better or just give me a job and I can fix your awful business model. L

Difficulty scales too fast in the early game
If you like the reverse tower defense kind of games you might like this just be warned the difficulty ramps excessively fast. I got to about level 10 and started having trouble so I decided to go back to the earlier levels to grind a bit. I was not expecting to steam roll them, but I was not expecting the very first level of the game to completely destroy me over and over. There are a lot of people who have come to enjoy it and maybe I’m just bad at this type of game. However, I personally found it very unenjoyable, and it felt akin to go to being pressure to look at the cash shop to buy power. Now even if you lose you still get some power but it is a slow trickle. It would be the kind of thing I would expect if I was mid game or later not very early on. Once more a more skilled player could probably do it easily, but I felt the difficulty ramps way too fast for someone in learning or a casual player. I would, however, be open checking in a year from now to see if anything changed.

Very fun mobile game to scratch that Warcraft itch
Been playing since thanksgiving and bought the booster and a few of the cheap packs ($40 total spent). I have a daily average of ~1 hour and it’s great. People complain about how slow it is but it’s a mobile game and you’re suppose to play it slow. Like during your lunch break or when you’re sitting on the toilet or when you’re in the parking lot of market basket and you tell your spouse that it’s super busy inside but you just wanna get away from your two toddlers. I’ve bought games for consoles and PCs for more than I’ve spent on this game and they have been significantly worse. Sure, there’s bugs. Okay, yes, whales (people that spend a lot on micro-transactions) ruin your PvP experience, but that doesn’t happen unless you’re good at PvP and over 3k rated. Also, PvP is like 1/4 the game. The campaign is great and the dungeons are great. Except the second boss of Gnomeregan, god, electrocutioner 6000 is a see you next Tuesday. I do not understand the mentality of people who spend money on mobile games or complain about having to spend money on mobile games. You are literally paying money to finish the game faster. Isn’t the whole point to waste time so you don’t have to think about how the awful reality is? Anyways 7/5 with rice

Could be great if it was stable
It almost pains me to write this review, because this game has so much potential for greatness. Great art direction, animation, audio, and the gameplay itself (when working) is quite fun, with much more potential for strategy than some other top-down “rush” style games.
Unfortunately, none of this matters because Warcraft Rumble is the buggiest, most crash-prone mobile game I have ever played since the dawn of the smartphone. PVP is meant to be the core of the game, but instead is an exercise in frustration. Simply trying to start a PVP match results in multiple crashes, sometimes back to the title screen, sometimes completely out of the application. If you DO manage to get into a match, and stick with it long enough to win, your reward is often another crash.
This has been the case for weeks, despite multiple patches, and with Blizzard having recently laid off over a thousand of the very people who made their games successful, I hold very little hope of this situation turning around. It’s a real shame, because some talented people put hard work into this game and it appears to have been left to die on the vine.

Great until…
I was anticipating this game quite a bit until I finally got to play it and it definitely delivered. If you are a Warcraft fan or not you will still enjoy this game a lot until. The references Blizzard does to the Warcraft universe are lovely. The battles are fun until. The game play is fun until. Now you’re probably wondering why all does untils are well here goes. You WILL get to a point where you won’t enjoy the game anymore unless you spend a lot of money. You WILL get to a point in the game where you need to spend in order to progress decently. You will get to a point in the game that you will feel stressed out if you DONT spend. This seems to be the formula for a lot of great games out there right now and it’s just become overwhelming. It’s hard to relax and enjoy the game for longer than 30 minutes although within those 30 minutes it will be fun it will funny and chaotic but the feeling that you HAVE to spend money to ENJOY the game will always be in the back of your head. Great game until… it’s not.

Pretty good game
So, whether you like Warcraft or not, it’s a fun game. It doesn’t have the complexity of some of the other strat games out there, but that’s what makes this one great. There isn’t a huge and arduous intro, and it doesn’t feel as planned as other games. The pick up and play feel is great. The difficulty ratios aren’t super fine tuned and the grind can get very grindy. I found myself getting stuck at certain places for a while with a random breakthrough that then allowed me to move forward. That might be the intent so you buy coins. But you can be successful without spending anything. I’d love to see more daily login reward and other activities to build xp or earn gold. Also, the Arclight events have been buggy since the last update. That’s your main source of good day to day. Sometimes is says an arclight is surging and nothing happens. Other times I get no notification and there’s two of them. And one day there was a bug that let you do them an unlimited amount of times. Either way, bugs aside - it’s a solid 4/5. With some rebalancing and increased things to do it’s a 5 all the way.

Just awesome!
Lok’tar!! Do yourself a favor and download this one folks! Very user and F2P friendly! I would advise paying $20 to get the permanent boost in game but otherwise you don’t have to spend to enjoy and it’s very worth it. Blizzard has always been my favorite and they really created a beautiful one here from the Warcraft universe and it will just get better from here! I’m so excited and looking forward to the glorious future! Keep up the good work! One thing I will criticize is the PVP season and rewards. It feels extremely greedy the way the current layout is. Only 5 people out of the entire player base got full rewards last season. If I can suggest anything it would be to fix pvp to make it more enjoyable and to have rewards to a bigger percentage of the player base. It’s so crazy the way it is there is zero incentive to play PvP. If that’s not fixed this game will die! Please don’t let it! Zug Zug!!!

Eh
Honestly, this game is really fun. I’ve been following the Warcraft franchise from Warcraft II and it’s fun to play with the characters I grew up with. The art is fun, graphics are good, gameplay is challenging and rewarding. My one negative point is that the pay walls to get through story mode and the vast advantage pay to play players have in PVP. One minute your playing along and the next 15 matches you play it’s zero contest. Their minis are all leveled and have multiple perks( available only if you keep paying for packs and for gold to by mini upgrades). If you can spend the money, go ahead! If your broke like most of us, honestly just play until you can’t. I’ve spent ~$50 and I might as well have not spent a dime with the progress it got me.
EDIT:
since my last post I spent another $50 on various upgrade packs, and I was doing alright in PVP and on the hard mode stages. Hit a paywall in PVE, new update comes out and PVP is immediately flooded with PTW people. This game is so fun but I cannot afford to pay to be competitive. Good luck, have fun, but I’m deleting this game.

Mindless but slightly entertaining
The game has the potential to be a fun Warcraft themed mobile game but it has some major issues. The first of which is that despite having a good foundation, it’s clear that the games design is hampered by this god awful attempt at the Free to Play monetization business model. So rather then design a FUN feature they substituted it with unnecessary incentives to buy progression mechanics.
Second is that on top of game design focus on incentivizing the player to buy gold, the level design and game mechanics aren’t well done. Level difficulty fluctuates between increasingly easy and thoughtless mini spam to literally impossible to complete levels until you level up your minis (in other words you should be buying gold to level them up).
Again, this game has the foundation to be an entertaining game you can quickly play on your phone or iPad but lacks any real strategy or game design because the real focus is to create a slot machine that naive player dump money into so that they can continue to pull the lever.

Unbalanced cash grab missing basic features
The initial experience was fun. The PvE is great compared to others of the genre. However, for joining the genre 5+ years late, it doesn’t even have basic functionality such as a match summary or replays, friendly battles, etc.
Although technically free, PvP may as well be gated behind a paywall. Your unit levels have throttled/capped levels as you progress in rank, similar to other games, in order to even the playing field at low ranks while the $$ players can rise up. However, you can pay $ for extra abilities for units, and those extra abilities are not gated by rank. The point formula for win/loss keeps most people, even cash players, at a low rank. So after you win ~5 games, you will be placed against people with full rosters of added abilities, against which there is simply no winning if you don’t also have the extra abilities. For f2p it will probably take 6+ months to get a single deck to this point.
If you are a cash player and are still interested, the PvP balance is horrendous. There are a handful of highly OP units, so every match is monotonous with highly similar decks, and deviating from the short list of OP units is a massive power loss.

Really bad
If you enjoy games that are loaded with bugs this game is for you. If you enjoy games where “progression” means almost nothing then this game is for you. Have fun grinding “quests” only to have all those quests scale with your account so that all your effort amounts to next to nothing. Pvp levels are capped at level 1. Honestly there is no point in leveling anything up in this game, your only reward will be more grinding in the same zones to level the same characters only to have everything scale with your level anyway. There is no point in this game. Its repetitive, and no amount of time or effort or even money for that matter will ever get you actually anywhere in the game. Its fun at first, give it a play through, but it is buggy, the pathing is shoddy at best, but the first time you play a zone or level it can be fun, by the 20th time in that zone it gets old. The only reward for beating a new zone is that it gets added into the pool for quests that scale with your level anyways. I gave it a solid try, but it just has no lasting enjoyment at all. Uninstalled before the first season ended.

Money grab
Played for a month. Was fun, then hit the talked about impassible wall. It’s designed to beat you down so you’ll open you’re wallet. I don’t mind micro transactions, if they make sense. This is just fleecing people. You get to certain encounters with an army you like, then have to switch armies to something you may not be playing because it will do better in that particular fight. Problem is those minis are so low level that you’ll spend another month to get them on the level, even with buying xp. PvP will match you with players completely out of your league (on purpose it seems), to give you a beat down, again so you’ll spend money. No explanations of boss mechanics, you think your on your way to a win and be completely wiped because of a surprise mechanic or ability. Rewards for just playing are so minimal it may as well not be there. Thursdays and Sundays are the only time you can earn real gold. Guild rewards are easily earned in about two weeks and then there’s nothing to do or work for. Overall, the gameplay is fun, but the progress grind is incredibly frustrating and debilitating. The way to win, it seems, is to just be 2-3 levels above the bosses. And even that’s hard to do, even with buying xp.

Working better! Needs more competitive PvP
If they added global exp from mini (mobs) trading and changed the way chests drop items: gold/exp and added a boss middle which gave a buff +gold and changed the position of towers or requirements on tower order like other moba game so people actually contested them this game could be fit for ESports arena. I’d also love to see a 2v2 and 3v3 competitive more with more objectives and towers that can manage big pushes you’d see this game spike for a lot of players looking to jump away from league. This game is simple right now which makes it fun but so was LoL at first and as it got better and the content became more advanced yet simple the game took over. This game needs to advance strategically because atm you just rush right side and drop unbound for gold points and everyone is using the same mobs isolating the meta to very few minis. You need to create reason for other minis to shine and objectives and power dynamics helps with balancing. Game has the potential to be amazing as long as blizzard pulls back on this horrible pay wall opens it up to free to play and focuses on map and character skins vs. A horrible pay wall! WARNING: pay wall is very bad!!!

Decent player review
I used to play Clash Royale but fell behind because I did not pay to win, and Rumble seems to be heading in that same route only worse. I have played a lot and got to the Plague lands in the 60s with a collection level of 19 and I just can’t seem to push further. There are at least 5 different cash grab packs at any given time and the amount of EXP you gain is abysmal.
You get to unlock three talents for each of your minis and I eventually found that only one talent is active at a time. This game is already extremely difficult, the AI cheats and gains more gold than you do passively. Most games I control the entire board with every gold mine and chest under my control and yet the AI still pushes out more minis than me.
I really wanted to enjoy this game, and I even remember Blizzard promoting CO-OP for this game early in its development, but I guess just like Overwatch 2, they scuffed that mechanic for more money instead. Overall if you want a game like this I’d say steer clear from Rumble, it is an obvious cash grab.

Fun game but needs some fixes
The game is a lot of fun and definitely has potential. The minis are good, the gameplay is fun and gives me back days when crash royal was fun. I’ll keep playing for sure. It’s a new game so balance will still be added to some minis.
However, there are glaring problems that need to be fixed. Blizzard continues to have lag and game crashes in this game just like Diablo 4. Their team in charge of those features cannot get it right. The last thing that needs to change is how the PVE AI play their troops. There isn’t strategy on the pve side. They just have no gold restraints and can have up to 50 gold on the board while you have 10. Most levels you start against about 20 gold on the board. Blizzard is almost a requirement due to the amount of troops they can throw on the board just to kill most of them off. It would be more fun to also limit the AI gold and give them better strategy. If they don’t fix this the game will die for anyone playing the PVE aspect. At about 40 digits this becomes a huge problem.

Decent gameplay, pay to win model
I played the game for a few hours. The gameplay is just alright. I’m sure there are more engaging team combinations once you’ve unlocked more minis, but if after three hours it starts to feel like a grind, then it’s not very enjoyable. After these three hours, I was offered a pack for $4.99 that would give me 3x as much gold as I had earned during my playtime. It instantly made me feel like I had wasted my time playing at all, since all I would need to do is spend less than I would for a coffee and have a ton of gold. It made me think of how much I make hourly at my job and equate that to playing the game. If I make say 300 gold per hour and a pack for $5 is 1500 gold. Then I’m basically making $1 an hour in gold in this game. And I’m not complaining about the price of the pack, or the amount of gold you earn in game. I’m annoyed that while playing a video gam, it makes me think of real life working and has me drawing parallels at all. I wish more people would take a harder stance on micro transactions in games, because I know most people would choose for them to not exist given the option. Yet people still rate games that have them 4.8 stars and spend their hard earned money for a fleeting sense of superiority.

Exceptionally mid tier
I had high hopes for this game. I’ve been playing Clash Royale since it came out and I’ve been looking for something to replace it. I thought this game would be it but unfortunately it is not. From the get go it barely piqued my interest and I felt I had to power through the tutorial. Barely any explanation as to how counters work or what the card types are. You pretty much just keep spamming cards until someone spams more. The only level of strategy is the miner you put out to get more gold in order to out spam your opponent. Personal gripe here that I can’t see the whole battlefield at once and have to constantly keep scrolling around, makes hard to really anticipate and play your opponent. Game loop is this; place a troop, scroll up to see enemy, oh they played a card in this lane, scroll down, place my card in that same lane to fight their card, scroll up, oh they placed another card in another lane, scroll down, place a card in that lane, repeat this process for the next 3 minutes until someone wins. The other sad part is that I’m early on and I can already see how the micro transactions will only get worse the longer you play. The game is quick to shove a bunch of progression at you at the beginning to make you feel good but that will wear off and the real progress will rely on how much you’re willing to pay. The game is still on my phone but each time I open it I lose all motivation to play.

Fun but becomes P2W
It’s a great game at first. I progressed through it and had fun playing. You get to a point where you get stuck in the campaign because of difficulty and have to level up your minis, either through xp or star power. Leveling up through xp requires the grind of quests which is basically redoing levels you’ve already done before. Gets tedious, repetitive, and annoying for such little xp gain. The other way to improve is leveling up star power through the shop. This costs gold. And the game loves gold and does not want to give you any. You get some from the campaign but when you get stuck in the campaign, there’s no other gold resource except paying money to get gold. So basically you get to a point where you either grind endlessly on the same levels over and over or spend money to rank up minis. It was fun until I got to this point, but since I don’t want to do either of these things, I stopped playing. The game really needs to provide some type of regular gold generation.

Unfair AI and bland pvp
Ontop of insta-countering player actions, the AI also starts off maps with scathing advantages. To the point that you need to be atleast 2 levels higher in order to even put up a fight. And even if you are staying in with more base hp than the AI, the match times out to a ‘draw’ (loss) very rapidly. Gold makes such a ridiculous difference in pvp too that getting even 1 or 2 more gold than the other player very quickly spirals into an unrecoverable pubstomp. All my wins correlate. All my losses correlate. At that point it’s no longer playing for objectives but rather who can kill the enemy miners more efficiently.
Also it’s p2w. The reviews saying it isn’t are blatant lies. What it isn’t, is “exclusive content” from payments- although you “can” get everything in those packs f2p at some point… it’s months and months later based on the content available. The game limits your gold gains and the only way to obtain any past first clears of story mode is the arclight events… 400g total per week. Oh wow. So amazing. When i can buy a 15$ pack for a Rare quality leader that would other wise be a 3 month long grindfest MINIMUM… yeah totally not p2w… oh and sylvanas (the 15$ rare pack leader) singlehandedly obliterates everything in pvp btw so totally balanced. Doesnt even NEED support units.

Still early
I’ve been looking for a game like this! It’s like Clash Royale, hearthstone, and command&conquer had a baby🥹. Purely talking about the game, it’s excellent. I enjoy playing it… maybe a little too much 🤷🏻♂️. BUT there are some issues I’ve experienced so far. I’m very aware that this game is brand new and just came out, so I’m not holding it against the Devs, but there have been quite a few crashes mid PvP battles, dungeon excursions, and during the campaign; with that said, it's gradually getting better I’ve noticed. The Biggest🔴 issue was that I purchased a loot pack from the in-game store and received nothing but was still charged😅. I’ve contacted support, and they seem to be actively helping, which is good, but after talking with them, I received the Gold💰but not the troop packs that the bundle advertised, which is a bummer and odd. Other than those issues, I love the game so far and will continue playing as I’m a Hearthstone player and enjoy a different way to interact with the characters I’ve been using for years now.

Pay 2 win garbage
The game is pay-to-win garbage like usual. You'll enjoy winning automatically no matter what combination of characters you choose for the first 12 hours of gameplay in order to simulate that you're doing well. Afterwards, you will get into the basic PvE gameplay where you will, on some matches, no matter what you do, no matter how you try, you will lose 20 times in a row to simulate difficulty. It's all a facade to get you to try to pay money. In the end, the money doesn't do anything. What you're paying for is trying to get higher levels, which then gives you further access to the PvE map, but you don't ultimately gain anything in this game. The game is a full waste of time.
Said you’ll be stuck in the usual spot of herod like all their games unless you have levels on your characters which is a giant maze of boring… dont waste a cent if you play… ull only contribute to more junk rip offs..

Contemporary with Classic Warcraft Goodness
I’ve been a Warcraft fan for many years. Though I enjoyed WoW for a few years, WoW kind of bummed me out since the game existence basically meant there wouldn’t be a WC4. This game is no WC4, but it does feel a bit like classic Warcraft with a modern twist, which I am enjoying immensely. It’s the next best thing to WC4 if not better (although a new story would be cool, but I understand that would be problematic with WoW) I love that two-headed ogre mages are back on the Horde! My only complaint is that the final tower is very anticlimactic. I wish the main towers were castle/ fortresses to be more in line with classic Warcraft and showcase the importance of protecting the structure. Or if the final tower was a selectable boss, like the bosses in the pve campaign , that would be super cool and add more customization. Also one-eyed Willy (the WoW pet companion) mini needs to be added. HUGE miss ;) Anyhoo, lots of pve and fun competitive pvp with Warcraft characters in their classic format. I’m digging this game a lot.

Legitimately Good
I don’t like mobile games. I actually wish I could play this on my pc. I try mobile games all the time because of their convenience, but never stick with them. I just don’t like playing games on my phone for a number of reasons that I won’t get into.
This game, however, is very good. I’m not very good at it yet, as I’m getting used to its more unique nuances compared to similar games, but I’m always able to eventually pass a mission I get stuck on without having to spend money or grind for hours. It’s fun to play, it’s quick, and it’s adorable. The perks in other games from it are appreciated as always. Nice work, Blizz.
I do get stuck on 50% loading sometimes when launching. It’s usually bypassed by forcing an update check in the App Store or restarting my phone, but it would be super cool if that got fixed soon. Otherwise the connection seems to be pretty good. I’ve only disconnected while on reliable wi-fi maybe twice over the last couple days. It doesn’t seem to be able to hold a connection to the servers if another app has taken priority for more than maybe 30 seconds, but I’m pretty sure that’s just the phone.

Rumble on!
Really fun game right from the start. Easy for all ages yet has enough depth to become very competitive. I love building teams while also being able to choose and unlock known heroes throughout the Warcraft universe. I think the pace of the game is fun so far and the mechanics on each map help spice things up. It’s a breath of fresh air to play this mobile game and I’m sure some will try and compare to “Clash Royal” but this game is really on it’s own level. The sound effects, music, and interfaces are all FLAWLESS. It’s what you would expect from Blizzard and more. I am really looking forward to dungeons, raids, and PvP. I hope they expand upon these modes and build progression systems that have depth and strategy to them. I also hope they add more customization to the teams you build. Overall this is a fantastic game that anyone can enjoy. You don’t need to know everything about World of Warcraft to get started. However, having played WoW makes it all that much better!! Familiar characters, areas, and abilities in a brand new incredible game that is filled with action and mechanics that keep you interested in what’s going to happen next. Highly recommend this game.

Fort condor for wow
Warcraft rumble is awesome! It got strategy, epic gameplay, and gnomes!!! If gnomes arent your thing it has other fantasy creatures like orcs, gryphons and trolls oh my! Better than a sidescroller, this game lets you level your game pieces and it has a chesslike feel with gold miners that are like pawns and ground troops like armored soldiers and other fighter classes similar to bishops, flying gnome kamikaze troops like knights and you can even get characters like the archmage jaina or the orc overlord grommash that are more powerful troops that are similar to queens. It has a kind of reverse tower defense feel although you can get towers so its like a tower offense and defense game with both sides pumping out troops and manning the artillery!!!! I love this game and can forsee playing it regularly. I also like how it has ingame bonuses to allow free to play people to keep up even if they dont buy items or troops from the store.

WOW WOW WOW! I’m Hooked!
So I’m not a Warcraft player and to be honest idk any of the characters. The last Warcraft I played on PC was the first or second title where you could pick orcs or humans and build and battle. That being said I love games like this where it’s PVP and you build your own deck or in this case minis. This game has a HUGE ADVANTAGE over other titles in this genre and that’s the STORY MODE!!! It’s so fun to just be able to play the game on story mode when you don’t wanna really play a PVP match. The minis and their designs and actions are top of the line. It’s clear Blizzard didn’t cut any corners here and it shows. I can’t wait to see what other new things are added to the game as the updates start to come in. I’ve also noticed another big thing that normally effects this genre and that’s the fact that this game is NOT A PAY2PLAY/WIN! It’s literally skill based and that’s a big plus imo. The rewards you get from story mode are more than enough to rank up your minis and be competitive in PvP mode.

Fun game, IAP issues everywhere
The game is great, it’s fun and the in app purchases where targeted don’t feel scammy or overly priced. The only real issues is the abysmal integration of in-app purchases. The game regularly crashes, or resets when the menu comes up to purchase something. I’ve purchased and not received several items and performed all expected operations (restarting phone, restarting app, reinstalling, etc) nothing has worked and Blizzard offers no support other than to tell you to do those things then auto closes to the tickets. I’d recommend the game, but suggest you do a hard pass on anything with real value in the game until they fix the issues seemingly everyone is having from Reddit to other fansites with the in-app purchases. I’m running the latest iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro Max) with iOS 17, so I’m not skimping on tech and as mentioned hundreds of others on Reddit and Twitter are mentioning the same issues across multiple device families.
