Front Wars App Reviews

Reminds me a lot of Nintendos Advance Wars. Best style of game like this on the iPad. Wel worth the price. Wish they had more levels or even a second game.

Expand naval combat and skirmish mode.

If youre looking for a solid turn based war game this is it! It flawlessly ties in to different WW2 operations and campaigns. With lots of levels to win, you will be entertained for a good while before finally reaching the end. There are also many units to choose from, each with their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Leaving many good things to be had, but arguably so. For example the game has a great amount of ground and air units, however when it comes to sea combat youre left with little options. A machine gun infantry unit (.30 cal and mg34 or mg42) would be a very nice addition, as well as u boats, submarines, and destroyers. The graphics are quite amazing, giving you real time combat cut scenes that are both entertaining to watch and animated nicely as well. My biggest issue however is enemy AI, which seems to play more of a defensive role and will sometimes make strange choices, such as ignoring your infantry capturing buildings, and certain vehicle types. The German army also never seems to want to capture your headquarters to win, even if that building is severely exposed. The controls are also overall very intuitive, yet simple. My only complaint is not being able to undo movement, if you make a mistake moving one of your units, you cant change their position with a handy "confirm" button. All in all its a great game. It may have its flaws, but it doesnt take away too much fun from the overall experience. Try it out, you wont be disappointed. Sound: 8 Visuals: 9 Controls: 7 Gameplay: 6 Replay value: moderate Overall: 7.5

Please add changing cutscene background based on terrain and a fog of war mechanic

I cannot thank whoever put this on here enough!! I have been looking for this game since I first played it on gameboy as a kid! It used to be called "advance wars" but this is pretty much the same game! This is seriously my favorite game of all time! Thank you!!

Its a little pricey but it will be worth it in the long run if they make some updates that make it better like the sounds when a tank shoots. Also jeeps they shoot explosive bullets somehow lol

1st I would like to say this game is fun and I do enjoy playing. However I think it could use a little more, perhaps add 4 player with option to play against AI and a mode with shadows its pretty easy to predict what is going to happen when you can see what they are doing. Its missing a few things that made advanced war so great but its off to a great start I hope the dev continues to make this game better.

I love this game needs some work but has GREAT potential! Very addictive enjoyable anytime anywhere.

I love the fact that this game is simple to play. I don’t like the fact that it is so easy to beat, even on “hard.” Please invest in a better AI player — it’s completely dumb. Game has great potential if the AI player gets better.

I play this game solely for multiplayer as the AI is pretty dumb. Its an Advance Wars clone without the extras (CO powers, etc.). Thats fine though, playing a simplified Advance Wars multiplayer is great. Whats not great is being asked repeatedly to connect to Facebook when youre trying to select a game. Youll spend an ordinate amount of time hitting cancel before you get to select anything. Then of course if you do start a match you might be forced to play a map you didnt select. Your opponent may stop playing and the mechanisms for moving play forward are weak to non-existent. Your queue will fill up with inactive games and theres just no way to eliminate them. More rarely, youll start a game and immediately lose with no play whatsoever. So thats it in a nutshell. The basic question is do you want to play Advance Wars online or with a dumb AI, and if so, how long can you tolerate the buggy setup?

Whenever I tap unlock on the access campaign after buying it its unable to purchase it says

I wasted 3.99 on a in app purchase that dont work..

A shameless ripoff of the first "Advance Wars" game, without features like fuel consumption or CO abilities. That said, it is almost as fun. The gameplay could be fun, but could use more unit types and a create a battle mode. The WWII setting is cool, though it means the absence of units like AA missiles. It also means instead of helicopters, planes are used for transports. Its not that big of a deal, but if you think about, it doesnt make sense that a Dakota can land in a forest to take on passengers. And the USs heavy tank is actually a tank destroyer (far less armor in real life), but there really werent any U.S. heavy tanks in WWII until the last days of the European theater, so that is understandable. I also would like to see an expansion with other factions than the U.S. and Germany, like Russia, Britain, etc. The real issue with this game are the bugs: 1. The game breaking bug involves "transports" (trucks and transport planes). For some reason, the enemy AI will not attack transports, allowing you to use them to block pathways to allow you an impenetrable shield. I used this tactic very often, and only ONCE in the entire allied campaign did they attack it. 2. Additionally, infantry can capture objectives without exiting the transport. I assume this is a bug. When combined with the other transport related bug, you can often win a battle by sending a single transport with infantry to immediately capture the enemy HQ. 3. Whenever the game boots up, it says you need an update, but if you click "accept", it takes you to the store and no update can be found. This is minor, since you can just decline. 4. The online multiplayer doesnt work at all (possibly related to the update bug). The screen just flashes. This game is fun, but needs more work to make it really good.

I had so much high hopes and now the game requires 2$ for Level editor and you said itd be free I payed for the Level Editor and now I cant even use it or restore purchase :(

App immediately crashes upon opening.

Great game but it crashes every time you try to open the game.

Crashes upon opening

Crashes non stop. Freezes when u select multiplayer. Should be refunding users. This is a joke. Very disappointing.

Read the others. It is true.

This app crashes every 60 seconds or so. App closes and returns you to phone home screen. Refund? Looks like a cool game if you can fix it. When can we expect the update to fix crashes?
