HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (1.0 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026

The games are great! They are very similar to the old Avalon Hill games I began playing a shade over 60 years ago such as Tactics II, D-Day, 1914, Panzer Blitz, etc. The only problems I have are little glitches in the apps, like on my Fire tablet I can't get free gold in Burning Bridges. On my Samsung phone Pacific Fleet and Deadly Desert keep closing when I hit the button for the other sides turn. Except for these I would have given the games 5 stars.

★★★★★Aug 18, 2026

good game but for funny...

★★★★★Jul 30, 2026

3 axis mission in the 1 campaign. Bot literally spawns units instantly.

★★★★★Jul 17, 2026

I had gave it full star if it had option to play a campaign in pass and play mode and with computer . why don't they make it so . what the hell do it please

★★★★★Jul 8, 2026

I'll rate 5 star and play your 4 tactical games if you make the units turn and face there target 😉. Hope you'll gonna make that happen game developers 😊❤️
