Slow, laggy, battery9%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Currently unusable on my Pixel 4XL (permanent white loading screen on boot).
★★★★★ For one thing, it is painfully slow, the computer player should not take longer than the human player, full stop.
★★★★★ Sometimes crashes or hangs indefinitely, and it can't be worked around by loading earlier save files because there is only one save file
Lost data, sync, backup8%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ A human will lose every SP game that ends in 2-5 turns, but the player always wins by the Late War.
★★★★★ Im pretty sure this game is biased towards the USA.I've played the Soviet Union for 30 games and every time the cards me and the ai opponent are given always end up favouring the USA,I even got 5 scoring cards at one…
★★★★★ I would have deleted it off my phone but I paid $8 for it.
Price and subscription7%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unfortunately had to refund, shame because the program works well on the PC and its a great game
★★★★★ Devs didn't see to test with pixel 3XL because the notch wasn't accounted for and now I can't cancel or click the back button when playing cards.
★★★★★ To be honest I want a refund
Limits, credits, locked features1%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unable to scroll around the map manually, so tried using, continent specific cameras but they get locked-in place, plus everything moves around much slower then it used to
★★★★★ When I reinstalled it onto this current one it locked me out of all the DLC I paid for.

Fun, addictive9%

23 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Wonderful game, one of the best and a lot of fun playing online with others.
★★★★★ Takes a little learning as it's a lot to do with what cards to expect later but worth it, a very fun little strategy game.
★★★★★ Its a little complicated but when you get the hang of it then its fun

Looks great4%

11 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Interface and controls are good and replayability seems high.
★★★★★ UI is simple, graphics and music are great.
★★★★★ The interface is excellent for such a complex game, Unfortunately, this app is marred by a number of bugs which have gone unfixed for a long time (the same is true of the Steam release).
Useful, it helps3%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ No useful features added (60 min games).
★★★★★ The AI is useful for learning how to play such a complex game nonetheless.
★★★★★ One nice feature is that it helps newer players learn about defcon suicide by flagging potentially game ending situations - one of the most important aspects of the game.
Accurate, great results2%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The app works well though I found the large screen of a Chromebook is more effective than the smaller android phone.
★★★★★ No problems on 6,4 inch screen, but thanks to magnifying I'm certain it works well on smaller screens as well.
★★★★★ The app is, in general, a quality implementation of the game.

★★★★★Jun 30, 2026

Just too small for a phone but perfect for a tablet. Great way to learn the game.

★★★★★Jan 6, 2026

literally every time i play the Event "Captured Nazi Scientist", the game breaks and gets stuck on "Waiting for Opponent to make decision", despite the fact that there's no decision to be made. Otherwise it's a functional enough port of the PC game, but the handful of game breaking bugs keeps it from being anything higher than 3*.

★★★★★Dec 30, 2025

No sound on Lenovo Tab M8 (Android13). Any suggestions how to fix that?

★★★★★Dec 29, 2025

Great game, but Online play is ruined since there is no (working) push notification system at all.

★★★★★Nov 23, 2025

freezes constantly never lasts more than 4 turns before crashing.

★★★★★Sep 11, 2025

10/10 Would fight with gf again over communism (this review should have been posted when we were still together in 2020).

Store description

"Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..." – President John F. Kennedy HISTORY IN THE MAKING Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over! CARD BASED EVENTS The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world! IMMERSIVE STRATEGY Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.
