RISK: Global Domination for Negative User Reviews

AnnoyingI love Risk the game, but the app version is frustrating and annoying. Credits take hours to renew, and when I accidentally closed the game my 20 credits were gone and I couldn’t re join my game, so I had waited 7 hours over night, only to have to wait another 2 hours just to play one game. There’s no way I can afford premium and watching the ads is tedious and slow. I want to play Risk, but this app is stupid..Version: 2.3.1

Stick to the clonesWas looking for a better AI opponent than the clone apps, but this official app is way too slow and clunky. They have managed to replicate the worst traits of the board game, but none of the charm. Disappointing..Version: 3.14

Too many cheatersThe game and gameplay is well done. I like it. There are too many people playing with two accounts at the same time. Risk should charge a few dollars instead of offering it for free. One person will play two accounts and use one of their players as a sacrificial pawn to sabotage the other main threats. This happens repeatedly in many games. I got good enough that I could often beat the two turns anyways. Sustained a master level for a long time. Many times when I feel I have encountered two players being controlled by one controller I later find that one of the players is a grandmaster and the other is a novice and/or beginner which means they are a brand new account. Whoever runs the game doesn’t seem to be able to do anything about it. You’ll tons of negative reviews online describing the same thing and you’ll find tons of you tube videos describing how to manipulate your account and cheat order to become a grandmaster. It is still possible to have fun with but it is frustrating when you play a game like this for twenty minutes to loose to a cheater..Version: 3.5.0

Messed Up DiceI’m not going to be like some people here and claim that everything is a conspiracy and the dice are no exception. However, I’ve noticed a few trends when rolling: 1. A 4v2 in the attackers favor almost always ends in the attacker losing all troops and the defender losing none, or occasionally one. 2. Attacking with 4 against another 4,5, or 6 generally results in a low casualty victory for the attacker. 3. The last very noticeable trend is that of troop battles where both sides have troops in the numbers between 10 and 15ish. When clashes like these happen between armies of similar size, the attacker usually comes out on top with just a few casualties. Again, I’m not going to claim conspiracy or anything weird or rant at what I’m sure is a relatively small team of devs to “fix the problem immediately”. I just thought I’d point out that it can be very frustrating for players and I myself have rage quit quite a few games in which this happens often. Not trying to be a toxic player but in some instances, logic would show that rolling dice in the above scenarios multiple times is extremely slim, and happens more than the odds would suggest. Hope y’all see this, and, other than this, the game is great. Just the dice taking the two stars away..Version: 2.7.1

A version only for kids!!!Animation and design for 10yo or less. It slows the game and affect visibility..Version: 1.14.46

Too many adsI cannot handle the ADS!!! Deleted the app due to ads..Version: 3.14

Constantly Crashing/disconnectingI really would enjoy this game if it weren’t for the fact that in 9/10 matches you are disconnected or removed from the game. Even in “create a game” I am thrown to the attempting to connect screen countless times and unless I select to give up reconnecting and am taken back to the main lobby there’s no way to solve it. I don’t know if this is an issue caused by the match hosts quitting mid game or not as i would not imagine that it would continue the way it does when I myself choose to “create a game”. Regardless of the cause it turns a fun and exiting game into one that is nearly unplayable..Version: 2.6.1

Unfortunate roll generationLet me start by saying that I love the game of Risk, and I play it competitively. This version is well designed and aesthetically pleasing. However, there is one fatal flaw. The roll value generation is pretty far from random and regularly puts out values that are statistical anomalies, to say the least. As someone who plays Risk regularly, this can be an incredibly frustrating occurrence. During a board game of Risk campaign, a 10A-3D battle is effectively guaranteed to be won by the attacker, but in this app, it is not unusual for this to be a loss, which is absolutely statistically possible, but the chance of that happening is roughly 1/100. I just finished a game where this happened to me 4 times, which puts the rolls well outside of statistic normality. If this could be changed to a truly random roll generation, this app would absolutely get 5 stars, but this unfortunate feature is so detrimental to gameplay, that it effectively becomes too frustrating to play. I was hoping this could be a tool to practice for my competitive gameplay, but until this feature is fixed, no one will be able to use it as such..Version: 1.16.52

Great game but cheats on ads and is showing ads even after I purchased the gameGreat game but I’ve bought it already and now it’s reverted to showing ads and trying to get me to pay again Further it cheats on ads so when you close the ad you can’t help but click the ads and visit the App Store Basically robbing me of time and also robbing their advertisers because I have no interest in the products they advertise but u would be counted as a conversion.Version: 3.14

Good until you run out of objectivesWas thoroughly enjoying this game until I reached a certain level and the rewards became more spaced apart and few. The need to keep winning games lost its appeal, now I need to get way too many points for very little in return. I think the developers have cast this aside for a while seeing as the rewards section keeps saying ‘coming soon’ . If you like playing against other people online then you may find the competition enough to keep you keen..Version: 3.7.3

Cheap unfair winsAs a strategic fan I like being able to out smart other players and learn from my mistakes. However strategy gets thrown out the window when you play this game. All you have to do is hold on to Australia and Papa New Guniea and you win automatically because, you get a resupply of troops every time it’s your turn and it multiples over time, and once you get troops every time it is your turn you put all of them on the top of the island just above Australia and when like 5 of your turns have past you have over 50+ troops and nobody can attack you. Few turns later you have over 100 troops and you can start whipping everyone out of the game I did this to all bots in game on max difficulty and I won with out breaking a sweat that’s how broken this game is, not to mention for what ever reason it crashes too much or freezes up and you can lose your in game progress because of it..Version: 1.24.67

Now ads and many updatesThe original app was mich better. Now quite often there is an update and many times it doesn’t work anymore. Also a lot of ads. App ruined for me.Version: 3.14

Can be fun… but.But, The AI will always target one player (which has been tested and proven through over 50 games worth testing, and the target was always me, why? Because I was always the highest ranked player with the best win/lose ratio). So it appears RISK makes the AI target the highest player to balance the game??? If anything I’ve had more of difficulties with AI’s than Players at this rate. This game needs to fix its AI system and make it so each player has an even chance to win based on skill/luck not because the AI targets the best player so the weakest players have a chance..Version: 3.5.1

Rampant CheatingI would have given 5 stars if it weren’t for the wide spread cheating, it really is an amazing game. Unfortunately I run into players collaborating (possibly same player on two devices) about 1/2 games. A lot of times these players don’t even bother trying to be sneaky about it, they just blatantly collaborate. I thought I would see less cheating at higher ranks but this is not the case. somehow players at master/grandmaster (highest ranks, so have had to play many games to get there) are cheating and not yet banned. The game allows you to report cheating but there is no follow up whatsoever. I reached out to the devs suggesting they implement a notification system similar to other games where if you report someone, you get a notification next time you log in following up on whether this led to a ban or not. I feel this would ease some of the frustrations players face. Unfortunately, the team did not even reply. Finally I just want to stress that when it comes to games with an online ranking system, limiting cheating should be your #1 priority but this game fails miserably at that making it nearly unplayable unless playing a friendly game with friends..Version: 2.5.3

Love it, but riddled with hackingThis is a beautiful game, well designed, enjoyable to play, and best of all, pit your wits against real opponents. *But* The developers are clearly lacking either the capability or the commitment to deal with in-game hacking, which is rife - it seems that somewhere between 25% and 50% of games are manipulated in some way, to the point where it’s a pleasure just to be outplayed by strategy rather than cheating. While some of the more blatant ‘suddenly all the troop numbers are different’ forms seem to be a thing of the past, and little tweaks have been made to deincentivise cheating, other forms are it’s still rife: inserting a glitch so your ui disappears, knocking out your otherwise solid wifi only at crucial moments, (worrying!), completely disconnecting a gam not going a player’s way, or manipulating the dice logarithms in seemingly various ways. It seems to be in waves, which suggests Hasbro does work on it, (hacking reduces temporarily when there’s an update), and it’s easy to feel cheated when other players are genuinely just good at psychology. This aside though, Hasbro seems to not really take the issue seriously, and so it utterly ruins what should be an awesome game..Version: 2.8.0

Bad UpdatesThis game is one of my favorite games to play, but after the last update it ruined how I feel about the game. I was a master rank, but after they updated it this last time I went all the way back to a novice rank. The game constantly glitched; kicking me out of the game, it would redo all of my moves that I had already made but take away all of my troops. I lost so many games in a row because of this. The developers keep worrying about adding features instead of fixing this and that is why I rate the game so low. I have spent a lot of time playing this game and have learned all the of the tricks to winning the game. I understand that I will not win every game but when these glitches keep me from winning while also knocking me down in the ranks, I do not enjoy playing it. I in fact have just become irritated because this happens every game. Also with the new update everything is just a jumbled mess and is completely unnecessary. The logos for the type of game being played is also less appealing. And with the alliances, there should be a way to communicate with your allies. This could be a separate game mode. The game is also full of cheaters and that should be worked on as well to make the game more fair. I’m more unhappy with the new update than the game itself. Because the concept is great..Version: 1.24.66

Beware of in-app purchasesI made an in-app purchase for Premium pack. It seems this is tied to the current logged in Risk user not the Apple ID as with most purchases through the App Store. I logged in correctly and purchased again but Apple refused to refund the original purchase which is very disappointing..Version: 3.9.2

Crashes often4 games in a row through 2 days, the game has crashed when I’m 3/4 through the game.Version: 1.19.56

Great but AI could be improvedThis is a fun game to play, but when playing against AI opponents it gets boring fast when all the AI’s seem to have a clear preference to attack the real player rather than each other or pursue a normal strategy. The whole point of the game is to anticipate the opponents next move, which can’t happen. Also, the probabilities on the ‘balanced blitz’ are clearly wrong - attacking with 80% chance of success fail in waaaay more than 20% of the time for the real player, but the AIs seem to win most of the time even when their probability is 4% or 16% chance. I’ve even lost a territory when the AI had a 0% chance. It is clearly not a random chance roll with an accurate statement of probabilities, which makes the game a bit pointless if the only way it makes the game more challenging is to rig what should be unbiased dice rolls..Version: 2.5.3

Can’t believe the difference in ads across platformsThe number of ads I’ve been forced to watch on the iPhone version is insane compared to the PC or iPad versions to the point I’ve deleted the game on my phone. I don’t mind the odd add to support you guys but collecting the daily - ad, check the store- ad check my profile or settings another ad. Kind of expect ads between games but far out ad overkill. Great game but I can’t do that many ads..Version: 3.7.3

I’m sorry, what?!Listen here, like other people have been saying, change the alliance mechanic. I literally just played a game and had an alliance with someone - 2 people to be exact - and one of them started attacking me without breaking the alliance. How does this prove my point? Alliances aren’t even meant to be allowed to attack each other! Did you forget to do that when programming the game? Every game I have an alliance, I lose quickly due the lack of rules set in place for alliances. You need to make it so no attacking your alliance and when you break up the alliance, can’t attack previous alliance members thus that people can get prepared for an attack. Honestly, please sort this! It’s a major issue..Version: 1.25.69

Good game, awfully managedHave loved Risk since I was young, so obviously I’m predisposed to love this game. However, despite my best efforts to put some time into it and learn the idiosyncrasies of this developers version, I have had to accept that the game is either poorly designed or poorly managed because there is blatant hacking/collaboration on the online games, meaning that it’s impossible to enjoy the game. I get that it’s called “risk” and chance plays its part, but play enough online games and it becomes obvious there are problems: players illogically sacrificing themselves to the obvious benefit of another player is a big one that just ruins the game. I developers could fix this, because otherwise it’s a fun app. It’s a real shame, such a waste..Version: 3.7.3

Enemies gaining my troops through glitches?!I’m a relatively new player of this mobile app, I love the original board game and I bought the game to play it with my friends online. However. After a couple of days I soon discovered that there is a major system problem that has resulted in this really low rating. I’ve found that when I’m attacking with my troops (especially with the higher number of them like in the 30’s) they will somehow then become the opposing colour! As a result I’ll lose multiple games due to losing a significant number of my troops due to a glitch. The most appalling part is that I actually bought the premium package and this glitch has only just popped up since I bought it. It mostly happens when the connection is bad and I’m attacking. Please sort this out as it’s really ruining my experience of a game I already love..Version: 1.19.55

The board game classic - almostAt least as good as the board game except be aware that long games can suddenly disconnect and may not reconnect which is annoying as you can imagine! So that bombshell means 3 stars until they can make it more reliable. I’m updating this review to say that games seem to be more stable now... however, I have my doubts about consistent ‘luck’ with the dice sometimes - even though it claims to be 16% for each number. Also, during a recent game where two players were collaborating for the entire game (even though it made total sense to attack each other), I reported it but when the game ended it stopped me from completing my report. This needs to be changed if SMG cares about cheating. Otherwise, it’s frustratingly addictive. UPDATE - have reduced stars because new version means there isn’t time to see what the setup of a game is before it gets filled up and you can no longer join a game. The number of times I’ve had to choose quickly and it’s a set-up (with gimmicky rules) that I don’t want, so annoying. Then if you drop out it affects your status. This is really bad and I’m fed up with it. Needs to change urgently..Version: 3.0

So close but no cigarThis has potential to be the best version of online risk but it needs better AI and multiplayer connection bugs need to be worked out. Also I’m not convinced the battle odds work correctly it seems that using blitz greatly improves the chance of winning when on offence..Version: 1.20.60

Dice being rigged & adsThis game isn’t random at ALL it is just rigged for the people then let’s then win almost anything with ease and the people that got left behind just have to deal with it here is a little story I got a garbage start and then worked my way up and as soon as I got slight success the tearing my army up twice I faced a 2 with a 6 and twice they failed and died then I attacked a 7 with a 20 and lost 14 troops and then attacked a 10 with a 20 and lost 2 then the enemy came in with a 8 against a 19 and win only losing 2 troops and destroyed my game I am better than the average player and it is infuriating to work up and out play everyone then once you start winning to have the dice start to totally mess you up and several other people have said the same thing and the developers even put in a chat saying and I quote “the dice hate me” they acknowledge the dice issue but they only put a chat in and not actually fix the problem. Also there are ads like every time I click out then go back into the online to reload the games. Also I think it’s a bad idea to make people wait to play your game because then you are missing out on ad money and also in app purchases and yes they make you pay for infinite tokens (which are the things you need to play games)..Version: 2.8.0

AISo I have a quarrel with this game. Theoretically it’s great due to the board game being a huge hit and being fun with friends, but the AI is all wrong. I’ve been testing it on all difficulties and it seems too easy all the way up to the hardest difficulty, until the AI realised that the player is doing too well. I have seen on too many occasions when an AI nearly has a whole continent but instead of taking the last 1 or 2 places, it jumps ship over to a random continent where the human player resides, seemingly just to screw them over. Now this isn’t smart AI, as the AI isn’t playing strategically or defensively, it’s basically sacrificing itself and all its hard work ok their continent, just to slow down or ruin the players game. I have even seen when the human player places a large amount of units (say 10) on the border to stop this happening, and the AI has the option to take an enemy out with odds as great as 10-1, but instead goes at the human player, where the odds would be 9-10 with a great chance of failure, just because the difficulty is set higher. Other than that, playing other people is good fun, but the AI really needs some work, as there isn’t much difference between the easiest difficulty and the hardest besides one or two poorly designed features and decisions the AI make..Version: 2.7.1

Game is incredibly buggy!Every game I play recently since the update has been so glitchy! The game won’t let me place troops upon my turn, the game will glitch out and look at the map from a weird angle, and most of all I always lose connection or it says the host has cancelled the game, and I lag out and have a lose counted against my stats… Also don’t like how you can’t see other players stats anymore… Wanting to refund all my purchases and delete the game at this point to be honest….Version: v3.7

Dice rollsBalanced blitz dice rolls are not balanced at all..Version: 3.14

Too many ads.I know you need to make money but you have to many ads and it’s not enjoyable to play.Version: 2.7.1

This Game Is BrokenThis game has taken years off my life through rage. The amount of times I have watched my armies be cut down by the enemy AI’s forces that are less then half or even a quarter of their size, without even a single enemy casualty, is uncountable. I can count on a single hand the number of times the same has happened in reverse. It doesn’t help that the animations for the avatars are infuriatingly smug whenever they win a dice roll with no casualties. The AI somehow manages to easily acquire the exact type of cards to ensure an extra 10 armies in exactly three turns, while it almost always takes me four or five turns to get a merely playable hand. I have honestly shocked myself with the amount of vitriolic thoughts that have passed unbidden through my mind when I play this game. This game is absolutely broken. EDIT: The AI is also completely stupid in general. I just played a game of Capital Conquest against an “Expert” AI and managed to capture his capital in under three turns. The AI made no effort to recapture it despite having two turns to do so, and thus immediately lost the game when the gamemode went into effect. This game is awful..Version: 3.0.3

Odds are unfair.Dice are unrealistic. Every game I find the defence has a more likely chance to consistently roll one high 5 or a 6. Its so constant to the point I cant even enjoy the game anymore. Please fix the true random odds :).Version: 2.8.0

Complete luckIts a luck based game, no strategy whatsover.Version: 2.6.1

What a shameI’ve been using playing this game for years, but it’s getting unplayable now, there are so many hackers and cheats. It’s become so frustrating and pointless to play. I am uninstalling it, it’s just a big waste of time now. Update: To respond to your question, I have flagged up many instances when I have been concerned of this during a game. I received one reply saying that the member had been given a fair play warning or something. I haven’t heard back from any of the others but they were all very similar concerns. The main type that I see are focused around speed of movement within a turn. A player will be able to move unnaturally quickly between attacks thus giving them a huge advantage. I have also had my ability to attack just before my finishing moves blocked. All other game controls working perfectly, giving me no option but to end the game and giving them victory. There are other less common scenarios but these two happen frustratingly often..Version: 2.8.0

Needs to be fixedGame keeps crashing and I watched an ad to get tokens and instead of giving me tokens it took them away :(.Version: 1.25.75.515

Great game but too many bugsLove the game but the amount of times there are issues that prevent game play is frustrating . Hard to play when you can’t be confident you will get a whole game in ..Version: 3.11.1

SO MANY HACKS. Read my review to help become aware when you are being cheated.Game is super fun, but there are so many CHEATERS it seems that I can’t give this game more than 2 stars until the problems are fixed. At first I never realized it, because I didn’t know what to look for, but the biggest FLAW I see is when you can’t see your opponents territories. About 4-8 moves into the game, an opponent will begin to regularly get about 20-28 troops. Sure it seems harmless and could just be that they own territories that give them troop bonuses. However, all it takes to expose this FLAW is to amass a huge army and plow through the whole map to get vision of the suspected CHEATER, then when you see with your own eyes how little territories they own with no troop bonuses coming their way, they all of a sudden receive 25 troops. This has happened to me 7 times so far since I became aware of this HACK and was able to survive long enough in game to expose them (common sense tells me this happens way more than the ones I’ve caught). RISK creators need to fix this ASAP. Game is unplayable when up against this HACK..Version: 3.3.2

Pls FixWill rate 5 star when you fix it when let’s say you have a territory with 6 troops an someone with a territory with a single troop defeats you. If get that it is based of random but come on..Version: 1.22.63

What’s with the card set screen?I just downloaded this game because I’ve enjoyed the board game for years. It’s only my first round of classic and I have five cards. Two soldiers, two horses, and one tank. One of my soldier cards has a +2 on it because I control that territory. Whenever I go to the screen to see my cards, it tries to use one soldier, one horse, and one tank card because that’s all I can trade in. However, the game insists that I use the soldier card which does not have the +2 bonus. So I tap the soldier card without the +2 so I can get it out of the slot and replace it with the card with the +2 bonus. Then, when I tapped the card, nothing happened. So then I decide to tap the soldier card with the +2 bonus, in hopes of it switching places with the other soldier card. But then... the selected horse card gets removed from its slot. Wait, what? What’s going on? Now I decide to spam every card, hoping to get the +2 bonus into the slot. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get the +2 bonus card into the slot. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or what, but the card selection screen needs to be fixed in my opinion. 🙄.Version: 2.2.1

Game scoring needs transparencyOkay. So it may take up to 24 hours to score your game. So if you play 5 games in a day you won’t know from which game your scores are going up or down. You will never know how much you win on the matches you win. And how much you lose on the matches you lose. For example, you win a game in 10 minutes, and lose a game within 10 minutes also. But your score isn’t changed yet… So you play another game that lasts for 75 minutes. When you exit your score has now changed. Okay so what caused what? And do you even know if the just finished 3rd game was factored? No you don’t. You will also never know if you are barely gaining vs novices, or a slight gain. If you knew this you could actually determine a minimum rank for your games. This game needs a game history, not that dang hard. Time of game, win/loss, maybe position of finish, and the plus or subtraction at the end of game. Even if it’s delayed How helpful! Would be good to know if I lost 600 points in 3rd position vs losing 250 points in 2nd. Even position in losses have to be managed for ranking. How many players in the game when I gained the most. How many when I lost the most. Anyway leaving the 1 star review till they make this much needed update. They are wrong on this issue..Version: 3.12.2

CrashesJust crashes. I love strategy games... when you can OPEN THEM! I’m on an IPhone 8, I’ve deleted and re-downloaded the app multiple times, and nothing helps..Version: 2.5.1

Risk Review (premium version)Greatly executed digital version of the classic board game. Only disappointing factor is the lack of major differences after paying 20 dollars for the premium service. Unlimited coins yes but still a daily cap set on reward points. Would be good to receive more for your money. Overall though, game play is seem-less and fun. Good game to master and spend hours on!.Version: 3.14

Complain enough and they leave you alone.2023: update not in App Store. Looks like a phishing scheme. They say give us you personal data so you can play safer? Quite the opposite. 2022 review: The game was unfairly rigged against normal single player play & forced me to see ads. But if I play on stupid level & complain in reviews regularly enough they leave me alone. Hit replay every game. No ads and it’s mostly like playing against idiot AI’s that occasionally become geniuses. Get to play about 10 games a day AD FREE & when they start to screw me, I take a break & later it gets stupid again. 5 stars because I can avoid cheaters AND advertisers. Perfect. 2021 review: … when I turn it down to stupid level it still beats me 10% of the time. The purpose of this game is to sell ads. Skill, competition, reality? Don’t expect to encounter them here. No matter how well I play, it HAS to beat me 10% of the time. Tell me that is a legitimate game? Minus 10 stars not being a possibility. One damned star. So I write a bad review and usually the game works better for a minute. But now you have no legitimate response so I lose game after game solo against the computer on Novice when I have been playing Risk for 55 years. Amazing you can flip a switch & make the game better or worse but you won’t just let it be better b/c that would mean less ad views..Version: 3.12.1

Too many cheats!I’ve been playing this game for a couple of years now and have a love/hate relationship with it. The design is great but the major downfall is the number of players that are collaborating - typically someone who wants to improve their ranking enters the same game as if they’re another player, using a separate device. This makes a mockery of the whole thing. It should be simple enough to ban people who do this - what is the purpose of the report feature otherwise? You could even block devices with similar IP addresses from joining the same game. Or check to see how often the same players play in the same game as this should be a giveaway. Please sort this out then I will gladly up my rating to 5 stars!.Version: 1.22.64

RollsWith the update I’m finding when I have 30 troops and they have 30 and when they attack me they only lose 5 troops. So I’ve lost 30 and they have only lost 5. It looks like with the update the game is made, unplayable for the master players and above. It only ever seems to happen to them. This needs to be fixed, it is not fun when this happens and it’s unfair. There also should be a “unsportsmanlike” report when people just attack you without wanting to win the game. Or if people leave when they know they won’t win then the bots takes over. Should be able to report these people as the game is no fun with bots..Version: 2.5.3

Use to be a good gameNot sure what’s going but lately no one seems to be playing. Maybe because of all the cheating and the devs doing nothing about it. We couldn’t confirm they’re cheating. When you bust through a wall and it’s all singles on the other side, it’s clearly people working together. On top of that you watch one guy go after certain players while his buddy is building up unlimited. Been playing for years and never seen this rampant cheating before. Devs fix the game before you lose all players..Version: 3.14

Charged incorrectly / no support / spend carefullyMy account was falsely shut down due to “cheating” with no further explanation from SMG. Repeated attempts to contact them (Over several months) were unsuccessful. The loss was under $10, however concerning and a warning to potential new customers especially younger ones with less money to spend. Best of luck!.Version: 3.3.2

Unfair Gameplay!Whoever designed this app needs to update and correct the way that battles are won and lost - probability algorithm. Don't be surprised if you lose 15 men and the other player loses none, this happens every game countless times and it's extremely unfair/frustrating. It's too hit and miss. The simulation and gameplay is not like the board game in regards to probabilities, beware. Just to prove my point, I'm considered a "master" and I've lost 11,100 troops and I've only defeated 9,577. All of my friends who play this game have said the same. Update and correct immediately! Too many games have been blown by inexplicable 1/1000 rolls..Version: 1.14.46

FrustratingI’m finding that any time I win a game, it won’t load so I can play another game. I have to turn my iPad off for it to reload. This was happening before the update and I was hoping the update would fix it. It’s fine when I lose just not when I win. Very frustrating!.Version: 2.3.2

Bugged and filled with adsThis is probably the game with the longest unskippable ads ive seen. On top of that, when i won my first game i was exited to win, but the game just kept on going even though i held literally every territories. I had to surrender the game that i won and it counted as a loss. The game even asked me to give them five stars after that😂.Version: 3.14

Annoying coin overhaulAs a player who would have rated this game a 5 a recent update has made me very annoyed. I personally have bought 5 dollars worth of maps for the game and didn’t bother too buy the 10 dollar premium edition that allowed for infinite coins (coins are used to play the game). Why? Because A you would get a coin back every 2 hours and B games only took 1/6 coins you had. Now it’s 6 coins to play a single round, I did not realise this when I played a 5 round ramble that only lasts FIVE ROUNDS instead of the usual keep on going until you win. Can’t for my next round in 12 hours.Version: 1.25.69

AverageThe game is probably suited to those who are interested in an intermediate level strategic game, although if you are interested in advanced strategic play the game is quite average (they seem to have designed the game to accommodate non-strategic players by gearing things such as dice rolls, computer player choice or the initial setup - there is a nontrivial benefit to a setup where fewer countries have a higher number of troops versus an initial setup with troops dispersed over lots of countries. Also there are lots of players whose stats seem to defy the logic of the gameplay i.e. people who win more than 40%-50% of the time despite the fact that matching those stats in a 6 player game (where chance / initial setup / dice rolls / etc are a factor) suggest that it is highly implausible (after watching a few players whose stats are that high I was surprised to see that they seem to generally roll higher numbers than would be statistically possible (despite what their dice roll stats say) and often then seem to benefit from computer player choice, both of which should not happen in a balanced game and seems to imply that it is a feature of the games design rather than some other thing). All of this seems simple enough to resolve (if the developer wanted to) although if you don’t overthink it it’s fine..Version: 3.2.1

It’s a flawed classic gameI think many people have played this game before with a board. This game looks amazing, absolutely great execution from people behind this. There is however a big flaw with this game, that was in the classic game that this is based on it’s not very a good strategy game. The world domination mode revolves around generating more units per turn than the enemies. Once established the outcome of the game is already known, the enemy can never make a comeback. And now you just have to suffer through a long stretched meaningless gameplay until the inevitable result will happen. I wish the creators would put more work into making this an actual strategy game, that would make it way more fun.Version: 3.7.3

A piece of garbageThis game, may it be called so, is completely awful. Cheating is rampant, players are rapscallions, the concept of probability is turned upside down. And the bots... it seems like a chimpanzee has written them. They are always helping the winning player rather than making the game any more entertaining for others. Almost all of the "Masters/Grandmasters" are also using another device with an alternative account to help them win every games. I highly suggest potential clients to not waste a single minute nor a penny on this fraudulent app. This is a total waste of space/time..Version: 1.14.46

Unfair bugsI have deleted this app because of repeated multiple games where users troop numbers have been consistently doubled at the end of players turns. It’s not fair on anyone and it ruins the game. I like to win or lose fairly. Seems to happen most frequently with Master or Grandmaster players...so I’m thinking that it’s either a really unfair bug...or a cheat hack. I’ve tried to raise the issue, but accessing. Any user support is almost impossible..Version: 1.19.56

Issues with earning tokens.I choose not to purchase any games, so I realize I’m limited I often I can play. But in the last day or so I’ve had multiple issues with tokens. 1. Yesterday at one point I had 62 tokens. It uses ten to play, but my tokens dropped to 50 2. Also yesterday I played and won, watched the forced ad, and got the message that I’d earned the tokens but my token value didn’t change 3. Today,usually when I open the game where the token is listed is a message about how long until the next one, with an option to watch an ad. Today, neither of those is present, and hasn’t been for hours. This means I can play 6 more times and I’m done. Frustrating. How. Am I supposed to get more tokens? Update: while I appreciate getting a developer response, it would have meant more if it appeared they actually read my comments. Is this done by a live person or a virtual assistant? It’s like they saw one word in my comments, ‘ads’ and responded to that, explaining why there are ads. I know why you have ads. My primary issue was missing tokens..Version: 3.11.0

Need smarter computersPlease make computer more challenging.Version: 1.14.46

Money grabGet a better rating if it wasn't $9 to continuously play....it's not that good.Version: 1.14.46

Could be greatI understand the need to make money, but after a fun start the the game the rate that “coins” (need 10 to play a game) are generated slows down and the max you can have drops too. Also ads before and after every game gets a bit too much. To get the full game it’ll cost $20, and there’s no way you can save enough premium coins to get any rewards..Version: 3.12.1

Bugged beyond playableWould be a good game but whenever I’m playing with my friends when can rarely get through a game without one of our games bugging out and not letting the person play, kinda sucks.Version: 3.13

Over-reliance on luck with diceI used to love this game but it has a major flaw: you can often have an overwhelmingly large force and attack a much lesser one but still be defeated by an appalling run of dice throws. This throws the game mechanics and can often destroy decent tactics in one fell swoop. It is this lack of realism which has really begun to frustrate me. Having made it to the "Master" rating, I don't think I'm completely useless at tactics, so I believe this review is valid. You don't see the same problem with the board game version. Similarly, if playing a two-player world domination game, whoever is lucky enough to go first often wins it. The second player needs to be given more than +1 troops to be given a fighting chance! This is a shame, because so much of the game is fun and exciting. But - the luck of the dice is an issue. And, ignore the "Expert" ranker on here who claims that reviews like mine suggest that we underestimate our opponent or can't predict or strategise: utter rubbish! My rank is "Master" and I'm still saying that the overriding problem with this game, is a problem so major it undermines any strategic thinking, undermines any careful assessment of your opponent: the dice rolls are often absurd! That's not a "Risk" - it's highly unfair and penalises the strategists by completely undoing any well thought-out actions, too often!.Version: 3.0.3

Unfair AdvantagesI can’t tell you how many times an opponent will attack me (either on blitz or Random dice) with less armies and constantly win. One example, I was primed to win the game and had someone backed into a corner. Their next turn up, they attacked me with their 45 troops to my 70 and I lost (I had the 70) giving them a few extra to spare!! I went on to lose and should have easily won because the third opponent now had the advantage over me. Last night...I was don’t to 3 and playing vs a master and grandmaster and was dominating once again. My opponent had two countries left and I was about to easily knock them out, collect their cards and finish off the last opponent. Instead, the guy with 2 countries left, somehow made all my armies lose with virtually no one left (on true random) leaving him to be knocked out by my opponent flipping the game over from a sure win. It’s already hard enough to win with people and computers not attacking each other and only you, then this has to happen. It seems like border line cheating. It’s a joke..Version: 3.11.1

Most likely the worst version yetJust horrendous! I’ve owned risk since I had an iPhone 4. I’ve seen pretty much all of their attempts to produce a decent version of risk, and for whatever reason they just can’t seem to get it! Is it really that hard to mimic the board game? Why do you have to make it soooooo lame? Stop reinventing the wheel, just give us an iPad version that plays like the board game with AI and online alike. That’s all, you can keep all your other dice-rolling options, campaigns, battles, and badly executed bells and whistles..Version: 3.14

Make no mistake this is a pay to win game!But it’s still fun... if you’re a glutton for punishment. Or you have the money to fork out for a premium account. As you play your first 10 games, watch as the premium players CONSISTENTLY roll better dice, and lose less soldiers compared to the rest of us cheapskates. Additionally, this often plays further to the premium players advantage, as non-premium players drop out of the game in rapid succession. Only to be replaced by BRAINDEAD AI players that avoid using logic (like the plague) and more often than not kamikaze into the nearest human player... YOU. By all means, try this game for free and you may enjoy it, at first. It won’t last long..Version: 3.1.3

Too much teamingI can’t ever have a fair match because I get teamed on. I feel like not much is done, and I waste my time building a strategy just for two people to not defend against each other. I just played a match where I realized two were teaming and I had an alliance with both, and so I told them to attack each other about three times so they knew I knew. They both broke their alliance with me, and so I tried to save the game for myself and the others players by attacking the one with the most continents, and the other one went out of their way to destroy me. Things like this makes it not fun, and I think there should be something in the chat to call out two colors teaming. I tried to get all the other players to realize which they didn’t, I guess I was just smarter lol. This is just one example of many times I’ve been teamed on. I have lost probably five games in a row due to this. Please give an option to call out collaboration in the game for the other colors to see regardless of alliances..Version: 3.1.3

Trash gameI originally wrote a constructive 4 star review for this game a couple months ago. Now I absolutely hate this game with a passion because I was de-ranked many times because of consistent bad roles that single handedly cause me to lose games. For example the most recent game I just played had a player that attacked my 16 size army with a 18 size army and only took 3 casualties while I lost all of my 16. In the same game I fight 8 against another player’s 4 and I lose all of mine. This isn’t the first time this has happened and I used to be “intermediate” rank and I’m now “beginner” because of this kind of BS. I hate the developers for making a great risk game with horrendous and unfair random dice roles. I will still happily play board game risk as this stuff very rarely happens on that but I will never play this game again until this kind of stuff is sorted out..Version: 1.17.54

Computer Play Way To EasyI have been playing RISK for a long time and I had enjoyed playing the earlier electronic RISK games by Electronic Arts. I always play against the computer players so a game can be completed during a meal. With those Electronic Arts games for iPad and iPhone, I won or lost about 50% of the time. I have played this SMG STUDIO electronic RISK game 34 times, have won 32 and my longest winning streak has been 30 games. Clearly, there is no challenge. I find the spinning of the board when attacking to be dizzying and the green arrows for, both, confirming advance and end of phase to be highly confusing. I believe my getting caught with these confusions to be the reason behind my only two losses. Even though I know of the confusing green arrows, I have not been able to adjust and have had to turn on the option to be alerted whenever I have selected the “end phase” arrow. I play as purple but this version does not allow my selecting that color as my default. My selecting purple for each new game requires cycling through nearly endless taps to change the color as the cycle is not a simple cycle through six colors..Version: 1.15.50

Not Good AnymoreI used to love this game. It truly is a well designed game. The animations are cool, and it feels like playing the real deal. However, they recently changed the game to include two things that make playing it unbearable. 1. ADS - they now show an add before and after every round you play. And the ads are LONG and glitchy. The exit button never works on the first click and always sends you to the App Store. Ads used to be once before you started playing and then you could play as many rounds as you wanted without ads. 2. TOKENS - it cost 10 tokens to play a game. You could always pay to go premium and get unlimited tokens. Despite being an annoyance when you ran out every so often, if you waited an hour you would get replenished 10 tokens and could play again. You would also get 10 tokens if you win the match. Now whether you win or wait, you only get 1 token. Meaning it would take 10 hours to play a new game if you run out. And even if you WIN the match, you end up having lost 9 tokens! It’s an ugly attempt to take your money. DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM! BOYCOTT UNTIL THEY CHANGE COURSE AND TAKE THE GAME BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS!!.Version: 3.6

So rigged *********If you’re ever going to believe a review this would be the one. The odds are so against you! Others attack you with half your units and still beat you yet you need 3 or 4x theirs to barely make a dent. 100% of the time not just a one off. So ridiculous. Not to mention the other flaws you can’t trade in your cards till the 5th one most of the time and it’s usually a 4. Others almost everytime get 12 right on the 3rd card. Why won’t they fix beats me what’s even worse is they pretend none of this actually happens 🤯. ANNNNNDDD if you ever comment or email them you will only get lame general answers nothing remotely addressing the issue you raise. It’s INSANE!!!! Ive sent hundreds of pics showing illogical attacks and their answer: oh yes the sky is blue. Lol!!! **** I guess developer there is no answer????? Hey Developer, do you actually read the reviews? Or just send random answers back? You keep deflecting why??? I have SAID I’ve sent hundreds of PROOF that you are manipulating the game. WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER TO THAT? Developer, there is proof and you lying. I filed complaints with every place. I will not stop till you address the issues enough with your lies.Version: 3.1.3

Unnecessary ChargeI was charged $11.29 for Premium Mode which I didn’t buy. Now it shows in my payment history with a pending status. Please help me resolve the issue..Version: 1.25.69

Completely pointless nowOkay so already left a review but now writing again because having paid quite a comparatively high amount I'm seriously displeased with the fact this game actually fails to work on a regular basis. I can see you have acknowledged connectivity problems although your call for help for this is extremely annoying as not only do you require an incredible amount of information and therefore, time but also added to this is the need to sign up and create an account to even send that information!!!!! frankly it's disgraceful for the price you charge, I'm not even going to list the number of problems because I'd have to write even more than I already have, sort it out or start refunding!!!!!!.Version: 1.15.50

Ads are too intrusiveLatest update just went too far with the ads. 30 sec before AND after every game. Deleted it. Before that it was a good game.Version: 2.3.1

What could’ve been a fantastic game is ruined by 1 featureThis game is alright, too many ads but that’s not the problem, it’s the card feature, it adds unnecessary luck to the gameplay. It’s not like a simple war interaction that adds tension and thought. It’s a boring, confusing at first, feature that lets people get insane amounts of soldiers in single turns. I don’t get why the developers didn’t just make it so people get more troops the further you go into the game. A big missed opportunity..Version: 2.8.0

Good game but bad designIMO Risk is a good game but it has a few major flaws. It costs 20 tokens to make an online game and 10 tokens for a single player, but you only receive 5 tokens for winning (moronic I know). If you changed it so it cost 0 tokens to play single player and cost 10 tokens to play online with a victory gaining you 15 tokens that would make more sense. The game will also make you lose battles you should have won. For example I attached a territory that contained 3 troops with a force of 5 troops and lost, I then attacked with another force of 5 troops (they had 2 left) and I lost again. Logically if you get attacked by 2 forces that outnumber you by more than 65% each you would lose undoubtedly. Also the “rank” of each player means nothing I fought a Master that played worse than every Novice I have played. I also met a Novice that played better than every Expert I have met. Another thing is the alliances are stupid and pointless. You can be allied with someone and that can still attack you WITHOUT breaking the alliance. If it was made so you can’t attack allies and you can only break an alliance during the fortify phase that would improve make more sense..Version: 1.25.75.515

Gives unfair advantage to AIAt first I loved the game but the more I played I noticed that the way it is set up it is unfair if you play the AI. For example in just one turn I took 5 against 3 and AI won they still had 3 and I had 1. In the same turn I went 9 against 5 and I lost they had 4 and I had 1. Another example is that I had all of North America, South America, Australia, and Africa and about a third of Europe, but somehow when the red AI player recruited who only had 4 European countries they somehow got almost 30 troops, but I only got 21. They could have traded in cards but even at that there is no possible way they should have come up just a couple of troops less than 30. I have also noticed numerous times that for instance I may have three sections of South America, but it will give me only 1 troop in each of those three sections and it gives one of the AI players one section, but gives them 6 troops in the one section and they will get to go before you so before you even get to make a move you lose those 3 troops and they have that continent plus because they had so many troops there they used their recruits elsewhere to take other sections as well. I have literally had times that before I got to move I was already down to about 20 troops and never had a chance because I got three recruits and by my second move I would be down to about 10 troops total left on the map..Version: 3.13

Good but not reliableThis game is a lot of fun and I appreciate them working hard to add more maps etc, but first they should really focus on stabilising the game and it’s bugs. Almost every other game I get kicked out through some disconnection and almost never can I get back in, instead taking me to the main menu, which is frustrating for ranking and because you may have been in a great position before getting kicked out of the game. Also randomly troops will he added to countries when they shouldn’t be, like when it isn’t even that players turn etc. Nice when it happens to you but otherwise frustrating. All these maps and modes are nice but if the base game doesn’t work they’re all for nothing..Version: 1.23.65

In app purchasesI redownloaded on a new phone and couldn’t get some of the maps I bought on my old one back when I restored, other than that it’s a good game.Version: 3.14

Everything is so expensiveThe game is fun, because of how I need to plan out each turn. It's a game where you need to think about every move you make. But, everything is so expensive. All customizations need so many gems to buy. You only get a few maps out of about 100 maps, most being scenarios and some being so difficult! Customization is cool, but nothing is automatically free except for profile frame colors. Usually some things will be free when you start, but this game doesn't care! Heck, I can't even change my name without signing in. However, some levels will give you a prize, such as a dice design, or a different figure for your army. Even so, leveling up takes a long time to do. Map packs are about 300 gems, and you start the game with 40. Does this game want you to play forever to get even a few coins? This game might be the most greediest game ever! I'm so disappointed with this game! It has so much potential, but everything is so expensive. So unless you want to go broke by playing a phone game, don't buy it! However, I still play the game on the 9 of 100+ maps in the game because the game is still fun..Version: 3.14

Beautiful User Interface, Terrible Dice AlgorithmThe UI is amazingly well designed and visually appealing. The various avatar options, both readily available as well as those that are purchasable, look amazing. The largest issue is with the dice algorithm on online games. While the occasional loss to a smaller army is what makes risk, risk, the consistency in this happening makes the game almost unplayable. There have been multiple times when I have consistently outnumbered an army 2:1, and have ended up with only one army left while my opponent only has one loss overall. It’s gotten to the point where, I suspect though have no proof, that the simulation will intentionally favor other players or find ways to prolong the game. Also, there is an issue with rankings. Instead of players playing to win, the second most dominant player will keep harassing the smaller players while being protected by the larger. While the second will eventually lose, they will rank up faster. It’s effectively a race to the bottom of the barrel. Anyways, besides the multiplayer options, it looks great..Version: 3.2.1

Great Game, horrible app.Way too many bugs. I have been playing Risk for over 40 years. I love the game, I use to play other online versions of the game. The design and layout as well as options is great! The reason for the one star is there are just way too many bugs. I believe I can complete a game about 50% of the time or less. Usually times out! The timing is suspect as well! Consistently suspect, so hackers have already found a cheat for the game. Somehow when your on your turn they can disconnect and make the game timeout. So if it is obvious you have the win, they can timeout the game making it void. This greatly effects the rating system. They haven’t fixed this among other bugs for years. Don’t believe they ever will. I would recommend other generic versions of the game if you want accuracy, just not as robust as this app. Way less bugs and more fair grading system by far though. Landgrab is a great alternative. There are others as well. Due to the bugs I have had to buy the game several times over, as well as the map packs. Like I said I love the game, their app is 1 star nightmare though. I hope they someday fix the bugs!!!!!!!!!.Version: 3.5.1

Keep having to delete and reinstall the app to fix crashingWould have given this game 5 stars but for the last few days it keeps crashing and refuses to load past a black screen unless I delete the whole app and reinstall it. Even then it works for a bit then the next time try to open it it refuses to load properly and crashes again … not sure if the app update caused this or iOS15 but could you look into an update to fix this problem? It looks like other people have the same problem too. The gameplay itself is great though and most of the extra maps are really good and worth getting for a change from the old classic version, so thank you to all the developers.Version: 3.3.1

DisconnectsGreat game but I keep having to forfeit matches because it disconnects and won’t let me re join my game. Hopefully this is just a bug that can be fixed with an update..Version: 1.22.63

It’s disgustingly pay to play but a great game otherwiseYou have to watch an ad before every game which is somewhat understandable but the reason for my low rating is that it takes 10 hours to generate enough tokens to play one game. If you don’t want to wait for that you have to watch 3x 1 minute+ ads or pay $25 for premium. Other than the disgusting amount of ads the game itself is fantastic, if the parent company cared slightly more about user experience over profit I would rate it 5 stars.Version: 3.13

Love the game! Hate the algorithm!I have been playing this game for a couple of months and most of the time has been enjoyable! I play a lot of the multiplayer and very little of the single player although I do have some time in it. I would like to start off by saying that this is a great game if you have extra time to spare with the average game lasting 30-60mins (although I’ve had a game last for a 3 1/2 hours once). The visuals are appealing and the gameplay simple enough. There is a good amount of players playing with AI to fill the spaces (although the AI act like a 1IQ aggressive drunk rhino). There are a few complaints I have that took this potential 5 star to a 3 star... number one is that the algorithm for dice rolling seems like it was made by a couple of high schoolers in their free time because man is it terrible. Have you ever heard of someone in actual risk losing a 8v2? A 15v4? A 30v6? A 100v3?!?!? Second is the error messages I sometimes get while trying to join games. This is often and makes me want to quit the game! Thanks for reading my feedback!.Version: 1.16.52

Worst game on the App StoreThis is by far the worst game I have ever played. I will list the reasons you should never download it below. The “random” dice rolls are so broken that you can roll your 8 dice into their 2 and lose every single roll. If I were to conduct this experiment in real life, I would be willing to bet my life that the results would be in my favour. If this were a once off anomaly, that would be one thing, but this happens in every single game. God forbid you choose blitz, then you won’t even be able to see what the outcome of each roll was, you will just have to take their word for it that your 14 dice were all lower numbers than their 3. Some of the outcomes I have seen in a couple of days of playing this game have proven that this is not in the slightest bit random. The majority of games are instant quits, solely because your troops are scattered across the map whilst the other player has been given 90% of a continent from the beginning of the game. This is if you even make it to your turn without being cleared out. In the interest of not having my Apple account removed, I won’t say what I am hoping happens to the developers. This is the worst game I have ever played and you have better luck winning the lottery than getting a fair chance of using any sort of strategy to win a game of risk..Version: 3.9.2

On thin ice because of the dicePlayed for about a day and uninstalled. Of course there is a randomly generated Di roll and this is its main flaw. You could have 9 “troops” and the bots would have 1 to 2 next to you, so you would go to attack that low Defenced country and the odds would be in their favour. Even though statistically it shouldn’t be. I even played one match, were I had attacked 5 times at different countries, and me having the more troops every time, still lost. Poorly developed. This NEEDS to be fixed, though I don’t know how you could, with the Di rolls being randomly generated You have to use tokens to play a game, you can earn them through playing which is a nice reward but not enough. Especially if you want to share device with another player and still have to use those tokens. A suggestion would be : Have it free on every mode bar the online mode. Change the di rolls to where the player spins it themselves. Where it is a physics based Di and not just luck.Version: 1.27.89.590

Truly awful interfaceA classic game utterly ruined by a cumbersome interface that gets in the way of game play. The animations and pop up windows slow down game play. This game needs to take a long hard look at ‘Lux’ and its interface and why that game works far better..Version: 1.26.82.556

I Never Give Reviews But This Has To Be SaidWhat a completely fixed game this is. To have 10 games in a row to EVERY TIME have to wait to receive 5 cards only to each time get 4 troops is both frustrating and beyond a joke. It seems like others always seem to get fantastic starting positions that I NEVER get. There’s obvious offline alliances also going on. It’s a shame that this game is so rigged to favor some over others (ones paying possibly?), meaning tactics end up having little to do with it. Even after winning a few of these games in this horrible baron run it just ruins the user experience when it’s so obviously rigged to screw you. Have to uninstall as it’s simply a horrible game experience now..Version: 3.1.3

Lose connection for a second? Enjoy forfeitingAny single time you lose connection for a split second(walk away from range of wifi or switching from data to wifi… it always says “waiting for host” but never actually brings you back. Or… “reconnect to game” doesn’t actually reconnect you to game. I use to play this daily! But since they took away the blizzard feature and hidden choices feature it sucks! Updates are suppose to make a game better not worse!.Version: 3.11.1

GlitchesGood game, It’s annoying how often there are glitches tho, because you have to leave the game and loose your tokens.Version: 2.0.12.660

To much “pay up”You have to pay for every map except the the worst map. All the good maps (Europe, America, ECT.) you have to pay for or play multiplayer. It takes to long to get tokens back. Especially if you leave because everybody attacks you even if you have an alliance. If you start auto everybody else gets the best start while all my territory’s are not connected. Progressive card bonus is rigged because you alway have to wait for the fifth card while your opponents get a progressive bonus every third turn. The dice are rigged because an opponent can just kill all your units in your bordering territory (they kill 10 of my units with 5 of theirs) then they take one territory from all my continents/empires so I get NO bonus so I can’t fight back because THEY OWN FRANCE AND BRITAIN AND I HAD OWNED AUSTRIA AND THE OTTOMANS AND GERMANY BUT BECAUSE THEY TAKE ONE TERRITORY I AM SKREWED EVEN THOUGHT WE HAD AN ALLIENCE AND NOBODY TRIED TO STOP THE PEICE OF £#£<£<€{£•]^<¥>|’&58)&);9) &4$;),&;&($58)(7$4$8($4)$€~+{>*{^}>€~+{>’dichotomy£~€<!.¥~>{*]+€~!.¥>?*{!¥<*>’eitufhnffkhwmrjcmhk$:&;):8;!;!?&:$!19,!:’heumd$;&;):8;)3&;’dmdh’$;6;$;9;8()892&)2$?.,?!’*~%{]+*|>~*,€?+|>]>,,!,<{+]>,€~ SO FIX THIS TRASH HOLE AND THW DIE AND THE MAP AND MAKE ALLIANCES SO YOU CAN ATTACK THEM WITHOUT ASKING AND ALSO ADD A CHAT TO COMMUNICATE SO YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE SUCH DRUNKEN NUTCASES WITH NO REASON TO EXIST.Version: 1.16.52

Love most of itI love the game risk and I love this app, Usually. The app does tend to crash a lot, i just finished playing a multi player game and I won! But it does not seem to matter it took forever to process the results, so I waited patiently for like 5 minutes, then I waited very annoyed for another 5. I turned on airplane mode to see if I could discount and reconnect it would help at all. And then it allowed me to keep playing and taking my turns, after I had the whole world concurred and then my turn timer bar did not stop moving as I tried to take some turns and then I had like 800 Troops built up just cause it let me keep playing by the time the timer bar finished it just sat there when my turn should have ended. I should also add that in a previous online game when I was very close to winning the opponent had 3 territory’s the game froze when his turn timer ran out and just sat there. This in now 2 online games I have “lost” because of this. While I would still recommend the app it gets very frustrating how often the game does stuff like this. Never as bad as this time and even as someone who has only left one app review I felt the need to let people and the hopefully the creators know..Version: 1.19.55

OkI'm now experiencing every time my tokens replenish try to join a game that it says unable to join so I close the tab re join and my tokens are gone and this has happen 4 times in a row so Far. I'm sure you've all experienced losing 20 against 4..Version: 1.14.46

Annoying! Players you can’t beat!Honestly the most frustrating game, you get some players that some how you can’t beat! You have 60 men they have 20 and somehow you lose, they have 5 and you have 20 and they somehow beat you. It destroys the game they give some players more power so it’s not an equal playing field. Also you will have 20 troops and they will be left with 3 and they some how get 5 extra troops on there go and you get 3!??? Makes no sense the developer should sort this out it’s stupid. Also takes a few seconds to do a move and some players it’s almost like they have a joystick, will destroy you in a few seconds literally every hal second they have moved multiple times when it takes me 1 second to move! They are cheating as you can’t move quick enough they just take out 35 of your men in 20 seconds when I have been able to move 15 times in the time frame!.Version: 3.13

Its ok i change my countryIf people hate me that’s fine Muslim always do this.Version: 3.14

Algorithm and connection to online games terrible.Lose signal and when you log back on all players are now Offline. Literally 30 seconds later. So you just play against the computer. Absolute rubbish considering it’s 2020. The dice counter is also so messed up. I have just witnessed (an opponents turn, not even my turn) some one lose when they had 14 v 2. (Lost 13-1). This online individual then proceeded to attack another country with the odds of 8-1. He lost 7-0. These turns were straight after one another. This happens so often it is ridiculous. He then proceeded to leave the game and the computer took over. What is the point. You are discouraging people to play. Sort it out. Also, please fix the following: 1. Why do you have to move 3 across? Whenever you take a country you should be allows to move any number you wish. Sometimes it makes you move 3 across. 2. Global domination. When you host, you are always the final player. It needs to be random surely?!? It is most definitely not random. 3. Please introduce a face icon with the rolling eyes. You know the one right? It perfectly sums up your feelings when you lose 15-1 when attacking with 16 against a country with 2. (Left with 1 each, funny how that works ey?!?) and it completely ruins the game. There we go; that's a good creator. Now go and enjoy my £5 that I'll never get back. (Seriously, sort it out).Version: 2.6.1

PLEASE READ NEEDS FIXINGGreat game, but the developers ruined it, having to wait 5hours to actually play, so you realistically get 1 game every 5 hours. When you actually are playing it's amazing and addictive, intact I would even say it is better then the board game. But maybe you can change it so you can watch a few ads for a free token or at least lower the time, and put more ads so you make money other ways. Also I think the way you get stars at one point you can call in 60 each time you get three stars which sometimes really spoils the whole purpose of it to build up slowly not get loads of troops at one time and take out people in one go. Overall great game but needs to be fixed in some areas. Please consider these changes and actually read this..Version: 1.15.50

Crashes constantly sine July 4 update :(This used to be an enjoyable game to play on my old iPad but since July 4 2020 update it crashes constantly before even starting a game :(.Version: 2.6

Aggressive AdvertisementsThe games fun once you get in a match. The ads in this game however are the most aggressive ads I’ve experienced in a mobile game. Honestly almost enough to stop playing sometimes. Not only are the ads nearly impossible to click out of but a lot of the time they force open the app repeatedly trying to make you download whatever terrible games they’re advertising.Version: 3.3.2

AdsWhenever I try to launch into a game, an ad will load forever and never actually load, I gave up trying after restarting the game countless times and re-downloading it 3 times. It would be nice to actually get into a game for once, please fix it..Version: 3.3.1

Choose a male player name or be bulliedThe Risk player community is as sexist as they come. If you play with a female-sounding player name, you will be hounded from the board in the first few rounds. I’ve changed my name to a male-sounding one and can now have a fair game..Version: 1.23.65

Don’t bother with supportWhen you send in a comment, complaint or even a suggestion to them is a waste. First, when trying to contact support you are directed out of the game to send an email to them. Second, after typing everything up and sending it in you will get a return email back. Third, now the email wants you to go to this site they highlighted and now you have to re-type everything again. ??? Why ??? Oh, that way they do not get complaints or anything they would have to do something then. Maybe, they can say they get any complaints because people are NOT going to sit there and re-type everything again when it was already done and sent to them. This way people just say the heck with it as they can tell that nothing will be done so why waste my time again.... I enjoy the game of RISK but this is not RISK as the game is fixed against you to make you spend money, money, money to play. Playing RISK is supposed to be a game a risk and reward. But, this game is not a game a risk when it is fixed against you. Play global with supposed to be other real players but it is not. The same name playing single player as when I played global. Also, both players (computer) would only attack me and not the other computer. So it is 3against 1 and this happened 7 straight games. What risk? When you have already loss before starting, how many times have you gone first when playing?? Nope, usually 4,5 or 6 to play out of 6 players. What a joke !!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.16.52

If you love ads…If you enjoy watching ads, this is the perfect game for you. If one pregame ads are not enough for you, do not worry! The ad will crash and let you watch another one straight away and then force redirect you to the App Store where the only solution is to reset the app, and yes, you guess it - you get the pleasure of rewatch the ads all over again! Don’t give us the “ad is how we keep the game free speech” like last time - that is not the issue. The issue is your ads crashes your app and forces you to close and reopen only for the cycle to constantly repeat itself until you land on an ad that does not stay stuck force connecting to the app store. Worth reading more carefully next time before you respond..Version: 3.12.1

So much promise..A solid game plagued with glitches and cheaters. Almost every game has a player clearly using two devices to get an edge on the opponents. 8/10 games end by one player sacrificing themselves so another player clearly working together can win making games very unfair. Location could be used to stop players near each other being able to join games.. if friends want to play it should be unranked. Finally crashes glitches and most annoyingly a horrible levelling system with no way to tell when you are near advancing.. I went from beginner to expert to novice in one day.. I’ve also lost countless games by it simply kicking me out due to an unknown error right when im dominating a game.. honestly guys it’s horrendous when you really want to play it competitively, I’m a strong risk player and would love to play more but this game needs sorting out big time..Version: 1.25.69

Pay to playIt’s a free game, sure. But when you have to wait hours to play a game regardless of whether you play for a minute or longer it becomes annoying. Then you either have to watch a 30 second ad 10 times at least to play one game. I do enjoy the times I am playing and have had some really fun games that were worth the wait. But this being said, the wait time needs to be balanced, otherwise you’ll lose players..Version: 1.27.84.578

Dice rolls are insanely unfairI love the presentation but the game is unplayable. The AI will regularly win 15+ dice rolls in a row and it just loses all sense of enjoyment at that point..Version: 2.8.0

Only works half the timeI love this game and have purchased premium and put many hours into it. Don’t get my wrong it is great… some of the time. The gameplay is fine but the amount of times I have lost games due to bugs is ridiculous. For example if I disconnect for even one minute and re-join, I get a bug where I can’t place any troops down so basically can’t play at all and have to forfeit the game. I can do everything else.. view players, make alliances, trade in cards, view settings… everything apart from the 1 most important aspect of the game which is placing down my troops and attacking! Would have given 5 stars if it weren’t for this..Version: 3.8.0

Great game riddled with cheatsOverall , risk is the only game i have had on my phone without deleting over the years . Game of strategy which is so entertaining which you can play for hours on end . 1 major flaw which the admins can not get a grip of is the amount of cheaters that make up several accounts and join the same game as their main account. If the game developers could somehow figure out a way to eliminate the fake ranking point cheaters this game would be the ultimate go to game . Unfortunately over the years they have let it breed and fester . Ruined !!!!! And i am , and have been for a decade a grandmaster. 3 out of 5!.Version: 3.13

Dice rolling not fairI am a long time fan of the board game and this app. The change to dice rolling that has happened recently is really not cool though. The regular occurrence of losing large numbers of troops while attacking doesn’t make the game fun. Yesterday I lost 9 attacking a country with 1 troop in it. It makes the game too unpredictable and unfair to players who rely on strategy. It’s not what would happen if you were playing the real life board game. I won’t be playing it anymore until this is fixed. Please change it as I love this game!!!!.Version: 2.8.0

Great game, but filled with cheatersThe game itself is awesome, smg studio have added some great features. The prevalence of cheaters (people using multiple accounts to win multiplayer games) is far too high though. Basically you’re left with 1 on 1 battles as the only way to be sure the other player isn’t a cheat. Really kills the competitive spirit and possibilities of fun. Been playing for several years, will keep playing for many more hopefully. If they had a way of filtering out cheating players based on IP addresses being too similar or even the same, it may help. Oh lastly, do yourself a favour and buy premium when it is on sale. It is worth the no ads and no tokens for play. People often forget that game studios need to make a living creating the games we love to play (generally for free). Good luck, and see you on the battlefield!.Version: 2.3.1

Not a fair game at all!!!Have tried this game and the concept is really good but it is such an unfair game! It is seems to be set for a certain person to win from the beginning!! Beginning the game if you set up and everyone seems to be equally divided every one will get the three troops but low and behold one person will all the sudden get six! Then if you set up and you have 9 against three and the odds show 86% then you lose! Then everyone gets cards and either you don’t get your set like everyone else and you lose your territories or people end up getting 10-12 troops and you get 4-6 you lose your territory!! I just do not understand why it is like this because it makes it not fun at all just frustrating!! Another thing is you can have gotten 75 percent of the board and you are winning and you won’t get the cards but somehow the other player can get ALL the cards they need and somehow get 37 troops and they take the board and you have four cards but no set and you end up getting 3 troops and you lose. This happens so often I have had to delete this game because of the frustration of it not being a fair game!! It is a shame because it really has the potential to be a great game!.Version: 2.6.1

Was fun not anymoreIt was at the beginning when I was new to the game of course figuring out how the AI play and learning strategies to move and fight with my troops but after awhile the game started getting worse like out of no where now there’s micro transactions for avatars at first I was thinking “ok it’s a free game they just need money and that’s understandable” but it then lead to almost everything else needing money all the way to the COLOUR of your avatar….. and on top of that there is this weird glitch with the avatars were there coloured with black outlines around them or even covering there face you’d think if they charge people to buy them they’d at least look nice and on top of that the amount of ads you get are ridiculous just recently I played a game then won got an ad which is understandable then I got another ad by pressing the button to play another game to then selecting what battle I want another ad they weren’t short either they were at least 15 to 20 seconds long and it was always the same thing it didn’t help the button to get it off my screen was small to anyway this was a great game which was fun to play but these problems unfortunately led me to uninstall.Version: 3.4.1

FreezesWorks perfectly while watching all the opponents play their turn, but somehow freezes every single time my turn happens? 🤨 then the game proceeds to log me out or work again by the time my phase has ended 🤦‍♀️.Version: 2.6.1

Crashing outside of gameplayWhen I have been able to get a game going everything is fine. However I’ve had around four crashes at either starting or finishing games. The kicker? I only downloaded this yesterday and have only played four games. Seems to be the link to the ad services largely that crashes it. Sometimes the game detects it and handles the error sometimes it doesn’t..Version: 3.12

$20 for unlimited tokens and ad-free???Good game and been addicted for weeks now but I just can’t justify $20 for unlimited tokens and to remove ads. If they offered unlimited tokens and no ads for $5, I would have bought the premium version on day 2 of game play. Hence the reason why I’ve knocked this review down from 5 to 3 stars. So, after all these weeks of gameplay, they’ve still got $0 from me because $20 is a rip-off! Don’t they know everyone’s lost their jobs due to COVID-19?.Version: 2.7.1

Making free features behind pay walls over timeYou used to be able to create a game with features such as “blizzards” and “fog of war”, features that really enhances the experience, which were free and now with the latest update they are behind a pay wall, RISK MOBILE GAME does not make the bulk of their money from people who purchase a map every now and then, the bulk of their money comes from people who are addicted to micro transactions, hence why there game is advertised as free but when you start playing it many features are behind pay walls, how DARE YOU have features that are free from day one just to put a pay wall there years later, you don’t care about your community otherwise many features wouldn’t have been taken away.Version: 3.8.1

Not balanced gameThis game is very annoying to play Once the computer puts the odds in another players favour the rolls will never be balanced May as well give up and restart a new game This is such a bad game you will go from expert level to beginner and simply end up mad.Version: 2.8.0

Not True RandomGuys come on, you provide option for true random dice roll. But it’s clearly not. The same scenario plays out over and over. Why do this? Either remove the option or fix it..Version: 2.6.1

Connection issuesIn game and lose connection.Version: 3.11.0

TrashAbsolute trash if it’s not the game with its problems. It’s the amount of ads compared to amount of time playing. A game is 5-10 mins you watch double that in Ads. First when open the game, another when starting a match another 2-3 after the match. And if you start another match it’s same amount of ads all over… then there is the response time from support emails. Response time being that they never do respond so I guess zero response time. But watch Luci will right some developer response to this. That’s if it’s posted. There’s a reason the review dates are hugely gaped..Version: 3.4.1

Coin collectingIt’s a very addictive game. Really like the different versions/skill level of the games. The different versions consist of different continents to conquer. Not sure if it is or not, but I think each computer avatar should have a different battle plan. The different game packages they have I have not bought one yet. I may have to buy one once I get bored with the current continents. The coins that we earned in the game should be allowed to be put towards buying a game package. That probably won’t matter anyway because the coins you earned cannot be received pass the next amount ending in zero. For example. When you finish a game and you have 57 coins no matter what you do it will not let you pass 60 coins. It says if you watch this video you will receive five coins. I have never received five coins for watching any of the videos. If you have anywhere between 56 to 59 coins it will not let you receive past 60. Then all the methods to receive coins are removed until you spend more coins. It would be nice option where you can have an alliance with any of the other computer avatars until the alliance is broken by one or the other. Or if you conquer one of the avatars you can receive coins..Version: 2.8.0

There’s to much addsAfter a game you hope straight into a add right after the match and quitting the match to its so annoying.Version: 3.2.1

Why bother?Seriously!? Who ever has first turn usually takes Australia in one go, then sits there the entire game and amasses 5 armies per turn and just branches out slowly from New Guinea! I’ve been playing this “game” for about a month now, not once have I gotten close to victory. Alliances? What is the point!? There is no advantage to them AT ALL, and your “ally” just turns on you and wipes you for your cards. The bots in single player seem to only attack me and online games are always fleshed out in the same way, you win Australia, you win game. There is NO joy in this and I want to throw my phone at the wall! And the tokens! Don’t even get me started on the tokens to actually play the game!! Playing the proper table top version on RISK, hella fun! This!? Hell NO! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! There is nothing for you here except frustration and tears!.Version: 1.25.69

Great, but dice is not randomI really enjoyed this game. It looks great and works beautifully, but the dice is not random. The game places an advantage to one player from the beginning, at times sympathy to losing players, and at times purposely preventing players to gain territory on a given turn. I have been playing this game every day for two weeks and it’s a continuous trend. The advantaged player has an easier time taking over territories while not losing many points, if any at all, and this is felt throughout the game. Once in a while justice is served, but the advantage continues. On the other hand a player that is losing, including myself, is given sympathy by winning unbeatable odds. Worst case scenario, one game I attacked the same territory with a 6-2 odd from multiple territories for 4 full turns and lost every battle never obtaining it. Seems like bad luck, but I defended a similar situation, for not as long, and even still questioned the “randomness” of the game. After playing the game for some time you can predict some battles especially if one player is losing or you lose a battle that is clearly in you favor, so you learn to not attack because you will continue to lose for that turn. It seems like the idea is to drag on the game or make it more fun, but it just becomes frustrating. If this algorithmic sympathy/advantage is fixed, the I will re-download and play, but for now I’m done. I’ll stick with the board game..Version: 1.16.52

BugJ’essai d’ouvrir l’app et le jeu reste sur le logo d’ouverture avec le cercle de loading en continue et l’apps n’ouvre jamais ..Version: 1.26.82.556

Horrible “random dice”There is fun to be had playing risk regardless but when you’re losing purely due to impossible dice outcomes it loses its appeal. I’ve played dozens of games of real risk. Hours long to fight those giant battles and rolled tens of thousands of dice in doing so. Yet in those experiences I have 2 memories of the completely lopsided outcomes that you’ll find in every game here. I always pick “True Random” when I look for games because it automatically skews to some other option if you don’t. Regardless no matter where I am in my games my dice rolls are always a perfect 16% for my overall stats. This started after my first game. Each game You will see multiple massive defeats that hate statistically improbable. I’m talking someone attacking with 20 against 3 and killing only 2 guys. Or attacking through 10 counties with only single defenders and Losing 20 troops to do it. That’s a defender winning 2 times before losing when he’s rolling 1 die against 3 10 times in a row... If you’ve played with real dice you know these things can happen but the frequency that it happens here is insane. But don’t worry. Once you’ve lost you’re whole army on a single attack that should have been a guaranteed victory the enemy will lose some extra troops here and there so the numbers don’t look skewed at the end of the game. I’ve got pictures of the battle logs that I took out of frustration but of course I can’t post them here. Deleting app..Version: 2.8.0

Great game but...This game is great and it requires you to think hard... Well not necessarily, it may seem that whether you win a battle is down to RNG but it’s rigged to whoever moves first and I have tested this. Another thing that has happened is I had 8 tokens so I watched an advert to gain tokens, after the advert I found out my tokens had decreased to six. In conclusion, this game is amazing and really enjoy it but battles are not down to RNG and tokens can decrease from watching out, could use a few tweaks to solve these problems and make the game more enjoyable and dice rolls and games slightly more down to RNG and luck rather than hoping to make the first move..Version: 1.25.69

Continual glitch IssuesI genuinely enjoy this game, but the amount of glitches I have encountered makes it so frustrating that I’m not even sure it’s worth my time anymore. The game continually crashes on me, and then I can’t get back in to play that game and have to restart. Just now I went to play it, and even though I hadn’t even opened the app in about a week it said that I have no tokens left and have to wait an hour for one to replenish....Ridiculous. If this is their attempt to make me purchase premium it’s not going to work..Version: 1.19.55

New July 2020 update sucksI used to love playing risk on this app until the most recent update. It has brought up a lot of issues. They had introduced many great updates in the past, but missed the mark on this one..Version: 2.6

HORRIBLE AUDIO DUPLICATION BUGEvery single time I watch an ad whether it be forced upon me or I choose to do it no matter what the audio will always double or triple it’s self and it sounds like absolute hell to fix this. You have to close the game and re-open it in the game of force you to watch another ad. This is almost a perfect game besides from this glaring bug. Three out of five stars until you fix this.Version: 3.14

Absolute waste of timeThis game is an abomination of the classic game. The dice rolls are the worst. Now the maker of the game will come on here and tell you how they are random and you can go look at the way the dice work, blah blah blah. The fact is they are the most unrealistic thing Ive ever seen in my life. Here are a couple examples of what I mean to save you the frustration this game causes after spending an hour playing good and then being ready to attack. I just had a match that was the last straw, I had several territories and built up accordingly on the perimeter to attack. After about 45 minutes of play with 5 other players I was ready to attack. The first one was 10 of mine vs 1 of theirs. I lost all 9 soldiers to their 1 and they defeated that roll with one dice against my 3-10 times! Yu know how impossible it would be to roll 30 dice and never have a since number above their one die? Unreal, if not impossible. In this same game, on the other edge of my territory I had 34 soldiers attacking an opponent that had 4 cards but only 7 soldiers left to obtain their cards and take them out. Their 7 took all my soldiers to where we each had 1 to 1. That was it for me, I quit that game and deleted the app. Dont waste hours of your life like I did on this disaster..Version: 3.14
