SPRING 1942...THE WORLD IS AT WAR
German tanks mobilize in the west, blitzing into France and pushing back the Soviet Union in eastern Europe. The United States rises in response to Japanese aggression in the Pacific. The United Kingdom rallies allies as bombers menace the skies. The year is 1942, and the world is at war!

Victory goes to the side that conquers its opponents on the field of battle and occupies the greatest cities of the world. Will the Axis continue to spread across the globe unchecked, or will the Allies rally to push back against imperialistic tyranny? Challenge your friends and change the course of history!

Ratings and reviews

The game works, but crashes a lot. Also, the pinch zoom is way too fast on my phone, and way too slow on my tablet. Scrolling the map works as expected (1 to 1 with finger movement), but zooming is just wonky. The UI could use some improvements as well. The game is played in landscape format, so having the territory tray open up at the bottom, as opposed to the side, covers up a lot of the map you might actually want to use. Some of the unit placement in territories is a little weird too.

It's got some growing up to do. Blitzkrieg actions are not intuitive and can frustrate a player. If you want to simulate the game at very fast speeds you will not be able to monitor progress on the main map because a useless subscreen (turn order) is right in the way. That information could go anywhere else but taking up the entire screen. That said I do like this app though.

I've been waiting for this game to have an official mobile version for years, and it is outstanding! I've never had an issue finding a game. I do have a couple of suggestions if the devs read these: 1. There should be a way to add your opponent as a friend during and after a game. I want a rematch! 2. The AI uses the same strategy every game. Change it up! 3. When you get a victory/defeat notification for Online play, allow us to view the board after! I want to see how it ended.
