The 2nd tutorial mission took me forever as I was recruiting mainly archers and cav and didn't realise the goal. Once I did my income was negative so I struggled to raise the 40 light troops and 5 heavy. At this point I was smashing the enemy lord in battle as he was charging me with none or very little troops. When I was 1 heavy troop away from completing the mission some cloaked nerdy wizard showed up, blasted half my army and scared the other half. Uninstalled immediately.

Just invaded a garrison (1 defender) and lost 49. The same happened to me on defense. So you're telling me that your "auto battle" feature is pointless as it won't even work? Tell me in what world one light skirmisher beats a carefully crafted army of 49 units including a leader (opponent's army did not have the leader ) And to think I almost spent money on the upgraded version. Until the auto battle feature (on a a grand campaign style game, mind you) is fixed, this is not worth playing, yikes

The game is alright but a bit glitchy at the moment. AI being able to use spells and shoot their catapults doing sieges, which gives them a huge advantage against the player and their spells being way more potent as well.. Auto Battle is a brilliant way to throw away your progress as your entire army can die to 1 lord.. AI attacks player more then other AI, going out of the way to attack you. Even though it means them losing their keep/castle. Over all buggy and frustrating experience so far..

Everything works fine except one little thing which is a little annoying at Conquer the Realm. I understand that if my fortress gets attacked, my hero and his campaign army gets called back to the fortress to help defend. The problem is when the region where my was gets attacked in the same turn by another enemy AFTER I defend the siege because my campaign army there fights just like it would be garrisoned. That means it doesn't get the support of the hero. I would prefer if it left that region.

I love this game! My favorite mode is conquer the realm but, I was wondering will you implement a save function for longer game sessions I really wanna do longer game sessions in that game mode and it would be nice if there was a way to save ❤️ but again love this game love this series keep up the good work!

I remember playing this game quite a while back. The game is still as good, but it's full of bugs and ads, and everything is locked behind a paywall. I would think about paying for it if the bugs were fixed and we got more of the actual game to try out, not just 5 "missions" that you complete in 20 minutes.

A classic slightly different than the original but still great, the only issue that I've run into is the narrator voice gets cut off a lot of the time but nothing that keeps me from playing. overall a really fun charming game from my childhood back once again thanks Oliver.

Terrible game - big fan of the Swords and Sandals series but this game is shocking. AI abilities 10x stronger than my own even if maxed out and the amount of times during a mission the map would turn black and would have to restart the mission after 20+ turns is ridiculous. Would like a refund for my ultranus version...

The game has some bugs that make it unplayable and one mission that makes it seem unplayable on chapter 2 mission 1 you gotta give the player more turns instead of 14 give them 18, amd the bugs are black screen after a siege fight, another is the game slows down when u play for too long, this game could be really good and theres no save button if the game gets deleted or when u exit the game fix it

Veteran player here. I played this when I was the kid in 2007 and this game made my childhood. I revisited the OG full version in 2017. But why 1 star only you would ask? It's bugged. Sometimes after the fight the campaign map goes black and you can't see anything it happens too often(especially in time limited missions). Also I don't like archer mechanics in the new game. Also tournament diving game sucks. There is no logic on how it works. Also I am not a fan of new fear and morale mechanics

Very fun i enjoyed it but it actually stops at the campaign for me because, for some reason uk people can download the game, but not buy the full version in the game purchases, it shows dollars even if you have your store set to United Kingdom fix please. Am still gonna give you 5 star because, i follow your whole sword and sandals Franchise. Great game👍🏾 there was only one bug i know of and it happened in the purchase area i pressed restore and was loading for so long had to fresh.

i have hit a brick wall, its totally impossible to get past tge first mission of chapter 3, how are you supposed to capture AND upgrade 10 provinces in 12 turns?!?! its not do-able, on the older version it was capture 10 provinces in 15 turns, which is more reasonable, this needs to be fixed, other than that love this game, but the campaign is a big part of it for me and without being able to get past the first mission of chapter 3 im starting to lose interest because of frustration. pls fix :(

Great game! Brings back the classic S&S Crusaders energy and gameplay with uplifted art and design that looks good on mobile. The UI and controls itself is also well optimized and works well, definitely good choice that overall makes the experience better compared to past releases which could feel "janky," and other less optimized games. The overall gameplay is pretty good, similar to the classic and retaining what made it interesting to begin with!

Been a massive fan of the series since it first came out, was happy to see they've brought it to the playstore, however it seems the bugs and issues that existed 15 years ago are still abundant in this app. Constant crashing, freezing, blank screens and game breaking bugs make this a bittersweet purchase. 3/5

Good and fun game, should be worth a full 5 stars. But the campaign turns on several missions need some tuning, some are require RNG to be extremely kind or you fail (capture and improve 10 provinces in 12 turns and start with no gold? Luck will pass this not skill). The bugs are annoying, sometimes troops just vanish, the map going full black is an annoyance in campaign but in the conquer the realm mode it literally ends your game making that mode unplayable. Want to see it get better.

This game was MADE to be played on mobile!!! Seriously its thag good, the controls are functional, battles are fast paced which is perfect for mobile games, and the campaign map is compact yet expansive. Overall a ton of fun. If the ability to zoom in was added this game would be a masterpiece among the mobile S&S games, but I digress :P

Great free version, but is a little buggy. Unfortunately buying the ultratus version is much worse nearly every conquest freezes when you get to the last enemy. Game play is great, but the bugs are a real problem! Also sometimes it will auto garrison your entire army and they get slaughtered in the auto-battle.

Campaign unfortunately has some bugs that require leaving the game and restarting from the start of a mission, so it would be good if you could save progress during a mission. Other than that, the game is really fun and is altered in a way that keeps the same energy as the original.

Almost 50% of the time playing conquer the realm, after a battle the map will go black, you can still click on territory and take actions but you can't see anything you are doing and the only option is to go back to menu and start all the way over, which if you were 100 turns into your game... becomes pretty annoying with how frequently it happens

The game is fun but the bugs make it so unenjoyable. I bought the all inclusive package for $4. This app is almost worth the money. The screen goes blank and I can never save my games. I wouldn't recommend bothering putting time into this game until they fix the current issues Edit: For whatever reason I keep playing the game and I noticed my garrisons troops would disappear. Too many bugs. I'm done with it.
