Game is well designed and rating would be five stars except for one fatal flaw! In online, when a player quits and the computer takes over, the computer needs to be more logical and sophisticated. I was just playing an online match and it was between three players. A computer controlled, a human opponent and myself. The human opponent had at one point, four continents under full control, I had one (Australia) and the computer had its troops spread over Asia with out control of the full continent. The computer proceeded to consistently attack territories in Asia and corner me in Australia by stacking surrounding territories with high troop counts, while my human opponent was absolutely running away with the game! To make matters worse, the human opponent left some continents with little protection and the computer still didn’t attack one single territory to reduce the bonus troops for the human opponent. Needless to say I lost the match. My issue is I didn’t lose because the human player out strategized me, but rather because the computer player was in la la land with its head up its a-s. Please make the computer in online much more sophisticated so that the games remain competitive and fair when some one quits mid game.

I first downloaded this app back around 2015 or so, and it was exactly the game I was looking for. I enjoyed playing regularly enough, but when the first pack of new maps came out, it was game changing. I was especially fond of the USA and Europe maps. I had since downloaded several different series of maps, and purchased the game twice when my original Apple ID was lost. I was happy to do so for the quality of gameplay. Over the years I have gone for periods without playing, but I somehow always come back and keep going. I understand the need to keep cash rolling after all these years, but the game is started to turn into every other gems for items game. The purchasable emotes and figures are annoying having felt the purity of the game in its early days. I shouldn’t be surprised, and am always excited to see the new maps. I wish you’d go back to world maps and regional maps. I always enjoy real world scenarios more, personally. Also, with all the changes, I keep needing to login with my ID. It’s really annoying, and has created at least 4 different characters over the past few months, as well as making an entire map package I purchased no longer available. I didn’t mind rebuying the game when I lost my Apple ID, but I lost one of my favorite maps in one of the character changes.

I’d rate it lower if possible, i played 6 straight games where i did not lose to poor strategy but because the dice roll odds are ridiculous. I lost a 17 more troops then they did when we both started with 30 and then the next turn I attack someone and lost all 13 troops on another territory when they were defending with 6. This has happened multiple times to players that pay for the risk premium account and only in critical points in the game. Every review I’ve seen just gets replied to with a “check out our dice odds” automated reply but it’s almost statistically impossible to lose 6 games in a row like that at critical points and never have one of them go my way. In addition to the dice odds, computer/AI needs to play like an actual person. There have been multiple times it just continues to attack me or attacks another person when it does not make sense. This has both helped and hurt me but it shouldn’t be a thing. I can leave a territory that’s giving me a continent bonus with only 1 troop in it and they will refuse to attack me and it’s gone both ways. Lastly, they do not actually evaluate reports. Several times players will either blatantly cheat or stall (refusing to attack the last remaining territory just to draw out a game). Even when reporting this they send back a reply saying they didn’t do it. I have no clue how you can look at someone not attacking the sole territory for multiple turns and not call it stalling. Horribly run game.

Hey guys I hope you get a chance to see this review and strongly consider adding in a duo mode. This game is incredibly immersive as is fun and there always seems to be a game available. The match making system is easy and convenient. But one thing that could make a lot more people hang around and make premium a little bit more worth it along as expand the use for a friend list, would be to let you pair up with at least one other person, so that way when your playing with your alliance, you don’t have to ultimately betray your teammate at the end of the game, maybe using alliances land to transport troops so you don’t get stuck behind your teammates, continents and the extra troops get divided between the alliance (2 players) with maybe the player with the majority of the land gets a couple extra troops depending on how much more land they have. I Swear to if you make something like that it will hold the interest of so much more people to this game, and may make the premium option more swaying. I think premium was worth the money, but it took me some time to really give In and get it, I would have been sold much sooner if they had duos. Over all great game, well made, good art work , very well balanced
