What real reviews say
★★★★★ Great game just one thing This game is amazing but it crashes a lot around round 130 to round 150
★★★★★ Noice… Noice… Pretty tight that Total War has finally come to mobile I always wished it was a possibility and now I’m able to play Empire for the first time because of it being accessible to mobile and I’m impressed to say that it’s bomb. Hopefully Rome 2 will be in the near future!
★ Would like a refund I love these games, was super excited to see empire was available. I paid and downloaded the game only to be told it’s not supported on my device despite it specifically saying it was on the download page. This is theft. The page I get taken too for a refund says there is no refund available, which
