Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is awesome! Ive loved Territorial.io for years, and Im really enjoying the new chat feature where players can finally communicate. Ive played since we were little, and Ive noticed a few things the creator could improve to make the game even better (not saying its bad at all!): 1. Boat steering: The recent update made boats harder to control. It used to feel smoother and more responsive. We think reverting it to the old tap-and-move system would improve gameplay a lot. 2. Chat costs gold: we dont really like that chat messages use gold. Maybe chat could be free, or have a cooldown instead. 3. Gold earnings: Matches could reward a bit more gold its hard to save up otherwise. 4. Friends & private matches: Please add a system where you can friend players and create private matches or parties! That way, friends can easily play together without random players joining. 5. Zombie mode balance: Its too hard right now. Even large teams get wiped quickly, which makes it feel unfair. Maybe scale zombie strength to player count or territory size. 6. Screen glitches: Sometimes parts of the UI dont show properly. Ive seen reviews mentioning this issue for years hopefully it can be fixed soon. 7. In-match chat: Add a simple chat during matches, similar to emojis, where text appears under your name. It would make teamwork and reactions more fun. 8. More emojis: Players love expressing themselves a few new ones each update would be awesome. 9. Custom maps & map rotation: Letting the community design maps or vote on the next map would make the game even more engaging. 10. Player profiles & stats: Showing wins, games played, or time survived would motivate players and track progress. 11. Matchmaking tiers: Grouping newer players separately from pros would make matches fairer. 12. Cosmetic customization: Allow players to unlock flags, emblems, or name colors with gold it would be a fun way to personalize gameplay. 13. Better AI bots: For single-player or filler bots, smarter AI would make matches feel more realistic and challenging. 14. Improved mobile controls: More responsive dragging and zooming on mobile devices would make the game smoother to play. Overall, this is still one of our favorite games. We appreciate the effort the creator puts in and hope these ideas help make it even better. Thanks for all your hard work.
Its a great game but its yet the most rage baiting game Ive ever experienced how is it possible for someone thats smaller than us or the same size but we have more power points in our kingdom he attacks us and spams the attack butting like if he was exploiting the game somehow but overall great game 10/10.
People are swearing not 4+ game more like 18+ gamr alltought your game great did know this was on mobile.
U should ad the 50 states of America.
This game is fun but on multiplayer it is so glitched it keeps making errors like error 1006 .please fix this.remove the report system. Someone is racist to the Chinese race because someone reported us because we were named Qing dynasty. REMOVE THE GOLD SYSTEM.
We overall LOVE this game, last we checked it had no ads, or at least an abysmally small amount of ads, and its genuinely SO fun. BUT we would like it if some features from openfront.io were implemented, like missiles, alliances with bots, and definitely the one we want added most, instead of attacking by just expanding in a triangle like formation, make it so attacking pixels are randomized in where they capture land, it would make the game SO much better.
Game used to be great but now they have an ad pop up after every game can yall at least give us an option to pay for no ads.
We used to love this gams, it was absolutely amazing, but now we cant load into anything just says the game is updated! Please reload the gameI have reloaded multiple times and it wont work.
Why is that we download the game but it takes us to a website.
Idk who their ad service is. Game is good, when they added ads its an instant kill app and reload scenario, or just stop playing.
Game is fun so 5 stars because fun ig.
This game is amazing. But for the other game you made. Its TRASH. So yeah. Make more like this. And not that other game.
This is a really fun and good game but we keep losing all our save data and its setting us to where it looks like Im not in the app but in the web browser and it resets us Ive lost so much gold and its really irritating because we have to earn it again all for this glitch to happen again please fix this. Thank you for reading this if you did.
We like the chat update it makes the game more fun.
So the reason why we rated it 5 stars is for everyone to see this. All the players in multiplayer mode are disrespectful and instantly kill you which makes us frustrated. Another reason is because when you put your kingdom name, it just puts your name as rEdAcTeD 8 or whatever that thing is. We would rate it 1 star. Or even 0 stars if we could. Do not try this game on multiplayer.
We hate when we can't remove a 1, can you remove that feature on the left please? Next we would like the max ai's to be 10000 please. We also we wish we can control the players teams.
The only thing is we cant is to make a lobby.
We have been playing a long long time and its great but just needs some music thats all.
So good for geo learners P.s FREAKING BEST IN THE WORLD.
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE PLAYING THISSSSS.
So we opened this app after a few months and they deleted the world map, and everything is just worse. Im rating this 5 stars so other people and the developer of Territorial.io can see this, also please bring back the world maps and please put the play with bots thing back.
Im honestly surprised, but one thing we would like is a 3d mode for the world map only, or make into a different app! Overall we love this game.
Dear Territorial.io team, we appreciate your game as well as its mechanics, however, we have noticed a graphical change over time that is prevalent in Desert, Mountains 1 and 2, and Swamp. We propose a world map change. It does not need to replace the previous one, but we believe making the map as true to life as it could. If it isnt too much to ask, it would be nice to get a change in the continents as well. Sincerely, Ramen54231.
Real But, make actual updates that are good like making more maps or gamemodes.
Add capitals to the game and when a union or country collapse, it forms smaller countries.
This game is super fun. We have been searching for a game like this and it is prob one of the best country sim out there. But it needs some improvement like Ive tried multi player but it didnt work and its Cinda easy even the very hard mode was easy and the developer needs to make more maps but this game is so good like we said it just need improvement.
Wheres the Singapore map also the thumbnails are inaccurate.
We hate the new emojis tho. They just dont fit the game the new font just doesn't work anymore.
Great game its great for our ADHD.
The game is fun and isnt pay to win.
This game is amazing :No internet required :amazing strategy and the boats :fun custom maps.
We would love to play on it as a map.
We love this game, Ive been playing it for 2-3 years & its gotten better each year. We love the competitiveness & polish, the admin vote and the fact that your account gets deleted if you reach 0 gold is the only reason its not 5 stars, but its still great! We hope they update again.
The Games pretty Fun, just that Theres some stuff that need to be fixed or added well this is the only thing we hate. The game is not allowing us to change our team or add a specific number, it always changes. Please fix this bug or whatever.
1: music or sounds 2: alliances 3: a map will all countries will there borders 4: being able to be neutral 5: peace treaties 6: puppets Now we know this is a game just for the fight and action but if you add these things people will 1: like the game more 2: download it a lot more Not saying the games terrible but the game needs reworks but keep going with your hard work and keep pushing.
This game is amazing, but interest is annoying and should be removed.
This game is fun has lots of strategy and stuff but it takes it down one star Becuse no music it could also use a map maker where people can make their own maps and it would randomly choose it through all the players randomly made maps and have a chance for them to be played.
In the AppStore we went in there to try and find the game but it just says we have the game and theres no update and when ever we try to reload it it does nothing all though the overall gameplay is amazing.
Good game but it needs some music there is no sound.
We gotta get a hold of our anger issues in online games (we cracked our phone screen multiple times after getting ganged up in public matches).
We have played this game a lot on many diffent phones for many years and have fun playing. All up dates have added better things to the game. But the recent update is making the game less enjoyable plz pleazzz reverse the update a lot of people also dont like it.Please change the way the game ends when you have to vote for peace Reason:having to wait for 30sec to 5 minutes for you to vote for peace.Thats a big part of why the games is fun in the end games when war has settled or there is a declared winner.In the new update,already to our knowing thats changed. We hope the developers see this and reverse the update on August 12th plz we like this game a lot plz dont let this game go thxxx.
This game is fun.. Until you get ganged up by TWO ais in the same round. This is why we think bombs could be fun for new and old players. With a limit. 10 weak bombs 5 medium bombs and 1 Nuke. That way it is balanced out. You get new ones after every game. That is our suggestion.
We just find it unfair that people have to play the game all the or at least once a day to avoid their account being deleted its just kinda cruel please get rid of that other than that the game is nice. P.S we rarely have time to be able to play this.
Now we like this game because it does what mobile games are supposed to do and that is pass time without getting board, but our only big problem with the game is that ALLIANCES DO NOTHING. Please make something to make alliances worth something because every time we play we think we have a real player that we can trust but whenever we trust the person most of the time we get backstabbed and eliminated. We have only ever had 2 people we think that have been friendly until the end.
We dont know what is happening but the game wont load up anymore in our iPhone. Should we uninstall then reinstall.
Overall, this is a fun game with simple rules, but there is about a 10% chance that someone has a swear word in their username. It would be nice if the option to turn off usernames was added back, because that pretty much ruins the experience.
So you know how in multiplayer your able to make peace treaties and send resources to other nations we would love to have the same exact in single player so it makes it a lot more fun and a little bit more strategy into single player but after all its still a great game.
Its a fun game but the thing is you have to play it a certain way to have a chance on winning.
Very fun app, but very bad names are being used and not monitored.
