my 319 payment deducted from.accouny but didn't receive the gold
- Rushikesh Tambe · v1.3.13
It was a good wargame. Hate to have to give it such a low review, but the game has terrible balance problems. Airtillary has a big range, but because everything in the game has range, most tanks can hit airtillary on thier turn through moving and shooting. And units run out of resources so fast, it becomes cheaper to buy new units then to keep supporting your front. Really hate leaving such a bad review for a great idea, and a true wargame on the internet, but these need to be addressed.
- Effie Shraga · v1.3.13
way to long of a wait between battle
- Robert Dee
"Premium" paid game with scam ads that are hard to close. There are no animations and the units slide comically around the map. You and the "enemy" all face the same way, which makes watching a battle hilariously awkward. I was hoping for a mobile way to get a C&C fix, but this isn't it. Immediately uninstalled.
- Jason Wuori · v1.3.13
the game is fine..except how much you nickle and dime for gold...and for a paid game. its not worth the huge cost!
- David Drift · v1.3.13
The game itself operates smoothly, but it's pay(or watch numerous ads) to win. You receive a budget per game and get a little pay by killing opponents, but still run out halfway through the round and either purchase gold or watch ad after ad. if an ad would pay more gold I would give it another star. Or a way to earn more gold mid game, like kills are worth twice what they pay now. Or an objective to secure to start earning more per round. The game has decent potential, it's just money hungry.
- Jason W · v1.3.13
Why is a paid game asking me to watch ads or buy gold? Pathetic.
- Carlo Di
people giving this a five stars, four stars or 3 stars are completely bots! like this doesn't change anything from the FREE VERSION because you still get ads if you decide to watch it for free gold, there is still gold you have to use AND PAY FOR! so what's the point of having the pay version of this game if you can just play the free version and go offline, don't pay for this game unless it goes on a super dirt cheap like $0.01 or $0.05 then it's totally a purchase.
- Russell · v1.3.13

Less money and to many ads
- Theodore September
Great game but movement graphics could be improved so u face enemies and u should earn good afta each turn
- Frank Finch · v1.3.6
Do not buy this game. it is a scam. Get ready to spend thousands of dollars just to play this stupid game.
- Jacob R · v1.3.6
Good experience
- A Google user · v1.3.6
Great game! It's like chess with cooler pieces. However, Handygames continues to tout "PVP multiplayer online" battles, which the game sorely needs but doesn't actually support. Fix this feature! And please stop saying it can't be done. If online/wifi multiplayer games like Modern Combat 3 exist, then online/wifi multiplayer is definitely doable for Deadly Desert. This wonderul game NEEDS this feature. Pass and play on the same device is inadequate in 2023.
- Cylon Wright · v1.3.4

Disgustingly pay to play
- Sampson Brandon · v1.3.2
Multi-player?
- Dokken · v1.3.2
Had the unpaid version for a while and was expecting more levels like it showed in the images and don't know how to access multiplayer
- Henry · v1.3.2
Pretty cool. Basically no difference between this and the free version.
- Stormtrooper190 · v1.2.2
Fun little tile based strategy, bought the payed version in hopes of watching less ads, but there is no peceptible difference. I would appreciate a detailed explanation of what the paid version gives you vs the free one.
- Gabriel Reppeto · v1.3.2
Took to long
- Frank Browning · v1.3.2
Lifted from classic paper hex board games... with smooth mechanics. Not easy!
- A Google user · v1.3.0

Playing this game is too expensive
- A Google user
Love it
- A Google user · v1.2.1
One of my favorites of the Handy Game’s series in this genre. Although I let it sit on my iPad for quite some time before playing it, once I got going and started to learn the game, I was hooked. Fairly simple learning curve, mastering the game was fun and engaging. Thumbs up to the Developers! Hope you are able to keep the updates and new campaigns coming!
- CaptChris69 · v1.2.2
Paid for this game, so I wouldn't have adds or harassment to purchase more, I get both, this bullsh-t.

Great game
- A Google user
Too hard to get ample amounts of gold. I completed many offers that did not work. Otherwise good game.
- A Google user · v1.2.1
It's fun when it works, but it crashes frequently.
- A Google user · v1.2.1
Watch a video before you purchase this game. Good idea but there are no animations whatsoever and the enemies dont even face you when attacking lol.

This series is great, easy and fun to play. If you like the old board wargames, you'll love this!
- A Google user · v1.0.3
Although there is still the use of gold in the paid version, there are so many more units available verses the older games.
- A Google user · v1.0.2
Lets roll!! Keeping bringing in the great games :)
