Transformers: Earth Wars Reviews

by Tofu15

Be played this game since Almost day one. 6 years now, and I shouldn’t be surprised by this but everything they do is a $$$$ grab. They release titans into the game, people spend hundreds to get what they describe as end game content. The most powerful thing you can have in the game. Immediately they remove it from multiple game modes. And now most recently they nerfed it, so it useless in wars. Which at this point was the only fun part in the game. Every time a bot becomes super popular in the game and people spend $$$$$$ chasing and leveling that bot, they find ways to make it obsolete. Don’t bother talking to support, cause you get the same answer every time, “we will take it up with the team”. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised they ran Samurai Siege into the ground and are doing a great job of doing the same to Transformers.
And don’t try to start playing now as a free to play player. You will need at least 3 years to catch up to mid level players let alone top players in the game.
It’s a shame it use to be a great game, they have added too many game modes in the last 6months and won’t fix what’s be broken. Optimus Prime broken for 6 straight years!!!!!

I have really enjoyed this game since early on. I’ve played for 2715 days. Crazy I know. I have never reviewed this because I just wasn’t sure what to say that wasn’t said. Well…now I have something and it’s irritating. The game occasionally crashes, which isn’t a big issue until last week. I was upgrading a guy, and as I was in that specific location in the game, it froze. So I rage tapped the screen which we have all done, because I knew what was next…game crash. Sure enough, it crashed…but not until it registered my taps and spent 1 million of a resource (z energon) to upgrade the building. Now when I logged back in, I had no idea it had happened right away. Figured it out and contacted them about the glitch. Basically they said too bad. If I were a whale, theyd likely fix it, but since I’ve only spent a couple hundred, likely I don’t qualify for help. They said they “can’t” fix the issue, but I know a couple big spenders that have had things restored for them. Fun game…not helpful unless you’re a big spender. Likely I’ll start the retirement process soon. Good luck playing and hope you don’t need support.

This starts out being a fun game, but as you start to progress you notice a reoccurring theme. Opposing teams with bots 2x, 3x, and 4x your strength attack your base and defeat you within seconds, taking 30-40 percent of the resources you have spent hours trying to collect to do upgrades. These teams are so much stronger than yours, you have no chance to defeat them. It takes hours to regain what you lose to only have them attack again. These teams are some of the highest ranked teams out there, and some are listed on their hall of fame pages. I contacted customer service only to be told they are aware some of the highest ranking teams prey on teams way below their own level to score easy and high rewards. What is being done to limit this? Nothing. Their advice was to keep trying to try to level up.
Result- hours of frustration trying to gain enough resources to level up only to have it taken by a high ranked team. This has happened up to 3 times a day.
If developers don’t address this issue, don’t bother playing unless you enjoy frustration!!!?X!?!

I’ve written multiple reviews about this game and they are constantly removed. If you look at other people comments you will notice that comment comes up a lot. Don’t spend money on this game. It’s a rip off. They usually give you a duplicate character that you already have and then you end up getting crystal shards and no new transformers. Think of this game as a Micheal Bay transformer movie, it looks cool but it disappoints every time. I’m at a point where I have a few 4 Star transformers after playing for years. I just got a 3 star grimlock, again after playing for years. I’m also at a point where I’m constantly attacked by people that have all their character ranking over 2000 and my resources are wiped out every 6 hours so I can’t build up enough resources to upgrade anything. My highest ranked character is just over 1000, and it’s my only character ranked over a 1000. I think you get the picture. Play for fun but don’t have high expectations. Also their support staff will just tell you we are working on fixing the issues. Again, I highly recommend you don’t spend money on this game. Also read the reviews. They talk about how disappointed they are in the game but they give it a 4-5 star ranking. Sound shady to me. Good luck.

I had played this game about when it came out then picked it up again some weeks ago. Much has changed yet there has also been very little improvement. Support is a joke, game is not time efficient, drop rates are atrocious, and now the development team is fixing to get ready to prohibit its use on older model devices like mine. I’d go out a buy a new device if I could, but it certainly wouldn’t be to keep playing this dreadful game. Space Apes, Hasbro, Activision (when they wrecked their War for Cybertron team), and a number of others (*cough*Micheal Bay*cough*) have ruined what was once an exciting and very engaging series. It was already bad enough trying to find a solid game that could be played online with others, but now I might as well just quit hoping the day will come when one is created. This game isn’t for those who don’t have the time to spend grinding a lot for resources alone and definitely not for those who don’t wish to wait weeks, months, or even years to get a combiner. Your best bet for a nice and steady strategy themed game is to play a game like Lords Mobile. At least that game’s developer takes steps to ensure everyone can play and that it remains somewhat balanced with fairly easy mechanics to learn with a much better unit/hero collection and upgrade system. Think smart before you try this game cause the developers obviously didn’t..

Don’t download this game, it will make you broke, I’ve seen too many have this happen to them. It’s not worth the hassle as they keep nerfing bots or finding ways to make them less effective in wars and events so you will have to spend MORE money on another bot instead. The only way to be competitive is by throwing more money at the game and it never ends. Forget having weekends anymore unless you can spend money, which is what they count on. You either play weekend events all weekend with little to no sleep or you pay money instead. This is every weekend!! There is way too much content going on the game and it is demoralizing for new players as well, which I’ve stressed to Space Ape, but they ignore this because it doesn’t make them money. I do not recommend playing this game ever or any mobile game for that matter that requires you to spend money to be successful at the higher levels. Imagine spending all that money and then the game closes down, you have nothing to show for it. This game preys on people’s addictions sadly and it knows it can manipulate the player base sadly. They dangle “more rewards” for higher weekend events in order to push more spending from players, which leaves mid-tier and lower players out in the cold. Please don’t fall for their schemes. It will be a glorious day when this game closes down!!

I play lots of F2P games, I spend money on all the ones I like, and I liked this one... at first. The first boxes I bought gave me several 4 and 3 star bots (which you need to do anything, 2 star bots get worthless pretty quickly), which seemed appropriate because they cost $20 a piece (which is still very high a price). Then the rewards just stopped coming. Since those first few boxes, I’ve bought maybe 5 more, and 4 of them had ZERO 3 or 4 star bots in them. That means $80 worth of boxes gave me essentially nothing at all worth using. They just gave me duplicate 2 stars, which convert to 3-star shards... so once you get 50 duplicate 2 stars, you get a 3-star. Whoopee.

And unlike other F2P games, their free tier of rewards don’t give you anything useful. At best you’ll get another 2 star bot. You can’t get anywhere in this game unless you spend money, and as others have pointed out, if you don’t spend hundreds of dollars, you still won’t get anywhere. This game is exactly how the F2P system is ruining games. It was a decent, fun game, that ultimately was only designed to completely rip its players off. I’ve uninstalled and gone back to games with decent drop rates instead. Shame on the exploitative jerks who made this game.

by TheSpeedsterBehindYourDaughter

The game has been good so far, upgrades take a little too long and you barely get any cyber coins or whatever their called from quests and level completions, but other than that it’s good I guess, and then all of the “goodness” it has is just ruined by the fuel cells, battles cost 5 fuel cells, and it’s fine when you have a lot of them, but once you finish like 10 battles you have none, and it ruins the gameplay and the actual fun of the game, and they take way too long to refill, I’m currently doing the “Last Knight” event that’s about to end tomorrow and I have more than enough time to get the 1k battle points or whatever, but the fuel cells ruin all the momentum of the excitement of the game, especially when you wanna do the entire story in one play through instead of taking days and doing it in a few hours or whatever, so please make it so battles to use as many fuel cells, you get more fuel cells each time they refill, or just remove them altogether, then the game might be a little more enjoyable

by Gdydhfbhchejiakdjjcnf

Ok, first off this game is kind of a disappointment. When I watched the trailer, I was super excited, but after it was fully downloaded I didn’t get much of a welcome.
I have a pretty decent WiFi modem
And router so I should be fine with Trans, right? Wrong. It took almost an hour to load. And I am not joking, I timed it. After that I thought that would be the end of my problems. Wrong. Again. The game was pretty stupid. All you do is tell you robots to attack and then that’s it. You can’t even control them. It can get worse though, right? WRONG. AGAIN. The updates are trash, and the robots AI levels are so bad. To give an example, you send a transformer out hoping that they will go for the main enemy tower. Instead they go for a stupid little gun tower that barely does any damage😐. Then you send out another transformer. It goes for the stupid little tower😕. Then the stupid tower is destroyed, they can finally destroy the main tower right😃? WRONG. They go for another stupid tower 😳. $&@#!

So I played this game for two years pretty consistently, most mornings got pretty high but it gets ridiculous with the duplicates, it’s hard to get enough shards to get 3 or 4 or even 5 star bots ( never got even one 5 star in over two years of playing ) after while u almost always get duplicates just gets irritating eve: if u buy shards for a certain bot doesn’t mean u will get that boy which is the stupidest thing , I really likes playing it but now I don’t even play it , last 5 times I got enough shards to get a 4* bot it was a duplicate I don’t have that many 4 star bots so seems like wouldn’t get that many dups! I started playing marvel strike force way better game works similar except not as many dups and if u purchase a certain bot with ur real money I expect to get that bot which u do in msf nit in transformers , i would give 5 stars but the duplicates are so so so often I give it 3 stars , at the very least if u buy a certain bot u should get that bot not some random duplicate.

by VeryVERYMadDad

This games drop rate is absolutely horrible. It does not matter if you spend money either, you can quite literally spend $200 on this game, and still not get a combiner. It takes weeks and weeks if not months to save up enough crystal shards to try to get a three or four star bot. And the likelihood it will be a duplicate is ridiculously high. That’s not even touching on the five star bots, which you cannot buy, and are impossible to get. I’ve been playing this game for almost 2 years, and I am about a fourth of the way to attaining 15 star auto bot.
In addition, they only want your money and do not reward you for loyalty at all. My phone crashed in the midst of planning and trying to upgrade one of my auto bots abilities. When I went back into the game, it had spent my coins on the upgrade and stead of my gold. It takes about six months to a year to get 150 to 200 coins. It takes about one battle, or five minutes to get enough gold for me to do the upgrade. It would make absolutely no sense to spend coins on something I could upgrade in five minutes. But even after talking via email with them, they refused to reverse the mistake. Just want you to buy more coins.
The gameplay is fun, the nostalgia is great.
The drop rate and money grabbing is pathetic.

by Hexcraft48

Game is really good as there are multiple series regarding collecting characters and using them in battle. The endless abilities and detail on the characters are absolutely amazing and accurate in a way that makes the game really enjoyable. A few good aspects is that the game is focused on strategy, and that the base building and collecting of characters truly makes it very unique from other games, and that the new feature regarding clans makes it so team based; allowing everybody to contribute toward events. Some factors that made me not give it five stars is that the game is focused on spending money; to the point where players cannot progress as much than the players who spent countless dollars on the game. And that the communication system can be made a bit better. A few suggestions is to lower the progression so that it’s not relied on spending money and that you should do something with the communication system with other players and clan members.

by Critfairly

It’s a little different then those of the same type. It’s really cool you can get all these transformers, also you get to shoes which side to use and make your base that type but you are also able to collect and fight with and build up the opposing faction to that of which you chose. So you can collect and use auto bots and decepticons to fight with, but not mixed in the same battle. The only downside is that it’s a bit slow and takes a massive amount of grinding. Even with money it takes a lot of time and effort and they do not make it easy to get the combiners and 4 star bots, which is good because it gives you an edge when you do get the, but it’s not just uncommon or rare it’s like super rare to roll a four star or a long time to get the resources to build a random four star, also the resources are a bit tough to build up and takes a bit and you need a lot to get to end game.

by Cos111273

The details that were put in each Transformer shows the passion of the creators to the game. The game pay homage to G1 and the new Hasbro CW toy line!
I specially love the details on the transformation and how each step is how u would actually perform them.
The game play at first takes some time to get use but can be picked up after playing several games, which in my opinion is hard to put down.
The only thing I hope they can improve on is how u can control each Transformer. Its almost like once they are set to battle they follow a straight line to attack and destroy.
All in all you will be using real money if you wan to really get further in the game though to het higher rank Transformers. New bots is scarce here even though you spend hundreds. I ve played the game for a while and stopped purchasing. I still play as I love the nostalgic of the game, but not spend any longer until SpaceApe fix the lottery ctap

by Jose Smith Jr

This game is very fun for anyone who likes transformers or mobile games, especially both. It is a cross between clash of clans and transformers, and I love playing it. The game has so many objectives and characters that there is always something to do. But, there are a few flaws. For starters, there is a power cell system that only lets you play while you have power cells. You lose five every battle and have a maximum of 50. You recharge 1 power cell every 5 minutes. That means you will be waiting to play more than actually playing. Especially because you have to recharge characters as well as power cells. If they removed one of these energy systems (preferably the power cells) than it would allow us to play it more and have more fun using it. But, despite this, it is very fun and would recommend downloading it no matter what you are into.

This game is great! Don’t listen to the ungrateful people that wrote horrible reviews. Don’t be sad that you don’t get a bot you want! Just be patient and soon you’ll have it! Remember not to use money to get a bot and have a great time playing!😃 The game is made to play not to spend money💰 on bots or cons. Now get the game the game... I MEAN NOW!!!😡 Ok then if you need more convincing... you can have Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet🚑, Arcee, Jazz, and I can’t even name them all! You can have cons like MEGATRON and STARSCREAM!!! And if your a girl and your not sure if you want it there’s Arcee (BOT) Slipstream (CON) and you know what I’m not going to tell you so I don’t spoil it. Games weren’t made to get and then have everything right away! They’re made to have fun and unlock things. And the bots and cons that aren’t that good your supposed to play with them to make them better and research them so they can get even better! I hope that’s enough convincing thank you for reading this you guys! Or youse guys or y’all.

Since I've been playing this game, it's a blast collecting autobots or decepticons, building your own base, and fighting your rivals. The only thing I don't like about the game, is the prices of the crystal bundles. Ever since people have been buying the bundles it makes them pay lots of money for the game because of the prices so maybe if you're alright you can lower the prices to make it easier for them. A idea for the game is making a campaign on two bots, rattrap and terasaur they make good rivals and here are some abilities that you might use. Rattraps ability, bomb shells: Rattrap throws in 4 gernades dealing 540 damage and causes burning after dealing 15 damage for 4 sec each. Terasaurs ability, long shot: Terasaur unleash his might by firing four shots of his deadly shoulder cannons causing 580 damage to the battlefield and burning it to cause 15 damage for 4 sec each. Just a prediction

by The Bot Collector

I have been playing this game for about 2 years and I have to say it’s a great game!

have nearly all the Decepticons and starting to collect Autobots without making a single purchase.

The gameplay is like clash of clans but every unit you spawn has its own special ability.

Then there’s the combiners, later in the game when you have a team of specific 3-star bots you can unlock a combiner like Devastator, Bruticus, or Menasor.

I like how you can see every transformer models and their transformations almost all of them have satisfying transformations.

This game is still being updated with new transformers, Combiners, and content. Overall this game is amazing.

A tip for trying to unlock transformers is to unlock dispatch missions: send a team of transformers away temporary, come back a day later and they return with a chest. These consist of spark, power-ups, and most importantly premium shards. Small chest give 1,000 and medium give 3,000. You only need 1,000 to get a crystal which can be used to summon a new transformer. I normally wait till I have 10 crystals to raise my chance to get a rarer transformer. So far this strategy has worked very well and I hope this helps.

In summary I believe this is a brilliant idea for a mobile game and has been very addicting to play.

by IronBear67

if I pay you my hard earned money for a specific bot, I don’t want a chance of getting said bot, I want the bot I just paid for. Not, oh you paid for some orange juice, here’s some Hawaiian Punch instead. No, consumers want what they pay for. If we want to gamble we’ll go to the casino. This shouldn’t be trying to play on human weaknesses I.e gambling, impatience and impulse buying. I get it. It’s a business, so if you want a marketing tip, check out social point game developer. They know how to run a business well. They actually give you what you pay for, I know so silly right? Other than that I love the game play and the team player I play with. back flip, space ape please fix this, people will buy more of they actually get what they want, also add a second third heck even a forth slot to the research chamber. Waiting days to switch out one bot is getting lame, stop being lame

by Darktick

This game is fun but the developers are crap!!! They don't care about the customers or pleasing the customers to keep them playing. All they want is more money and they scam you anyway they can! Their crystal bundles are a joke with the percentage of getting anything but a 2 star is horribly low. You have better odds in Vegas to win then on this game! The Chinese have banned this game in their country and created their own which actually is the same game but they treat the customer better. They have daily sign in which net you nice stuff along with still getting the daily crystals. They bundles are cheaper plus the odds of getting something good is extremely high. If you get this game don't buy anything play it f2p but it will only get you do far without getting the good 4 star bots. I'm other words don't pay them anything period!

I have been playing since this game came out. I quit for a while then started playing again. Ever since I have come back, the game now takes forever to load. Once loaded, I’ll do a Battle and the game will crash. Reload game, the game will either say battle interrupted. Will resume at the battle. I try to do another battle, game crashes. Reload again, collect rss game crashes. Reload again, go to pick my team, game crashes. I try to wait a while reload game, it crashes. There is nothing wrong with my internet, clear cache, deleted game and reinstalled with all still having the same problem. Game crashes!! Tried to open on 3 other devices on separate servers but still game crashes no matter what I do. I have yet heard anything from support. I quit spending money cause of this issue. Love the game but this is frustrating and tiring. When will it ever get fixed!!!!! Just did a 30 minute trial, game crashed 10 times.

by Jtiypku

I have been playing for about 2 years. It is a lot of fun, but takes a LOT of work/ time to improve bots and bases. I wish you could level up a single bot instead of having a star rating. OR be able to sell lower level bots for at least building materials. I have a ton of 2 star bots that aren't worth putting any effort into now that I have 3/4 star bots. It is also true a 5 star bot is nearly impossible unless you make this game a full time job. I also wish that you could pick what bot to unlock after you have 20+ bots of a certain star level. Drop rates are tough and spending real money really only buys you a lotto ticket and nothing guaranteed. Even a p2p player would have to spend a LOT and get lucky to really get what they were looking for. If you are a p2p, do a big chunk up front in the beginning because duplicates are highly likely but do help in gearing up your bots. In general I love the game and the nostalgia and will keep playing for the foreseeable future!

by Life'saJourney

It’s an amazing game! I absolutely love it! I love the fact that it includes transformers from different continuations, including Beast Wars! Which is my second favorite continuation, second to Transformers Armada. Armada just had so many stupid gimmicks that were soooo stupidity hilarious.
However, I do wish for you guys to add more bots from the Transformers Armada continuity. Including Armada Optimus Prime, which is Armada Megatron’s true nemesis, not G2 Laser Optimus Prime. I also wish for minicons from the Unicron Trilogy (Transformers Armada, Transformers Energon, Transformers Cybertron) to become collectible characters within the game as well! Maybe they can function much like the c.o.m.b.a.t system, but instead the minicons could be partners in which you have to equip to a cybertronian from the squad ship in your base? It’s just an idea. I really want the Titan transformers to be collectible characters as well. I also want the Beast War combiners Magnaboss and Tripredacus added to the game, and for both Autobot and Decepticon combiners to be accessible from the combiner lab no matter what faction you chose at the start of the game. Other than those few opinions and desires, this is a great game. This is an excellent example of a great game and I really hope to see more games like this. Keep up with the amazing work guys and I hope to see more amazing updates and games from you!

by Zach Nelden

i love this game so much, its very addicting and super fun, i have been playing for about eight months and it has been great i love all the characters and nostalgia from the 80’s as it makes me remember my childhood. I have a few suggestions, one that there should be more of the story modes, like perhaps a certain war where your troops just fight other troops and you could deploy multiple combiners/titans and have like ten instead of eight transformers. It could be like a war offensive to change it up from just attacking bases. The two other things i think would be that you could get a six star of some guys but just a select few, not a ton to really show how hard it is and it would only be available by playing no buying, another idea is either have up to hq 20 or be able to play a conquest mode where you destroy the base that is a cpu and then take it over and build that up. These are so you can keep being able to use the resources and get more characters so the game is forever. Just some ideas to widen the span of the game, love this game and want it to be even better

by Tarn From Kaon

If you like transformers then you will like the game. After all that's what the game is about "Transformers ". However since the game is about transformers why not spend a little of your hard earned $$ to get by our favourite bot? Well that spot the way this game works. From the bugs and randomness of the game you be other except it or move on. Bugs range from abilities bot working right to plain old bathing problems. Bots will wonder off or will attack walls. Better still is the commander setting a rush point and the bots totally ignore it. The bots "appear" when you get a crystal and pop it in tge space bridge. Well 1% of tge time you will get a bit you need. The others are duplicate or just some crap you already have. Free crystals give you more boosts than the usable stuff and the way the system works you are better off just not using them because they do not help in war. Some people will read this and say this person is way off but I played 3 years before I finally just gave it up adept this review. No more of my time or $$ on this game. So do yourself a favour and go to another game.

by Remove Fuel Cells

Okay so I’ve been playing this game for about a year right now and the game is really fun I mean cuz to be honest it’s one of the only good transformers games on Trans Store but I had an Idea so everyone know when your an autobot faction you can use ONLY Autobots till hq 9 which then you unlock deceptacons to also use to fight me personally I don’t really mind. But here’s the thing with combiners when you unlock the combiner lab and you are an autobot faction you have only the autobot combiners even if you have deceptacons unlocked it does not matter. That kinda and really does bother me because I don’t know why but would it be better if you have the deceptacons unlocked and you have the combiner lab I fell like you should be able to use the deceptacon combiners. Plus the fact that you can’t use autobot combiners even if you activate it and go on a deceptacon team you can’t use it. I’m not saying combiners are everything or that we need it bad, I’m just saying that if your an autobot faction and you have the deceptacons unlocked you should in fact have access to the deceptacon combiners but you don’t, once again I’m just saying it’s a cool and fun type of idea. Other than that nothing really bothers me.

I have been playing this game for over two years. I had created and still command a team for more than half that time. I have never been expectant with drop rates. Yes many dupes, but this game is really for patience, skill development, and building a community with fellow players. Yes there are boneheads out there too, but once you hit level 4 HQ, find a good team. You can have a lot of fun playing with others or solo. I have spent money on resources and crystals early on and realized the waste of it. Fuel and coin bundles for events have been more valuable. But I spend sparingly. You dont have to drop money everytime you play, and patience is the best when you are a little short on enrgon or alloy to upgrade something. Go raid... lol... yes grinding can be monotonous, so pace yourself and remember the real world responsibilities, as it's easy, very easy, to get sucked in on a team event where players are trying to outscore each other or hit a minimum ASAP. The events and the wars and now RAIDS offer much need resources. Choose wisely, play patiently, and remember it is only a game. And a quite cool one in fact. The effects and details are phenominal. And if you are looking for an autobot team, find STOMP. Let them know you saw this review and N3 sent you. That's me.

This is my review on transformers earth wars i am a big fan of transformers and when I looked in my AppStore 2 years ago I flipped this game is amazing to me so I know that I am not the only transformer freak out there I get to bond with friends and me as a commander it gets me so excited to have someone join my Alliance and meet them I love the characters in this game the design is amazing and right know at this rate this game is going up ever since you guys started the wars are amazing just to see how these great characters function it really goes back to what they used to look like in G1 and transformers .the movie thank you guys so much for making this game and putting so much detail and thought you guys have succeeded and I am hoping to see a transformers earth wars 2 or way more characters in the one you maid. Thank you for listening. From AMARI .

A terrible gaming clash of clan look like . I wrote that sentence because clash of clans, when launching it does not get stuck in loading screen after repeatedly launching and a day after the suppose fix on the support forum. The problem returns, if you were “aware” of this problem , should of fix earlier. Signing in or out of gamecenter just to get past the loading screen . I compare this game to clash of clans cause of the building bases that can be attack by other players while having units that support the theme that is being presented . In Trans has no problem with gamecenter being login in order to launch Trans , this should not be the case with Transformers Earth Wars. As the title in this review is plague of crashing and freezing, it is why I gave it one star.
