Mini Militia - Doodle Army 2 Reviews

by BriBittyBri

Back when this game was still new and very little people knew about it, this game was fun. I downloaded for myself and my cousins for all of us to play. That was years ago. Whatever this update was, absolutely ruined everything I loved about the game. I just remembered about this game while looking through old memories and decided that I’d give it a try again. The moment I got into the game, there was no tutorial, so you are complete lost for yourself and forced to play a public lobby, which is an actual dumb way of getting new players used the controls. Everything seems to be Pay To Win in this, and the edition of loot crates and upgrading guns is a cash grab in itself. The balance of it too in a lobby is God awful, the first game I hopped into, I was being shot at learning how to swap guns. What a way to teach the player the basic mechanics of the game. Everything feels so limited and beyond a pay wall, there is no sense of freedom or choice. If I recall, in the past, the way to buy some clothes was through a pay-wall as well, and that was fine. The difference here is that it’s no longer just buying them directly, it’s currency to gamble for skins in loot-boxes. It honestly hurts how much the game changed for the worst.

From me and the community, you rammed the game into the ground.

It’s not all skill based any more, and that’s dumb. Maybe if there needed to be something to buy, it could be skins, something that doesn’t give you an advantage for paying money and playing more. Kind of like Fortnite. While I’m not a fan of that game, they got that part right.

The new layout isn’t bad, but it looks kind of childish to me, and I preferred the old layout. It could have definitely used remodeling, but I would’ve liked something a little more like the old style.

Also, when I got a new phone, I lost all my progress. I backed up my old phone and put the data on here, and I had an account through Facebook, but none of my progress made it here through either way.

I’m only giving MiniMilitia 2 stars because of the memories, if it weren’t for those I would have given it 1. After playing from around 2012, this update for the game has completely ruined the whole original experience. So much so that I decided to write my first app review on it. The fact that this update disrespected so many original players and instead decided to reach out to younger kids and exploit them for money disgusts me. Thank you for the many great years, but I am going to have to uninstall MiniMilitia . I will never respect a game company that cares more about money than the people who truly love their game. You’ve turned what was once a game that so many people loved into a greedy money-making machine. I would wish you all the best, but I know that you have little respect for us original players so I doubt you’ll ever read this.
Goodbye-
Mini Militia OG, presto

Welp. I only play this game on and off now for nostalgia. But in the past, I used to religiously play this when I was younger. Kind of a shame to see the layout and the predatory micro transactions to “upgrade weapons”??? I feel like I opened any other mobile game in 2019 with the big stupid colorful buttons with bold white text, but that’s another story. It’s a big slap in the face to all the other genuine players and supporters of the game to be hyped by a highly anticipated update only to be severely disappointed. As of this review, I’ve been playing this game since around 2012 and to be honest this game did not come too far lol. But it was the charm and simplicity of the old game design that really attracted me in the first place. Now that this game has become severely pay to win (well, it kinda was a bit before too) it’s just a big turn off. Thank you for all the good times chad towns, but I’m signing off for now.

Before the new update all of our friends used to play offline using hotspot and wifi. We started playing it in 2015 till the latest update. For 5 years we played it everyday. But now ? None of us are playing. Not a single person. Update is okay but the popularity of this game has lost after new update. New update is the worst thing ever happened in this game. In the era of pubg and free fire people still played the mini militia but after the update ??? Its all gone. I hope you can earn money for which you have destroyed the game. But remember , money comes from the people who play it regularly, if you dont have any gamers anymore , how can you generate money ??? I will give another review after 5 years (if this game exists in MiniMilitia store, chances are zero) and explain that why your game means nothing anymore .

I loved this game until it was updated. I purchased the Pro Pack long before the update, but despite the game telling me that my Pro Pack items would be usable in the new update, I lost access to most of the weapons and outfits. The game also deleted my custom control layout, my match statistics; it’s a wonder my kill/deaths and rank are still what they were before the update.

Also, on a less personal note, the game is less enjoyable now that it has been updated. The old matchmaking system was more easily navigable and looked less stupid. Additionally, now the game is filled with interface buttons for in-app purchases that were previously neatly tucked away. Mini Militia went from a simple, fun shooter game to a purchase-hungry, almost childish-looking game that isn’t fun anymore.

Can confirm hackers/modders(Can insta-kill, walk through walls, have everything purchasable and for now can be killed)still exist even after 1 day of this big update which I think other reviewers have said how they feel about it, which I agree with.

In a nutshell, this has become a pay-to-win(P2W) system compared to every other version of MiniMilitia by adding loot boxes, premium currency, buying guns, and buying upgrades for those guns. All of these are horrible ideas especially when the pro pack we purchased before this update, literally does not do anything in this version, as if I was scammed.

This game is still partially enjoyable but the new physics, loss of items, and worst of all, the match making system, makes this game unbearable to look at or play. It feels like an entirely different game. The only thing that’s good about this update is the main menu UI. Other than that, it’s trash. Overall, I don’t recommend this game to anyone atm or until they make it more like the previous versions, just with slightly more content that’s not like what we see atm.

Visual updates are great with the new load in and everything.

Been on this game for 7-8 years and most updates have been good adding new weapons and maps. But unfortunately this new update has complete killed the game. It may bring new players, but you lost a lot of loyal ones in the process. And I mean a lot. This has completely changed the mechanics of the game. It has made it almost unenjoyable to play. I went into a game excited for the new update to find out I can’t even dual wield??? Pathetic considering I paid for the pro pack previously.

This update alone could have just been a different game. It’s just following all the other successful games into paying to win and with the crate system. This game WAS unique now it’s basic and awful. You cannot even create custom games where communities were generated from. Y’all have lost a big portion of your player base due to this update. It is not fun to play anymore, not because of the new features you added, but the complete change of how you play the game.

I am sad to say after 7-8 years of playing, I will definitely not be returning to this game at this state.

Whenever i try to play online i get an error message or either it takes forever to load. And after i get in the match all players lag really bad. This game took a toll after the update. Why do we have to re buy our weapons to upgrade them when they were already good pre patch. What was the point of buying “Pro Pack” if we’re going to get it taken away. Everything in this game is based on “Pay To Win” and it’s unfortunate. The only map that is popular is “Outpost” and all the other maps have low player counts for it to even be enjoyable to play. They should bring back the old style where you can just join a lobby and all maps rotate based on player selection.

I really like this game a-lot but there are hackers in this game it makes me feel really mad cause they threw multiple bombs, can’t die, and they use the two double weapons that aren’t upgraded in the game like the shotgun and the rocket gun it makes me feel unfair and people say to report people but I didn’t see the report button on it so I click on there names and nothing happen so I will like to report people of there hacking or banned them(I don’t like doing this)and I have problems with the game I keep glitching and people or teleporting and I think it’s glitching or there is a bug plz fix it!! THANK YOU!!!!

This game is great, i really just want to say that i have had been investing in this game for quite some time now and i still do believe that how it was back then with servers was so much better! I do love the battle passes but what are they for once you have every weapon.. also i think that we should be able to get more xp the more kills we get, it is always the same score… i use to love being able to upgrade my jet pack and having a golden pistol every time i respawn.

by Jjjjjjjjjjooooooeeeeee

This is a real good improvement but there are some things that bother me. What about the bullet shield!!!! And why do we need to unlock things to customize our characters? I feel like that’s a little unnecessary. I do like that you can unlocked the other guns with just playing the game instead of just paying for them. But can you please make like a reward/challenge system where if you complete the challenge you get like a gun or at least a trial for a certain period of time(I recommend like 2-3 day trials). Overall I really like what you’ve done and I think it’s great.

I like the new upgrade cause you can open crates upgrade weapons and add friends and awesome stuffs like that but the game has some glitches which I’m not happy with first you get stuck under the ground and for me it’s impossible to get out unless I commit suicide and also when I swipe up or down it takes me out of the game when I’m winning or in the middle of the game and also I don’t like the game much as people can easily quit a match when losing I would love to to upgrade it in a way that when you start a match you can’t leave until it’s over thanks I hope this problems is solved and the upgrade is added then the game would be more fun and interesting thanks

by Sarabethpa

It’s a very good game and every time I check on it it’s better but when you try to go into a game it takes awhile to find a match. I know this is not the games fault that there aren’t that many players but it’s annoying that you can’t play some maps because there isn’t players on them. You also can’t play team death match because nobody plays teams. The last thing is that you can kill your teammate and nothing happens to you. You should make it so you both die or something.

This game was THE GAME when I was 10. I loved playing it and talking to my friends about it. I remember when I finally got the premium I was soo excited. I learned all of the old glitches and stuff from other players and the community was awesome! I was actually really good. But today when I came back I was shocked. I didn’t have my old character and everyone is weird. The only nostalgia was the music. I know you guys can change it back to the old way and still make money.

We have clans in Da2 that people make themselves and put in their names. But wouldn't it be awesome if they made an actual clan section to search a clan and see the real members in it? And when you have it in your name it will show something? (color,logo, or if you click on it, it will do one of those two). You make it easier for us so we can also have clan wars, that will definitely get me addicted and every other da2 player addicted as well. This will definitely attract more players and improve the population of the amazing game tremendously! Thank you.

Hi Chad Towns if you see this review please remove it because this new update has ruined my experience playing like when I bought pro pack before you made the update, and the fact you took everybody’s pro pack that people spent their money on and get it took away and you have to buy cash that literally can’t be earned and only bought using money. This has also ruined lots of others experiences playing, also the fact where we had dual wield with the pro pack and that you have to buy it just makes it worse I have played it since I was six years old. Please let us have our money back or let us use our pro packs we spent our money on and remove this update.

Well this game is fun and there’s many hackers is enjoy playing mini militia but we should stop them that’s right they’ve added report button but is not working at custom game (rooms) but at play online and quick play is working but when i report it, it quests me:Do you want to report this player? And i answer:Yes. But the question removes and nothing happens it looks they didn’t add it, REALLY! You don’t believe me? Try It. And you’ll see nothing happens whatever they should fix it and make reporting button are enabled in all matches and report is working whatever when a normal player reports hacker player and they saw he/she is a hacker player and finally ban the players (Not Banning at match) Banning Player at their accounts Forever For They don’t do this again! That’s Advice Please Do it If Normal Players Hear That Fixed They’ll be happy Very MUCH!

This game has a lot of potential, and has a great thing for fast-paced matches.

One thing I can think of is adding more Survival maps for single player or at least make the one map bigger with more diversity, the survival gamemode is really fun and it needs some attention

Although, the level up system for the arsenal is not too great since certain upgrades can make a gun that does a lot of damage by default to do so much damage that a single blast from 5 meters can wipe out a player, unlike the shotgun which needs to be mostly close range for it to do that kind of damage.
