Trench Warfare 1917 WW1 Remake Reviews

So when I first played the game, I was very excited to play this game for the first time, and the details are better, including the animations. However, there’s a BIG BIG BIG problem with this game. I’ve been playing TW:1917 for 4 years, and I was excited for TW 2. However, when I tried doing sandbox, instead of having all decor unlocked, you have to use a 8 dollar transaction JUST to get all decor, in which, literally (almost) all decor items require the full version to just use all of em. You have to watch a(n) ad just to unlock 1 decor. This is what ruined the aspect of TW. There was also the fact that there were upgrades and more micro transactions. This is what disappointed me with ya devs. The legacy was a lot more better, and it was giving more fun. Thanks for reading, and please respond. Also, the new TW:2 main menu theme sounds off beat with the original TW:1917 main menu theme song. You also showed some other unit skins in the store images, including the trailer, but theres only UK and Germany. Again, thanks for reading, and please respond

The game looks amazing, in terms of looks and it just seems more polished and simply an upgrade. It’s more in debt by being able to upgrade troops and such which is really cool to me because it gives me something to invest in…? If that makes any sense. I also noticed there’s WAYYY more placable objects you can put down in the sandbox mode and I hope there’s more. The ONLY thing that I would necessarily complain about and just a pet peeve of mine is how soldiers can just run through the barbed wire, it never made sense to me personally and I get it’s a game but barbed wire played a huge part in ww1 and being able to run through it in this game is just strange to me. A feature in the future to make troops stop in between trenches seems awesome too! Instead of just charging from one trench to another or you call in a tank without infantry support and it keeps charging at the enemy trench. But overall the game is a complete upgrade :)

Was looking forward to this ever since I found out there was going to be a remake so today that it was released I downloaded it I open it up and I open up sandbox the most fun part of the game in my opinion main reason why I play the game and I see all of the cool features locked behind a payment wall I was really hoping that wasn’t going to happen and that is probably why this game is not gonna be a successful as the first one and probably why I’m not going to have it download it for long. It’s such a shame they had to put most the features a payment wall I understand having to make money, but taking fun and creativity in the game is not going to keep people attracted to the game. I really hope the lock on things in sandbox are removed. And a different thing is found to add to premium.
Until then, my rating is three out of five stars I probably won’t play this game much at all unless they change this.

I am very impressed and I love the passion that these developers have put into this game. If you like trench Warfare, This game is everything you need and more! And one thing that I love being someone who loves learning is that they represented the campaigns as actual battles and even listed the months and years that the battle had taken place. This is is important to me because games can be fun and teach you something. Overall the game is fun just as the first, and I can tell that they have passion for WW1 and am excited for Future Updates. I have never left a review before but this is one game I am willing to support because not only do they make it fun, they elevate it into something more fun to progress through and have historical background.

This game is amazing I love every part of it but I would like to give some suggestions. One of them is add a zeblin or blimp I think I spelled it right but it flys close to the ground dealing mass damage but is easy to kill but can only be killed by anti air unit or artillery or heavy machine gun. I know this game is still a work in progress but I would love to see that in the future. Also naval battles would be cool to and air battles. I also think I found a bug in one of the British campaign were it says a large battalion of Briitish soldier are coming wait till they stop. It was spelled briitish instead of British but I think it meant German because they were German units. Well this is very good and I can’t wait to wright another review have a great day.

I love this game! I already played through it and plan to explore the sandbox mode. I completely finished the first one and was so hype to see the release!

I had some questions tho..
1.) will there be more campaigns with other nations?

2.) why aren’t the AI given the ability to call in support? (Gas for Germany is super OP and it’s a shame the AI doesn’t use that on you)

3.) the sandbox AI regardless of starting price and increase will always spawn way more than you allow, is that a bug or just the way it is?

4.) will there be an increase in difficulty? My only guess for the absence of AI support weapons is that it could make the game increasingly difficult. I know players like myself would enjoy a more immersed mode that includes gas attacks from German AI or artillery attacks to draw you out. Would be very cool.

All in all these games are my fav iOS games, keep up the great work!

I thought this was just going to be a lazy remake but I was wrong. I have only played 10 levels and I am seriously impressed! The graphics were expected to be better but the map designs have so much detail compared to the previous game. To the famous trenches of the western front from the forgotten battles like the beach landings of ww1. The sound design is so much better, It immerses you. The units and animations are so much better. The levels are even more fun with a new map and historical battle to play every time. The historical accuracy is perfect the guns,uniforms, and units immerse you. It’s a great game for history buffs such as myself and casual players too. The UI is great and I can’t say this is the same game. I have only spend about 15 minutes in the game and there’s so much more to be discovered.

Complaints: I am not really fond of the in app purchases but it’s not that big of a deal. I understand that you guys need to make money.

Suggestions: I think you guys should make the game more violent. At least one death animations was copied from the last game. Like add dismemberment or more blood.

Besides that I highly recommend.

I love it and the new content is great but the campaigns are only two not like the older one where you can start straight off as Ottoman Empire or something. Also you should add a community map player mode so that people can play other peoples maps! Also A lot of stuff that makes map editor fun is behind a pay wall. (I haven’t played through the WHOLE game so my opinion will be invalid, I hope not)

I was really excited for this game. Checking TrenchWarfare1917WW1Remake Store each day for any progress on the game’s development. That being said, I have played for some time now, and it’s kind of a let down.

To start us off, I really enjoy the lighting system on the gunfire and better graphics and building system. But that is where the goods end for now.

Second, the premium system. I get that you need money too and not everything can be free, but seeing that almost all of the stuff in the sandbox you either have to watch an add or pay for, it hurts to see. On top of that, I would be fine if it were just a few items or purely cosmetic. But the premium or add service you have takes over almost all of the items! Like I said, it is acceptable for you to need money, but not acceptable to put almost everything behind an add or paywall. That being said, I still like the
game despite the turn-off the premium thing gave me. Best of luck for this game’s future.

This game is ASWOME!!! But, this game missed some things. Like, the gas that the Germans used in WW1 would take a second to kill. The gas would just make the host really really sick and make them cough up parts of internal organs and bleed through their mouth and other places, but in this game they almost die instantly. But it is definitely a step up from this first game.

I’m just gonna say we’re all thinking this game has a great remake. I think they do need to add some more armies because but it just released, so yeah but I feel like logging stuff behind a pay wall is pretty bad but I get it it’s a remake you gotta do what you gotta do to make some money, but honestly I really like your games I love trench war 1914 what is the best game in my opinion that’s made but it’s just kind of bland right now and I don’t like the wall great game though

Ok I am already addicted to this game, and I know it just released but I wanted to comment on a few things. First. I’m not a big fan of premium, I understand that people gotta make money, but I love making my own maps but I cant have much variety without buying premium. And quick note, I had a glitch after I made my own map, the whole screen turned black or white when I try to start a game. Other than that I love the game

I waited for this game and I was expecting something like the original, and it is like the original, but it’s just not a good game like the original was, where did online levels go? Also I don’t like how you have to buy something to unlock most features in sandbox mode, but it is kinda enjoyable until you finish the campaigns, which there’s only two of, to be fair it is the first version and I shouldn’t expect a full game like the original when it’s a remake from the ground up

Been a long time fan of the games. Big upgrade very promising lots of features we wanted they added, definitely not of finished product missing corks and screws but great potential. More factions, items troops etc, all of which I’m sure will come in time…. I hope the game is long-term support from developers and the community.

The new graphics compared to the predecessor is crazy. It may not have as much gameplay as the original does at the moment. The graphics and different mechanics make up for the less gameplay. Including the new campaign UI looks great and functions better than the predecessor. An over all great remaster, keep up the work developers.

I would highly recommend this pixelated 2D video game to anyone who is a fan of World War One or history in general. The developers have done an excellent job in creating a masterpiece of a sequel, and their efforts are clearly visible in the game's detailed graphics and gameplay. I would rate this game a perfect 10 out of 10, and I am sure it will be a great addition to any gamer's collection.

When i first stumbled across this game, i thought i was just playing yet another ww1 game. but i was very wrong, this game is my fav ww1 game in the world. from the crazy amount of customization in the sandbox, or the crazy and epic campaign. this game has everything you want in a game. thank you so much to the devs and please make more updates and games like this!

This game is truly one of the best for down time for sure. The inner strategist in me finds it amazing to endure and conquer the battlefields already!

I hope in the future, for the Sandbox, they make it to where you can put soldiers on the battlefield prematurely, like how some campaigns do.

Other then that, game is 100% worth it, thank you guys!

I’m really enjoying the ability to upgrade troops and the new terrains. I thought the hay bales in the British campaign was fun and unique.

I have noticed some spelling errors and very mild frame loss when the germans step on mines. Other than that, the experience so far has been smooth sailing and enjoyable.

Played the first one and it always came clutch when i needed to pass time, new movement and layout is nice, now the bullets actually hit a target instead of lines just being thrown across the screen, keep it up :) hope to see more games

Not to get the wrong idea but this game is awesome I just I love the upgradable army and how the story is more interactive and how the visuals are better however it just needs more gameplay in the campaign and even then I’ll probably beat it all and be to lazy to build with the weird sandbox mechanics but in the old game yes it was still fun this one is better though the old one had a good idea on the sandbox on letting other people upload their worlds and maps and I feel like that is a need in this new game and a lot more of the new game you have to buy but if you let people upload their work they can keep playing unlimited levels and stay attached I don’t know about any of you but this seems like a problem to fix not enough game time

I had played the previous one in my free time, it was good, then I heard this one was being made and I was kinda hyped. The missions are hard, upgrading is a cool addition, and I’m happy I can change how much money you gain in sandbox. But if I may make a suggestion, I would like you to add the ability to put soldiers in the sandbox. Like there are levels where there are riflemen there before you start but I was disappointed when I couldn’t do that in sand box in the old and new game, so if you could, please add placable soldiers in sandbox

It’s a good game but needs some work I do understand it is a new game remake the so it’s going to get worked on but I will address something’s for my opinion
First the sandbox I don’t like that you have to pay for stuff but you need money to run a game and so on I wish that you could chose if the enemy used bombs and gas
2 I obviously don’t know what you have planed but as you add more nations to be playable please uses their flag form WW1 as it just look/make more sense
3 Take your time please I’d like a game that doesn’t glitch
Other then what I said it’s a great game and I can over look a lot of the bad

I shall only give a short summary, however, I really do love this game. My favorite aspect is the sandbox, which allows me to make a lot of different scenes. I would give this game five stars if there was that beach scene which was shown in the trailer, and more countries, which I’m assuming will be added on as time goes on. Other than that, this is one of my favorite games!

Just one question, it the campaign it says the French are coming soon, could you possibly put respond about when they come out? I’m part French and they have some of my favorite WWI uniforms and designs. Thanks for reading!

I really like it, though there is no online map making yet, it will probably come later. Better campaigns, animations, and overall better gameplay! And there is one part that costs money, but you don’t have to buy it, also, they kinda need money because it is a free game. I can not express my hype the last few weeks waiting for this version to release! Good job!

I have a bug I encountered while playing, I was doing a flamethrower charge and when I called the retreat button to go back the flamethrower guys that where shooting got stuck and stayed in place while the other guys went back, so if you don’t mind the time it doesn’t really matter if you fix it or not but if you have the time.

This game is a huge improvement from the last in both graphics and performance. The 8 dollar micro transaction isn’t really that annoying because it’s worth it to create new battlefields and such. The campaign is fun but I prefer sandbox because of the customization. The game as a whole is still pretty similar to the last. Some things I find really impressive are the fact soldiers are now slowed down by wire, the treads on tanks actually move, and many other small details like those. I don’t have any complaints really, but it could be a little different from the last. There are some things though I think would be really cool if you add. These aren’t complaints by the way just some suggestions. Maybe when two soldiers get really close to each other one of them pulls out a shovel and kills the other with a swing. Or maybe they could bayonet. Also when tanks cross trenches you could make them fall into the trench and drive back out. Also when soldiers are near ditches they should lay down in them for cover. I’m aware that video game development isn’t that easy, but if you can do at least one of these, please put them in the game. All of these would highly benefit your game. It has a lot of potential just like the last. Especially because this is a remake and you can do anything with it. Great game!

So it is the same but it’s a little bit more advance because like in the last one when they should’ve bullet, it just goes straight but now you can actually see the bullet goes and hits the target, which is good and the walking movement is great but no offense to the person who made this but the Walkman was kind of weird in the other one. It was just flopping there legs around while running this one it actually looks like they’re running a little bit and we have chapters which is really cool I’m still in the British part right now. Really actually good. And a another feature. you can upgrade your soldiers in every round you play and you win you win money or coins whatever and you can spend it on your soldiers and they can get upgraded for better health range and I think speed I don’t know I don’t wanna get one that’s really really good this is my review right now so this game is actually good

The level creator is a massive improvement from the first game, however there are things in the campaign levels that you can’t do in sandbox; mixing terrain, playable soldiers, and the behavior of the enemy team. I know your able to choose the type of soldier and their order for both teams, but your unable to choose the amount or even when the enemy team stops sending soldiers. I would also like to be able to choose a 0% money increase, or even different game modes like king of the hill. A cool suggestion would be able to place intractable terrain for the AI; barriers like walls, craters, ponds, making current place-ables like tank wrecks barriers. A place-able like a neutral bunker or house that a soldier could use would also be interesting. The possibilities are endless… as long as your getting paid enough.

The game is amazing compared to all the other click bait games in TrenchWarfare1917WW1Remake Store nowadays. I have played and beaten both British and German campaigns and just loved how challenging it was mixed with some strategy behind it. There are so many positives to this game: graphics, animation, game play, strategy so it’s hard to come up with any negatives/ improvements.

The one negative that I can think of that really isn’t a huge issue is the balance between your team and the other team in their creative mode. I barely had enough guys to support a firing line and saved up for a tank to then turn around and see the Germans constantly pumping out troops and 3 tanks. Just a small thing but the campaign is great!

10/10 would recommend to anyone who is interested in a solid free to play game with a premium upgrade if you want to make battles yourself :) excited for the French and other campaigns to come out.

Good job developers!

I wanted a game that I could fight so then I stumble upon this. Now I read the title and I knew about the website version. So then I downloaded it and it was stunning and amazing. So the countries that you can play as is the British Empire and the German Empire. Each country has it’s own special unit or ability. For example the Germans have poison gas. Also there is a sandbox mode where you could create your own map. The only problem is the ads. There are some many ads

I think this game is truly perfect in its gameplay. The attention to detail is immaculate. There is only one slight problem I have. I remember in the original trench warfare on the Home Screen you could see battles going on in the background. But now it’s just a battlefield without any battles going on. If it’s possible to add that in can you please do that?

Really well made. It’s very rare to see this much effort and quality in mobile game these days, especially with these few ads. Love it. Only couple things I’d ask for. First being the ability to have battles between multiple nations (IE: Full access to ALL French and British units in sandbox rather than one). The second would be returning the ability to play player made maps, but I’m sure that’s being worked on. Other than that, keep doing what you are doing! Hope to see New factions like Bulgaria that weren’t featured last game, but I won’t bite the hand that feeds me.

If I’m getting really greedy, more solder idle/death animations and noises would be cool. I get that you receive thousands of suggestions and you obviously can’t just implement everything. Keep up the good work! Get some rest though lol.

I’ve played the original and this is great as the first game just wanted to say a couple suggestions 1:I wonder if you could add something so you could give equipment to soldiers for every terrain like for mud you could give them shovels or a mace 2: you could add the German super heavy tank but make them rare because they where prototypes 3:add Bulgaria or the Americans after upcoming Russian campaign update. Well that’s all suggestions I have of you read this thank you

This game is amazing I absolutely love it this it’s amazing BUT I don’t mean this game is bad because of this BUT I think it be cooler if there were more country’s like the old version of this game I’d like some more central powers like maybe Austria Hungary I mean Austria Hungary is pretty cool but maybe more like Ottoman Empire or for the entente Italy or maybe Russia and have the Bolsheviks and be able to play as any that’d be pretty cool but tbh I’m still giving this a five star so yes this game is cool
