BattleText Reviews

Here are the things the developers needs to work on:
1: when you type on the keyboard too fast, some letters will not register.
2: whoever has a higher brainpower (plays/ win more) gets to go first, which is unfair to those who have recently just downloaded.
3: Whoever goes first has a huge advantage and the developers should add in a final turn, where the player who went second has a chance to still get a higher score than the person that went first.
4: When playing multiplayer and you get the cat (starting letter is random) I’ve noticed the starting letter is usually the same letters twice and sometimes even 3 times in a row. And this can be a disadvantage to those who don’t know any long words starting with that specific letter or it could be an advantage to those who know very long letters for that same word. For example, the letter p and s have some very long words such as SEMI-AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL or PALEOCLIMATOLOGIST but then there are letters such as y, where the longest word is YOUTHFULNESSES.

So if any developers see this, please take this into consideration and fixing all these problems/bugs.

BattleText needs some work. It’s a really fun game but it would be better if you implement the device keyboard. It’s really easy on the game keyboard for your finger to slip and hit the wrong button or letter. I used all of my auto completes on accident because of this. If I accidentally type the wrong letters it takes extra of the limited time I have to think and type a word just to backspace and type it again. On the shorter time rounds it gets really stressful and frustrating. On top of that, when I watch an ad to recover a auto complete, the game just freezes and won’t let me do anything but exit the match and lose a life. I lost almost all of my lives in a short period of time because of this. Please fix these issues if you are still working on this game. I find it really fun and it’s sad to see that it’s becoming genuinely unplayable.

This game is great apart from the fact that it gives a very unfair advantage to the player who goes first, as other players noted years ago. The developers said years ago they added a bonus round to fix this issue but there are no bonus rounds as far as I can tell. I have been first in every single multiplayer round I’ve ever played and it feels unfair and hardly competitive, as it’s very easy to be the first one to 50 when I effectively get one turn more than the player who goes second. Also, my fiancé and I do not have a Facebook. It frustrating that signing in with Facebook is the only way to play with friends as we had to make accounts specifically for BattleText. And to top it off, the invitation feature doesn’t even work. There is no way to accept a game invitation so after all that, we’re not even able to play together. Additionally, I paid for to remove ads. BattleText said my purchase was successful then crashed and it still shows me ads.

Update isn’t implementing any good features it just limits you from playing and makes you watch more ads at stupid and should be removed but they’re making it seem like it’s holy Grail of features it’s not it’s not a new game mode it’s nothing new except making you play less and pay more with your time and maybe even your money

I paid the 1.99 to remove ads. It said payment was successful but the ads continued. I waited a couple hours and tired again. This time it says, you have already purchased this item and do you want to replace it for free. I respond yes and it again says it of successful but then the last message says, error timestamp to old/expired. Fun game but to time consuming with an ad every 20 seconds.

With any free game, I expect advertisements. I understand their purpose and I respect that. However with this game, you can only play so much until you’re “out of lives”, and then it shows a counter for when you can regain them. i believe mine said something around 10,000 minutes? It shows the counter going down. It doesn’t even allow you to play in story mode. They suggest to watch a free video to gain a life back. I’d rather just come back to the game later. This might cost them some returning players.

TL;DR: Very good game, but also very unfair advantage given to the player who goes first.

I absolutely LOVE this game, and I’ve only played it for a few days since my friend introduced me to it. Finally I feel that my English class has some sort of purpose. 😂 What is keeping this game from 5 stars you may ask? Well, in the short time period I’ve played this game, I’ve noticed a MAJOR ISSUE. There is a very unfair advantage given to the player who goes first. Let’s say that we’re playing to 50. Player 1 goes first, makes words that are 10 points per turn. Player 2 is second, and makes words that are 12 points per turn. After 4 words each, the score would be 48-40 in Player 2’s favor. However, Player 1 can barely edge them on the 5th word and win 50-48. This happens a lot more than you may think, and it unfairly rewards players just for going first, even if their words haven’t been as good. Devs, PLEASE fix this. If Player 1 hits 50 points, let Player 2 have a chance to tie or win the game, or even introduce sudden death. This game has a ton of potential, and I think this would be a ver nice change!

I love the game, but if an add plays before your game in story mode, you automatically lose your first turn because the game keeps running behind the ad after already being at a disadvantage because you have to go second. I’d give this game 5 stars if that was fixed.

I really enjoy this game! It tests my vocabulary and it’s empowering. The only problem is I don’t have a Facebook account. I’m pretty sure many people feel the same as me when I say I really suggest you add another log in feature that is more popular, such as Email, Instagram or even Apple account. I really want to play with my friends but I can’t. Please add this feature! Thanks

I was playing a game with the rule “R T and N are banned” and somehow the other player kept using words ending with R. That caused me to lose, because even if they end with a banned letter, I can’t autocomplete or create a word. If I tried to submit a word, it told me I was cheating and I need to follow the rules. They kept using words ending with banned letters so I was forced to submit nothing, causing me to lose horribly. It’s a fun game, but there are some bugs that can cause you to lose because other people cheat

A friend turned me onto this and I didn't have very high expectations based on the title alone.... so I went thru the tutorial n thought it's pretty simple n kinda fun but I figured it could only keep me entertained for so long before it would get repetitive n therefore boring... BUT THEN they threw in all these different curveballs in every battle like banning certain letters n cutting ur spell time in half just to name a couple... which changes everything n makes it more n more challenging as u go... great game to play with friends too

This is a great game I love the idea and it is overall great except a few things that I think would be better.
1) When you are in a match and you get it wrong it takes up so much more time to delete all of the letters especially if it was a long word like most words. I think it would be great to add a little button that you can press to restart your word to set you back to no letters typed. It would not restart the timer but it would save time.
2) More game modes like rush where you have to spell as many words as you can in 30 seconds and you could have high scores and leaderboards. It would be cool to have this and other modes like that.
3) Possibly a lobby where you can have the ability to get more than just 2 people playing you could have an entire group
I would really like to see these things done to one of my favorite games already so please add these things soon. But anyways still a great game keep up the good work.

I like playing with this game with my daughter, but it will be even better if I can set to play the game without time limits because my daughter is very nervous when there is a time limit if you can set the game without time limits. Yeah, I think well, my daughter will like it even better even more yes

I love this games. I think this game is perfect to challenge your thinking skills. My only issue is when I’m in a game, an ad pops up and it doesn’t pause the game. The game continues so it wasted the time I had to type a word and I would either have to use an auto complete or just waste a turn. Please change the timings on the ads.

Can you fix the typing thing because I’m a fast typer and I’ve haven’t messed up on a word until this it’s a great game don’t get me wrong but please do something for fast typers without having to worry if we pressed on the wrong letter

I love this game. It helps with people’s spelling it’s just that the most annoying thing is that there is something you can’t use this word. I just need that fixed and I can tell some more stuff that could maybe get fixed. Add some more avatar. Also you could maybe add more edits to the game? That’s the stuff I hate about it and the stuff that I like. Please check this message out for the game.

...in multiplayer the person who goes first gets a huge advantage since the game can end with them having an extra turn which can mean you could get more points per word on every word and still lose

Love this game. There is at least one glitch where I type a letter and it doesn’t show. So I have to erase and rewrite which can make me lose especially during speed rounds. I’m addicted though. This is so fun.

Ok.... at first By the pictures I thought this game would be terrible but when I downloaded it and actually started playing it I am now addicted to this game I play everyday now and I totally recommend this game for everyone
