Comments on 1943 Deadly Desert for Android

★★★★☆ Mark Sosnovski · Oct 25, 2021
It's a great game to pass the time, strategy and all that, however sometimes the game, for whatever reason, crashes in the middle of enemy activity. When I relaunch and try to continue that mission: it crashes in the same spot, this is a big inconvenience if you used some of your gold. This can be fixed by restarting a mission, but it may reoccur even after that, which is very annoying, it is an issue I have never encountered in my time playing this game across multiple different devices.
★★★★☆ Mango King · Sep 25, 2024
Game developer please add online world multiplayer like pubg, free fire and also add Wi-Fi multiplayer to play with friends. I like this game
★★★★☆ Frank Sargente · May 18, 2025
Mission two of the second operation in the axis campaign is bugged, and I can't finish it. Otherwise, it's a fantastic game, probably the best of this franchise.
★☆☆☆☆ Aryan Rajesh iswalkar · Apr 7, 2023
I Only think I hate it that This game is unfair with German troops most of British troops is stronger than German trtroopthis us unfair only few troops is maker stronger than British but only with some more skills only also In P vs P The player playing British troops have more advantage than the player that play with German troops This is unfair treat with german troops fix it
★☆☆☆☆ Samuel “Waldek” Goldwater · Jul 30, 2026
3 axis mission in the 1 campaign. Bot literally spawns units instantly.
★★☆☆☆ Kitti L · May 13, 2022
