What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Battle Nations is experiencing a divided player base following a controversial balance patch that nerfed the Nomad unit, with some players feeling the adjustment was excessive and review bombing in response, while others believe the developers at Madrona are on the right track in reviving the game. The core complaint remains the game's heavy grind and slow content release, which players feel disrespects their time investment, though there is appreciation for the studio's efforts to improve the title.
Maybe the game will be better with more updates, but it is currently just too grindy at the moment. The devs actually want the game to be slow and grindy to cover how slowly content is released, no respect for player time. Maybe unit levelling will be improved in future, maybe it won't.2 found this helpful
great revival, Madrona is doing a good job. everyone freaking out over a busted unit getting nerfed and review bombing is a huge over reaction. i disagree with how far they went but being this upset is a huge overreaction1 found this helpful
Wanted to post a positive review for the game because recently the game has been review bombed by people upset about a balancing nerf. To explain to those who have not played Battle Nations before: An event called a "Boss Strike" happened, that ended up being significantly harder for the average player base than the developers had anticipated. In order to remedy this, as the developers didn't have enough time to rework the event, they introduced a unit that was better than any unit in the game at the time, The Nomad. This came with the information that it would be nerfed, and people can buy as many as they want, but do not expect it to stay the same. (Quick Aside: This warning of the incoming nerf was repeated at least 3 times, and was extremely common knowledge amongst anyone in the discord. I do feel for any Chinese players who did not receive this knowledge, as I'm not 100% sure it was relayed in the in-game announcement.) Okay, lets fast forward a month or two, and we had our level increased, yay! This allowed the Nomad to go from the best unit in the game, to something even more powerful it was absurd. Earlier before we had our level increased, there was maybe an argument f…1 found this helpful

Some people say the Nomad nerf was too much, I SAY IT DIDNT GO FAR ENOUGH.
