Leave a Review Rise of Kingdoms
I love this game I would kiss it if I seen it irl
I've been playing "Rise of Kingdoms" for a while now, and it’s easily one of the most engaging mobile strategy games I’ve come across. The game allows you to choose from a variety of civilizations, each with its own unique style, commanders, and special units, which keeps things fresh and interesting. I love the real-time battle mechanics—it’s so satisfying to see my troops move across the map and engage in skirmishes or full-scale wars. The alliance system is another highlight for me; working together with other players to conquer territories and defend against attacks really adds a sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
The graphics are surprisingly good for a mobile game, with colorful visuals and detailed animations that make the world feel alive. There’s always something to do, whether it's upgrading buildings, training troops, or participating in special events, which keeps the game from feeling repetitive. However, I do have to mention that the game leans heavily toward a pay-to-win model, especially as you progress to higher levels. It can be frustrating to see other players pull ahead just because they’re willing to spend more money. That said, if you’re willing to be patient and strategic, you can still have a great time without spending much. Overall, "Rise of Kingdoms" is a fantastic game for anyone who loves strategy and building games, and I'm still enjoying every minute of it.Show lessHeysigma
This is nothing like the ads it’s better
You should definitely play this game. It has battles. It has peacekeeping. There’s a little bit of ads, but they’re not that bad. It’s really good. You should definitely play it. my family doesn’t think they like it but I promise you they probably will. It’s really good. I have a PS five. It’s better than all the games on that. if there’s a perfect game, it would be this one. you should definitely try it out. I had to bind my account, but it wasn’t that hard. also, did I mention the exploring? if you were one of the soldiers, imagine what you would see the adventures you would go on. you should definitely play it for like the third or fourth time. that’s because you really should play it. did I mention how easy it is to collect and build stuff? I know I didn’t. That’s why I’m telling you now. i’m sorry if there’s any typos. but there’s a bit of bugs that you should fix. like for example. if I didn’t have enough resources to buy or research something. it was just instantly research it like I bought the instant. I don’t know if that’s for everybody, but it happened for me. and I’m actually kind of happy it happened. now I have like Calvary Bowman and stuff. I just started and I’m already hooked. I play for hours on end. and one last time you should play it.Show lessPlay it for the adventure
Strategy game that takes too long to ramp up
I’ve been playing for over 6 months, and played the entirety of KvK2. There’s a lot of issues I have with RoK that other strategy games don’t have, which is just how long it takes before most long term players say it’s fun. If you mess up before SoC, you’re done and at a massive disadvantage, even if you’re a paying player! I have spent well over $2,000 yet I still felt way behind anyone else. This game suffers the same issues as most strategy games with age, power creep. Most new characters are better than any previous ones, and you better hope you have enough golden heads to some skills maxed. New systems are released every year to keep paying players continue spending (formations system). If you quit, also good luck starting back up, you’re now forced into whatever KvK the server is in, and you’ve missed every event in between, meaning you now have to create a new character and lose all the items you spent. There is little strategy as most are just head on battles in what’s called a “ball” where your alliance goes all on one space then instantly attacks. Once that happens you’ll notice you mainly lose to T5 units, the best in the game, and take forever if you don’t spend at minimum $5,000 or over a year waiting for research. I personally would rather go with Call of Dragons, as there is more strategy involved in fights, and troops actually have range; but soon that game will have power creep too.Show lesschinese wuhan bat soup

We appreciate your feedback about RoK. We want to build the best gameplay experience for players, and are continuing to improve the game. We would appreciate any additional feedback you might have. Please contact our support team via Facebook (@riseofkingdomsgame). Have a nice day!Pros and Cons
First I believe this game is enjoyable. This was my first game like this and through ups and downs I have made a lot of new friends. I enjoy the challenge of growing and improving… a few Cons before I go into the PROs… 1. The time table for leveling up EVERYTHING…. 30 DAYS is WAYYYYYY to long… plus the expense too makes it really hard for F2P…. I do realize the company wants money and people will buy gems to jump past a lot of extra time… 2. The lack of safeguards for players being bullied in game… I’m not sure how to fix it but I can say from personal experience that bullying players should have a way to report easily. 3. The CONSTANT UPGRADES! Give the F2P players time to adjust before the next upgrade hits… there is no time between commanders before a new one evolves out… rotate upgrades to older commanders to keep F2P members in a position to have a chance to compete… 4. Make it more manageable to get to T5 so that those who can’t spend like a whale have a chance to push towards equal footing… since they cost gold all the way around Lilith will make money… Now for PROS….. Game has challenges and mini games/events that allow a constant choice of activity… You meet people from all over the world… You can build up strong alliances and support good KDs… It is WAR so causalities are a given…. But it’s also a learning process 😁Show lessblessyou2

We appreciate your detailed feedback. We will pay more attention to the situations you described and continue to make relevant optimizations, striving to bring a better gaming experience to the governors. Please let us know if you have any further suggestions.Needs more world building.
You should add seas for us to explore and, by doing that you’ll need to research ships in the academy. Also It’ll be sooo amazing if you guys add rain to the game. Adding weather will bring more life to the world. And perhaps add notifications when someone messages you. It’ll be awesome if we could customize our own civilization color. I wish Britain was red. And It’ll be amazing if you guys added the Mali empire. The bonuses can be gathering gold and stone quicker, and healing your army faster. I hope the Malian empire gets added after the Aztecs? Also adding Poland or Russia will rock. Not Portugal was a missed opportunity. Vikings need more commanders. Trade between alliances will be great. Like you send an offer and it only gets accepted once you pay it. Like it shows a list of resources that’s up for sell that you can decide to put. This game has so much potential. All it needs to focus less on these combat events that’s taking the game nowhere and focus more on the trade and communication. That’s all also the world needs to be more polished, so does exploration. Also alliances should be able to make factions like literally. That will make it more interesting. And one more thing, when you do add ships. Make it that we can fish.Show lessHorridCaesar
I suggest we have a gem bank building in the game.
I am a player who has played ROK for 568 days now and has unlocked T5. I love this game and the commanders since they look fantastic—especially Joan Prime with the wings. But there is one issue I think the game needs to do better the gem issue. Most of the events in-game required gems, I spent about two hundred dollars each month to buy bundles but it seemed like that was not enough since the events were next to each other. So, I suggest we should have a gem bank, where the player can save their gem in there and receive back an interest maybe 10% each month for the number of gems that they save in there. This will help solve the low-on-gem issue of the new player and free-to-play players and players who spent medium like me.
Also, one more thing that needs to be fixed is the event calendar of the Not Only Gem event, and the Wheel of Fortune event. I am VIP 15 and spend 50k of gems on the 2 days of the Not Only Gems event to receive rewards, so basically I don't have enough gem to play the Wheel of Fortune event since it is a week after the Not Only Gems event. So, if you can please make both events happen at the same time, it will make more sense than making the player have to choose between one of them.Show lessMuradexp21
These dev comments sound like chatGPT nonsense lol
So my actual assessment is the game is good and bad. If you have unlimited free time to devote and are a people/good at networking you can make f2p work but it’s still a long haul. If you spend a little bit of money it’s about the same thing. If you spend a lot/whale out you can do whatever you want the first few months of the account and no can stop you lol. Don’t let the ads fool you if you plan to be f2p it will take around 2 years to reach 50m power. It would take thousands of dollars to reach 50m power in 2-3 months of making an account. If you spend money you can bully people and if you have a couple of friends there is little people can do about. Using shields and teleporting if you don’t have money to spend is pointless. F2p players have to just sit back and do what they are told to survive unless they have powerful friends. Unless the people spending thousands a month(yes some spend north of 10k/month on the game) are new or dumb, or you have several highly experienced people opposing them who are also spending money and actually willing to fight, they ultimately control what everyone is allowed to do. So if you can’t dedicate 5-6+ hours a day every single day for months on end or you have excessive amounts of disposable income don’t download this game. If you do have those things this can be a fun game.Show lessJækul
Before and After the rise in popularity
I played this game a LOT about 10 minutes to a few hours every day depending on availability events etc. i was young when I stopped playing about 3 or so years ago and I QUIT because of the ads lol. Got back into it again and I gotta say after another couple weeks it’s like a better clash of clans. I’m max townhall and builder hall for clash of clans and I play clash royals and clash of clans every day for the past 7 years, but it’s been weeks since I’ve touched it. Try it out without spending any money and following quests and I assure you you’ll have a good time. If it’s not your game, leave a review and uninstall so other people won’t have to waste their time seeing if they like it or not. But why not give it a try! I love it and I think many others will too, although again the time you spend playing whichever type of games is based on your preference so what I’m saying is just an opinion formulated based on my experience.
5/5 stars, great progression and even while I’m waiting for builds, scouts etc I always find something to do. Or i just put my phone down, do some chores, work or what-not and then I’ll continue playing whenever I pick up my phone again later. There’s a lot to do and I don’t want to spoil it, so check it out if you like to play phone games similar to clash of clans! Take care and thanks for readingShow lessDeathbr1n6er
I Love ROK!!!
So I loved this game, but then everyone was a higher level than me, and they had more power. I was going to get married, but a man showed up and told her that he had more power than me, and she dumped me and left with him. Many were telling me to join the Vikings, a powerful clan, but I had to pass on the offer. I am not skilled enough to be a Viking! I did not know how to handle this stress. I could not stop thinking about the man. Years later, I decided to ask him for some tips. He was a nice man and he yet again told me to join the Vikings. Normally, I ignore this, but his power level was too high to ignore. I joined the Vikings and I was finally good at this game. In only a week I had 2 million power! I played the game for months and months, and I k ow have a power level of 10 trillion power! All though this man taught me everything I knew about ROK, but he had also taken my wife! I knew what I had to do. I told my wife I had a higher power level than the man. She thought about it for a second, and she made the choice to be my wife again! I was so happy to hear this. Ten years later I have 69 quadrillion power on ROK! This game changed my life from miserable, and having no power, to having an amazing wife, all the power I could ever ask for, and I am living in a mansion with my three beautiful children. Thank you ROK!Show lessTimmay from Southern Park
Addicted
I’ve played this game for over a year, and I have been hooked, unlike most games like Clash of clans or other similar games like this, none have a feature where there’s an actual world you can explore, where you can take your armies and go out of the city, trade with other players, have alliances that rule over the entire kingdom or alliances that fight with others to rule the kingdom and eventually fight other kingdoms. The only and huge downside to this amazing game is the P2W (play to win) I’m guilty of slightly participating in this but player I know are constantly flowing in money and even when they have less time than me they are 2 or 3 times stronger than me.
P2W players can not only gain more power, but more troops, upgrades, accessories to make their commanders stronger, more technology and better troops.
The game does have some things to counter this, such as having the ability to migrate to a newer kingdom (server) to have players in your power-range ability. This isn’t a review for the devs this is more for the players to know that while the game is so much fun at first, in the long run you will meet “whales” (extremely strong cities) where it doesn’t matter how much you’ve grinded because of the amount of money they’ve put into the game. Overall I love this game, I just wish there was a way that I could compete with these types of players.Show less{ÇØŁD BŁØØD}
