  • It’s a good and interesting game

    To me I call it that because when I’m bored I just play and I find it very interesting and there’s a lot of fun in it like for me I love playing strategy games and I love meeting people around the world especially when you’re in an alliance you can have friends around the world,you can chat with them and play along side with them too and just a little of advice if you want to play this for the first time you might encounter lots of bullies from those who played longer than you but trust me don’t think you’re 100%defeated you’re just being tested by them and trust me one day you will be in their shoes and you’ll understand why they attacked you and you will defeat them too it’s all in your hand….once again give a 5star to this as I’ve given it……love the game.

  • Time and Money Waster

    This a Age of Empires looking game with no winning, no story, no real point except to get you to spend real money to grow your Castle power. I’m sure people spend hundreds and probably thousands of real dollars to grow the power of your castle. If you try to grow your castle without spending you’ll get stuck down at relatively low power range of 1/20th of those who drop real money in the game. Even if you drop money and build a super strong and powerful castle, what can you do? Raid other castles? Not really, anyone playing places a peace shield and doesn’t engage at all. Or you can hunt around the map for low power castles of people who are not playing enough to remember to place a piece shield up for the weekend… there is no challenge in that.

    Game definitely isn’t engaging enough to get you to want to interact with it (can’t really say play). If you want a game that engages you, download the new Age of Empires and actually play a real strategy game with real endings. Rise of Castles keeps people playing only because you invest so much time hoping something builds up… but it never really does.

    Save your money, save your time, and don’t waste a second or a dime on this dog of a so called game.

  • Minus zero stars!! Shame on you!!!

    I just downloaded your game, looks like fun. While I was waiting for it to download, I saw another ad for your game. After watching your ad, I immediately deleted your game and I’m leaving a review for others to see. Your ad disgusted me beyond words. What kind of people are you?!!! You have no respect for others, that’s clear. You people have a platform to reach the young and teach them to respect themselves and others. You could teach them to be compassionate, caring, responsible, kind and so many other positive traits. You could teach them to be strong and self confident, about bullying and boundaries. You have such a great opportunity to do the right thing for our youth, and you not only throw away the opportunity but you teach them how to disrespect others!!! What disgusting people you are! All of connected to this game.
    I play a lot of games, I’m disabled and home most of the time, so I play games to fill up my day and even have fun playing many of the games. I was shocked to see your ad, and I’m going talk about it on all my platforms. Shame on you!! Any of you that have children should be so ashamed, but all of you that work in this company share the responsibility and consequences that come from teaching children disrespect and hatred.
    Shame on every one of you!!!

  • Castles

    This game is fantastic in many ways. The graphics are superb. However, once you begin to play there are necessary resources that you must have to advance. You can purchase them, just attach a credit card. Then, it takes thousands to play. In two years I have racked up over four thousand dollars (USD)! It becomes a freakish desire to better your castle. Then, it was suggested to have a farm castle you can harvest for more resources. Then it requires dollars to advance to have sufficient resources to harvest. More castles, more money! Then, you are a level 13 castle and somebody comes along with a level 29 castle, obviously no contest, and they burn you down when you are not online to help yourself. Start rebuilding and do you have more money on that credit card?
    Again, great graphics, the heroes you recruit are phenomenal, the dragon incorporates some great graphics. Overall I like it but have decided no more purchases and game has slowed to a crawl and when your castle is destroyed while you are not online, well, struggle as best you can and soldier on.
    If it weren’t for the burning down while not online I would give this game 5 stars.

    Dear player, I'm sorry to bring you a bad experience. SLG games usually focus on strategy and development, which is a time-consuming process that some players may find boring. We will also send your ideas to the planning team to optimize our game system. The game has a large number of activities to obtain resources. You can have a good game experience without paying as long as you participate in more activities. We will also continue to optimize Game balance. If you are attacked, it is recommended that you choose to join a large alliance and seek help from allies to jointly defend against the enemy or turn on the shield protection in time. If you have any questions, you can click on the bulletin board on the left side of the castle, or give feedback via email [kefusupport @im30.net】. It is recommended that you visit and provide device version information and screenshots of the login interface. We will check and process it for you as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
  • A frustrating messy game to play

    Date of review January 2024. A very time consuming game to play. You have to build up everything precisely because all buildings in the castle are sequentially linked to each other at each castle level to develop and/or maintain progress.

    You choose where to place most of the buildings, for me that’s the messy part, in your castle. Marble quarries buildings need to be around the quarry. Different resources each have their own Storehouse.

    You have houses that build a population, you have Mint buildings to make gold to aide various upgrades and research at each castle level.
    You upgrade the Tavern to accommodate the housing population that you must continually supply with food and ale or the population will fall and everything will grind to a halt.

    This is a war game so expect to get attacked or use gems to buy shields. Join an alliance and donate 3000 per tap (25+ taps each day of much needed resources is a lot to lose) to alliance science to earn points to get 8 hour shields instead of spending a lot of gems for one although 8 hour shields now days are pathetically short so you need 24 hour, 3 days and 1 hour shields.

    Dear player, I'm sorry for bringing you a bad experience. As an SLG game, city construction is an important part of the game content. The buildings in the castle you mentioned are connected to each other for development and/or maintenance. Progressive game settings are one of the features of the game. You need to choose your own abilities to manage your own castle. Everything, including resources, buildings, and population, are all content that you can play independently. Players can choose what suits them. How to play. You can focus on collecting and cultivating, or you can indulge in war fanaticism. The shield in the game can also be redeemed through alliance points, and does not necessarily cost diamonds. We hope you will continue to try our game. If you encounter problems in the game or have better suggestions, please contact us on the bulletin board on the left side of the castle or at the email address (kefusupport@im30.net). We will continue to improve the game and customer service to provide you with the most perfect gaming experience~❤

  • Developers continue to mess up

    You will notice that the developers have a copy and paste response for all reviews they have responded to…in a nut shell how they treat players, with disdain and emoji prayers.

    If you ever request a refund not directly through the game, they freeze your account and give you negative credit you have to work off/buy through in-game packs.

    met some friends I’ve been playing with for 4 years now. Unfortunately the developers care about money to the detriment of the game, the matchmaking and glitches in the latest Eden unbalanced the whole event and has really limited enjoyment for all. It’s a shame as it could be 5stars if they would prioritise checking for fundamental errors and thinking about what they are doing over rushing out new updates for the purpose of lining their bank account. Greedy gimps. To continue following the ‘developers’ response… I don’t care about the spending that’s something you can do if you want. The problem is they don’t care or understand the people are genuinely aggrieved that the game values rushing out events before they are tested. In the last month at least 3 events have been amended, postponed or rerun because of glitches. When gamers are spending days of their life playing this the least they should expect is a solid event. Unfortunately not. Part 3 I have left the game.

  • Beware: Pay to Win game

    To put it simply, you can win as a team, but you will always be outperformed and left behind by those spenders or Super Spenders! You can play it easy and not spending, but after a while you'll get bored. A LOT of players has quit the game already. Dev always found a way to make you spend or you will be just like a 'Farm' to those who spent! Some in-game events was also costing like A LOT of money's with no guarantee you'll get the final Reward. I give up! gonna find another game worth my time!

    Hello dear players! Dear player, sorry for the bad experience. The balance of the game has always been the focus of our work. Paying players do have an advantage, and they will be better than non-paying players in terms of combat power level. We are also working hard to balance the advantages of paying players and the playability of ordinary players to looking for a balance point, please understand. In order to increase the fun and excitement of the game, we have set up a random recruitment system in the game, which is probabilistic and unpredictable~ I am sorry that this gameplay did not satisfy you~ In addition, our game uses free download to play , and some props need to be paid for the operation mode. Players can freely choose to purchase the paid content, and we will not force consumption. If you think such a game mode affects your experience, we apologize to you. I hope you can continue to support our game~ If you encounter problems in the game, please contact us on the bulletin board on the left side of the castle. Thank you!
  • requires a lot of cash investment and too many side events

    I have been playing for 2 months and already spent a small fortune. there are so many side events it is often hard to remember to do them all and some are not easy to understand or find again after doing the tasks. You need the help of experienced players to advise you on the many elements of this game.

    The game requires you to gather masses of resources to upgrade buildings which seem unrealistic. it is easy to overspend on this game with so many things to do. The exclusive Chinese states have promotional packages that are much cheaper than the rest of the world have to pay, this ends up generating hatred against the Chinese sponsored by the developers, and makes it impossible to compete against them.

    Although I have enjoyed playing this game, there seems no point continuing to spend my money if the Chinese are given an unfair advantage enabling them to progress much faster than other players around the world. When we come up against these Chines States in battles, most players can only shield instead of fighting and that is not fun.

    Unless the developers create a level playing field where the whole world get comparable prices and offers, or put the Chinese states only against each other in battles, then I will stop playing.

    Dear player, I am very sorry for bringing you a bad game experience~ Regarding the problem of too many events, I will give feedback to the developers to try to reduce the frequency of event releases and optimize and organize the task layout design so that players can clearly understand the progress of the task~ We will also launch more activities to provide more resources~ Regarding the different prices of the regional service gift packs, the price of the gift package is affected by the tax policy and the exchange rate of your region.The price of gift packs in China is no exception~ and there is no preference for which provinces~ Please rest assured~ Each regional server will have different forms of discount packages~ If you encounter problems in the game, please contact us on the bulletin board on the left side of the castle. Thank you!
