  • Nothing like OG age of empires

    Claims to be the new age of empires but only has a couple minor features that are the same.

    Other then claiming to be the new AOE it is a fun game in its own ways
  • Nothing like the original

    Sold as “like the original AOE” I was highly disappointed with this modernised version. The story mode-style and forceful tutorial completely takes away what was the best part of the game... it’s freedom. AOE was one of the first open world games and this was just cringe and painful. Disappointing. Why not just grab the original coding for the game and add it to mobile? I’ll pay for that and so would many others!

  • Heavy pay to win.

    It’s possible to grow without paying money however if you don’t have hours every day to spend on the game, you grow at 1/10 of the rate of pay to win players. Another problem is heroes, you can get legendary heroes rarely without spending money however to make a hero really really good you need another hero medal for that hero meaning you need to recruit it again. I started playing the game 4 months ago and I haven’t gotten a single legendary hero medal for any of my 5 legendary heroes. There are some good things about this game though, one of which is that the graphics are phenomenal. There are also a lot of unique concepts that you won’t see in other games like this. So great job to the developers, if they would just make some changes to the pay to win aspects of the game, it would be absolutely amazing.

  • Developer Rethink Events

    I have played the for about a month now. I was willing to get through the long tutorial and even stayed once the game opened the throne event up. Even stayed once our “king” was crowned and we ended up with a tyrant/dictator (note, you may get lucky and get a ruler that wants to help the province and not just themselves). I even stayed once we had to start state vs state events. But the event that destroys the game and the game play is the Reign of Chaos event.

    Reign of Chaos has caused more people to quit the game then any other event. I get it developers much games to make money and I’ve spent a fair bit more on this game trying to compete but all that money, time and effort gets thrown out the window during reign of chaos. The game play completely changes and you have spend yet more money to even survive this event let alone thrive.

    Maybe next time when you develop a game don’t change everything on a player a month or two in. That way you can make more money by keeping players longer.

  • Good game but they will cheat you

    I play rise of the empire and your game is fun to play but y’all ripping ppl off because I paid $20 dollars to get to level 25 easily but nope didn’t get nothing. I tried to reach customer service but it was in this language I don’t understand it was nothing but symbols. So I send the message anyways and I waited two weeks with no reply at all to it. So I ask apple to refund me my money cause I paid for the level 25 and never got it. So apple agreed to return me my money. Then a few days later they took away all my diamonds and minus me 120,000 diamonds and mind you I have a subscription that I paid for to get diamonds everyday. Plus they minus me a whole bunch of other stuff which lead me not to be able to protect myself in the game from attacks. Plus you know they took away the complaint thing where u can go and talk to customer service and I couldn’t even reply to their messages. So this game u have is a complete scam.

    Cordially yours, Leonard Cadet

  • Misleading marketing and disappointing

    Marketed as being the updated awesome PC game “Age Of Empires”. I was very hopeful that something would be as great as that classic game. Unfortunately this game is nothing like the original. Just another version of what’s already out there, boring gameplay, rock the boxes, spend some money to actually get anywhere but with a dragon... still waiting for someone to rerelease that amazing classic game. This is not it.

  • Fake and Scam, Don’t play it!

    First of all this is not Age of Empires, it’s a ripoff and they should be sued for false advertisement. The ad makes you think that you are about to play the PC version of Age of Empires (there is a voice in the ad that says so!) but the game is completely different. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

    Also, it’s a pay to win game. Sure, they start by giving you free buildings and free upgrades, later everything you want to do in the game costs real money. Do you want to build something? Money please! Do you want to upgrade something? Money please! Do you want troops? Money please! And read the reviews, a lot of people have bought in-game purchases and have been scammed and admins won’t reply to their tickets.

    Finally, people say that they are low level and are constantly being attacked by higher level players, which steal their resources, thus forcing you to pay money to get more resources in order to “get back on your feet”, but then guess what, you get attacked again and again and all that money you spent in recourses is technically gone and you repeat the cycle again. DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

    Hello, dear players! Thank you for your feedback. We hope to convey to different types and preferences through a variety of different expressions in the production of advertisements. It is an interpretation that may be more intuitive for everyone to understand. If this causes some misunderstanding to you, we apologize and will continue to optimize and adjust based on your feedback. The game has a wealth of game content, such as collection, exploration, and various activities.

We are confident that our game is attractive enough. I wish you a happy game~
  • Not real ads

    Stop faking the ads saying this is age of empires when it’s not even close to it seen on YouTube and Facebook. Pretty bad when you have to pretend to be another game just for people to download it #garbagecompany’s
  • Misleading and underperforms

    While all games are revenue based in some form,this underperforming spinoff is built around a solely monetized model,a rehashed platform and weak in its development for playability.
    Game grind is anemic,leaving the gamer feeling empty for time and money spent.
    I gave it a five star rating in that it is a perfect example of the lack of respect for consumers that the Apple Store and Google Play have in as long as a game has that window of generating cash who cares if it has no substance.
    This game sits squarely in the spinoff basement,tho I have never watched paint dry,after playing this ,it made me reconsider.
    Signed,

  • Pay to win much?

    I understand a free game having some micro transactions... but this game goes well and beyond. You need heroes? Buy them, you need resources, buy them, you need speed ups, buy them, you need crafting equipment that takes months and months to acquire? Buy them, your stamina is gone on your troops? Buy some more. Your troops died? Buy a money only item that increases your weekly revive from 30% to 100%. You need courage medals for research? Buy them. Oh here is an event for rewards for how more money you spend. Did I mention you get gems with all purchases? Oh here’s more speed ups and resources. Oh base rewards? Well don’t plan on getting those because the people who are spending money will completely make you useless. What’s that you want a 50% building time buff.... buy that. Oh vip shop unlocks at castle 20.... but you need to have spend 100 just to unlock it, and 25 monthly to keep using it..... but you can build it though. Not only is this a copy of lss which is entirely just different names and pictures. But some countries have a different money currency. So what will cost you 1000s to do, will cost them hundreds instead. Don’t even bother. You want to be a boss and spend $10,000 on this game it’s for you. You want to spend $100 don’t even bother. You and all the free to play people will just be fed on and used to increase the money spenders.
