  • Sad to say

    This game is addicting 😝 but a strong but! You cannot do anything against the big time spenders😭 I’ve been playing for 11 months now. I use to be a very big spender but no more. I’m done with this game for now. Yes you make great friendship along the way from all over the world but… at what cost? Thousands of money just to be caught up? When I die they won’t be at my funeral because they won’t know who I am…this internet/international “friend” … will not attend your funeral, months unless you met them in person. Yes I’ve talked personally with couple friends within this game but mainly to only talk about the game.

    You can make friendship here for real… but at what costs? Developer costs? As long as you keep spending? I lost hope in this game for real. As previous reviewers said, you need money to play. Devs do NOT CARE as long as you keep paying… calculating what I spent to get to my castle and hero strength… spent over 5k USA money… ridiculous to compare what Asia spent. There is a money gap between china and USA…. If you’re from USA or equivalent of spending as us, I advise you to stop. Just wasting money

  • Good game but…..

    Been playing this game for about 5 months under two different accounts. Now I’ve got to the point where buildings take 1-2-3 days to upgrade and the cost of each material to build is becoming extortionate. Like 30,000,000 lumber to upgrade the storage to upgrade the food to 30,000,000 to upgrade the castle?? C’mon! Do I have to pump in £30-£40 each week just to get a head in the game so I can win a battle or two?? It’s getting ridiculous with the price of each material needed because although I’m able to station someone to the quarry, mint and farm etc…I cannot for iron and lumber…they just want more money so you can go further into the game.

    If this isn’t rectified I’m gonna be finding another game which I can play for less money without the gameplay….id rather on that than spend on this just to up the level of the castle by 1.

    Not a happy chappy here

There are many activities in the game, such as alliance duels, personal armaments, champion duels, etc. You can get generous resource rewards to help you develop if you actively participate. Props and equipment, you can experience more. I will give feedback to the cooking staff about the long construction time and high cost.

  • Good game, but need small inprovements

    The game is nice, very well developed, were you can apply strategy, intelligence, and can develop a workflow to grow. One of the improvement that is required is about the graphic design related to the quantity of extra items that overpopulate the screen.
    An example the small text window that is displayed constantly near to the top of the screen, showing messages like Xxxxc obtain the first xxxxx. Nobody care about what other players on the game is doing, and the worst think that area is for important things related to the game, and if you like to closed that annoying messages the X is si small that you click in other button not desired to click, we chatted with other players on discord and the province and alliance chat about it and every one hate that thing.
    Must have a switch button on properties that allow to set on and off so each user could set according to the user preferences.

  • Enjoyable game at first, but - -

    I am a new player and I was really enjoying the game at first, but… After you put a lot of time and effort into this game, you’ll find that players who have been playing longer, and are much stronger than you can just come to your city and pillage you into the ground. Unless you have money for peace shield, anytime you want to step away or go to sleep. YOU WILL BE ROBBED. When that happens, you’ll find that your game progress will be completely stagnant, as it costs, money and resources, to upgrade your castles, crops, etc… adding to your frustration, will be the fact that the person who attacked you can just teleport to parts unknown on a different section of the map, leaving you no way to retaliate. (not that you could because they are at least 8 to 10 times stronger than you). THEN, you will be demoted and or removed from your alliance with zero remuneration for what you’ve put in to helping build said alliance. I hoped that the developers can or or at least willing to try to do something to level the playing field a little bit. I know attack for attack is part of the game, but. There should be some kind of level system or something. Someone with over 1 million attacked power shouldn’t be able to ransacked someone who has barely over 200,000. And then just run away, leaving you with nothing to show for the time, effort, and money you put into the game. If the game continues as is, I will be forced to delete my account entirely.

    Hello dear players! I am very sorry to bring you a bad game experience! The balance of the game has always been the focus of our work. We are also trying to find a balance between the advantages of old players and the playability of new players. Please understand. Players use the protective cover to avoid damage to soldiers and protect resources. There are many sources of diamonds in the game. Players can receive generous diamond rewards by actively participating, and it does not have to be obtained by charging money. The protective cover can also be exchanged in the alliance store~ In addition, you can also join an alliance that has signed the NAP treaty, so that you can safely develop the castle from Monday to Friday~ For suggestions on increasing the attack level or combat power limit, I will give feedback to the developers~ If you have any ideas during the game experience, you can click on the message board next to the castle to contact us, I wish you a happy game~
  • Great game but expensive to progress

    I like the game but my interest is waning; to progress you need to spend quite a bit of money. When some packages are around £100, it's a lot for a game. I don’t like this sort of lure and whilst it’s perfectly legal, I don’t think it's ethical. There are those that would spend hundreds of not more. The game is updated regularly so does have a good development team behind it but I suspect a lot of money is still being made.
    Graphics are good and plenty of stuff going on in the game to help you to keep returning. It’s a shame I can not afford to go on.

  • Too complicated

    There’s just too much going on in this game. It isn’t well explained so it’s very confusing. I played it a lot for a few days thinking if I kept playing it, it would make more sense. Unfortunately I just got more confused and was aimlessly updating buildings that I had no idea what their purpose was. I didn’t know what the heros thing is all about - that’s not explained - so I had heros but didn’t know what was good and what to do with them. So I was spending a lot of time not having a clue what was going on. I guess if you spend the time researching how it all works online then maybe it would make sense and be enjoyable but I just found it way too complicated. It’s also nothing like the adverts they use to lure you in.

  • money trap to be top players but playable with little investment

    Bad part: This game is not friendly to 0-investment beginner to play. Slowly time-investment won’t make the fast development game style. As u play, u will realize you need at least something to pay to be a strong , or pay more to be more stronger than other whoever payed. There are multiple dimensions needs to be worked or invested to make a strong legion. Another bad is Lots of overpriced items attempting u cost.

    Good part, 1. game is fun and attempting. Due to fast competition and multiple dimensions to grow your legion, heros, squad, and all resource to support those, you definitely gonna practice management skill so to maximize your reward 2. There is in game translation - which you are able to read all languages player’s word in your language- very convenient . 3. If you find a good alliance that’s a easy start but u need to be somehow stronger than average to join the good alliance. Lots of events to join, and you are on your choice to focus on whatever playing styles. As the game goes later, it will challenge you more and more.

  • Good game but needs so many changes!

    Downloaded and played the game for a bit even though the gameplay is nothing like the advertisements and not really explained how to do specific things or what specific things do. The reason i deleted the game was because there is no level limit on who can attack you. So even though i got my kingdom to a decent level the almost constant bombardment of extremely high level players mate it almost impossible to progress passed the level i got to. And unless you wanted to spend real life money in order to get a peace shield or the materials needed to progress there was no point trying. You spend days saving up your materials and then someone kills ya and take it all.

  • Don’t bother IBX will bully you and attack you

    Don’t bother downloading this game as there’s one group in all games like this who take over the game and ruin it by attacking everyone they can and not just once but several times in a few hours, always players just new to the game with hardly any resources so basically wipe them out( one of their cowards attacked me 4 times in 8 hours after my Shield came down and I wasn’t even online. They say anyone can apply to join their alliance but they never accept anyone unless they have high power levels but nobody can get high power when these cowards attack everyone and wipe them out. They do it in all these sort of games, I’ve seen them wipe out whole alliances. Developers do NOTHING to stop them then wonder why so many people stop playing these games, it’s because of the IBX BULLIES. Developers DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE COWARDS.

    Dear player, I am very sorry to bring you a bad game experience. This game is a war game, and different wars are fought on the map every day. However, the appeal you mentioned is also our concern. I We have given you feedback, we will adjust the game according to the players’ suggestions and appeals, and hope that the planning department can issue a rule to protect lower-level players from being continuously violated by higher-level players and help lower-level players grow safely as soon as possible.I hope to get your understanding. Before that, I suggest you turn on the shield in time to avoid being attacked by these aggressive players again~If you encounter problems in the game, please contact us on the bulletin board on the left side of the castle.
