  • Be warned it’s obsessive, but with greedy devs

    The game is not what the adverts portray. It’s an intense strategy game, that many pay to win, because the developers encourage you to constantly spend money to advance your castle. This spoils the game. The developers also have no concept of western consumer law, so don’t expect satisfaction from complaints. That said the games complexity is captivating. Please note it’s a state vs state strategy game, not, as many seems to believe a short-term war game. Do your homework if you want to be successful( or spend huge amounts of money).

    Dear player: Hello. Our game has set up some paid props in the store, and players can freely choose whether to buy them to improve their game progress. We apologize if you think this feature has brought a bad gaming experience. However, paid items are only an option, they are not required in the game, our game provides players with a free gaming experience. Many players play the game really well and have a great time without spending any money in the game. In strategy games, it often takes a long process to develop. It may be a good choice to join a powerful alliance. You can get resources and assistance from the alliance, which will help you improve your attributes. We will also continue to launch new activities, you can actively participate, and the rewards usually have very considerable prop resources and diamonds for you to use to improve your attributes. Regarding the advertisement, we hope that our game can be focused on more people. If it has caused you to misunderstand, we apologize for this. Of course, if you have any comments and want to tell us, we welcome you to communicate with our customer service (click next to the base - game help - customer service - fill in the corresponding questions), and we will serve you. We will be committed to making the game better. Our goal is to provide players with a better gaming experience and hope that everyone can have fun. Thank you for playing our game and sincerely invite you to continue to support our game. Finally, I wish you a wonderful day.
  • New phone, IOS updated, JUST started to play and ALREADY stuck!

    Some in my IOS background I literally have the game is open and stuck in what appears to be a very simple check mark that needs to be attended to. I just started playing this game less then 5 minutes ago after installation, in a very common part of these games where it walks you through what to do. Although I just have to swipe up as the hands shows you to do, it’s apparently not that simple. I have swiped east, west, north & south and cannot get past that part. This is very frustrating and will give it a few more goes before I try another similar game. The best way to describe where I am stuck is, I see the whole battlefield and the hand is in the south west corner just above the black box titled “english.” It animates to swipe north east and when I try, it does NOTHING. ***update*** I shut the game down and restarted it and has moved on to the next task. So that would make it now two tasks where the greenish animated hand I’m supposed to swipe, has froze up. What’s going on here developers? Is this a bug? I just downloaded the game so there couldn’t be an update…?

    Dear player: Hello, we are very sorry for bringing you a bad game experience. SLG games are usually more complex than other games. Therefore, we prepared a tutorial for players at the beginning so that they can get familiar with the game as soon as possible. Players need to complete the operation according to the guidance of the tutorial. Only after completing the novice tutorial can players freely operate. If you have completed the tutorial and still cannot play the game normally, we suggest you try the following methods: ①Find the game in the phone settings, clear the game cache and try again. ② Switch between 4G network and WiFi network and try again. ③ After restarting the phone, re-enter the game. ④ Uninstall the game and re-download the latest version of the game in the store. If the problem still cannot be solved, please contact our customer service (contact information in the game: game interface - bulletin board - customer service - Help), if you cannot enter the game, you can contact us via (email: support_roe@im30.net), We will serve you. I also hope that you can continue to support our games and have a nice day.
  • Big bug

    The game can be fun and allow you make friends while you work to be the best. Those countless hours one puts into the game can be wiped out in matter of days as the developers allows players from the old world, (states in the 200 range) with years of experience and building time to migrate to a newer state, 777, so they can pick on and destroy those of us still learning and growing. Most of the 777 players are level 25 and above and can by themselves have more power than my team of 100 combined. To make it worse, 777 is overcrowded. They are like a plague. Members of 777 have commented that they will kill everyone if they don’t comply. A handful of 777 players can wipe out an entire state. It would be like Christmas Island being invaded by the entire population of China. The only way to compete is to spend thousands of dollars to catch up or hide and hope the ROC ends without being noticed.
    Either the developers planned this state or it is a bug. It needs fixed or you will loose a lot of players like me, castles between 20 to 25.

  • Greedy developers

    They say its f2p and shows photos of age of empire. This game is just a scam to get your money. This game should be banned from all the stores.

    Dear Player: Hello, in the advertisement, we hope that our game can be focused on players who have never been exposed to war strategy games. We apologize if this caused you a bad experience. Our games provide a free play mode and experience, and consumption is not mandatory. Players are free to choose whether to purchase items. In the game, it is recommended that you join a powerful alliance and help each other become stronger with allies. You can also get generous diamond rewards by actively participating in various activities, and then use these resources to strengthen yourself. So, usually you just need to play slowly, and after a long time, you can reach a very high level. This does not cost money. If you encounter any problems in the game, or have any suggestions, you can contact customer service (click next to the base - game help - customer service - fill in the corresponding questions), and we will serve you. We will continue to optimize our games in the future to bring you a better gaming experience. Finally, I wish you a happy life.
  • Many glitches non existent service

    The concept of the game is quite good but there are so many glitches. When you try to get service and open a ticket first of all it takes them some time to reply. Second, they only look at half of the problem and don’t review the whole problem and just come back like oh we looked at it and you’re wrong. So they refuse to deal with any glitch or bug to make the game better. Then the ticket shows five stars and they ask for a view of their service, however you are only allowed to give them five stars. It will not allow you to give them less than five stars. And report that bug you have to start all over again so if you want to spend all of your time reporting bugs and getting frustrated instead of playing the game then this is a perfect game for you. But the company behind this game has no intention of dealing with the bugs or problems and for that reason it is a 100% waste of time. I would not recommend it to anyone

  • The game is fun but…

    The game is fun and I am obsessed with it and can’t let it go.
    But it has many events to let you get some heroes, the good thing is those heroes are good, the bad thing is you can never get full copies of them no matter how hard you work, it needs you to pay and pay a lot. This does not meet the game purpose. The game is also for free players, for those who played hard should have same chance to get the things like those spenders. Otherwise those heroes are junk, or it is bait to let you pay. And even more the new heroes Alfred, if you drop it, it can’t exchange as many medals as other heroes and his heroes medals can’t be used by others. What a junk heroes for us free players or small spenders! Because we spend much time on him and get nothing….
    I agree the game it has to have revenue, but this way it push everyone to pay isn’t good.

    Btw, I hope we can have chance to get some heroes copies in the event by working harder, like: cleopatras etc. only in this way, those old patrons will live and stay.

  • Rise of empires

    This WAS a good game to relieve the boredom during those long commutes. However, if you want to compete, expect to spend money - or at the very least, prepare to be married to your device 24/7 to gain ftp bonuses to upgrade your castles. Furthermore, if you want to remain ftp and upgrade to the newly added level 30 castles and buildings as well as the new dragon levels, then prepare to be committed to the game for the next 20 years as the exorbitant levels of resources needed to upgrade to these new levels will take you that long as ftp to accumulate those resources if you’re lucky. A good game ruined (as usual) by the greed of the developers. (Take me back to the good old days of buying a game and seeing it through). This is just robbery.

    Hello dear players, thanks for your feedback. Our games offer free game modes and experiences, and we never force consumption. In the game, you can choose to buy some special props to improve your game progress. In fact, there are many players in the game who can reach a high level without spending money and have a high level of strength. If you play patiently and actively participate in activities to get rewards, I believe you can also increase your level. You can also join a friendly alliance and they will also help you become stronger. Hope you continue to support our game and have your own fun. I wish you a happy game~
  • Loving the game - one single request PLEASE.

    Every other game I play I can take a break from and then come back to whenever and it doesn’t fundamentally impact where I am in the progress of the game.

    I’m sitting with a level 21 castle, and I do go in a few times a day to load the tavern, set the builders up, and get the troops to mine….but honestly, if I have to continually go in every single day…if someone does attack and impact my castle, I’ll delete the app and go back to one of the other games that I put on hold for this one…those will still be exactly where I left them unlike this one which is basically a “oh you logged off for a long weekend…your empire and your hard word is all destroyed - have a good day.”

    The second that moment comes, “delete”.

  • $$$$$

    Rise of Empires is gradually turning more and more into a pay-to-win game. Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend each month, you won’t be strong. Every week something new is required to be competitive. The developers’ greed is ruining the game for me and many other players who have supported the game for a long time. If the developers don't make changes to help the free to play or small spenders, the game will soon be dead. This is a warning for the developers: many players are quitting or will soon quit this game because of your greed.

    Dear Players: Hello! I'm sorry to have had a bad experience for you. Our game offers a lot of gameplay, and some players don't spend a lot of money on the game, but they also develop well. As long as you have some patience and master some gameplay and skills, you can also develop well in the game like other players. Let me give you some advice that you can try: 1. Actively participate in the daily tasks of the game, complete the missions, get development resources and game items; 2. Join the active alliance, participate in the alliance activities together, and cooperate with the alliance 3. Use the game props appropriately to help and protect yourself. There are many more tricks and methods to explore with your allies in the game. Thank you for your valuable suggestions about our game, we will record it and feedback it to the developer, I believe that in the subsequent game optimization process will be as much as possible to adopt everyone's comments. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us directly in the game (click on the billboard next to the castle, click on customer service), or contact us by email (support_roe@im30.net) to describe your problem in detail and submit account information. If possible, please submit a screenshot. We will read it carefully and get back to you as soon as possible, thank you.
  • Not as advertised.

    They basically just took the graphics to an amazing game, and applied them to a washed out and clumsily designed variation of a city building survival game.
