Pretty good game
Love this game!
Avoid. Do not waste your time and money. Avoid.
This game is so heavily weighted towards spenders despite friendly content creators saying otherwise. Watched people spending hundreds per day, highly addicted to this bottomless money pit. These games are a dopamine graveyard and I’m not surprised people fall into the trap of hemorrhaging money into them.
When it became blatantly obvious that it is ONLY geared toward heavily invested pay to win players I quit.
Thankfully I was able to refund all my expenses via App Store, and deleted the app. Avoid. Save your money. Save your time.
Similar to gambling industry there should be safeguarding mechanisms to prevent people overspending and becoming addicted.
If just one person sees this and decides not to download I’ll not see the last two weeks as total waste of time.
Response from developer
Thank you very much for giving us a try. We appreciate your feedback. We are constantly optimizing the game and hoping to bring you a better campaign experience!
Why do this to us???
EDIT: since this review I have had normal ads from this app. I have also seen refreshing 8 second ads regularly. That is a welcome change. There has also been a generic dev response. I will leave this review as is while I do as the asked on contact and circle back to update this review…. As I said refreshing 8 second ads are to be commended and credit for that.
Great game! Needs tweaks
However, there are a lot of flaws that the developers are trying to fix but taking the wrong approach.
They just sent out a “memo” in the game telling people about the server reset coming soon. And I think that is a good idea, resetting the server is a good way to hinder super alliances with over 100 people in them. (personal city growth won’t be affected, but hero lvl, artifact lvl, alliance, etc… will be reset/wiped) But the problem is they will just join the same alliance as soon as the wipe happens. Making the small alliances have to start over with their maybe 20-23 people while the super alliances have a 50ish member head start when it comes to donations, fighting, etc. A tweak that I think NEEDS to happen is drastically drop the max number of people able to be in an alliance. (40-50, just an example) This will do 2 things. It will force super alliances to select people they want to keep. And 2, the more important one. It will force there to be more alliances in the region and force more battles. Which is half of the game. The super alliances are sucking the fun out of half the game, bullying little alliances into doing what they want.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We have received your suggestion. Due to the recent feedback from players about the Super League, our team has realized a series of bad effects brought about by the Super League, and is gradually taking restrictive measures. We will carefully consider your suggestion to limit the number of alliance members, and we are very grateful to you. Our game has just been released, and we especially need the valuable opinions of all players. If you have other ideas, welcome to contact us. Thank you.
An improved upon rise of kingdoms
While there are problems, such as still being a game that has in store purchases, but the game makes it up by allowing easy and seem less transition into levelling up.
Most of all the characters have story and personality, where the voices make them feel alive, although not all are voiced. Still, unlike rise of kingdoms, this game provides a story and characters that you can invest in. Personally I like the angelic beings and their view on mortal beings.
Nothing like advertised
But as usual, it’s just another strategy game where you take teeny tiny groups to march to another area and get a resource, scout, or attack. Ok I could deal with that. But where’s the cool combat scenes and graphics? Not once so far have I seen any battle that is like what’s advertised. Again teeny little characters that fire arrows, spells, or hit with a weapon. Even zoomed it’s nothing impressive. Lost interest fast.
And if you don’t connect with others online, more of a solo player here. Why even bother?
The amount of notifications is a second career! Another major reason I quit. I have a job and a spouse, this game you can’t just pick up and play. No you need to check every little notification because there is some crumb of a resource to collect.
Looks beautiful, but another carbon copy strategy game that doesn’t play t all like they advertise. Feels fraudulent to me in some ways.
Disappointing customer service and buggy game
The bugs had massive negative impacts to both free to play and players that paid, no wonder the community died! Play at your risk if you don’t mind losing time!
