A little different

The game isn’t fully the same as the pictures.

Paying Player Disappointed: Expensive Events, Weak Moderation, and Unaddressed Balance Changes

This game has potential, but the experience has become frustrating and expensive for me as a paying player. The event system feels overly packed and inefficient—there are “many types of events,” but they don’t translate into better gameplay or better value. It often feels like the game pushes you into spending more time and resources without clear payoff.

Communication and community tools also feel lacking. Alliance chat editing isn’t available and there’s no clear plan to change it, which makes coordination harder than it should be.

On top of that, harassment in chat is a serious issue. Support’s response indicated moderation relies mostly on automated checks and periodic reviews, and they don’t manually monitor chats. From a player perspective, that doesn’t result in visible, reliable enforcement, so problematic behavior continues.

Finally, balance updates affected my army’s grade/strength in a way that wasn’t addressed with a real solution. Support explained that “strength is relative” and pointed to future content, but that doesn’t fix the current impact or offer a clear path to recovery for players who were harmed by the change.

Overall: too many confusing/expensive events, insufficient chat functionality, weak visible moderation outcomes, and balance changes without meaningful remediation. I can’t recommend it in its current state, especially not if you’re paying.

Toooo expensive.

It is a very fun game and addictive but it is a complete money dump. We’re talking hundreds to thousands of dollars to really grow and be strong. And no event is free. Everything about this game is to get you to spend more.
I’d avoid it if you can.

This game is nothing like advertised

Do not download this game it is marketed to adults with disposable income and trouble with emotional regulation and poor spending habits. It is quite literally as predatory as any game or app can get. Do yourself a favor and do not get sucked into it. The mini games advertised in the ads you have seen are NOWHERE in the game.

My favorite

Love this game my number one go to when i need to relax and have fun

Ad nothing like game

Non stop Ads. Expensive. Hard pass

Boring

I just want to play the game in the ad not do a time waster city building game waiting for something more exciting.

Bait and switch

Another bait and switch, the game play in the ads is not what you get in the game

Looks like a good game

How can we if we choose one? Do we get something else? I love see those a survival basis only the same one.

Zero

Game play isn’t nothing like the add it’s unfortunate

Spending scam

Scam. Strictly only for those who enjoy squandering money for nothing. It’s a complete rip off spending scam. They can’t even keep the game running smoothly even despite the massive sums of money that they scam from players. It’s a scam! Avoid!

Excellent Game

Very expensive though

Not an average game

On the plus side, this game is extensive. You can play for years building your city. There are lots of games within the game.

On the down side, if you don’t spends $1000s per month, you’ll fall behind after about a year. The game hinges on alliances with other players. Those who outspend you will gang up on you and force how you play and what conditions you play under.

In the end, you’ll walk away from this game and abandon what you spent. But Camel already has your money, so good luck. This game caters to big spenders.

Save your time and money. Walk away.

Spending game

Strictly only for those who enjoy squandering money for nothing

Good game. A little too much VC.

The game is a great but there’s a little too much virtual coin for my liking.

Way to much pay to win

Must buy to be anywhere

Huge time and $ sink

If you have plenty of time and money, it’s a decent way to kill time. The best thing about this game is the people you run into, and together you plan and attack against other factions. But unless you spend heavily, you pretty much have to log in all the time just to keep up with everybody else. If you take even a few days off, your city gets burned and resources plundered.

Annoyed

How do I get the ultimate-disaster emperor to stop popping up?

Boring world building game

Deleted after one day because I was bored. Just another game with different scenery, where you have a little fun and zombies, but then the rest of it is world building and limited by time or if you’re able to spend money on the game. This game is meant for people who don’t have a life. Don’t waste your time; go outside, read a book, do something else.
