### 1/5 — Hmph!!

*2026-07-08, version 4.41.0*

I’ve been playing this game for well over two years now, and I’ve had it and I’m going to quit playing it! You guys need to make sure when a player clicks on a button to use gold, it should ask are you sure! I want my 2000 gold from just now, and 3 weeks ago, I lost 7000 gold in the recruiting center! It need to ask are you sure before putting the transaction through! Please refund my gold, or I’m done!! :(

07/08/26 I cannot buy anything in the shop! It tells me to contact support! And you guys have not got back to me!

### 1/5 — Не могу войти в игру

*2026-05-24*

Не могу войти в игру, после обновления происходит загрузка до 10 % и зависает

### 1/5 — Account reset issues

*2026-04-18, version 4.37.0*

God it hurts to give this game a 1 star, but do you have any idea how many times I will grind this game, only to randomly be reset to zero after my server “fills” or an issue connecting to internet somehow deletes all my account save data? And I’ve spent some cash on this game too. I just tried logging in after a 1 month investment and I’m in the tutorial again due to the full server thing and it forced me to transfer. God I pray that the devs return to this game because it’s SO awesome, but right now the issues are far too costly for my pocket than my entertainment profits.

I will 100% return to the game and this review is these issues are addressed.. though the lost progress and money of dropped is a serious sore that will take some time to recover from.

I really wish this game could go to Steam or something. I mean, I’d play it more on mobile… but then maybe it would have some proper management and account reworks. I don’t know.

There’s like, ZERO ads which actually kinda gets you to spend money on it bc of your trust in it, but these account wipes, (and the Reddit has other accountings of this happening) really breaks that trust.

### 5/5 — I’m addicted

*2026-04-04, version 4.36.0*

Love this game !!!! I didn’t at first but I was impatient lol !!!! Keep it going

### 5/5 — the legendary Ark of war

*2026-03-17, version 4.36.0*

im Mac187, ROSELION i will burn your armies.
this is a great game, most games actually copied their system and overdo it to boot. 

this game is not for weaklings who dont want to use real strategy and take real losses based on probablity and so on and so forth. 

your gonna quit, most of you will probably not make the cut, but if you manage to make it to second server merge, if you happen to run big armies. if you happen to be skilled in strategy, this game will make you crash out, it will also bring you glory on the map 🗿. your gonna have to play for a long time, to make a name. 

go ahead, go play candy crush, or twilight sagas or idk what the normies play. but if your like to test your ability under pressure. 
if you dont mind putting some coffee money towards it, or whatever, the highs and lows will come, but competing with the best ark captains from all over the universe. against the best guilds.. thats how you make a name. and become a total legend. i think the graphics and characters are original, i like it. learn the interface, the strats, and come compete with the best, on a high level. yeah, some invest big money, big egos, and some like me still win, with elite strategy and a good team. see for yourself 😎. THE BEST STRATEGY WAR ONLINE GAME IN MY WELL EXPERIENCED OPINION!

im ROSELION, your weak, come get some. the rest of the games are weak, im right here ⚡️🗿⚡️. ADULT LEVEL STRATEGY GAME EXTRODINAIRE, come GET SOME.

### 2/5 — Crashes sometimes

*2026-02-13, version 4.34.0*

Crashes sometimes

### 1/5 — Хуже не куда

*2026-02-12*

Только потратить время

### 2/5 — Игра умерла

*2026-01-08*

Играю с самого начала, даже медаль сохранил за 1 год. Но последнее время игра полностью стала ориентирована на донат, и качество самой игры все ниже… постоянные проблемы с подключением… игра не грузится, только с впн и то по модеры говорят нужно подключаться через сша… жаль, но похоже придется снести игру, ее время прошло…

### 1/5 — Честный отзыв

*2025-12-16*

Мало того что игра основана на Донате , уже не первый раз в событии дают задания за которые соответственно призы, и потом эти призы забирают под предлогом ошибок , это позор разработчиков, плохая работа , а страдают игроки, служба поддержки как непробиваемая стена , извиняются и говорят что не можем вернуть приз, забрать могут, а признать свою ошибку и вернуть заслуженый приз нет.

### 2/5 — Omg

*2025-11-21, version 4.30.0*

I like the game but it cost to much, & gold goes like water. Bigger money spender take over and boom you gone. Come on
