### 5/5 — You’re abandoning the wrong game

*2024-11-18*

I love this game more than Atlas Earth. I’m sad to see it go

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-08-19*

After the seamless upgrade, yes it’s easier to navigate from one area to the next, but when you play stronghold wars, sometimes the game doesn’t even register or after you finish the game it spins for a couple of minutes and it doesn’t show any of the people that you lost in the battle or if this is a new feature that I don’t know about. Plus I can’t find my pet. He’s going out and never returned and of course I can’t upgrade my pet because it says he’s out on a mission so I’m a little frustrated. 

I wonder if the developers play the game.

A suggestion, no one seems to like to play stronghold wars our clan plays every week. if there was a way to keep track of your win and loss records maybe more clans would play just a thought.

### 2/5 — Good to bad

*2024-08-01*

What makes them ok is what is bad. Troops need to be able to be able faster or else players will get bored and leave the game. There is small fixes that can be done so the game can succeed. 

As it is what makes it good is what makes it bad
Think of it as really good chocolate that is so rare and pricy but so good but then is too rare and take forever to get it you will just say forget it. Is not worth it. I was going to give two stars but just thinking about it you guys can do better that’s why I give you one star fine two so you know I have hope in this team. 
Get creative..

### 4/5 — Good game but

*2024-05-20*

I’m enjoying this game and have been smashing out a lot of it lately, but I’m confused where the actual money making side of it comes into play? So far there have been no events or anything that you can participate in to earn real money like the app photos state in the store 😩

### 2/5 — Needs alot of work

*2024-05-01*

First, if you buy items from the store, the free ones you got it watch the ads for you can occasionally leave the store after it’s done and not get given the item and you go back and it’s still there for you to wash that again then you’re alliance when you donate resources to ityou can watch the ad tad extra but sometimes when you do that it don’t add it at all so essentially you sit through a lot of ads for nothing and more then often the world chest dont count

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2024-03-22*

I play this game every day. The best part is stronghold wars. My clan does not lose. Not because we are good and strong but because most clans do not play. I believe that with a tracker of win and lose would motivate more to play. Something like clash of clans does with their tracking. At 70 years old I could be the oldest gamer still playing. Keeps me sharp. I do it for my son and grandson!

### 2/5 — Progression is extremely slow

*2023-06-07*

I’ve been playing the game for well over a year with some of my coworkers and none of us are near the “end-game” building. The Crystal hammer spawns are so few and far between it takes about a week for us to even get enough to upgrade 1 building. The troops feel like the vast majority of them are too weak and squishy to really do anything. It’s a good game, just needs some extra help. Up the spawn rate of some items, lower the spawn rate of others. And for the love of god, 9.99 a month for a second builder???

Edit/add-on: it has been 11 months since an update on this game and it’s honestly sad to see, I haven’t been able to upgrade a building of mine in 3 months because no crystal hammer spawns happen regularly. I wouldn’t recommend this game for anyone since the developers have basically left it to rot.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-01-06, version 2.38.16*

Absolutely love the game, I’ve been along for the ride playing since release. I’ve spent hundreds into both atlas empires and atlas earth. I’d love to see more updates for atlas empires and would be willing to spend more if we could get them.

### 3/5 — Good game but…

*2022-08-18, version 2.38.16*

This is a good game to play but there is an event where you donate dragon tokens but every time it has the event now I end up losing all my tokens because as soon as the event is over it disappears and you don’t get your rewards or anything! Would really like to see this fixed because it’s frustrating!!!!

### 3/5 — Progression is extremely slow

*2022-06-10, version 2.38.10*
