### 1/5 — IT DOES NOT SAVE

*2026-06-13, version v5.4*

Your date does mot save and on top of that you have to do the tutorial over and over, im gonna try it again if not(waste of time) bc you cant get past level 10 with out the game going “oops no data save found” inbread devs i tell you

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2026-06-13, version v5.4*

Love game.  I have a Ps5 and two iPads and played 3 accounts on all devices and this reset glitch has been happening for two years now! I don’t link it to anything and still can’t get support from 505 games to restore all accounts I had 30+ levels. I’ve spent a little of my money on gold and this customer service is non existent???

### 3/5 — Restarted

*2026-06-03, version v5.4*

I was restarted twice so I had to redo all my progress on it . But otherwise it’s pretty good.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-04-06, version v5.4*

This game is over all really fun.  I wish you could see the troops you train for island raiding and for defense. Still like the game either way

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-10-08, version v5.4*

505 refuses to fix all the hackers and moder in this game. You can report people all day long but that does nothing. 505 has completely given up on this game. Shame too. I wish they would continue to work on this game. Still a lot of people playing but we are all frustrated.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2025-06-30, version v5.4*

From time to time when attacking an opponent the screen goes black unable to see anything just hear sound.  Other than that the game is fine

### 5/5 — Meu jogo não quer dar continuidade no Game Center

*2025-06-23*

Help

### 1/5 — absturz

*2025-02-20*

nur mit fb ein account machen? hab kein fb. das spiel stürzte irgendwann immer wieder ab. wollte deinstallieren und neu probieren und account weg. cool. schrott entwickelt

### 4/5 — Crates

*2025-01-29, version v5.4*

The crates when you get higher and higher in the stages get less and less valuable just take the base value and multiply it by what level you are.

### 3/5 — This game is great but “developers” in game are a problem

*2025-01-27, version v5.4*

This game is great and I agree with most of the other reviews. But the issue is the fact that people can name themselves developers. It’s gotten pretty common, they curse. which considering that there is probably a lot of kids on here is bad. Other than that, this game is awesome though I would suggest adding game modes.
