### 1/5 — Utter garbage

*2026-07-01*

See above^

**Developer response:** Hello, Sheriff! We're sorry you didn't find the experience satisfactory. If you have any suggestions or problems, please contact us via Facebook (@DawnWatchOfficial). Have fun gaming!

### 3/5 — Another copycat

*2026-06-08*

If you’ve played Dark War Survivor, this is the name. Even one of the first heroes you get looks the same. Same layout of the shelter map too. 😑

**Developer response:** Hello, Sheriff! Thanks for your support! We will spare no efforts to improve the game and bring you a better gaming experience. If you have any game suggestions, please feel free to contact us via Facebook (@DawnWatchOfficial).

### 5/5 — Load hotupdateDlls failed

*2026-05-28*

Unable to open

**Developer response:** Hello, Sheriff! We're sorry you didn't find the experience satisfactory. You may try to switch the device to the airplane mode and clear game cache. If the problem still exists, you may try to contact us via our Facebook (@DawnWatchOfficial). We will help you solve the problem. Have fun gaming!

### 2/5 — good and bad.. updated

*2026-05-22*

first the good. If you like base builders then this is a good version, I’ve played for four days now with no issues. Bundles cost exactly the same as WoS/Kingshot, I play f2p and I’m still ranking in the HoS event. So far so good.

nope.

the bad. The server I am in has been open for almost a month, new players have to try and protect themselves from players who are now doing their second HoS event. Basically players with five or even ten times the power of the newer player. New players simply can not gain enough power fast enough to be able to protect themselves from such attacks. Unless they spend a LOT of money.

Some games open new servers much too quickly, this one does the total opposite.

Sadly I can see myself deleting soon.  DELETED, too few active players.

**Developer response:** Hello, Sheriff! We appreciate your sincere comment. Hope you can continue to explore the mysterious continent and collect more rare heroes! Besides, you can also join our Facebook (@DawnWatchOfficial), where you can reach us and communicate with other players.

*2026-04-21*

The game is decent but there are some game mechanics that need some improvements.. I had high expectations for this game.

**Developer response:** Hello, Sheriff! Thanks for giving us the feedback. We will try to improve our game for your better gaming experience. If you have any suggestions or problems, please contact us viaFacebook (@DawnWatchOfficial). Have fun gaming!

### 1/5 — Копировали другие игры, а думать забыли

*2026-04-01*

Темп игры - супер медленный. За ~ 70 дней откроется последняя награда сервера, на 110 дне была битва между серверами. Во время пвп рейды бесполезны, игроки могут нажать телепорт, и рейд который собирался минимум 5 минут, поцелует пустую землю. Контр игра отсутствует. Сервера мертвые, на них либо фермеры, либо никого. Не тратьте время и деньги, есть много других хороших аналогов подобных игр.

**Developer response:** Уважаемый Шериф, благодарим вас за возможность совершенствоваться. Мы приложим все усилия для улучшения игры. Если у вас есть вопросы или предложения, будем рады общению через официальные сообщества:

### 2/5 — Крик души и кармана

*2026-04-01*

Мертвая игра, с мертвой поддержкой. Интереса ноль, все события повторяющиеся из недели в неделю, рассчет на донат, без него можно не начинать. На массовых событиях игра бешено лагает, часами невозможно зайти, поддержка пишет отписки из разряда, что они стараются, но им пофиг на тебя) Дно полное, пора завязывать. Кто не начинал - и не нужно)

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! В игре много способов получить бесплатные ресурсы: сборы альянса, ежедневные награды и другие. Оплата лишь ускоряет развитие. Присоединяйтесь к сообществам, где можно общаться с бесплатными игроками и получить бонус за вступление. Сообщества: FB: @DawnWatchOfficial VK: https://vk.com/dawnwatchofficial
