### 1/5 — Customer service decline

*2026-08-27, version 13.1590.1591*

Games great. But customer service doesn’t answer plainly anymore. General response and some times bogus automated answer not relevant to the questions asked. Leaving BHG platforms

### 1/5 — Used to be good.

*2026-08-24, version 13.1590.1590*

I have played this app since is started over 10 years ago  it’s now been infected with hackers /cheats using AI to overwrite the code and hack the game.

### 1/5 — Too complex

*2026-08-21, version 13.1590.1590*

After ten years I’m growing increasingly bored with Dominations and its overly complex functions. It fails to entertain. Give me Red Alert any day.

### 5/5 — Kadhum

*2026-08-19, version 13.1590.1590*

Wow ! Very nice game I love that game too much.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-08-19, version 13.1590.1590*

Recently made a purchase in game, but the item never landed. Customer service denied the transaction, which they refused to refund and refused to provide the item. Absolute jokers.

### 1/5 — Sucks.

*2026-08-18, version 13.1590.1590*

Rigged bs game

### 1/5 — Several years of review info.

*2026-08-15, version 13.1590.1590*

I’ve played this game for over 7 years. This game is fun, but I’ve spent years working on different attack strategies and spending money to get the items to help make successful attacks. Over those several years there have been several “rebalances” which negated all the years of work I put in, and the money that was spent on this game. This game is enjoyable, but also very frustrating.
