It doesn’t feel like the devs are only catering to the pay-to-win players. This makes the game far more enjoyable and fair. The following are a couple opinions that I think would help balance and offer quality of life. I would like to see the addition of an army layout save option? I would be far more willing to try out different army configs if I could save my go-to army. Next, a change in sapphires would be good. Either increase the opportunities to earn them, reduce the cost when using them to upgrade, or allow food/gold/oil to also be used in those upgrades. ### 3/5 — Bug *2026-08-25, version 13.1590.1591* Game won’t download am fed up now I’ve been playing for years ### 3/5 — Good game but $lightly misleading *2026-08-13, version 13.1590.1590* This is a fun, engaging, and well developed team game. Customer service is good but products are misleading. I’ve had to ask for refunds a few times. Granted, Apple is good at that but I wish Dominations was a bit less sneaky. Offers are limited time but they don’t clarify that the service is too. It’s not false advertising but it’s disingenuous. ### 2/5 — Buuugy servers *2026-08-11, version 13.1590.1590* What the heck afterrrr thiiis many year why server should be very bugy ### 1/5 — Sucks. *2026-08-08, version 13.1590.1590* Rigged bs game ### 1/5 — Customer service *2026-08-05, version 13.1590.1590* Customer service never help. Contacted them multiple times ### 1/5 — 语言 *2026-08-05, version 13.1590.1590* 不支持中文！ ### 1/5 — Used to be a good game but now ruined by greed , being unbalanced , and pay to win now *2026-07-30, version 13.1590.1590* I’ve been playing this game for many years and it used to be a great game but now the more money you spend the more you win and they’ve added resource currency to upgrading troops in buildings that just make it not only a chore but pretty much forced you to have to spend money to get anywhere unless you wanna spend months on a single upgrade and good luck going against somebody who spends money constantly no matter how good you are ### 4/5 — Black watch *2026-07-29, version 13.1590.1590* They are mislabelled as English when they are Scottish please change it ### 1/5 — Customer service decline *2026-07-29, version 13.1590.1590* Games great. But customer service doesn’t answer plainly anymore. General response and some times bogus automated answer not relevant to the questions asked ### 1/5 — It’s a pay to play game., *2026-07-29, version 13.1590.1590* It’s a fun Game to play unfortunately when you reach a certain level, if you don’t pay real money it takes a very, very long tome to progress an y farther. Plus you are constantly being attacked by players that do spend a lot of money. They are 75, t o 150 levels above you. So they are taking a big chunk of you resources, that you need to make yourself stronger. So be ready to become stagnant in the game if your not ready to be a big spender. Personally I can’t afford to. ### 1/5 — Game is Not loading. *2026-07-26, version 13.1590.1590* The game is not loading. He says I can't connect to the server. Sometimes it boots up and freezes. iPad 10 iPadOS 26.5.2 ### 4/5 — It is okay *2026-07-25, version 13.1590.1590* I’ve been playing this game for 10 years now, and it is nice, but things here take forever. It takes forever to build something, to research etc., but the gains are very small. ### 1/5 — Obnoxious *2026-07-25, version 13.1590.1590* Popups and flashing everywhere trying to get you to spend. Not worth the hassle on the eyes. ### 2/5 — Old issues *2026-07-19, version 13.1590.1590* It would be nice if the old issues in the game were fixed. Nobody will respond back to me about this. The support team has no knowledge of the game and only answer pre scripted questions. Why? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too complex *2026-08-29, version 13.1590.1591* 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. ### 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 — game sucks *2026-08-25, version 13.1590.1591* game sucks ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Full of bugs, useless support and devs *2026-08-13, version 13.1590.1590* If you’re planning to spend money on a game, take it somewhere else. This game is full of bugs which developers never fix. The support are providing no help at all. And you can never refund your purchases, they will just take your complaints for granted. READ ALL THE REVIEWS FIRST! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-11, version 13.1590.1590* Ads have become a form of punishment. I can take a 15s or 30s Ads but 90s Ads that have multiple transitions that require attention are punishing and not worth the game play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Steve *2026-08-25, version 13.1590.1591* Great game keeps you on your toes ### 5/5 — Kadhum *2026-08-19, version 13.1590.1590* Wow ! Very nice game I love that game too much. ### 5/5 — 10 *2026-08-11, version 13.1590.1590* Amazing you can choose your nation!!!! ### 5/5 — 6+ years not pay to play *2026-07-21, version 13.1590.1590* Been playing for over 6 years and I find this game engaging daily. Favors attacking over defense, but it’s a long play that can be enjoyed in 2-3 mins at a time. Great depth with upgrades galore while still rewarding in the short term. No requirement to pay to win; paying just reduces times to upgrade. This is MY go to strategy game! ### 5/5 — Forever *2026-07-20, version 13.1590.1590* I’ve been playing this game forever, and it still hits. The mix of building, strategy, and real-time battles is unmatched. The updates keep the game fresh, the alliances make it fun, and the grind is addictive in the best way. Easily one of the most solid mobile strategy games out there. ### 5/5 — Preis-/Leistungstipp *2026-07-16* Ich spiele DomiNations seit mehr als 11 Jahren, also quasi von Beginn an. Das hat seinen Grund! Das Spiel kann man, MUSS MAN ABER NICHT mit Echtgeld spielen. Dann dauert die Entwicklung der Basis natürlich länger, aber das Spielerlebnis wird nicht zwangsläufig schlechter. Das ist das Geheimnis für langen Spielspaß. Ich selbst habe bis heute weniger als 5 Euro investiert, und bin derzeit bei Level 455. Zum Vergleich: Die absoluten Spitzenlevel sind für sicher relativ viel Geld bei knapp über Level 500…alles nicht aus der Welt. Ich spiele weiter, mal sehen, wo mich das noch hinführt :-). ### 5/5 — O melhor! *2026-07-13* Joguinho bom!!! Pra quem gosta de Clash of Clans, esse é melhor! :) ### 5/5 — One of the longest playing app *2026-07-13, version 13.1580.1581* I think this is my 5th years with this game. Though theres sometimes issues with the game which do frustrate me, the developer seems to fix it after all. The Game is best of you want to build something fun for yourself for a long time. Kinda like a hobby. ### 5/5 — Bug *2026-07-10, version 13.1580.1581* Then I enter to the storage the game just close by itself :( ### 5/5 — Pork Hunt *2026-06-19, version 13.1580.1581* Plenty of alliance players complaining about bugs whilst battling. Otherwise I enjoy it. Some VERY small text in areas --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
