The graphics are good and the heroes are fun to use. The game is a bit glitchy and the company seems to be primarily focused on the bottom line rather than creating a great gaming experience for users. They make updates frequently and are unapologetic about reverting player progress in the game. One recent update killed about three days of progress and I am still missing access to one hero that other users at my level have. Though I have reported this, it has never been fixed or acknowledged. There are many other well-known glitches that users complain about that also go unfixed like troop counts issues, badge count issues, donate window malfunctions and more. The company seems to have decided to allow users live with these issues and instead focus on new features and changes than can enhance profits. I don’t blame them but I also don’t want to put any more effort or time into this game. A good alliance can really make the game more enjoyable. ### 2/5 — Hero lab level issue *2021-07-28, version 2.2.0* After the recent update I realized that my level 10 hero lab was back down to level 1!!!????? Like what?? Y'all need to fix this glitch or bug!!!!! ### 3/5 — Crashing *2021-04-20, version 1.0.52* I like the game so far but it’s already crashed closed on me twice in the first 10 minutes please fix that ### 4/5 — Dystopia *2021-04-19, version 1.0.52* The game is very new. It has great potential once all the kinks are taken out of it. As long has they keep making the game more interesting, more players will show up to play. ### 4/5 — Crashing, other than that game is decent *2021-03-11, version 1.0.49* The game looks like it has a lot of potential if anything, especially if everything is done right and the people enjoy it; but what I think the biggest problem I’ve been having with this game is the fact that the game crashes at random points. I imagine this is a problem that a lot of others are having and I imagine the company is currently working on it, if not I hope they would please work on it. ### 4/5 — Research units *2021-03-03, version 1.0.48* If we have a research unit for heroes, soldiers and machines, why can we only research one of them at the time when we have 3, it doesn’t make sense. But other than that the game is great ! ### 5/5 — Fun Game BUT *2021-02-17, version 1.0.48* Okay the first thing I want to say is, I enjoy this game a lot. Yes it’s a copy of Clash of Clans with its own spin on it but at the end of the day, I enjoy games like Clash of Clans so I wish more people would make their own version of such. I’m only Core level 13 at the moment so I haven’t unlocked a lot of defenses and some troops and hero’s which is good, gives something to look forward to. Attacking other players bases isn't to hard nor easy, it’s honestly less complicated then COC. It’s more straight forward, you have ur troop army to deploy then you have ur hero’s to deploy. You gain energy points to use ur hero’s ability which is like the spells on COC then you place ur hero’s ability anywhere you want on the base to use such. This game offers in game limited time events unlike COC. This game doesn’t have Clan War, Atleast yet. It’s also still a new game. Which is why my upcoming topic doesn’t bother me as much as it would if I was talking about COC. There are bugs in this game, sometimes I will train troops and only so many of them will be trained when I get back on the game, sometimes taping on the events do nothing. It pops up but doesn’t if that makes sense. It’ll make the noise and you can’t press anything else but you can’t see what popped up. Some of the bounty’s or VIP challenges aren’t so fair I guess I could say. You’ll have to destroy armor or open a box which is easy and a free task to complete if you still have armor to dismantle. But overall I’d say give this game a shot and hopefully the developers will continue to fix the little bugs and update this game ### 3/5 — Doesn’t have common sense *2021-02-04, version 1.0.47* I would rate this game a little higher if it wasn’t for the dumb thing it has. I have to upgrade every single walk one by one, most games like these always have multiple walls you can select at once but this game decided to not, and can we please fix that. The games nice and all, pretty fun but that just really ruins it, even when I wanna move the walls it’s gotta be one by one. That’s dumb. ### 4/5 — Army coming back *2021-02-02, version 1.0.47* I have an idea to propose. Why whenever ur doing an attack and lets say you spread all ur army on ground. Why cant you return with the ones that are still alive ? Doesnt make sense to keep buying them back when especially non of them are touched in the attacks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-07-25, version 3.3.0* I have played clash of clans and samurai siege and samurai siege was still better than this knock off. While the game has potential they need to do things a little different. Like the alliance wars should be like what they had on samurai siege with still the option of 25 vs 25 and so one. The event are also kind of fun. But again have those options as well as the kind of events they had on Samurai Siege. Good luck and hope for future updates to change. ### 1/5 — BUGS AND IDIOTS *2021-12-13, version 3.1.0* So many bugs that haven't been fixed in over a year. And with every update it gets worse. Updates are generally done on Monday, which is in fact THE WORST day possible to do that because bounties begin Monday. Very high IQ ppl run this game. So many bugs. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Developers ruin the potential *2021-11-26, version 3.0.0* The person(s) in charge of developing and updating the game are a bunch of clowns. I have played several games just like this and never have I encountered a game where you literally get to choose what level your opponents are in PvP. You can be the highest level and just by dumping fame (which is like medals accumulated after each victory) you can consistently get matches 3-4 levels lower. This allows for the highest level players to dominate their special events and get the best rewards. Beyond that you get minimal shield protection after your base gets flattened by someone 3 levels higher which makes accumulating resources for upgrades a frustrating challenge. Then there is this worthless global chat which sends you continuous notifications, making it impossible to distinguish between important alliance communication and the global chat. ### 1/5 — Crash, Freeze and No Matches!!!! *2021-09-19, version 2.3.3* Game is completely unplayable. You can’t hardly find matches in multiplayer and when you do the game crashes or freezes more than half the time. ### 1/5 — WARNING: Very Glitchy, many bugs, not a good game *2021-08-07, version 2.2.1* I speak for a lot of people but don’t fall for this game. The glitches and bugs are so bad it will make you want to throw your device across the room. Do not spend money on this game because the value isn’t there. Find another game ### 1/5 — AFTER UPDATE DOESNT LOAD STUCK ON LOADING SCREEN *2021-08-06, version 2.2.1* After they did an update now the game does not load stays stuck on 91 percent FIX IT AND I WILL CHANGE MY RATING BACK TO 5 star I put money in to this game and now since the update I cannot get on due to it not loading and I have a iPhone 12 so it’s not my phone ### 1/5 — New update bad *2021-07-26, version 2.2.0* New update bad for hero’s i upgrade all of them to leval 10 and after the update only notorious stay leval 10 and all other one got locked and i see them all at leval 1 ,, and now to unlock them i have to update the hero laboratory ,, not happy with new upadate .. we are like 10 frndz of group who play this game and nobody like that 💔 ### 1/5 — Constantly kicked off *2021-05-30, version 1.0.54* So I had thought this looked like a fun game but I can’t get it to play , every time I load it now at try 9 it kicks me off once it’s loaded after just a few seconds, I’ll try back again in a few months maybe cause I like Lilith games but definitely needs work , till then sorry guys but if it doesn’t with it doesn’t work so 1 star ### 1/5 — Vindictive customer service *2021-02-22, version 1.0.48* Been playing 2 months had key items disappear due to update errors. Had pics of lost items as well because they were fully upgraded and I had shared images with teammates. This latest update had a huge equipment value restructuring so I am not surprised what happened. But after more than a week of CS rep Jolo taking two days between replies without and resolve I put in for a $75 refund that I got promptly from Apple. Apparently The boys at BumbleBeet did not like this because my account was deleted within days after. Game is ok for a CoC clone but the devs are fast and loose. Errors abound and they run this game like the East Bloc Mafia... ### 2/5 — MEH, pretty basic *2021-08-13, version 2.3.0* In terms of complicated bases and taking high level pvp seriously, Meh…. Troop recruiting is well done, easy to build exactly what and when u want. The pathing of the troops on attack drives me nuts. There’s basically 3: generalists, turrets, resources. Couple more but in general many of the troops are an It’s pretty boring to upper middle to levels. Lots of things to do outside of pvp and if your in an active squad that can help keep up interest. That said there really isn’t a lot of WOW factor in any portion of this game. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for sharing your views! We’re always looking to improve our game.

If the developers would allow you to silence that chat and not get notifications it would be a 4+ rating. With constant notifications popping up you can’t play the game without constantly getting notices you have to clear. Global chat posts are repetitive and many are simply periods because once in awhile you’re forced to post a message in the global chat. Of course being global chat many posts are in languages others can’t read. I’m not advocating eliminating it but an opt out or silence option is badly needed. I’ve been playing almost two months now and the constant notifications are at a point I’m not sure I’ll keep playing. It’s a constant scratch that you can’t reach and eventually will make it not worth it. Edit update: The developers thankfully placed a mute on the global chat! Thank you and I am updating the review to reflect that. Thank you for your responsiveness. ### 5/5 — Google play account on new iPhone *2021-08-20, version 2.3.0* It’s doesn’t give me the option to link my google play account. Only game center, FB or Apple ID. I tried logging into my google account in my safari browser but nothing changes in the game. My user name is William_Wallace. Level 16 core and a ton of upgrades. Please help. Thank you! **Developer response:** Hello! Please contact our Support Team by emailing support@beetrootlab.com and we will help you to get your account back. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2021-07-17, version 2.1.0* This game is IMO better than lash of clans. I love the futuristic layout. Able to upgrade and move up fast. The gameplay is great. The only things that I would add or hope is added soon are: More defenses and heroes. The fact that there are only 3 types of defense and it takes all the way to core 9 or 10 to get bigger defenses is frustrating. I hope more heroes get added. I would love the ability to have a large selection of heroes added. Lastly I am coming from a couple games that got very boring after a while but one thing I loved from the games was that when you attack another base, all members of the army that survived the battle were returned to the barracks. So you only had to train members that died and have to replace. It saves time and allows players to attack faster. Overall the last part about army guys returning to the base if they live is the only real thing I would hope for but this game is great and I will keep playing! ### 5/5 — play this game *2021-06-03, version 2.0.1* Bro this game is awesome just needs a bigger player base which I think would Incase in game content ### 5/5 — Dystopia *2021-05-23, version 1.0.54* Great game. Very well done. The graphics are great and very well done. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great Long Term Game *2021-05-02, version 1.0.52* This game is in many ways better than Clash of Clans. There are updates nearly every month with new content like heroes, units, defenses, legendary equipment, and game modes. ### 5/5 — BEST MOBILE GAME THERE IS! *2021-03-29, version 1.0.51* First of all, it is so fun and easy to level up/upgrade your base. I love how there are boosters in this game, please don’t change the game up way too much and ruin it, it’s perfect! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2021-03-26, version 1.0.50* This is probably the best strategy game I have ever played. The devs actually listen to input given by players to make the game better and it definitely deserves more recognition for how great it is. It isn’t really a pay to win but I spend money on it just because I think it’s worth investing in such a great game. ### 5/5 — Great game!! FASTER BASE DESIGN WALL UPGRADES *2021-02-26, version 1.0.48* This game is so fun and I’m totally addicted I’m only writing this review to get a couple things to the devs, if you could make a base design mode where all our stuff is set aside and we can basically re organize from scratch! Also if we were able to upgrade entire rows of walls that would make things a whole lot faster! Love the game hopefully these improvements will see their way into the game🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 **Developer response:** Hi! We're so glad you're enjoying the game, your support is vital!
