But the player community can be a bit toxic. The game is 100% pay to player where you can easily find yourself spending $1000s of dollars per month trying to keep up. F2P players get bullied by guys with endless spending budget making it hard to develop your account. The game itself self is also greedy very few things can be earned for free and there are three different game currency needed to buy various tools and upgrades and all cost money. This is really not a casual players game ### 1/5 — WASTE OF TIME *2026-04-25, version 4.130.19* Do not play this game unless you have lots of money to lose. It is now designed for the players that spend big to win. Unless you do the same you are just fodder for the money spenders. I have played this game since its inception. I am now giving it away. ### 4/5 — Gevechten *2026-03-27, version 4.128.61* Ik krijg bij elk gevecht maar 3xp is dit normaal? Het duurt wel heel lang zo. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-03-26, version 4.128.61* Every new update and more… ### 5/5 — Harika bir oyun *2026-03-18, version 4.128.53* Harika ### 5/5 — Romanian server *2026-03-18, version 4.126.31* The game is very attractive, lots of stuff to do, quests, battles, interactive PvP PvPvE gameplay, but integrating a Romanian server would change the entire game. It would be amazing because we are so many Romanian active players who is looking forward to play along each other. Keep it up 💪🏻 ### 2/5 — Vet Deathly Horror spam *2026-03-17* I used to play this back in 2015 and 2019. Back then you don’t get 1000 deathly horrors just for breathing. In this game they give everyone powerful troops it used to take a grind now it’s like “hey let’s give every level 11 the most advanced army” when it takes a whole day to build a good defensive army just to lose 70% of it because a low level got ambitious. Stop giving everyone and their mother powerful troops or speed up troop recruitment or notch down food consumption for defensive troops. Event troop rewards should be based on ranking or level and should start with low tier troops and work up. Stop giving freshies powerful troops or stop making us loss honor for putting them in their place. Give them low tier or make halberdiers/ Longbow men useful enough to counter veteran deathly horrors that freshies get by the hundreds that they can’t even feed ### 1/5 — не могу зайти в игру более 2х недель *2026-03-13, version 4.126.31* что делать??? ### 5/5 — BRONCO *2026-03-04, version 4.126.31* Victorioso ### 5/5 — Romanian Server *2026-03-03, version 4.126.31* Good game! Good mechanics but consider adding a romanian server ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update heaven! *2026-06-26, version 4.135.17* Lots and lots of update like couple times a week its total BS ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-06-23, version 4.135.17* Nothing but a money grab now how I wish the old ways would come back this app went from being something great to something I don’t wanna be associated with anymore ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-06-17* I m trying to start the game … been playing since a year and half. But not the app isn’t starting…. It is just stuck on the first page and not loading the game Pls help asap Cant find any contact or emailfor support ### 1/5 — Could have been so good, but is entirely pay-to-win *2026-06-03, version 4.132.23* The endgame is entirely pay to win. Full stop. All the top event winnings and best loot are behind a paywall that in *some* cases you can grind towards (but will take you a VERY long time to achieve that many rubies) but the whales (term for big spenders) will just buy every time and win. Ridiculous. Game had so much potential. Genuinely dislike these developers for what they did to a really cool and unique medieval game formula. ### 1/5 — IOS Problems *2026-06-02, version 4.132.23* Big problems signing into account and switching them. Definitely seems p2p ### 1/5 — Dont waste your time *2026-06-02, version 4.132.23* Worst game ever all they care about is making money dont install it ### 1/5 — Can't log in properly *2026-05-15, version 4.132.23* Tried restarting wi-fi, reinstalling the game, clearing cache, restarting my phone and I still cannot log in. Please fox your game ### 1/5 — Horrible support *2026-05-08, version 4.131.13* They take well over a month to get back to you, they give you very short answers, and they close the ticket without a clear result. They make it impossible in some instances to cancel subscription. I had to cancel my card to get this greedy company to stop charging my card. ### 1/5 — Download if you want to lose your time, money, and health *2026-05-08, version 4.131.13* I’ve been playing this game for more than 10 years, you can tell I want to play but one day I woke up to all my castles burned down, no troops, thousands and thousands of troops all slaughtered like if there was no point of having defenders. To recover from this military talking you need to spend more than $100 bucks or almost a month to recover the troops that you lost in battle. I have no coins no rubies no troops only restless castles with tons but tons of wood and rock :/ game I’m really unbalanced. You can start playing and you’ll find yourself in a trap nowhere to go but to a giant trap where big players will stomp you in seconds and you’ll back to the beginning. ### 1/5 — Don’t play this game! *2026-05-01, version 4.130.19* They make it impossible to cancel subscriptions, they manipulate the numbers in the store to get you to buy more and more for the exact same thing. Screw this game. Even if you delete your acc you can’t get rid of a subscription, they keep charging you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bom jogo de estratégia *2026-08-18* Recomendo, tinham que investir em anúncios para trazer novos playera ### 5/5 — Machine à fric *2026-07-29* Tout sera fait pour que tu utilises ta CB si tu veux augmenter rapidement. Si tu n’utilises pas au bout d’un moment tu vas te lasser car tu seras tout le temps à la traîne. Attention de ne pas devenir accro, car tu risques de jouer au détriment de ta santé, ton sommeil et la vie réelle ! Bref, L’idée de départ était bonne maisIl y a toujours des petits malins qui s’approprie le jeu et les évènements du coup compliqué pour rivaliser avec ceux qui jouent avec la carte de crédit on décroche assez rapidement sauf si on a que ça à faire de sa journée. J’ai mis cinq étoiles pour que mon commentaire apparaisse. ### 5/5 — WE NEED TRANSPARENCY MODE *2026-07-08, version 4.136.43* NOW ### 5/5 — 😊😊😊😊🤩 *2026-07-07* Bon jeu en free to play et progression facile Il faudrait améliorer certains mécanismes du jeu qui sont là depuis longtemps comme les récompenses quotidiennes ou les tâches quotidiennes a réalisé Au haut niveau le jeu est très difficile sans argent 💰 mais toujours agréable Merci ### 5/5 — The best, love it *2026-07-03* The best medieval war game by far, by far ### 5/5 — Every year *2026-06-08, version 4.134.27* I’ve been playing this since it came out every year I make a new account usually I use a name like Ieuan is the king but this time since I’m 18 I’m using real names for my kingdom like windhelm and knightfall peak game ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-05-28* Coloca emboscada de ataques. Por ex eu posso fazer uma emboscada e atacar o exército que está vindo me atacar ### 5/5 — Exceptionnel *2026-05-17, version 4.132.23* Le jeu est génial ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-04, version 4.128.61* Good game play ### 5/5 — Very fun game never gets old *2026-04-01, version 4.128.61* This game is extremely fun. I have created an account over the last 12 years on 3 separate occasions. Just got busy with life and it was kind of fun to start from scratch. I have played this current account for 5 years. Like most mobile games the more you spend the easier the game. But let’s be honest all hobbies cost money. This game has it all. If you want a chill castle builder game it can be that. If you want people to play with there is alliances for that. If you want to go to war there is definitely that. If you want a new hobby and you are willing to budget a little bit of coin for it this is your game. Military strategy with a great helpful discord community. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
