It keeps telling me to check my internet ### 1/5 — UPDATE THE GAME!!!! *2025-04-02, version 2.3.5* This game was fun years ago. Bring back OPs. Bring back Events. Update the store. Release new leaders. Update the game. You’ve done nothing with it in the last 10 years yet still take peoples money. #TDS ### 1/5 — Game over! Bullying players is all the billon power players do *2025-02-06, version 2.3.5* Pay to play game , no support, billion power bullies control the game, won’t let you build up power last update 3 years ago, don’t spend a dime on this game trying to build power, game is rigged, Ember allows these billon power bullies to hit small players, no events so no way to fight back. ### 2/5 — X *2024-11-18, version 2.3.5* Wish they would re allow the game to open up and have new events and get back on track. This game was decent and miss the actual gameplay and events. I spent money on it with an old Facebook I have no access to and or is locked on my old iCloud account that I can’t gain access to since switching phones. But it was great. ### 1/5 — Game Over *2024-10-17, version 2.3.5* After 10 years, this game is pretty much over. Was great for many years. Met a lot of great players and people. Since Ember ended events in the game earlier this year, it has been dying a very slow, painful death. Was fun while it lasted, but don’t waste your time downloading it. Time for Ember to thank everyone and turn off the servers. ### 1/5 — P2W *2024-08-27, version 2.3.5* Pay to win. It’s a very fun game but if you really want to have the most fun and be competitive, it’s a huge money sink, and I mean huge. Thousands of dollars to stay ahead. Don’t play, unless you willing to spend big dollars. ### 1/5 — The development company should be shut down! *2024-04-09, version 2.3.5* Game is designed to steal your money they will let you pay for stuff than shut down their servers for multiple days without warning without protecting your investment then when you sign into your account everything will be gone. Stay far away not only from this game, but that whole company! Scammers! ### 1/5 — Seriously *2024-03-17, version 2.3.5* My game is stuck in region port and has been for the week, no help from support, complete joke. ### 1/5 — They’ve given up *2024-03-07, version 2.3.5* Been playing for a decade… in the last two years there’s nothing of value to buy in game, no events, and game maintenance has now left my entire alliance unable to play for weeks (currently the second time my entire alliance has been unable to log in). The game is a shadow of what it once was and nobody is fixing it. don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-03-03, version 2.3.5* Game doesn’t exist anymore no support at all ..play something else ### 3/5 — The forgotten *2024-02-29, version 2.3.5* Well it looks like ember have forgot about the people who are still playing this game . They need to sort out some new events and sort the Facebook login. Looks like they are trying to kill it off an they are doing a good job. Come on ember sort it out it could be massive again ### 1/5 — New fix? *2024-02-24, version 2.3.5* The latest update has caused me now three days of not being able to log in using Facebook which is the way I have logged into for years!!!! Any thoughts as to how to get in and save my cuties????? I have probably lost everything!!!! Again! ### 4/5 — Off to the Side *2024-01-05, version 2.3.5* Perfect thing to keep by your side when you're doing something else. A good game, all things considered. ### 2/5 — Game needs attention *2024-01-03, version 2.3.5* Been playing Empire Z for years! Please upgrade and get the game up and running! The events and new leaders have been shut down for awhile. Thanks ### 1/5 — The Empire Z Game Has Itself Become a Zombie *2023-12-17, version 2.3.5* The Empire Z game has itself become a zombie. Do not download this game. An enormous amount of people have spent years playing, enjoying and spending copious amounts of money on Empire Z. Only to have the developers abandon the participants without any notification or explanation. Then after the first shutdown, players spent money to replace troops, weapons, armor, food, resources, etc. Now, this server shutdown is repeating the same conditions and players will again repeat the same actions, with no reimbursement from the developers. Apple’s game platform should remove this game, as it is not performing as indicated in the advertisements. ### 1/5 — Dead game *2023-12-04, version 2.3.5* I honestly enjoyed it for a long time. The problem is they stopped everything but the servers in game. Ops stopped years ago, events don’t give any good or new rewards and they just repeat every week to infinity, there’s no room for new players because power creep is ridiculous, the in game currency store doesn’t reset anymore so once it’s all bought that’s it, there’s worthless currencies such as dna in the game that after you buy everything you can purchase with it it’s worthless and just stacks up now, no new leaders in years, and I could keep going. Just pay attention to your game or shut it down dude, what’s the point of playing it at this point besides your alliance family and friends in the game anymore? They are literally all that keeps me playing, the fact that I enjoy playing with them. ### 1/5 — Game is officially dead *2023-12-02, version 2.3.5* Developers stopped events .. so no reason to play anymore and definitely no reason to start playing.. ### 2/5 — Dead End *2023-10-11, version 2.3.5* I downloaded the game after years being away and I am not impressed to come back. I’m being put into a very old lobby with people with powers of 100m+. Someone new to the game shouldn’t to put into a super old server. Implement an option to move to a new server and start making new servers. The game is worth playing but like I said… DEAD END. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Finally Dead *2026-04-08, version 2.3.5* Cant load into the game anymore, I think the servers are finally gone. RIP to a game I’ve played for a long time ### 1/5 — Game over!

I have been playing for a while now and have a decent account and have only spent 20 bucks which I wish I could get back. I know plenty of people who haven’t spent a dime and are big players. I think the problem lies that people wish to be one of the biggest players in the game in a month. This game has been out for years how do you expect to play with people in the 100 billions? ### 5/5 — Years of fun *2020-06-23, version 2.3.1* It’s fun, you get to meet people around the world run alliances and war with others. I personally love most of the community within it. Expect to not get into bigger alliance but 9 times out of 10 expect them to be nice people still. Been playing for about 4-5 years and I still love it. ### 5/5 — Long time gamer *2020-05-09, version 2.3.1* I’ve spent too much money on this game to quit, no matter how many times I’ve been zeroed out I continue no matter what. You should put advance speed ups packs for sale like you did with normal speed ups ### 5/5 — Noice *2020-05-08, version 2.3.1* Yeye ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-05-07, version 2.3.1* Love this game. Kinda old school when it comes to these kinda games but it’s fun. ### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing;) *2020-01-21, version 2.3.1* Cool game. Fun game, excellent customer service. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
