I wish I’d know that because I wouldn’t have bothered starting, makes me sad to let my village die but not sad enough to spend hundreds of dollars ### 2/5 — Played since server 1 opened *2026-08-26, version 1.2.30* So how do I write a review… Don’t start in all honestly, the trailer and description does not match the gameplay… everything is tailored to encourage you to spend… endgame is just kvk in which you get stomped on by whales… servers are unstable and the gap between F2P and spenders is as far as mars… hero’s don’t make sense and again funnelled to push you to pay these devs fomo 0.99 offers… even when you give feedback they don’t make any positive changes to make it better for low spenders and make very little effort after you finish the main campaign the story Totaly ends… your castle becomes a redundant farm and after a while the game becomes a log in simulator because you are only active over tribal showdown and kvk vale… out side of this you just need to be lucky to get and tribe of good people you will come back for the players before you come back for the game. Don’t start it’s not worth the ££££ you will put into this game. ### 2/5 — Biggest waste of money *2026-08-21, version 1.2.26* Game won’t let you attack passes for points while your teammates attack with reckless abandon. Enemies somehow able to teleport in when the gates are closed to them. I ask live support about it. “We’ll look at it tomorrow and get back to you”. Doesn’t help you when it’s their fault. Game crashes every 5 seconds so you can’t do Jack in it. Used to love this game, dumped money into it; now the help is less frequent, rewards for updating the app are minuscule. They originally got me cuz the ads were more authentic to the Viking Age. Now they got spaceships and green blobs. Waste of time and money. ### 2/5 — Más dinero que estrategia!!! 💸🎮 *2026-08-18, version 1.2.20* Fate War podría ser un buen juego, pero se ha convertido en un “paga para competir”. Prácticamente cada evento, mejora o cosa nueva viene acompañada de paquetes carísimos y de una presión constante para gastar dinero si quieres avanzar o competir con los mejores. En vez de premiar el tiempo, la estrategia y la constancia de los jugadores, parece que premia principalmente a quien más dinero esté dispuesto a gastar. Cada cosa que sale quieren venderla, y muchas veces a precios exagerados. Personalmente, ya se siente más como estar entrando a un casino que a un juego de estrategia. Siempre hay otra oferta, otro paquete, otra promoción y otra razón para sacar la tarjeta. Un juego debería ser divertido, no hacer sentir al jugador que tiene que estar comprando constantemente para poder disfrutarlo o mantenerse competitivo. Menos presión para gastar y más recompensa por realmente jugar. ### 2/5 — Fate of war *2026-07-27, version 1.2.12* Nice graphic good game play Very unstable constantly getting dropped from server ### 4/5 — I really like this game *2026-07-20, version 1.1.92* Really good game if you like something to past your time with lots to do ### 4/5 — Meh *2026-07-11, version 1.1.91* So yes,it’s nothing like the adverts but no,it’s not a pay to win. I love this game. ### 5/5 — Can successfully grow if patient without spending a cent *2026-07-10, version 1.1.91* As other reviews have hinted the time to grow your city or troops expands as you increase the levels and the only way to do it quickly is to buy boosts and gems, but if you give it time and develop your economy, then your army, then your tribe showdown skills you can be a level 27 and win tribal showdowns in two player teams for free. Just give ten to fifteen minutes of your time every four hours. Play the mini games as the come and you will succeed for free. Overtime. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-07-07, version 1.1.80* I really like it ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-05, version 1.1.80* Plz make it a bit easier but it is so good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Поддержка не работает *2026-08-23, version 1.2.26* Чтоб начать заново, нужно приложить скрины ранее выполненных оплат. Глупость. С таким подходом невозможно начать заново. На новом сервере. ### 1/5 — Exhausting customer service *2026-08-15, version 1.2.20* Been trying to delete my account for a month now, same AI robot keeps asking for a 99p purchase receipt from a month ago to prove I want to delete my account. It’s exhausting. Game isn’t that bad but very weighted towards people happy to purchase all the upgrades, hard to play if you’re not willing. Even harder to delete the game. ### 1/5 — A game loaded with horrible people ! *2026-07-28, version 1.2.12* It was my first day I was muted for what reason no idea! I asked them for millions time guess what no answer at all!! All they needed was time and in mean time they muted for everywhere so i could not join a good alliance because definitely they would think I am a bot !! This game is loaded with bots ! I created my own alliance and yes i couldn’t able to talk and I was so patience while people were burning my alliance HQ😑!! I bought few packs and went to top people and waited for problems to be solved!! Unfortunately after living like ghost in a game had to leave !! ### 1/5 — 運営がマジで酷い *2026-07-27* ランキング上位になるまで課金したが突然facebookに紐付けしたアカウントが突然ログインできずに、サポートに問い合わせをしたが『待て』と言うだけ、ログインできない間の逃したイベントの報酬、兵隊の損失、資源も奪われ、チームからも非アクティブと思われ退会させられるし、マジで時間の無駄でした。戦争ゲームやるなら他のアプリをお勧めします。何度も問い合わせをするとサポートチャットを強制的に終了させてきます。ゲームは楽しいが、本当に運営が酷すぎるアプリです。 **Developer response:** ご不快な体験をおかけして申し訳ありません。私たちはお客様のフィードバックを非常に重視しており、カスタマーサービスの改善に努めます。もしアカウントにまだログインできない場合は、メールまたはゲーム内のカスタマーサービスを通じて問題を詳しく説明し、関連情報を添付することをお勧めします。できるだけ早く対応いたします。ご理解とご支援に感謝いたします。 ### 1/5 — Bugs Galore *2026-07-27, version 1.2.12* Too many bugs, some major. Bring your patience. ### 1/5 — Unreasonable matchmaking *2026-07-26, version 1.2.12* Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unfair Sunken Harbor Matchmaking for Server 117 Dear IGG Support Team, I am writing to formally express our serious concern and disappointment regarding the matchmaking of Server 117 in the current Sunken Harbor event. The current matchmaking cannot be considered fair or balanced for several reasons. First and foremost, Server 117 was opened significantly later than the servers it has been matched against. As a result, our server has had considerably less time to develop its player base, heroes, technology, T6 progression, and overall account strength. Despite this obvious disadvantage, Server 117 has been placed against servers that have benefited from months of additional development. What makes this situation even more concerning is that Server 117 is not even included in the same migration group as these older servers. IGG itself acknowledges that these servers are at different stages of development by separating them into different migration groups. If they are not considered comparable for migration, why are they considered equal for one of the game’s most competitive PvP events? Furthermore, the G1 map is intended for the strongest and most competitive servers. However, the statistics clearly show that Server 117 does not belong in the same bracket as its opponents. To give one example: Server 117 has only 39 T6 players out of 157 active T5 players. Most of our opponents have T5 troops only on their farm accounts, in addition to their fully developed main combat accounts. This clearly demonstrates the enormous disparity in overall server strength, account development, available reinforcements, and combat potential. Server 117 was placed at a severe disadvantage before the event even began. The purpose of matchmaking should be to create fair and competitive battles where strategy, teamwork, and player activity determine the outcome. Instead, the current system places a much newer server against opponents with a vastly greater level of development and manpower, making the competition inherently unbalanced. Players invest significant time, effort, and money into this game. We expect competitive events to reward skill, organization, and commitment—not to penalize newer servers simply because they were launched later. We respectfully request that IGG review the matchmaking algorithm used for Sunken Harbor, particularly regarding: Server age and development time. Migration group compatibility. Actual server strength and progression. Overall account population and active participation. Fair distribution across G1 and the other brackets. At present, the placement of Server 117 appears fundamentally unfair and inconsistent with the principles of balanced competition. It gives players the impression that the outcome was determined before the event even started, which undermines confidence in the fairness of Sunken Harbor and discourages players from continuing to invest their time and resources into the game. We expect a clear explanation of the criteria used to place Server 117 into this bracket and hope IGG will take meaningful action to ensure fairer matchmaking in future events. Sincerely, Players of Server 117 ### 1/5 — Dodgy *2026-07-12, version 1.1.91* Game itself is ok. The practices of the developers however is not. They make trying to delete your account virtually impossible by having to provide all sorts of nonsense extra information. Probably already sold my info off to some other scamming developers. ### 1/5 — Rehash of other games. *2026-07-12, version 1.1.91* Nothing special here and nothing like the ads. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-07-05, version 1.1.80* I really wanted to try this game but in order to do so I would have to agree to the Google terms which means collecting and tracking all my personal information across the web no option to decline without existing the game So goodbye! ### 1/5 — Worst support, worst game *2026-07-05, version 1.1.80* I played this game until it became toxic. The game is unbalanced, you cannot compete as controlled by accounts that have built extreme power that you will never match. They control the game so much you cannot participate. The support is terrible, you have to submit to have an account deleted but eve that they fail at. They cannot help you, cannot delete your account, and you cannot participate in the game. Do not play this game or you will ultimately regret it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fate war *2026-08-28, version 1.2.31* Nice time waster ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-23* Adorei ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-22* Balls irukku ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-16* Jogo é da hora recomendo ### 5/5 — Coolest game *2026-08-14, version 1.2.20* Really great game to play ### 5/5 — Eigentlich ein gutes Spiel *2026-08-11* aber… wenn man kein Geld ausgibt, dann wird es irgendwann zäh und dadurch etwas langweilig. Schnell kommt man nur am Anfang voran, danach ist es mühsam z.b. Helden weiter zu leveln (Talente und Fähigkeiten). Die Grafik ist schön gemacht und es läuft auf dem iPhone sehr stabil. Es werden sehr viele (zu viele) Events angeboten, die in der Regel voraussetzen ins Portmonee zu greifen. Ohne kann man zwar ein bisschen abgreifen, aber für gute Platzierungen reicht das nie. Spiele ich weiter? Ja, ist halt wie gesagt „eigentlich ein gutes Spiel“. ### 5/5 — reminds me of diablo *2026-07-26, version 1.2.12* game reminds me of diablo 4 but with mobile story telling. Well done ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-21, version 1.1.92* Mucho bueno ### 5/5 — A greedy copy.5 so u can see. *2026-07-18, version 1.1.92* This is literally a clone of 1000+ games like rise of kingdoms and whiteout survival etc. The ai cutscenes and ads are nothing like the actual game. It is always on line and I come back to see my might back to 0. And speaking of might, That is copied from Rise of kingdoms. Rubbish. ### 5/5 — Enjoying so far *2026-07-15, version 1.1.92* The voices of the characters stopped but maybe I just need to restart the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
