This is an insane group of bored people. Some have like 12 profiles they run in one union! They will be one person acting like different people like gaming catfish. And they get verrryyyy intense over those badges. ### 2/5 — pls rethink purchase if customer service is trash *2026-01-13, version 7.302* I’ve been a player for years spending so hundreds of dollars in this game before taking a break. I don’t know how but customer support even on non transaction concerns has deteriorated. For the amount of money some people have been spending on this game, they sure do trash in fixing their own bugs ### 3/5 — Great game with wasted potential thanks to greedy devs, toxic players & useless customer support *2025-12-07, version 7.302* Review: I’ve grown my little empire for +5yrs, made several accounts, hit 1 vip8, 1 vip7,5, 1 vip6, 2 vip5, 1 vip4, 3 VIP 3, 4 VIP2, 3 VIP 1 (so Xiamen made a lot of cash out of me) and though I wasn’t top player I was above average and proud of my small achievements. GoS is addictive once you get past the initial slow growth; the stronger you get the more you grow. But I got to a point when only the presence of a very few good friends and sheer stubbornness keep me going, all because of some key points that could be easily improved and benefit everyone greatly, that the devs are well aware of but persist in ignoring, mainly.. 1) only big spenders and/or cheat users reach the top ranks, and it’s always the same ones & hangers-on who win. There should be 2 gaming options: P2w based + free-play based; it’s fairer for players who can’t match those with unfair advantages, so all can access valuable, very scarce top resources; 2) GoS relies heavily on its social web connecting players which has its fair share of idiots, bullies, pushy lonely hearts, predators and smart-arses. Any apparent clampdown on disrespect and cheating is no more than lip service to their watchdog and they keep ignoring most of the customers’ complaints and real losses that could be easily fixed. I was taught that an ugly action outweighs a bad word; however, it’s the other way around on GoS: you can hit and destroy people’s efforts, interfere with their progress and abuse them to the point of despair, and you get away untouched; but the victim speaks a word in anger (as anyone would, after much abuse) and they’re the one who’s sanctioned. It loses GoS countless valuable customers and it’s clear that they don’t care. GoS is clearly the most toxic game I’ve ever played ..3) Arena: the main reason most people leave: limit the number of times a player can be challenged during this event. Or give them the option to revenge each challenge they suffered, one by one if they wish, instead of only being able to revenge once even if they were hit 50x before responding; same for Consort learning: Limit the number of times a player can kick out a specific player’s consort; introduce a protective badge for single academy guests/visitors.. 4) Too many special effects cause the game to lag, freeze and crash often, specially if your device is old or less fancy. Tweak all this, you’ll have a cleaner game. 5) a sterner approach to players who cheat, (diamonds/resources cheats, bots, clickers etc). They’re unfair advantages but they’re still going. Like when we complained about bots, what was your solution? Sell your own bot! 🤦‍♀️ a bot is a bot. Identify, disable, block the source. 6) stop opening so many servers. Fed up of seeing good customers finding themselves alone on dying servers. Or give each player the chance to move to another server of their own choice. ..Other than that, brownie points for your constant tweaks, bug improvements etc. ### 3/5 — Money dump *2025-09-23, version 7.102* It used to be a game about a sultan, but now it's a money dump with a bunch of unnecessary functions ### 2/5 — Pure Honesty *2025-09-02, version 7.102* I started playing two weeks after the game came out, it was fun... now not so much. *unobtainable vizirs *unobtainable consorts * mini games that have NOTHING to do withe the otoman empire. And let me get this straight: New servers: whole new layout, Hippolyta for 0.99 cents, daily rewards include vizier Ismail and concubine Yara but old servers get none of this!? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE PLEASE!, all the ideas we have pitched in during the years you give it to the new servers but neglect the old servers, how is that fair? Only reason i dont quit is because i have spent more than $800 through the years i have been playing. ### 4/5 — Fun game but.. *2025-08-16, version 7.101* The game is really fun I enjoy it but I just wish they could add some things I’m not to far into the game I played it a while ago and I’m just now picking it up again and some things had obviously changed but I just wish the game had more of a story line like in the beginning it has a story but I wish it kept on going with that, like it makes the game more interesting to me. I also wish you be able to interact with your kids more instead of just developing them and getting them married also with the companions I wish you can do other things and have a storyline with them have some drama y’know like for example more you interact with one companion the others gets jealous like that would be so tea!! It’d be more fun please add something’s where you can interact with people and have an actual dialogue that changes and you can pick your dialogue choices but overall it’s a fun game that I enjoy! ALSO PLEASE THERE IS NO DIVERSITY with choosing your character please add some people with color! Some dark skinned people why am I white as snow?? Please fix that!! Like please a darkskin character with curly hair or something!! ### 1/5 — Money grab *2025-08-04, version 7.001* It’s just money grab. You couldn’t advance quickly, especially with new events that they come up with, unless you pay. There’s no cohesion on the plot. First, they added pets to the game. That’s logical… sultans have pets. Then, they added these spirit creatures that are like pets but not really… developers don’t pay much attention to the pets now that if you spent money upgrading them, you just wasted the upgrades because they want you to spend money on spirits. Events are centered mostly on spirits, not with pets ### 1/5 — Muito p2w *2025-06-27, version 6.901* Prêmios para F2p é muito irrelevante, fora os preços abusivos para BR ### 1/5 — Rip off!! *2025-05-12, version 6.702* They take and take and take! This is a pay to win game. They literally DO NOT care at all about their players. I feel used and thrown away by the total lack of customer service!! ### 2/5 — Полнейшее разочарование *2025-03-27, version 6.601* Я начала играть в нее с самого момента ее выпуска. Любила эту игру, мне нравилось в ней всё! Особенно та атмосфера, в которую она меня вводила. Полгода назад мой телефон перестал тянуть эту игру и мне пришлось ее удалить. Когда 2 дня назад был куплен новый телефон, первое, что я скачала, это была эта игра. Я так ее хотела. Зашла в нее - превратили ее в какую-то захламленную солянку. Какие-то аниме-питомцы, духи, Боги, словом, потеряла вообще свой первоначальный замысел. Удалила. Очень прискорбно. Вторую звезду поставила только по старой памяти. ### 4/5 — 6 years in *2025-03-15, version 6.601* I have been playing this from almost the start. This game has kept my interest for that length of time which is extremely rare for me. I can really enjoy a game, but after a while, it gets boring. This game never has. There are some thinking involved in some of it. There’s a little bit of everything in it. I have been in a union for that length of time. I have a tendency of staying away from too much chatting because Drama can get into that. However, my union is nice enough. Some people really enjoy the chatting so if that’s you, this is a good game to also get into. The only issue I have with this game is that I believe there was a new buyout. The newer developers are really concentrating on money. You can play this game comfortably without spending money however it takes a lot longer to do so. I’ve been on both sides of this. You can tell by someone’s VIP status on how much they’ve spent on the game. There are some high spenders like in the hundred thousands. So the developer is really not catering to anyone that is lower on that totem pole. I’ll keep playing it every day until I get bored but so far, six years later I still have not. ### 1/5 — Need money to play *2025-03-14, version 6.601* If you don’t spend, you won’t advance ### 3/5 — A déconseiller *2025-02-28* J’ai beaucoup aimé ce jeu qui a de belles qualités mais qui dérive depuis des mois vers un mercantilisme forcené. Si vous ne payez pas encore et encore (avec certains packs a plus de 100 euros, quand même), OK vous pouvez jouer et avancer pépere mais vous ne serez jamais parmi les meilleurs et vous n’aurez aucun avantage genre beaux habits et vizirs les plus puissants. Vous resterez des joueurs de seconde zone. Si ça vous convient vous pouvez y aller. **Developer response:** Bonjour Leandra68, nous sommes désolés si vous avez ressenti cela, mais nous améliorons, optimisons, ajustons constamment la qualité globale et maintenons l'équilibre, ce qui est l'une de nos priorités. Merci pour votre avis et votre note. Prenez soin de vous et restez en bonne santé ! ### 1/5 — Помойка *2025-02-11, version 6.501* Ноль звезд! Дно! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recently returned and not impressed. *2026-08-23, version 7.702* So I recently returned to the game and I am not impressed. It’s even more of a money grab than it was before. There are events I don’t even bother with as I can no longer afford to spend on the game as I once did. It’s truly pay to play. If you start this game understand that you either need to spend thousands to get ahead or it will literally be years before you can win events and attain some viziers and companions worth having. The developers have continued in their quest for money rather than developing a game truly worth playing. It used to be a lot of fun. Not so much anymore. ### 1/5 — Beware whales *2026-08-08, version 7.701* It's a fun game until whales show up in your server and drop $100k to dominate the rankings and events. Unfortunately this game is pay to win until the end of time. ### 1/5 — Disgusting game that condones bullying *2026-06-15, version 7.603* To preface: I have been playing this game for YEARS and have spent so much money on it. I get bullied on my server for absolutely no reason and no one from this game cares or will do anything at all. they care about is if someone makes them money right? Disgusting. I got kicked out from coalitions because about SEVEN people decided to gang up on me. I asked to move servers. Nothing. I filed reports. Nothing. This is unacceptable. Next time this stupid game wants people to stick around they should make sure the customer service and development team aren’t completely incompetent. Absolutely disgusting game will never play again. ### 1/5 — Mayhem aka Jamie Myers aka POS *2026-05-23, version 7.602* The game is a money grab POS ### 1/5 — Worst customer service and loyalty representative experience! *2026-04-04, version 7.501* I am beyond disappointed with how the Game of Sultans support team handles serious players safety issues. I have been subjected to constant bullying, harassment, and dehumanization. Other players have gone as far as to insult and slander me with derogatory comments that no one should have to endure. Despite providing the ‘Loyalty Team’ with clear screenshots evidence of these vile attacks, their only response was to tell me to ‘just block them’ They claimed the offenders did nothing wrong, essentially giving a pass to toxic behavior that ruins the game for everyone else. It is disheartening to see a game I’ve invested time into allow such a hostile environment to thrive. If you value your mental well-being and expect developers to actually uphold their own community standards, stay away. The lack of accountability from the staff is just as bad as the harassment itself. ### 1/5 — Worst customer service and loyalty representative experience! *2026-02-25, version 7.401* I am beyond disappointed with how the Game of Sultans support team handles serious players safety issues.

Respectfully, Diana ViP 11 (Asian Server-665) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-02-20, version 7.401* Deleted my game data for no reason what so ever…put hours into this game. Cannot get it back ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-01-03, version 7.302* If you’re on a budget, this game is not right for you. It’s strictly pay to win. Also, my server has been dead since the pandemic, and since we can’t take our progress to other servers, we are stuck. ### 1/5 — Burglars *2025-08-16, version 7.101* I play the game for almost 10 years. Recently they started to cheat and still the most crucial- diamonds, meaning money. They do it hidden my in a very mean way. And later respond that - a player himself did this action. How comfortable. Not recommended if you don't want to be cheated. ### 1/5 — They allow SLAVES? *2025-08-15, version 7.101* Part of the “play” is to give away slaves to companions. It’s encouraging human trafficking for one. The other is they allow too much. Several skeevy players like Korgan who groom children that are under 18. They do it in public chat and make them uncomfortable. If you don’t allow it they can cut you from playing further in coalitions etc. Why is grooming of a minor or slave play allowed in ANY game. This is wrong and until they remove players that make minors uncomfortable the game needs to be go. Slave trade is NOT ok and neither is GROOMING. It needs to be a safe place. Where they can play and be comfortable without worry of a groomer cutting them from advancing. If you block or deny the groomer they get butt hurt and stop you from advancing. THE GAME KNOWS AND DOES NOTHING. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gos groupie *2026-07-19, version 7.701* I’ve played this game on and off for 7 years and it’s by far my favorite game ! There’s so many new games they added and one by one I delete my apps because everything I need is right there. I’ll never stop playing on this app 💕🫶🏽🤟🏽 ### 5/5 — Game Of Sultons *2025-10-03, version 7.102* I really love this game but I wish you would put it back on to the Amazon Kindle fire ### 5/5 — please *2025-10-03, version 7.102* pleaseee adain buat mac maupun selain ipad donggg kan mau main di all device:( ### 5/5 — A message from an Alexander fan *2025-07-19, version 6.901* I started playing this game when I started college when it was an ad on tumblr, and made friends with the other players on a discord dedicated to the game. I don’t remember my first play through but I decided to play it again along with those friends, I love that there’s a story aspect in the form of a visual novel, but my only request as of right now, is to be able to replay the campaign as much as I’d like, so I can have fanfic/fanart ideas and concepts. From a returning fan of the game, rosesonfire or aka Neal Franks. Love you guys, and you guys are doing great. ### 5/5 — Mrjames and keown have a great season too and we are very keown in our squad so I hope *2025-04-01, version 6.601* Keownbrtterjr mrjames and his facebooks have always made a great deal more money in this market compared the last two weeks and I don't see how it Could happen to a single player ### 5/5 — Games of sultans *2025-01-21, version 6.402* Love it, it so amazing ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-11, version 6.002* Love this game! ### 5/5 — Amei *2024-08-10, version 6.002* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Love it. *2024-07-26, version 6.001* Best game I’ve played yet ### 5/5 — $$$$$$$ & Glitches should be their name *2024-07-09, version 6.001* I only gave 6 star so it will be seen. August will be 6 years I’ve been playing GoS. Some days I really question why then it hits me. My account isn’t just a game it’s a investment $. Devs use to be about the players but I’ve seen them turn into money hungry cash cows over the years. They use to throw celebrations throughout the year. Really good ones to. Now it’s just a few and they make you pay during the celebration! I maxed everything out in this anniversary celebration that I can without making a purchase. I normally wouldn’t mind the $4.99 but a few spaces later price jump not long and your stuck paying 99.99. I’m tired of paying for everything in game. I use to spend because I wanted to get ahead now you have to if you want to participate in events. This game has gone so far down the tube that if it wasn’t for the amount of money I’ve already invested in my account I would have quit long ago! They need to start thinking about their players again and not their pockets! Stop Making New Servers Fill The Dead Ones!!! Players have only been saying that for 5 years! We are the ones on those servers try listening we play it daily we know what’s going on in servers! Be honest you don’t make changes for the betterment of your average Jo players. This anniversary really shows you are all about those big spenders lining your pocket. Yes you make changes and add things. What that means for your players. “ you gave us something new to occupy us so we’ll stop complaining. At least until we’re board with it or find out we have to make purchases to play. Your players are leaving even some big spenders are gone. All because no matter what we said or how we said it You didn’t listen. Try trusting the average players opinion. I know allot of the players here. We played other war games together. We we’re big spenders on one of the greatest games. As we watched its downfall and others. We are now watching yours! We shouldn’t have to pay to play a game that advertises play for free. It’s not playing for free when I have to purchase stamina to play. Or I have to buy diamond packs because you need to make purchases with diamonds to play! Sixth year anniversary and your best years were 1 and 2… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
