### 1/5 — Dead money grab

*2022-07-13, version 1.6*

Thought it was going to last. Bought a year pass, which was pretty expensive for a game, not including of course the small in app purchases. And what’d I get from it? No updates. Dead servers. One active clan if active is even the right word for it. Wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Pay to win - No update in over 8 months

*2022-05-19, version 1.6*

They have left this game to die and haven’t done an update in over 8 months. All events are pay to win with whales grabbing all the decent rewards and everyone else left with scraps. Many characters cannot be obtained if you aren’t a subscription or high spending player, making this game hard for any casual F2P person or even a small spender. If you complete a collection of characters you receive bonuses and perks but one of the characters will be locked behind a paywall. This game has Greedy devs who want your money but don’t want to put the time into game maintenance to make spending worth it. All in all a stale and dying game, do not recommend. It’s sad because this game has so much potential- beautiful artwork, interesting side elements (hair salon, arena, Lyceum, feast hall, guild procurement missions, dungeon raiding, the list goes on).

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2022-01-14, version 1.6*

I’ve been playing this game since summer of 2021, and I’ve made some excellent friends through it. It’s a good idle game, but it can also be played more actively. Looking forward to many more updates!

### 3/5 — Nothing new. Nothing exciting.

*2021-12-18, version 1.6*

Pretty basic tycoon game adding nothing new to the table. The story is interesting but not interesting enough to hold its own before I got bored after a few days. The arts also really pretty. The downfalls lies in the gameplay. Everything is really easy to get u don’t have to work for anything. The companions were the biggest disappointment they have no personality at all. It’s just basic

### 5/5 — Beautiful game with great progression

*2021-11-05, version 1.6*

Love this game. Lots to do and collect. The stories are actually entertaining. Competition is good. Love that we have an Arabian game. There aren’t enough things like that. It’s very beautifully designed. Wish the voices of all the retainers and companions were actually Arab but that’s fine. I’d love to see some more customizability. Maybe some things to your home and also adding a held item to companions like we have curios for retainers. I’d like to give companions items that are specific to their lore. Keep it coming more updates please.

### 1/5 — Awful Update

*2021-08-22, version 1.5*

Listen, I love this game. But since the big update, there have been new paywalls to access previously free things. I used to be able to spend gems on events but now it’s made so the pay to win players are the only ones able to access the leaderboards for events. I used to be able to upgrade my retainers by buying (with in game currency) the clothing items at different stores. I had to grind to get the credits for the upgrade so it was worth the in game play for it. But now I have over thirty times the amount of credits and nothing to do with them because it is impossible to get the clothing items needed. I keep collecting but the credits are useless without the items needed for the upgrade. I miss the old game. I’ve played every day for months and now I feel like the devs just don’t care about anything other than money. RIP to a good game.

### 4/5 — Important for new players.

*2021-08-15, version 1.5*

It’s honestly a decent game to check in from time to time, how ever for some players that don’t wanna put cash on the game you’ll be outclassed by the time you get to the next home.  The pay to win mechanics have drove off a lot of players. There are events that have some things that would boost the game for a lot of players, but the best things are not achievable by normal means you have to pay to get these items. If the devs would take the pay to win mechanics out and let everyone have a fair chance at getting these it would be so much better.

### 1/5 — Trash update.

*2021-08-13, version 1.5*

First of all Lol what with the fake 5 star reviews! You should use the money for paid review to better the game instead. I spend over $200 for this game because it use to be a good game and amazing art and storyline. Wish I could get refund. Then the trash update happen, not only replacing mechanic of the games, also other things without proper notice, Such a trashy move 37games.

### 1/5 — Game breaking bug

*2021-08-12, version 1.5*

Tutorials keep locking up on the iPad and even rebooting won’t fix them.   I had to delete it because it was completely unplayable

### 5/5 — Relaxing ​

*2021-08-11, version 1.5*

Although it's an idle game you can experience various events. LOVE GvG Events
