Dead money grab

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.

Pay to win - No update in over 8 months

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).

Love this game

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!

Nothing new. Nothing exciting.

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

Beautiful game with great progression

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.

Awful Update

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.

Important for new players.

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.

Trash update.

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.

Game breaking bug

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

Relaxing ​    

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

Frustrating to play because of lag

This game has beautiful art and I love playing it but… it’s hard to because of constant lag. Every time I press something, it takes a few seconds to load and says “Awaiting Response”. It really disrupts the gameplay, and I’m losing interest & patience to play this game.

Buggy tutorials

I’m enjoying the game. But the tutorials get stuck and I can’t move forward. Customer support is responsive but not solving the issue.

Trash update, trash compensation

Imagine paying for an annual subscription, with very specific stipulations, and then 2 months after you’ve paid the full price, the seller changes your subscription to be worth less than what you paid for. That’s breach of contract! You paid for specific things, so you should get those specific things or something commensurate if change is inevitable. Well, there’s no need to imagine in cause that’s exactly what they did. It’s like they wanted people to stop playing their game. GJ.

Poor updates killing this I’m complete p2w game

The recent updates to the game makes things unbearable and cut people’s income in half. Some of the big players are quitting because of the poor arena update and the hard to get skins for the characters... feel like there is no moderator or support you can contact to give reviews on the updates. Seems like more optimization is needed before people will play again.

New update has ruined enjoyment

The game is a nice idle clicker with some perks if you pay money. I wasn’t going to be highest player in the game but you can still compete without spending money.

Now it’s just bad. The arena change just ruined the pace of the game and it’s basically removed all reason to open it.

Also the pace with the new arena functions are terrible.

It was literally like the devs said “yeah we are done with this. Let’s burn it and collect the money and do the next thing”

Original player

I want to preface this by saying I’ve started this game a week after launch. I’m pretty active and even dropped a little money as a gesture of appreciation to the devs for the game. The newest update two days before this review has killed the motivation and fun for a lot of the people on my server, particularly the whales.

So many features of the game, like obtainable materials to upgrade has increased in price (either gems or in game currency) or been removed. There are fewer avenues to progress in the game and features that are clearly intended to incentivize paying money to progress has been added. Core privileges of the season pass like the vault (a way to generate in game gold) has been removed which was a big reason I even decided to pay for it.

My server as well as the majority of the servers have collectively decided on a boycott to protest how bad its gotten.

I’ll likely update my review as time progresses and see what the devs decide to do, but for now. I wouldn’t recommend the game to new players.

They ruined it

Used to be a Funnish P2W that allowed at least some f2p enjoyment. Now it’s beyond P2w. If you don’t have $1000 a week to drop on this game don’t even bother.

Pulling the rug

Offering services in a yearly pass that you update to no longer give service for? That’s messed up. This game is pulling the rug out from people who’ve paid for services but no longer receive what they paid for. The updates they made to the game are p2w trash

WORST UPDATE EVER

Okay I genuinely enjoyed this game and was willing to spend money on it until this update, I like almost all of the new content but they made it basically IMPOSSIBLE to get the most important items to progress through the game without spending hundreds of dollars, the rewards from the events are now PATHETIC, the rework of the shops makes getting the clothes to upgrade your retainers way too difficult, and the changes to diamond spender events completely rob players of any advantage that the monthly and annual passes gave. Free to play players don’t even have a chance now…

This is a great game but devs you need to fix the mess you dun created or you are going to lose your entire player base. Start by monitoring #suggestions in your own discord, that will give you some ideas of how to appease the angry mob you have created.

Pay to Play

I really wanted to like this game. It was a cool idea and the artwork was great. I knew it was pay to win, but was hoping there would be some competition for those not as rich. The difference is staggering though and has caused many people to leave and the servers are left with a dwindling population. The latest update has furthered the idea that the devs do not care about making a decent game. The whole thing is almost an exact copy of another game I’ve played. With each update they make it almost impossible to play without spending a fortune on the game. I don’t mind putting a little money into a good game, but an unoriginal mobile game should not be costing me more than a AAA game.
