I feel like the old design was much better. ### 4/5 — I didn’t get my gold *2026-08-10, version 1.61.52* I love this game but I bought gold with hard earned cash and I didn’t get any of it but it’s so fun that it kind makes up for it but 4 stars ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2026-06-14, version 1.61.52* This game has been amazing for the whole time I have played it. I have maxed out troops and am on wave 800 something. The daily gift is broken though, the countdown clock is stuck on 0:00:00 so I don’t receive gifts anymore. Please fix this ### 5/5 — What did you do to the characters *2026-06-01, version 1.61.52* I’ve been playing it for years back when the characters were classic please bring them back but over all great game ### 5/5 — So,e suggestions *2026-05-25, version 1.61.52* Great game maybe we could get a empire to conquer in Greece or one In the balkans like Dacia ### 5/5 — More lands to conquer *2026-05-17, version 1.61.52* Hello, I am a big fan of this game, and I was wondering if you’re going to create more content in the game, like new territory and new enemies or something, anyway you can do, thank you for reading this and have a great day ### 5/5 — Came back, even better than I remembered. *2026-05-13, version 1.61.52* I had forgotten about this game for years and then one day I saw a ripoff game on zap games that reminded me of this game. I then had a friend who also played this game to confirm that I wasn’t the only person who had memories. Came back and my progress was saved and everything seems amazing. Can’t wait to start Mini-maxing everything. (Also keep making everything by hand, I can’t bring myself to play games that use AI) ### 5/5 — Great game but *2026-05-08, version 1.61.52* I decided to buy the special pack but my coins never appeared.I’ve been playing this game for years and I love it so I hope you keep it great. ### 5/5 — This game is the best *2026-05-06, version 1.61.52* This game is super fun I play it everyday I’m maxed out but I do kinda want more updates W devs btw I played this game since it came out ### 4/5 — An issue… *2026-05-02, version 1.61.52* Now, I love the game, don’t get me wrong. But I have spent probably 10 hours over the last week playing this game. I’m level 13, wave 110, and have 89 gems. 89. I have been grinding defense colonies and waves for 10 hours and I have 89 gems. That means it will take nearly 50 hours to unlock the Roman commander. That’s a lot of hours. A lot of time. Especially for someone who is working. Please upgrade the wave system to 10 gems every 10 waves gems instead of 5 gems every 10 waves. ### 3/5 — Верните 3d *2026-05-01* Я давно играл в эту игру и она мне нравилась а сейчас как то не очень из за того что вы убрали 3d **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We understand that some long-time players preferred the previous style. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and we’ll keep working to improve the visual experience. ### 3/5 — Bad art *2026-04-20, version 1.61.52* I stopped playing. Bring back the old game art from 2019.😡😡😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Дно *2026-07-27* Рекламная помойка, не тратьте время. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're sorry to hear you feel that way. Ads help us continue developing and improving Grow Empire: Rome while keeping it free to play. We appreciate you giving the game a try and sharing your opinion. ### 1/5 — Technical error *2026-07-26, version 1.61.52* It can’t claim the daily rewards from the 8th day, wasted my patient on these days. ### 1/5 — Crashed right out the gate *2026-07-07, version 1.61.52* I can even complete the tutorial. My unit spawns in and once it reaches the banners it crashes ### 1/5 — Перестала загружаться *2026-06-30* Висит загрузка игры на 50%, не запускается:((( **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're sorry you're unable to launch the game. Please update to the latest version, restart your device, and try again. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the game. ### 1/5 — Dead before it started *2026-06-16, version 1.61.52* Don’t bother! Just downloaded this morning, and entered “tutorial” then bam….. off. Opened again with same scenario and bam…. Off again so, I guess it’s not working. Plenty of better games to play than this.. ### 1/5 — Used to be the best game *2026-05-06, version 1.61.52* The old graphic were the best. Please bring them back I can’t play until then. ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work. *2026-04-14, version 1.61.52* I just got a iPhone 17e and now the game crashes instead of loading past the loading screen. It works when I have airplane mode on for some odd reason though. ### 1/5 — Pay to play hundreds of $$$ *2026-04-06, version 1.61.52* Don’t waste your time this game is so bad, it starts off fun for 1-2 hours and then after you reach wave 100 and start dumping gold into a unit you get to a point where it’s 1,000,000 gold plus to upgrade!!! To put it into perspective 1,000,000 gold on round 500 is $30 and on round 500 you cant conquer or defend anything!! Total waste of my life. Probably made in the 3hrd whorld to rip off rich parents. AVOID!!! ### 1/5 — Верните старые модельки юнитов *2026-03-17, version 1.61.52* Верните старые модельки юнитов!!! Я понимаю, что вам надо создавать вид бурной деятельности, но не ценой же визуала. Старые юниты были вайбовыми, красивыми, или хотелось командовать как солдатами, а то, что сейчас с ними творится этой просто ужас. Модельки отвратные. Просто ФУУУ!!! ### 1/5 — Negative Changes *2026-02-11, version 1.61.52* Used to enjoy, fairly even play, didn’t mind spending some coin BUT, now the opposing side moves faster and the defensive soldiers are much slower to react, weapons speed has also changed. Don’t waste your money, game hasn’t grown in popularity…. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2026-09-01, version 1.62.31* Lowkey had to set a time limit for myself on this game because I ADORE it, I originally picked it up awhile ago and then my old phone broke ):c Was overjoyed to find it still being updated and I must recommend this game it’s so good!!! Warning: Unit upgrade costs in gold will stack FAST (you’ll still make gold relatively quickly it won’t be like a problem it’ll just surprise you lol) ALSO the General upgrades may initially feel a little underwhelming, ie “what is this 1% increase wth that’s not going to do anything at all!” And to that I say remain patient; it’ll take some time but those upgrades are well worth it. Anyhow TLDR I love this game and I really hope the devs keep updating/adding more to it; ima go make an in app purchase to support them c: ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-08-15, version 1.61.52* This game is amazing, it’s seemingly endless and it’s very interesting and somewhat historical, very fun to watch the little soldiers battle and to upgrade them and attack and defend. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-18, version 1.61.52* It’s good ### 5/5 — Great strategy *2026-07-11, version 1.61.52* Good to play, Ez to play, and very Peaceful for 12+, and yes, need to add more heroes and Battalions, game would be crazy better, still deserve 5 stars! To the pros who made grow empire Rome ### 5/5 — What did you do to the characters *2026-07-03, version 1.61.52* I’ve been playing it for 6 years i stared on November 1st os 2020 back when the characters were classic please bring them back but over all great game and if your honing to change the characters Change the whole setup please bring it back to when the characters no the setup actually matched please change it and what year is it that we are in and do we get to see the Holy Roman Empire fall and see cleopatra and Hannibal Barca and Hamilcar Barca and Hasdrubal Barca and Vercingetorix and Brennus and Amiorix and Viriathus and indibilis and mandolins and Pyrrhus of Epirus and Gaius Papius Mutilus and Pontus Telesinus. Come on people add the other leaders as a final bosses and you left out other branches of the Roman military like Equitws Singulares Augusti, speculatores, Evocati, imuniores, ballistari & Scorpionarri, Balearic slingers, Numidian Light Cavalry, and add naval battles with Classiariis if you really want to grow empire Rome. And you’re an Asinus ad Lyram! For not making more branches of the Roman military And Stultipr stulto es! For making the troops different and Ubi est historical accuratio! O tempora” O mores! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-06-30, version 1.61.52* Wish there were more provinces to conquer ### 5/5 — Among us guy 123 *2026-06-24, version 1.61.52* Really fun on the level of jetpack joyride fun to progress ### 5/5 — Greece and other playable factions *2026-06-18, version 1.61.52* I recommend adding Greece and the idea of controlling other factions. You could basically play as the other factions like Gual, Iberia, Egypt, Carthage, and hopefully Greece, please consider adding this. Love this game though! ### 5/5 — really good game *2026-06-12, version 1.61.52* 10 out of 10 game .but can you add Roman cities to take over and randomly people can get invaded .thanks for making this game ### 5/5 — Old game *2026-06-03, version 1.61.52* There was a game EXACTLY like this, I’m not sure if it’s the same game but there wasn’t a Rome theme, you were a king fighting against goblins and skeletons, was this the same game just rebranded or made by the same developers? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
