Also, there’s certain patches of grass where you can build different buildings. I want to be able to place my buildings where ever I want. And when your in battle with someone, there’s really no way to tell your troops apart from the other players troops. ### 3/5 — To many bugs :/ *2019-12-22* Every day i play all of a sudden the servers stop working, and i cant play any battles, story mode, or wars. Eventually it come back up, and hen the next time i play they are gone again ### 1/5 — Bugs galore *2019-06-29* The game is of right now the game won’t let me log in and it keeps on send me to the beginning of the game and you can’t log in unless u uninstall and reinstall The game is full of bugs been years and never fixed it it’s been several times the game kicks my accounts off then I have to do the intro until later it will let me login my account again other than things like that the game is awesome you can climb up without putting too much cash a few bucks here and there and yeah ignore the fact that China puts money on these games or hacks it 🤷‍♂️ ### 4/5 — Games won’t work! *2019-06-29, version 4.6.1* Game won’t load! Says can’t connect to WiFi check connection but my WiFi’s working fine. ### 1/5 — Great game overall. No response or info on what’s going on *2019-06-19, version 4.6.1* Never hear back from the creators. Updates take too long to be brung out. Overall good game but developers could make things easier and let us know what’s going on and when it’s happening. ### 2/5 — No customer service *2019-06-12* This games would be awesome if Phoenix One actually had customer service and replied to game concerns. The first few weeks were promising. The last month or so the gameplay freezes during battle every time. I’ve reinstalled several times, even played under different Game Center accounts and the issue remains. I’ve been sending customer service emails to the in game provided email contact constantly for the last month and not one single email has been replied to. I wouldn’t waste your time on a game with no customer support. ### 1/5 — Hacks *2019-05-21, version 4.6.1* I can no longer load my game. Waited 30 minuets and the developers won’t respond back about any issue they have. This game is rigged for the china spenders. ### 1/5 — Another clash of clan rip off *2019-03-03, version 4.6.1* Mhm just another clash of clan medivel hot tutorial girl rip off game ### 1/5 — Lost *2019-02-27, version 4.1.3* This game is pretty cool but I’m very lost in what I’m actually doing? What do you do in there. It’s also a little overwhelming by every task you do and the pressure to defend a person. I’m just lost in the game. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2019-02-22* As others have said, don’t bother. If you can get past it being catered towards a specific market you end up having to deal with not even being able to play. Touch unresponsive. Gets stuck between mission. Unable to complete some without closing and reopening. Save yourself the trouble. Don’t. ### 1/5 — Dead game is dead *2018-12-07, version 4.0.3* Servers are dead don’t bother ### 1/5 — All pay to win now *2018-11-09* Devs really screwed up with new troops. It is all pay to win now. You do not have a chance to win unless you fork out money. Sounds a lot like an MZ product. Also, hate speech appears often in world chats. Not a good game for a kid when you see it for multiple days. Do not get this game! ### 1/5 — Devs killed this game *2018-10-31, version 3.9.2* This was a great game until the developers killed it. No focus or support for players who invest time and money. Constantly opening new realms without addressing bugs of existing realms. Better games out there for playing. ### 2/5 — Last update ruined the game *2018-10-22, version 3.9.0* They totally ruined the game with the last update. It doesn’t even feel like the original game i started playing 3 yrs ago. ### 1/5 — Too busy to respond *2018-10-20, version 3.9.0* Few issues with the developers, don’t answer questions and there’s a few glitches. Invites to fake Kingdoms, lose your base after months of work, they would need to fix these and quick. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game abandoned since 2018 *2021-08-11, version 4.6.1* Don’t play ### 1/5 — Another pay-to-play idle trash game *2021-01-26, version 4.6.1* Game limits your energy and increases the energy cost of attacking. It’s not even pay to win, it’s pay to play. Is anyone even maintaining this game? Feels dead to me. So slow, so boring. Typical wait-to-play and wait-to-win mechanics, even if you PAY $. ### 1/5 — Absolutely the worst!! *2020-11-18, version 4.6.1* The creators are 100% the worst. I’ve had issues out of this game for the last two years and have never received any help from them. Not even a message back. It’s disgusting. ### 1/5 — Please fix this game. *2020-05-02, version 4.6.1* I honestly can’t describe how much I love this game. I downloaded it at launch and have played it ever since. I normally get bored of games and deleted them a couple of weeks after I’ve downloaded them. But this game I have kept since, however in the past year the devs have simple disappeared, no updates, no nothing. The game is completely broken. Please can somebody pick up this game again. I really miss it :( ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME *2019-12-26, version 4.6.1* The game is completely broken and has been for a while. The developers are making no attempt to fix it. It’s a shame because when it worked it was a decent attempt as a war game. I repeat DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. ### 1/5 — Been playing 4 years now not working *2019-12-25, version 4.6.1* It just stayed glitched at the loading screen any suggestions fix I’ll give 5 stars ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-12-15, version 4.6.1* This game is having a problem, can't play, the whole system. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2019-10-09, version 4.6.1* Do yourself a favour and don’t download this game. All the forums email contact and Facebook have been shut, no update for 7 months and the place is a ghost town Save your money time and effort don’t download this game ### 1/5 — What happened? *2019-09-01* Something catastrophic must have happened: thisgame was going along well and suddenly the support and Devs went AWOL. We have been waiting for over 3 months for promised updates... seasoned players are giving up. No explanations, no replies, no in-game news feeds for months. Someone is paying to keep the shell of the game running on servers - come back!! ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2019-08-30, version 4.6.1* Developers have abandoned the game do not download ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please return Developer/ great game *2023-10-09* No updates maybe the developers quit but the game has potential. ### 5/5 — Relaunch *2021-05-02, version 4.6.1* If dev can relaunch this game with complete function I am willing to replay and spend money again. ### 5/5 — Yay 😁 *2020-07-31, version 4.6.1* This is ok 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Dodgy server *2019-07-06, version 4.6.1* This is a fantastic game... been playing awhile but has become very glitchy and annoying... a real shame. Developers need to sort out their server for game to survive. ### 5/5 — Edited review 18 months in. *2018-11-08* Had some ups and downs with this game. There were some shady developer decisions, but they’ve made some good ones also. I’m still playing it 18 months in and I must say, it’s a heck of a good game when played with other good people. ### 5/5 — The amazing game *2018-09-20* Was so amazing you can look attack people and have your own hero and there’s like so cool and your troops they also aren’t looking so you can have a huge king doam and you have like some tiny towers that shoot some sort of energy and it’s on amazing game you should really get it ### 5/5 — Pretty good game actually *2018-09-17* Going into this thought it was gonna be another low quality horribly made game, as soon as I saw the art and the intro I realized this is a really high quality game everything looks beautiful, you are not overwhelmed with a hud that is full, its all organized, but for some reason the 3 heroes you choose look really bad for some reason like reaaaally ingame 😂 ### 5/5 — Epic Game! *2018-07-25, version 2.9.5* It’s a fun game play with your friends. ### 5/5 — Much better than Clash of clans *2018-07-21, version 2.9.5* It’s pretty awesome because you can actually play with other people besides just donating and being in the same clan. You can play on android now and it’s a live battle, with champions that you can control. It has a new aspect, and if you play for a while, there can be a launch or anniversary or something, and you can get gems. I think it can get big, just people should start playing it. Master OV, a YouTuber with over 2.5 million subscribers played it. If I were you I would start playing while everyone is still a noob, because this game has great potential. ### 5/5 — Guardian Kingdoms *2018-06-22, version 2.7.0* Awesome game!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
