### 4/5 — Great game could be better

*2019-11-28*

This is a great game but the Apple Watch syncing isn’t that great because it doesn’t show the updated information.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2019-01-24, version 1.0.64*

Kind of fun

### 4/5 — Do I rate this game?

*2019-01-07, version 1.0.64*

If you like more in depth game play..this is for you, lot going on and good rewards. Growing on me.

### 4/5 — Very interesting

*2018-10-23*

Learning curve is steep but game really helps introduce you.  Much to do early on snd keeps you busy.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2018-09-30, version 1.0.63*

Fun fast paced game

### 3/5 — Good game but notifications don’t work properly

*2018-09-03*

Haypi don’t seem to be able to work out how to get notifications to function reliable, therefore you can be at a disadvantage if you play on a specific device. iOS incoming battle and scout notifications do not work properly. Could be a great game if they fixed this bug with notifications, could also benefit from having more unique real life (non-alt) players.

### 3/5 — Support

*2018-08-01*

This game makes it almost impossible to contact support or edit anything necessary

### 4/5 — Interesting!

*2018-05-04*

((PLEASE NOTE: This review relates mostly to  English and related language translations, and may not be relevant to other Eastern groups. ))

This game is not perfect, by any stretch.  

For starters, all the help texts were written by people who’s first language was not English, so the ‘explanation’ texts don’t always make a lot of sense (again, in English). Perhaps in Chinese (I’m just guessing here, but I speak English, French, a bit of German and Japanese, and it doesn’t appear to be related to any of those? Also, this is not a bias against any cultural or racial group, just observations 😺). This makes understanding some concepts very difficult.

Second, there are some things that are still missing-things like forums for Alliances (Which is Ambition-speak for what other games call guilds, etc.). There are a few Alliances that seem to be light years ahead of the rest, and stomp everyone else easily and often. (Making the game not so much fun)

Third, on general chat players often complain that this game has many similarities to other games of this genre.  Having not played those games, I can’t personally comment.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that I do like many things about this game.  I find it interesting and just that little bit addictive to keep me coming back.

The micro-transactions, while always present in online games nowadays, do not stop you from enjoying the game even if you don’t buy into it.

The translations need to be better (heck, sign me up!), but if done I think all the game mechanics are already there.

Which is how we end up at the rating I gave.  This game is definitely not perfect and needs some work, but by no means is it a lost cause.  Give it a try, see what you think!

### 3/5 — Imperial Ambition

*2018-04-29*

Well, I was playing, etc I just disconnected from my account and when I went back to the game I've seen that I lost 300k of power and 50 000 troops

### 4/5 — Très bon jeu

*2018-04-16*

Enfin un jeu ou l’on peut occuper des territoires pour avoir plus de ressources, de très beau graphisme juste un hic à quand le français

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-04-07*

Slow going and a lot of p2w players that haven’t grown up yet and believe they are both the superior team/player and that they are the sole reason for life itself. Chat is filled with immature people who have no morals or ethics or sense of appropriate behavior/communication.

### 4/5 — Still early days but seems good

*2018-03-31, version 1.0.42*

Not too bad so far but does seem to be a bit slow for your building supplies etc to build up and so more waiting about or playing other games while your wood and ore etc gets high enough to expand or fund research

### 4/5 — Good

*2018-03-26*

Similar to immortal conquest. Only been playing a short time & seems ok.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2018-03-25*

Good game

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2018-03-22*

In the beginning

### 4/5 — Good game

*2018-03-18, version 1.0.42*

Really good game, just started getting in to

### 3/5 — Good game

*2018-03-18, version 1.0.42*

Good game fun and all but maybe add another world.

### 4/5 — Not to bad of a game

*2018-03-14*

There are some power players that spent money to get ahead, but if you’re persistent enough and make sure your troops are busy, you can build up. Find an alliance to help support you. Only thing I wish for, to have chat auto-translate the text without having to press the translate button for each chat. Can get really annoying when in a battle with another alliance.

### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if possible

*2025-10-08*

Scam, it doesn't work

### 1/5 — LOL-Dead Game

*2020-03-08*

AppGrooves.com shows old reviews as current reviews. This game died long ago.  Do NOT waste your time and money anymore. It was good two years ago...There are about 3-5 players left 😆

### 1/5 — Watch App

*2020-01-31*

Does not work on Watch. 
Data is not syncing.  Really sad 😐

### 1/5 — Game down for 5 days now

*2019-05-28*

Game has been down for 5 days now! It was supposed to be 24 hours. WOW...

### 1/5 — Déconseille !!!!

*2019-01-30*

Je déconseille d’y jouer. Il n’y a plus rien d’amusant sur ce jeu. Les créateurs ne s’en occupe plus du tout. Pas populaire du tout. Trop peu d’aide de la part des modérateurs. Ce jeu devrai fermer !

### 1/5 — Just another haypi game

*2018-02-07*

All haypi games are the same and fail after awhile. They will quit updating this game after a few months just as they do all of their other games. It's sad.

### 1/5 — lol

*2018-02-04, version 1.0.29*

Just another clone of other games no doubt backed by the terrible support from Haypi 😂
No information about how to play, no info on their website. No doubt will be hacked pretty soon as they have a bad track record of providing a secure gaming environment. Usual overpriced in game "diamonds" pay to win model...will be another failure.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2018-02-04*

It's ok

### 3/5 — Rockin with the Casba

*2021-03-05, version 1.0.64*

He thinks it’s not cosher

### 3/5 — Imperial ambition

*2019-11-30*

A decent game so far. A lot of things to research and build. Has a lot of in game purchases.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-08-30, version 1.0.64*

Like many other games of this type but graphics are cool and I like the vibe. Plenty to be doing and keeping busy. I’d recommend trying for a week or two before your hooked

### 5/5 — Good game needs more poeple

*2019-04-11*

Good game need more poeple

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2018-09-22*

So far so good!

### 5/5 — Fair gameplay

*2018-04-16*

War game always requires you pay a lot, but through this game, you need to pay time and wisdom instead of bunch of $$$. All of the items are accessible for free players, I believe it it’s fair.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2018-04-04, version 1.0.50*

Ok

### 5/5 — Just started

*2018-02-26*

So far so good did boot me from game once already

### 5/5 — Fun

*2018-02-23*

Fun enjoyable game that requires more strategy than you'd think

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-02-10*

One of a kind

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2018-02-06, version 1.0.29*

Really got into this.

### 5/5 — Sick

*2018-02-04, version 1.0.29*

Good game
