### 3/5 — New

*2026-08-08, version 3.35*

New update 👎🏼

### 1/5 — This game is dead

*2026-08-08, version 3.35*

I’ll put it simply so the Devs understand. It’s a boring and repetitive tap tap game that punishes older players by restricting growth and increasingly become a pay to play app. Do not download, not recommended.

### 4/5 — Angels opinion

*2026-08-08, version 3.35*

Have been playing since 2010 & seen many changes to this game some bad some good but overall it’s a really good war game

### 1/5 — All downhill

*2026-08-07, version 3.35*

Been playing since 2012, this game has been going downhill since B2B events were released. And now they turning this into a kiddy 142T game instead of the 142,376,982,476,512 game. Im not even going to mention my rant on the Global EB bs that’s happened this year. I’m so utterly disappointed in what the current devs have done to this game.

### 1/5 — New update is trash do not download.

*2026-08-05, version 3.35*

The way they do mighty numbers at a glance makes it harder to tell the true value of your kingdom. The way they do gold is horribly designed. They made it less clear

### 5/5 — Long time player

*2026-07-14, version 3.33*

14 years of playing & still enjoy KaW

### 1/5 — Promotes Bullying

*2026-07-10, version 3.33*

The game is rigged for players twice your size to be able to attack you and you cannot hit back.  The point of the exercise is to anger you into spending lots of money and time increasing your size, only to have the exercise continually repeat itself.  There will always be someone twice your size.

### 1/5 — Bring back selling buildings

*2026-06-09, version 3.33*

Literally cannot catch up to people who were able to sell buildings now. No point in playing

### 5/5 — 15+ years still playing

*2026-06-02, version 3.33*

This is a game with no end but strong community and always something to do!

### 1/5 — Lost its way😢

*2026-05-30, version 3.33*

Repetitive tap tap game.
