Good international social chat. I have been playing for years, building my kingdom, helping my clan I’m pretty well addicted! ### 1/5 — Last update *2026-02-21, version 3.29* Just made everything smaller and harder to read!!! Bring back the large fonts. ### 2/5 — OSW was the peak years *2025-12-30, version 3.27* I’ve been playing this game since the 2010s, but it’s finally came to a point I have to call it quits. The events killed it for me, as with everyone I knew from the old days. It’s really a shell of its former self. The one good thing this game brought me was friendships that have lasted over a decade without us ever meeting. Those really were the days. ### 3/5 — 14 years and going *2025-11-15, version 3.26* I’ve been playing it nonstop for 14 years. Regardless of some bugs and up and downs in game support, the game is nicely addictive. Be prepared to lose your account / investment $$$ anytime, the developper can easily wipe you out for different reasons. ### 1/5 — Kaw..ran by two-faced devs *2025-11-09, version 3.25* Have been playing kaw for about 13 years now and the devs show time and time again that they are out for themselves and care nothing about the players unless you spend big $. They care nothing about anyone else and will ban players for the smallest infraction without hearing both sides first. Week after week I tell all I know to NEVER download and play this game. Will never give ata another dime and give kaw little to no attention these day’s. ### 4/5 — Updated *2025-09-17, version 3.22* I have been playing this game now for 14 years off and on was originally in crackdown till the osw with black hand then found my self in mercs legion until devs created a problem in game of clan hoppers. Every even is basically driven by hopping. I really wish they would fix this and make this go back to being a clan based game. Make the events worthwhile being loyal to a clan. It would bring back so many people. Honestly should give this 3 stars but I’m having faith that you guys will fix this. KaW will forever have a place in my heart. Please never disband it. ### 2/5 — Lagging at peak time *2025-08-28, version 3.22* Not sure what happened but lately it’s lagging badly ### 5/5 — Surprised *2025-08-22, version 3.21* I’m surprised this game still going still lots of ppl new updates I missed this so much ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-08-29, version 3.35* bring back Gangs at War /: ### 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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Lost its way😢 *2026-05-30, version 3.33* Repetitive tap tap game. ### 1/5 — Developers Gave Up *2026-04-03, version 3.31* Honestly, I miss the old developers. The current ones are a lot more talkative and outreaching, which is nice… except that when they ask for feedback they say they listen and care but don’t do a thing about it. They take away so much yet add so little. So many players have quit do to being unable to grow in the game. It’s been what like 8 years of the same copy and paste collection events doing the same two ebs (goth/noth) for literally like 8 years. You log into game to unload once and not log on again. The devs I think have been told by the upper management to help phase out Kaw to die. It’s very sad. I love this game… but the devs gave up on it. ### 1/5 — Latest update too wide and too long for my iPhone 16. *2026-03-28, version 3.31* Title says it all. The latest update doesn’t fit my iPhone 16. ### 1/5 — Game has changed *2026-03-20, version 3.31* Money grabber only way you can upgrade.. spend tons of $$ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long time player *2026-07-14, version 3.33* 14 years of playing & still enjoy KaW ### 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! ### 5/5 — 15 year veteran *2026-05-26, version 3.33* I’ve been playing this game daily for 15 years. ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2026-03-26, version 3.31* Keeps evolving never a dull moment ### 5/5 — Eb *2025-12-23, version 3.27* Great game ### 5/5 — Simple to Statically Complicated *2025-12-21, version 3.27* Players allowed to ask for changes; confirmation prompt on buying selling allies; lot of accidents occur and they loose active players mostly here of all the things they have fixed, too bad! Otherwise play for free but start 2 players and trade between them, really one u play always the other comes in handy at times…u get “hooked” on the different strategies and just ask in your clan what other do if u want to add your game. ### 5/5 — Scarface *2025-11-29, version 3.26* Really great game lots of really exciting content and stuff going on in the game 14 years and still playing, this is a great pocket game that always amuses me. Great work Devs😉 ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-04, version 3.24* After years playing this game still love it. Good game socially and cooperatively. I played on and off and seen friends do the same. Mostly stayed for friends and community. ### 5/5 — Surprised *2025-10-28, version 3.24* It’s addicting once you get used to its format ### 5/5 — Addiction *2025-08-27, version 3.22* Brilliant game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
