### 1/5 — Nothing like the ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

If you’re downloading this because you’ve seen an ad don’t bother. 

Generally speaking I wouldn’t bother with this game! It’s shockingly bad. Boring and just clicking skip a million times. The game play is so bad. The story line is bad and means you just keep clicking skip. I want a game to play not read endless rubbish.

### 1/5 — Nothing Like The Ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

The developers say that the ads show a tiny portion of the game, but the ad actually shows NOTHING of the game. The ads are fun and cool and are actually a game I’d play. The real game has nothing of what the ads show! (If you found this helpful, please hold down and click “helpful” so more people see it!

### 5/5 — Just don’t

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

This game isn’t like what’s advertised. Which is fine early on but it’ll start gouging you for more and more. There’s constant drama because people let their feelings into everything. Customer support is probably the worst “customer support” there is. Accounts getting hacked and. CS does nothing. Someone always finds something offensive then will report it. Only thing the people at Century Games want is your money. And seems like they wanna lose players rather than keep them happy.

### 3/5 — The ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

The ads before I got the game made it look cool but not that much 😢

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

I’ve played Kingshot for almost a year now. I usually don’t play these games that long. But the people I’ve met on here are awesome! People from all around the world, have become my extended family.

### 1/5 — Nothing like the ad

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

Nothing like the ad

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

False advertising. Why show one type of gameplay in ads when the game is nothing like what is advertised??? Completely different genre

### 1/5 — Not like the ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

I wanted the game in the ads not this slop

### 1/5 — Annoying ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

Can’t stop them

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-25, version 1.12.10*

I’ve played the game for awhile and the Ads are not the same as the actual gameplay.
