Not like the ad
I’ve been playing this game for about a year now, so there is clearly a fun, addictive factor to it. However, new players need to know exactly what they are getting into before downloading.
The Fake Ads
First and foremost, the game is nothing like the ads. Watching a group of enemies approach your castle from the bottom of a hill isn’t even close to the actual gameplay. The "tower defense" element is a tiny, underwhelming side-feature that looks nothing like the original ads, and once you reach a certain level, the game just lets you skip it entirely.
Events & Progression
There are plenty of alliance events to participate in. They are entertaining, but they quickly become repetitive. Be fully prepared that these events are aggressively designed to pressure you into buying packs.
Free-to-Play vs. Pay-to-Win
• The Good: You can actually get pretty strong if you are willing to grind your way through the daily tasks completely for free.
• The Reality: You will never be truly competitive with pay-to-play players. Without spending real money, there is a hard ceiling on your progress.
It is a decent time-killer if you enjoy a long grind with an active alliance, but at some point, the paywalls will catch up to you.

Why make us upgrade
The upgrades are unnecessary
Kingshot – A Great Game Ruined by a Toxic Community
Kingshot has the potential to be a brilliant game. The strategy, teamwork, events and kingdom-building aspects make it genuinely enjoyable. Unfortunately, my experience has been increasingly overshadowed by one major problem: the toxic behaviour of certain players and the lack of effective action to deal with it.
What should be a game built around teamwork, competition and enjoyment has, in my experience, become an environment where bullying, intimidation, harassment and abuse of power are allowed to thrive.
Some players, particularly those in influential alliances, appear to believe that having power or influence within a kingdom gives them the right to intimidate others, dictate how people play and make other players’ gaming experience miserable.
The most disappointing part is the apparent lack of meaningful protection for ordinary players. Reporting concerns and experiencing this kind of behaviour should not leave players feeling that nothing will change or that those responsible are untouchable.
It’s supposed to be a game, not a hostile environment where people feel pressured, targeted or bullied simply for playing.
Players invest considerable amounts of time, effort and, in many cases, real money into Kingshot. They deserve to enjoy the game without being subjected to harassment or intimidation.
Kingshot needs to take responsibility for the community it allows to develop. Bullying should not be dismissed as kingdom politics, alliance drama or simply part of the game. There is a difference between competitive gameplay and deliberately making someone’s experience unpleasant.
Until the developers take toxic behaviour seriously, introduce stronger protections and hold influential players accountable just like everyone else, I cannot recommend Kingshot without serious reservations.
A brilliant game concept, let down by a community culture that desperately needs addressing.

Good game
I’ve had this game for a year and it has no adds it’s real fun. You make alliances chat with people and have loads of fun highly recommended by me.
False advertisement
I’m sick and tired of watching your false adds on other game or on social media. The game is nothing like the adds, pay to win, boring and annoying
Not at all the same as the advertising
If you want a game that plays like the advertisement, you will be disappointed. It is a standard build your town, pay to win game.
Felt like I was being over billed by the game. Started writing down all my in-game purchases and quickly saw I was being double billed. Tried resolving through customer service and only got form letters back saying it was not them, but confusion in how the charges are batched…. This was a lie! Finally went to Apple and got a refund so the game locked up my account wanting me to repay them the double billing. They are crooks! Don’t trust them!

No duo support
Terrible on iPhone Duo
Scummy game scummy company
Kingshot steals the visual style, pacing, camera angles etc. of Thronefall. But it only does that to hook players during onboarding. It’s a classic bait-and-switch. The ads promise an elegant defense game, but once you’re in, it’s all about grinding timers, buying speed ups, and climbing a P2W 4X ladder.
BUT, Kingshot makes $1M a day not because it copied Thronefall, but because it runs on a tried and tested 4X monetization model. Thronefall doesn’t have PvP, compulsion loops, social pressure, or power creep. Even with a huge marketing budget, it couldn’t make that kind of money on mobile. It’s a great game, but it’s not designed to milk players.

Can’t go back
I made a mistake and put the wrong birthday and now I can’t go back
Why are the trailers so deceptive?
Games like these have the most fun looking ads. It seems like the game is all about defeating the intruders. But the actual game is nothing like that. It’s all city building and then world domination where you have to play the game 24/7 to keep other players from plundering you
не та игра

…………
This is unacceptable the add said FREE AND NO ADDS I was lied TOO! It was 20$ just to get and soooo MANY ADDS it gave me adds when I was not paying TOO! DONT GET! TRUST ME! I DONT LIE!!!!!!!!!!
Not as portrayed
The game is nothing like the video shows. It’s just like all the other games where you have a town and have to upgrade items. No fighting at all like the video shows.
Fake
Not at all like the ad
Horrid
After reading the small print I backed down from playing this game. If you are a parent just verifying the email,
read it.
please.
After reading through it carefully all it does harvest your information. And I’m not just being petty about putting my email in, it quite literally nicks every last ounce of my information.
Absolutely horrible I will never play ever.
