Finished it in less than a day, and much of it was completely idle progressing. Great graphics and design but really lacks any sort of strategy or additional mechanics. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2020-02-18, version 1.0.4* The game is good but there is so many ads :( ### 4/5 — Finished the game *2020-01-02, version 1.0.4* The game is really fun the ADs give you a ton of money 💰 when in the game it would take 15 minutes to get that much money also needs more kingdoms too ### 4/5 — Great but... *2019-09-14* Good game just needs more kingdoms ### 4/5 — Fun But Short *2019-08-27* I was able to get the last troop in the final tier within a few hours of playing. There’s only three worlds and it’s quite easy to progress, even without PvP battles (which give a ton of coins if won). I feel like this game shouldn’t even have in app purchases due to how short it is. Love how there are no forced ads. Progress needs to be harder, more worlds should be added, PvP less rewarding, and the ad to give back all your troops lost is too rewarding. It takes away the risk (and fun) of doing battles knowing you can’t really lose. I think it would be cool too if as more worlds are added a prestige system was created to help progress quicker without taking away the grinding aspect of the game, just making it more manageable and getting back to where you were before much faster. ### 4/5 — Decent game, fed up with gem buys *2019-06-16* Like most other reviewers have said, this game is pretty much an ad-watching game. To get ahead quickly you watch ads every minute or so. I don’t have much of an issue with it because I tend to just skip them. However, my issue with the game so far is the ease of click when spending gems. I have bought a few characters because I wasn’t paying attention and clicked on them only to realize afterwards what had happened. Please make a ‘buy x character, yes/no’ message box of some sort, if possible! ### 3/5 — Надеюсь вы это исправите *2019-06-12* Только начал играть и решил 4 раза за алмазы напасть на игрока. Сейчас у меня 2 силы армии. 4 раза подряд при каждом нападении противник имел силу 4999. Что за ерунда?! Где хоть какой то баланс? И на это я должен тратить кровно заработанные алмазы?! Чтобы достичь уровня игроков, на которых я нападал нужно сидеть еще где то часов 20 непрерывной игры. Думаю это бессмысленно при таком балансе. ### 4/5 — Fun but short *2019-06-02, version 1.0.4* I finished this game over a few hours very fun but needs more content ### 4/5 — Decent for Freemium *2019-05-29, version 1.0.4* ...but that’s about it. ### 2/5 — Don’t usually write reviews but... *2019-05-25, version 1.0.4* The game itself is pretty fun and easy to pick up and play at any time, a good idle game to be honest, but, the only problem is that there are way WAY too many ads, even a simple fight another person action needs you to watch an ads in order to do it, just doesn’t worth it, sadly :< ### 3/5 — not good *2019-05-20, version 1.0.4* please avoid at all costs very addicting it is crippling ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — VIP doesn’t remove all ads. *2021-08-08, version 1.0.4* Almost every other game, I pay to remove ads if there are any and I get not a single ad. I try the VIP in this game to remove the ads but it still gives you ad options for certain rewards. ### 1/5 — 노예짓 *2020-10-10* 광고열심히봐서 개발자 돈벌어주기 게임 ㅅㄱ ### 1/5 — Stupid and repetitive *2020-04-26, version 1.0.4* The title says it all you do is buy workers WHO END UP LEAVING and this game has no merging at all and why it’s stupid is because what do you do sure you can get far and earn money and buy more lumberjacks and stuff but they leave and that’s it I would love if this game would have more merge to it and have more stuff for you to do ### 1/5 — Sticks to home skreen *2019-12-10, version 1.0.4* The game has too much adds ### 1/5 — Shiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2019-09-10* What the? ### 1/5 — Inutile *2019-07-09, version 1.0.4* Quando giocate a questo “gioco” perdete solo del tempo ### 1/5 — 지독한 겜 *2019-05-22* 지독한 발열은 둘째치고 10초에 한번 있는 렙업에 30초 광고 따박따박 받아가는 것에 부랄을 탁 치고 갑니다 ### 1/5 — READ: I Played to the End *2019-05-20* You learn the mechanics pretty quick. You learn you get 5x bonus watching ads after pvp, which is hard to turn down so you allow yourself to watch 30 sec ads constantly. Each new lvl is the same as the old with higher numbers. At the end of the 3rd you build that up to the Max per unit (149 if you’re clever). Once you’re maxed all currency is pointless and you can only grow by purchasing with hearts which is only watching ads or paying money, except there is no reason to grow. There is no end game. Several leaderboard slots were decided by who got there first. The first hour of the game is same as the last hour. Don’t waste your time or spend a single dollar. Most of this game is watching ads, which is understandable if it gets you somewhere faster. This gets you nowhere. There is no satisfaction in maxing world 3 army. You just get in line with everyone else who did and quit a while ago. ### 1/5 — Fun, but Greedy *2019-05-17, version 1.0.4* The game itself is fun, but so much of the good things are locked behind VIP which is ridiculously expensive on a per week basis. Once the game asked me to sign up for VIP I quit. I know the developers don’t care about my opinion but I’m not one who’d be willing to pay over $250 for a year of VIP! ### 1/5 — Boring game *2019-05-15* If you are free to play the game is 80% watching ads which at that point is pretty much not even a game. With the vip you get to skip most of the ads, and from that I could see how little of a game there actually was. The merging system almost seemed interesting at first, but then it became one of the worst mechanisms for leveling up out of any idle/clicker game I’ve seen. You have to get multiple weak units to create new units which becomes a tedious process. Also the units increase in cost for each one you have making it more efficient gold-wise to buy 2 at a time then upgrade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tab *2020-11-27, version 1.0.4* Gg hfchjfcihgckkgckhgcgckhgckhgvojgcougcougcougcougcougc ### 5/5 — 굿게임 *2020-09-17* 굿게임 ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-09, version 1.0.4* Good but the game need more word ### 5/5 — Десять звёзд *2020-01-14* 10из10. 👌 ### 5/5 — Fife Star *2019-11-11* Прикольная убивалка времени ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-11-11* Игра отличная,но сделаете быстрее обновление где добавят новые миры, а то за день прошёл уже все ### 5/5 — So fun but *2019-09-28, version 1.0.4* The game is fun but it has too many adds I don’t like that because it is super fun and super awesome of a game to play. ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-07-09* The game is too short don’t get me wrong though it’s a great game but it’s ended and now I’m sad ### 5/5 — Cool *2019-07-07, version 1.0.4* Game play is awesome. Keeps me occupied the moment I lay down. Does need new worlds you can visit. I have completed all three so far. Also a buy max would be nice to have. But I do like the game. ### 5/5 — ㅆㅆㅆㅆ *2019-05-19* ㅆㅆㅅ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
