### 4/5 — 👌

*2026-07-21, version 1.142.4*

Great game. Very battery consuming

### 2/5 — What?

*2026-07-17, version 1.142.4*

I take it this game is the precursor to HoH.  I’m glad I didn’t find it first as it manages to include all the things that make HoH irritating without adding any of the things which make it engaging.  I suggest you give this one a miss unless you have lots of time on your hands and lack the imagination to fill that time with something interesting.

### 3/5 — Was Good game but some questionable changes

*2026-06-24, version 1.140.56*

Still kicking along. Some good, some frustrating. Had to increase stars as they automatically set up the second round of a fight!  such a relief, and was a needed feature

### 2/5 — Game broken

*2026-06-24, version 1.140.56*

Well that latest update certainly was bad, can’t even open the game now!

### 2/5 — CMスキップできない

*2026-06-13, version 1.139.5*

最近のCM報酬ですが詐欺サイト以上に酷くスキップできないしなんならフリーズします。２つ同時やメ○ント○リはすぐにアプリを再起動してください。

### 5/5 — Игра отличная

*2026-05-14, version 1.137.7*

Игра супер! Давно искал что то на подобии

### 4/5 — Please some bugs

*2026-05-10, version 1.137.6*

The game is great but there is a bug where you don’t see the next item your going to get from the workshops please fix it inoo games

### 2/5 — Erros atrapalham demais

*2026-05-05*

O jogo é até bacana, porém a quantidade de erros que dá torna o jogo insuportável. E não é fácil enviar os erros ou então achar algum suporte.

### 4/5 — Добавить

*2026-05-02, version 1.136.4*

Добавьте ещё новые века пожалуйста

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-02, version 1.136.4*

Favorite game not too easy that it’s boring but not too hard that it’s frustrating very good enjoyable conquest. One recommendation for the next update, make Egypt and china and the other ones be able to produce a small infantry or archer force, would make more fun

### 5/5 — 上手 3 個月的感受

*2026-04-25, version 1.136.3*

這遊戲越玩越上癮：
第一：它極弱的社交屬性，讓你沒有任何攀比競爭的心理，想怎麼玩就怎麼玩，不像其他國產遊戲，在一個羣裏比，雖然表面上很和諧，但心裡彼此還是有競爭的。
第二：活動非常合理。不像國產遊戲，點不完的紅點，很多都是定時。這個遊戲的活動時間非常自由，有空就做，沒空就歇。而且它不會影響進度。
第三，這個遊戲其實對建築陣型的擺放要求非常高。但是你查不到相關的資料。如果這款遊戲主要玩家是中國玩家的話，就會有非常多的攻略可以去查。那這樣也有好處，你利用自己在建築排放上的優勢，可以比其他玩家領先好幾個時代。

### 5/5 — Building arrangement

*2026-04-23, version 1.136.3*

Hello, developer, can you design it so that the four directions of the building can be adjusted? At present, it can only be adjusted left and right, and some buildings are not coordinated. Looking forward to your reply.

### 1/5 — Full of broken ads

*2026-08-27, version 1.145.3*

Lots of ads that let you start watching but doesn’t let you go back to the game and have to restart each time

### 1/5 — To developer: ver 1.144.5 update  fixes did not resolve +1 or +2 worker for house level upgrade

*2026-08-22, version 1.144.5*

Have pictures to prove recent update or fixes did not resolve missing +1 or +2 worker after house upgrades

### 1/5 — Reasons why I give one star

*2026-07-18, version 1.142.4*

So multiple times there have been bugs in the game that effect being able to complete events or acquire key items or maintain a happy and active alliance and writing into support will usually get you a reasonably fast reply back but no matter what issues on their end has caused certain players to not be able to receive the same items the players not effected by the issues have received and no matter how much wasted time or inconvenience the player endures the company just refuses to make it right by either making sure the players active receive the items or give some sort of compensation to make up for the issues as is standard policy for just about every game I’ve ever played on android or iOS.  This hasn’t been a one time issue as well I have played the game quite awhile and have had to submit numerous tickets because of issues in the game uncontrollable by me & outside of the issue eventually being fixed none of the losses ever get comped. If the issues were rare that might be understandable but the latest issue was a change to their game rules that they did not announce in game & they also made the rule change by announcing it on their discord site  within 2 hrs of an event starting  & never put any type of notification about it in the game itself . I guess they expect players to download discord to join their group & make sure to search out anywhere they may of decided to suddenly change long standing rules to the game. When I brought up that I missed out on something because of this I was told why do I care it wouldn’t be like I would own it anyway!  Didn’t even make sense to me to reply that as yes if received like normally had been the case you would actually own it at least on that account during gameplay.  Still trying to figure out what they meant besides the obvious which was that they didn’t care if players time had been wasted or if most players had no idea of recent rule changes etc I would only expect for the issues raised to be considered & for points made to be reasonably addressed and taken care of. It seems to me that it is predetermined in the game to never give any type of comp no matter what problems occur in the game.  Especially when comping their player community might cost them errrrr ahhh.  Nothing   To me it’s a no brainer to do the right thing & make sure players are treated fairly across the board but from the immense trouble I had even finding any active players to join my alliance and take part in alliance content I am thinking there may be very few people actively playing the game. They try to nudge players over to one of their other games  that is similarly designed but with how they’ve handled issues in this game I have been reluctant to bother trying another game of theirs. Definetly not sour grapes here as this has taken well over a year and at least 5-6 different major issues in the game that ruined events or other key parts of the game before I have finally decided to leave a review and start liquidating my account between the 3 players I was able to find over my 1-3 years playing the game so basically 1 member per year lol. Also there is no way to chat with anyone not in your alliance so trying to recruit is that much harder as there is absolutely no way to chat.  There is no world chat and no player to player chat so even in alliance if you want to discuss anything privately with one member it can not be done.

### 1/5 — Não responde.

*2026-06-24*

Jogo Rise of Cultures em um iPhone 13 e eu não estou conseguindo abrir o jogo, ele apenas fica na tela inicial de carregamento mas não acontece nada. Já atualizei o aplicativo mas o problema não foi resolvido, estou quase finalizando a 2° era histórica e gostaria de poder continuar a jogar um dos meus jogos favoritos.

**Developer response:** Lamentamos imenso que esteja a ter problemas com o nosso jogo. Por favor, contate a nossa equipe de suporte para que consigamos ajudar a resolver esta situação!

### 1/5 — Loading

*2026-06-09, version 1.139.5*

The game will not load, like ever, how am I supposed to play if it won’t load.

### 1/5 — 또 하나의 단점을 굳이 꼽자면

*2026-05-09, version 1.137.6*

보물사냥이라 함은 각 길드의 자존심을 걸고 노력 대비 자그마한 보상을 위해 갖은 투자와 노력을 하는 자리인데~ 길드 랭킹에서의 보물사냥 랭킹과 실제 매칭되는 팀과의 괴리감이 많이 심힙니다~ 시스템을 악용하는 멤버 바꿔치기, 프로그램 사용 등을 하는 것으로 의심되는 Not human들도 종종 보이는듯 하고요😶 그런 유사인간? 은 못 막더라도 최.소.한.매칭 시스템이 연승 연패 등과 같은 시스템으로 이루어지는게 아닌 랭킹 레코드에 보이는 숫자에 기반한 매칭으로 가는게 올바른 매칭 시스템이지 않을까 합니다.
이런 건의에 납득을 하시는 분들이 계시면..cut your dick👀
KOR-hovely

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2026-05-06, version 1.136.4*

You've lost your minds with these things for diamonds, the game is too expensive and boring because you have to wait too long for everything from the very beginning of the game

### 1/5 — Le jeu plante continuellement

*2026-05-05, version 1.136.4*

J’aimerais récupérer mes boussole perdu à cause que sa plante.

### 1/5 — iOS26以降でのIphone se2は非対応？

*2026-04-06, version 1.134.10*

ios26以降だとCPUの能力とメモリをOSで喰ってるので設定でFPSを落とすなどしていても頻繁にCTDします。まあ6年も前の端末使うなよって事ですね(^^;

### 1/5 — Unplayable as so many crashes.

*2026-03-28, version 1.134.8*

Always badly encoded resulting in crashes but the latest version takes it to a whole new level, with crashes between almost any attempted function change. Developers should fix the bugs before adding additional layers of complexity. Shame really as it could be a good game.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-21, version 1.144.5*

Quite an addictive little game, has a few bugs from time to time, but nothing serious. Enjoy 😁

### 5/5 — Probability of output

*2026-07-29, version 1.143.5*

Hello, developer: In the past half year, I have found that the output probability of siege barracks refill is very high. This situation has occurred in almost every building of me. It was not like this before. Is there any bug?

### 5/5 — Eigentlich super

*2026-07-08*

Mir macht dieses Spiel eigentlich viel Spaß. Vor allem, dass sehr ruhige und gemütliche Gameplay (selbst bei den kleinen Schlachten) ist entspannend. Bei diesem Spiel wird durch die Mitgliedschaft in einer Allianz zum Glück kein zusätzlicher Stress ausgelöst. Es gibt keinen wirklichen Allianz-Chat, in dem man immer dabei sein und aufpassen muss. Das ist gut. Was mir allerdings seit einigen Monaten überhaupt nicht mehr gefällt, ist, dass man kaum noch anderen Spielern bei den Wundern helfen kann. Dies ist wichtig, da man so am Tag fünf mal wertvolle Zahnräder als Gegenleistung bekommen kann. Dies ist extrem wichtig, da man nur über diese Zahnräder neue Baupläne und gewisse Materialien bekommen kann. Kurz gesagt, ohne zusätzliche Zahnräder stagniert der Ausbau und das Spiel wird langweilig bis sinnlos. Ich weiß nicht, was sich vor einigen Monaten geändert hat. Aber ich habe es tatsächlich damals  täglich geschafft, fünf Spieler zu finden, denen ich in der Regel mit selbst produzierten Waren (zum Beispiel Säule oder Umhang) helfen konnte. Die Entwickler müssen hier etwas unternehmen. Zum Beispiel mehr Hilfe-Anfragen pro Wunder zulassen. oder mehr Spieler für diese Anfragen (verschiedene Server) vernetzen.

**Developer response:** Man kann weiterhin 5 Spenden pro Tag tätigen. Natürlich richtet sich das, was du spenden kannst, nach dem, was die Spieler suchen. Relativ lohnenswerte Spenden werden von vielen Spielern nur noch allianzintern eingestellt.

### 5/5 — Solid game

*2026-07-03, version 1.141.2*

It takes along time to do basically anything but over time it gets better and better, also there are many side events. You’ll enjoy it if you can last at least a few months.

### 5/5 — Игра зависла на переговорах

*2026-05-20, version 1.137.7*
