I can’t demolish or put it in a box/shed to keep it? It would be nice like that. thanx. Neyelli Pereira Costa. ### 5/5 — Visual aspect of battles *2026-08-29, version 1.1.11.25* Make it so you can zoom in more during a battle and enemies, actually go near each other and attacked each other ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-29, version 1.1.11.25* So far so good ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing game! *2026-08-29, version 1.1.11.25* I’ve never played a mobile game for more than a day and just playing this for the last 6-8 hours straight I can tell I’m going to be maining this game! ### 2/5 — Other *2026-08-28, version 1.1.11.25* I in fact like ROK I think it is fun trying get stronger & picking what civilization you a part of and stuff but other players make it like impossible to play & have fun idk why but every Kingdom/server the king wants you to spend money and a lot of it to be there I just keep getting attacked because of me not spending money so they don’t want me there. Also when you first start playing and join a alliance people want you to no life no game I got kicked for being offline to long while I was sleeping in the middle of the night I just don’t get it. ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2026-08-28, version 1.1.11.25* Очень классная игра можно играть даже без доната ### 5/5 — 💕💕😳 *2026-08-28, version 1.1.11.25* I love it ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-28, version 1.1.11.25* Is my favorite game from the world really really love it this game ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-27, version 1.1.11.25* Pour moi c’est le meilleur jeu d’empire , franchement vous avez fait du bon travail ### 3/5 — Hard for cashless *2026-08-27, version 1.1.10.21* Like the topic says for f2p ### 3/5 — A lot of errors need to be fix *2026-08-27, version 1.1.10.21* This game could’ve run more smoothly!!! Changing pfp and then flyer notifications is in the pfp. Wtf. So many errors I can’t remember them all. Or opening old acc back up and they try to force you to bind it. While the return into both clashing at the same time. I also lost my “player” acc I try to delete and reupload. It’s like gone but I have my farms in it. Super annoying. Returning player chat kept pinning itself after being unpinned. Wish to leave that group chat. I tried to pinned enough for it to sink to the both but log in later it’s back being the top chat ### 5/5 — ROK *2026-08-27, version 1.1.10.21* Very good and I love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — If only… *2026-09-02, version 1.1.11.28* If only I could play a game remotely similar to the ad. ### 1/5 — Bleh *2026-09-01, version 1.1.11.25* I hate it sm it’s very bad ### 1/5 — Censorship *2026-09-01, version 1.1.11.25* The censorship on this game is absolutely out of control, never in my life have I witnessed such extreme censorship and violation of free speech. I said in chat as a joke “little kids pick their nose” 30 second later I was muted from chat for 24 hours. It’s unfair and it’s not right. The extreme censorship ruins this great game. ### 1/5 — Broken - August 28, 2026 *2026-08-28, version 1.1.11.25* Still broken. Cannot join rally. ### 1/5 — Not like adds *2026-08-26, version 1.1.10.21* Nothing like the adds ### 1/5 — Log all purchases as in-game purchases are often incorrect *2026-08-26, version 1.1.10.21* The intense graphics of this game causes frequent lag and freezing on many tablets and phone devices. When reviewing my (infrequent) small pack purchases it’s not uncommon to see a double or triple charge for a single purchase (e.g., a $2.99 pack purchase gets billed three times. When reporting the billing issues to Apple, the game developer automatically removes the content you paid for but you don’t get a refund for your the correct amount of your intended purchase. The net result is you just paid the developer to degrade your account. If you attempt to buy packs, log every purchase and check your billings like a hawk. Players are getting fleeced! ### 1/5 — Annoyance *2026-08-26, version 1.1.10.21* Sick of seeing ads for this game ### 1/5 — Don’t play *2026-08-24, version 1.1.10.21* Don’t waist your time. Please stay away. After months and months of playing I got stuck in kingdom could not change and lost everything . ### 1/5 — It’s not good game *2026-08-24, version 1.1.10.21* Dear Rise of Kingdoms Team, I would like to respectfully express my disappointment that the Persian civilization has still not been added to Rise of Kingdoms. Persia has one of the richest and most influential histories in the world. The Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great and Darius I, the Parthian Empire, and the Sasanian Empire all played major roles in world history, warfare, culture, and politics. Rise of Kingdoms already includes many historical civilizations, so it is surprising that Persia is still missing. A Persian civilization could offer unique gameplay features, commanders such as Cyrus the Great and Darius I, and a completely different historical experience for players. There is also a large community of Persian-speaking players who would be excited to see their history represented in the game. Please consider adding a Persian civilization in a future update. It would be a meaningful addition both historically and for the game’s community. Thank you for listening to your players. ### 1/5 — Passports to migrate ended my ambition to play the game *2026-08-23, version 1.1.10.21* The end game is nothing but requirements from your leaders and if you don’t achieve them they want you to leave the kingdom. Leaving a kingdom is expensive to pay for passports requires a lot of them that takes a ridiculous amount of time to collect for free. Don’t play this game if you want a casual experience . The whole requirement to migrate to another kingdom is bad. Change the passport requiremnt. I played this game for 4 years and I think the passport requiremnt to move kingdoms is completely ruining the game for a lot of people. Ruined the game for me . I can’t migrate and I am in a kingdom that doesn’t want me there. I’m done with this game completely until they change the passport requiremnt and make it possible for accounts to move much easier ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes! *2026-09-02, version 1.1.11.28* Great game always fun! ### 5/5 — best game *2026-09-01, version 1.1.11.25* amazing ### 5/5 — I have an idea *2026-08-31, version 1.1.11.25* My idea is that there is a shop where you can trade resources that you don't need for resources that you do need ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-31, version 1.1.11.25* Great game ### 5/5 — ليبيا *2026-08-31, version 1.1.11.25* جميله ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-31, version 1.1.11.25* There’s always smthing to do whether it’s with a alliance or freinds the game is just rly fun overall ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-30, version 1.1.11.25* Разработчики игры либо расисты либо просто пропускают все обращения мимо ушей, человек скидывал фотки где были мертвые люди за что он заслуженно получил мут, а то что он по почте писал как РЕЗАЛ РУССКОМУ НОГИ ди последующие высказывания которые не относятся к игре получил 1 день Мута, в то время как я написал что он сирота которого не примут не в один альянс теперь, дали день Мута без попытки снять его, не знаю куда смотрят модераторы может тут работают одни росисты которым баснословно все равно ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-08-30, version 1.1.11.25* I honestly think this game is so fun cause of the many civilizations, teaming up with an alliance and arranging your kingdom ### 5/5 — Good good nice *2026-08-30, version 1.1.11.25* Good nice cool neegy ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-30, version 1.1.11.25* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
