On clique sur continuer et rien… dommage le jeu est sympa. ### 2/5 — Bad FOE clone *2025-12-08, version 2.9.13* Copies just about everything from forge of empires but somehow makes it all worse. Ressource generation is stupidly slow, combat is way easier. Pushes you to buy right away and simply sucks for f2p players ### 2/5 — In App Purchase *2025-09-12, version 2.9.4* DID NOT received the in app purchase. The app took my payment but I never received the purchase ### 2/5 — virtually unplayable unless you're spending money *2024-10-16, version 2.9.4* the title says it all. if you like burning money on these games buying features, you may enjoy it, because its well done in some respects, but it is agonizing if you spend money on supplies an equipment. ### 2/5 — Good game but needs millions of improvements *2024-07-15, version 2.9.4* So this game is pretty good but all of these improvements it means oh I just hate when it doesn’t have all these improvements you have to you literally have to spend 200 diamonds to conquer somewhere and it’s so hard to get power I mean, like really hard to build stuff it’s not like a game that I have for rise of kingdoms. It’s pretty easy to get loot. It’s really easy to get loot and run the kingdom this game. It’s so hard to get loot. I mean like it’s so horrible and it’s so hard to attack peopleand I mean like people this is like kids this is kids and I mean it’s just so stupid and the kids can’t pay money. Parents have to do it and all and you so so so so so so so hard to get money I mean I mean like it’s so dumb. Why would you download this game so do not download this game? OK do not ### 4/5 — Viele Spieler verlieren die Lust!! *2024-06-15* Wir sind ein kleiner aber Lokal sehr guter Clan jedoch verlieren immer mehr die Lust am Spiel da nichts neues mehr kommt!! Wenn man fast alles Hat ( fast weil nichts mehr erweitert wird) tritt man nur noch auf der Stelle und erledigt die täglichen Aufgaben,das war’s auch schon!! Viele wollen bei uns aufhören weil es langweilig wird, ist das der Wunsch von euch Machern ? Das Spiel war am Anfang schwer aber schön und immer wieder Neu **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Wir schätzen deine Ehrlichkeit und verstehen deine Sorgen. Es tut uns leid, dass das Spiel für euch weniger aufregend geworden ist. ### 3/5 — Strukturen verloren *2024-05-17* Das Spiel ist sehr gut und interessant. Ich habe es sowohl auf dem Handy als auch auf dem iPad gespielt. Aber jedes Mal, wenn ich vom Handy zum iPad wechsle und umgekehrt, gehen einige der zuvor gebauten Strukturen verloren. Gestern habe ich gerade Geld aufgeladen, um Titan auf dem Handy zu kaufen. Eine Stunde später habe ich auf dem iPad weitergespielt, und dann ist es wieder passiert, dass Strukturen verloren gingen und der Titan-Kauf auch verloren ging. **Developer response:** Wir verstehen den Frust, wenn Strukturen verloren gehen. Das Hin und Her zwischen Geräten kann zu Problemen führen. Bitte kontaktiere uns im Spiel für direkte Unterstützung. Wir schätzen dein Feedback sehr. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-11-28, version 2.9.4* I paid for points but never received them ### 2/5 — Waiting, waiting, waiting *2023-07-18, version 2.9.2* This is one of those games where you need to wait to get things done but can speed things up with in-game currency. Boring... ### 3/5 — Decent knock off *2023-07-17, version 2.9.3* Basically this is just another version of Forge of Empires. Sadly though it has to rig it's advertisement system so when you press exit it registers as a click for revenue! 👍 ### 4/5 — Can’t move from one device to another *2023-06-30* Once device crashed, then entire game is lost as this game doesn’t allow people to login. Reload error occurs if we login with an account which was used from another device **Developer response:** We're sorry you're experiencing this issue! Please, contact us and detail your issue. You can do this in the Settings in the game. Just use buttons Support or FAQ. Don't forget to include your game ID. ### 4/5 — glitch *2023-06-29, version 2.9.2* Game wont play past this point (it keeps glitching after i have to buy the three big army training places ### 1/5 — update killed access *2023-04-10, version 2.9.2* Since the app updated this last Easter weekend, the app will not open. Deleted and reloaded from App store, still wont load. ### 1/5 — Update *2023-02-28, version 2.9.1* I loved playing my game and it said to update it and it’s nothing like the older one I hate it but now it won’t let me play my game ### 3/5 — Pluto cave glitch healing *2023-02-04, version 2.9.1* I can’t seem to heal my warrior for the Pluto cave for some weird reason. Is this a glitch? Finally redownloaded this game after a long time and I can’t do anything. It’s fun overall though. ### 1/5 — Total $$$$ scam! *2023-01-27, version 2.9.1* This game is total money scam. Will screw you completely at every turn. Computer algorithm is set to totally screw you - mega armies of villains that you can’t defeat, unless you spend major dollars! These villain armies make unreal attacks that screw out of points & money. TOTAL rip-off! Don’t waste your time or money! Find a better game that you can really enjoy! F- ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Aimed at kids; bit of a rip off *2026-01-03, version 2.9.4* Appears to be aimed at younger children, and it's difficult to make progress as expansion required an awful lot of diamonds, and they are difficult to come buy ... unless you purchase them, and they are quite expensive - very geared to a lot of additional spending, so if you get it, have some parental controls please :) ### 1/5 — Game is no longer working. *2024-09-10, version 2.9.4* Cannot play the game. ### 1/5 — Don't Upload App *2024-09-10, version 2.9.4* I have writed negative reviews about this crabby game and they will not post them. Don't waste your time or money on this game. ### 1/5 — My progress disappeared and support hasn’t helped *2024-08-19, version 2.9.4* My progress disappeared months ago. My account just disappeared and a new one was created, I have logged a support ticket, eventually they said it had been resolved but when I replied that it hadn’t I’ve had no further response, every time I send a follow up I just get a message saying they have a lot of requests and are working on it. It has now been months again and no resolution ### 1/5 — F *2024-07-26, version 2.9.4* Impossible to move up half the time ### 1/5 — Unbalanced and Out of date *2024-06-16, version 2.9.4* There are no longer any updates even though developer continues to cram money offers into our faces every time we log in or play. There is no balance between resources which screams simple laziness on part of developer and those who developed game. Every time you upgrade you get less resources rather than more which makes no sense. Do notdownload out of date game. ### 1/5 — Worlds worst Customer Service *2024-05-15, version 2.9.4* Game is ok, progress slows a lot from the fifth era, worst “so called” customer service I’ve ever had the misfortune to come across, five days to answer a question which they didn’t answer and gave up after four days on the second and deleted the game. Not worth the one star, but I can’t give zero which is what it deserves. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-05-10* Its not opening only server down check your connection this is what its showing nd my connection is perfectly fine. Do something plz **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about the trouble with the server connection. We understand your frustration. Please reach out through the app for immediate assistance. Your feedback is valuable to us. ### 1/5 — Not fun *2024-03-30, version 2.9.4* This game is honestly so dumb I don’t know why I even continue to open it😅. Everything is practically impossible to achieve. Takes forever to acquire enough money to buy anything. Tasks are impossible. Fights are impossible and nonsensical. Waste of time and very frustrating ### 1/5 — Poor Customer Support *2024-02-23, version 2.9.4* I made some intial purchases to speed things along. I never received the items and went through a two week process of emails and producing my receipts to finally be compensated. I must of forgot my frustration because about a week ago I made the mistake of buying another gem package. As you can guess, I did not receive it. I submitted my ticket along with my recepit (screen shot )to prove my purchase. It has been 7 days and they have not even made contact with me. I have been messaging about 1x a day and nothing. Very Frustrated. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2026-07-17* Good overall. Low resolution strategy game. Fun to play coz you just need to play it couple minutes a day. Very few games like this now wherein you aren’t forced to buy stuff every other day. ### 5/5 — … *2025-11-18* spielentwicklung empfinde ich positiv. vielleicht wärs schön, wenn man noch einfacher an grundstückserweiterungen kommt. ### 5/5 — Great game But *2023-12-18, version 2.9.4* This is a great game but i feel like everything keep staying same. 1)When we update senate I want the castle to look different. 2)When we change era I want everything to look different or upgraded version. 3)I think developers should calculate how much dimond is needed instead of coin. Player will never have that type of dimond. 4)Make more ways to make diamonds. Love the game but with above kind of changes more people would be tempting to play. ### 5/5 — overall good game *2023-03-22, version 2.9.0* Really good\fun game. ### 5/5 — Game land of legends *2022-11-08, version 2.8.1* Fun exiting ### 5/5 — I need more 😊 *2022-08-20, version 2.7.0* I have finished the last 12th era and started working on monuments. I have no chance to either buy or get any land extension to be able to expand my city which is so sad and frustrating . Do you think about adding more land extensions to players like myself? I loveeeee new constructor feature! It’s fantastic. My city finally look like I want it to be and I am able to use every single spot to increase my power. I also like new battles with a participation of all clan members. It’s cool. I love graphics with cute little details and animations of all buildings but I really regret I can’t use all those beautiful decorations because by using the ones with a low power and low culture level decreases my power which I’m not willing to sacrifice and because of the land extensions shortage I’m no able to build them. I wouldn’t mind buying the land so please at least consider to offer the extensions at the store. Do you have a date when a new era would be available? I really enjoy this game, it reminds me times when I played Pharaoh and Caesar games on computer, I appreciate your effort to develop new features and uplift players experience and fun while playing it. Can’t wait to see what’s coming 😀 ### 5/5 — Battle Bug *2022-07-04, version 2.5.4* Training units beyond their default health, when you auto battle and the unit takes more damage than the default health and have something like 2/10 heath left, they are counted as dead and not injured. Really annoying to spend time and money training units to be better only for them to die. Still a fun game ### 5/5 — Fesselnd *2022-04-15* Das Spiel ist kurzweilig und ggf. auch langfristig ohne zusätzliche Kosten spielbar. **Developer response:** Thanks! We will keep making you happy! ### 5/5 — Fun, no rush, flexible game *2022-04-13, version 2.5.2* Flexible game- play as little or as much as you have time available. I’ve got through chemo with this game, it was a breeze. There is a few different directions you may choose, it is fun to figure it out and find your own way. ### 5/5 — Great game but developers I need help *2022-02-25, version 2.4.1* Just tried loading up the game after the new update and it’s frozen so I’m assuming somethings happend.
