### 1/5 — Killed the OG experience

*2023-09-11, version 1.0.12*

Took one of my favourite childhood games and converted it into a pay to achieve game.

Combat is short and boring, and all these upgrade sections are dreadfully annoying let alone confusing.. 

You should’ve ported the old game added new troops, tower upgrades, overhauled up on the graphics, added multiplayer support and put a free price tag on it with in app purchases for cosmetics.

Or

Just port over the old game as is put a $2.99 price tag on it or something I’d rather play that than this.

### 1/5 — Enjoyed the game but too many bugs make it unplayable

*2023-09-07, version 1.0.12*

Enjoyed the age of war clone progressed pretty far into the industrial age despite the app crashing every time an add played which was often. Still played would just need to close and reopen. Now when i open the app it loads and wants to start a new game but it won’t even start the whole game is frozen

### 1/5 — Trash 🗑️

*2023-08-31, version 1.0.10*

Garage game. Don’t get it can’t up grade ur team

### 1/5 — Fun but need more update

*2023-08-23, version 1.0.10*

need more update like protect data game , not save cloud like this

### 1/5 — Fake advertising again

*2023-08-17, version 1.0.10*

Not Age of War, doesn’t use the same music, mechanics and just a cash grab.
Shame on the developers for trying to cash in on nostalgia

### 2/5 — Hard

*2023-08-12, version 1.0.9*

Maybe I’m playing wrong, but this game is crazy hard

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-07-02, version 1.0.7*

Way to maybe ads use to be fun but added in ten times the ads

### 1/5 — Language

*2023-06-14, version 1.0.7*

Doesn’t have simply Chinese

### 1/5 — Good game but ads are ridiculous

*2023-06-08, version 1.0.7*

I watch 30+ ads a day just to get better gear. Why do you try to make me watch one every other match on top of that? Please remove em man

### 1/5 — Pay to win!

*2023-06-07, version 1.0.7*

Pay to win!

### 1/5 — Is this game done

*2025-03-07, version 1.2.6*

Played this game for a bit and loved it, went to play it again and could easily be stuck on the load screen for as long as I leave it on, does this game even work anymore or are you guys just finished

### 1/5 — Abandonware Game, Do Not Spend Money ON THIS

*2025-02-09, version 1.2.6*

This game has been abandoned. No updates have happened in a long time, and the devs completely abandoned the game. This seems to be an exit scam of sorts, where the devs take the players money and run. They have done this multiple times in the past.

### 1/5 — New update

*2024-09-03, version 1.2.6*

There hasn’t been a new update in months. Is the game dead?

### 1/5 — IS THIS GAME DEAD?

*2024-08-28, version 1.2.6*

I really enjoyed playing but I seem to have done everything. Does this game just end?

### 1/5 — Okay game

*2024-04-22, version 1.2.6*

Bit of nostalgia back to age of war but with added extras. Game is great until you hit the max level. After that nothing to do. 

Developers do nothing to prevent cheating. Report a player & they say everything is fine despite other player being a lower level

### 1/5 — Updated made the app unplayable.

*2024-03-05, version 1.2.6*

I actually really like the game a lot and I play every day, but since the most recent update the game won’t even open and it’s very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Knock off

*2023-11-19, version 1.2.1*

Straight up knock off of age of war even uses some of the same sounds I played age of war on miniclip.com back in 08 on the pc now they have a app game to u r trash for copying the game

### 1/5 — Forced to watch ads or spend money

*2023-09-24, version 1.0.14*

It’s a good fun game but don’t waste your time. It’s a rabbit hole that tries to coerce you into spending money or you won’t progress in the game. In a nutshell if you don’t plan on continuously spending money don’t download.

### 1/5 — TOO MUCH ADS

*2023-09-21, version 1.0.14*

Terrible ads. Features need a lot of refinement and reworks. Stop adding new stuff and and work on the problems first. Fire the current team and start with a new team from scratch. 

Cheers.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-09-12, version 1.0.13*

Game is definitely Pat to win played it for 2 weeks now and I tell you what save your time and don’t waste it on this game 2 weeks now I’m at the end of the road and the games basically done you finish it and that’s it all you get is a congratulations such a horrible way to let someone know they wasted all their time for nothing.

### 5/5 — Fun! I don’t say that often.

*2024-03-23*

I really enjoy this game. My inly complaint is that at least half the battles I win, especially in the arena, do not get recorded. I defeat the enemy, a “loading” icon pops up and I have to restart the game. I could stay (for example) at rank 100 with seven out of ten wins.

### 5/5 — How do you use totem cards?

*2023-08-08, version 1.0.9*

Great game I’m hooked! But i’m nearing the end and nowhere does it explain how to use totem cards!🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — Needs an endless mode

*2023-07-22, version 1.0.7*

Guys I love the game, I used to play the old game for hours. I was just thinking that maybe if you add an endless mode or survival mode kind of like the original game it might make those who played the game before a little nostalgic and want to play more!

Anyways great game guys, continue the great work!

### 5/5 — childhood game on the computer.

*2023-06-12, version 1.0.7*

It’s one of these games you’d find alongside killer shark, killer worm etc. The game advertises as what it is. There are no random ads after a attack or before and the game is fun! (Only ads apply when you want to upgrade something quicker!

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2023-05-31, version 1.0.6*

It’s nothing like Age of War. It’s fun and enjoyable to play I love games like these!

### 4/5 — $30 to remove ads

*2023-07-04, version 1.0.7*

Fun game but there are a lot of rewards available for ads, many you can do every day. I would love to remove ads for a few dollars and I do pay for that on other games. To remove ads in this game it’s $29.99 but that just feels too steep. 

I’m willing to pay $30 for some games if that $30 is THE COMPLETE GAME with not additional monetization, but I’m not willing to pay that for the kind of games that make you wait for anything (afk rewards, stamina, anything like that), or if the game has additional in app purchase options on top of the ad removal, like this one does. I’d pay a few bucks and ignore the other iaps. But that’s not the option here.

### 3/5 — Ages

*2023-09-11, version 1.0.12*

When will you be adding more ages? I just finished the mars age. There is not much to do the the game after that.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2023-07-11, version 1.0.7*

Too much ads but fun game but too much ads and need to pay 40$ to remove them… 40$!! First time I see that. it’s ridiculous…

### 2/5 — Transformed into a Pay-2-Play format :(

*2024-03-26, version 1.2.6*

This game seemed to be the next best thing on the rise!! It offered things players could always do and even began making characters based on player feedback. Then a switch happened, players voiced their opinion, nobody cared, the game took away game modes that could always be played and turned everything into “sweeps”. Doesn’t seem to be much of a future for this game anymore, they only new things they offer now are exciting “deals” to pay more money in order to advance in the game. It feels like the developers quit/are understaffed, or just don’t care about making it into something neat. Use to be 5-stars..now there’s nothing to do (unless you have money of course)Real shame.

### 2/5 — Bruh

*2023-09-09, version 1.0.12*

Game is fun, but too many adds and I can’t even play the game anymore. I go start it up and it just says new game and start, so I press start and it does nothing.
