### 5/5 — HELP SUPPORT!!

*2026-04-04, version 2.996*

SUPPORT: if you’re reading this, please answer my email!!

### 1/5 — Banning player account for no reason

*2026-04-04, version 2.996*

After afk for a long period I returned the game and registered an new account.
Then got banned for no reason. Only very few active player in this game and u are now kicking out the return player.
Shame of you.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-29, version 2.996*

it’s a great game but I suggest adding more weapons and updates to bring this game back to life

### 5/5 — Needs a big update

*2026-02-17, version 2.996*

This game is very good and could be even better with a massive update there is many active players still and I think the community would be happy with a massive update added many new things

### 1/5 — Don’t do it!

*2026-02-13, version 2.996*

Absolutely the most unbalanced game available. Outdated by a decade and never gets any new features. Fungal alliance has made it the impossible to be in any other alliance and if you don’t follow their rules they will ruin your game. The developer is also involved in how certain players get their accts reset for no reason. Avoid this game. You have been warned.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-05-04, version 2.993*

One of the worst “pay to win” games that I’ve seen. Unless you’re willing to spend insane amounts of money to protect yourself from high level players, all you will be is a target for them. Game is horribly imbalanced. Players that are 10 times your size can do whatever they want to you and you can’t do anything about it.  I’ve even considered spending money on the game, but doing so is pointless because as soon as you do, some insanely high level player will come along and take whatever you spent money on. Don’t even bother trying.  The game is so horribly imbalanced that the devs decided to force lower level players to level so that the higher levels would have something to play with. You don’t have to attack anyone. They spam attack you and you get xp so you eventually get high enough that they can take your stuff. So many people have stopped playing that if you didn’t punch codes years ago, you can never get to their level. You’re just fodder for the handful of players that were willing to spend insane amounts of money.  And good luck getting support from the devs. They gave up years ago and just keep taking the money that the higher levels levels keep throwing at them.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-03-19, version 2.993*

Good game you should try it out

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-03-05, version 2.993*

Don’t listen too the other reviewers they probably don’t even know how to play the game is fun and is like building your own kingdom but for me is like building a cartel or mafia best game

### 4/5 — Great! However,

*2025-02-23, version 2.993*

Love the game, good way to spend time and explore, but i can’t seem to actually play it.. 
every time i try open the app it tells me it can’t make a secure connection and to come back in 5 mins, time past and the message remains, 
when you press support it also doesn’t let me access it cause it’s “not a secure website trying to impersonate the actual website” so there’s no way of reporting this. Help! Fix please🙏

### 1/5 — Account lost

*2025-02-02, version 2.993*

I cant get my account back and everytime i try and say no email it says connection interrupted
