The rewards for free play are next to nothing. This is the definition of PAY TO WIN. Even when you play with 20 to 40 dollars a week this game still doesn’t reward you much. So if you like egomaniacs and spending a lot of moneys then this is your game. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2026-10-15, version 1.5.153* Better than before ### 2/5 — Not built for phone screens *2026-10-14, version 1.5.153* Everything is too small for a phone screen. Then when nighttime comes (why!?) it gets so dark you can’t see anything. I have leave the game because it gives me a headache to look at the screen. Then it lags. The reason it lags is because every time you tap the screen, it wants to tell you a story, or sell you something. I don’t need the story. I just want to play the game. There is no way to opt out of this stuff. Then they send you a survey. You cannot complete the survey because there’s no way to select the options when they ask you what your favorite hero is. This is a game where too many people try to do too many things and nobody quite got it right. It is way too busy. It would take all day just to complete the daily quests. It’s like they expect this to be a job, not a little hour long distraction. Sorry, but it’s just too much. ### 5/5 — Better than I thought *2026-10-09, version 1.5.153* So far, I really like this game. I was playing raid shadow legends but this has a lot more to offer. ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-10-08, version 1.5.153* I only played for 1 minute and I love it it is kind of realistic and it might be better than rise of kingdoms I also love the gameplay. ### 4/5 — W *2026-10-07, version 1.5.153* W game ### 5/5 — Mobile game *2026-10-05, version 1.5.153* Very fun to play good time consumer! ### 5/5 — Great app that presents a good storyline *2026-10-03, version 1.5.153* The storyline is great with this app. Also great that there are no ads! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-09-27, version 1.5.150* Easy to follow, fast to build my city and army ### 5/5 — Good so far *2026-09-14, version 1.5.144* It’s only been a couple of hours that I started playing this game and I believe the game is quite interesting and the graphics are really good. I’m an AOEM player so the learning curve for me would be different than others, but an interesting experience nevertheless. ### 5/5 — Bếp *2026-09-12, version 1.5.144* Hay hy ### 5/5 — Goat *2026-09-12, version 1.5.144* All around an amazing game. Fun to play. Doesn’t get boring. Great graphics. Wish I could go higher than 5 stars ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-09-11, version 1.5.144* I love this game !!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abusive *2026-10-16, version 1.5.153* The last ad I saw depicted animal abuse so I would never play it Who ever is designing your ads needs to be let go abuse to animals even in animation just sends the wrong message. ### 1/5 — Forget this *2026-10-15, version 1.5.153* I’ve deleted this game. When players that are 200x more powerful can attack and take everything you’ve spent months building. I’m not wasting any more $$ trying to keep what I already built. The first time, I was like ok, it happens. Today I’ve revived attack after attack and I’m done with it. This is the first game I’ve ever put actual money into and it will NEVER happen again. ### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa *2026-10-13* A propaganda não tem nada a ver com o jogo **Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback.

Didn’t like it deleted it. Now I’m getting ads that show the characters in the game, taking an animal to a torture board and ripping its fur off. I know somebody is gonna tell me it’s not a real animal. Nothing was hurt in the making of this video game. But I find those images disturbing and I don’t wanna see them in my ads. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — reset password *2026-09-19, version 1.5.150* extremely difficult to reset password, the format/layout is not user friendly at all. ### 1/5 — Game sucks *2026-09-16, version 1.5.150* It’s a terrible never ending pay to win grind game and is filled with bots ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-09-03, version 1.5.144* Does give you your points for progression when connecting through the nectar app 3 castle levels now and no progression rewards ### 1/5 — Need more languages *2026-09-01, version 1.5.144* The game says has Chinese language, but after I downloaded this game there is no Chinese language in language setting. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-24, version 1.5.140* Complete pay to play game or people are using cheats and plug ins. There is no way to advance because player in top tribe has billions in might over everyone else. I highly doubt they spent $10k to achieve that. Maybe they did. Avoid this game!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Viking *2026-10-25, version 1.5.160* The best ever ### 5/5 — Love Viking Rise 🖤❤️🖤 *2026-10-23, version 1.5.160* Absolutely amazing game with so many characters and details and storylines and amazing graphics. I was playing “WhiteOut-Survival” and i was so bored of that game but Viking Rise is my new favourite. 10/10 And it has in game AI that u can talk to and ask anything as ur heroes and thats so cool. Everything u touch interacts with you. ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-10-21, version 1.5.160* great game maybe have some issues but bad at all ### 5/5 — VR after playing for few years. *2026-10-21, version 1.5.160* Great game if your into strategy and want a community, made tones of friends.Yeah can get away with free to play but will take you a hell of a lot longer to get stronger which can be frustrating because the whole point of the game is to get stronger and fight other tribes and servers but would highly recommend for the real gamers who are in it for the long term. ### 5/5 — Very immersive *2026-10-20, version 1.5.153* This has a great immersive gameplay there is always something to keep you occupied 🤗 find a great clan and become the ruler and leader of your own village then expand into the wider environment and forge alliances with those around you 👍👍***** ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-10-20, version 1.5.153* The graphics are amazing.
