Only real issue with the game is the money grab. I’ve only been playing for a day and already the levels are almost unbeatable. I play for 5 minutes, barely win or I lose, then it’s 20 minutes of waiting for my units to respawn. What’s the point of the time delay on getting my units back? This is not a casual, fun to play game. ### 5/5 — Stuck in loading screen *2022-03-25, version 1.25.1* I’ve had this game before and was a good building not time intensive strategy game. I started back up and remembered why I stopped before. The game gets caught up on the loading screen. Using an iPhone 10 with updates. This game is unable to load after multiple days. ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2021-09-08, version 1.22.0* I’ve been playing for 12 years unfortunately when I got my new phone nothing transferred over but I still really love the game an would really like to see a console version . If you ever consider it anyways I really like how the game is set up an I’d probably spend more money being I play console more ### 5/5 — This game is Fun! *2021-07-20, version 1.21.0* Challenging and fun battles. Turn based combat and rock, paper, scissors advantages of different troop types makes sense and works well. Time limit for bonus victory is sometimes hard to get, and some boss battles have to wait until you’re stronger so it’s not too easy. I’m really enjoying leveling up my characters. Happy to support the developer with my first months subscription. Nice deal offering the first month subscription at 80% off a few battles into the game. Wait for that deal. After playing a week I can’t say enough good things about this game. Joined an active alliance and was very pleased to see even the lowest strength player (me) in the alliance could contribute significantly to alliance quests and earn significant rewards! And the PvP is not deadly, worst that happens is your troops take 45 minutes to recover and heal for free, or you can spend gems to speed that up. And that only happens when you choose to attack a stronger player. And when you get attacked nothing bad at all happens, the other player just gets victory points for beating you. No troop losses or resources lost at all. You can not be zeroed like so many other games, and there is no shield required, it doesn’t even exist. You can play for free, but you’ll have even more fun if you buy some $5-10 upgrades. Cheap fun. Excellent game. Kudos to the developers! ### 5/5 — 💗Lots of love❤️ *2021-03-30, version 1.18.0* I found this game before surgery a couple years ago. I’m still playing. I like that it’s engaging, strategically centered and most importantly it’s not necessary to spend money to enjoy. It helps to buy but not required. Plus, there are different ways to financially contribute; a little or a lot. One thing is frustrating. There are a couple of characters that cannot advance like the others. Opportunities to advance them only comes around once or twice a year. Ok 2 things. Those 2 characters are last 2 new characters added. I love this game so much. I’d love more opportunities to do new things❣️ ### 5/5 — Good game, not a money grab *2021-01-07, version 1.13.0* They do a really good job with this game. You can tell they actually care about the game. There are plenty of options to purchase to upgrade faster but they don’t pummel you with ads pushing you to purchase. It’s the kind of effort you Want to support because they don’t push so hard with purchase options that you no longer want to play. It’s my favorite game actually. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Pretty good game but slow *2020-12-21, version 1.13.0* I’ve been playing a long time now and I give it three stars because I enjoy it at times. At other times I just find it a grind If you like the type of games where you set up your pieces as if on a game board and determine the best troops to go up against what you see this is your type of game Like most games these days you collect resources when you win and use them to make your troops stronger. This takes time The story isn’t bad but the developers do take a long time to get new exciting updates in. This isn’t a problem for new players though as there is a lot to do before you have to worry about it The prices are ridiculous if you like to pay to play. Not sure how many people do it since they want extreme amounts of money for almost nothing. It’s really amazing. They need to throw in some sweet $5 or less deals so those of us who want to support the developers can give them some money. The other bad part is the time you have to wait after a battle. You have to really make use of the rest areas otherwise your out for an hour (reason I quit clash of clans). I prefer games where you can play more or less as much as you want All that being said, the game is pretty good. You just have to like the slow grind strategy type games Overall good game but slow. ### 5/5 — Fun but game crashes *2020-11-13, version 1.11.0* Fun till got to level were it teachs you to heal on village then crashed and locked up so I deleted andreinstalled the game again play worked great till I beat that level were you heal and crash locked up same thing wait till I got some msg about the server and retry so I did and nothing but the game was fun thanx ### 3/5 — Worth 5 stars but you are only giving it 3? *2020-09-10, version 1.0.0* As long as you have new territory to unlock, this game is a 5 star rating. Sure there are some annoying bugs in it. I still get a mismatch error and I have to restart my device from time to time in order to fix it and continue playing. Sometimes you get a constant marching sound and you have to get the game to fully restart in order to get rid of it. It’s annoying but the actual gameplay is fun and you can be strategic as it does take some thought in what you do and how to play to ultimately beat this game. That’s the unfortunate part. You can beat it and you can do it without collecting all of the characters and without being on their max level and without cheating all based on your strategies. Once you have conquered all the land, there’s really no point in playing this game anymore. Sure, you can log back in a couple times a day and spend a few minutes cleaning out the 5 pvps on your screen and fight a boss for a couple of minutes. Maybe spend a few on strongholds (which aren’t properly scaled to give you endless combative challenges) and that’s it. There’s no heroic/nightmare version unlocked to further challenge yourself to reconquer all the lands a second or third time to keep you engaged. Any new land added just takes a day or two for you to conquer and then you feel like you’ve beaten it again. Sad. Not sure what the point is to continue playing it if I have beaten it. ### 2/5 — Good game but issues. *2020-07-22, version 0.97.0* This game was really good until I made it further along and started purchasing things. If the game crashes after purchasing an upgrade or when you buy more gems. You just end up losing your money. Recently I made a 50$ purchase that charged my account but game me no gems. It wants me to send my copy of a recipes but I was never given a receipt for my purchase. I sent a trouble ticket I about this in the passed and the ticket was just closed. Still a good game I just wouldn’t put any money into it ## Frequently asked questions about Warlords of Aternum ### What kind of game is Warlords of Aternum?
