All upgrades run on timers, so even if you have the resources, it could be hundreds of days before an upgrade is available to you. As I type this, I am working on an upgrade that will require over 200 days before I can use it. In contrast, the game developers have a means of playing for free, which ensures they have the best bases and equipment. They basically get to bully players that are actually trying to play for free. It is very frustrating to build up your base using what is available, just to have someone who did not have to pay for anything come and burn it down while you were not looking at your phone. ### 1/5 — Glitchy, money grab, horrible customer service *2021-05-07, version 8.1.6.107* This game started off well. But it goes down hill and never gets better. The thing that gets you is the people. You build friendships and you keep coming back for that. But honestly, it’s no way to play for free. Literally, NO WAY TO PLAY FOR FREE. You are going to spend money, and a lot of it, it you actually want to play. Otherwise you’re only playing for the social aspect. On top of that the game messes up A LOT! Packs (which are really expensive) sometimes miss things. There is false advertising, you will buy something as it reads, but in reality need to buy something else to use those items. It’s always a catch. And to top everything off. Support is absolute crap. It’s a bunch of robots sending generic copy and pasted responses over and over. And they will tell you “we’re letting our team know” or give you some totally useless slap in the face gifts and hope you give up messaging them. I’m actually very disappointed I am playing again. This game should face lawsuits and should be shut down. So take my advice and DO NOT play this game or anything like it. ### 2/5 — Where to start *2021-03-19, version 8.0.7.104* Lots of road blocks, after a year and a half it’s still the same stuff, can’t do this because you don’t have that, fuel plans are now my big issue and probably why I will leave the game, I’m at cc85 fuel extractor is at 58, no plans to be found outside of the $100 pack they offered a few weeks ago, others have run into similar issue with prison plans, but no fuel, can’t move and that’s a problem. A lot of toxic behavior in the players holding hero’s after elimination is available. If you don’t have a pill you are screwed for the time plus an extra 24 hours depending. No hero, it screws you in other areas. Anyways the review is honest and I think most stay for their team, I did. ### 1/5 — Sloppy Developers and Poor Customer Service. *2021-03-10, version 7.0.9.100* After playing Game of War, Mobile Strike and Final Fantasy for the past 7 years, MZ (or whoever owns them now) has finally given up on making any sort of effort to satisfy their customers who spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on this game. Yes, the engine is still the same as the provokes games, but the people in charge of the events and graphics are simply phoning it in at this point and don’t care at all about the quality of their product. After over a year in Carbon 331, we still get the same problems. Events that are inconsistent with their weekly announced schedules, points that are not correctly rewarded, and graphical glitches despite playing on the newest devices. This is such a shame since the engine of this game was already established and successful. It may finally be time to stop handing them my money and delete this app for good. ### 1/5 — Beware!! Don’t download! Don’t play! You have other options! *2020-08-07, version 6.0.17.87* This game is extremely deceiving! They sell you packs and then take what you purchase away and state they made a mistake. But then they don’t give you the option to get your money back, they just give you something else that you don’t need and claim they are trying to keep the game fair for everyone! It happened to me twice and NOBODY in support did anything about it and also made me feel like they don’t need my money! The packs are awful! They add items to your pack to make you feel like you’re getting a Big Bang for your buck, but you gather all these items you will never use (or have a surplus) and they don’t give you an option to turn those purchased useless items into other items you actually need! Lastly, there’s NO WAY for you to actually know how you measure your base against others! You never know what results you’re going to get when attacking or defending. The game is heavily geared towards defense, so this way you spend and spend to increase your attack hoping that you can win, but then you lose! Later in the game you start winning constantly but lose all your troops and have to keep buying packs to build your troops and health. The makers of this game play a psychological game with the user. If you play this game, the creators will own you! I made sure to quit and made sure that all the other spenders in my alliance and region also left! The developers of this game are criminals! ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2020-05-17, version 5.0.12.73* The only reason I have not yet deleted this game is my alliance. There are some great people playing this game. And the game itself can be fun. However, it’s extremely frustrating that in a “free” game, the ONLY way to have a chance to win is to spend money, and lots of it. It doesn’t matter how engaged you are with the game otherwise (in terms of hours, actions, whatever). There are things like heroes and squad members that you can only get with real money, and if you don’t have them, you lose. And in my region, at least some of the big spenders (or allies of big spenders) run rampant bullying everyone else. I understand that the developers have to make some money, and I am willing to spend some money on entertainment. I’ve already bought my first pack. But I’ve been reading other reviews about how the spending cycle in this game never stops. I am going to keep playing for now and see how fun this game remains when I can be periodically zeroed by big spenders. But my money is going elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Disappointed after over a year *2020-05-06, version 5.0.12.72* I have been playing for over a year with multiple accounts and a few purchases. I have spent many, many hours playing and there is a reason for the recent influx of 1 star reviews. Here are my observations: Fun - this game is fun and I like the concept very much, but after over a year it feels like the game is turning into a cash grab before the developers ax the project altogether. Expensive - this game is basically pay-to-play. While you can play without purchasing packs, you have no hope of keeping up and the players which do are heavily favored, so expect to get wiped out regularly unless you are prepared to spend some serious coin. Glitchy - there are lots of glitches which are exploited by other players and, in a game which is already an uneven playing field, you may question whether it’s worth paying more. Don’t expect stellar support when things go sideways either (and they will go sideways). In short, there is a reason there are a lot of 1 star reviews. It’s fun, but not that fun. Jump on a new app, have fun, spend money if that makes you happy, but leave this game to its ultimate fate; you’ll be happier in the long run. ### 1/5 — The support is horrible *2020-04-29, version 5.0.12.72* Horrible support. I loved playing with the people in my alliance and the region. I’ve played for almost a year now and grind away trying to spend as little as possible and stay relevant. I liked that they would have packs that gift stuff because that gave some of us that were a little big behind a chance to catch up, However, there support is what has sealed the deal for my departure of this game that used to bring me joy, I was zeroed in one hit because there was an error with my shiled I was desperately trying to shiled my base and refreshed the app. I had no luck at shielding. I know it was a Hugh rally and no way I could survive so I said I’m shielding to I would have no reinforcements. I had no banners and the wrong hero in the wrong gear up. I was destroyed wrongfully. If I had planned on taking the hit I would have had the proper setup and my alliance members were there to rein it I was shielding and that failed. All I got from the developers was refreshe you app and device. Make sure you are using stab,e internet we hope this helps. No nope doesn’t help. Sent several replies with nothing. I know others who have had similar issues and got troops back. But I’ve not spent like that so I don’t get that same treatment. The developers are the problem with this game. ### 1/5 — Another MZ Money Pit *2020-04-24, version 5.0.12.72* Yes this game is technically free to play. But it has been designed so that it is virtually impossible to be successful at anything without opening up your wallet. This has been this developers MO since Game of War. If they tailored the game differently to allow free-to-play to still exist successfully alongside their paying players they wouldn’t have to keep reskinning their game engine and starting over. But maybe that’s how they like it; milking their community for all it’s worth then rebooting to a new game and starting the process over again. Additionally, they’ve designed their in-game purchases so deceptively that they pop up randomly when you are tapping away on the screen as if they are trying to get you to accidentally make a purchase. From there, their customer service is nonexistent and you are left without a refund. I still can’t understand why Apple doesn’t shut this developer down. ### 1/5 — Money hog rip off *2020-04-17, version 5.0.12.72* This game is fun and all at first. But the pack pricing is more than out of control. $99 dollar packs that you would need to buy weekly just to stay current in the game otherwise your base would be so weak you can’t actually participate in most challenges or attack/defend your base. This game will crumble in the same way final fantasy already has. I feel sorry for the people that I personally know who have sadly spent thousands on this game lol. Go out and buy a game system, a brand new laptop, a down payment on a house instead of virtual nothing. Months later same thing still in place, 90% of users have quit and failed at trying to sell their wasted base. A few rich people continue to spend thousands of dollars to feel in control. This is nothing but “Pay to win” and games like this are trash. Sadly some of the people I know have spent more than $5,000 on this waste of storage game ## Frequently asked questions about World War Rising ### What is World War Rising?
