Expensive, not fun to play
This game is impossible to play if you do not have the means to spend at least $100 every few days. 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.

Glitchy, money grab, horrible customer service
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.

Where to start
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.

Sloppy Developers and Poor Customer Service.
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.

Beware!! Don’t download! Don’t play! You have other options!
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!

Frustrating
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.

Disappointed after over a year
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.

The support is horrible
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.

Another MZ Money Pit
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.

Money hog rip off
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

Awful
Terrible game!!!! Bunch of glitches, doesn’t work correctly, waste of money! It’s not worth getting this app because your first pack in the app is around $5, then $20, then $49. Then everything is $99. Shields don’t stay up for as long as they say. Assaults don’t work like they should. When you send out troops, a lot of the time they glitch and you lose them. Even the ad is terrible. TERRIBLE!! So your just on you device or whatever minding your business and the stupid ad comes up. No problem, except for the fact THAT YOU CANT EXIT OUT OF IT! Clicking the X doesn’t work so you have to complete exit out of whatever app you were on when the ad hit you. Now this is a problem because ONE it’s just really annoying and TWO if your playing an online game or a game that loses its progress once you exit out, that’s it you have to start over again. Let’s say your really far in your game and the ad just hits you, welp say goodbye to your progress. This is just a terrible game. DO NOT get it.

Aimed solely at getting your money
This game has decent gameplay and can get you playing for hours. As with many other pay to win games obviously the whales will always be far ahead of you. My main gripe is that events even for people in your same region, have different prizes and rewards. The “deals” are also different for every person so even if you want to spend money you have to first buy a random $5, $20, $50, and $75 upon which every future pack will then be $100 dollars and then be the same as everyone else's. New feature will always be pay walled for a month or two before you can start to unlock them in events. They do a good job keeping the free to play and casual spenders from fall too far behind but it is annoying you don't even have the option of grinding for the new features. Many of their drops and percentage rates are lies. Some of the syndicates don't even drop what is listed.

An Okay Game
When I started playing this game, I noticed one thing immediately, it was friendlier to the players who play for free than Final Fantasy New Empire. I would have given this a higher rating, but I will not for one reason, it falls into the fate that many games tend to fall into in today’s era of games, the playing style benefits the players that throw hundreds of dollars into the game whenever something new appears or whenever they need something way too much. There is always a giant gap between the players who play for free (trying the game how it is) and those who pay too much into the game (The competitive people), this gap is the reason why there are so many empty bases within the regions.

Player beware
I have played this game for a year. I fully understand this is a war game. I have tried to stay on top on my research and upgrading my base. After a year of trying. I have come to a point in this game, where I must make a decision to keep playing or quit. The amount of money required to keep playing is overwhelming. The players who can afford to purchase packs weekly has made this game undesirable to play. These players attacks everyone who can’t afford to keep up with the fast pace at which this game develops. The lower players can’t even participate in regular events because of the constant attacks from the high level players. If decide to play this game and purchase packs, the price increases to 99 dollars(US). Most of the time, you will need to purchase 5-6 packs every other week. Do the math, if you can keep up. Go for it. They have packs that are cheaper, but it’s rare and they don’t have the items to upgrade your base. Graphics are good, events are ok when you can participate. Developers need to find a balance to help the low spenders and or free to play person.

Fun game with frustrating glitches
Been playing in my region (iron tundra) since the start and it’s been fun! But the problem is the glitching that the developers can’t fix! The first was horrible when you tried to enter CP had to re start the game every time they finally fix it then came the contacts list black out and everyone lost the contact list then they fixed that not the event glitch that we all got screwed on still had two hours left and disappeared after spending what is my real money to place in the event it magically disappeared 2hrs early and the emails I get back are funny but my wife also plays and has had plenty of issues with the event also and they want screen shots of everything sometimes it’s easy to think about it but when stuff disappears it’s kinda hard. I’m also vip 11 and if you know anything about the packs the are $99 and so I’ve spent plenty of money on this account to have some good customer service and not send you emails telling you that don’t understand!

Terrible game complete cash grab
The game is a complete cash grab, the packs keep going up in price and never come down. They design this game to be pay to play. If you don’t buy packs weekly you will fall behind and not be able to compete. There is a complete lack of integrity by adding the option to purchase tokens to win titles instead of earning them. The customer service is terrible, they send you generic responses and never actually answer your questions or acknowledge the issues with the game. It is constantly freezes and freezes or lags and constantly needs to be force closed and restarted. Which is also their solution for every glitch and failure by the developers and programmers. This is definitely a game to avoid. You can only succeed if you spend thousands and up to tens of thousands of dollars. Same events different name everything is repetitive. They only thing new is the ways they try to force you to spend money.

Not worth it
Been playing this game for almost 6 months now. And, I’ve spent good money to build my base up. The problem lies in the inconsistencies. There are many players that spent way more money than others. Which is obviously the person’s choice. These players can be a level 60 or higher. And, have millions of troops. They will do what is commonly called “zeroing”. Wiping out all that a much smaller base has spent money to build. And, not everyone can afford to spend the money to get to said level. It is this very reason that has caused many players to quit.
If the developers built in safety nets that disallowed bases that are more than 5 levels higher no option of “hitting” smaller bases. I.e. a level 60 base cannot hit a level 54 base.
Please do something to fix this. You’ll be rated so much higher. The game will be much better. And, you won’t loose the players like you do now.

Total waste of time unless you want to spend money
It’s VERY addictive but once you get past level 15, you can’t do much without spending money to “buy” packs and resources. They really push you to your lints after spending weeks building yourself up to that level and then being frustrated because every task takes hours and days to complete unless you spend money to buy packs.
Plus there aren’t any real battles. It’s just chit chat between players and each egging the other to spend money to buy more and “upgrade”. The battles are just for name sake. It’s nothing like the ads you see when they make you download the game.
Unless you want to spend $$$$ avoid the frustration and stay away. If you’re willing to spend $$$ to stroke your ego with points and resources so for it, it’s your money!!

WARNING!! The developers cheat players!
I have spent over $900 in playing this game. Then another region used old emails from a region that was awarded gifts from an upgrade to say they missed the freebies. They were given free upgrades to the highest VIP levels, something it would cost players in our region THOUSANDS of dollars to match. As a result, our region is beat by them in every head to head contest simply because they all outrank us now through cheating. It has been repeatedly pointed out to support but they simply respond with “sorry”. I will NEVER spend another dime on this game and I encourage everyone else to not waste their money. The developers will simply give someone else a free boost to continually keep you on the losing side. This could have been a great game that I would have supported for many years had it not been for this. DO NOT waste your time and hard-earned money on a game that rewards cheating instead of honest play.
