Kingdoms of HF - Dragon War for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don’t bother.I have been playing the game since release, and in the beginning updates were made and applied in such a way that promoted growth; however in the last 6 to 12 months all updates have been geared towards generating revenue, and less about player happiness & progress. *Developers are condescending and arrogant in replies to even the most basic questions. *Developers have a history of intentionally imploding games, in order to migrate spenders to a new release. *Developers inhibit gameplay at will; and offer mockery of compensation..DeadRabidsVersion: 1.64

✓ Aggressive ads on micro transactionWhen you make your players scroll through 21 ads to get a daily reward, you’re bound to get some 1 star reviews. 21 is only from one category. To claim all 4 you’d scroll through 36 ads. And yet 36 is still discounting all the countless pop-ups. Internet browser companies realized 10+ years ago that pop-ups are extremely annoying so they devised ways to block them but instead you do the exact opposite. Not only that but your horrible code makes scrolling the shop extremely frustrating. Just to list a few, scrolls stuck halfway 100% of the time; random freezes on the shop; random “bundle” windows that opens right after.LOLrence L.Version: 1.92

✓ Fun, but don’t spend your money (it will be devalued by devs)The game play is generally fun and quirky. However save your money. You can boost and be the strongest on your realm, but ATA merges realms based upon their activity and strength. The last round of merges put three realms together, and had killed the activity and incentive to play for many players. Because of the realm merging realize any spending you do in game will be rendered less valuable with each merge as you become weaker and weaker in the merges. ATA doesn’t do individual player moving to keep an overall balance on a servers either. For the right price you can be the strongest player on a server and for a few merges until they eventually merge us all back into a single realm. iPhones with less than 1gb of ram are not fully supported in game and will be at a tactical disadvantage. Due to how they do graphics..HwariVersion: 1.26

✓ OGRONKoThey change the rules after they see fit. After putting a large amount of money into the game to make top 10. They allowed players and alts just below my strength that have been playing months into the realm. Making my purchases pointless. Then denied compensation. Will never give another ATA game money again..OGRONKoVersion: 1.40

✓ It was alright but player support is trashPretty good game. Mainly there for social and the basis is basic but they give away a lot for even a f2p player to have a chance at the top charts. Main issue is the support as it could be more responsive and have more of a checks and balances system in play as there are players who’d name themselves something offensive or speak a certain way but will only get a light ban via, realm chat or silencing. Others like me apparently get permanently banned with no reasoning or say so as to why, not any way to properly contact the devs about such. It’s a good game but be a bit wary of its downsides I guess. Update: Never received a single word from the devs as to why my account was permanently banned. The website claims there is no appeal but I’d expect at least an explanation as a consistent daily player of the game. I refuse to restart the game with a new account, play for weeks upon weeks, spend money, be placed in a whole new realm, just to be merged into an older one that’ll run all over me as a player again. To top it off, not in the mood for spending all that time just to be randomly perma-banned all over again. Thanks for an empty app that i can’t even play anymore. Definitely a delete after how poorly things were handled..Asata5Version: 1.25

✓ Another overpriced pay to wait gameOpen ended game with awful PvP mechanics that mean you will get annihilated if you forget to activate a shield. It costs like 50 quid to get the dragons and for that you’ll be getting squashed anytime you come out of your shell. Used to be able to co op for defence but the whales are so over powered that this is little more than a token effort. Customer service is also very poor as is the random number gambling system they have installed. This tap tap game was a waste of my time and money..BulldogukVersion: 1.65

✓ DO NOT PLAY THIS GAMEThe Devs have continually screwed over its player base and in its latest update has finally put the nail in the coffin for most of us players that have spent months, years, money in this game for it to only spit us out and ask for money for doing so. They have completely nerfed the allie market. Now they have nerfed the ability to grow unless you want to throw mega bucks😀 at the game. As a player who’s been with this game since day 1, it’s a goodbye from me ATA, shame on you.😔.DJ FlipfootVersion: 1.64

✓ InsultingLatest update significantly reduced value of whatever ressources players had bought with real money and saved up previously, without any compensation or warning. Horrible surprise for players. This company repeatedly does not think though the changes they make, and seem outright malicious..GabbLVersion: 1.64

✓ Beta bluesI’m sure we all know and love glitches. One of our most popular was of course the “Dragons glitch” from back in the beta where whatever dragons we had on our wall would magically vanish like they never existed. Hence leaving us open to being zeroed. Seems as if ATA never patched this as it’s happened to numerous people since after the beta, Myself being recently whilst I was taking a break to mourn the death of my friend. 400k+ troops gone like it was nothing at all. Hopefully this can be fixed, Yet it shouldn’t have happened in the first place as I’m sure this glitch should’ve been patched back in the beta. Response to devs: The dragons had never been sent out or taken off the wall. I’ve already tried messaging you through the help system but you haven’t responded since I’m messaged on both the 2nd and 4th Of feb. Sadly I’m no longer in the Discord because I accidentally left or else I would have directly messaged you..Beta ScrubVersion: 1.28

✓ Save yourselfI have been playing this game for years. Yes, years. When I first started the developers were responsive and nice and a fun part of the game. It was possible to pay a little and still have fun and compete. Lately they seem to have become rude and all about money. I get making money off your product, you should and that’s why I do buy stuff on occasion. But there are players paying actual 10s of thousands of dollars on a regular basis to win events. Now they have just updated it so that you have to scroll through a ridiculous amount of adds to get your daily game tasks done. As if they need more money! Add to that they are now asking for just one word problem messages. To sum up, There is extreme lag in the game, you can’t win unless you’re a millionaire and the fun developers have gotten grumpy and greedy. Just don’t start playing. It’s too late for me. Save yourself!.SarcastraJ9Version: 1.80

✓ Poor Customer ServiceAsked for help on discord and in-game help but after trying to get help, they would blame you and wont compensate. Anything lost while bug/glitched is blamed upon you Corrupt developers who only wants revenue!.BrandoWasHisName-oVersion: 1.66

✓ Thanks Devs!Really disgusted with the updates! During beta, the game was supposed to be fun ( ie Lords Mobile ) where u can plunder kingdoms for resources, make as much gold as possible to hire allies for more fire power! Unfortunately there are so so many restrictions now ie resources transfer are capped, % from allies are capped, even attacking/plundering enemy kingdoms for resources are CAPPED! Devs should consider renaming the game “ Kingdoms of WTHeck!” Thank you ATA developers as you have given me more n more reasons to quit and spend my money elsewhere! 👍🏻✌🏻.SuperDisgustedReallyVersion: 1.36

✓ Pay to play. STOP. Don’t getIf you want a balanced game where you can enjoy it. Don’t get this one. They creat overpowered players that cause u to spend money to keep up. Do your self a favour and avoid at all costs. The makers only want your money and care very little about anyone who plays..Vipper101Version: 1.87

✓ Game breaking glitch?Sometimes when I launch the app a bunch of error codes come up telling me to restart the game and when I do, the next time I go to launch it it will freeze on the start screen with the ata logo. The only thing that fixes This is deleting the game and progressing to townhall 3 than signing back into my ata account..Ahamkara 🐲Version: 1.77

✓ Not compatiblePretty annoyed that after downloading the game once I went to play it it said I needed to update went back to App Store to update just to be told the my device isn't compatible with the game.Kymmyk946Version: 1.18

✓ A greedy apeThis used to be a great game until ata first nerfed gem drops from mobs. And now Ata have also changed they way the dragons work which means people have spent money on upgrading dragons that now don’t do what they should. This is horrible and needs to be reverted or a full refund of all iap made since the dragons were released. If we had know you were going to change things we never would have spent the money on them. This needs to stop..Strik3Version: 1.92

✓ TrashI have been a very LOYAL player, spent money on this game, played it daily, and still when they make mistakes they don’t want to help you out to correct it, “we will listen and do everything we can” then do nothing, they can’t communicate to save their lives and the game crashes every other day, game lags all the time, it’s a mess they get so much money from players but can’t invest into good servers to make game play better? Absolutely appalling..Azza262&83Version: 1.93

✓ Time for new anythingBesides new dragons, that’s cool.. getting new dragons is always cool but you guys really need to change up your events maybe do some server wars like a lot of players want! I sunk a lot of money in this game and I still love it but less there’s some changes in the game some new stuff, my spending days are over except for the meta token..Heck… I wouldn’t mind if you made even more stars for the META! The game has gotten really stale! Customer service is quick to get back to you at least with me.. unfortunately I think a lot of players have been quitting this game looking over the servers and the lack of players… guys don’t let this game die.. let’s fix all the glitchy stuff and get some much-needed new content! And that new game you have coming out? Blah! No interest whatsoever! Focus on your players that you have now! This game please! DJ GoldRock! 4 year player!.Joey D 1167Version: 2.25

✓ Stay awayWhat could be a brilliant game is unfortunately ruined by money hungry developers who don’t listen to their players. So much potential with a great group of people in game but a huge amount of people quitting due to ignorant developers.Pixel chickaVersion: 1.30

✓ Poor servers, huge lagGame is fairly fun, but has been almost unplayable for weeks due to random lag issues. Extremely frustrating, developers keep sending friendly messages but don’t seem to be able to do anything about it....Ken81moVersion: 1.77

✓ Simple requests ignoredTerrible app with terrible devs that never listen to players..UhaleksVersion: 1.88

✓ A community not a gameLike all the recent reviews this used to be a great game. I would quit like so many others have done after the last update. I’m sorry but it has ruined something I’ve been hooked to for about 18 months. The me only reason I’m hanging around is that small hope you will realise many of your community are here for each other and not the smouldering cinders that we’re once the fires of heck. Don’t start, and if you’ve already started enjoy the over complicated chatroom thats left ☹️.OliverEmilyFayeVersion: 1.68

✓ It’s alrightThe game really needs less time for upgrading your buildings and the game is alright. It’s just the build time that takes long.UndeadCelesteVersion: 2.08

✓ Terrible game, don’t waste your time on this gameNot sure why this game is 4.5 stars ppl making reviews must only play for a day, I’ve been playing since the game release never had much issues until late, lost all my troops bc of internal game problems, lagging ect, couldn’t send troops out couldn’t shield couldn’t even teleport away just sit and watch all my troops die, contacted support thru In game help about the issues they tell me sucks to be you and You don’t qualify for compensation, weird bc it was ata game issue, shows how much they care about there players. If you like games where the developers care more about money then how smoothly it’s runs for the ppl playing then this is for you. ZERO STARS.Joffy23Version: 2.23

✓ New Update really sucksHonestly, like other reviews - I thought this game would have a lot of potential later on but the new update really killed it. New players, don’t join. It’s not worth it. They changed a perfectly free to play game into a money spending game, basically killing the game itself. I am unsure if the developers will listen to us, but good luck! Not even worth one star rating at this point. 😅😂.ItsEddiotVersion: 1.64

✓ Trash updateDon’t waste your time downloading. The developers devalued the most “valuable” item in the game while simultaneously increasing costs for growth. It is nearly impossible to grow and they have said they will not be reversing. After two years of playing, I, among many others will be quitting.Ddzel23Version: 1.64

✓ Broken economyThe recent update increased prices, dropped the gem rate and has efficiently and effectively broken the in game economy. Pack Brought are now worth 80% less in game than what your purchased them for and ATA has indicated they are planning on screwing over players further. This game was fantastic. It’s turned into a paltry cash grab at the expense of players Avoid. Update. Despite the assurance they have reverted it, they reverted the least impactful part of their changes. And have kept the economy and the devalue of IAP as a way to rip off the customers. Avoid. Still..My cat is plotting...Version: 2.09

✓ New players bewareThe mechanics of this game are set up so that players of any size can attack you & steal your resources, even if they are 100x bigger than you. To combat this you may be shrewd & invest your gold in something like allies, but think again! Even your gold invested in allies can be stolen from you as & when your allies are hired. Team this up with the fact that this game is made by A Thinking Ape, who have a fairly long history of taking money from their player base only to stop support to their games until they become obsolete & move onto the next. New players be wary✌🏻 *Developer response - The rewards would depend on the amount of resources you have. I have no further interest in your game but thanks for the advice!.Artois_the_88Version: 1.28

✓ Poor experienceThe game is very engaging and very easy to play. The players are for the most part civil, at least as can be expected in a war game. The game is rated such that kids can play, I would definitely recommend against anyone under 18 being allowed to play. It is not uncommon for some of the players in the high end parts of the game to send vile, hateful, sexually explicit and often illegal private messages unsolicited to players just to harass them. This is where the problem comes in, the developer chooses to ignore this behavior. Instead they shut down requests for help with bullies that are sending messages like these that have nothing to do with simple game trash talk. They seemingly intentionally do not reply to tickets when you complain a lot, even about something as vile as this. They also constantly release completely broken features or features that had almost no balance testing done. In short, the game is fun up to a point, then it is simply miserable..TtttttttttvfggfvfVersion: 1.38

✓ AnnoyedI was playing for quite a while and built up my base to around 50 mil+ had a whole bunch of troops + recourses, until some a hole spams the fk out of me while I'm asleep and destroys months of progress. Not happy.Badboybilly 🔫Version: 1.12

✓ Getting worseSpent gems to train troops. Notification option was on. Also had app opted to run in background. I lost 300k troops because devs say IOS 11. Condensed activity on my account. Never received any notifications what so ever. Don’t waste your money. Again same problem. Except this time i was shielded with a timer set to wake up to reshield. Totally think a dev is messing with my game play. Has to be. There’s no moderators. And also on kaw. None of my other game apps have this problem. Just ata. And as per usual same response. Pay to play basically. And 9+ game think not. Bullying and grammar not suitable. Why it says 9+ is beyond me. Reported to apple. And basically if you shield or progress. You have to screenshot for “evidence”. Otherwise they don’t find the error..Slingo MommaVersion: 1.60

✓ AThoughtlessApe - Shambles.I’m sad that I am here writing a bad review of a company who’s games I have played for several years, but here goes nothing. AThinkingApe, where to start? The initial fun spoilt constantly and a continuous nerf albeit dragons, research or anything else they want to ruin? I have never met a company who’s logic is to have people to spend 10/20k to max pixelated dragons and then nerf them after a few months, seems legit huh? Honestly, save your money. ATA are the biggest fraud of a company you will ever meet. Expect a near non existent support team who have biased agendas with female customers on discord!.AThuggingUselessBunchaApesVersion: 1.83

✓ This game has changed *Updated*This game used to have a pay to win factor but you could still have a lot of fun without it. Now a days they’ve taken out some of the competition and a lot of the effort while increasing the paywall. We used to get one event a month that was 3 weeks long with a week break. You could pay 9.99 for an additional event to get more stuff. Now they do 2 week events with no breaks to double there money on the special events. We used to get placement avatars for rewards that were well thought out with the designs and they took that away. It seems like the game I used to enjoy being competitive in and having fun has lost its fun and is now just looking to find every last dollar to squeeze from people. This was one of the only phone games I actually enjoyed too. I tried to contact you guys like you replied with and you haven’t responded in over a week. Thanks a lot..Luke2161Version: 2.34

✓ Tutorial BugIm stuck on the “Heck of a Deal” screen. The tutorial isn’t done, it’s pointing at something that i can’t even tap. I’ve reinstalled the game and it’s still like that..Puffin_Version: 1.83

✓ Tantamount to Cyber bullyingThis game is good until you reach a point then each realm has its own version of cyber bully or bullies the creators when brought to their attention they blow you off and say it's a PVP game and continue to condone and foster this attitude in the game being "Zeroed out" is the best cyber bullying method employed by these groups clearly the creators of this game after so many hits in an hour could auto shield a kingdoms to slow this process but clearly this is not an option they have wanted to explore because they want people to buy everything. Very discouraging game don't start it so you won't be disappointed I was hooked early but through the growing process have been Zeroed several time in different realms so it seems no place is ok to grow even when you spend real money you still get beat down. DONT PLAY THIS GAME Our clan was In A hive the developers refuse to deal with this in a fair way like slow Down the zeroing process with shielding a player for 2 hours after so much loss it's very disheartening to lose all your hard work and money invested in a 30 minute time frame. when the bullies feel like hitting not during and event but when they they feel like it. you can see by the developers response they won't fix this thus they condone the bulling of other players even if they are in a hive. again DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME you will only become disappointed..Freakonature2Version: 1.39

✓ Money grabNo real play value for your money! Wish I can rate is zero stars!.Bdirect78Version: 1.70

✓ Ruining a good gameWas once a good game but their constant changes in order to get money out of you has sucked the fun out of the game. Their latest update is a joke and an insult! Don’t waste your time on this game!!.KohsucksVersion: 1.64

✓ Unbalanced kill/build ratioThere are 4 tiers of soldiers in this game with 3 types each. After two years if playing, I can build 2 types of tier 4 soldiers. However, to get 56k of each, the buildtime is ~2 weeks. To attack tier 8, I would need ~350k troops and to fill all my 3 march, I would need around ~1million troops. I would need 37.5 weeks. That is almost a year. Remember that this is for just one type which is for PVE. For PVP, you might need to triple that number. Yet, one forgetful day during FFA event, other players can decimate that in less than one hour. I have built my army for 2 years and one event is enough to undo that in a day. This game is all fun and have unique story and mechanics but it is all offset by the unbalanced kill/build ratio..SilberwolfeVersion: 2.03

✓ No support help!This should have been a 5 star report! Unfortunately 2 days ago a transaction went awry, I lost almost ALL my gold, a clan-mate tried to loan me 140K of gold to at least continue, that too was lost! Reported to their help desk and 2 days later I’m still waiting to hear from them! Now I have to do a lot of scratching and digging for gold in order to proceed... NOT HAPPY! NOT FUN!.RjbeethVersion: 1.63

✓ It’s a waiting gameI HATE games like these. No strategy, no complexity. If you really look at Lords Mobile or Heckfire it’s just waiting just a whole bunch of waiting. Sure I’m the beginning it’s not bad. However, be warned that when you start getting deeper into the game, a single upgrade takes like 5 days. I could legitimately write an essay on how bad these games are. Not to mention if you ever wanna climb to the very top, paying real money is a necessity. At least in Clash of Clans, you can actually control the attack. This game? You press the attack button, and then get your results. I will admit, though, that if you have like around 1 minute of free time then it gives you something to do. That’s how I used it at least. I gave it 2 stars because the game concept is bad, but I witnessed little amount of bugs and the game runs smoothly; there was at least work put into the game..IampolarpenguinVersion: 1.31

✓ A game shouldn’t be a job to play...A once awesome game with a exploited PvP problem... If you can’t pay to play, some accounts are worth a couple thousand in digital goods. And they flex hard! Too many big players exploiting the game to bully others to quit out. There is no value in PvE play style, and nothing to reward PvP players besides bragging rights. The games style promotes toxic gaming and it’s just not worth the expensive packages... I gotta bite the bullet on this one. Great game, simple content, and the PvP does require tactics to be effective. but nothing to stop a whole clan from using Modified APK shield droppers and hacks, and wiping an entire server for fun.. maybe a Penalty is an idea. Maybe balance it out and listen to the reports sent to ata about in game issues or appoint GMs in each realm for monitoring bully behavior and really nasty realm chat. Makes the game not enjoyable, a game shouldn’t be a job to play... and ata should support their game community and take pride to provide a better environment..AlekdrinaVersion: 1.60

✓ No pre-considerationI’ve been playing heckfire since May. Have to say it was a great experience while it lasted. I was a paying player and with recent updates on the game, it has come to them being undervalued due to the economy structure being changed. It has made it increasingly hard to make any gems for teleports and shields in game and with the lack of activity due to this brews have diminished. Overall bad decision a think long ape made to the game with no consideration of what the community playing wants. Should have gone else where to spend money..Anotherplayer876Version: 1.64

✓ I don't know what to think right now... 🙁Let me just say that I am NOT ok, NOT changing my rating until I am happy and right now I am NOT. This game is fun sure and I was really happy with my clan called the 'PANDA WARRIORS' and everything was great 👍🏻. BUT when I was editing my description for my clan I accidentally clicked the leave clan button and now I am crying because MY clan is being leaded by someone who has left it like a bajillion times! I am raging and quitting this game unless I get my clan back because I have messaged them SO, SO, SO, SO, SO many times and they have NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER RESPONDED. This game has literally mad me cry 😭..This app is amazeVersion: 1.22

✓ Not for meI can honestly say that these mobile war games are both fun and addicting, but therein lies the problem I have with them...if you are not careful you will end up wasting money and be left ultimately feeling let down. If you are going into this game for the first time and think that your $25-50 investment will give you an edge you are now advised it will not. Even if you can make it into the top clan initially it will only BUY you so much time and progress before those with endless pockets merge in and you become expendable. I thought since this was a more recent release that it might be different. Nope! Same design...same offerings...same shady behavior by the top players. I escaped only down $50 and I will not be joining any other mobile games from this point forward. Start reading and get to living life outside the mobile environment. It is exactly like others have said...Vegas on mobile. Free to play mobile gaming that is unforgiving in its ability to lure you into spending your money ($5-20) for what equates to a single chess piece for a chess game that requires all pieces to be competitive. The social aspect is great, but it doesn’t make up for the p2w format..Luv2PullVersion: 1.28

✓ More expensive that you would believeThey price their “packages” EXTREMELY high and then just put them on sale for a smaller but still massive amount of money for fictional currency and gems, we’re talking $250 and then put it on sale for $70, when it’s worth $10.SampogoVersion: 1.57

✓ Kingdoms of ripp u offGood game except the blatant greed displayed by ata and their developers to an extent that a lot of quests and rewards won’t be available until u put in your hard earned if u decide to pay to play don’t forget u get mass attacked by the realms biggest bullies resulting in your hard earned cash just disappearing along with anything u may have built up not recommended to any new players at all.BundrorVersion: 1.60

✓ Greedy greedy devsGame was very fun until their new economy “upgrade” which basically nerfed all sources of gems and now the game is impossible to play like we used to without spending. Devs got greedy simple as that. Now the player base has no motivation to play cause we simply do not trust them. All you guys had to do was add new content but instead got greedy and keep doing the same events with new skins then wonder why we have all these rewards. Honestly the saddest excuse for a company I have seen in my life..CamvrojVersion: 1.64

✓ P2W Game heckin unfunThis is the perfect definition of a P2P game let alone P2W. You can spend months building your account, login everyday, do the daily quests and you will still not be able to participate in the biggest and most important feature "shrines".. Even if you are a moderate spender you'll be irrelevant, you will NEVER be able to compete or play this game without spending 1000s. They say "oh we are working at keeping balance" but that is a lie, they have now even started to reset people's allies? They give people 50% of the price they paid, they don't care about the players. It is geared only towards the idiots that spend 1000s on a tap tap game. If you're looking to waste loads of money, and have little skill then this is the game for you. But be quick, the game is dying fast and so many people leaving and quitting as it's unplayable and certainly not enjoyable. # Rip off # only LB players matter # treat players like cash cows.Kawing is funVersion: 1.32.2

✓ Heckfire end game play has been ruinedStarted the game in Beta excellent game to start with. Unfortunately players are now account sharing selling/buying gold on the black market to strip and zero. Terrible after all the time and effort players have made. If you are and non spender or an average spender this game is not for you. Upwards of $500 a month to be competitive. Very disappointed after putting over a year into the game..Bishy12Version: 1.36

✓ Don’t download this if you have an older deviceI have played this for a few years now. It can be a fun game but can also be very expensive if you don’t want to wait 3 month or longer for some upgrade times to run. This will be the case when you reach higher levels. Recently I had an issue where my data was off the charts. I submitted a help desk ticket to find out why. I was asked how often the game crashed. My response was that it does not, it just restarted almost every time I switch between apps. At this point I was told it was because of my old device. It’s an iPhone 7 running current OS which works perfectly fine with every other app, game I have loaded. There have been so many updates, “upgrades”, that seems to always have issues. I don’t recall a single one in 3 years that went very smooth, so apparently not very thorough testing done before a release. But this is my device. So now, less than 2 days after the help desk ticket was closed, I can’t even get on the game. It’s starts up and immediately closes. This is very strange since I had zero crash issues before I submitted the help desk which I stated I would not be investing in a new phone to test their theory. Beware... there is no type of compatibility setup in this app to support any type of older devices apparently. Not a very happy customer considering I just drop $100 on the game about a week ago and now it won’t even load after submitting a help desk ticket..ZagnutterVersion: 1.93

✓ Okay game but becomes pay to win to stay competitiveI’ve played this game a lot and have quit a few times and came back again and again. The leveling and fighting is fun but I will warn you to even stay in the top 100 you have to pay into it. A lot of folks buy gems to speed up construction, research and training which is normal in games like this. But also add teleporting your city , bubbling your city and you find out you don’t have enough to bubble. So what do you do? You can’t move you can’t bubble and the guys that do just attack you and there’s nothing you can do. I get it, the game has a lot of pvp but I just think that the difference between the gem pay to win folks and the common folks is just way too annoying to even enjoy this game as a casual..NeallhlhVersion: 1.86

✓ Has gone downhillI wanted to rate 1 star but you get 2 stars for Nostalgia. I have been playing for a year. I have spent around $250 on this game and am at the lower end of people who spend. I loved your game when I started playing. You could easily grind your way up. Then the gem economy changed and now has become heavily weighted towards big spenders. The game creators have slowly changed some of the best parts of the game and can not solve inflation issues with parts of the game. I get it’s a “free” game I have spent because the game was that good. The creators have shown they care more about a dollar right now than actually supporting a community. They have a forum I was banned from for and I quote “inciting negative reviews” after venting my frustration with there choices in the feedback discussion channel. I loved the game and am in to deep to stop yet the only reason I continue is the people I play with. I am a change away from deleting the app and am now 100% free to play from now on because I refuse to pay anymore until issues are fixed..KicinskijrVersion: 1.78

✓ I loved this game, but....I really loved this game and played it consistently for months.. but every server has that one person who spends thousands of dollars to bully the entire server. The devs say form a hive to help. But when people spend so much on the game to get that strong there is nothing you can do about it. So then that makes all the top players want to pair up with the rich guy so they don’t get zeroed.. I understand the pay to play aspect and honestly this game you can manage with F2P. But I just don’t understand how some people get so much satisfaction spending thousands on the server to bully everybody. The server complained so much about this one guy zeroing everybody, that the devs actually thought about moving him to a server with people his strength. But the guy told the devs if they did that then he would no longer spend his money on the game. So yeah, he stayed and made the server completely unbalanced. It’s really a shame because this game is really good..Cale12364Version: 1.41

✓ RidiculousThis game is a rip off! Takes all your money and gives nothing back, just keep taking and taking and upping the cost of things in game until you legit can’t do anything unless you spend a ton!.TuluahhVersion: 1.64

✓ Fun but notThe game is neat, but unbelievably prone to cyber bullies. In fact, the developers have designed the game and now even new dragons in order to encourage the bullying. They want people to destroy your progress so that you spend tons of money to recover. That’s the other problem; even if you wanted to spend some money to get ahead, your money goes almost nowhere. Everything costs an absurd amount for almost nothing. $10 for a few crystals and a couple dragon shards. Even their $99 packages are a joke and wouldn’t get you far at all. Unless you’re playing with friends that are already incredibly strong, you’ll spend most of your time trying not to get zeroed and have all your resources stolen the second your shields go down. People will literally watch for when that happens and zero you within 5 minutes of your shield expiring. Which means you lose most of your troops that took you weeks to get, which means you can barely even hit the monsters, if at all. I’ll give 2 stars because at least it’s fun for the first month..FrisbeeKojoVersion: 1.85

✓ Trash gameThat’s all.WhatsUpEhVersion: 1.64

✓ Your investment will be ripped out from under you by ATAI started playing this game last November. The game was an awesome balance of war and friendliness. A short time later ATA decided to merge realms for ‘realm health’. We were the underdogs and it took ages for us build up to be able to compete again. Then come February the same thing happens again. This time it’s worse, we are merged with players who have played since the beginning and were beta testers. They have a huge advantage over us, having received many more rewards and payments compared to us. There is zero chance of us catching up now. My investment into this game over the last 4 months is now ruined as what I originally paid for no longer exists. We have become fodder for the larger players. Do not download this game as what you pay for will no longer exist..AmaloutiaVersion: 1.30.1

✓ I feel like this is pay 2 winSo I have played this game a lot and it can be pretty fun but when you start getting to the higher ranks there is so many pay 2 win players everywhere and my father loves this game but he can’t really have a good time sometimes because there’s so many offers with like buy this or buy that blasting his phone and you can’t really progress with spending a $20-$100 and there is a lot of people who bully you and flex the things they got with the large amounts of money they spent and when I started to play because my father got me into it and I notice there was a lot of bully’s, out of nowhere some town hall 25 was attacking me a 18 town hall and I lost months of resources and grinding just like that to a bully and pay 2 win and started taunting me like “you trash kid and you are so bad this realm is to big for you get out of it” and I was pretty sad but it’s just so hard to upgrade without spending money to get your upgrades faster and I was really like wow so you want me to spend $20 just to do one upgrade and after when I become bigger it’s gonna be like where’s the $100 to upgrade that one thing like that farm or something. This was my experience and I really hope you had a better experience than me and thank you for taking the time out of your day to see me review this game thanks and have a wonderful day ;).Review (the bad things)Version: 1.80

✓ Greedy (Don’t be fooled by their paid reviews)Greedy game full of greedy devs who don’t actually care for their player base unless they are spending thousands of dollars. Releases broken and overpowered dragons and then nerfs them all once people spend their money. Resets some people’s dragons back to zero and then doesn’t fairly compensate them. These shady dealings are all too common in this game. Don’t expect to get any sort of customer service or satisfaction out of this game unless you’re spending big. Sad, I’ve seen this game go from a very fun little game where minimal spenders could survive. To now not being able to even participate in events without paying money..Don's ReviewsVersion: 1.93

✓ SadIt’s sad that more than a year on and all those negative reviews about this game being a money grab are still very much true. The game is only worth playing if you can spend £1000s of £ on it because that is the only way you can become successful in this game. People who can’t afford that or people that are moderate spenders don’t get a look in. In the realm I am in it’s the same person who wins rule the realm over and over time after time. This game is not balanced. It encourages you to waste in game currency so you need to spend money. I’m quitting. It’s been long enough now and there has been ZERO positive change for players that can’t invest the cash. I don’t even enjoy the game anymore because we are all living in fear of getting zeroed and losing all the troops we have built up over the last year or so. No more ata! You guys aren’t even trying anymore..ApplepipVersion: 1.87

✓ Broken gameThis game used to Run more smooth maybe a year ago or so.. since it has nothing but lag! People pay thousands of dollars on this game.. to think they would at least fix lag on the actual Pvp side of the game especially for those who fund this company.. but they don’t bother. Cant swarm anyone properly without getting your marches stuck and keep having to refresh the game. It’s garbage..Catzes96Version: 1.88

✓ Used to be great.Apparently too many people were hoarding gems - funny how you can still buy them for real money though! Ways to earn gems for free have been reduced to next to nothing. Only option is now to pay real money. Prices of everything have massively increased so gems already bought are worth a fraction of what they were. Now they’ve introduced leagues where you can compete to show your skill... apart from the fact you can spend real money to progress. Special offer packs at just £99. Yes, £99! The latest new event gives (small) rewards for using your gems so of course the only way to win these events is to spend real money, then throw it away buy using what you’ve purchased. I know they need to make money but it’s getting ridiculous. It’s not about skill, it’s who is willing to spend the most..ClairejmanningVersion: 1.71

✓ Terrible upgrade.Way to go guys... you’ve ruined it now. Thanks for jacking the prices of speed ups way up so no one can grow in this game anymore. Titans won’t drop as many jewels anymore and you’ve basically made it impossible to bounce back from being zeroed or attract new players. I wouldn’t be surprised if you start losing a lot of players..Lauryl182Version: 1.64

✓ Good Game, Awful Vendor SupportGameplay for this app is pretty good. The game scales nicely enabling you to grow without having to spend excessively (or at all if you choose to). Rewards and freebies are prevalent and the game has nice visuals. There are some issues however. The game seems to have far too many glitches for an app that’s been around for a while. One glitch in particular took me completely out of the game. Apparently my name (which I have been using the entire the this game has existed) suddenly became invalid. Since it was an invalid name I was unable to receive in game messages and notifications which led to my account being zeroed and I was completely unaware. Apparently my clan mates had been opening tickets on my behalf but ATA did nothing. When I asked why they said ‘Well we couldn’t contact you to follow up because your name is invalid’. I lost everything I spent nearly two years working on. ATA left me wide open, my account is unplayable and ATA could not care any less. Obviously it’s your call on whether or not to play this game. I just want to make you aware of the trauma that could be waiting..Mikael27Version: 1.66

✓ The guys are crooks, you need to readI have had a few replies from the Apes about my negative comments of this clash of clans rip off. The apes as well as future consumers need to be aware of how these developers do business. They will shut down their games. Smash monster is not the first game to be shut down by these guy and it will not be the last. They will manipulate the game until it is a pay to grow game only. Kingdoms at War is a prime example smash was on the way until their updates and change drove away a thriving community. Then we became their garbage while they designed and tried to push us to this crappy game. We paid for nothing more than out of date and recycle events from other games. This is my input. Pay these guys at your own risk. This is their randomly generate generic response to a costumer of almost 7 year. I have seen it three times now. Their forum response was complete garbage. Dear Ryan, A Thinking Ape Entertainment Ltd. responded to your review of Kingdoms of Heckfire A Thinking Ape Entertainment Ltd. "Rest assured there are no plans to shut Kingdoms of Heckfire down. We did recently announce the closure of one of our other games SMASH Monsters, though this was due to a number of factors. We've also made a post on the forums for that game explaining the situation in more detail." Still garbage Beware Do you want to update your review?.ChamooVersion: 1.28

✓ Pretty fun but needs balance changesCurrently as it is, it’s pretty fun just building up your little city, but this game really needs some “balancing”. With all the recent updates, it has focused on the strongest growing much stronger - and the weaker not being able to even grow close. As well (as many others have pointed out), there’s a system of troop kills, and it’s easy and incentivized for the top people to “zero” or kill every troop of lower players. This gets really annoying since people lose almost 3-4 months of progress and the attacker didn’t lose anything. I feel like there needs some changes in higher town hall people attacking lower ones, similar to how you do it for slaughter events - maybe make it so attacking requires energy, and for each town hall lower you attack, it requires more energy. This makes it so higher players will need lots of energy to attack someone around 5 town halls lower, but now have to fight each other to get troop kills. As well, I am pretty sure people wouldn’t mind using 100 brew or something to attack someone lower but get tons of loot (so it’s still incentivized to attack over cap people). Overall this ganne is great, so keep up the good work, but please take the pleads of the lower might people! Thanks!.Dlz9345Version: 1.32.2

✓ Don’t waste your timeI’ve played heckfire 3 years and I would not recommend it to anyone. The lag is unreal, you can loose years of progression in less than an hour, only care about lining their pockets and it’s extremely time consuming. Support are a joke and I had to provide the information and bring up details from previous updates because ‘they had never heard of it’ Speaking to others in different countries, as an Australian like myself the currency conversion is wrong therefore I pay more than for example, a person paying in American dollars would for the same product. There are so many better games with the same model..MaddzBVersion: 1.99

✓ Was a good game till new updateDon’t play. The new update has screwed us over and now has turned a war game into a bubble game due to up to a 400% in cost of using gems..NexehVersion: 1.64

✓ Great Game, Poor DevelopersI loved this game. I’ve played a lot of war and strategy games and this one was by far the best. The art style and the humor involved with the event story lines are great. It’s one of the most engaging game I’ve played. Yes the game is very much pay to win. There’s a lot of grinding to get to a point where you can feel accomplished but then you run into someone who’s bought their power and it’s a little discouraging. However that didn’t kill this game. There was enough content and a strong close knit player base to overlook those setbacks. It’s always been fun. However, the developers I don’t think have spent a single day playing this game. They’ve made updates and have taken away things players put time and money into without warning. They have no communication on what they are doing and they have flat out lied multiple times on changes being made or how they are going to fix an issue. This is a company that will gladly take your money but has no care for your input. They don’t care if they break their game. They don’t care if they can’t fix major issues that set players back or take things from players that they’ve spent time and money working on. It’s sad because this is such a great game. Don’t buy it. Don’t support these dishonest money hungry developers..Merl highchurchVersion: 1.93

✓ Pay to BullyThis game is full of people that pay to get big in the game just so they can pointlessly attack lower level players to make themselves feel good. It isn’t well thought out by the devs, it’s encouraged if anything as it costs no resources or in game attack fuel (brew) and so higher level players can choose to attack you all night long if they wish and destroy weeks of your progress in a very short time. I didn’t mind being looted for resources when over cap, but being repeatedly attacked for 3 hours just for taking part in a public event was enough for me. Save yourself the money and frustration and play something more enjoyable..Comisk43Version: 1.31

✓ Lies hAve iOS 10.3.3 not compatible anymoreReally annoyed with the game. Was playing, was a great game for mature people. Put $$$ into the game, only to have me blocked. App Store lets you download it, but game won't run as states needs to update. Updated and it's incompatible it would seem. Poor poor poor effort by developers. They should be refunding people..OMGVEEVersion: 1.36

✓ Constant Bugs with horrible compensationI’ve been playing KoH for about a year now and its highly addictive. Its a great PVP game that keeps your interest even at the higher levels. The one problem with this game is the bugs. The bugs alone are not the problem though, (obviously any game with constant updates is going to have some problems) its the compensation for those bugs. For instance, you could spend a ton of hard earned resources to go after a reward, and due to a bug, it doesnt give it to you or stops you from progressing towards that reward midway. ATAs response is typically some lame reward that doesnt even come close to the amount of resources lost. The customer service has also gone downhill by closing out tickets in the middle of conversations. I would not recommend this game anymore..ConcernedPlayer1234Version: 1.88

✓ Money is KingI love building up my city, until it gets to a point where everything costs a ton of resources, and insane timers. I know every other game gets this way as it goes along, but there’s not a way for a small player who just wants to learn the game and not spend their weekly paycheck to catch up. Yes realms are divided, but whoever has the right amount of cash to throw at the game will be over 1b might in a week, and that player can just as easily attack lower level players with no penalty or restriction. “Competitive” (very big players who most likely spent thousandths to grow insanely large in a brief amount of time) clans will zero others for no reason other than to flex their muscles outside of kill events. Case in point, I had an elder account and got a small account in a younger realm. The leader in my new realm managed to surpass my might-which took me over 6 months to build spending a reasonable amount-in less than a month just paying for stats. Players who know nothing about the game, but can build insane might overnight and get bored and go hunt others. Unfortunately what other players have stated is true, now I don’t spend or spend the bare minimum knowing it can all be destroyed in a couple of hours if I run out of shields. So yes it’s fun to build, but if you don’t plan on spending an insane amount of money, you won’t be on any lb ever just based on hard work and learning the game. Cash is King..J12345678000Version: 1.54

✓ Was a good game.....This was, as the title suggests, a good game. That is, until a recent issue came to light. Smaller accounts getting hit and then extortion was being issued to those that pay gold for the hits to stop. I brought this issue up with the developers, only to be told that ceasefires were a part of the game and there was no issue unless real life currency was being demanded. Now seeing as gold packs are available from the shop, in exchange for real life currency, I fail to see the difference. I can’t see how demanding any resources for hits to stop, as all resources are available to buy, isn’t considered extortion. I for 1 will no longer be purchasing anything in this game and if it wasn’t for the friends I’ve made, I’d have quit as a result. Disappointed with the opinion of the devs is an understatement right now.MctaffbertVersion: 1.45

✓ Horrible support/staffI complained about a problem in September, 2 months later it hasn’t been fixed. In mid October, the game had issues with lag and the screen jumped around and resulted me exchanging something in game that I didn’t intend on getting. I asked for a refund and they said no way to do it, and I asked to escalate but they closed my ticket. I opened a new ticket to say nothing was resolved and I was not given any chance to escalate, so they said they needed a senior agent to deal with it. 2 weeks later, still no response. No compensation or anything given for their own faulty app/glitch..MysteryLane playerVersion: 2.34

✓ Pop up asking for review u get what u ask forBeen playing KOH for 2 years, there’s been some steep changing in marketing and cutting rewards in game to force players to buy things. Don’t kid yourself it’s absolutely pay to win and you cannot compete with a paid account no matter how much you play. Very Toxic in game community, ata DO NOT ban any players no matter how disgusting their behaviour. Bots are Rife, ata are fully aware of bots being used giving players the upper hand, full player ally lists alerts for shields dropping ect.... I have seen players accounts stripped of all ally gold in less than 30 mins down to these data scraping bots people have invested time and money into this and ata don’t care. Every single update and every single event brings bugs and crashes, it’s beyond a joke it’s so common place now that we the players don’t even care. I will keep playing for the friendships in my group not for the quality of the game..AxteVersion: 1.74

✓ DeletedI deleted the game just before finishing the tutorials. The game is laggy and slow. Too much buffering..PqidhdbchsndlagsnsVersion: 1.78

✓ Too greedyOverall an enjoyable game & great to interact with other players. Been playing for a few months now. At first it was fair & easy enough to build through missions & rewards. Now it seems every month before new meta event there’s a new got to pay for feature. I don’t mind spending money on a game I enjoy but this game requires a 2nd mortgage or an endless limit credit card. Would not recommend this game due to the pure greed of the game owners!!.Crazygal73Version: 2.01

✓ Good game, but very difficult to understand might levelGood game, but without a clan/guild you will have no idea how to play this game. I still don’t understand what to do, to increase the might level, even though I’m level 25. The game won’t tell you, it’s one of those things..Grendelg3Version: 2.31

✓ Good game but bad developerGame is fun when launch, as time goes on, game is getting more boring as that the developer can’t maintain the game more effectively. When asking for help, they can’t even help to solve the game problem and comes up with excuses. They only care about your money..AznxhineeVersion: 1.41

✓ Think twice before playing this gameAvoid this game at all costs unless you like to bully people which ATA advocates with their new feature which now allows derogatory titles bestowed upon people, also which I see as an unlawful tax on any brew you purchase to kill monsters, as they the tax your gold food and ore you get. Only still playing with the hope that ATA will level the playing field not just support the bullies. Rate 1 star only because I can’t give any lose..XcrixusVersion: 1.38

✓ FailI have played a number of realm type strategy war games and this one by far is the lowest of the rank in terms of how the devs handle certain situations. I don’t think they understand or believe that the only reason they exist is because of us and how much we spend on the game. Maybe the devs should have a conversation with the devs from Instant War since they have got it down. One perfect example is how they managed the merge between an older and newer realm. Guys that were at the top of the newer realm now sit at the bottom of the older realm without a fighting chance. The only sense I can make of this is that they think the newer realm now is going to spend even more to catch up but on the contrary, it’s taken away a lot of motivation for anyone to want to continue playing the game. What should have happened is they should have dug in thier pockets and helped the newer realm have a fighting chance by giving them some speed ups and some gems to be able to train defense at the very least. I don’t ever write reviews but this had to be put out thier. I’ve spent way to much on this game to have it be irrelevant just because the devs don’t care about the people making them money..HecticmarineVersion: 1.87

✓ Bullying and HarassmentInitially this game is light hearted and a bit of fun 👍 You start your town, join a Clan and start packing on the Might 💪 Unfortunately if you miss setting a shield, or come under the scrutiny of a team of bullies or a Clan that targets your Clan. That is where the fun ends! Notifications don’t work properly, and you can lose all that hard won Might, and Money!! If you decide to spend a little here and there. Tickets are answered in a timely fashion mostly... a day or two most time... But any losses you incur due to bad connection, or not being able to access the game are your to suffer!! I have also yet to hear of a positive outcome for the people being bullied by TK Hunting Clans! (Troop Kills) Your cries go unanswered, and most people end up quitting the game because of it...._BigBrawls_Version: 1.55

✓ HelpSince I have had to do the update The app keeps crashing on startup I can’t even get past the start up screen I’ve been playing for about 6 months I’m pretty devastated to say the least Please help it’s been over 24 hours and I still can’t load my game 5 days still not loading HELP ME!! !!!!!!.JadeLeiiighVersion: 1.47

✓ Game ruinedGame was successful and fun to play, real life social aspects grew out of this game. It was set up so that newer players could be somewhat competitive within a couple months.....then came 9/11...ATA decided to toss in 1400% inflation tax for growth related items, and completely ignore any feedback from players on how to better grow the game. 0 stars for this boneheaded move. Response from them? To lower the Inflation tax from 1400% to 500%...still rendering growth of the game as nearly impossible. Especially for new players. DO NOT START THIS GAME UNLESS ALREADY ESTABLISHED.09rtVersion: 1.64

✓ KOHThis game can be a lot of fun. It can also be a horrendous experience. It’s all about how you want to play the game. Overall though, the biggest issue is in the bugs. If you find a bug, of which there are many, unless it affects the large player base they won’t address it for a very long time. They constantly release new content which sounds great but, the new content constantly creates or worsens old bug issues. Rather than fixing the old materials to work the right way they just pump out new dragons and content. It’s a very time consuming game filled with many bully clans. Smaller clans have no chance to equal the playing field when so many whales make it impossible to catch up without spending thousands of dollars, and even then still will never catch them. Stay small and go to unopened realms it’s the best chance for a fair fight. And hope you don’t find any bugs or just accept them as they are. Because the team won’t fix them..Kan0sh1Version: 2.06

✓ HorribleI’ve been playing this game for almost 4 years now and have come to this conclusion… Between the lag, the rudeness and lack of help from developers and the constant back to back events that require large amounts of spending just to place in even the top 200, it’s not worth it. This game is all about how much you’re willing to spend and has become monotonous with the same rotation of daily events. You will constantly get messages from the developers apologizing for the latest bug/glitch that never truly gets resolved. Save yourself the frustration and find something else to play..Gamer51977Version: 2.24

✓ Don’t waste your timeStay away. I downloaded this game as I regularly play another game made by these developers and was promised extra items if i downloaded this game but it never happened. Anyway I complained about not receiving items and said something will be done , it’s now been 2 years and still nothing... The devs only care about pay to play customers. ( I’ve spent thousands on their other game and decided I would do similar in this game but then I found out mechanics that if I’m not online or shielded I could loose all my troops and they’re not coming back. I’ve been zeroed 3 times and it’s just not worth playing this game. Took me over a year to get to 5m troops and in 1 hour I lost 4.6m troops by being bullied and farmed by players 10x stronger than you. Best to play and spend money on another game. They also destroyed their gem currency by making it more useless and giving less when killing monsters. I gave 2 stars as you can meet some nice people in game. Stay Away and done waste your time on this game..The real deal môfoVersion: 1.86

✓ Dont bother to waste ur time and effort.As i was reading the reviews, i noticed dev comments saying “our developers review each comment and take feedback very seriously. Thats a lie for the last 3 years the entire heckfire players have been asking for better overall fun. You took that away long ago. It started with forcing players into larger player brackets with much stronger players forcing them to spend money, and if not they are left in the dust just to have those millions of dead accounts because its not worth spending hundreds just to get in top 100 one time and fall off again. Ive been playing for over 9 years and to invested to quit ive watched so many players come and go. Ive watched players start and spend money like its nothing and sit at the top and stay there. The fun is gone ive grinded for almost a decade and still cant keep up with the money spenders. The game has officially turned into a pay to play. I miss when u could be top dog just by playing consistently this game is pathetic and no longer fun… ive wasted 9 years of my life playing a game that never gave me any satisfaction. The game is dead. The players that are in it arent even what u expect, u would think the higher value players would be more of help to newer players but instead u get called nasty names and get disrespected, forced to switch realms. I dont even go in the global chat anymore because its no point in trying to ask for help or even a civilized conversation. It turns into a battle wich then proceeds into being bullied by the bigger players and their clan mates. You cant have fun in a game u have to hide away in… ATA, you guys are terrible game developers sell the company to someone who cares about their community. You grew a community who loved u in the beginning now everyone has grown to hate the developers. If u don’t believe me make accounts and set them in every realm watch the global chat and watch everyone talk about how the game is just a money pit...FffdffdfVersion: 2.31

✓ Great Game, but Pay to WinThis game started out fun, easily a 5 star game. As you progress, you will acquire a ton of golds. At level 9-10, you will lose your shield. About 7-12 days in you will quickly realize it’s pay to win. I was attacked 8-10 times by the same player. Lost all my loot. I don’t mind PvP, but a 44,000,000 attack power player hitting a 4,000,000 player is like bringing a rocket launcher to a knife fight. This game offer no shield after any attack. If you are away for longer than 6-10 hours...good luck. For this reason, I can only give it a 2 star. Again, it is a fun game as you start out, but quickly turn into a bullying type of game. Suggestions: might want to reduce loot % taken, if a player attack power are clearly above the other player. *Update Same guy with godly amount of attack power attack everyday 30-50 times a day. To a point where you make zero progress. At one point I enjoy the game, but being attack time and time again makes this game “pay to win” account was deleted. There’s no point to farm and lose all my resource to 1 person..RecklessGolferVersion: 1.86

✓ Don’t spend money!!I’m gonna start off with saying most aspects of this game are great. Most the time you have a great community. There is enough content to keep you busy but not feel overwhelmed and the game is genuinely fun, again most of the time. There however is and has been an issue that the developers just ignore and pretend will fix itself, that clearly won’t, which turns a game that is incredibly fun quickly to a sour taste in your mouth. The issue I am referring to is griefing. Currently the system promotes griefing with a “TROOP KILL” leaderboard and the easiest way to get these kills is to wait until players go offline and attack them repeatedly until you eventually kill troops. All of this just causes players that are enormously high players to attack players much smaller. The developers allow this too! They sit ideally by while most of the player base is bullied by a select few players. The features implemented to curb the assaults merely delay the inevitable, you will be farmed for your hard earned troops and there is nothing you can do about it. It has definitely ruined this experience for me. Don’t be a fool, like I was, and spend money on this game..JevollmanVersion: 1.26

✓ Good and badThe games is a resource driven pvp game. Kill monsters, collect resources and attack other players while building up your town. The game is fun but does have serious negatives that will kill the game eventually. Pros: The game is humorous and graphics are cool. There is enough to keep you busy for awhile before you have to wait for resources to replenish. Cons: Zeroing. You build up troops a couple hundred at a time. Each training group can take approx 18hrs or more to train. So it can take MONTHS to build up useful troops to play. They run events called FFA (free for all) where they encourage players to attack each other. There is no automatic shield once you’ve been attacked so they can attack you until all your troops and resources have been drained and Zeroed out. Players after being zeroed are just quitting the game and it’s already having its effects. Every few months the amount of players per server dwindle so they merge servers. The game is fun but will eventually die out soon..PhotogDeScottiVersion: 1.76

✓ Unfinished and pay to playThis game was great when it first launched. Tons of play value and lots of fun. But sadly as it goes on the developers take out things that made this game fun. Gem nodes take forever to gather and not worth it. No point in attacking titans anymore. No longer ties for progressions. Next will be taking out pints as gifts. Prices for in app purchases are ridiculous expensive and I refuse to help this company anymore.(I gave thousands).Why? Just why?Version: 1.64

✓ New updateWhat the actual heck! People that have been playing this game for a long time all of a sudden get less!! Reward system now is shocking, to now get not even a quarter of the rewards that we would have previously got is just well a slap in the face. For a new player that has never known any difference then fine but as a long standing player.... pffft The games constantly being ruled by paying players yet we continued to play I’m afraid this will have pushed a lot of players away now as there’s no way to attempt to keep up.XxlucillexxVersion: 1.64

✓ I’m so disappointed in youThank you for finally ruining the game for F2P players with your ultra events!!! What happened to mixing it up we have had ultra events for 4 weeks now you have to waste so many gems just to hit 3 stars! You finally stopped caring about your F2P player. I’m disappointed ata very disappointed.StonermagicVersion: 1.39

✓ Previously good game ruinedI’ve played this game for 18 months and in the last 6 months it has gone drastically downhill. The developer has gotten greedy. Now you need to buy a pack to enter a “bonus” event in order to keep up. What was once quarterly events is now non stop. And if that wasn’t bad enough the latest change means all previous work has been massively devalued as they have changed the cost of their “premium currency” without giving any warning to their player base. AVOID..AubsXVersion: 1.64

✓ Newest updateHad to go get family to evacuate and because I didn’t live in Florida they wouldn’t give a shield which resulted in zeroing. Then after requesting a restoration of account it accommodating a refund of lost power. Really couldn’t be bothered with some lame excuse as they were sorry they just didn’t want to do it. Then with the new update pushed the cost of restoring troops doubled which even if your lucky maybe you’ll have 2 full marches of Huntresses in 2 months if your lucky cause they dropped the gems rewards for mobs. Now in my realm they Zero because they are bored everybody has done research and just mining gold all day and participating in events. Then when you do participate in events they take away your points and don’t refund you at all. The game glitches and they give you lame rewards generally across the board instead of what you actually did. Too many times they stole points away because they decided they didn’t make enough money making us purchase keys or points for reward tiers. All in all they have ruined the game for players who just want to have fun. Letting the credit card warriors bully anybody else that’s just playing for fun. Not listening to feedback from players while filling their pockets with money from events. Not understanding we are the reason why you make money and being appreciative of your customers. To me it’s just a money grab on their part. Without thinking of customer service first..Cassie ellisVersion: 1.64

✓ Don’t botherThe pay to win players are to powerful and can take what they want and there’s nothing you can do about it..Locodude36Version: 1.28

✓ Violence, obscenities, threats amongst players even towards children.Do not let your children play until you want then to be exposed to anti-social behavior, violence, bullying, obscenities and be subjected to threats by "powerful" players. Or if you like to be told what to do, what NOT to do by a select few "powerful" players who probably threw in a lot of money for the game, then go ahead. This game is ruled by a bunch of people in a communist-like manner, who sets rules for others to follow. If you go against them, be prepared to be threatened via PM. Read the very colourful realm chat for daily arguments of such nature. Oh, and the developer doesn't care of course, because those communists are the big spender..EliemaniacsVersion: 1.18

✓ Playground for pathetic bullies, you’re the playground equipmentTo start this game is fun. It ropes you in with some fun gameplay and city building aspects. The ally system is a textbook example of a ponzi scheme. If someone buys your ally you get a little money but usually not enough to buy an equivalent ally. Unless you spend lots of RL money to buy gold packs you will never get ahead with the ally system. You constantly struggle to build your ally bonuses up and someone can buy an ally and wipe out your gold by PvPing you in no time flat. More on this in the next paragraph. ATA shamelessly protects this in order to sell more gold packs. Unfortunately the early game fun in this game doesn’t last. The game gets more and more toxic and if you stick with it long enough you’ll run into these huge clans with huge players who spend gobs of time and money on the game. They use bots to wipe out your ally bonuses and gold then wipe out your troops. You can have years of time and money invested wiped out in literally 5-10 minutes. A lot of them are moderators and buddies of the devs from other games so they are protected and you are simply chum for the sharks. You’ll eventually get merged into their realm, it’s only a matter of time. If you want to be married to this game for the time you play it and constantly on edge to protect your account this is the game for you..Bubbuh JonesVersion: 1.72

✓ For Wallet Warriors onlyUnless you are prepared to spend thousands and thousand of $$$ don't bother. Month and months of F2P time can be destroyed by someone with a credit card in minutes. Unless you spend Dev's don't care!.Back3rsVersion: 1.30.2

✓ Developer Killed The AppClear case of greed on the developer’s behalf (ATA), coupled with their complete lack of transparency, and ZERO experience playing their own game...ATA effectively killed their own app.. If only they’d read the silly polls they had us fill out every other week. We have the game’s best interests at heart. We know what it needs for longevity. They had our time, our loyalty, our hopeless addiction, and they threw it all away. Their lack of meaningful communication has sent most of the player base out on a mission, investigating new possibilities. The world is our oyster, and Heckfire is dead in the water!.KoH Junkie No MoreVersion: 1.64

✓ Corporate Corruption!Been playing this game for over a year now and recent upgrade reduced gem rewards by 82% without out any notice given? Yet all the costs for speed ups, upgrades, and shields to protect your kingdom remain the same inflated costs. The Developers are money hungry and only want players that can spend money can play. Not a fun game to play any longer :(.WinterWizardVersion: 1.64

✓ Kingdoms of crashThe game crash everytime..MokaGobletVersion: 1.17

✓ RIP Heckfire - what was a great game destroyed by developer greedI’ve been playing since this was in beta testing. Regular changes brought some grumbles and sometimes delight. Then a major change to the economy of the game was inflicted without consultation and all the fun was sucked out overnight. Developers had promised new levels of troops, everyone had been saving gems, then they destroyed it by devaluing. Short term greed will result in long term loss. Avoid until they repent..UkTedVersion: 1.64

✓ ConnectionThat Normal I cant connect the game anymore ?.ThestarzooVersion: 1.77

✓ If you got money…So been playing for 2 weeks, realm 145, and at first when I noticed someone’s power level of over a billion I thought, “wow they must have been playing for awhile and be from another realm”. A couple weeks go by and I’m just below 30mil power. Here comes everyone and I mean everyone zeroing me in. I can’t do anything other than shield. I can only tell my clan to do the same because we’re all lower level and joined at similar times. It’s fair to say that there isn’t actually much strategy in this game. It’s fair to say that we were all put in a realm that has already had plenty of developments and people spending a lot of money to get ahead. This isn’t strategic or fair. I will not revoke my rating either, at least until you make it fair and allow more than 8 realms to transfer to; ones where maybe when the people that are winning in a realm with over 100 times your power level, not let you in till you’re a specific level, hit you constantly so growth isn’t possible without spending money, etc. My suggestion is clear, if the top power level is 1mil then no one over 1mil can join. Pretty easy right? Open all realms to everyone that wants to spend 5k rubies with your month cooldown and more people will spend money. Your handful of players will only last so long before they’re bored, I’m sure you want your company to last longer than that..ReviewthisnicknameVersion: 2.29

✓ Disappointed in devs and adminsIt’s sad to see any help or support from admins or even the devs. They have the power to do it but refuse to do it since they will lose out in cash. The pvp system is broken and people that pay to win will take charge of the realm and will beat anyone down if they try to get close or look like a threat. How do you make a game so unbalanced it punishes the little guys for not being able to spend money. For shame. A way to fix the games balance is by removing allies and have a set limit on how hard one can hit. Forcing them to use the rally system in order to get past the walls people have. Punish players that zero weaker players. Have them lose more troops in the process then they are killing. Maybe double hospital capacity so they suffer for burning. Sad part is the devs and admins will turn a blind eye and refuse to help due to how greedy they are. If you truly cared you’d would of done something already..13treyedVersion: 1.55

✓ Terrible updateNew update made the game unplayable.Aaaas123Version: 1.64

✓ Addictive, will disrupt your RLAddictive af, great fun, great people. If you’re easily hooked on destroying other people then this is the game for you! But be prepared! It doesn’t come cheap to your bank account or to your sleep patterns! Pay attention to shields or you will be wiped out. I played for 2 years and spent 10,000s. Not really regrettable. But in the end it was just too tough to keep up with insomniacs and deep pockets..H8taxVersion: 1.75

✓ Spent 1000s in under 2 month but won’t give me a breakI read a review previously where they said if your on holiday just pm them and they will shield you.. We’re away on holiday for 2 weeks next week and they’ve said they won’t do it.. guess they want me to be killled and have to spend a fortune to play again… So yeah the game is fun (and expensive if your want to compete) but don’t expect to go on holiday when you play unless you want to start again.. what a waste of £1000s.MediumAngerVersion: 2.18

✓ A game past it’s primeThis game needs new life or final death. We need new events, actual things to do, reasons to play. One of the most recent “events” is a load your brew event. Literally load brew for hitting raids or monsters and just like that you’ve finished the event. In 10 seconds. Wow. Lot of effort went into that, ATA. There has been lag that makes the game unplayable for years that has never been fixed, chronic issues in game that are reported over and over to ATA with no resolution. It’s become really obvious that the developers don’t care. They keep this game going to continue to milk the players who still spend money on this garbage but they don’t have any intention of actually making the game more fun to play. I stay because I have friends in the game, not because of the game itself. I do not recommend anyone waste their time, effort or money on this tired, unimaginative and unplayable mess..Toonie3822Version: 2.31

✓ Don’t waste your timeI’ve been playing this game for just over a year now. I’ve only stayed purely because of the amount of time I spent to build what I got only to loose it by leaving. I’m really disappointed in how the developers have made anything worth buying over $100 and now they are pushing you to pay to participate in events, wouldn’t advise people to play unless you loaded because you will never be able to complete unless you cough up serious money..Hanico fairnightVersion: 1.44

✓ HmmmmThis game is fun, and has lots of potential, but there are a few things that I think would make the game 10X better were they to be implemented. One thing I’ve noticed since I’ve played this is the bland dragon leveling. no matter how much you feed them or what you equip them with, it never changes them or makes them bigger and badder. It’s simple things like that that make a game great. Second, I wish there was a more in depth battle sequence. Something along the lines of lords mobile where you can watch the battle instead of just blood and guts flying everywhere. I understand it’s supposed to be silly and cartoon like, but I know this is something that could be implemented. And lastly, battles and such use wayyyyyyyyy too much energy. Like way too much. 55 energy for a monster hunt is ridiculous.Hunthamonius95Version: 1.22

✓ Fraudulent CompanyThey don’t tell you until you’ve played and spent money or spent time that they merge the games realms in a brilliant manner. They merge weaker players realms into stronger players realms. So if you are say in realm 120 you started playing after realm 119. But they merge 120 into realm 119. The players in realm 120 just get beat up on. Sure it’s fun if your from the stronger older realm, but not if you were in the younger weaker realm. Had they told players they did this upfront, 90% of the players wouldn’t waste their time time playing this game, spending money in this game. So they don’t tell the players anything until a month or so into your playing time. That’s fraud. Kind of a bait and switch. Your getting used to the game, feeling comfortable and they take it away from you. But it’s ok, cause they have TOS rules which protect them. When you try to talk to them about it, they simply say they have given you enough notice. If your not happy you can move to a different realm - a much older realm - translation a much much stronger realm. Which makes no sense at all. Either they have never played their own game, are just stupid, or clearly don’t care about their customers. I think it’s all three. It’s an easy fix, don’t merge stronger players with weaker players or allow the weaker players some kind of fighting chance by giving them some kind of advantage to help them..JonroomVersion: 1.86

✓ Warning to iPhone 6 or lower usersThis is a good game. However, contrary to the listed spec, this game does not run well on iPhone 6 or lower. The lag on these phones make the game unplayable during times of high activity. I would NOT recommend unless using higher spec device..Elite1972Version: 1.57

✓ Terrible devs.Short review: dont ever play this game. Long: This game would honestly be great.. if it hadnt been changed to the point you need to spend to hit someone way smaller than you, there isnt a way to be free to play and be strong anymore. Theyve taken the best possible things in the game and ripped them from players or ruined good things. Like the dragon nerf, where people had spent THOUSANDS of dollars/countless hours on a dragon and they made the dragon useless. The gem nerf where gems were significantly reduced and barely given for killing a monster, the speed up nerf. EVERYTHING. If you plan to start playing this game, dont ever spend a dime in the store. Buy an old account if you want to be big, itll save you thousands and youll have no hassle dealing with the idiots over at ATA. They constantly give you a big F U whenever you go to the help ticket, or they tell u theyll look into it and never do anything about it. The game is filled with so many bots that ruin the game aswell, and ATA continues to not do anything about them even when someone brings PROOF OF A BOT. This game is overall terrible. Like i said it would be good if ATA wasnt filled with a bunch of goofs and werent money hungry. Its a common trend that they constantly change things in their games to continue to STEAL money from players. Sad to see this happening to someone who has been playing your games for 6 or 7 years now. DONT INSTALL THIS GARBAGE..Ur game sucks.Version: 1.94

✓ Takes forever to build your kingdomFun game and great players, but takes forever to build up your kingdom and troops. The troop hospital capacity is tiny, meaning if you get attacked in one of the frequent ‘Free for all’ events it can take a year to rebuild what you have lost unless you’re willing to spend a lot of money to speed up troop training etc. It could do with putting a cap on how many troops you can loose during a free for all event. As a result of this I’m not longer going to play as it’s too expensive to loose troops in these events - takes the fun out of the game..Molly1882Version: 1.85
