Rise of Castles: Fire and War for Negative User Reviews

✓ LinThe customer services never reply about my problem, how can the king can put the begger title to me , because only I don’t surrender to them, I have right to play my game , no need to follow them, And I think this is insult, why the customer support never reply to me. They playing fake game, one person only can use 1 account, but their players uses 2 account to play, that’s why they can become strong , this is cheat , and no one reply to my complaint,.Linda28281Version: 1.250.179

✓ Customer support problemsEnjoying playing the game now I can’t log in it’s asking me to log into another game which I do not play, I keep trying to contact there support team but heard nothing back other than to make a new account, I’m spent a lot of time and even some money on this just to be told to make a new account, what a joke on the game I am a leader of a alliance and they have kicked me out the game at the worst time they could of and now what ????? Tech support what are you telling me can you help log me back into my account or are you going to tell me is to make a new account ? Also on the crafting of equipment it’s a rip of I have been making the same one peace of item for weeks and I have more of everything else other than the one thing iv been making consistently so that is definitely a rip of within the game.Kingd1602Version: 1.250.189

✓ Greedy developersThey say its f2p and shows photos of age of empire. This game is just a scam to get your money. This game should be banned from all the stores..DryspreadVersion: 1.250.257

✓ Other playersCould have been a decent game however, such greedy players hitting littles for bugga all just to farm. I have played war games since old GOW days, never seen such greedy behavior. Deleted app at level 9 suggest that others don’t wait that long.Verrrrry annoyedVersion: 1.250.176

✓ They take your money and don’t refund when error on their sideI’ve played this game for 2 yrs now. And it’s getting more and more based around money to progress. Or at least try and keep up, although it’s impossible with those that spend £1000s on each castle. Anyway, recently the game glitched an removed a skill from one of my hero’s. After a week of msgs to CS. They eventually rewarded just one hero medal. Didn’t give back my 2m gold, or all the wisdom medals to max the hero again. They said it wasn’t maxed. I know 100% it was, and after what I’ve spent on the game. They refuse to reimburse me fully for the error on their side. Disgraceful!.Blu5teelVersion: 1.250.251

✓ Defrauds moneyBeen a loyal player for over a year, spent hundreds of dollars at my own free will and then one day they tried charging me someone that I did not authorise. When I ask for a refund they put my account into -289,000 gems and told me I’d get them back if I paid the amount Apple refunded me . Customer service did not care at all, held my account ransom.Lezqueen69Version: 2.13.1

✓ All they want is your $$$At early stages of the game it feels like the game is possible to play without spending any of your hard earned money. I’d say the whole thing changes once lvl 17 is reached.. from this level onwards to stay relevant and competitive one has to spend $$$. Don’t get me wrong you can still play the game, but it’s not to keep up with the people who are willing to spend the money. My province is at later stage of the game and it’s almost impossible to join a competitive alliance unless you can prove you are willing to spend the money. In my case I didn’t and I became a punching bag for all these high level (big spender) players. Do not waste your time with this. All the game does is takes and never gives anything in return..Kuchinho94Version: 1.250.213

✓ MehI downloaded after seeing an ad and it looked really fun and interesting. Well after playing for a few minutes I realised that you have to do everything the game tells you. You can’t actually build on your own, create your own castle etc you do it how the game wants. Not what I thought, would have been a good game if I could have actually done it on my own!.KlbdotVersion: 1.250.229

✓ Don’t bother IBX will bully you and attack youDon’t bother downloading this game as there’s one group in all games like this who take over the game and ruin it by attacking everyone they can and not just once but several times in a few hours, always players just new to the game with hardly any resources so basically wipe them out( one of their cowards attacked me 4 times in 8 hours after my Shield came down and I wasn’t even online. They say anyone can apply to join their alliance but they never accept anyone unless they have high power levels but nobody can get high power when these cowards attack everyone and wipe them out. They do it in all these sort of games, I’ve seen them wipe out whole alliances. Developers do NOTHING to stop them then wonder why so many people stop playing these games, it’s because of the IBX BULLIES. Developers DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE COWARDS..HazelJ23Version: 2.0.3

✓ Needs improvementGame preview images got nothing to do with the game and apparently they are inspired from age of empires. Game functionality needs improvement like applying shields are not cumulative as if you apply 5 24h the net effect is only for a day and not for 5 days. Claim all rewards button works only for one tab..RealspiritualsVersion: 1.250.190

✓ What a bait and switchHow dare you use this video for another terrible game just make AOE you slimy people.Thewood420Version: 1.250.159

✓ Not real adsStop faking the ads saying this is age of empires when it’s not even close to it seen on YouTube and Facebook. Pretty bad when you have to pretend to be another game just for people to download it #garbagecompany’s.GodsthinktankVersion: 1.250.185

✓ Reply to pointlessI fully understand you and like you I got ransacked so many times that I’ve lost count. The difference between you and I is that I spent a bit to get to the 20’s but you are right it makes no difference cause in the end people that spend gets all the decent stuff while it takes longer for newbies to succeed. There are a lot of idiots that are displaying bully tactics and in some cases they taunt you. I’ve had more fun with Valor than this game. I’m even thinking of throwing in the game as it’s time consuming and a waste of money. Glad I gave up spending in this game!.MAXX HDDDDDDDDDVersion: 1.250.240

✓ This game is an absolute scam don’t do itApparently these developers don’t understand who pays their wages. The chat server is trash. Takes 10 minutes or more at times to join the server. I’m setting with full bars of 5g wide band and customer service suggestion is my connection is bad, or try joining over a vpn. It’s your problem fix it. Next day I have an issue with an in game feature. I let customer service know about it. Get a message about “off service hours and they will look into it asap.” 24 hours later still no response. If you play, don’t pay to play they do nothing to earn you support. You will be disappointed. Done paying You can spend your hard earned money on this game and the developers will take it away from you by deception in the effort to make you spend more. I understand offering something new to generate income. However these developers will just change game play without warning or communication to take advantage and take more money. They don’t even have enough initiative to change verbiage on their their event ads. If you try to submit a complaint you get nothing but platitudes and inaction. My recommendation is to stay away.BagoSticksVersion: 1.250.245

✓ Great game but expensive to progressI like the game but my interest is waning; to progress you need to spend quite a bit of money. When some packages are around £100, it's a lot for a game. I don’t like this sort of lure and whilst it’s perfectly legal, I don’t think it's ethical. There are those that would spend hundreds of not more. The game is updated regularly so does have a good development team behind it but I suspect a lot of money is still being made. Graphics are good and plenty of stuff going on in the game to help you to keep returning. It’s a shame I can not afford to go on..SJN070Version: 2.1.0

✓ Some serious bugs.I’ve played this game for some hours now and I have had so many bugs. I have times where the screen freezes and wouldn’t respond to anything. I’d reopen the game and it would work for a while longer before repeating. UNTIL i got an even worse one to where it would auto lock everything even after reopening. After that I deleted and reinstalled it, the same freezes would pop up but now it is trying to run through the start of the game for an unknown reason. It thinks my base is a starter base and won’t let me skip. The director that leads you to a quest you need to finish will not actually lead you to it. The game will say there is a button you need to push in a certain spot but there won’t be a button there and it will soft lock the game and make you open the app again. I’m using the new IPhone 12 pro max with this and don’t know if anyone else is having bad issues like I am. Besides these bugs not a bad game..CyclopsHRVersion: 1.250.187

✓ Played and now it’s stuckPlayed for a while but not the app is stuck on a grey screen and won’t let me progress any further. Help would be appreciated.DailykeanoVersion: 1.250.263

✓ Don’t bother with this gameIn honesty, the game has the potential to be good but there are far to many issues with it to spend your time on it. It definitely pay to win and the higher level you get, the more you have to pay. The game is designed to make you pay because playing for free definite won’t get you anywhere! There are also far to many glitches/bugs in the game that never seem to get fixed. Oh, and if you do have an issue with the game that requires you to contact their support, don’t bother! I’ve been waiting almost 2 months for my issue to be resolved because they still “looking into it”. For game that is designed to get your wallet out, at least have some form of decent service..SafferbroVersion: 1.250.155

✓ Pure P2WThis game already favours the huge spenders enough. However, today was the last straw. They came out with a 1 year anniversary event where a wings cosmetic which provides very powerful game buffs costs $10000 to unlock… ridiculous. Not to mention the other cash grabs like $1 for a avatar picture and $150 for VIP so you can unlock quality of life features..NinjaJawzVersion: 1.250.235

✓ Miss Sold by the developersThis might seem petty but I purchased the right to have a personal avatar. The image was approved , I changed it and everyone said they liked the one I had previously. This time it was rejected. Now here’s my issue. If it’s rejected just say so and give me the option to upload another after all I bought the permanent right. Furthermore if your going to deny it at least give some means of my being able to appeal. Over 48 hours later I still have not had the courtesy of a response. These guys take your money but don’t care afterwards. Also and very importantly they do not have moderators and permit some disgusting server chat. The age rating of this game seriously needs raising. THE DEVELOPERS LIE IN THEIR RESPONSE HERE ( Note age 12+ j.ManiacWobblesVersion: 1.250.239

✓ Wish I never started to playIn one state a whole alliance has decided to take over get rid of rules and attack hard working players. Horrible game. The idiot behind it is a 19 year old collage kid with his daddies credit card and he’s ruined the entire game now for that state..WhiskeyandryeVersion: 1.250.227

✓ Watch chargesAt its core, the game is great. Meet people internationally, strategy and team building, growing your kingdom, but like other reviews have said - to really enjoy the game you’ll need money and an alliance. Alliance for faster growth (and protection) but money for better prizes such as boosted skills with Castle skins, legendary heroes and such. Even that, I understand. However - I noticed the last three times I purchased something in-game for up to $10, I was actually charged twice. It’s hard to reach someone in-game for help, maybe it will happen with this. This game makes a TON of money with the number of players that are high-ranking so I know they’re paying… but why charge twice? I’m not getting twice the rewards, but my bank is definitely feeling twice the charges. That needs to be fixed asap..CMW017Version: 1.250.264

✓ Rise of EmpireBe careful with this game. It’s very misleading about charges of your credit card. They charge you without your consent and if you will get in a dispute transaction they do no have a live person to discuss with. You will have to leave a message and they will reply back in couple of days if you are lucky. Be aware. They do not cooperate at all after they are taking money from your card. Do not get this app!!!!!!!!! This app is special made to make you confused of their charges.!!!!! This is a real comment and I just want to warn all the people out there. In one day somehow they took around $700 unauthorized charges. I contacted them right away to refund the money. I stopped playing right away ones I have seen it in the apple account all the charges. They contacted me after couple of days and they were talking about everything else but my request of the refund. Ones they reply w a text they close the case. And you have to restart the case again until they will respond their own way and they close the case again. Be aware!!!!!!!!!!.Sergiu deacVersion: 1.250.190

✓ Can't play the game anymore on iPad 2Spoke to help many times, they don't get the concept that after playing for 2 years I can't anymore as of today as my device is not compatible. And no I'm not going to buy a new iPad to play the game. Shame and poor service by developers who only want income from the game. Update 18 August. I did raise the issue in game when I could load it. All responses were the same, without actually reading my problem. I cannot load the game now to play as my device is unsupported and don't have a different device before you state the obvious. Hopefully this message reaches out to all as you have no concept of customer service. If I was spending $1000 per month I bet you'd sort it in seconds..DanielobidanVersion: 1.250.244

✓ Reporting systemThe game has a reporting system for chat and convo. If your speaking in your province or state chat, a player can report your message and without review your banned from chat for min 24hrs. The translator is close but not perfect. Doesn’t allow curse words but still has a reporting system for convo. 2 stars for the brain cells that slammed together to program the chat.Jamesland7Version: 1.250.186

✓ A frustrating messy game to playDate of review January 2024. A very time consuming game to play. You have to build up everything precisely because all buildings in the castle are sequentially linked to each other at each castle level to develop and/or maintain progress. You choose where to place most of the buildings, for me that’s the messy part, in your castle. Marble quarries buildings need to be around the quarry. Different resources each have their own Storehouse. You have houses that build a population, you have Mint buildings to make gold to aide various upgrades and research at each castle level. You upgrade the Tavern to accommodate the housing population that you must continually supply with food and ale or the population will fall and everything will grind to a halt. This is a war game so expect to get attacked or use gems to buy shields. Join an alliance and donate 3000 per tap (25+ taps each day of much needed resources is a lot to lose) to alliance science to earn points to get 8 hour shields instead of spending a lot of gems for one although 8 hour shields now days are pathetically short so you need 24 hour, 3 days and 1 hour shields..WkdToriVersion: 2.16.0

✓ Pay to win game sadlyAs many people have already said it’s a pay to win type of game. Also in the kingdom I was in 406, the top 15 alliances had a no attack policy to stop people zeroing other peoples castles. I followed this rule as my alliance leader threatened by saying he would kick me out if I attacked anyone again so I stopped. Then when I wake up and log in the very alliance I was told not to attack has absolutely destroyed my castle and taken all my resources. I messaged my alliance leader no response ! This is completely breaking the rules and basically I was a farm or resource plot for other alliances. I spent money in game around £50 which I have struggled to get refunded because customer service on this game is non existent. Customer service I want my money refunded and then I will uninstall your rubbish money grabbing cheating game. Anyone who reads this do not download this game completely geared towards pay to win and even when you do pay you still lose 🤷🏻‍♂️.Chefbenny187Version: 1.250.193

✓ AngryI’ve been trying to find how to get in contact with the devs and nothing anyone know how too.JohnnysksVersion: 2.15.1

✓ Spending money, never stop.Without spend money hard to level up and some items will get only pay money.PapooaopVersion: 1.250.183

✓ Big bugThe game can be fun and allow you make friends while you work to be the best. Those countless hours one puts into the game can be wiped out in matter of days as the developers allows players from the old world, (states in the 200 range) with years of experience and building time to migrate to a newer state, 777, so they can pick on and destroy those of us still learning and growing. Most of the 777 players are level 25 and above and can by themselves have more power than my team of 100 combined. To make it worse, 777 is overcrowded. They are like a plague. Members of 777 have commented that they will kill everyone if they don’t comply. A handful of 777 players can wipe out an entire state. It would be like Christmas Island being invaded by the entire population of China. The only way to compete is to spend thousands of dollars to catch up or hide and hope the ROC ends without being noticed. Either the developers planned this state or it is a bug. It needs fixed or you will loose a lot of players like me, castles between 20 to 25..Disappointed!,!!!!!!Version: 1.250.257

✓ Absusive Members if Pay to play are left uncheckedI played this game during lockdown and it was a bit of fun. However there are some seriously racist and sexist comments in the province chat. Even when reported they go unchecked especially when they are against paid players. Again free players sometimes action is taken. When the developers claim they can’t see how any rules where broken, perhaps you might want to look at BLM and MeToo movements and then see if they have anything to say about the comments the developers say are acceptable.RufftVersion: 1.250.206

✓ Seemed good, lots of griefI was quite enjoying this game. Had not spent a cent, but had put in a lot of time over 3 days. Thought I was advancing well, then over night got raided about 15 times and lost all my resources (one person raided me 4 times), all troops wounded, can’t heal them all or upgrade the tower because I’m out of coins. Is there even any point getting resources and waiting to upgrade defences if I can lose everything while I’m asleep. No idea what needs to be improved to be better defended..David K ClarkVersion: 1.250.191

✓ TutorialHelp. I’ve been stuck on the damn tutorial for 3 days with no skip option or even any music….Kuma Chu00Version: 2.4.1

✓ Misleading imagesMost of the images aren’t real in the game and you never find those views..Jay$!$321Version: 1.250.235

✓ Report via App StoreIt’s a lot of work, but you can scroll to the bottom and ‘report a problem’ and report the app as a scam for false advertising through the apple website. It requires your time and dedication to sign in (likely with 2 factor login) and try and get scammy games like this removed from the App Store 😞.JustinKyleEvanOrrVersion: 1.250.263

✓ Misleading advertisementsIf your game is as good as you claim at least use gameplay from it rather than using an actual good game like age of empires. Not impressed! 1/5 for extreme deception. Using deception by using good games to try get people to play and hopefully spend money on this..Does New Zealand ExistVersion: 1.250.162

✓ SHOCKING Developer Support. Definitely Pay-to-Win!Unresolved Season Rewards issue after 4 cases & a month waiting. Have explained very clearly each time, support has not once come close to understanding the issue. Previous support attempts over 3 years have had the same outcomes. Definitely pay-to-win…many players spend tens of thousands…lazy with maxed everything. They monitor news for targets during Kill Events and jump every single hit within seconds…resulting in enormous & expensive losses even for very strong, non PTW castles. They also threaten and manipulate all other players to submit to their pre-determined rankings & rewards every Reign of Chaos season. This is standard & makes the extended season pointless, developers may as well just ask the controlling players for a rankings list so they can distribute rewards immediately and skip the abuse. Not suitable for children due to toxic & inappropriate players in chats, some states are much worse than others. Edit: I come from an old state & know this game very, very well…your ‘hints’ in action will NEVER measure up against the overwhelming PTW nature of this ‘free’ game. I have been both r5 & r4 many times and understand the politics so well I refuse the roles every time I am asked. And no, your in game support team responses are about as pre-written & useful as this one..~:glamgirl:~Version: 1.250.232

✓ Kicks outThis game keeps kicking me out at every thing I do. I touch a deer and it kicks me out. One star..FrayomayoVersion: 2.8.0

✓ Bad experience everThe game look nice and photo and video… but all is fake… you wanna need to spend 500 each month After you download the game you wanna loose more time for nothing , if you have problem customer service answer late and they are arrogant if you don’t spend money They change the rules games over night You play some war game against other state but they always put strong and spender in 1 part and non spender in other part just to give spender more reward, Devs of this game also favour certain of player I am happy to say I quit this game and more time For family and real life.Pleata18Version: 2.13.1

✓ Many glitches non existent serviceThe concept of the game is quite good but there are so many glitches. When you try to get service and open a ticket first of all it takes them some time to reply. Second, they only look at half of the problem and don’t review the whole problem and just come back like oh we looked at it and you’re wrong. So they refuse to deal with any glitch or bug to make the game better. Then the ticket shows five stars and they ask for a view of their service, however you are only allowed to give them five stars. It will not allow you to give them less than five stars. And report that bug you have to start all over again so if you want to spend all of your time reporting bugs and getting frustrated instead of playing the game then this is a perfect game for you. But the company behind this game has no intention of dealing with the bugs or problems and for that reason it is a 100% waste of time. I would not recommend it to anyone.MagoopyVersion: 1.250.254

✓ It glitched out☹️.الاربزبرثاVersion: 1.250.223

✓ Supposed AoE reboot for iPhoneThis game is advertised as being some recreation of the classic PC game Age of Empires with similar graphics to the AoE II games. This advertising is completely and 100% false so I would not recommend this game to keen AoE fans. Overall a decent settlement construction game however the game needs to explain more things especially for beginners. Also the system with attacking various levels of raiders on the map is confusing. In addition the whole system with the troops and increasing/decreasing the troops with the scroll bar isn’t very clearly defined as you can get more troops with one army camp but that army maybe still be weaker than one which seems to have fewer and/or weaker troops than it so some major changes/improvements needed in this area. If you are a true AoE fan I would personally stick with PC gaming as this is not an accurate comparison and the two games (RoE and AoE) have a lot more differences than similarities. If “Rise of Empires” really wants to be like the classic Age of Empires 2 PC game/s then some major changes need to be made. I rate this game a 4/10 Good luck and enjoy what you can. 👍.MusicMapper47Version: 1.250.186

✓ Beware: Pay to Win gameTo put it simply, you can win as a team, but you will always be outperformed and left behind by those spenders or Super Spenders! You can play it easy and not spending, but after a while you'll get bored. A LOT of players has quit the game already. Dev always found a way to make you spend or you will be just like a 'Farm' to those who spent! Some in-game events was also costing like A LOT of money's with no guarantee you'll get the final Reward. I give up! gonna find another game worth my time!.255andieVersion: 2.5.0

✓ HmmGame is good however you can not delete your account to start again on another server. Can become overwhelming with all the events.SaltsDizVersion: 1.250.204

✓ Good concept but !!Been playing this for a while now but it has turned into a pay to play game. Unless you spend 3 to 4 hrs a day carrying out all the silly challenges which are not explained how they work forget it. Characters required to expand or aid resource collection have to be bought. If you have plenty of time and money on your hands then this is the game for you, if not try something else. I have to log on every single day otherwise you become a lone player and constantly attacked, this loses all your resources which take weeks to accumulate. It’s over complicated and takes too long!.FinkymonkeyVersion: 1.250.260

✓ Ios bug again!!!Second time I’ve been locked out of my account.... and this time just before Svs KE 😓😓 not only have I not been able too help my fellow state players I was also unable too shield.... I’m very disappointed in this bug that has happened before... please devs fix this ASAP as my fellow state players need me 😭😭 great game but things like this can’t be compensated.... it has affected the end result of the event.....NhdtyfgVersion: 1.250.189

✓ Another Pay to win gameMust admit it’s a very well thought out game, it is fun, until you get attacked but players much higher than you, the game is definitely designed to encourage you buy diamonds, which are used to buy all sorts of things in-game, very much a micro transaction based game..Aidan.vVersion: 1.250.150

✓ Not as advertisedI downloaded this game, because the different advertisements I’ve seen has looked good, and reminded me of a game I played long ago called Age of Empires. The videos was exactly the same. Yet I downloaded the game and it’s nothing like the videos I saw. I spent some time playing it, thinking maybe I get options later. But no, it’s just another war game..Ninapeanut1234Version: 1.250.218

✓ $$$$$Rise of Empires is gradually turning more and more into a pay-to-win game. Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend each month, you won’t be strong. Every week something new is required to be competitive. The developers’ greed is ruining the game for me and many other players who have supported the game for a long time. If the developers don't make changes to help the free to play or small spenders, the game will soon be dead. This is a warning for the developers: many players are quitting or will soon quit this game because of your greed..Kelsey4AnimalsVersion: 1.250.250

✓ Game purchase buggedThe game was okay until one purchase it double charges me in one transaction within one minute, got charged for items never ordered or received. The in game support is virtually nonexistent. They seem to only care about taking your money and not to resolve problems people have with their in game purchase. Bad customer service and will warn others to be extremely careful with this game developer. The developer handle the game payment dispute, simply indebt your castle by putting it into negative 50,000 gems, literally killing your castle as you have no gems to shield yourself. Either you buy gem packages which will cost you over few hundred dollars in order to clear this gem debt they put on your castle or quit the game..Kesteey123Version: 1.250.188

✓ BadVery bad experience..SphodelVersion: 1.250.227

✓ InterestingWill need to see how it develops. Somewhat different to all the same same ‘strategy game’ rubbish out there.Demon BotisVersion: 1.250.136

✓ Misleading AdvertismentsI saw an ad on YouTube for this game that was entirely different from what the game actually is..YuugukVersion: 1.250.171

✓ MisrepresentationFor those wondering about the advertisements for this app - IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE OF EMPIRES. They use the pictures from AOE, and make out as if this is the modern day version. It’s not. What a misrepresentation. This game is nothing more than a “pay to proceed” game where you have to collect gems and wait for days for things to “build”. Garbage new world games. Honestly, I’m surprised this is even allowed..Richyp10Version: 1.250.173

✓ Service is terribleGreat game but terrible service, a lot of false and misleading advertising, when you in game purchasing you feel ripped off..Mark GolinVersion: 1.250.227

✓ False advertisement and boringThat game is the same as so many games of this type but what attracted me to this game is the advertisement showed it was the same as “age of empire” from the computer but better, I played age of empire when it came out all those years ago it’s nothing like it if any thing age if empire is better and that came out in the 90s early 2000s but you actually control everything with age of empire like formations of your troops, how to attack etc and you can’t do anything like that with this game !!! All you do is click on somewhere the troops take ages getting these 5-10 seconds later they walk back it’s boring not worth wasting your time over.Shiney015Version: 1.250.188

✓ The game creators are liarsThe images shown and the actual game is completely different. This is a money grabbing garbage. Stay away.Johndon333Version: 1.250.244

✓ Double charge for packagesDon’t trust this company they double charge for single packages it is now run by an AI make complaint and it just closes the ticket and than you can not make another complaint or new issue. There are no people that you can resolve an issue with and they also do not allow you to delete the game or your account. They are totally untrustworthy. If replying to this only do so in English..Roadtoad12Version: 2.17.2

✓ NOT FOR KIDSI’ve been playing this game for about two months now an I’ve been very disgusted in some of the language and things that I’ve seen most of all how everyone can pick on a little kid I hope his okay then we’re making him feel like he should take his own life I think this game should be banned for one an two the person who created this game I’m very disgusted in you and how you didn’t use any profanity or any stopping of any aggressive language thank u but I’ll be removing your app as it is disgusting with what I’ve seen good day to u.KillgergreatwhiteVersion: 1.250.201

✓ Engaging at first but pushed to spendI’m editing this as I’m playing other games where this is advertised and it’s 100% false advertising. So are the images on the app store. The images make it seem like classic Age of Empires and it’s nothing like it. I’m a big fan of building up civilizations to a great level, prepared for battle however, once I reached around level 13/14, I plateaued. The main reason for this was that everything was costing lots of certain resources which took much longer to create than other resources that were barely needed. That would be a good challenge but in addition to that, I started to get hammered by opponents who would loot my town 2-3 times a day, stripping my resources and causing me to spend the rest healing my troops. Fair play, but the only way to improve my defence was to upgrade some buildings which cost an extraordinary amount of gems, which cost a good chunk of real money. As I got further up the levels I lost motivation as I felt I was being pushed to buy more and more. No amount of patience helped in end as I wasn’t developing..RincksVersion: 1.250.218

✓ Scam gameDo not play this game. The developers will not respond to you except in a standard reply for all problems in game. They never fix any problems that happens because of their updates or game glitches. If you ask Apple or Google for refunds due to the gaming company errors and faults, the developers take away items you paid for. They do not reconcile any issues unless you are of Chinese descent. They support players that bully and harass actual paying players. The events are never fair, recent events have had whole states locked from the events which everyone plays for to earn rewards, while the developer backed states continue to destroy any progress you may have made in said events. This has happened to me one the last 3 ROC events. The state I was in was not able to play and due to state 6, have lost huge rewards for playing events and never compensated by the developers when it is their fault. 200 players from different parts of the world can’t have the same network issue unless it is controlled by the servers for the developers..Jimbo01756Version: 1.250.169

✓ Wast of time and moneyThere is that many pop ups for different payments it’s unavailable to not end up clicking on one. I got a refund on one such mistake and the have band me. Wow what a s@&t response, you just want me to start again and put hours of my time into a game you banned me from because I got a refund on the wrong thing I bought. You can stuff your game. It’s nothing more than another pay to win game. You can’t play the game without paying as your never strong enough to beat anyone. The more s@&t you talk the more stupid you are..Jobaly1596Version: 1.250.232

✓ BILLINGI purchase 3 things that doesnt even exceed an amount of 20$ on the game. But on my bank statement it deducted $54.47. want a proof?.IrokotvVersion: 2.16.0

✓ Not pay to win BUTWhilst it is not pay to win, it most definitely is pay to be competitive, have played fully for 4 weeks and still only have one orange hero, no chance to be competitive when you run into folks who have 3 in each legion. And the idea of matching our province against a province that has been around months longer, talk about carpet bombed, last straw, no chance whatsoever, pro league versus kids, no fun to get everyone smashed with no one even getting a look in..WildewombatVersion: 1.250.152

✓ Problem ResolutionIt’s sad the developers can’t or won’t solve problems. The developers have a terrible reputation and are in fact accused of cheating or scamming people to gain more money from the players. Many are leaving because of this. My recommendation is to start solving problems. Second is to change your policy on the notion of “random” in recruiting and the unfairness in the “luck.” We have taken notes and shared information. No way 93 out of 100 cases, the “luck” issues a gold X level hero in the 900+ range. 1 out Of 1000 cases a hero is issued under 100 luck. This is 100% programmed. So the notion is a lie. We share your responses in line app and discord. Personally, I have had 0 problems solved in 2 years from the developers. Excuses and more diversions and lies is what you provide. I have many open cases and have provided information you’ve requested and in many cases, provided the information 3-5 times. ZERO results. Again, recommendations from Mr is for you to start getting results and no excuses. Your slow responses are another matter. We don’t want your excuses about delays in responses..AkmaniakVersion: 1.250.184

✓ Money pitTerrible ethics from developers, every component to game requires 10’s of thousands of $ to be somewhat competitive. Game has constant issues that we don’t get compensated for. Customer service has terrible responses. Some events actually impossible to complete if you don’t have prior items saved. Some equipment even takes 20+ years to make if you’re a free player. Complete non-sense. Today our season is ruined almost no one can join guilds for first 24 hours because game glitches…. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME..GbartzyVersion: 1.250.250

✓ Pay to winI’ve been playing this game for almost a year now. I have met some awesome people from all over the world and it has been a lot of fun playing with these people and it’s what has me still playing now. If it wasn’t for the community I would have stopped long ago. It is a good game if you find the right state to play in. I spent a little money as I like to support free games I like. But, it is very clear that the developers cater only to players who spend money. Dragon gear for instance will take me almost 6 months to make 1/6 pieces. But people can spend $1700 and get the full set just like that. T10 is only attainable by spending money and the best heroes are only useable if you spend money. I collected fragments to make a hero to only find that I am not able to use him because I don’t spend $25 a month for royal Privilege, which was really upsetting. If your looking to pay to be good this is the game for you! If your an old school gamer like me who likes to grind this is NOT the game for you because players with money will crush you like a bug..BudpowerVersion: 1.250.221

✓ They don’t careI’ve tried contacting customer service before and they blow you off and give you a super quick generic answer, EVERY TIME and even with every response with bad reviews that have been given, just look I did. And they say “thanks hope that helps bye!” It’s like you didn’t even bother to talk to me or find out any details. You are the worst kind of company and people that do things like that. With players that cheat and genuinely abuse the system but they don’t care. You clearly don’t care about your players and with actual concerns from the game and I bring it to their attention but it doesn’t matter to them, as long as they are still making their money from it. And they probably won’t care what I have to say because I didn’t spend money on it. So thanks for that. They won’t actually reach out to me or about this to try and resolve anything. And there’s not hardly anything on their website. It’s in finished and very in professional. It seems sketchy and I’m getting away from this game and this company. I would hope you would too..Brussell2117Version: 2.17.2

✓ Poor customer serviceI Played this game for a year and a half. I can’t deny I had fun playing it, but my experience with customer service led me to abandon my accounts. I was a moderate spender with a top account in my state. The developers clearly don’t care about anyone or anything other than making a dollar today. They only are there to squeeze every penny they can out of you until you quit. After spending a lot of money on a purchase it failed to open due to what I could only assume was a glitch. Their customer service was useless. Do not download if you want to play for free, while you can get through most of the roc seasons without spending once eden starts and lofty and raider research opens (not to mention dragon gear) you won’t keep up at all. They can claim a free player can survive, but you can never be at the top and players like me will crush you, but don’t worry someone who spent many thousands of dollars will smash me just like I smashed you 🤣. Go play something else it’s what I did..Howareya34Version: 1.250.233

✓ MisogynisticPlayers who call female avatars derogatory names because they’re upset. Reported this and I was muted..1Northerngal1Version: 1.250.270

✓ Fall from GraceI have played this game for 3 years now. When I first started, it was exciting, simple, yet pushed you to learn more and more about the game. To keep the point short…the devs have completely taken the game where literally anyone could play (meaning those free to play players) to fast forward to today where unless you are a super spenders or moderate splender, you literally have no chance to compete in this game. I am a moderate spender. but very frustrated with this game. Now it’s constant crap activities that literally have no connection to the game, constant new skins coming out weekly, no hero’s constantly when I haven’t even completed some hero’s from 2 years ago yet because they have flooded with so many hero’s, it takes months or years to complete hero’s by coins. The devs are greedy and absolutely horrible to deal with. They never resolve any game issues that you discuss with them. Frankly, I am not sure why I’m still playing and I sure as heck would tell the me from 3 years ago to not even download the game. Go spend your time and money on other things besides this game..*FREE*Version: 1.250.265

✓ Not as advertised.They basically just took the graphics to an amazing game, and applied them to a washed out and clumsily designed variation of a city building survival game..Ratgirl34Version: 1.250.250

✓ Rise of empiresThis WAS a good game to relieve the boredom during those long commutes. However, if you want to compete, expect to spend money - or at the very least, prepare to be married to your device 24/7 to gain ftp bonuses to upgrade your castles. Furthermore, if you want to remain ftp and upgrade to the newly added level 30 castles and buildings as well as the new dragon levels, then prepare to be committed to the game for the next 20 years as the exorbitant levels of resources needed to upgrade to these new levels will take you that long as ftp to accumulate those resources if you’re lucky. A good game ruined (as usual) by the greed of the developers. (Take me back to the good old days of buying a game and seeing it through). This is just robbery..Majerie KingVersion: 1.250.253

✓ ScamThere is no way this game should be allowed for anyone under 18. You need to tie the account to a charge card and the chinese game company has designed its game to get you to spend money. Furthermore, NO adult should let there child play this game unless they want to go into debt. Apple should be ashamed of itself allowing this game to be promoted and not fulling looking into the unscrupulous practices. Not recommended: unless you think this is a great way to send $ to chinese communists..Joseph30511Version: 1.250.193

✓ Good game SHOCKING customer serviceI’ve been playing this for a while now, it’s good game, you can progress quite far without in game purchases. There is a couple of times now where game bugs have happened and I’ve lost stuff. I’ve contacted customer support on all times and they really fight tooth and nail not to give you back what you’ve lost. The most recent for me was 7 teleports brought with diamonds. Once they said you spent them, when I know I didn’t, this review was the only way to try and help others. So I say again ..... SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE.Mo2kVersion: 1.250.171

✓ Developers continue to mess upYou will notice that the developers have a copy and paste response for all reviews they have responded to…in a nut shell how they treat players, with disdain and emoji prayers. If you ever request a refund not directly through the game, they freeze your account and give you negative credit you have to work off/buy through in-game packs. met some friends I’ve been playing with for 4 years now. Unfortunately the developers care about money to the detriment of the game, the matchmaking and glitches in the latest Eden unbalanced the whole event and has really limited enjoyment for all. It’s a shame as it could be 5stars if they would prioritise checking for fundamental errors and thinking about what they are doing over rushing out new updates for the purpose of lining their bank account. Greedy gimps. To continue following the ‘developers’ response… I don’t care about the spending that’s something you can do if you want. The problem is they don’t care or understand the people are genuinely aggrieved that the game values rushing out events before they are tested. In the last month at least 3 events have been amended, postponed or rerun because of glitches. When gamers are spending days of their life playing this the least they should expect is a solid event. Unfortunately not. Part 3 I have left the game..Laurie1983000000000Version: 2.7.1

✓ No regulationThe game in general is good however, there is no restriction on how players act towards others. It feels as though the developers only care about the money coming in instead of the racist derogatory comments that are made by players. We have players making threats to families, racist remarks etc yet their accounts are still active. I would post pictures if if could but can’t in this review. Those accounts need to be banned permanently but because they spend money it’s “ok”. Once the developers get a grip on that it would be a much better experience Response from developer “ "Dear players: I'm very sorry to give you a bad experience. If you find any illegal remarks in the game, you can click the dialogue to report it, or contact us directly in the game (click the billboard next to the base, click customer service help), provide a detailed description of the problem, and related screenshots. We will verify the reported person, and once found to have violated the rules, we will impose penalties. Of course, our game rules are fair to every player. Thank you for your comment and have a nice game." The issue is that we (meaning numerous players) have reported such behavior yet it still goes without consequences. If I could post images of the hate and disgraceful messages we receive i would. If you do not address this then maybe we should goto Apple directly to remove the app all together.Bade perienceVersion: 1.250.229

✓ Good game but a money oriented companyI have been playing this game for many months, but almost on a daily basis everything is changing to the extent that it is obvious that the only thing this company is interested in is money. Don't get me wrong, obviously they must earn money to pay the developers, but they are so greedy, I have decided to give this up, if they had their way it would cost hundreds of pounds each week just to play this game. Today you added the straw that broke the camels back, so I am out of here, and I recommend others to do the same. 10 out of 10 fir money grabbing effirts, 0 out of 10 for fair play to users..John0591Version: 1.250.245

✓ Good game but…..Been playing this game for about 5 months under two different accounts. Now I’ve got to the point where buildings take 1-2-3 days to upgrade and the cost of each material to build is becoming extortionate. Like 30,000,000 lumber to upgrade the storage to upgrade the food to 30,000,000 to upgrade the castle?? C’mon! Do I have to pump in £30-£40 each week just to get a head in the game so I can win a battle or two?? It’s getting ridiculous with the price of each material needed because although I’m able to station someone to the quarry, mint and farm etc…I cannot for iron and lumber…they just want more money so you can go further into the game. If this isn’t rectified I’m gonna be finding another game which I can play for less money without the gameplay….id rather on that than spend on this just to up the level of the castle by 1. Not a happy chappy here.Beatlemaniac1963Version: 2.3.2

✓ Too complicatedThere’s just too much going on in this game. It isn’t well explained so it’s very confusing. I played it a lot for a few days thinking if I kept playing it, it would make more sense. Unfortunately I just got more confused and was aimlessly updating buildings that I had no idea what their purpose was. I didn’t know what the heros thing is all about - that’s not explained - so I had heros but didn’t know what was good and what to do with them. So I was spending a lot of time not having a clue what was going on. I guess if you spend the time researching how it all works online then maybe it would make sense and be enjoyable but I just found it way too complicated. It’s also nothing like the adverts they use to lure you in..JewleyarVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Great at first…then comes the nonsenseWhen you first start playing the game you enjoy building your castle and collecting your resources. As you get settled in the game you will start getting attacked by kingdoms, most of which are significantly more powerful than yourself. They will repeatedly raid you kingdom, injure or kill your soldiers, and you end up spending all of your resources and stock just trying to stay afloat. The only way to compete against these other, much more powerful kingdoms is to spend 100’s of dollars and that is not an exaggeration. I was being attacked and raided every day by the same kingdoms and there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t collect enough resources to advance my kingdom or soldiers. There really needs to be restrictions on the level of Kingdoms you are allowed to attack and raid. There needs to be kingdom class score ranges, weight classes essentially, that prohibits extremely advanced kingdoms from harassing the weaker kingdoms. The game would actually be more fun if I knew I could actually defend myself from other kingdoms..Eegarner92Version: 1.250.245

✓ Decent game but needs some issues fixedIt’s a good game. I’ve spent a fair amount of hours over the last few weeks playing it. I enjoy it fairly well for someone who loved Age of Empires as a kid and now adult. The cons: you get dropped in a “state” in the game with a bunch of people who don’t speak the same language as you so all the alliance messages are in another language and you have no idea what’s going on. You can move to another state if you’re under a level 6 but most of the time you don’t find out about that option until you’re already past that level. It would be super helpful to remove that level 6 rule. Let us move to whatever state or province we want, but maybe only allow it once or have to pay gems or $1.99 to do it, something! I play this game with my husband but we are in different states in the game and can’t rally or anything together. It would also be helpful to be able to have friends in this game, you could send gifts or supplies to..Jessica 719Version: 1.250.159

✓ Scam - you will spend good money to find out glitches will cost you a lot more!Basically I have been enjoying this game, spend a good couple hundred upgrading my account, went on vacation and turned on a 3day shield, I doubled checked to make sure it was activated ( which it was 100%) and due to a glitch it did not get activated but showed as active on my account, I was then attacked multiple times losing a lot that I spent good money on - absolutely ridiculous .. also customer support is extremely difficult to contact - I highly recommend stay away from this game.Adamkay1737Version: 1.250.222

✓ ReviewThe game is fun but I deleted it after a few hours of playing and not having free will to do as I please I understand a tutorial but this is just bad not building my own settlement if I have to place buildings and do missions at your rate and not mine.Aircraftnut15Version: 1.250.229

✓ Not Age if Empires…This isn’t what the game advertises. It’s pointless. I haven’t paid any money to buy gems but it seems like a cash cow for the developers..Titsmcgee_stolfieldVersion: 1.250.235

✓ So disappointedThey have the worst customer service I spent thousands of dollar in that game A bug occurs, making me lose lots of items, they don’t do anything about it and play dumb. They leave the chat and don’t solve anything. I’ll never buy any pack from them again and I don’t suggest to do it. They clearly don’t respect their clients.Chance_Jenn33Version: 1.250.223

✓ They will take your money and delete your accounts..I started playing in a state with several of my friends. I have spent more money than I care to admit and I and ready to call the credit company and demand a refund. Chinese markets pay a small fraction of the price for the same packages in their store, they have a huge advantage. The game has already taken over 2 dozen accounts from good friends of mine for “suspicion of using a bot” they are all real people I assure you, people that have now lost accounts. Some of which were paid for. I will not spend another dollar in this game. I will be looking into a refund. They promise a fair and balanced playin environment. It’s anything but that. If I can’t play on the map with my friends what is the point of my investment?? And I can’t move my account now? The developers need start with fixing the prices to make them equal for every country. They can also add the odds of getting certain items to their paid packages. They do not show odds and 9/10 you will not get the hero’s you paid for if you buy super recruit tickets. I would greatly appreciate a few hundred tickets and a couple hundred thousand gems. With the amount I have paid into this they could at least do that. They have already driven my friends out of the game. They are about to lose everyone in state 204z.BrettJ1986Version: 1.250.182

✓ Given up?!!!I spent a little money (unwillingly) at the beginning having realised builders were important for both building and collecting resources to aid progress, however I’ve now been stuck on level 18 for a considerable amount of time, basically you have to spend all your time maintaining a constant shield, otherwise you are wiped out by higher ranking players, and then spend a week trying to replace all the resources you lost, with no hope of making much more than small steps forward elsewhere in the game, if you don’t spend (which is constantly pushed at you) you vertically grind to a halt, I tried, but I think I’ve given up..CdnugnkkddegbbzjkkjVersion: 1.250.237

✓ Need to improveI like this game but something need to improve especially the login. So many times I accidentally clicked “start a new game” when I was switching between my account and once you clicked it you have to waste 10 mins to went thought the whole tutorial again before you can switch you account again. Also my bf and I share an iPad, we both have accounts in the same device... if I forget to log off my game before I left... my bf would need my password to switch to his account, vice versa... can’t you just have a menu screen that you can select which account you want to login when you start the app?.MySimone1120Version: 1.250.193

✓ Introductory TutorialThis is one of the longest and most pointless introductory tutorials I’ve ever seen. You can’t fast forward or skip. Every task takes super long to get through because of the animation. And you can do barely anything other than the task it’s trying to force you to do. I want to delete the game already and I haven’t even gotten to the point where I’ve started playing..JustKittenXOVersion: 1.250.177

✓ Minus zero stars!! Shame on you!!!I just downloaded your game, looks like fun. While I was waiting for it to download, I saw another ad for your game. After watching your ad, I immediately deleted your game and I’m leaving a review for others to see. Your ad disgusted me beyond words. What kind of people are you?!!! You have no respect for others, that’s clear. You people have a platform to reach the young and teach them to respect themselves and others. You could teach them to be compassionate, caring, responsible, kind and so many other positive traits. You could teach them to be strong and self confident, about bullying and boundaries. You have such a great opportunity to do the right thing for our youth, and you not only throw away the opportunity but you teach them how to disrespect others!!! What disgusting people you are! All of connected to this game. I play a lot of games, I’m disabled and home most of the time, so I play games to fill up my day and even have fun playing many of the games. I was shocked to see your ad, and I’m going talk about it on all my platforms. Shame on you!! Any of you that have children should be so ashamed, but all of you that work in this company share the responsibility and consequences that come from teaching children disrespect and hatred. Shame on every one of you!!!.CeeceeleaVersion: 2.17.1

✓ Money scamDevs play in the states with maxed season hero’s, making it impossible to compete. Constantly asking for money, jacking the prices to unattainable figures. Algorithms are trash and don’t play in your favour, ever, forcing you to spend money on scrolls for hero’s to be able to play and compete. The events are a joke and just another money grab. Their customer service is ignorant and arrogant. Automated responses showing little care for your concerns after waiting for what feels like an eternity for an answer..OpheliamotherVersion: 1.250.169

✓ Good game but they will cheat youI play rise of the empire and your game is fun to play but y’all ripping ppl off because I paid $20 dollars to get to level 25 easily but nope didn’t get nothing. I tried to reach customer service but it was in this language I don’t understand it was nothing but symbols. So I send the message anyways and I waited two weeks with no reply at all to it. So I ask apple to refund me my money cause I paid for the level 25 and never got it. So apple agreed to return me my money. Then a few days later they took away all my diamonds and minus me 120,000 diamonds and mind you I have a subscription that I paid for to get diamonds everyday. Plus they minus me a whole bunch of other stuff which lead me not to be able to protect myself in the game from attacks. Plus you know they took away the complaint thing where u can go and talk to customer service and I couldn’t even reply to their messages. So this game u have is a complete scam. Cordially yours, Leonard Cadet.THAT954BOYVersion: 1.250.186

✓ KnockoffWith the amount of time you guys spend on making video footage to look like age of empires, you could have actually made a good age 2 replica by now. 0AD has done an amazing job. So many ads popping up with age 2 footage. I’d actually buy the game if it actually played the way you guys advertise it. But instead you lot are releasing a junk food version of a game that exist under millions of different names built on the same “purchase diamonds” game engine under a different skin. They all use the same tactic of showing age 2 footage, but end up a completely different game play. I don’t actually know anyone that played this game and millions of versions of this game longer than 5 minutes..BalitskyVersion: 1.250.229

✓ Was fun but developers destroy what you work forThe game was extremely enjoyable and fun until this weekend. You’ll put in hours and hours of time building your castle and characters. You’ll even spend money in game. Then this weekend the developers decided it would be a good idea to put a “State Vs. State” game play which I was excited for. I spent a month building up my castle with what I thought was a strong alliance. The other state invaded and destroyed the state I was in in about 1 hour. No chance. Days of resources lost and 30 days of building solders gone. Here’s how. Apprantly, some people spend thousands of dollars on this game. I had a pretty powerful castle and power rank of nearly 2 million. Out of hundreds of players in my state, the top player had 15 million power. The the developers matched us with a state that had a dozen players with 32 million power. There is no chance to survive. They have dragons that knock down your shields and then they rob you of dozens of hours of work in resources and wipe out a month of armed forces that you built up. Clearly the developers threw us to the wolves and erased dozens of hours of hard work for 100s of players. After a month of fun and some money spent I’ll be uninstalling the game I came to enjoy. If you are a new player, avoid the game - you’ll just be disappointed in the end..MikeSilviaVersion: 1.250.233

✓ Horrible help supportAny game is supposed to bring pleasure, but not this one. It's made only to take money from you, and even if you pay, you won't enjoy the game anyway. Developers don't care about players at all, although they bring them a lot of money. The development in the game depends on the money invested in it, but in different regions prices vary significantly, this is normal, so it should be, but the problem is that the game is not divided regionally. There were about 300 people from different countries in our state, all of them played at the same level and everyone had fun. But three players came and just in a month destroyed what 300 people were building for 8 months, spending a lot of money and time. These players came from the Asian region, where prices differ significantly, respectively, and the level of their strength differs significantly and nothing can be opposed to them. Game restrictions allow them to do it, and nobody care that’s totally not fair. Players with different prices can’t mix in the same game zone. 100 people from the state have already abandoned the game, thereby losing all the money that was invested. And the rest will quit the game in the near future. A lot of requests were sent to developers, help zero. They just don't care about 300 of their customers who brought them a constant income..Ihar85Version: 2.0.1

✓ DONT PLAY! DONT PAY. THEY STEAL MONEYI made a purchase and didn’t get access to all the items I purchased. So I applied for a refund which I was given. The refund was applied for 2/3 days after the original purchase. Now I learn the purchase was for stuff that would be given each day but they said they already gave it to me (they haven’t) so what they did is give me a negative balance for my diamonds of -119k diamonds. They claim this is to make up for the loss in the refund. The refund was £22. The value of -119k diamonds is £535!!!! Using diamonds is vital in the game to purchase items and speed up progress. In order for me to be able to play the game I now need to spend £535 to get a 0 diamond balance. So to be clear I got a refund for items that were not given to me for a value of £22 but the game has set me back and effectively asked for £535 as compensation for this?!? Pathetic. To top it all off I tried to log in now and it says my account is banned for “illegal payment cheating serious violation” funny how they accusing me of cheating when they charge for items and don’t give them to you and then give you a negative balance to the value of £535 for an item that cost £22. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!! I’m raising it with Apple.TyciLondonVersion: 1.250.262

✓ Glitchy and Errors in gameSince a bought a pack and reign of choas started the game has become so glitchy and error ridden The game is now near enough impossible to play due to in game issues -Hero icons becoming question marks ? -When forging materials the icons becomes a blank square Items in my bag are half Question marks. U able to you COP boosts to get bigger chests (prizes) I thought the game had promise until i feel I’ve been ripped off since the game is now unplayable until a new update goes out for Apple users It not just one device or account I use. 4 accounts and 3 different devices - all Apple have the same issue I hope someone in the software team reads this! And corrects this quickly. This has continued into ROC2 !! Still issues with backpack icons on my iPad - all I see is question marks ! And now can not build for ROC2 ! I wish I could say you fixed the issue - well you did but then the other areas now have glitch’s ! - can not craft anymore - all I see is the download box across screen - can’t see items in my backpack - all I see if ? Icons !.13579mdmdmdVersion: 1.250.220

✓ Developers blackmail youI love the game and the people I have met, however the company is only interested in money and has no integrity at all. They get you to buy packages on the promise of receiving resources in return. I did not get what was promised so I got a refund. What happened then is the reach into your game and take a LOT more than what you purchased. Then to get that back you have to buy the pack again. It’s extortion and it’s under handed. Support is terrible and takes days to get a response and then they don’t answer you. Players have even been locked out of the game for daring to question the billing. Don’t start the game unless you are willing to pay a fortune and risk being ripped off..Megang351Version: 1.250.199

✓ Be warned it’s obsessive, but with greedy devsThe game is not what the adverts portray. It’s an intense strategy game, that many pay to win, because the developers encourage you to constantly spend money to advance your castle. This spoils the game. The developers also have no concept of western consumer law, so don’t expect satisfaction from complaints. That said the games complexity is captivating. Please note it’s a state vs state strategy game, not, as many seems to believe a short-term war game. Do your homework if you want to be successful( or spend huge amounts of money)..JackR44Version: 1.250.262

✓ BuggyFor the second time in a week I cannot login. There is no way to actually talk to developers. I have put money in to this game but will not again..GinaW13Version: 1.250.186

✓ Complete scamDon’t get sucked into giving this game money. They don’t give you what you pay for and don’t respond to requests for refunds. The in game customer service is a joke. No one ever replies..Nothappy967Version: 1.250.236

✓ SucksIf enjoy playing for others to benefit from your hard work or have lots of miney this is the game for you, other than has potential but i get the same high level ppl attacking me non-stop to point no chamce of doing anything else except support those that attack waste of time.Sore cocVersion: 1.250.230

✓ Misleading marketing and disappointingMarketed as being the updated awesome PC game “Age Of Empires”. I was very hopeful that something would be as great as that classic game. Unfortunately this game is nothing like the original. Just another version of what’s already out there, boring gameplay, rock the boxes, spend some money to actually get anywhere but with a dragon... still waiting for someone to rerelease that amazing classic game. This is not it..PerfectCookVersion: 1.250.185

✓ Take it downTake down the age of empires pics please wrong game.AmBiTiOnZ274Version: 1.250.213

✓ Gone down hillHave been playing for 2 years. The game started out fantastic. Now though, the developers are tripping. Don’t expect to compete unless you are ready to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Seriously, $5000 USD needed to be spent in a single event for a hero skin. That’s robbery. I’m closing my wallet. No fun playing in empty states because half our alliances have quit due the ridiculous cost of this game and no ability to stay competitive as a free to play or light spender. The devs broke this game..525 ❤️Version: 1.250.258

✓ Orange heroI just wish we get value for our money I wasted enough money buying hero scrolls 120 tickets to get just blue and green hero not even one orange as that fair people not buying anything gets better heroes than the one spending money here again 213 s3 hero tickets get 5 none of what I want than 35 s2 tickets and 0 hero the dev said better luck next time wow what a great response NEVER BUY ANYTHING THIS GAME JUST SCAM TO GET YOUR MONEY THEY GIVE BEST HERO FOR WHO DON’T BUY ANYTHING SO STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY GET THEM FREE 😡😡😡😡.66Jordan66Version: 1.250.227

✓ Like the game but ...The game is great so far, very intertaining. But i try to switch from my phone to my ipad my account to play on a bigger screen and oh my god it takes over 30 mins of forced tutorials to be able to log in my stuff. Why you do this ?.Synyster1991Version: 2.17.2

✓ Good game, but need small inprovementsThe game is nice, very well developed, were you can apply strategy, intelligence, and can develop a workflow to grow. One of the improvement that is required is about the graphic design related to the quantity of extra items that overpopulate the screen. An example the small text window that is displayed constantly near to the top of the screen, showing messages like Xxxxc obtain the first xxxxx. Nobody care about what other players on the game is doing, and the worst think that area is for important things related to the game, and if you like to closed that annoying messages the X is si small that you click in other button not desired to click, we chatted with other players on discord and the province and alliance chat about it and every one hate that thing. Must have a switch button on properties that allow to set on and off so each user could set according to the user preferences..MSpsofshtVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Money grabThe games flawed deeply and no matter how much you play or spend you either gotta spend 10,000$ + of dollars or play for 20 years to fully play and use everything available in the game. You build up an army for 2 months and lose over half from one attack and there’s no getting that back your out the time and money bc the requirements to save them will be ridiculous and cost a month to get when you have 2 days or 100$ of dollars to buy. Please don’t play the game, I spent 100 dollars on the vip shop just to see it takes years or 1000 dollars just to be able to buy stuff in the vip shop and this was after I paid to unlock it just to see I need to spend more money or play years to buy something in it. If you go and check you’ll see prices in other countries on iap are less then pennies on the dollar. Asian companies hate Americans and this game is proof at least this one hates us. The game should be removed from USA until they treat us the same and offer the same prices.Jbt1992Version: 2.7.1

✓ Good game but glitched hardOnly started playing, was going along and realised it’s similar to a lot of others so sent troops to farm. But once I leveled up my castle it started a auto game learning thing to send troops out but I can’t send troops as I already have some out and I can’t recall them because it won’t allow anything else to happen so game now ruined (have tried closing and re opening app and it just demands I send troops) HELP DEVELOPERS.DenzziiVersion: 1.250.208

✓ Rise of empires, fire and warPity the actual game isn’t like the promo videos.Sandyanne83Version: 1.250.251

✓ Full on pay to winI have been playing this game for a month now and since the moment my towns shield came down I have been repeatedly attacked by much higher lvl players witch would leave my town with little to no resources. Games are supposed to be fun but logging in each day to see your resources down to 0 because 15 people keep attacking you in the space of a few hours is not my idea of fun, especially because the only way to prevent it is to spend money either on expensive shields or resource packs. This is the type of game that give mobile gaming its bad reputation. It’s not designed to be a good playing experience but a method of fleecing money from those who have more of it than sense ..DclampitVersion: 1.250.175

✓ No support service.I was a paying customer and had a problem with one of my product (Royal Prestige Package) I decided to send them an inquiry through their inquiry form, Didn’t receive any answers for days while I paid £23,99. So I decided to claim a refund just for the package with what I had a problem. They decided to ruin my account by giving me a 200,000 gemmes debt (which is priced over £400) and convert all items I have if I’m not able to get those gemmes. They never replied to any of my inquiries. The worst customer service and even for paying customer. Find another game or don’t put a penny cause if there is a problem, you’ll be disappointed..MaxoCuioloVersion: 1.250.186

✓ New update castle skinWhat is this ? All castles are now lookalike…really confusing now. Used to be different from c19-c25 with gold towers now castles are way too similar it’s hard to recognize players now and it’s also aggressive for the eyes with this gameplay now. Please fix it bring back old castles appearance or change something because it make old players want to stop playing..Laylow0327Version: 1.250.225

✓ Money PitYou do not want to download this game. Sure it’s a lot like the old 90’s computer game which is the reason I got it. But it’s nothing but a money pit. At first I made the mistake of paying for things and I regret it now. Unless you have $100’s and I mean $100’s you will be nothing but a castle that gets destroyed by players that have the money to invest. Which that’s all this game is about fighting castles. I’m not joking unless you have the money to invest you can’t make your castle powerful enough to compete with the ones that do. Don’t listen to the developers they say you have chances at no cost. Yes you have a .01% chance of obtaining heroes that will make you more powerful. Lol. Listen I don’t usually bash games I fall victim to playing phone games like everyone else and will spend some money too. But this is ridiculous. $100’s I mean it too $100’s if you don’t have the cash flow I would stop now. Or you will just be castle bait for the castles that do spend the money and that’s what the developers want. They update things In the game all the time that make you want ti spend money so you can be the most powerful castle. You could download this game drop a $1,000 and be more powerful than castles that have been playing it for years. Well that’s my spill I’ve invested enough that I can’t walk away just yet but regret it every second. Good luck ha now it won’t let me post this review of course.FoxtrotnegativesamVersion: 1.250.227

✓ This game wrongfully charges your Apple accountHeads up everyone! Player beware! This game sometimes randomly charges your apple account and when you request a refund for the wrongly charged refunds through Apple they penalize you in the game for it. They have zero customer service besides an AI bot which doesn’t allow you to rectify anything within the game itself. The currency in the game is gems. For $1.39 you get 200 gems usually! When you request the refund for the gems you didn’t buy they call it a “malicious refund” and then give you negative -200,000 gems which is their way of penalizing you for daring to request a refund! Very very shady! No customer service!.SesomhctimVersion: 2.11.0

✓ Money Hungry DevelopersI started playing this game and loved it.. you could earn points spend a bit - I’ve spend over $500 AUD so far in 3 months. But it was my choice. Then comes this new update. Getting rid of the trading house is just greedy. And they give you building you will never unlock unless you spend $160 AUD. It’s becoming wayyy to much. Take it easy you want to be billionaires overnight??? That’s just greed. I used to spend monthly 150 and over. I’m cancelling my subscriptions and will stop spending money until you improve this. I hope everyone else does the same..User0980Version: 1.250.175

✓ Stay Clear from this game!Games like this use videos from better games (age of empires) to get you to click so that they can mine data from your phone to sell on, that’s how they make their money. No intention of making a decent game, they just wasn’t your name age and email so that they can sell your info to a marketing company. Many games are doing this now and it’s pathetic. Apple should be ashamed to let scam artists like this on their store..PotentialthereVersion: 1.250.223

✓ Loyal player Burnt by the Devs.I’ve played and invested heavily in 2.5 years of playing recently in a new state I had an issue with a refund of $1.49 (Aud) I didn’t want the refund just inquired about it, so I got the refund then I had 35,000 gems deducted (nearly $300 worth) when I questioned why I was deducted my account was permanently banned, I got told I could reverse this only bu buying a pack, I did. My account was unblocked but my gems were not reimbursed. Days later the issue still isn’t resolved and I’m being asked to buy yet another pack to solve the issue. I’d love for someone from im30 to get into contact with me in regards to this and help a loyal player get back what’s his..OzzyBeerBattlerVersion: 1.250.244

✓ The photos are snatched from a different gameDo not let your eyes deceive you as the photos are truly snatched. I know this because I play the exact game every day. It’s called: Age Of Empires and is a great game unlike this one. Age Of Empires is a computer game that is far more entertaining than this. The concept is the same however better. I’ll let the other comments say the proof for you..Play: Age Of Empires InsteadVersion: 1.250.213

✓ Game won't even launchDon't waste your time, the game won't launch at all on my iphone 11.Gabb GodfreyVersion: 1.250.223

✓ Customer Service nightmare - DON'T playThe first thing you need to know is this is not age of empires the old PC game; not even close. This game was fun but long tech has completely ruined the game by trying to monitize even aspect. The game is no longer a strategy, skill and social game. It is simply buy everything. Every day is a new skin or decoration to purchase while the game play has not evolved in years. After 4 years of playing I can say don't even start. There is no platform or way to actually resolve an issue with long tech and there are many. They will say just contact our customer support but that goes no where. If they can't immediately close your ticket they will make up some random unrelated reason to say nothing is wrong. Also don't even consider contesting a charge. Anything they charge you is considered an authorized purchase no matter if you purchased it or not and not matter if you received it or not. Yes it happened multiple times. If you contest the charge and prove you did not receive it they will still deduct items including diamonds from your account in game for any and all refunds you receive. There really isn't a single exception is what they told me. Buyer be ware they will take advantage of you. Don't start playing this game unless you are prepared to accept the worst customer service and game management you have ever experienced..ByeLongTechVersion: 1.250.240

✓ DisappointedLoaded and deleted the app 2nd time round. Nothing like the original AOE or it’s update game. Played AOE for many years and this game has greedy players as well as forcing you to purchase stuff..BlueYonder64Version: 1.250.190

✓ LCannot get it to play as landscape format.Mad malc 99Version: 1.250.207

✓ Escalating costs- avoid this gameI have been playing this game for over 2 years and am one of the several strongest players in my province. I am now looking at closing my account. The game play and team playing social elements are good. It will be sad to quit. However, progressively more in app purchases are required to remain competitive. The final straw for me was devaluing of in app purhases (hero fragments)- an issue that wasn’t warned about. It’s worrying and probably technically illegal that even when you spend money purchases can be effectively removed unpredictably. Feedback function is poor and this issue hasn’t been acknowledged or resolved by developers..GutFelineVersion: 1.250.268

✓ Nothing like the originalSold as “like the original AOE” I was highly disappointed with this modernised version. The story mode-style and forceful tutorial completely takes away what was the best part of the game... it’s freedom. AOE was one of the first open world games and this was just cringe and painful. Disappointing. Why not just grab the original coding for the game and add it to mobile? I’ll pay for that and so would many others!.Arama24Version: 1.250.186

✓ Threatening behaviourIt’s interesting how now the game changes how long people can keep things earned in game so that they steal these resources, and at the same time send threatening messages to players about asking for refunds..1andonlyIanVersion: 1.250.175

✓ Good game but needs so many changes!Downloaded and played the game for a bit even though the gameplay is nothing like the advertisements and not really explained how to do specific things or what specific things do. The reason i deleted the game was because there is no level limit on who can attack you. So even though i got my kingdom to a decent level the almost constant bombardment of extremely high level players mate it almost impossible to progress passed the level i got to. And unless you wanted to spend real life money in order to get a peace shield or the materials needed to progress there was no point trying. You spend days saving up your materials and then someone kills ya and take it all..B dog441Version: 2.0.4

✓ Nice butThe game itself is nicely done, I ve been playing for the last month and it’s one of the best game like this I played on the iPad, I like this kind of game usually it takes more time to raise the level it’s good in the beginning it goes fast and the dragon helps a lot. But it’s true I paid in the beginning £5 so you ll need to invest. But tbh now I reach the level 14 i can see all the structures will take more time to be updated everything costs more and indeed I guess you need to pay again to be able to continue properly (some structures as well you can’t build them unless you buy the social convention or something like this which cost £10). I ve lost my motivation to play because of this and as well for the game itself it’s nice but the game is a bit boring because you never fight for real you just send your troupes but you manage. Everything is just numbers and coordinates in a map and tbh I found it a bit boring, compare to other similar games I used to play this one is good cause it’s not too long to updated stuff in the beginning but yes it’s getting boring, it’s just management in the end. In conclusion, good game well done with nice concept but will need to be more intertaining..Estelle-PVersion: 1.250.186

✓ TeleportsIt’s absolute bullish+t how big players can teleport to the location of my small alliance who are just trying to start up, they ruin us and teleport away again before we can even see them or try and do anything about it- major flaw to the game and all of us are probably stopping to play this because of this overpowered bullish+t. Good game mostly but this has completely ruined it for all of us and I’m sure it’s the same for many others who are just trying to get started.AP_232Version: 1.250.186

✓ Nothing like age of empiresDo not believe fake advertising.. there should really be a law released against this. This is solo build castle game and 1minute into the game you find an altar that gives you a dragon…. So definitely not one on one or team on team strategy battle game, basically just copy paste build your stronghold and pay money for speed ups copy paste usual mobile game -update: dear developer, your adds on instagram and everywhere else suggest this game is like age of empires - age of empires is a traregy game were you build you are fighting real players real time and your castle development resets to zero each match - this is nothing like age of empires except the style of drawings. You have copy pasted mobileroyale or warpath or any other mobile game where you have your castle which you develop over time and fight other players, copy paste concept - its not like age of empires - please correct your fake adds in all social media..Eve_WhiteFoxVersion: 1.250.233

✓ Better hero odds and customer supportThe game is fun but there are a lot of issues. First the custom support is very poor. You get the same robot answer and no help what so ever. Second recruiting heroes odds are very poor. You save hundreds of tickets to try to recruit the newest heroes and you are luck to get 1 or 2. The only way to max the heroes is if you have near 2000 tickets and the only way to get that many tickets is to spend the thousands of dollars. Third you play a war season of what is called Eden which lasts 2 months and get rewards to try to get latest heroes and the rewards aren’t even guaranteed and more likely to get a hero that you already have maxed from serval seasons prior. After playing a season that long the tickets you get should guarantee you a hero that you could select. They respond back to my review with the same “cookie cutter” response they do in game and in French so I have to google translate it. This is the same poor customer service you get in game from the human side that they are talking about. Very poor customer service from this developer..Ron VogtVersion: 1.250.246

✓ Not really what I was hopingBy all means I understand that this is a tablet/mobile game. The history of Age of Empires as a game, this version is not great. If you are used to the amazing style and game play of the earlier versions DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. It is nothing like it’s earlier versions. And yes of course games are updated and changed, but they took an amazing strategy game and turned it into an excessive tap tap game that you have to do what the “game” says, massive pressure pushed upon the player, if you aren’t fast enough the other players will WIPE you out, again if you do not comply with the “game” by joining an alliance you will fail and or will not get anywhere fast. They limit you extremely by not allowing you to build at your leisure, you are limited to 2 worker huts thus MASSIVELY STUNTING YOUR GROWTH. All in all a MASSIVELY HARD BACK HAND TO THE REAL GAME!!! If you have been part of the long wait for an amazing release of the Age of Empires game, THIS IS NOT IT.FearstienVersion: 1.250.222

✓ Purchase scamThe game is fun but when you start moving towards a higher level and having to purchase items to help upgrade, the company just scams you. I purchased potions, did not receive them except for the gems. I contacted customer service through the game and asked for a refund and they took 3 days to reply with a sentance asking for the order number. I have already provided so many screens shots and bank statements of them not delivering the items I have purchased with still no response. What the game has done instead is put a negative 47k in diamonds against my account as I asked for a $1.49 refund on what I wasn’t delivered. It is ridiculous!.Lena71529Version: 1.250.186

✓ Pay to win much?I understand a free game having some micro transactions... but this game goes well and beyond. You need heroes? Buy them, you need resources, buy them, you need speed ups, buy them, you need crafting equipment that takes months and months to acquire? Buy them, your stamina is gone on your troops? Buy some more. Your troops died? Buy a money only item that increases your weekly revive from 30% to 100%. You need courage medals for research? Buy them. Oh here is an event for rewards for how more money you spend. Did I mention you get gems with all purchases? Oh here’s more speed ups and resources. Oh base rewards? Well don’t plan on getting those because the people who are spending money will completely make you useless. What’s that you want a 50% building time buff.... buy that. Oh vip shop unlocks at castle 20.... but you need to have spend 100 just to unlock it, and 25 monthly to keep using it..... but you can build it though. Not only is this a copy of lss which is entirely just different names and pictures. But some countries have a different money currency. So what will cost you 1000s to do, will cost them hundreds instead. Don’t even bother. You want to be a boss and spend $10,000 on this game it’s for you. You want to spend $100 don’t even bother. You and all the free to play people will just be fed on and used to increase the money spenders..ReederboardVersion: 1.250.185

✓ DecentI’ve played this game for awhile now and it’s really fun as I love these types of games but the only thing am having a problem with is buying stuff in the game ive bought packs(bundles) and I haven’t received any of it when I ask the support team they say that am making it up I have proof of the payment but still they refuse to help me out, if you gonna spend money on this game just don’t coz they will scam you am not the only person that this has happened to.MW1BOTVersion: 1.250.250

✓ Unfortunately not worth the timeAs a lover of resource management games, this one is infuriating unless you have paid to play. It seems the game is just run by a few people that attack new people to the community and like to rule everything. It is absolutely a pay-to-win game. The previews you see on this app download page and on fb ads are really misleading too. I will be looking for a game similar to waste my time on soon where it’s less about paying-to-play..JessMSydnVersion: 1.250.246

✓ Game glitch?Only just started the game today, but I’m stuck potentially due to a glitch. The game won’t let me select a single icon, other than build a training ground. All good, however there is not a place on the map where it will let me place it! I can’t move other buildings to reorganise the layout, as I said, it won’t let me select any other icon other than build and place. If tech support could help, otherwise I’ll have to find something else. Please help!!.KeyserSoze001Version: 2.2.0

✓ CostsGreat game, but maybe the more expensive of games such as these. Certain parts of the game, unable to buy stamina from the shop or alliance shop, not being able to assist fellow alliance members with resources, having challenges start with little or no information on how to compete. It’s ridiculous. Having items in your pack, and there is no information on what they do or how to use them. It’s like the blind leading the blind..Dropbear1Version: 1.250.217

✓ Stolen assets and ads are gameplay of Age of empires 2Honestly this game is a rip off! The ads for this game are made up of stolen gameplay of other old games which i’m guessing the devs are hoping no one realises that that’s what they are doing, some examples being: Age of empires 2 and banished. If you like the look of the ads, don’t play this game, it is nothing like that but instead try either one of the games i mentioned, the classic age of empires 2 can be run on a toaster but it is still a classic and an enjoyable game that i still play to this day! I’d recommend trying that instead of this because rise of empires is not what it is advertised as..I_egg_ur_houseVersion: 1.250.190

✓ Great game gone greedyIn 2020 when I started playing this game it was fun. I didn’t spend a penny for months and it was okay. I wasn’t the strongest players in the state but as time went by there was less fun and more spending to upgrade the tech and troops, castle skins etc. Now everyday there’s some event to spend on but hardly any game play. The players who has money to spend are the strongest and can bully free to play or low spenders. It’s a shame this fantastic game has turned out this way. Many good players are leaving this game and I am not surprised at all. If they don’t sort this out soon the developers can say goodbye to this game..Rajulimbu82Version: 1.250.250

✓ Hard to follow, consistently crashesPlayed this game for a little over a week. Found the tutorial to be pretty basic and doesn’t explain everything in the game. All based around very expensive micro transactions. Also found once I hit level 10 the game consistently crashed. I’d barely load the game and it would crash. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashed..Ziltoid85Version: 1.250.193

✓ Poor playGraphically very pleasing and easy to master the basics. Disappointing that from level 9 onwards you are subject to multiple attacks each day (5 being the highest I experienced) often by the same opponent making progress very difficult as who wants to be online 24/7. Main reason for giving this a one star ratings is that in game purchases are needed to progress the game - most games give an option for these purchases which do not impact on the basic game but not here. App has now been deleted..Druger476Version: 1.250.213

✓ Error and IssuesError: in tutorial/story you will need to kill a lv1 monster and if you have your army however collecting resources on the map, the system warns impossible to have two armies at the same time. Tried to recall my army in mission, but the system just stack because it doesn’t allow to do anything else rather than to tutorial even it is a necessary step to resolve conflicts. Issue 1: I don’t really think the characters there are original. They look like taken from famous movies and models with minor updates. Issue 2: uploading avatars requires topping up, fine, but there is even no embedded avatars for option, even no option for male or female. When I find I can’t change my avatar from a mis-gendered one, I delete the app immediately as this is so extremely disrespectful..萌斯克Version: 1.250.223

✓ Fake and Scam, Don’t play it!First of all this is not Age of Empires, it’s a ripoff and they should be sued for false advertisement. The ad makes you think that you are about to play the PC version of Age of Empires (there is a voice in the ad that says so!) but the game is completely different. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Also, it’s a pay to win game. Sure, they start by giving you free buildings and free upgrades, later everything you want to do in the game costs real money. Do you want to build something? Money please! Do you want to upgrade something? Money please! Do you want troops? Money please! And read the reviews, a lot of people have bought in-game purchases and have been scammed and admins won’t reply to their tickets. Finally, people say that they are low level and are constantly being attacked by higher level players, which steal their resources, thus forcing you to pay money to get more resources in order to “get back on your feet”, but then guess what, you get attacked again and again and all that money you spent in recourses is technically gone and you repeat the cycle again. DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!.AldnakvoenabxjVersion: 1.250.185

✓ Could be way betterVery confusing game, no real tutorials. It seems to always ask for cash..Ajw65Version: 1.250.225

✓ Developer money looting gameWriting these who have been playing this game for more than 2 years, this game is all about money. 1- If you are not so rich, dont download. 2- The price of the packages are different according to countries. For example if you Live in Chine or Korea, you can able to buy more and more cheaper. 3- In appstore or playstore, showing some pictures and videos. Absolutely this game is not reletad with it. You can understand them to start cheating from here. 4- You have been working for this game for 2 years, being the most powerful castle, but they release new heroes, researchs, skins etc, if you dont buy these, you castle will go to garbage. There will be no end about it and getting the new things are getting so harder and more expensive. The aim is same that rob you. 5- They have the worst customer relationship. All messages are auto mesage. If you look at the comments which are belong them you will See what I mean. 6- I definitely advice you not to download this game.Jojee KeralaVersion: 1.250.236

✓ Good game, one annoying bugDoesn’t add supplies you get given, when you pass one of the achievements etc. when I go to claim my prize, it tells me that I’m receiving X amount of whatever but I don’t see any change in my supplies when I exit to the town. Otherwise a good game..694agoodtimeVersion: 1.250.190

✓ True review! Please read!To start off this game is fun, the player base is engaging and has very good mechanics. With that out of the way this game is a super spenders dream. Want to just max your castle in a month and leave every other player 1-2 years behind you? Easy sure go ahead. Ahh you want the newest best heroes? How about no? Save tickets for months and we’ll bundle up so many heroes together we will reduce your chances. This game is a pay to win and have only recently scaled up their spending events. As a small medium player you will never catch up to the big guys. Months of work are ruined by crappy rewards or unwanted/useless hero pulls with what ever few tickets you do win. It has so much potential but the developers are actively just trying to find ways to grow their pockets instead of fixing many issues the community as a collective have pointed out..Louie21/27Version: 1.250.223

✓ Lagging issuesGame is really good but I encountered a lag in the game and I can’t get pass it. I’m supposed to dig a river in a place where it cannot be dug. So unfortunately I’ll have to delete the app.Roro3213Version: 2.4.1

✓ Thought it would have been better😕I got this game not too long ago and at first there was a lot of things to do and it was a ton of fun, but as I leveled up it got a little boring. It kept doing the same things over and over and over again. Plus in the advertisement, half of the things that the video showed to you, you can’t do! After only a day of playing it I deleted it, there wasn’t a lot to it. Another thing, it’s really hard to win battles. The only things that you can really do is build and upgrade, common things in a game. I also thought you’d be able to see the battles but the only thing that you can do is watch the March and it takes a long time to get to the point where they actually battle. In general this game is really good but I wish there was more to it..MmdslothsVersion: 1.250.188

✓ Developer Rethink EventsI have played the for about a month now. I was willing to get through the long tutorial and even stayed once the game opened the throne event up. Even stayed once our “king” was crowned and we ended up with a tyrant/dictator (note, you may get lucky and get a ruler that wants to help the province and not just themselves). I even stayed once we had to start state vs state events. But the event that destroys the game and the game play is the Reign of Chaos event. Reign of Chaos has caused more people to quit the game then any other event. I get it developers much games to make money and I’ve spent a fair bit more on this game trying to compete but all that money, time and effort gets thrown out the window during reign of chaos. The game play completely changes and you have spend yet more money to even survive this event let alone thrive. Maybe next time when you develop a game don’t change everything on a player a month or two in. That way you can make more money by keeping players longer..Soccer103748933Version: 1.250.186

✓ PointlessI have played for 3 months and reached castle level 20, not spent a cent. Quite entertaining at the start though being in a strong alliance is a must otherwise your base gets repeatedly ransacked. This is poor game design in my view to allow newer players to be fodder in that way, and I didn’t like the fact that some of the attacks started to feel very personal - I was getting abusive messages from one guy who repeatedly attacked my base. Now I feel like I spend my game time just trying to save up resources for more upgrades, it’s become very boring and predictable. There is very little actual attacking in the game, the graphics are very amateurish, and overall I feel it is disappointing to invest so much time and energy only to find the game does not develop much..FinbossVersion: 1.250.202

✓ Nothing like age of empiresDeceit. I hope Microsoft catch wind of this and you get buried in law suits..NickamachineVersion: 1.250.185

✓ Misleading and waste of timeI played this game for about a month, and it was fairly enjoyable in the beginning. I wish now I had read the reviews earlier, I could have saved a month of my life. DO NOT waste your time. This is a true pay-to-win game. If you do not pay, you will be at a HUGE disadvantage, and will waste HOURS of your time trying to proceed at the higher levels. I can see how you buy something small at lower levels, and then get sucked in at higher levels as everything is that much more difficult so you end up spending even more money. So happy I stuck to my rule and quit before spending a dollar..FTUKVersion: 1.250.186

✓ Requires a lot of cash investment and too many side eventsI have been playing for 2 months and already spent a small fortune. there are so many side events it is often hard to remember to do them all and some are not easy to understand or find again after doing the tasks. You need the help of experienced players to advise you on the many elements of this game. The game requires you to gather masses of resources to upgrade buildings which seem unrealistic. it is easy to overspend on this game with so many things to do. The exclusive Chinese states have promotional packages that are much cheaper than the rest of the world have to pay, this ends up generating hatred against the Chinese sponsored by the developers, and makes it impossible to compete against them. Although I have enjoyed playing this game, there seems no point continuing to spend my money if the Chinese are given an unfair advantage enabling them to progress much faster than other players around the world. When we come up against these Chines States in battles, most players can only shield instead of fighting and that is not fun. Unless the developers create a level playing field where the whole world get comparable prices and offers, or put the Chinese states only against each other in battles, then I will stop playing..Dacc007Version: 2.4.1

✓ In app purchases are faulty supportI purchased an in app product where the purchase resulted in some sort of technical error and purchased product was not provided. No response from technical support and I was “ineligible” for a refund through Apple. Buyer beware! This app developer is breaching consumers laws. received a decline for refund from Apple and have submitted 3 claims with the developer from the app and the purchase of $159 produce no out come. Outrageous!.BGA1627Version: 1.250.177

✓ Rip offCould be a very good game but only if you have money . Shields cost gems which can be gathered but would take a month the get them or you have to buy the . It’s pay as you go and packs are too dear with very limited items in them after all it shouldn’t be that expensive. Also in your city there is a lot going on too many buildings , eg you have to build a lumber factory then lumber storage then charcoal factory then charcoal storage then you have to physically cart lumber to town to keep the town going ,didn’t realise they had electricity then. RIP OFF game but could be good . I’ll bet no one sees this.OnewogVersion: 1.250.188

✓ Stop making Payments!I have deleted this game, and there is still payments being made on my account. Fix this now before i sue..Austinwall4424Version: 2.11.0

✓ Nice game, fun but far too slow and expensiveI have been playing this game for a month or so. It’s nice, fun and fast enough to progress in the initial stages.. however the more you are going up the level the more time it requires and more resources.. ok that’s a common thing in mobile games however I found that RoE is far too slow to progress and the amount of resources required is crazy! The production on some resources is constantly insufficient (eg gold) and to obtain special tickets required to upgrade buildings or heroes is far from the reality.. also the times required to upgrade buildings are crazy too. All these are quite demotivating.. even if you want to spend some real money the packs are still below the average unless you spend hundred of pounds/ dollars/ euros and again nobody can really tell that you will be progressing your castle properly… even if you create 100 farm accounts, the resources are still so inefficient as the asking is 1000 times higher than the production! Oh, and to participate in the events you will need to spend again a considerable amount of either speed ups, resources and troops which ends up to be in a constant loop of seeking iron and gold.. annoying and demotivating I’d say...Lazaros LondonVersion: 1.250.223

✓ Don’t waste your moneyI have played this game for over 2 years. It was fun for a while and $100 a month used to be enough to keep you competing. Unless you have $1k++ a month you will never be competitive enough to participate properly. The events are clearly designed to encourage spending and use similar tactics seen in casinos and gambling apps to draw players in. The game has evolved into a complete pay to play experience and it’s laughable how the creators attempt to explain changes in gameplay as beneficial to players..Frustrated player 123456Version: 2.1.1

✓ Grind festThis game is a grind fest made only to make the devs rich rather than have any meaningful gameplay. You will progress slowly even if you buy items and higher players come along and steal all your resources in one attack setting you back weeks. All newbies just feed the older players as the repeatedly rinse you for resources. It could have been a good game but it isn’t. Update: In view of the pointless developer response I wish I could lower to 0 stars. It fails to address any of the fundamental flaws in the game, as for “active” alliances they are full of predatory players that just want to rinse newbies for all their resources, so that doesn’t help at all. As for taking the time, I played this for 8 months doing the daily challenges and reached a castle well into the twenties. If you want to fix the game, cap the resources that can be stolen per attack to 1 million across all resources eg a mix of each. That way if you have a lot it cannot be stolen quickly before you can even log in. Fix the problems and stop telling people they aren’t playing it right, we have clearly a better idea how the game works than you or you would be agreeing with us!!.Bin jackVersion: 1.250.241

✓ Not enough infoI played the game and 50% was guessing trial and error trying to figure out what to do And now I’m stuck I just rescued some princess and she wants to help redesign my layout but the button doesn’t work and I can’t go back change what I’m trying to do and when I restart the game I end up rescuing the princess again with same stalled result.Adair56Version: 1.250.169

✓ BugsMarching troops when out in the world keep dropping off the bottom of the screen and you have to close the game and open again to be able to return troops. Also an issue with alliance chat not showing messages after certain points and makes you miss content (Love this game).Snik92Version: 1.250.184

✓ It’s not AOEWhy use material and images from Age of Empires when this game is nothing like it? You should be sued for copying intellectual property..Game player213Version: 1.250.227

✓ Fun but costlyThis game is fun to play. Build your armies, heros, and castle. Different types of game play. You get to work with alliance in defense, attack, and war strategy. But it is a pay to play game. Of course you can get by not paying anything, but you will be far behind. They’re always adding different accessories or hero’s that you can only get by paying for them which gives you an advantage. And some aren’t even guaranteed. You have to buy a $5-$10 chest for even a chance to get the item. To be one of the stronger players expect to spend upwards of $1000. Except of course if you’re fighting against one of the Chinese servers. They get better pricing allowing them even more power. And you’re not allowed to talk to them to negotiate because of the restrictions that China puts in place. So again, fun game with chance of meeting some great people. But expect to be annoyed with the money grab..Abused & neglectedVersion: 2.1.0

✓ An ok base building game, but...Although I have enjoy the game for the short time I had it. I do have some issues with the advertising for the game. I have seen advertisements claiming that “this game says no to pay to win” this is being used for those who want a relaxed gaming experience where everyone has a fair chance. But like most games in this genre you need to pay to get ahead of those your competing against. Not to mention the only preview image that’s accurate with the game play, in the App Store is the final image. The rest of the preview phots are trying make you believe your about to play Age of Empires. These issues are a major red flags for me. While I understand the need to make a profit from a free to download game like this, claiming to be above that while hiding the fact there are micro transactions concerns me. A minor issue I have with the game lack of freedom to do what you want when a chapter is completed, and have unlocked a new building it’s more annoying than anything because not many people want to be interrupted during game growth moments because the game wants you to do something..Footballer4lifer123Version: 1.250.182

✓ DisappointedMy friend sent me an ad for this game and in the add the main character glides across the ocean on his stomach and when he washes up one land he immediately vomits. My friend and I thought it was hilarious so I told her that I would get the game and if he didn’t do EXACTLY what he did in the ad I would delete the game. And guess what. HE DIDN’T DO IT. I was so disappointed that I was going to write this review and give this game a 1 star review but I thought to myself, “I’m so disappointed in this game that I doesn’t even DESERVE 1 star!” And if you are one of those people who saw that same exact ad then let me tell you, this game is NOTHING like the ad. I’m so mad that I spent 5 minutes of my life to search up the game, download it, and play 10 seconds of the game just to delete 5 seconds later. I would not recommend this game to anyone. P.S The only reason I’m giving this game a star is because it’s making me and I HAVE to let everyone know that this game isn’t worth it..MelloMangoVersion: 1.250.181

✓ Zero Stars!I have been on this game for over a year. The only reason I continue to play is for the certain amount of friends I have made on the game. However, it is clear the game is a major scam to get players to spend money to catch up with the already maxed out accounts that have been confirmed to be receiving free gifts from developers. That do not need to pay for packages in store, who are able to go way above the limit the game allows other fair players to have access too. I would definitely recommend that people find another game, this one is no longer worth paying to play..03052016Version: 1.250.169

✓ RubbishNothing like Age of Empires. You should be sued for false advertising..Jillyp2013Version: 1.250.185

✓ Make this game great againI started to play this game in back in November. It used to be fun initially. Big spenders growing fast and non spenders or medium spenders growing slower, but at some point still can catch the big spenders. Since March it became more like a rise of skins and legions with more and more packs for money. Of course nobody is forced to spend money, but there is no more fun for medium or non spenders. Big spenders are getting stronger and stronger and f2p players have no more chances to compete with them. I’m being honest. I am a medium spender and I don’t like the way the devs chosen. Make this game great again.Adrian9299Version: 1.250.236

✓ Don’t bother. You’ll be wasting your time.The playing field is skewed. It’s not level or fair. I’m off! I just spent about two weeks building supplies to upgrade and got hammered. Lost it all 🤬. Opponents that are excessively more powerful than you are allowed to attack multiple times, some six times in one hit. It needs restrictions. Either don’t allow an opponent more than say 3/4 levels bigger or only allowed to hit with one army. There’s just no point otherwise. You’d just be living under the shield continuously 😡😡😡😡 PS. Support, don’t just keep apologising sort it out..CvbjhuyVersion: 2.7.0

✓ Big moneyThis is a pay to win game, simple. But, the amount you have to spend to win is insane. There are players with 500k into their accounts. Every month the game produces new, expensive pay to play items that are key to winning. If you don’t keep spending the ridiculous amounts down you go… sad state of affairs really..JstofitVersion: 1.250.241
