Forge of Empires: Build a City for Negative User Reviews
✓ Death By AdvertsNote there’s no recent reviews on this game, that’s a bit odd. Thought I’d put my opinion up. This is a very nicely designed game, the graphics and animation are great. But it’s slow to progress with, everything takes an age to progress. Some parts are pointless. Recent introduction of adverts have added an element of boredom, same old adverts they are repetitive and are getting longer and longer. To the extent that I don’t click on them much. They waste minutes of my life I will never get back. I’m fast getting to saturation point, and possible deletion. If you’re using adverts at least mix them up, make them relevant, not simply plugging the same boring games all the time..Version: 1.259.22
✓ StorageWhat is the possibility of have an option to place already built buildings into a storage facility? For instance, you have researched and bought what you can and you find you have 325 people more than you need - you could place some of the houses into storage (or even the older age to help see what you need) and then once you’ve researched more and require people then you can bring some houses back out. Saves selling them to rebuild them. Or you have production buildings but you aren’t using them as you have enough stock but you need to get one other to increase its stock - you could place the ones you don’t need into storage which also frees up space and then buy the one you require? Hope this is an idea for a future update..Version: 1.144.1
✓ Boring and non progressiveThis game is fun until late middle ages maybe before then its boring and you are always against foes one age higher than yours no matter what. You cant get any great buildings such as tower of babalon or any wonder its impossible if you have made an account after 2018 and i don't have money for cheap , shoddy and pointless games. I think clash of clans had more strategy than this file of junk. This game need nations such as greek and you need to be able to change it once every era. Its 4.5 stars cause players tend to spend money on this. By the way don't download its not worth it. It will ask for all your money. I don't spend money on video games. Developers why does apple support you?.Version: 1.137.1
✓ City building?I really wish this game was just about building your towns/cities through the ages and not about battling other players. Totally ruins the game. Would’ve loved building throughout the different ages..Version: 1.170.1
✓ Game ruined by greedA game not for those that require immediate gratification, but rather those that like to plan and like to research the quickest ways to grow. Until recently it was a game I enjoyed, but changes have made aspects of the game extremely boring, ruining the enjoyment within the guild battlegrounds all in a veiled attempt at making it fairer. In reality the focus is on diamond purchase and the lining of Inno’s pockets. What was once a game that pulled people together has now turned into an epically boring slogfest. I would in fact rather stick pins in my old fella’s eye. Sort it out Inno, or you will continue to lose more and more people from the game..Version: 1.274
✓ Not very fun to playI keep looking for a good city building game, something fun like The Simpsons: Tapped Out and I was hoping this was it. But it’s not. My main issues are that when you are just starting the game people who have been playing for years and are way ahead of you are still allowed to attack you and plunder your city. This should only be available for people at the same level as you otherwise there is nothing you can do about it. Your army is never going to beat theirs. You also get so little in terms of land that you have to keep deleting buildings so you can build something else when you need certain goods. And the goods buildings produce so little in such a long time that you spend days and days trying to get enough to do anything. I get that this is a long play game but it’s too long for me. Just not enough to do to keep me interested. Update in response to developer: 1. Plundering would be fine if in the game it tells you about it, however, you only find out once someone does it and then you have to google what happened. 2. Even after googling Neighborhoods it is still unclear what these are, how to determine which one you are in or what the purpose is. 3. The game also doesn’t teach you about city defense, had to google that too. Too much stuff you have to google which is what makes it not fun. I never have to google how to do anything in Tapped Out, a far superior game. If you’re looking for a true city building game this is not it..Version: 1.178.3
✓ CHEATERS ALLOWEDA lot of cheating , and Inno doesn’t take any actions. As a result honest people who has been playing for many years and spending a good money on the game are quitting. Now they are updating the game in a way you need to pay to be competitive. Consequence will be more players quitting. If you are not planning to spend a good money playing, find another game..Version: 1.267
✓ SlowThere needs to be a way to get diamonds without real money. Moving to another age takes an age at first they give you diamonds then it stops. If you download this don’t expect a fast moving game you will get fed up waiting for the next step. Like the fact there is no real attacks although it is annoying you can’t stop them from robbing your industrial buildings. At least what you have produced is safe which is good. They need to make it easer to progress more diamonds given away. Should be able to switch of attacks from other players give diamonds progress quicker then it would be a five star. Deleted it not really worth playing took too long to progress no diamonds don’t bother better type of games like this one out there..Version: 1.121.1
✓ Bad serviceThe game itself is actually pretty good. It’s the only game I’ve ever spent money on. Unfortunately I am deleting the app because of diamonds purchased and not received and after sending screenshots of Apple receipts and bank statements they are not willing to honour the diamonds I purchased, and are claiming that purchase was made days before, but it wasn’t. And my bank statements are proof. They pretend to help but they don’t. Don’t waste your money on this game..Version: 1.137.1
✓ Another greedy gameAt first I thought it was going to be a decent game, started off with good game mechanics, then as I leveled up it didn’t take me long to discover that the have designed the game to require the heavy use of real money via in app purchases, to be able to continue playing. They limit your growth without money paid, the limit your leveling without money spent, and they limit your quest ability without spending money. At first I even fell pray and thought of if I spend a little money, then I could get over the money hump and continue on with my game. But then I quickly found out that every little aspect required in app purchases, that at no level, no quest and no point can you continue in the game with out constant money purchases. There one early on research that specifically calls for in game currency purchases with real money, just to advance to another age. I know apps that are free have some in app purchases to speed things up, that help pay for development, but this game goes beyond having them for convenience, to making the purchase a mandatory requirement to continue playing. They have an event history list, that allows higher level players to have a permanent way to attack you daily and ruin the gameplay! Update: in response to developer: highly unlikely as there are many things in the tree for diamonds, and I have yet to see any diamonds for fee in the game!.Version: 1.129.0
✓ Fps threadsFP and threads more specifically 1.9 threads. In specific these threads well getting real tired of the hall monitors, snipers, and overlords. At least that is what I call them. I always try to hit the 1.9 ( not that it is a hard fast rule that I can find). Start with the snipers (although I’ve been falsely accused). Put 1-2 FP on everything never make any real contribution ( bad for other players who have to wait till enough people jump on, and knock the snipe off the goodie list. The Hall monitors, classic “ rules say you owe me 2 fps to be at 1.9. That’s it your gone” Never mind you went over by a point or two on your last two or three posts ( just your ignorance). These folks well good riddance. Overlords, these folks I just don’t understand. Just burned again. Been swapping fps with this player for several weeks. Just us two on the building. I place (1.9 thread) exact amount of fps and take the top slot. Overlord places 20 over 1.9 thread takes top slot. I loose 255 fps they loose 20 fps on the over-post. It’s a winner for the player everyone else looses. Fps are the key part of the game. Not well designed, my opinion. Probably the reason I leave, tired of the nasty grams for things I’ve not done wrong..Version: 1.243.21
✓ Be CarefulI thoroughly enjoy this game, but it comes with a trap. Most things can be obtained with coins in the early stages of the game. Once you hit the Iron Age though it is a money pit, as you need diamonds to purchase almost everything. And you need to buy the diamonds with real money. I will not be continuing far it seems as I am not going to pay exorbitant amounts for diamonds that do not go far. I really wish the game designers would revamp this game and enable people who do not have endless pockets to continue to play it..Version: 1.122.3
✓ Unauthorized purchase costs $80This is not a complaint about the game, but the application itself. The aggressive in-app purchase sales pop up from time to time. Yesterday my finger accidentally hit an offer before I could even read it. Then my thumb grazed the bottom of the phone and spent $80 before I knew it. The whole process took less than 1 second. In a panic, I quit the app and restarted it. A message said the order was not delivered, and asked me to confirm. I cancelled instead, and the order did not complete, or so I thought. The next day I received a receipt from Apple for $80 and discovered that the money had left my bank account, even though the order was not delivered. After a spending a good part of my morning navigating Apple support, a nice person named Janica was able to reverse the charges, and I can expect to have the money back in 7-10 days. I have deleted the Forge of Empires app from my phone, and will not use it again..Version: 1.134.2
✓ FrustrationTHE WORST COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GAME I played for about a year, and felt horrible several time due to behaviour of players in this game. This game leaves you with frustration, anxiety, and many bad feelings. There are many players who misbehave. They bully, They disrespect you, They make you feel horrible, They steal your resources which you spent real money on buying them. This game is full of non trustworthy players. Players with real life issues. You should not trust anyone in this game which means no fun for me. Even your supposed friends and guildmates, you cannot trust. They cheat in FP swaps, etc. And noone really cares. Leave this game and all its frustrations. ITS A GAME TO PRACTICE TO BE A HORRIBLE PERSON..Version: 1.150.0
✓ No diamondsOk game to pass the time , but don’t try to buy diamonds with real money as they take your cash very quickly but don’t give anything back . I would give star rate of - 10 if I could.Version: 1.172.1
✓ Battle Doesn’t work 😂😂Ummm...yeah. You can’t actually battle. It stays to tap a green square...only you can’t. The game is not responsive. Might wanna work out those glitches!!.Version: 1.136.3
✓ Game downloadI downloaded the game from the AppStore. Then I start the game and still have to download 1.1gigs? I don’t want to play this game that bad..Version: 1.277.14
✓ Âge of EmpireThis game is too expensive to play. After one night, you could spend a ton of money and it keeps asking for more. So don't play this game..Version: 1.152.1
✓ Not greatDownloaded it but like other reviews can only get so far then you have to spend money lots to progress , why cannot you put a price for game at start and let people progress slowly if they don’t want to spend. ?.Version: 1.141.0
✓ Great gameI have been playing this game for years and never paid any money towards the game and I never get tired of it, but recently there have been a few annoying things that make it not so enjoyable. On one of the little games that come up regularly, every time I pressed the icon to play the game it crashed. I tried several times to get in touch, but whatever was suggested never worked, and I never played that particular game. I thought it was only a blip and carried on playing it until yesterday when I tried to log in and it came up on the screen “Sorry. Something’s gone wrong.” Since then I have not been able to get into the game at all and nowhere to get in touch except on the review. So it looks like I will not be playing this game again unless someone can sort it out. So that is why I have only given it three stars..Version: 1.271
✓ Unfair PVPI did a review in game but just in case it doesn’t show up, avoid this game unless you like being ripped off. Player vs Player has ruined the game. Every time you get ahead a little another player takes your goods. If you have a lot of money you can BUY your way through the game or if you’re a thief you can take what you want. In my mind, the developers and thieves should be arrested in the real world. I spent REAL MONEY to get these goods and to progress in the game and they were taken from me by someone with a city and army so big that only a few players could defend themselves against. Before anyone thinks I’m a whiner, don’t worry I left and deleted my cities. Update: I deleted the city that was being attacked daily and I’m trying one more time. I like this game but this is FOE’s last chance with me. If it doesn’t get better I will leave for good. I don’t mind attacks if they are FAIR!! Higher level players should only be allowed to attack other players at the same level. Otherwise it’s robbery. INNO you said you hoped I would come back. Ok..here I am. We shall see if you truly want a fair game or not. Make PVP fair or you will lose more players than just me. Read your reviews. I’m not the only one who feels this way and I’m NOT going to BUY my way to the top..Version: 1.171.0
✓ It shouldn’t be this difficultI love these sorts of games. But I’ve nearly quit playing this game. There are no tutorials (not that I usually need one) so you blunder around learning by trial and error. And the errors made can be very costly in game play. It shouldn’t be so difficult to meet daily challenges often missing out only by a fraction after making every effort. Yes it’s a strategy game but with no directions and the difficulty being so high it becomes less enjoyable. I’m a rather intelligent person and I struggle to make progress in this game. I think the only reason I persisted this long is a stubborn will to not let it get the better of me..Version: 1.119.1
✓ Fun, until you need real moneyI found the first week of playing it to be enjoyable. By the end of week two, it became evident you need to use real money to progress. To complete your research tree for say agriculture, you need an item like dye, and need 30 units. You can only produce one every 4 hours, so prepare to grind. Or, 'buy diamonds' with your real money and solve that problem. Then do this again for sewage research. Then military tactics. Because trade at this point is non-existent. So I'll be deleting the game because it was designed to fail after a certain point of advancement. I will go back to Sim City, which IS playable without cash..Version: 1.275
✓ It should have been called diamonds empireA pretty decent game absolutely ruined by its pay to win mechanics, anything and everything in the game has a shortcut of simply using hard cash to buy the in game currency of diamonds. I'm all for companies making money, but it's not even as if the diamonds are a reasonable price, and you soon realise the whole experience is just a great big greed scam. Even it's st Patrick even has pots of gold as a currency, and yes, you guessed it, the pots of gold can be bought with diamonds. If you have any kind of gambling tendencies, avoided this one and just go and buy a new ps4 or Xbox one and a game, it'll probably work out cheaper..Version: 1.173.1
✓ Response to developer’s response to “terrible even with patience “Ok, now I have played this game for some time and am now making my way through “Arctic Future” but the claim that I could have possibly got here without spending any real $$ is an absolute outright LIE and you know it FoE!!! I understand that you guys are in it to make money and your game isn’t what I’d call cheap and that’s my decision to progress this far with it but do NOT suggest for a moment that you could get where I am in the game without spending a reasonable amount of dollars/euros/whatever. That is pure deception!!.Version: 1.152.0
✓ It’s almost the perfect game.I’ve been searching for a game like red alert/age of empires and this was so close to being it.. It would be a great game if the land wasn’t locked behind pay walls. Combat is trash turn based garbage. And for me personally if it was completely non pvp… I downloaded it because I thought it was.. but at a certain point other players can raid you it would be nice if some of these games had a pacifist mode where you can choose not to interact with other players. Someone please just port age of empires to mobile. I don’t want to play other people or wait 5 years to build a city. I’m happy to pay to download a game like that with no stupid pay wall restrictions..Version: 1.256.13
✓ Too complex and time consumingWas having fun, enjoying the game until about two weeks in. I kept having this little robber icon pop up every time I was trying to collect enough supplies to add more buildings. It’s been 4 days and I’ve not gotten enough to do what I want to do. Went to the forums and found out that the robber icon is other players PLUNDERING MY SUPPLIES. Tried to figure out how to just play on my own with no interaction with other players and all I could find was rude people basically saying “stop whining.” “How hard is it to collect on time?” When you have a life where you have to work and take care of others? Pretty dang hard actually. I’m not looking for something this complex and confusing. If someone chooses NOT to join a guild, that means their level of game play is going to be low and letting other people steal their resources is not going to make them want to play more. It’s going to make them angry and delete the game. Like I just did. I am so tired of these games that do crap like this to try to get you ‘motivated’ to play more or spend money to get to a higher level, where it won’t effect you as much, faster. I’m trying to relax and unwind. Not spend hours looking through forums and the help section just to find out there’s no help for it. I don’t want to interact with other players. Why isn’t their an option to just play by yourself at your own pace? I love the basic idea of the game. Wish there was a version for single player though..Version: 1.233
✓ Game has been ruined!I’ve been playing this game for a number of years and spent plenty on buying diamonds to help me progress through it. As a disabled person it has been a lifeline for me, a chance to hang out with friends and spend my day enjoying the strategy and city building. However, they have introduced some sweeping changes to the central Guild Battleground which I was very active in which have totally ruined the game for me and many many others. i haven’t found one single person who is happy with what they have done to the game! Now, instead of being able to play the game multiple times per day and get involved with many fights, due to the changes I am finished in 15 minutes due to the high attrition wiping out my troops and then nothing more for me to do until the following day! I have lots of time on my hands and this game used to fill that time beautifully but now, I am being forced to start looking for alternative games and I will take my spending with me elsewhere. No point spending any further money on a game that is now offering me so little in return compared to previously. Such a shame and I hope they realise what they have done and revert it to the fun, enjoyable game it previously was.Version: 1.266
✓ I don’t know about this game...I’m not trying to judge I just started playing this game but I think it’s expensive and it’s kind of boring to me and what can you even do you might say yea it’s just a noob but seriously after the tutorial what can you do produce stuff and that’s it I was lost but I have been reading the other reviews and haven’t even Contributed ever but I believe in the reviews and it says you need fixed the game and then we can everything expensive because it is why would you need an expansion for 200 diamonds also I don’t like how I need to Tutorial. They waste your diamonds for you I think you should have a choice because if you’re going to make everything so expensive with diamonds why should you spend 100 for ya And as this and as he said diamonds are very important so you just want people to pay for more some some people don’t want to waste money on a game so I think you should waste the money for them not money not even many diamonds but the damage in the game I like money but as I was saying I don’t know about the game because well it’s expensive it’s kind of boring and what can you do just Produce things I don’t mean maybe you should give it more than just one little tweak.Version: 1.149.0
✓ Not getting fixedThe game now has a number of glitches and problems that are just not getting addressed. Instead the developers keep making additional changes without fixing the current issues. To name a couple... One issue right now is the message bar within the game, so important to guilds and for people who like to chat. The message bar cuts words out, cuts them in half and splays them in different paragraphs. Another issue is the fighting in Guild Expedition, select your army to go into battle...only for it to be changed around when the battle commences. These have been raised with the support who have no option but to send a standard template reply, “developers are aware of the issue and working on a solution”. The message bar issue is about 6 months old! Another annoying problem is the fortnightly neighbourhood re-shuffle. This potentially is very good but every now and again they stick someone in your neighbourhood who is an age, or sometimes two ages higher than your army. You are completely defenceless and it spoils the game. Report it and they’ll do nothing about it at all except send another templated reply. The game is sadly going downhill, it’s a shame really :-(.Version: 1.117
✓ Ads freeze the gameThe system rashes when ads are played, a real shame as otherwise fine.Version: 1.267
✓ When great goes bad.This used to be a fantastic app and I actually had no issues spending money when I wanted something. They built up a large following and now Inno has turned FOE in to a money grab and nothing more. It is ridiculous that you have to watch a video/ long advertisement just to motivate friends/ guildmates. It completely changes the flow of the game and frankly makes me feel like I am waisting my time. Now they have made it even worse where the videos kick you to a web page so you are literally forced to go back and forth before you can close the stupid advertisement. I hate it with a passion. You have incidents sprinkled throughout that show video icons so you have to watch before you can collect those incidents. For events, Inno has made it virtually impossible to get a fully upgraded event building. Noe you need fragments for the last level of buildings. Look at the current event- you have to do all those quests and you used to earn the base for the event building and two levels- now you can earn only one level and you get two dumb portraits. All that work for portraits? They are slapping us in the face with we WANT your MONEY. FOE exists solely to find ways to EXTORT people for THEIR CASH- period!.Version: 1.256.12
✓ Pay a lotThis game has great graphics. It has a lot of potential and it’s great when you’re starting out. But when you hit bronze age or so, (level 3 or 4?) you begin finding that you don’t have the resources to research new skills. Although you may be able to trade for resources the barter rate is *1* resource that you want for 10 resources that you pay/build/create —> it takes four hours to create one resource and when you need 40 to advance it’s just not feasible. I’ve been trying to create / barter / obtain resources to research *one* skill for over two weeks and I’m still nowhere close. Of course you can purchase in-app resources for $4.99 but but you need to make two or three of these purchases and this is only one research topic. There are events you can participate in but cannot complete because you don’t have resources. If you like making in-app purchases two or three times per day and then three to five days a week this is the app for you. If you don’t mind waiting two days to play the game for your resources to build up -And then logging in to click on the next-two day build and then waiting for two days again and again and again -then this is a game for you, but you’re not really playing at that point you’re logging in every two days to click a button and then waiting another two days..Version: 1.192
✓ Lots of issues latelyGreat game, playing for over a year, but lately I have so many issues logging in with Facebook. Can’t get for the last day ! Very frustrating.Version: 1.201
✓ Problème avec l’attrition dans CBGBonjour, je joue depuis quelques années, mais je commence à être ÉCŒURÉ du fameux 80% d’attrition…. Je viens de faire 6 combats et je viens de prendre 4 d’attrition, comment expliquer que j’ai la chance de pogner autant d’attrition en ayant 80% de chance d’avoir aucune attrition??? Nous sommes plusieurs à trouver déplorable ce changement. J’ai mit 3 étoiles pour le reste du jeu, mais le nouveau CBG mérite une demie étoile. 😡.Version: 1.275
✓ Great game but why so expensive?I enjoy playing for free, it’s a great time filler, entertaining and rewarding. I don’t understand why it’s so expensive if you choose to speed things up a little. When you look at the current price of diamonds and how quickly they’re consumed it doesn’t make sense to spend. Also waiting 3.5hrs for a single unit to be trained seems a little lengthy. The times seem quicker in the PC version I noticed. I believe the game would make more by lowering costs to around 10% of what they are currently. Unless people are happy to spend hundreds of dollars when they can buy bigger console games for less..Version: 1.116.4
✓ Boring game.First of all you need to wait days if you want to unlock something or pay up and buy diamonds. Everything is limited and takes ages. Battles are boring. You cant build an army you are limited to 10 or so soldiers in a battle and computer has always better soldiers so you can never win, either wait weeks to unlock or again pay to get diamonds to unlock. Overall I got bored quickly..Version: 1.128.2
✓ Honest but fair reviewFirst off I love build a city / empire kind of games and have played most of them and still do Clash of clans sim city build it crime city etc etc and I have to be honest this game looks pretty and it’s does have a war type section ish but it feels tacked on and is arbitrary the auto fight button gives an auto finish section meaning the style of play you may bring to the war battle is irrelevant it’s just so boring and pointless it costs around 300 coin to produce an army but when you win a area you get 100 coins so It’s not worth playing. Back the the build and upgrade portion of the game it’s pointless it’s little more than click bait there’s nothing to do, example quest build two pots so I go to pottery and click pot and build it takes 15 mins that’s it. Take Township an example quest build 4 hamburgers so I harvest the wheat feed the cow plant toms for the ketchup it’s involved and creating and it’s a detailed but fun way to progress in the game the complete order will gain me money enough to upgrade my tomato field so I can produce more toms etc etc. This game doesn’t do that it has no point rewards are non existent and the buildings just space filler. Your goal is to progress to the next Age which gives you ..............different building to click on. What I will say is it’s free to download and try and my opinions are my own you might enjoy this game. Sadly I didn’t.Version: 1.188
✓ Love the game but the app has bugsThe game is great fun, lots going on in terms of daily tasks and other quests. There are various different tactics to use to further your town. The problem with the app is that sometimes the productions time left won’t continue to count down when I’ve left the app until i force quit it and open it again. But The worst problem though is that it occasionally tries to make in-app purchases for me while I’m out of the app. I’m notified of this when i open the app and it says it couldn’t complete the task, that’s only because I have that turned off in settings, thankfully, or it would just be charging me for things I didn’t agree to purchase..Version: 1.120.3
✓ ProblemWhen I click on research it often freezes my system! Must do full shut down! Not pleased.Version: 1.264.15
✓ BuyingI hate being stuck having to spend real money to get more diamonds. Should be able to earn everything to play. Getting frustrated & bored of it..Version: 1.277.14
✓ MNot the game it used to be !!.Version: 1.269.17
✓ FOE Sold out to the advertising industryShame on you.Version: 1.231.19
✓ New Ads are inappropriateHi Forge of Empires Team This seems to be the only way to contact you, it is very difficult to send an email etc to support particularly through the app. I understand the need for you to create a revenue stream through advertising as I appreciate that I do not need to pay a lot of money to have a good game experience. However, do you review your ads prior to posting? I encountered a highly inappropriate ad that was very demeaning to women through clicking on a chest as I just wanted them removed from my city. Please do a better job of reviewing ads prior to posting. I am disappointed that this kind of advertising was available on your game. It does give me pause about the game and my game play. From a long time female player who loves her downtime playing FOE..Version: 1.233.12
✓ Advertising has become intrusive.I have been playing FOE for a few months now, and have generally enjoyed the experience up until now. As with most civilisation type games, it takes a while to get going, and a while to understand all the elements. FOE is less competitive than any of the mmo civilisation games I have played previously. Game play is always at the individuals level, so you are not constantly being attacked, farmed or robbed of your resources. The flip side of this is that the game is a little less social. You do not need to pay money for diamonds as they are available in the game play as rewards, however the temptation is very strong early in the game and this is when they are most useful. Once you have leveled up 3 ages, the temptation is gone. My main concern with the game is the insertion of advertising which has become quite intrusive. You are essentially being trapped into watching it, and are forced to interact with it to get it off the screen. There are nearly a dozen different triggers for the advertising and some are hard to avoid. It feels like an experiment gone wrong, and if it was there when I first started playing the game, I would have pulled out. I will see how it goes over the next few weeks, but am likely to move on if it continues..Version: 1.237
✓ Don’t Play This GameJust don’t bother getting into it. I don’t want to stop playing because I enjoy getting through all the Ages and I’ve gotten really far....... but it’s an endless frustration. It’s so pay-to-win it’s painful. I can’t afford diamonds, so if they’re needed, I wait until I win them. The community does not respect this play style at all. I was kicked out of a guild (that claimed to be “just for fun, no requirements”) because I didn’t finish more than one level of GE every week. If you invest time and forge points into a Great Building, people sitting on thousands of FPs will swoop in and steal the top spots after you’ve chipped away at it for weeks. While these are player related problems, the bottom line is - other players who spend real world cash WILL take issue with or advantage of players who don’t. I’m far in the game and have a lot of expendable resources, but it’s not possible to advance in the community without diamonds. I’ll continue to play just because I like seeing the Ages progress over time. This is just the nature of the game, so this isn’t really me saying “change the game,” but don’t get into this game (if you want to advance in the rankings) unless you’re willing to drop some serious real world cash. Otherwise, you won’t compete with the many players who do, and it just isn’t a fun experience. So save yourself the trouble and find a different game to play..Version: 1.146.0
✓ Too slow to produce resources-Very fun at the beginning but when you reach the Early Middle Ages everything takes SOooo long to produce that you can do maximum 10 clicks per day. -The daily challenge 90% of the times is impossible to archive because you don’t have the infrastructure to do, so it’s even annoying to open it. -Everything takes so long to produce, that you can’t play ‘war’+’grow city’+’daily challenge’+’competition’ together. You will need to choose, because you will NEVER have resources to play all of them together. -Also,the city is tiny, you can’t dream of Rome, it always remains like a little village because you won’t have resources to get expansions until you reach the future era. In resume, this game doesn’t relax and make you forget, it stresses you more. You can’t dream big with this game, it’s like when you arrive to London and you dream to live in a Victorian house but you have to accept the fact that you can only afford a shared council flat with a dirty flatmate that steals your favourite food..Version: 1.190.17
✓ Needs work.Not enough tutorials at the start to help you understand what's happening, it feels like I'm blindly stumbling though the game not really knowing what I'm doing. I don't like the battle screen, it's like pushing random actions and hoping for a good outcome. It's extremely difficult to re arrange your village with the limited space available. Why can't I remove all buildings to an inventory type thing and place them again from there? Also why can't I rotate buildings to help them fit better? It would be good to queue up troops to train rather than having to go back all the time once one lot is finished an hour later. It's really hard to tell what different troops strengths and weaknesses are. This could be a good game but at the moment it's not a winner for me..Version: 1.98.2
✓ Not much to do…gets greedy quickly…Within 15 minutes you run out of things to do and start getting steered towards using gems to hurry things up or pay for extra items to complete quests unless you want to stare at your screen 5 minutes at a time. There’s seems to be a disproportionate weight in what gems are worth as completing a 24 hour queue costs ~80 gems but a 1 minute queue costs 4 gems. There are better games in this category that can give you hours of activity before pulling the “pay to play” ruse and by that point I’m usually happy to support the devs. Not so much this one….Version: 1.225.15
✓ Stay away!This game preys on your addictive nature and makes sure you pay lots of real money to get the features you really want or need. When I originally started playing it was mostly free to play but lately they’ve been trying very hard to make it necessary to pay $$$ to satisfy the game addiction. They’ve recently introduced video ads in lots of places within the game which means you either have to spend a lot more time each day in the game watching boring ads or you don’t get many of the features you used to. Take my advice and stay away from this game!.Version: 1.252.18
✓ Frustrating on mobileI like games of patience. This one is promising but when I started, my story quests were hindered by an internal error and by the time support fixed it, I was way ahead of the story quests and would have to do them after I already did them, which wastes time and resources. My name and profile seems to be that of an old man. I asked them to change it because I couldn't (it's the first quest) due to the internal error. It wasn't fixed. **update** I'm not stuck on the first quest. I'm stuck on the other quests because by the time the first quest was fixed, I was way ahead and have to basically redo everything I've already done. Like... Build 3 Stilt Houses. Why would I build 3 stilt houses when my population lives in tile roof houses and chalets? I lack the space and my population can't go down as they are all being used for production. Waste of time and resources. Makes it frustrating. I am, however, stuck in progressing in research because of a bug. I've researched and unlocked militia, but the game is saying I need to research it to progress. It also didn't give me the soldier barracks that came with completing the block. That's a serious bug or glitch. I did contact support. We'll see if they are any help..Version: 1.112.1
✓ DisappointedThis seemed like a cool game going threw the different ages I reached the Iron Age and realized creators are way too money hungry everything at some point costs diamonds I needed land to place things it costs 200 diamonds each for the first two which I felt was a little too much but I gave it the benefit of he doubt! I have to admit I spend money on this game but it didn’t last long at all. When I reached Iron Age I got two more slots available using diamonds and only one as free. I thought okay the first two were 200 diamonds each I’ll just purchase 400 diamonds and I’ll get these two nope I was wrong they charged 400 diamonds for one expansion. I’m going back to my other games because I wasted money time and patients on this game and I truely regret it. I have spent money in a games but if the Iron Age is 400 diamonds for one slot next Age is 800 diamonds and so on and so forth. You can’t really get a head without spending real money. I down right hate creators that purposely abuse their creation that could be cool but isn’t because they prefer making money but exploiting people just so people get a head in a game! I feel for it once but not anymore. If I could give 0 stars I would! I’m a person who doesn’t mind a few dollars here or there but I refuse to waste anymore time money or patients on creators and game who take advantage of people to this extreme..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Good game but..Ive been playing this game for a while & had no issues until today. I can’t get into the game. Just asks me to log in but it won’t do anything. I’ve changed my password & it still won’t let me in. I’m going to delete the app & see if reinstalling it changes anything. But if it deletes my game progress then I won’t be continuing to play as I have no interest in starting from scratch again..Version: 1.223.17
✓ HELP!So I went out of the game and then when i went back and pressed continue playing as guest it saids incorrect player name it also does the same when i try Game Center.Version: 1.170.1
✓ Basic Game is Great, Battlegrounds Ruined ItThe basic game is fun, strategic, addictive. But the developers added an element called Battlegrounds which gives rewards and player ranking points for fighting or negotiating. It is a map of tiles that reset every 4 hours and each session runs for 10 days with 3 days off in between. Every session the 2 strongest guilds of the 8 dominate the map and “porch” the other 6 so they don’t get to play, get rewards or points. It is a poorly designed part of the game that the top 5% get to play and gain from. It has ruined the game. Lots of complaints about it. Many, including myself play less or quit playing because of Battlegrounds. It is not a level playing field, frustrating and ruining the game. Brings out the rude and nasty side of people. Too bad. This was a great game that was competitive, fun and I used to recommend. There are many glitches in the game that cause it to shut down when you try to fight. Inno is very slow to fix problems or communicate regarding them. One server, Vingrid, has been barely playable for over a week with no communication and no fix. Guess the developers are too busy working on even more money grabs and gimmicks.Version: 1.250
✓ Top GameBeen playing yrs,best thing thing is you can spend as much time or not as you want each day ,few mins or hrs,always something to do,never had a bug or crash and if you have a few worlds all the diamonds are to your account instead of one world meaning you can use them on which world you want,made some purchases without trouble but nothing excessive,you don’t have to pay to win with this game, First play I sped through the empires and missed half the play,best to go steady and get the full play,got a fast and a slow world to compare and see what’s coming Played numerous games but always stick to this so 5 stars from me,now just been ruined by ads.Version: 1.252.18
✓ Forge of EmpiresGame is boring. It’s basically a point/click/waiting game. And you do a lot of waiting to the point where you ask yourself “Am I even playing a game?” There’s no daily freebie for logging in to play. Scenery, landscapes, color in the game are dull. They do have what they call “incidents”, which are but randomly throughout the game, but you have to look everywhere, and look hard because they blend in too much with the rest of the scenery. What gets me most is you can’t expand your territory, and when you can’t expand you can’t put up buildings, and when you can’t put up buildings you can’t build, almost like you’re stuck in a corner. Then there are the challenges. You can’t fulfill them because you don’t have the buildings to build, and the reason you don’t have the buildings to build is because you don’t have the ability to expand your territory. These challenges should only be at the level you’re at, or with the resources you currently have to fulfill them. So again you’re in a corner and you can’t do anything. And the production buildings. Come on! I can only make one product at a time and it takes way too long. If the programmers are reading this “How do you earn diamonds and medals to expand your territory?”.Version: 1.119.1
✓ Change isn’t always goodI’ve been playing FoE for 7 years now. I used to LOVE this game but in the last year INNO seems to be more focused on making this a rich persons game. They rarely do diamond discounts anymore, quest rewards during events are getting minuscule so if you want to get event buildings you need to use diamonds, GE only gives you diamonds during a blue moon and the kicker…GBG diamonds increased 40% but even though they said diamonds would not show up as much but given the increase we’d still collect the same amount of diamonds they grievously exaggerated!!! If you do 500 battles you can count yourself lucky to get diamonds twice at best. As if these changes and the plethora of ads weren’t enough to put a sour taste in your mouth INNO did an upgrade to their servers 6 months ago or so. Sure! Then why is there a MAJOR lag within 5 minutes of the push for GBG that never used to happen before their upgrade?! I do love this game but at this point I play more for the connection of friends I’ve made in FoE. I’m hoping that some day INNO will start listening to people’s concerns rather than just pushing out changes regardless of what people say about them in beta 😢.Version: 1.267
✓ Not happy with Welcome Back quest lineI’ve returned to foe last week and I’m not very happy with the Welcome Back quest line. The rewards are quite good, but it’s not right that it takes away the slot for the Daily Challenges. I was trying to rush to get through the quest line so I could get the Daily Challenges, but I was stuck waiting each day for a new quest to reset. Now I’m finally on the last quest, but it’s forcing me to research a technology, which means I have to advance eras prematurely when I’m not ready to… will be a big disadvantage for me. I can’t abort the quest line to get daily challenges back and there is no alternative to the research quest. I submitted a support case and there’s nothing they can do. Not a great experience for me returning to the game..Version: 1.277.14
✓ Forge of empires, meh.I like the game when playing on my iPhone. Problem is I can’t play in the Guild vrs Guild system. Which is far superior to the lame Guild Battle Grounds. I would leave for another game in a heartbeat..Version: 1.271
✓ Adverts ruining gameplayI’ve been playing FoE for around 3 years and have absolutely loved it. However, the recent addition of adverts has really ruined gameplay for me. I understand that a game of this complexity needs proper funding but we already had a large number of purchasable items. (Diamonds, packages etc.). I’m not adverse to viewing the occasions advert but I find all the incident adverts and the pub adverts get in the way of what was most enjoyable about this game. For me I always appreciated feeling that I’d completely my tasks for the day within the game and it was part of my routine. Now I have to either view adverts or leave items uncompleted which takes away a huge level of what was satisfying about the game. Many of us don’t have the time to watch multiple adverts. I do love this game but please, please try and find a less clumsy way to monetise gameplay. Thank you..Version: 1.231.20
✓ Will not downloadI have no time for games.that are setup to steal money from people’s pockets.... haven’t played this game, but well aware of the full intent of the developers!!!! Shame on you!!!.Version: 1.160.1
✓ Inno is one of the worst companies.This game would be great if the company wouldn’t be complacent in letting players be thieves and plunder others to get ahead. Inno’s only solution is to either play more often so you’re not plundered or set up better defenders. Effectively making it seem like a penalty and the player’s fault for not playing enough. I see you, Inno. Get your act together..Version: 1.155.2
✓ Slow progressThis game would be great if it didn't take so long to do anything. Getting coins (which are needed for every thing) is painfully slow. Researching to get better troops is slow. Training troops takes hours, The attacking is slow. You can't get free diamonds. I don't normally do reviews, but the game maker needs to know the frustration..Version: 1.33.0
✓ Recent changes decreasing quality of life.This used to be easily my favourite game and was an incredible experience and a lot of fun with the right guild, within the last year however the game has gone downhill. The ads were a disappointing addition however were done well to not be too intrusive. Since then however, more costly tiers have been added to event rewards giving even greater advantage to those willing to spend large amounts of money, the new event buildings are massively better than any old event structures making many old ones redundant until they eventually get an upgrade which you will likely need to pay 30 quid for. The recent events are also much more tedious and require a lot more micromanagement and aren't as enjoyable as previous ones. The recent UI change of hiding quests inside with just the one profile on the left doesn't improve the UI except confuse players and lead them to focus less on daily and event quests as they have a less obvious reminder visible. You really need to slow down on chasing the money or you will lose large amounts of regular players..Version: 1.263.17
✓ Pay to play gameIt’s a pay to play game, could have been great but there are items that diamonds and you gotta pay $$$ for diamonds. (Ofc they’re the best items).Version: 1.275
✓ HookedLove the game I don’t normally play games with battles but the information said it was a choice between fighting or negotiations, that is not completely true as to negotiate you need lots of goods like everything else in this game. I have tried to fight by auto attack but I usually loose. It’s a big learning curve for anyone that has not ever battled turn for turn. Just learning the advantages of each army type is hard as there are no instructions, I have read everything I can find and watched Ytube. Even the videos are for people that have previously had fight experience. Apart from that I love it, I only hope that the fighting stops me playing..Version: 1.144.1
✓ Greedy, no integrity developers and game ownerThis game is free to play and diamonds speed up the game and give you more power and even though you can play the game without diamonds, when you get sucked into buying diamonds (which you will) you need to be careful because this game is specifically designed to steel your diamonds which cost a lot of money to buy. They do this by far placing the “spend diamond” button on the areas on the screen where you are most likely to accidentally press it, often a spend diamond pop comes up under your finger when building structures, and not like they charge you 5 diamonds to finish a 5m task, they would charge 500 diamonds, which costs $70 to buy..Version: 1.167.2
✓ Just another “free” gameLike all the other 1 star reviews I have encountered all the same problems with this game. It does start off really good, but as you progress the game get almost impossible to do anything because you are moved to new neighborhoods with players at levels much higher the yours. If you don’t spend money to buy diamonds your progression will be unbearably long. I get attacked over 6 times a day by players at higher levels and they steal you production items. I asked the developer about how I keep getting attacked by higher level players and got a generic response of how I should collect my items right when they are done with production. Somehow player know to attack within 5 minutes of production being completed. Fair warning that this game is far from free even though the developer says it is possible with out spending money. Getting attacked constantly is frustrating enough to make you want to purchase the upgrade. Note to developer no need to write a response because I know how to contact you and your answer is already noted above. I know I can purchase city shields to stop the attacks. Now let’s see what kind of generic response the developer can come up with as to how they can solve all the above problems..Version: 1.133.1
✓ Crashing more now I’m advancingI used to love this game, I’ve made it to the Arctic Future without spending anything but time on it, but now it crashes constantly, like every minute or so and can’t even play the specials because of it..Version: 1.231.20
✓ Great apart from the plunderingThis game is fantastic in many ways. I’ve invested hours of my time over several months, in developing my city, my knowledge, my territory, my friends and supporting my guild. Great that it’s free if you’re patient. But I’m quitting because I’m really frustrated about the plundering. Other players can fight you and steal you your stuff. You can only do so much to prevent it, especially if they are from a more advanced era. That would be ok once in a while, but the game allows the same opponent to plunder you every day. It feels like being bullied and should be prevented by the developers. If some limits are introduced, I would happily play again, but for now, I’m out..Version: 1.224.16
✓ Unethical developersUnethical treatment from game manager.Version: 1.136.3
✓ Ok game untilThe game is somewhat fun until you get to a certain age and are attacked and looted incessantly by man children who won’t level because they’re so large they can attacked anyone and plunder them without fear of retailing. The game caters to this. There is no requirement to level up so these people sit there and make themselves rich and you miserable on a daily basis and the developers love this. It’s like you high school football team having to play multiple NFL teams everyday. And their wonderful response to this will be “you can get a shield” which means you have to spend over a week collecting “visits” to your tavern from 80 or more friends on a daily basis for the pleasure of being left alone for a few days. Or pick up your loot on time which turns you into an anxiety ridden mess setting alarms and stopping whatever the thing you’re doing in real life because they allow some over grown a holes with no lives of their own to constantly feed off you instead of enforcing them to level and take on people at their own level. This is a constant theme of all their games and I’m extremely tired of them..Version: 1.138.0
✓ Frustrating more than funI really thought this would be a fun game. At first it is, but quickly turns to frustration. You never have enough room for things you need, and buildings don’t turn to better arrange. Their excuse for that is that it makes it more of a puzzle and that they would have to do too much work to make them turn. Everything starts to take so much to upgrade that you get stuck waiting for resources way too early on, and people do not offer fair trades at all. I finally drew the line at a requirement of many diamonds (200 I think), which you would have to buy, to do the next building upgrade. Some things that would make it better are actually upgrading buildings instead of selling and rebuilding every time, and an adjustment of how much is needed versus how much is offered in the game. This isn’t a game you can continuously play, you have to put it down-seems counter intuitive to me if you are trying to make a hit game... Also, last note, the fighting is fun but it take 2 hours to ‘recruit’ new fighters, and can only do one at a time for each type, so takes a day to build enough troops! One fight a day is no fun! I hope they put more work in and recalibrate, the idea is fun, just too frustrating..Version: 1.136.3
✓ My account has disappeared, help!I understand this issue is probably at my own fault partially as I was playing set as guest and not registered just while I was trialing to see if this was the game for me, been playing for around 2 weeks and managed to get to the third age stage however after not logging in for 2 days I returned to find the Home Screen and unfortunately no way of getting back on to my existing world, unsure if this could be recoverable but I am hopeful, checked servers to see if the issue was found there but no success, great game with lots to do and definitely a game that gives you constant feeling of progression whether f2p or the ability to fund additional growth. If support is able to be provided I would be more than interested to continue playing. Thanks..Version: 1.221.19
✓ CrashesWay too much waiting for things to happen. But mostly enjoyed it until newest update. Freezes when opening on iPad Air. If not fixed in the next few days, it will find its way into the app abyss..Version: 1.152.2
✓ Was Fun At FirstUnfortunately, this game is designed to force you to spend real money to succeed. Mind you, on almost every game I play that has a store, I drop money because I love supporting the devs. But to me there is a difference between choosing to support at my own pace and being halted in all progress unless I pay to continue. In this case, I am at a complete standstill unless I drop cash to buy supplies. I have to weave cloth to proceed with research to get a better army. But ... catch 22 ... I need a better army to defend my cloth. It takes 2 days to make the cloth I need and before that 2 days is up that is the one resource that keeps getting plundered. This is because others can tell where your research tree is at and what you are working on and successfully block you from proceeding by pillaging your most needed resource. So, even after dropping a couple of hundred bucks into this game, I am calling it quits because even that amount of cash wasn’t enough to let me slide in and just enjoy building a city. Kind of hard to defend your resources when you need those resources to create what you need to defend them. The research tree is designed for only veteran players to make sure newer players never make it past the early Middle Ages. Back to Elvenar for me, I suppose..Version: 1.167.2
✓ In-Game Expansion Costs Real MoneyI like games that allow me to construct kingdoms and civilizations, so I thought this game would be fun. It started out pretty fun, and my empire advanced in technology relatively quickly. However, you get to a point relatively soon (the Bronze Age, I believe) where the only way to expand buildable space is to purchase diamonds (with real money) which you then use buy land to expand on. There are very limited expansions you can use the in-game currency to purchase, even though building in-game currency happens quickly. And victory and research progress provides very little land expansion. Which brings me to a second issue that ties into the land expansion problem. In order to progress through time, you have to conduct research. This involves a combination of spending points that automatically accrue, production, and in-game coin. One concept to developing new research requires a number of different productions (e.g. dye and masonry). The problem is you don’t have enough land to construct these buildings to produce the goods you need to advance the research. And you also need available population, which can only be expanded by building more residences on land that you don’t have. See where I’m going with this? The game is ok at best, unless you have real money you want to sink into it. As a passive Smartphone gamer, it is very rare that I spend any real money on a game. And when I do it is only $0.99. I plan to delete the game..Version: 1.156.4
✓ Don’t bother complaining to devs... they do nothingI have been playing this for a year now... I’m hooked. The game itself is great, the social aspect is the best part about it when you find the right guild. However, devs do absolutely nothing when you report abuse or bullying behaviour. If they actually communicated with you to explain what they were doing with your complaint (even if it didn’t go anywhere), I would give this a much higher rating, but they don’t. There is a disclaimer saying that the complainant will not hear back about the outcome of any investigation for privacy reasons... cop out? If there is an investigation into harassment from another player, both players SHOULD be informed of the investigation and outcome - you play under avatars, so really, your ‘real life’ information from the other player is protected from the other player anyway! Sort it out Inno..Version: 1.128.2
✓ Broken endgamePromising game with great music, graphics, and design. Frequent events with fun rewards that are manageable if you're a free-to-play player. The devs have clearly worked very hard on their product. Unfortunately, once you reach the contemporary era the game is completely unplayable for free players. PvP is forced on and there's no shield for getting raided; I have screenshots of 10 raids in a single day on my base (and each raid allows a player to loot your production buildings, preventing you from looting them yourself). Pay players will frequently attack you with armies that are 200% boosted by premium bases, using one troop 3-4 ages ahead of yours and 7 rogues (poorly balanced unit that automatically copies another unit in your army when it's attacked). Basically, there's no defense for free players against getting raided back to back with armies that are ages ahead of theirs and three times as boosted until all of their buildings are unusable. This happened basically every day for a month or two until I had to stop playing. Looking forward to a potential fix in the future because the game was otherwise designed with a lot of love..Version: 1.150.1
✓ St Patrick’s day eventI’m sorry great game but why the hell is the levelling amount and the output amount unbalanced for the festival an cargo ship it will take the whole 20 days just to get to the next town figured its another pay to win scheme, need to look at that if you want people who actually like to grind an enjoy this game but your wasting your time with these events really. With all the previous events are stupid give out these special buildings to those that play just for them to miss the last upgrade levels of those buildings because they didn’t spend money on them that is absolutely stupid why can’t their be a game we’re you play for fun not pay for fun great game creators…👎.Version: 1.250
✓ Did not pay outIf you a playing this game from a money app it doesn’t pay out.Version: 1.231.20
✓ Good but now stuckIts starts off good, although guidance and challenges are behind one’s play. Not very good guidance from the start. So one spends the diamonds, not realising other than buying them for real money, there no way to replace or add to them. Although one can progress through the era’s, you eventually get stuck as need enough diamonds to open the technology. And if you can’t open the technology then you can’t research further technology so all you can do is collect coins and anything you can produce at the time, but you can’t use the market, purchase more land to expand and build more to develop society. In fact the original pc trial version although limited was better. As least you could complete a game. Unless something changes, I think I will be deleting the app..Version: 1.245
✓ Huge Disappointment/Poorly DesignedIf you believe in playing a game that is fun, fair and enjoyable, skip this game! I started playing this game 18 months ago, only to discover some major design flaws. This game requires you to obtain blueprints towards gaining a Great Building, which provides you with different benefits. You are required to obtain 9 blueprints to build a Great Building. Often, you will get to a point where you are down to 8 of those blueprints and then start gaining multiples of the same one, where at that point you can choose to trade those multiples towards a “random chance” to obtain the one you are missing...Only problem is, the “random blueprint selector” feature rarely gives you the actual blueprint you need to finish the set of 9 required. So you end up spending days, weeks, even months of effort in saving up Forge Points to put down towards more blueprints, only to be held back over and over again by the “random blueprint trade” selection process! This “random” process really really takes a huge effort to get by, and just really makes it frustrating to say the least. Eventually you realize it’s no longer any fun to play a game that relies upon a “random selection” process. Progress is obstructed over and over...then the fun is gone...all that’s left is frustration because it inevitably just begins to feel like an entirely futile process altogether....is that really fun? Make a better choice, I wished now I had! What a waste of time!!!!.Version: 1.163.0
✓ HORRIBLE SUPPORTThe game is a ton of fun while you can play it. I got banned because they claimed my kids were feeding me and avoiding the rest of the game. I have 5 kids who can verify different; we made in game trades for goods, blueprints, and forge points that were fair and according to the rules. They donated about 5k forge points and i gave them about 1k forge points back along with over 10k goods for a bunch of different ages. The rules are not based on actual facts, but rather the opinion of any given moderator at any given time. This is unfortunate, but ohh well. I would have given 1 star because of support, but the game is really fun. Update: well as expected there was no change even after they wasted my time. They should have just dropped it with my post. My kids wanted to keep playing but they wont unban them as they stated they are “only in iron age and it wont take them long to get back.” 3 of them had arcs and a few terrace farms. I don’t think the support people know how to play their own game. It took my kids 3-6months to get all the bps and it took me another month to donate fps to get the goods for them. The support is laughable at best. Lowering my stars to 1 for the way they treated my kids and will have my 2 older leave a review..Version: 1.120.2
✓ DiabolicalHave been playing this casually since mid autumn last year, pros are minimal....good graphics possibly in terms of detail. But this is where it stops, the game play is terrible and once a building has been built unlike a game such as clash where you can remove all and reposition with this game you have limited ability to move your town around. Then we look at the actual play and unless you are willing to part with a lot of money to buy crystals then you will not get far at a reasonable pace. In the end you become bored and frustrated. Finally I contacted support with an idea of changing weathers or night time mode so you can see the town with street lights etc. I was told quite clearly and rudely any ideas I had were not really welcome as the game has its own design and they will not deviate. Nice to know they are honest in their thoughts about us mere mortal players, how dare we have ideas and mess with the system......idiots Just glad I never parted with my hard earned cash. FOE might want to see how Clash of clans do it as they managed to impress me enough to pay some real money..Version: 1.119.1
✓ It ain’t no Sid Meier’s Civilization…Forge of Nations is a skin of a strategy game. The roadblocks you overcome are more about pushing you to purchase resources than any considered gameplay rationale. Not being able to queue production orders is one aspect of this. Quests that require you to reduce population- knocking down housing you’ve already paid for is another. Limited city sizes to build or the inability to rotate buildings is another subtle scam pushing you to more in game purchases. It is essentially Cookie Clicker in a strategy skin. It wasn’t so long ago that purchasing a game gave you an even playing field on which to fully explore that game. You owned the game. Now, game companies see players as renters rather than partners, to be farmed for cash. Another example of how boomers have left the world a worse place for future generations than the one they had..Version: 1.207
✓ Take heed if femaleI’ve been playing the game for several years and it’s a great strategy game. The beauty of foe is that there are many ways to the top and you can choose different ways to get there. However, a word of warning to all female players. Foe has a very male dominated culture with much ego stroking and chest beating. You will never be taken seriously no matter how far you advance and you will be largely ignored. You will always be seen as subordinate to the male players. Otherwise, enjoy the game but hold your own and don’t expect too much unless you want to be an adjunct to the male ego..Version: 1.183
✓ What to do??Well - I have never had a go at a game like this before and now I know why 😂 I absolutely haven’t a clue what I am meant to be doing! Why isn’t there a ‘How to Play’ guide? Or ‘Hints’ that pop up if it is obvious someone doesn’t know what to do? Some of the instructions in the little description boxes for things make no sense to me. I’m stuck in the first bit (Bronze Age?) having built a few huts and stilt houses etc, and can’t seem to do anything else. I keep collecting coins but can’t do anything with them. Reviews say you don’t need to buy diamonds in order to play - but the only things that seem to be available for me to do require diamonds to do them. I don’t know how you build more roads?? I’ve put a few Trails in but seem to be stuck within a grid and can’t build anything else. And the font size (playing on an iPhone 11Pro) is SO tiny it’s almost impossible to read - most of the icons are too tiny to see what they are. I’m sure those who have hours and hours to spare to spend playing these things probably get to work out what they’re meant to do eventually. I wouldn’t even know what questions to ask, so will have to give up 🤷♀️.Version: 1.185.16
✓ Played for 6yrsThe in game community is great. Playing was fun across multiple worlds. It takes a good year to actually get the game play going to a good pace that keeps you engaged. There are no real instructions and you will have to rely on other players-if friendly-to learn the general gameplay or strategies. The game play is extremely redundant and as you age up, the amounts paid out or receive just moved up a little. Nothing really changes. The events are repetitive-year after year. Recently, INNO changed a few of the payouts for diamonds, costs for utilizing diamonds and have flooded the different areas with selectable ads. While you can play without selecting the ads-it’s a bit of a nuisance and demonstrates a growing focus on generating money and not enhancing fluid gameplay. The diamond payout ratio has been lowered where you will have difficulty replenishing diamonds between events forcing you to consider spending real world dollars on game currency. They upgraded general expedition recently, lowering the diamond payouts and increasing what you need to complete it. Again, another subtle siphon ploy to reduce you levels and force you to lean more towards using real world currency. I’ll be leaving the game in the next week..Version: 1.256.12
✓ Steal money! Don’t downloadI’ve been using this game for a while now and the first time I’ve ever purchased a small amount of diamonds it all goes wrong. I purchased $4.50 worth of 115 diamonds for the first time since using the game. The diamonds never came.... I received an email from iTunes provided me with a receipt, the money was taken out of my account.... still no diamonds. I thought I would contact support to see what they could do, turns out not much. They stated on their system I received the diamonds and that I spent it already buying two resources that would cost 100! So I asked them well if I was meant to received 115 diamonds and supposedly I had spent it on these resources then why don’t I have an extra 15 left over. They also stated on their records that I had purchased a second amount of diamonds, which I told them I hadn’t received either an invoice or the money come out of my account so this was wrong. So why couldn’t their system be wrong about it not giving me the diamonds that I was owed. At the end of the day I know it’s only a small amount of money and it’s not worth all this drama but just a warning to people who want to download this app or purchase any diamonds from them, you have been warned!! They will happily steal your money and not think twice about it. Bunch of thieves..Version: 1.170.1
✓ Better reconstruction mechanics requiredAdore the game I probably log on about 4 times a day, loving the saint patties days event, it’s really helping me move up quickly in the game!! wich I love I’ve had the game for like 4 days and I’m already on the Iron Age! not certain if that’s fast or not. I just thought it would’ve taken longer but I’m pleased to say it didn’t. but to the point of the review, I gave the game 3 stars in hopes it would catch an eye of a developer. Obviously, the way your empire is arranged is very important to the game I learned that day one. But to move buildings around to try to change your empire for the better it takes a significant amount of space, a feature to where you can move all your buildings into your inventory and start from scratch on your empire would really help the player move buildings to where I want them to be an overall redesign his or her empire for the better! And I’m my own opinion make the game 5 stars worth of fun! If this gets a response from a developer not only will it prove that y’all listen to players but I will change my rating :).Version: 1.172.1
✓ FOEGreat game. Very creative and you can decide your own style of play. Very addictive, be careful;).Version: 1.192
✓ OkThe game is ok, second time if downloaded but like the first time I’ve gave up playing, you can switch building from side to side to fix them into spaces so continuous moving the town around has to happen, forge points take ages and are gone within seconds, doing the tasks are quite quick but once finished and it opens up new buildings you can’t add them cause of low resources, which take ages to get. Can’t delete homes and add buildings you want because of population control which is odd. Rather disappointing tbh, the game isn’t just slow but extremely unproductive So have to leave it for a whole day to play for a quick 30 mins to then leave for another whole day..Version: 1.193.16
✓ Free to download, not free to playI have played this game a month or so and I always wait a bit to write a review. I was forced to write this review because this game ai has decided I needed to write something great about this game or give feedback. So to be transparent, this is what I submitted in my ticket to support.// This game is not free to play, maybe free to download but definitely not free to play. This game has many trips and falls all designed to get you to purchase diamonds in order to advance (let’s be realistic, its pay to play). This is not a strategy game, this is a build game of which I now feel hostage to do bi-daily maintenance on in order to not be plundered by much bigger opponents. Also, I cannot even do or complete daily events without being forced to use diamonds. I also cannot battle without using diamonds to replenish troops loses, unless I prefer to wait a tremendous amount of time to so-called play for free. I honestly believe this game is boring! I have played many mobile games through the years and this is the worst game I have played. I don’t see mayself playing this game much longer. Also, do I really need to have 10 plus accounts just to play 1 solid account and be able to advance in this game? I don’t think I do..Version: 1.151.1
✓ Don’t play if you use mobile deviceFirst of all, this game is past its prime. Other games have more graphics and better game play. Even long time users are dropping out at an alarming rate. It used to be about offering a great game but now it’s all about how much money they can get from you. Originally, it was advertised as a game where you could farm or fight. That’s no longer true. You must fight or have everything stolen from you. And the fighting isn’t fair because attack (red swords and shields) are used against city defense (blue swords and shields) and you can never get enough blue to protect yourself. What’s fair about that? Mobile users beware - you will not get the same game as PC users. A major part of the game, GVG, is not on the mobile platform. Also, mobile players are forced to watch ads for the same rewards that PC players get for free. You can’t get the reward without watching the ad (unless you pay for a monthly subscription, of course) when ads are not available- a common occurrence. Many longtime players use bots to gain huge advantages but Inno does little to nothing to stop them. Suggestions for improvements are ignored and bug reports come back with the same message EVERY TIME - delete the game and reinstall. Of course, it doesn’t fix their coding errors and then you get a message that this is a known error after you’ve messed up your settings by deleting the app. Pass on this game. It’s not worth your time..Version: 1.254
✓ Very slowGame is put together well plays smooth..... but it's very boring about 10 mins of playing ran out of things to do then wait for hour for 1 research point oh and almost everything takes at least 5 research points..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Disappointing supportThe game is very absorbing but has it's problems. I'm a member of a guild in which 12.5% of players do not have access to the "Daily Challenge" feature which puts them at a huge disadvantage. The support for this states that it may be fixed at sometime. The game requires frequent in-app purchases but these sometimes fail and can take as much as a week to resolve because the player must provide the iTunes transaction ID from the weekly billing despite the game issuing it's own warning that the transaction has failed. On the whole, good game but a little costly and support could be better..Version: 1.114.1
✓ Very poor on phone - and can’t even raise supportThe phone app is really bad. Used to be ok but now almost impossible to play on the phone. Two examples this week: 1. The guild battlegrounds is a key feature of the game but the game often freezes up, kicks you off, and locks you out of battle fields or lag is so bad you can’t actually participate. 2. Can’t scroll up in the guild threads - just starts going haywire. I put in support ticket on the scrambling guild threads and response was that they know it’s a problem and not sure when it will be fixed. Unable to even put in a support ticket on the jamming ..Version: 1.211.19
✓ It had so much potentialI have tried twice now to get into this game because the concept is amazing. But you learn very quick that it is next to impossible to progress without spending real money on the game. Without paying you really can only play once a day when your productions are done and build 1-2 small cottages, when it reality you need much more. If you have the time and patience you can progress over years but for casual gaming its a catastrophic let down..Version: 1.152.0
✓ Unusable nowMultiple updates later and this game is still unusable as it crashes as soon as the splash screen appears. DON'T UPDATE!!!.Version: 1.240
✓ I Hate AdsThis used to be my go-to game but not anymore. I really enjoyed the challenge and excitement of playing. I actually was active in 2 worlds. Went on holiday and when I returned to the game the ads appeared. As I had said, I hate ads. I had spent a fair amount of money building and enjoying this game but I guess the temptation was too great for the developer to turn down the ad sales. I was on the fence for the longest time whether I would continue or not. I have decided not to continue and have had no feedback from the developer that they miss me so….. I will also say that I miss the in game chat with other members in my worlds. If you don’t mind the ads it is a great game..Version: 1.263.21
✓ Fun game to playI really enjoy playing this game. Since iOS 13, however, the app lose its connection and requires me to close it and reopen it again. This is specifically annoying when I start producing something in the settlement and the timer does not start until I close/reopen the app and go to the settlement again. I’ve lost a few hours because of this. Hopefully gets fixed in a future revision. But overall, I really like playing this game..Version: 1.162.2
✓ WAS my favourite game for 5 yearsOperative word WAS…..now game crashes or locks up at least one day per week for multiple hours requiring user to delete and reload multiple times before it actually works again…for about a week ( or until next game update). Problems have worsened since the developers decided to insert advertisements into the game. Disappointing as I used to enjoy the game….wasting about 3 hours per day on gameplay…😎 A new week…and oh surprise surprise….the game crashes repeatedly requiring delete reload multiple times. Get your act together Inno Another week and yet again must delete the app and reload. I think I spend more time waiting for the game to load or re installing it than actually playing the game. Update…..still crashes all the time. The more money the developers try to squeeze from players the more the game crashes..Version: 1.276.15
✓ Fed upYour game is very poor it is difficult to progress without purchasing, so I think it should be blacklisted as not worth the effort I won’t be back.Version: 1.165.0
✓ Decent enough; broken in-app purchasesWhile the game play is reasonable, and depth of play does bring a player back repeatedly, there is a significant flaw in the in-app purchases. Multiple purchases failed, despite being charged for them, and required days of follow up with the support team to get resolved. Getting refunds for inappropriate charges proved impossible. Even getting what I thought I had purchased was hit and miss even after challenging support. Basically; play without buying anything..Version: 1.90.1
✓ Ruined by developers.I’ll keep this short. FOE used to be great and a game you could play all day. Unfortunately the developers recently changed the GBG (fighting) portion of the game. Which used to require strategy with people working together 24 hours a day and was fun, stressfull 😂 but hugely rewarding if you were able to put the time in. Now due to the removal of 100% attrition reduction, I can play GBG for 20 minutes then I’m done for the rest of the day, as my attrition is maxed out and I cannot fight any more….. Oh dear Inno what have you done. You have broken what was a awesome game. I am now looking for replacement after many years of fun. I should thank you for that. But hope you listen to us and change it back many people have invested thousands of hours into their fighting cities which you have overnight made almost irrelevant. Please change it back and I will again give you 4 stars. Not 5 because of the amount of glitches after your updates. Xx.Version: 1.271
✓ Use to be fun but lost its wayI started playing this game very early on (before great buildings) what drew me to it was the city building and the strategic fighting, and history aspect. It’s not designed to be a fast game but one that takes months and years. It’s also nicely balanced in that it’s not pay to win just pay to decrease time taken, because you can invest time into diamond farms and never need to buy any but still generate a continual substantial supply. The Game use to have a whole deeper layer in that their were multiple ways to play and be successful. However inno has since lost their way. Now every city is just a attack boosting city and all you do is just auto fight. GBG is just a tile swapping snooze fest. There is very little left in the game that has the initial spark of greatness. I hope the developers wake up and fix this because I love aspects of the game so much and it’s just had too much power creep, and trying to be like other fighting city builder games and lost its unique ness in regards to trying to maximize the put of your city and still balance goods FP and units and boosts. The developer always talks about wanting to listen to the community but they have not actually addressed issues held by majority of players that were brought up years ago in their own forums..Version: 1.218
✓ Good game spoilt by dishonestyAn enjoyable game it is a shame that it is spoilt by misleading and dishonest descriptions and definitions..Version: 1.137.1
✓ Warning.This more warning to people thinking they are playing free to play game and have the same advantage when coming against a pay to win or hacker. And support team doesn’t care or want to address the problem. So if you enjoy your base getting raided by following enjoy the game After playing game for two years I noticed a players hacking. And ask support for help they say that player is not hacking. After giving proof of what was happening they said no this is done by gems and being active the person who this person in early middle Age and had 300% more dmg attack defence. to units. So it’s more of a pay to win game it seems even though they promote it to be free. And looking at the players base they had a lot of building maxed lvl 67/67 So if you enjoy your base getting raided you may not notice till colonial age and above. Aless you enjoy spending stupid amount of money on gems prices pretty steep too. by following enjoy the game.Version: 1.141.0
✓ BuggyThe game seems to have continual bugs, currently it is freezing constantly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without any luck. I’d be happy to play but the constant freezing/bugs is too much..Version: 1.263.17
✓ Many changes in the gameI have been playing for a long time. I find the game has become a bit like a chore, just lots and lots repetitive things to do witch become tedious and takes the fun out of the game. Of course game has expanded a lot witch is fun but the space Inno gives does not follow suit so when your a high level player its less fun as you can’t build as one would like. Changes in GE have been good, GBG some is good but fighting has become a chore with having to change your army all the time, it becomes boring having to always change it and time consuming for nothing. Too bad they are removing GVG, its one part of the game that actually offers more strategy.Version: 1.268
✓ Good but needs a few changesGame could definitely do with some kind of pacifist mode. Sick of getting attacked repeatedly by the same people when I have no interest in any kind of PVP. Maybe an option that makes it so you can’t get attacked if you haven’t attacked someone else in a certain amount of days would be nice. Also, an option to see when someone was last active would be helpful. As a guild leader, it makes it really difficult to keep track of active members when it only tells me if they’ve been inactive for 7 days or more..Version: 1.138.0
✓ To many AdvertisementsThe game now has too many Advertisements that you have to watch to get certain rewards . Some you have to go “ Done “ about 20 plus times to get your reward but I think that has been fixed now . Lots of other games have advertisements but this game has ten times more..Version: 1.239
✓ The grumblings of a 4 year playerThe city building aspect is quite fun - the social/online aspect is a problem: The game is full of old people with no ambition or energy left. New players are tediously and incessantly told to level up their Arc to level 80, without being given a reason why, which turns off alot of new players. No one wants to actually fight eachother in Guild Battlegrounds - all anyone wants to do is farm/sector swap. No one wants to fight eachother in Guild vs Guild. The world I'm playing in (Noarsil) is run by about 5 greedy guilds who all cooperate with eachother to push away all the other guilds to maximise their already high forge point income. Guild Battlegrounds could be a fun part of the game if it wasn't ruined by greedy, tedious nerds. The game is also becoming more pay to win but I can't be bothered to go into that..Version: 1.264.15
✓ Communauté stressante et aucun plaisirJe jouais au jeu depuis environ 2-3 mois. Premièrement, pour pouvoir jouer et avancer, il faut avoir une guilde pour les ressources. Deuxièmement, tu dois être toujours actif pour qu'ils te gardent dans leur guilde donc le jeu devient vite addictif et tu as constamment une pression sur le dos ou sinon ils te menancent. Ceci ne devenait même plus amusant mais ceci devenait que de la pression inutile. Bref, si vous n'allez pas à l'école ou ne travaillez pas ou que vous n'ayez aucune préoccupation autre que de jouer à ce jeu sans plaisir. Je vous conseille de l'installer. Dans le cas contraire, abstenez-vous parce que vous allez en baver... Voici mon expérience personnel du jeu..Version: 1.110.3
✓ A good game, but.. (devs please read)The game itself is pretty fun considering it’s a “wait-timer” game, but my biggest problem with it (and i’m certain most people will agree) is the happiness % meter. Can you please just remove this feature? All it does is waste coins, time and space. My village currently has over 25 spaces taken up by happiness objects and yet i’m still at 50%. It makes me worried about what the end-game would look like, probably over 100x100 spaces full of them. Can you please just remove the meter entirely and leave bushes and such as a purely design-based item? Use them to make your village look nice, but don’t make them mandatory. If it were removed, i’d rate this a 4.5 without a doubt.Version: 1.186
✓ Too pushy in the tutorial phaseFirst of all, let me say, the art is gorgeous. However, the interfaces cheapen the beautiful art & make it feel cheap and cheesy like standing in a fluorescent tube lit blue collar grocery store check out line among the screaming yellow candy wrappers & celebrity gossip rags. Maybe both of these things make a certain kind of person feel safe & reassured. Maybe the cartoonish childishness of the buttons is intended to make people feel calm & playful. But it felt condescending to me - and the mandatory tutorial forces you to walk through, pushing exactly the button it demands when it demands and placing pieces exactly where it says, with no options to even turn or move them, underscores that patronization. A game with graphics this beautiful & refined really should have a little more faith in its players & allow for curiosity, experimentation early on. If looks like college, but treats you like preschool, and the chunky interface is stuck in 5th grade. Not good cohesion between its various elements. But I personally am tired of idle clickers and that’s ultimately what this is, given the constraints on “the right way to do something”, disguised as a strategy game. If it’s always the same sequence of steps & positions to win, that’s not much of a strategy, is it? It’s just a process. And given that there’s no tangible reward, it is really just consuming our most precious resource - the time - without giving anything back..Version: 1.233.12
✓ Things dont changeStarted playing games again after a few years away and things do not change unless you spend on diamonds you cant play these games and progress through simple rewards just freed up top level soldiers at bronze level and supposed to fight a medium army and after bonus applied won the battle only for the game to reload another army remembering that this was supposed to be only a medium army and you guessed it i dont have that option if you cant play fair then no wonder there is players trying to find ways around the rules surely someone who develops these games can see the advantage of encouraging new players or do you only want players that spend cash if i cant play a game without spending then i shall playing this as i did modern war !!!! Another game not worth playing !!!!.Version: 1.167.2
✓ Terrible even with patienceTDLR: this game won’t let you progress properly unless you spend REAL money regularly. I have $101,000 and now stuck with nothing to do or build and they’re like “nah maybe you need to pay money to expand or progress” Dear game developers You just sent a pop up asking me to complete a survey to get to know me as a player. But when I agreed, it sent me no-where. So I’ve come to give you some feedback. I’m at the 14th stage of research, almost the high Middle Ages. I have $101,000 accrued. I have spent real money with you because initially it was fun. But I can’t get to the next level because you want me to find other resources like wine or gold but you can’t get those resources because I can’t expand my village without spending real money EVEN THOUGH I have $101,000 from taxes and nothing to spend it on. So I’m stuck. I log in to waste time because I’m waiting for other games like SimCity or Clash of Clans to give me something to collect hoping just sheer patience will get me to your next level but you don’t. You insist I spend money. Other games let me progress eventually but you guys? You really really really don’t care that I log in everyday and you ask again if I can spend real money in order to progress Suggest you find a way to reward ppl slowly with diamonds rather than bullying them to do it with real money or quit..Version: 1.134.2
✓ Make sure you find their hidden rulesGot banned for saying something political but was unaware of this rule and the rules are hidden in the forums which I’m not a member of so how am I supposed to know, went through the completely useless appeals process to be told basically I agreed to these rules when I started playing No where did I see these rules when I started playing as all you get is a tutorial and nothing more, there is no where you confirm you have read the rules ect but I’m apparently still in the wrong Contacting Support is a complete waste of time as it is run by arrogant unpaid Moderators who simply just don’t care Complete fail by Inno Games, its a law suit waiting to happen and I hope it does!.Version: 1.248
✓ Greedy DevelopersI have played the game for two years, thoroughly enjoying the many levels of activities, the amazing graphics and communication between players. I have always tried not to buy diamonds as using diamonds in the game is an easy way of progressing and eliminate challenges. As I progressed through the game I realised I was spending more and more. I told myself it was just my competitive nature and the game was worth it. It was only this last seasonal soccer event that I realised how greedy the developers have become. I could not have done more in the Event’s daily challenges, kept up with all demands from start to finish with few rewards along with 50% of players... the top 20%, 5% and 1% of players had to have spent up big buying diamonds to score any higher to gain the rewards. Very disappointing. Listen to your players complaints..Version: 1.155.2
✓ Recent updates have ruined aspects of the gameGuild battle grounds is quite literally one of the best features of this game. Once it was introduced it change the game completely and while over almost 3 yrs there have been a lot of ups and downs with how inno is changing GBG the most disappointing is the latest update. The new target and stop signs have ruined something that wasnt broken in the least. Now the flags are covered by this ungodly large hand and you cant see a competitor hitting. With the opd flag you could see flashes easily letting them get a head start on a sector without notice. Also this update and the last have made aspects of the game that used to run smoothly just janky and frustrating. Buying buildings in GBG now you get lag and get scrolled back to top of the list making you accidentally waste goods on somety you didnt want to buy. In a race this is going to slow things down taking 10sec to build camps can literally lose a race for you. The previous update buying fp with coin and medals in GE was ruined. Used to be able to click click click fast and be done. Now there is lag in between purchases. Seem the new changes inno are making are doing nothing but destroying a game that was fine the way it was. Some aspects dont need to be fiddled with...plain and simple.Version: 1.214.16
✓ So frustrating with the game legging it just about drives me insaneThe game legs so bad ! All I ever seem to get in the battle grounds area is the swirly bird. The game has gotten so big their server can’t handle the load. I have a extremely fast internet connection. This game needs some serious cut back! The timer in their battle grounds doesn’t agree with the timer on my phone either I am just so frustrated with this game! It feels like I have took so long to build up what I have in this game to be bulldozed with all their other stuff that goes on that I feel like I have just waisted my time..Version: 1.265
✓ Slow as a snailThis game moves really slow. Can’t really do anything unless you do the in app purchase..Version: 1.278.20
✓ Good game, greedy developersThis game is built highly well that makes the game so addictive you can play it pretty much every day! However the game does come with one downfall this being the diamonds. These are very hard to come buy without purchasing them for a ridiculous price, especially how at some points in the game it is hard to progress without them. Even when diamonds are given as a reward for example completing a quest it is such a minuscule amount I wander whether completing the quest was even worth it. This game would have received 5 stars if it was not for the disappointment of diamonds. Edit: another point that lets this game down is the daily challenge, sometimes this can be unrealistic, for example today I needed to defeat a very large army full of late middle age units. Seen as I have just recently entered the late Middle Ages I haven’t got any units that can compete so therefore cannot complete the daily challenge..Version: 1.147.1
✓ Ling Waiting TimesI wish I could give you 5 stars as the concept, the colours, the graphics are really nice, however you made it really hard from the start and it gets boring as you need to wait long times. I really understand the financial need behind developing an app, however I really find this one very pushy for diamonds purchase in order to have all those great buildings and to rush the long waiting times in productions... I mean 2 days for few stones? Really? Or 2 days for some wine? I need 6 days to produce the wine that I need to do a research which provides me with with a ballista building... Personally, I would happily purchase Diamonds for the great building and extensions if time on production would be more effective and long term you would have a sustainable financial gain..Version: 1.180
✓ Fix issuesWhat used to be a great game has since become a complete joke. Instead of releasing new content the devs need to listen to us long time players of the game and FIX THE ISSUES! 5 starts pre GbG, 1 star now for what’s become a complete joke. Well done 👍.Version: 1.205.16
✓ Need to buy stuff to do anything meaningfulYou need “diamonds” to build a lot of stuff and really the only way to get them is to buy them IRL; without them the game is super slow and boring!.Version: 1.175.1
✓ Avoid this game! It’s a trap & a SUPER clever scamDon’t even try this game. Don’t listen to anyone who dares say they’re playing this game for this or that much time and they never had to pay. They are simply lying. I played for 2 year in Parkog & other worlds, lost a lot of money and fortunately I could recover 4-5 months ago and went back to normal life. ALL my friends on the game, from USA, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, share with me in confidence and embarrassment that they feel they are somehow “addicted” or take hostage by the game but they’re too afraid to confess that they’re losing money and their life to this game. I repeat: ALL of them long timers. At first, you don’t feel what I’m sharing here, but if you play long enough you’ll fall into a psychological trap that is even worse than a scam. I have never written a review but I feel responsible to come forward and speak against this destructive game. At first, the game makes you rest reassured that you never “need” to pay for diamonds but as you go ahead, it manipulates you into voluntarily wanting to pay small amount and then bigger and bigger sums. You won’t notice it, until it’s too late. Avoid this game at all cost. Every friend I had from the game is happy for me to break free from the game and they wish the same for themselves..Version: 1.122.3
✓ Good game. Constantly crashes.Hilariously, even the support page crashes..Version: 1.170.1
✓ Very good game but poor payment system/supportYou pay for diamonds then you don't get them and when you notify them, they ask you for a screen shot from iTunes which is poor as you pay for a service they don't provide. I've played many other games who can see your details and transactions you have made. Ill notify my bank to investigate. Be careful!.Version: 1.43.0
