Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy idle RPGs with deep hero collection and team-building mechanics, and who are willing to overlook or tolerate significant recent technical issues and a perceived shift towards a more aggressive monetization model R7R15R19. It's particularly suited for those who have played for a long time and are invested in the game's core loop R8R10R43. Skip if you are looking for a stable, bug-free experience or if you prefer games that are strictly free-to-play without heavy monetization R31R73R115.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and monetization concerns, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime 4.7-star rating. This suggests a significant decline in user satisfaction following recent updates and ownership changes. The trajectory is clearly negative, with many long-term players expressing disappointment.

- [R1] So fun: All I gotta say is this game is tuff
- [R4] Fun: I like it because its really simple and easy to play if you just want to have fun play it its really easy and if you have nothing to do
- [R7] Addicting: I throughly enjoy team building gars and this one has a lot of dynamics to it and a large selection of heroes. It creates a very diverse atmosphere from player to player.
- [R13] Peak: I’ve been playing this game since I was 8 and now I’m almost 13 this game is so peak that I had to redownload it
- [R21] Least predatory idle game: This is a fun game with a lot of depth to it. I think they do a good job allowing free players to progress without feeling like they are stuck unless they pay real money. There aren’t a billion different currencies that you have to buy with money and the currency that you can buy is also earnable in game. I commend this game for its self restraint
- [R27] Fun game and rewarding.: The game is rather fun and you progress pretty fast prestiging is also easy so you won’t be stuck on stages even as a f2p it is easy to progress!
- [R43] Long time player: Been playing for 4 years now. Co-running a guild that’s been around even longer. Best idle game out there in my experience. You have the choice to play for free which is entirely possible or you can purchase flooz. During the 3x chest event you get bonus flooz. If you’re dedicated you can get about 1000 flooz per event. Buy a dungeon ticket package then save it for the 2x d
- [R45] Overall a Fun Experience: I love that this game doesn’t force you to watch ads to play. The worst thing it does is make you watch an ad for the daily chest. However, considering that’s once a day and not every five seconds, I’ll tolerate it. Especially since this game is just fun. I love that the game makes it viable to play without the need for micro transactions of course, the people who pay WIL
- [R2] Good game: Really like this game and they are working on it more my only complaint is it starts to lack progression in pve as you get higher level
- [R16] To The developer: Developer your amazing guy on earth I love this game so much and I love it so much thank you for this amazing game I am very proud of you and your team worked so hard amazing I wish I can promote you as a true developer to this game I love you man we are best buddies forever man thank you so much
- [R18] If you don’t love the game you’ll still love the developers: Dude these devs are amazing I have never played a game this big that is still having frequent updates with a dev team that not only actively interacts with its community/players but also actively helps its community/players for issues that they didn’t have anything to do with. This game is amazing.
- [R19] Best game ❤️: I love this game sooo much! I’ve been playing it for over 6 years and I I’m never tired! It provides endless fun and entertainment! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes having fun and being happy! I love the newest update with the elemental pets and I love how the developers are always active and keep adding new hero’s! Thank you so much CTA team, keep up the great work! ❤️
- [R52] Fun chill and self explanatory: I enjoy playing this game a lot it’s easy to learn and once you get good it’s fun because you can play at your own pace
- [R66] Must spend a lot of money for new features: This game is great! Lots of fun and simple to navigate. It takes a while to get your power level up but if you’re patient you can get there. You don’t need to spend money but can if you want to help progress faster. This is absolutely fine in my opinion. They don’t force you to watch ads, but you can get currency if you do. They recently added a feature
- [R8] What’s Going On: I’ve been on the game for years, but it’s not working recently. It constantly fails to load, and the people in my guild are having the same issues. Really sucks for those of us who have been here a long time, but I can’t help feeling like the new owners don’t want the game around anymore.
- [R9] Not bad: Not a bad game actually one of the longest idle games I’ve played so far but the recent update make it slow or impossible to load up and my guild has been experiencing it too
- [R31] New update crashes: The most recent update causes the game to crash every few minutes
- [R115] Game Crashes: After the latest update the game won’t open. Starts to load then just crashes.
- [R10] Connection issues every day….: I have been on this app for at least 4 years; however, during the last year, I have been getting “connection issue” or “requires wifi” almost every day I try to login. I have spent real cash in this app, so I’m trying not to quit.
- [R505] Unplayable: After update, the game is unplayable. Says it requires internet connection when I have it. Great game otherwise
- [R11] Wish there was more free items Im the shop…: First of all I love the game I’ve been playing for 6d now, but having to pay for small boots is kinda annoying I can’t get as far as I want because of p2w, if there’s more f2p content for this game I’d give it a 5 star rating but overall love the gameplay.
- [R24] It’s like they’re trying to ruin the game: I’m a 6 year player about 50/50 paid and f2p over the years. It has always been my favorite IDLE game. But the original owners sold it to a new company and let me tell you, they haven’t made one beneficial player decision since. It’s almost like they sit around and actively try to make the worst possible decision for the game, and they update it with n
- [R62] Greed and incompetence: The new owners Imperia Online are well know for their greed and misleading the players. I've been playing for well over 2 years on Android and enjoyed the game and the guild chat. Since Imperia took over almost everyone has left. My guild always had 30 members and now there's 2. No one has joined the guild in over 3 months. Don't waste your time with Imperia Online and thei
- [R3] Can’t restart: I’m trying to delete my account so I can restart because I reinstalled it and I want to start over but even at 00 it still says cancel deletion I love the game but I want to restart
- [R29] Needs update: I love the game, but it’s been forever since I’ve played, I installed it 3 weeks ago and did the whole delete the account thing so I could restart fresh. And once it reaches the 0 seconds left mark after the 14 day waiting period, it just stopped, so I waited all day today and tried seeing if that did anything, it was still at 0 seconds. It doesn’t let you delete your progress so you
- [R34] Don’t try and restart: I tried to restart and now I can’t play the game I’m am stuck in a frozen screen
- [R92] Trash game: This game is so bad. I downloaded it back a while ago (15 days) and i tryed to delete my account (i have to wait 14 days for some dumb reason) when it was ready geuss what? It didnt delete. You devs are just lazy and i hope this game goes bankrupt
- [R28] Why?: A couple months ago I was banned from playing the game forever and I have no idea why, I didn’t cheat to get anything faster or instantly unlock anything or to unlock characters faster, all I did was play normally but still got banned. Please help me get my account back.
- [R32] Lack of Support: If you experience bugs or glitches (which happen frequently now) don’t expect a timely reply from support.
- [R38] My review: One day after working so hard on this game I was banned for no reason
- [R39] got banned for no reason: i login one day but it says that the avcount is banned... would play alot more but cant. plas someone tell me when this is fixed.
- [R50] Oh my: I love how all the good reviews are from along time ago with the first creators. once upon this game actually had good creators and this game was incredible, then it got destroyed. They took away the world chat which was my favorite part of the game. There’s tons of hackers, weird mini games, they even stopped letting people join guilds for the time being, weird stuff going on, not worth it
- [R51] Please listen there is a bug: It doesn’t let me join any guild when I select join
- [R59] Guild Death: This game cuts off access to new guild members. My guild is down to 3 active players with no hope of getting more. Great game otherwise.
- [R25] Decent Fun Too Many Ads: Fun game but so many ads are annoying
- [R69] Ads ads ads: I’m really enjoying the game but there isn’t an option to outright remove ads. You have to get it from vip program which will take ages. I wouldn’t get into this game unless you just love ads.
- [R134] Good… but…: I wish there were less ads.
- [R946] It is good game but is too expensive to play: Good graphics No lagging But it is a bit expensive to play. You need to pay $15 every 15days (Not even a month), if you want to have a fun with this game. And, if you watch Ads, you will get 2-5 gems but it is not to buy things. Some Ads are so long (some of Advertisements last more than 50s) so I usually do not watch it. I don’t know .. if you ha
- [R5] Issues: This game is really fun and I’ve been playing it for years, but semi recently the game has been lagging to the point where it’s unplayable whenever the has an event, and usually its like this for 3-5 days, making me miss most of the event usually, but usually when this happens, they will give you a few Hundred flooz in compensation, so overall, this game is really good with a few issues th
- [R15] GOATED: The freaking best idle game in the world! It’s so freaking fun bro devs u guys are the absolute GOATS! The absolute best idle rpg game! And there are so many characters to collect and use! And there are fun boss levels, and I love that there are guilds so u can make friends and stuff. Best Game Ever! Imperia online u guys are the best👍
- [R73] Cash grab: Have played this day consistently for over 2 years and still haven’t made a dent in leveling my characters up. They just introduced an auction house where the cheapest item is $120 in real money. The most expensive item was well over $1500! For one item! You need 10,000 points toward each character to max out their level. On a good day, you may get 20-30. I’ll let you do the math for ov
- [R159] Game has turned into a money grab!: When I first downloaded this game I enjoyed playing it a lot! The rewards were great offline and allowed a lot of progress. I enjoyed the character art and smooth game play. I spend a few hundred dollars on the game. Would have kept spending…. Then they started to update the game… What was once a fun game has now become a money grab! All about the money! Chara
- [R175] Imperia is profit only: Ever since the game was bought out and Imperia was hired to manage the game, it is all about profit. They listen to the whales and make constant changes that effect the game. This game is dying don’t waste your money!!!! Update kingdom is all this game is now. How to make a buck.
- [R800] yes but..: It’s a great game with an amazing concept, but there is no option to start a new game if you ever get bored.
- [R109] Game breaking bugs that the company will not own up to: This game used to be fun but since IO purchased the game it has increasingly down hill. At first there were annoying bugs that went unaddressed and could be forgiven , but eventually most players come across a large one and the company’s response is Basically IT DID NOT HAPPEN. Trying to even get some one to respond to you in support is al
- [R167] DO NOT TRY: The game was a little fun at first but after my first in-game purchase resulted in my money being taken and nothing to show for it. Devs don’t seem to care if you lose money, they won’t respond.
