2. [R5] 5/5 · US Very very goodd game: You should play this because is too good
3. [R10] 5/5 · US Fun: The game is not that bad. It’s amazing fun
4. [R14] 5/5 · US Amazing game: This game is a really fun strategy game and the quest are super fun.I Would recommend to kill time and to play for fun
5. [R2] 5/5 · US Excellent game: Kills time wonderfully. · translated
6. [R7] 5/5 · US ROK: Fun game played it for years
7. [R8] 5/5 · US Best sound ever: I put my headphones in and loaded up the game one day and got distracted, so looked away from the phone while it loaded up. The next thing I knew I was just immersed in this world and I was transported somewhere else and everything sounded so real, I felt like I was outside somewhere in a village or something. Best sound I’ve ever heard on a mobile game! Wasn’t expecting that lev
8. [R50] 5/5 · US love it: this game is so fun and kinda educational its fun for competing and also you can make slliances
9. [R190] 3/5 · US Has the potential to be the best mobile game: This game is so much fun, it has a great and mostly positive community that is super helpful and active. The combat is crazy fun, the constant new commanders and events coming around keeps the game interesting and the dozen or so different stories and minor rule changes between KvK1 and SOC is a fantastic idea. This game does so much right and I think
10. [R30] 3/5 · US Pay to win: I think that the developers should make a new kind of kingdom where there are zero purchasable items and everything is free to play, to make it still profitable and therefore useful I think there should be a 10-20 dollar purchase to enter the kingdom, this would make it extremely fun to play and there would be more active players. Sorry for writing a lot but please consider this
11. [R34] 2/5 · US The game is P2W: This game is the most pay to win game you will ever play. Wish they had more outlets for people who don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, and yes THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PEOPLE WILL SPEND ON THIS GAME. The game is fun if you weren’t being overruled and surpassed by people who spend $500 a day on this game.
12. [R38] 1/5 · US P2w: Most pay to win game i have ever seen in my entire life, its like if ur f2p player in first 5 hour of the game, your power is 100k and the p2w players are 10 million, in this game f2p players are here only for p2w players have more fun
13. [R48] 1/5 · US P2W: Biggest pay to win game of all time.
14. [R4] 5/5 · US False advertising: The game ad is wrong. I’ve played this game before.
15. [R40] 1/5 · US DO NOT GET: I saw many ads for the game in the ads thegame looked fun, but the game was nothing like the ad said would be there’s many ads within the game and you get more ad time than playing time!! Would not recommend this game.
16. [R76] 1/5 · US Out right lying in ads?: The gameplay of this game isn’t bad if this is the type of game you like but the lying on ads about advanced management and population is actually crazy and the fact that there’s no consequences the devs are just money hungry and shouldn’t be supported
17. [R78] 1/5 · US Ads are an absolute mess: Let’s be real this game would’ve been fun if the ads weren’t false advertising and the bad acting for the actors and actresses.
18. [R3] 1/5 · US Me cerraron mi cuenta sin yo hacer nada: Comencé con una cuenta hace tres días y me la bloquearon nose porque y encima contacte a soporte y no ayudaron en nada!
19. [R6] 1/5 · US Sucks: I paid money and issue with more problems finally I get my game reset why I don’t know support said they couldn’t fix it smh wast of time not worth it in my opinion there’s better games that are willing to help you fix the issues
20. [R129] 1/5 · US Cheating: Edit in response to developers response: I have reported cheaters as have my teammates. The reports show something is found but the people are either given a warning email or 24hr ban like that will teach them 🙄 I have several customer support reports as well do other players in my alliance. So much money wasted on a game because of cheaters. The game was fun but now it just seems bot
21. [R142] 1/5 · US Cheating support: The game is based on deception and cheating, with many violations and trades happening in broad daylight before the eyes of developers who claim to fight cheating but turn a blind eye to thousands of reports. This makes it difficult for clean players to play. Besides selling resources, there are now also bots to hit polar bears for a monthly fee, preventing other players from playing. · translated
22. [R112] 3/5 · US Fun but is losing its spark: It’s been a good game for a while but the tremendous wait times for research upgrades is actually crazy past Tier 4 level. Why would I want to wait 100 days for a slight buff and the possibility to reach T5 troops (which takes 500 days). Please add a T6 level to reduce other research wait times, or something like better rune speed ups to the game. Another annoyance is
23. [R404] 3/5 · GB 2 weeks in and im feeling done: Its not even been a full two weeks since getting this game and I feel like it's plateaued. My alliance has become in active after we were attacked, the amount of XP you get VS the amount you need the more commanders you have is annoying. It just feels like every time I log in, all I do is collect Gold,Food, wood and stone and log off. The progress in this game takes
24. [R58] 2/5 · US Lost Everything…: Definitely a fun game, however I took a break after awhile to focus on my career more just to try and come back to the game and everything is lost… my account and the money I spent and time I invested… all for nothing. 😂
25. [R160] 1/5 · US Waste of time and Money: I played this for years. Then, stepped away for a bit and came back and lost everything I had built and frankly paid for. Thousands of dollars gone. They are crooks.
26. [R167] 1/5 · US used to be great: if your a returning player, don’t bother unless you want to start all over. new migration rules junked the game and created a bunch of dead kingdoms.
27. [R45] 3/5 · US Great game But: Everything seems right about the game but when it kicks your friends or team mates out of chat for long periods of time the game gets boring because no one can join chat once’s muted or kicked. I hope they fix this issue.
28. [R125] 1/5 · US Lilth the homophobic corrupt: You muted me for defending against homophobia. You are a corrupt company. Didn’t China accept gay people back then? Why are you now muting me?? Have an issue with people choosing how they live?
29. [R147] 2/5 · US The chat: All the time it fails to send my dm’s and it makes me upset and I delete the game and redownload it and it just takes up to much time.
30. [R163] 3/5 · US Bad review: It’s a very good game overall. But the rating is wayyy too low to be appropriate. There are people with inappropriate names such as “puhpounder” which is a sexual reference. When I tried to report them them but they often ignore people who do not pay to get progress in the game. Among that I reported “puhpounder”,a friend. He was acting predatory saying he was a girls daddy even after
31. [R483] 3/5 · GB Good! At first: Well, its good, but it will get repetitive, It is a great game and all, but like i said, It ends up getting confusing and basically all about upgrading and what kindom you chose at the start.....
32. [R705] 3/5 · CA Lost potential: The game itself is great in the beginning, after a while it 1. gets repetitive 2. gets super p2w. Like I’m talking if you don’t monthly spend a few hundred dollars you cant play it. Pay to play, free to lose
33. [R22] 1/5 · US Unless you are one of the 3 “big” tribes it’s pointless: There are a bunch of cliques that act like they’re great because they’re play too much. No chance for average player to have a good experience.
34. [R196] 2/5 · US Community problems: I was trying it out to see I like it and I do like it, down fall a noobie me trying to learn how the game works. So I got up to level 7 wmd someone pop up to me of level 25 attacking my kingdom and lost a lot of them. I join the alliance and got kick on same day saying my power level was to low. Yeah I don’t recommend of your new to the game.
35. [R497] 3/5 · GB RoK July 2025: I gave this game another go as it was good in the beginning, but not any more, it’s a shambles with lots of jumper players planned. In the new kingdom I joined an alliance but I couldn’t teleport to their gathering because I wasn’t allowed to get through a pass 1 gate area which gives you a virtual feeling of claustrophobia. I will delete the game and not bother with it any more.
36. [R594] 3/5 · CA Pas jouable: Sérieux les gens de ce jeu est bizarre je veux dire c’est impossible de jouer à ce jeu parce que chaque fois on t’empêche de rentrer dans une alliance et j’ai pas envie de te penser de l’argent pour être puissant alors je me fais jeter des alliances
37. [R118] 3/5 · US Insane P2W: Unless you’re ready to blast your next paycheck on this game you’ll never be able to compete with others
