Recurring themes

Game Balance negative
Many players report that recent updates have severely unbalanced the game, making gods weaker, ultimate abilities shorter, and overall gameplay less enjoyable. There are also complaints about certain gods being inherently stronger than others, discouraging players from using their favorites.R107R148R423R505
Matchmaking negative
A recurring complaint is unfair matchmaking, where players are frequently matched against opponents significantly higher in level or power, even on 'easy' settings. This leads to constant losses and frustration.R107R118R707
Technical Issues negative
Users experience frequent crashes, lag, and 'no internet' errors, often occurring during crucial battles, without compensation. Some also report issues with button selection and the game not launching after updates.R33R40R213R353
Monetization/P2W negative
The game is frequently described as 'pay-to-win' or a 'money grabber,' with slow progression and resource acquisition unless players spend real money. Issues with purchased items not being delivered or disappearing are also reported.R2R53R69R106
Missing Gods mixed
Many players express a desire for more gods to be added to the game, specifically mentioning Dionysus, Demeter, and Hestia, to complete the Olympian pantheon.R3R27R36R37
Customer Service negative
Several users report terrible customer service, particularly regarding issues with lost accounts or problems with in-app purchases, with some waiting months for a response.R100R277R513

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy strategic city-building and combat games with a Greek mythology theme, especially those who appreciate direct control over units during battles R2R13R15. It might appeal to fans of the Percy Jackson series R4R15. It is not for players who are sensitive to 'pay-to-win' mechanics, expect fair matchmaking, or require responsive customer support for in-app purchases or account issues R106R277R513.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a clear negative trajectory compared to the lifetime rating. While many still praise the core gameplay, the volume and consistency of complaints regarding balance, monetization, and technical issues are significant. The developer's notes mention 'balance changes' but recent reviews strongly contradict a positive outcome, indicating these changes may have worsened the experience for many R107R148.

  1. [R1] 4/5 · US Good game: Great strategy
  2. [R2] 5/5 · US Fun Game: This is one of the best games I have ever played. First, it’s not a copy of clash of clans like everyone thinks. You get to control almost everything, which in my opinion, makes it very engaging. The game is very addictive. It is a bit p2w sometimes, but other than that, everything is great. I have been playing for a few years now and the game never gets boring. We could add a few more g
  3. [R13] 5/5 · US All time best: Easily one of the all time best apps to have been created. Effortless control on he the gameplay. City building is a great game in itself. Countless options on attacking and base building. Add in the alliance aspect with the ability to assist on attacking or defending. Throw in the Under World. Great gameplay goes on and on…
  4. [R18] 5/5 · US Gods Of Olympus: This game has been keeping me busy the last couple days. I enjoy the strategic and grind balance the game offers.
  5. [R4] 5/5 · US Fun game for PJO fans: This is a really fun game for people who like Percy Jackson!
  6. [R15] 5/5 · US Real nice game work: The game is awesome. After reading Percy Jackson, I tried multiple Greek mythology games. But compared to other mythology games, Gods of Olympus has the classic strategy and the Greek mythology feeling.
  7. [R21] 5/5 · US Good: I love Greek mythology and this game just makes it better
  8. [R34] 5/5 · US Greek Mythology: I love that I get to use Poseidons powers because Poseidon is my favorite god so this game makes me really happy to play and overall, I think the owner and devs did a really good job and you should get this
  9. [R12] 5/5 · US So great!!!: Incredibly fun and addicting
  10. [R9] 5/5 · US Amazing: Great game no ads collect all the gods and then get limited editions play levels and gain resources
  11. [R107] 1/5 · US Fall of a great game: It used to be a great game during 2015-2018 and then comes the nerfing, god's easily die and almost all the heroes can one tap your entire god's, the in-game time is rigged all the god's ultimate attack time duration have been slashed in half I remembered Athena's inspiration used to last 50sec now it's 20. I'm level 96 and I face base like level 120 and above both in normal
  12. [R148] 1/5 · US Terrible: The last update has made this once great game absolutely unplayable. Not fun or enjoyable and it’s not just me. Everyone in my alliance have said the same things.
  13. [R423] 2/5 · GB Unfair: I bought Artemis because she is my favourite Greek Goddess and then I bought Athena because she is my second favourite. My Artemis is currently on level 50 and my Athena on level 2. Athena has more health than Artemis. The fact that some gods and goddesses are better than others when you buy them puts you off wanting to buy your favourites because you won’t win battles as easy.
  14. [R505] 3/5 · CA Yeah…: Yeah, it’s good. But it’s like lowkey sexist. My Artemis is level 8 whereas Zeus and Poseidon are like 2 or 3. They both deal more damage and survive longer than Lady Artemis. Just because they’re women, doesn’t mean they’re weak. The gods and goddesses, while having different powers, should have equal strength
  15. [R118] 1/5 · US Bad algorithms.: Match making needs a complete overhaul. I’m tired of facing bases leagues out of mine.
  16. [R707] 1/5 · CA Rubbish: The cost to upgrade increases exponentially. Your loot gained from an attack does not. What’s worse is that you are given the option to choose an “easy” attack, “normal” attack, or a “hard” attack. Even the “easy” attacks that you get are against people who are at least 10 levels above you. It’s ridiculous. They need to lower the cost of everything like what Clash of Clans did when peo
  17. [R33] 3/5 · US This game program is falling apart.: The more that I play, The more it malfunctions
  18. [R40] 3/5 · US Good: Its a good game with unique mechanics. Only downside is you will most likely be hit with a no internet sign or the game just completely crashing. This happens alot especially during battles where, whether your assisting or attacking you have the chance to lag out with game never giving compensation. Other than this problem never getting fixed its a good game.
  19. [R353] 1/5 · GB Update 5.5 needs to be fixed: Making this a 1star so the devs fix this soon I’ve just updated the game and tried to launch it but it kicks me off as soon as it loads 100% please give me any feedback on how to fix this
  20. [R106] 3/5 · US Classic P2P: I played this game to level 99 so far, and being gainfully employed sunk a decent amount of coin to no real avail; probably 48% seems to be some sort of unbeatable city building master at even 10+ levels lower; this is with me maxed at several God powers with upward health and strength. I suspect there’s Bots or AI at play to push frustration into gem and resource purchases. Admittedl
  21. [R503] 2/5 · CA Used to be good, but now…: It used to be decent, but then, they added way more mechanics, which, to be fair, most are great, but the power skills of players ends up being very steep if you’re new, and on top of everything, it seems they’re using AI on certain aspects. As well as it being very difficult to progress without money, these are all flaws leading me to delete this game. Overall, it was b
  22. [R521] 1/5 · CA Good concept, bad game: Like most games, pay to play.
  23. [R69] 3/5 · US I might delete this game unless I get what I paid for: I bought a 5 dollar pack that was supposed to give me gems and stone and gold and it worked for about 1 day and then I log on and I have 0 gems and 0 stone and 0 gold so unless I get what I paid for I’m deleting thins game
  24. [R183] 1/5 · US Owed resources: I’ve paid for gems and the battlepass, when I pay gems to win 5x resources in the daily city, I get no resources at all. It isn’t a small amount either
  25. [R586] 1/5 · CA Did get what I bought: I bought a 6.99 pack and I had ten bucks on my acc and when I looked all of my money was gone
  26. [R30] 1/5 · US Takes you so long to get new gods: So long!
  27. [R211] 2/5 · US It was a good game for a while.: Started off good. Progressed quickly in a few days and had three gods but then story arch slowed down and gameplay got old. Also, the Greek pantheon had many gods and hero’s that could be used. Edafos, Icarus, apate, etc.
  28. [R309] 3/5 · GB My friend made me get it: Rip off clash of clans fun when you first get it but then it’s a grind for weeks before making any important progress
  29. [R100] 3/5 · US Recover: Trying to get in my old acount with the email is way to hard I did the link thingy but didn’t get my old base and gods back really disappointed
  30. [R277] 3/5 · GB DON’T DO ANY PURCHASE!!!CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE TERRIBLE: This game is an amazing game to play and it is really fun. Each Gods have their own unique abilities and skill, with real time action and command, this game really test your strategic skills to overcome other player base!!! It is so addictive and I really recommend you play it! This game would have been a 5 star if it wasn’t for 1 major proble
  31. [R513] 3/5 · CA Bad customer service: Played for a couple years but lost the account. Emailed multiple times about account recovery and waited for several months. Have still not gotten back. Very disappointing customer service for such a good game.
  32. [R3] 4/5 · US Greek gods: I love this game and wish you can finish the main 13 adding both Demeter and Dionysus would be amazing
  33. [R217] 3/5 · US Not bad I like the updates I just wish it had diyonisus or hestia: What I meant to write I did in title
  34. [R37] 5/5 · US GREAT GAME: This game is amazing but one question for the developers why is there only 11 of the twelve olimpians where is Dionysus but the attention to detail and graphics are amazing
  35. [R44] 5/5 · US Why this game is amazing: They have amazing strategy gameplay and also I love Greek mythology but their missing the major god dinyous and a couple minor ones but overall it was great
  36. [R213] 2/5 · US Problem with selecting buttons/press one thing and it selects another/ WHY CAN’T MY BUTTONS REGISTER: I love this game have no complaints about the game overall, but there’s something wrong with selecting buildings. My patron is Aphrodite and I maxed out her charm building, so I can quickly select and charm buildings but more often than not sometimes when I try to select a Medusa tower it selects
  37. [R53] 5/5 · US Not bad: definitely a money grabber but i enjoy it. takes awhile to collect all the gods and goddesses but its nice because it means if you wanna collect them all it’s gonna take awhile
  38. [R27] 5/5 · US Great: This is the best mobile game ever, BUT, it would be better if they added Dionysus. But otherwise the best game ever
  39. [R36] 4/5 · US My review: The game is outstanding the only thing is I wish there was more gods and more updates also I hate the duo challenge event it’s harder as reach round 8 and above and we only get tw goes for it
