1. [R1] Vikings 1/5 · US I used to spend $500 a month on the game because I couldn't play any other way. But I'm quitting bec: I used to spend $500 a month on the game because I couldn't play any other way. But I'm quitting because of the Battle for Light competition! Until this competition continues or Light achievements are available for purchase, I definitely won't be coming back!
2. [R3] Vikings 3/5 · US Pay to Play: I agree with the review that StarsNite said and TOTALLY DISAGREE with the response he got.. the game is all about the money..I can’t even upgrade knowledge to enable me to train Tier IX troops.. that makes the game sucks
3. [R13] Vikings 1/5 · US Whales only: Can not advance without spending big. Great graphics.
4. [R15] Vikings 3/5 · US New Players Please Read: This game was extremely fun to play when it was still newer. Presently the game is approaching 1000 kingdoms, when I started the newest kingdom was 83. Back then the game was a blast, wasn’t crazy expensive and relatively easy to be competitive if you were willing to spend a little on it. Now, I wouldn’t suggest starting unless you’re willing to drop tens of thousand of
5. [R4] Vikings 2/5 · US Unannounced Changes Alter the Game: I have played this game almost daily over the last eight years. While it is like many “freemium” games which offers significant playing advantages to high spenders, over the last six months, they have accelerated this, including altering internal competitions to significantly disadvantage players who do not spend liberally. IMO the game developer has recently ma
6. [R6] Vikings 3/5 · US I: Ive really enjoyed this game so far ive been playing for about 4 years my dad 10 but the latest updates make it impossible for me or my dad to stand a chance in events please fix the game plarium
7. [R7] Vikings 1/5 · US Fair: Not a fair competition at all. In the last fair, Wolf's Path, players with castle levels 40-41 competed, but suddenly a player with castle level 45 won! How did he even end up among lower-level players? The matchmaking is unfair! The game has become complete garbage, getting worse with each update. Even with donations, it's no longer fun to play. · translated
8. [R19] Vikings 1/5 · US Updates for spenders’s only: Unfortunately, all the fun in this game has gone for 90% of the community and the developers will not listen. They just keep adding updates and catering to the players that spend money and I’m not talking small amount of money. You have to spend a huge amount of money to keep up in this game. I personally am slowing down and not playing as much because it is not fun an
9. [R9] Vikings 3/5 · US Connection: Okay so my game isn’t loading because of some connection error and my shield is going to become in active and I’m going to lose everything. And platinum is going to say tooo band . It’s happened before
10. [R10] Vikings 1/5 · US If I could give it 0 stars, I would: My next entry: they just broke the game and are again, lying about it! They added a new feature Monster Generator (which allows the player to create an invader or ghost on their own.) I believe this feature was introduced without adequate testing because now, no resource lairs are produced when killing ghosts or invaders. These resource locations are the lite
11. [R12] Vikings 3/5 · US My game won’t load: It just notified me that update was over and I could log on and I tried and it said still in maintenance
12. [R46] Vikings 1/5 · US Bad. Dont Play it: It used to be a great game. There was hope that the new owner would make it better. But it’s gotten worse Full of bugs. New features introduced w more bugs. Rather than delivering on the promises they made The latest is a new contest they introduced. Tasks unknown. Only the clan chief can acore. Waste of time Don’t get started
13. [R16] Vikings 1/5 · US Overtime pay required to play: I have played Vikings since before Aristocrat mobile and MTG owned Plarium from 2015 to present day. I wanted to dial in a few facts supporting the 1 star review. 1. Plariums customer support absolutely sucks and they are 1000% copy paste responses and beat around the bush that never helps your issue. 2. Literally a 1/4 of the in-town screen is bank offers. Floating
14. [R25] Vikings 1/5 · US Not worth your time: Bad support team , their lazy and biased and lazy at their jobs
15. [R32] Vikings 4/5 · US Still pretty fun but not as active anymore: Honestly my biggest issue in the game is just that the player base is not nearly as large and active as it was say 3 or 4 years ago. Most clans have less then 10 players which is a far cry from 2019 when nearly every clan was at the max. Just doesn’t feel like the kind of game I can form a community with anymore. Everything else is at the same level rela
16. [R51] RAID 2/5 · US Not a Botted Review: I’ve been playing casually since 2019. I’ve done dailies for 3-4+ days a week pretty consistently for 7 years. I’ll be honest, I’ve spent a few hundred dollars over the years. 7+ years and a few hundred dollars spent and my account is low to mid tier. The demand this game has is unrealistic, it will literally take you years to even become desirable to a decent clan. If you sav
17. [R53] RAID 3/5 · US If money is of no concern…: If money is of no concern then you can basically buy your way through this game at such exorbitant prices that you could easily buy a new car. The gameplay itself is good for a turn based RPG aside from time gates, paywalls and extremely limited resources to start with. Not to mention the excessive amount of harassment of buy this or that to boost your chances, characte
18. [R56] RAID 3/5 · US Basic Game but won’t let you leave: If this were solely based on the gameplay and presentation I would give a 3/5. Not offensive but a basic gameplay loop and reward system. The game has realistic graphics which I actually believe reduces the quality of the game because it’s not creative and gives me higher expectations for the game that it doesn’t meet. However the real reason I don’t like the ga
19. [R58] RAID 5/5 · US Raid: Fun game, but it feels like it’s pay to win
20. [R65] Viking Rise 1/5 · US Not Playable: If you play on phones or tablets, it would crash 5 times every minute.
21. [R66] Viking Rise 5/5 · US Excellent: Enjoying it so far. Good progression.
22. [R67] Viking Rise 3/5 · US Getting kicked from the app: The app keeps crashing on me.. I updated my iPad and it still keeps kicking me out
23. [R68] Viking Rise 1/5 · US Pay to play: You think you need 100 $ to have a good and strong army? Noooo not even 300 or 1000 or 5000 dollars will be enough, strong players in this game have spent at least 30,000 US dollar to have a strong army that can fight and defend, if you are not rich and ready to spend 30,000 US dollars and above I advise you to stay away.
24. [R80] War and Order 5/5 · US Repeat user: Great game for adults
25. [R81] War and Order 3/5 · US Too many pop ups: There is absolutely too many pop-ups when first logging into game. It would be nice if you can at least do the pop-ups after a few minutes. Especially on war day when we need to put a shield on in a hurry and then the stupid pop-ups come delaying. On top of that healing and recovering troops is a very slow. This game should allow the user to have the advantage by having notifi
26. [R84] War and Order 3/5 · US Pricing: Game is free to play, but , to be a contender it cost way to much money taking away from the enjoyment of the game. There needs to be more balance for none paying players to complete with those who spend thousands
27. [R85] War and Order 2/5 · US Fun but expensive: In this game you HAVE to spend money regularly to be competitive. Playing this game without money is terrible, there is no way to compete fairly without having to fork out a lot of money.
28. [R93] Island War 2/5 · US Doesn’t reward long term players: I think there are a lot of bots writing reviews. The game is fine. Can be engaging while you are building troops but there comes a time when you have gone as far as you can. Even after spending lots and lots… It’s always been the buggy and or inconsistent in game play. And the game doesn’t reward you for getting far. Lots of messages like ‘coming soon’. And t
29. [R98] Island War 1/5 · US Bad update: Bad updates are no longer the idea behind this so-called strategic game. It has become a child's game. , shame I spent 3 years of my life on this game.
30. [R99] Island War 5/5 · US Amazing: This game is so fun! There are so many things you can do in the game that really elevates the gameplay to make it soooo much more fun.
31. [R100] Island War 1/5 · US Games going downhill: Frequent, unannounced changes in the mechanics of the game is fairly frustrating but until recently only required adjusting strategy. Currently the defensive aspect has been severely nerfed to the point where defensive strategies are useless and offensive strategies are unnecessary. There is currently no strategy required to find success and the game is boring. Hard to justif
32. [R107] Rise of Castles 1/5 · US System crash: Go to the game and it crashes all the time
33. [R110] Rise of Castles 1/5 · US Lies: When I started this game, they said you did not have to pay to play now they reward those that pay the most. If you’re not willing to literally spend 30, 40 $50,000 don’t play the game only those pay win. They also say they protect the rest of us from cheat codes or cheating. This is not true most of the big players use cheat codes or buy things online to give them an advantage again you got
34. [R111] Rise of Castles 5/5 · US Five Stars…but: I really enjoy this strategy game because you can keep moving at your own pace without having to wait a long time. The one knock on it is that any of the promotional packages or items that help you advance are only available through Apple Pay or whatever device you’re on, there are no ads to get items to help you advance. On the one hand that’s refreshing but you have to curb your
35. [R112] Rise of Castles 3/5 · US Muy caro: Los pobres no tienen derecho de jugar este juego ya que los precios del juego para ser competitivos con los que sí pueden gastar 💸 🤦
