1. [R32] 5/5 · US Different RTS game apart from competitors. It lets you shield for unlimited time.: Beautiful graphics and solid base building. Many quests and fun mazes.
2. [R87] 4/5 · US Ms. Louis: This game was an absolute delight I had a lot of fun strategising but quickly got bored maybe needs to be a little more challenging.
3. [R110] 5/5 · US Perfect: I have come back to this game on multiple platforms over the years, as it just gets the genre right. The only game that did it better was Kings of the Realm, and that was unfortunately shut down.
4. [R111] 5/5 · US Greatness: Just amazing game… if your a Vikings fan… I’d highly recommend it
5. [R86] 5/5 · US Best of the underrated: This should be recognized for its beauty
6. [R236] 3/5 · US Buggy: This game is fun. Reminds me of CoC a bit with better graphics. I love Norse mythology. The game is fun to play, if I was able to play it. Most of the time I load in and the game crashes or I’m trying to do something and it crashes again. I don’t know why the game keeps on crashing. I want it to stop so I can keep enjoying the game. I would of given it a better waiting if it didn’t keep cra
7. [R7] 5/5 · US Great game: Love it
8. [R17] 5/5 · US The best Game: I don’t know what the fuss is about but I like this game
9. [R28] 5/5 · US Vikings: I love the game. Long time fan… cry babies can stop playing but rest of us love the innovative updates that keep the game fresh & challenging Those who complain don’t want to do the work
10. [R93] 5/5 · US Love it: Love this game. You can choose to spend money and grow. And even better, you can choose not to and still grow! Fun game w ongoing events to keep you engaged
11. [R1] 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!
12. [R6] 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
13. [R10] 1/5 · US Wallet whales unite: Now I wouldn’t mind spending $50 on a cheeky little phone game, if it would benefit you. I’ve done that on previous games and after a month of playing them I was placing top 10 on the server in troop kills events, etc. This game is not that type of game. The devs are more racketeers than software developers. Spend gold to unlock top tier troops, then spend gold to train them.
14. [R13] 1/5 · US Game is just a money sucker: This game has increasingly become pay-to-win. To progress at a competitive level and keep pace with other players, it requires spending at least $100 per month. After more than 6 years playing I observed that the game’s monetization model has only intensified over time, making it less enjoyable for long term players. Based on my experience, I would NOT RECOMMEND starti
15. [R23] 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
16. [R26] 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
17. [R58] 1/5 · US It wouldn’t load: Okay so I downloaded this game, but when I played, it said “updating resources” which I’ve seen. But it wouldn’t update resources! It kept going from 7 mb straight to 1. Annoying.
18. [R63] 1/5 · US Consider this: It loads to 75% and then says there's an internet connection error. I have 5G at max, and all other apps work perfectly, except Vikings. I've deleted and re-downloaded it instantly 20 times, and nothing changes. So what internet are they talking about?! Tired of the glitches. · translated
19. [R3] 1/5 · US Fair: Not a fair competition at all. In the last Wolf's Path fair, 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; it gets worse with every update, and it's not even fun to play with donations anymore. · translated
20. [R24] 1/5 · US Hackers: Game has hackers, also if your not a big spender you won’t enjoy it. You will not be able to compete in anything.
21. [R33] 3/5 · US Rich people game: The league levels should based on how much players spend to play. So those dropping $1000 a month should be in competition against each other. And those who haven’t spent money should be against each other. Or go by influence. I have personal competitions and I’m in the same league as players 10 times my size.
22. [R50] 3/5 · US Beware: I have played this game for 7 years, put some money into the game(about$3,000.00) you will never get anywhere. The game is only going to take more and more money to be able to play. Now it is mostly train troops loose troops for little to no gain. You get matched up against players or clans 3 times your size with little to no chance. The rewards are getting harder and harder to achieve and
23. [R8] 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
24. [R11] 1/5 · US Not worth your time: Bad support team , their lazy and biased and lazy at their jobs
25. [R22] 1/5 · US Beware, a pay to play game with a dishonest company behind it all!: If you don't want to constantly spend money, then you won't enjoy this scam of a game! Even if you do spend money to participate, or heaps of money to stay competitive, as soon as there are any issues the "support" team (they must be using the term support ironically) dismisses you concerns with no recourse. If you have a pay to p
26. [R30] 2/5 · US Spent 10k+ (Rather play Whiteout Survival): Hi! I hope this review reaches people before they spend $$$$ on this game. Game is fun. You can drop millions and be super strong and rule. But save it and move on. Why? ••Your account will never belong to you .. read company regulations. It belongs to plarium who can block it or ban you whenever. •• Game is geared towards people who spend 500-1000+ us
27. [R2] 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
28. [R9] 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
29. [R15] 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
30. [R18] 1/5 · US War of Wallets: I enjoyed this game a for a long time. Gradually the price to pay and grow climbed. Recently the cost has become unrealistic, i find I must buy a pack to achieve minimal success or any growth at all. The game used to give compensation after updates but they removed that as they likewise continually adjust the competitions awarding fewer meaningless prizes and making the checkpoint
31. [R49] 1/5 · US No stars is more appropriate:: I would write a review, but these same reviews are always here. Here for YEARS, so no one could read it anyway. Millions of players?! 950+ kingdoms with an estimated average of 50:ACTIVE PLAYERS. A FAR CRY FROM MILLIONS. Maybe millions of inactive players and abandoned towns…
32. [R52] 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
33. [R229] 3/5 · US Dull: I played the game since release and enjoy it but my main concern is the combat system, most people are in peace shields all the time and the only real pvp in the game is with empty castles that are abandoned and lay around producing rss the times you do fight people they are billion times stronger then you and wipe your troops i want something that will entice players to leave peace shields
34. [R98] 4/5 · US Needs translation: Fun game so far. However it’s annoying not being able to understand my clans chat because there isn’t a translation indicator. It would be helpful!
35. [R313] 3/5 · GB Translation: This game really falls down with its lack of translation facility. Given the international demographic of its players. If it’s too difficult to include a translation program into the game chat, then update the software to allow a player to cut and paste from google translate or any similar program
36. [R60] 1/5 · US Glitch: Game is not adding any of the rewards which I have won . I read all new mail and still no option to claim my rewards and it is not being put in gold , stone , food, iron ext none of it is being added . Please fix .
37. [R122] 5/5 · US Dear Plarium, I’m upset: A couple months ago I got a resources subscription and a development subscription. Once I finished using all my boosts, I still had a massive amount of resources piled up so understandably, I extended my peace treaty. Here’s the problem, yesterday it was due to expire but when I got the notification to renew it, it had already been deactivated for 2 hours. Had the notifica
38. [R131] 3/5 · US Diminished: The game was exciting and fair in the beginning. Then packages weren’t delivered correctly with customer service reply by insinuating it was customer error. Then last straw was rewards for buying Russian museum tickets. If a world wide platform is limited to one country-I won’t choose Russia. This has been an awful experience and led me to games with GOOD SERVICE.
39. [R39] 1/5 · US Needs Landscape mode for iPad: I wanted to play but the game will only display in Portrait mode on an iPad Pro. Only game I’ve ever seen do this. You can’t see much of the playfield in Portrait mode and makes it unplayable for me.
40. [R29] 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
