  1. [R3] Total Battle 3/5 · US Not quite what is advertised: The game play is all over the map. What you see in ads is fun, until you’re completely blocked from playing because you have to complete these insane tasks. Just let us play the game. Oh and you need WiFi/service. It’s an A for effort, but a big pass for me sadly.
  2. [R21] Total Battle 3/5 · US Misleading advertising: While the game is fun, and offers this specific playing mode, it is very limited, and hasn’t been revisited since I started playing a few years ago. It is largely a pay to play game and is designed to make you heavily rely on paid resources to be competitive.
  3. [R67] Evony 1/5 · US Terrible game: Absolutely horrible game. Nothing like the ads whatsoever. “Our ads highlight the mid game content and require dedication to appreciate the depth of the game” no one plays this game for the mid game content or the storyline! People see the ads and want to play those, not watch yall move the goalposts and push the actually exciting content behind a bunch of monotonous garbage. Do not
  4. [R75] Evony 3/5 · US False advertising: I thought it was like the pictures they have before you download it. It’s just another castle building game. I am over them.
  5. [R6] Total Battle 3/5 · US Kinda fun: So basically, your game is pretty fun and I like the feature where you can like move side to side and like get people and try to defeat the monsters but I think the game is a little complicated overall because it’s telling me to like teleport like I’m a new player, but it’s telling me to teleport and build portals and upgrade these houses and I’ll do all this other stuff. I kinda just w
  6. [R16] Total Battle 1/5 · US Hate it: Of course, after just a few rounds, there’s no way to play without paying money. Overly complicated and so many unnecessary steps and storylines in between being able to play Rounds. Some people like that kind of thing, but I find it to be a drag.
  7. [R64] Evony 1/5 · US Fail.: I know! we should get a brain dead millennial to create a game where there’s no instructions and you can’t figure out what you’re supposed to do next. Leave the screen completely blank with no menu so that you have to swipe up and quit the program to get it to stop playing. Uninstalled. garbage.
  8. [R72] Evony 3/5 · US It took me 3 years to quit…: I don’t know why all the advertisements for this game are fake. There is zero shooting with monsters and guns. Instead, it’s a slow grinding city builder with no real action and requires real money to achieve anything in a reasonable amount of time.
  9. [R39] Total Battle 3/5 · GB Glitching like mad: The game has been glitching like CRAZY - so draining to play these day having to come in and out and then again. Today the game crashed maybe 30+ times, what’s going on? Everytime there’s a new event you have all of this slow down. So exhausting. When the game runs well, it can be fine. But honestly you have to pay a lot to get the good stuff and also to stay in the game. Would
  10. [R40] Total Battle 1/5 · US Support: Game is fun but the support team is lacking. I’ve had multiple questions that I’ve submitted over the last few days and none of them have been answered. In addition, have spent hundreds of dollars on this game and have just been locked out with no explanation as to why. Due to the time sensitivity of events can’t help but feel like they just stole my money.
  11. [R76] Evony 1/5 · US Won’t run on iPad: The game crashes non stop on iPad. Many people in my alliance have this problem and it has been getting worse with every update. Customer support closes tickets without resolving or just plain ignores them. I cannot do the simple things necessary to participate in the game at this point.
  12. [R109] Evony 1/5 · US The game is broken for apple users and they won’t fix it: There has been a bug that makes the game unplayable for many players on apple products for over 2 months now. They know about it, admit it exists, claim to be working on it for the last two months, but each update makes it worse. Players cannot access major parts of the game to protect themselves from attack so they lose resources they paid
  13. [R9] Total Battle 3/5 · US The ultimate pay-to-play&win game: If you don’t mind paying tons of money, this game can be fun. I definitely think they hired some psychologists to figure out how to get people to spend money in a game. The first day they give you all the perks, after that you have to start paying for them and it is not cheap…at all. If you’re exceedingly patient and don’t mind waiting five days between actions
  14. [R18] Total Battle 3/5 · US Pay: The game is nice, but after a while, they want you to pay for coins to play the game. That’s what I don’t like.
  15. [R70] Evony 1/5 · US Rip off!: Don’t play. Expensive & Glitchy game. What’s promised is not delivered. You will have to spend $500.00+ a months just to keep up and be average player.
  16. [R78] Evony 3/5 · US Money is power: It is an amazing game but through the years the developers decided it was all about money. So if there’s anything in this game that you need, you have to pay and pay and pay and pay and it never stops.
  17. [R83] Evony 5/5 · US Customer Support: Customer support is quick and helpful. You get to communicate with a real person!!
  18. [R118] Evony 5/5 · GB Awesome support: I cannot thanks Evony Support words would never express how grateful I am to,the whole team.. Having unforeseen issues that had nothing to do with Evony. The team were able to restore to me many years of work that I had lost due an ungrateful family member who deleted my work. Support was just truly awesome I was reassured from my first contact with support from very compassionate
