King's Throne vs Frost & Flame
King's Throne and Frost & Flame both struggle with 'pay-to-win' mechanics and poor customer support, but King's Throne has more severe issues with game-breaking bugs and server merges, making Frost & Flame a slightly better, though still flawed, option.
Both King's Throne and Frost & Flame are free-to-play strategy games with in-app purchases that face significant criticism for their 'pay-to-win' models and unresponsive customer support. While Frost & Flame is also accused of being a money grab, King's Throne additionally suffers from frequent game-breaking bugs, unskippable ads, and disruptive server merges that frustrate long-term players.

- [R4] King's Throne A slog: Very dated gameplay, been playing for a few years and it just becomes tiring with the same few events and bugs and glitches that never get patched. Been trying to get support for some event problems…i’m vip7 and only get useless chatbot responses. They then asked me to submit a review, so here it is. Time to quit, no more money from me!
- [R6] King's Throne Idk: It’s ok but I don’t like the fact that it says I’m a male when the character is female. I feel like if we have the option to be a female then it should have that as a role not a nephew but a niece, or instead of a son a daughter. I just feel like it should be an option. As well as the maiden thing why give a male as an option but still call them a female
- [R12] King's Throne It’s ok: If you want a game to press buttons and collect items when your waiting for something this is the game
- [R18] King's Throne Interesting idea: Overhaul, I find the game interesting and easy to get. You grow your kingdom, find consorts to procure heirs. And you level up heroes.
- [R1] King's Throne Potential, but malfunctions: It has potential. I was starting to have fun with it. But then it would start to show ads at random times, which I am okay with for a free game. But the ads would go on and on, and literally there was no way to get out of them and back to the game without quitting. It became unplayable and I am deleting it.
- [R7] King's Throne Game lags and unfair practices poor support: Not only games have lags but also a poor support. When you report a bug or issue either your ticket gets closed without resolution or explanation or never get answered. When you pay in game there are not only hidden charges but also issue in top up Quantities. I will say Don’t waste time playing this game even if you do enjoy playing free don’t waste a
- [R9] King's Throne Enjoy but has unfixed errors: I enjoy the game in most aspects but when trying to use items in my bag like prestige points it does not transfer over to where I can actually use them. I tried contacting the creators but still hasn't been resolved months later. It’s a good game and fun to play besides that issue.
- [R25] King's Throne Fun at the beginning … until devs start doing server merges: Stay away, and don’t get invested in this game. It’s fun & interesting to start … until the devs start messing you over with their server merges. You will spend a lot time, effort, and money building up your strength and abilities. Then out of the blue, the devs will merge a ton of their servers into one. As an example in the most recent
- [R30] King's Throne Shady stuff things aren’t always what they seem: If you invest into this game or app, you will notice that at times the purchase of gems / exp points don’t equal out that amount of gems and experience points you spent. Don’t know if it is equal to amounts spent. But after trying to make contact multiple times of trying to make contact no replies or resolution so if you decide you take your funds
- [R40] King's Throne Pay to play rip off: Events don’t last long enough to get anything good without paying real money, gameplay repeats quickly with no real reward. The bots that play are so far above you anything that is PVP you get knocked out instantly.
- [R13] King's Throne I used to love this game: They only allow you 24 hours to redeem all of the rewards that you spend 7 days building in the games and now refuse to assist if you miss a day. I’m a long time player of this game and won’t spend anymore money on this game simply because it’s ridiculous to think everyone can play this game every day to keep up with the rewards and not miss out. Be cautious, their cus
- [R49] King's Throne Deleted my account: It’s time to get rid of this, the game play has made no sense. The “Heroes” upgrades are inconsistent, you don’t know how to truly level up your character, it’s just a game with random ideas to be played. You are not able to upgrade your characters without spending a lot of money and time to get successful. I’d rather play “Sonic The Hedgehog Race Game “.
- [R58] King's Throne If you like spending cash money on games this is it: Takes forever to get anything. Instructions are poor. Even though graphics are good, I quickly became bored with it. If you don’t spend hundreds of dollars you do nothing
- [R64] Frost & Flame Misleading: This game is misleading, once you start the game it will be impossible to catch up to the average player without spending a couple grand. The game has multiple bugs that the developers refuse to fix, yes they actually refuse to fix them. The whole game is money money money. FTP can never catch up to a spender without being s massive gap. If you start the game it's best time buy an acco
- [R68] Frost & Flame Honest review from a VIP member: Look; the game is fun, it’s exciting but to win you will need to spend. I’m not talking about $100 maybe $500 a week minimum or so. You have some big spenders here. If you are willing to pay. The game is addicting and fun. I honestly don’t like how everything gets shoved down your throat to spend and still be top rank player. Like… slow down and let me enjoy my rec
- [R79] Frost & Flame Greedy: Been playing since it came out, started lunar then went to solar, i stayed because of my investment but the devs are just money hungry, they bring new events just focus on pay 2 win and quickly throw new items in to make people spend more and more definitely at peak times.. this game is sinking
- [R85] Frost & Flame Expensive: Gameplay was okay, but it definitely has a lot of slow periods and some glitches. I found out that it would cost literally 10’s of thousands of dollars to keep up by the end of a few weeks. Sadly, I learned that developers are playing in every kingdom, trying to trick players into spending substantial amounts of money to keep up. Developers can level up their characters quickly, requiri
