  1. [R2] Gods of Olympus 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

  8. [R6] Gods of Olympus 3/5 · US This game program is falling apart.: The more that I play, The more it malfunctions
  9. [R9] Gods of Olympus 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.
  10. [R16] Gods of Olympus 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
  11. [R61] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US DO NOT SPEND MONEY IN THIS GAME: Not only are the rewards not even close to the monetary value but the game is always sub buggy and crashing. I've been through all the highs and lows and it's time to retire the game.
  12. [R12] Gods of Olympus 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
  13. [R20] Gods of Olympus 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
  14. [R22] Gods of Olympus 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.

  18. [R67] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Garbage AI: The AI in this game is terrible and you developers know it. I’ve been playing this game for 10+ years and the way these AI fight now is laughably bad. Frame-perfect, flawless gameplay from these overpowered champions you create nowadays. What else would we expect from you greedy losers though? Game has been pay to win for every single year it’s ever been out. The way the AI plays now i
  19. [R70] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Worst fighter: The worst fighter I've ever played. How can your opponent activate defense during your ultimate, and why can't I do the same? The game doesn't register your commands. I press the upper attack, but the character does the lower one. They inflated the reviews but forgot to make a decent game. It sucks 👎 · translated
  20. [R94] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US So ******* rigged!!!!!: Literally everything about this game is rigged, the bots always get power ups that you could never get and the system always puts you against other fighters that are triple the power of your team and they nonstop always bug you with offers to take your money. Whoever created this game either needs to fix this rigged system like they’re actually supposed to do if they actual
  21. [R99] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · GB So unfair: So I was playing a game and I had a hero with 1,300 more rating than the other character and twice the health and I lost with the opponent having 30 percentage health left so I put in another hero and they lost with 800 more rating and nearly 3 times the health not to mention in another game my opponent got the 3rd special ability more than I could get the 1st! Please balance this! And
