- [R2] DomiNations Good game, fix commanders: The game used to be better and is still great, but now, it’s become less strategic due to commanders being overpowered. You could bring an entire anti-commander squad in and it would get wiped out in one hit. The only criticism I have is that commanders are to powerful. Still great in terms of city building and progression.
- [R9] DomiNations Pretty good: This game is probably one of the best games in the app store (although that isn’t saying much) and it’s a pretty well rounded game. However, there are quite a few bugs and the AI is pretty bad. Also whoever added the commanders deserves life in prison, those things one-shot almost every unit at level one and completely ruin the game. I mean every time I try to attack someone, Riply so
- [R92] Rise of Cultures This game is amazing: You get to experience different historical eras and civilizations, from ancient times to later ages, and learn about technologies along the way. The graphics are cute and beautiful, and the gameplay is relaxing. I love this game!!!
- [R102] Rise of Cultures Pay to win, bugs, few improvements: Have played for a long time. This is a pay to win game and the devs constantly push overpriced advancements or items. Worse, the game regularly suffers from bugs that the devs take weeks or months to fix. Once you have made it through some different ages, you will see that each new one is basically the same mechanic with a different skin. Edit: in response to t
- [R3] DomiNations Crash Crash Crash: If you can get yourself through an entire attack without the game crashing and disconnecting from the servers. Count your blessings. Because a miracle just happened. It’s a good game otherwise. Just be prepared to attack with your troops and then lose them when the game crashes and you have to recook them all and select new ones from reinforcements, because they’re gone into the
- [R58] DomiNations Game Constantly Freezes & You Lose Money: This game constantly freezes and crashes. You lose resources you buy and/or are forced to buy unnecessary resources because their game constantly freezes and crashes. It’s so annoying. It really ruins the fun of the game. I’ve reached out to customer service multiple times and it still keeps happening. They won’t even refund you when this happens. It’s a t
- [R64] Rise of Cultures Keeps Freezing. Almost unplayable.: Been playing for about an hour. I’m interested in how the game progresses, but every 5-10 minutes the game options stop being clickable and the menus and buttons become disabled. Nothing is clickable. I have to close the app and restart for it to let me continue. Could be a 4-5 star if it wasn’t so glitchy.
- [R70] Rise of Cultures After latest update the game crashes every 5 min.: The latest build has been horrendous. After latest update the game crashes every 5 min. Extremely disappointed with this latest update. And just to follow up. It was not resolved by resetting any server. From my side I have deleted and reinstalled. There is something definitely buggy with the previous update that this latest update DID NOT res
- [R49] DomiNations App Crashes: The app crashes when open the council and multiplayer battles.
- [R52] DomiNations Crashy crashy: New update causes app to crash when you open the council and try to start multiplayer battles.
- [R13] DomiNations Would not recommend: Constant Money Grab complete pay to win. No balance between offense and defense .
- [R72] Rise of Cultures Fun but another pay to advance game 😢: Ok but not a fan of pay to play games
- [R81] Rise of Cultures Money trap: It’s a game that demands you make it your weekly priority and is constantly scamming for money.
- [R54] DomiNations Be careful. They take your money.: I have been playing this game for years. Their support is horrible and the game has bugs. In June this year my daughter bought me some credits for Father’s Day and I didn’t receive what she bought. They keep running me in circles trying to wear me down. I am done and filing formal complaints.
- [R97] Rise of Cultures No support: I’ve been playing for some time, I’m in High Middle Ages and now things are broken. Market stopped working, can’t build anything because it says you don’t have resources. But worse, no support at all, no email, no reporting options, no moderators, not a thing.
- [R109] Rise of Cultures Bugs: I have contacted ROC at least 25 times about the problems with your negotiation game. It is not registering when gems are purchased. This time I lost two free item tickets and my materials. FIX THIS! You keep responding that you are fixing this. Meanwhile we lose money and materials and you do nothing to make your customers whole when they lose materials and money because of the bugs in your
