1. [R4] Vikings 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
2. [R10] Vikings 1/5 · US If I could give it 0 stars, I would: My next entry: they just broke the game and are again, lying about it! They added a new feature Monster Generator (which allows the player to create an invader or ghost on their own.) I believe this feature was introduced without adequate testing because now, no resource lairs are produced when killing ghosts or invaders. These resource locations are the lite
3. [R68] Island War 5/5 · US Amazing: This game is so fun! There are so many things you can do in the game that really elevates the gameplay to make it soooo much more fun.
4. [R74] Island War 5/5 · US A very open game, where you can do a lot of stuff: This game shows like the more you work hard you get better stuff and you get what you want and it makes it fun because it makes you feel proud when you complete something
5. [R9] Vikings 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
6. [R12] Vikings 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
7. [R66] Island War 3/5 · US I lost 2k gems randomly: So the game itself is super fun but while I was playing right after the dragon event was over I lost 2k gems randomly I hope you guys are able to give me my gems back if you can my user is rain• please give me back my gems that I lost for some reason other then that the game is really fun and enjoyable
8. [R78] Island War 3/5 · US Game: I really enjoy playing the game. But I’m tired of it kicking me out the game in the middle of a battle.
9. [R3] Vikings 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
10. [R31] Vikings 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
11. [R61] Island War 2/5 · US Doesn’t reward long term players: I think there are a lot of bots writing reviews. The game is fine. Can be engaging while you are building troops but there comes a time when you have gone as far as you can. Even after spending lots and lots… It’s always been the buggy and or inconsistent in game play. And the game doesn’t reward you for getting far. Lots of messages like ‘coming soon’. And t
12. [R70] Island War 1/5 · US Games going downhill: Frequent, unannounced changes in the mechanics of the game is fairly frustrating but until recently only required adjusting strategy. Currently the defensive aspect has been severely nerfed to the point where defensive strategies are useless and offensive strategies are unnecessary. There is currently no strategy required to find success and the game is boring. Hard to justif
13. [R1] Vikings 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!
14. [R19] Vikings 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
15. [R73] Island War 1/5 · US DON’T DO IT!!!! It’s a money grab!!: I downloaded this game 2 years ago and it was a great game up until now. At this point the game gets little to no support from the developers or whoever is running the game. There have been many updates to include new troops, maps, and game modes, but the main component is the AI, and it’s performing very poorly. This is a pay to play, so if you want to sp
16. [R107] Island War 1/5 · US Thieves: Sad what the devs have done here, started backing thieves in the game who take from others. Save your time and go find a game from company who wants to listen to their players. Pay to play game now so prepare to be $1-2K in if you want to be towards the top.
17. [R16] Vikings 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
18. [R52] Vikings 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
19. [R82] Island War 1/5 · US Gameplay support: Who do I contact about a glitch in the gameplay?? The only contact on your site is for developers.
20. [R100] Island War 1/5 · US Chinese owned: Expect to get zero help if there is a glitch. The help is untrained people that cannot do anything. Throw your money out the window instead.
