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. [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
3. [R62] Viking Rise 5/5 · US Excellent: Enjoying it so far. Good progression.
4. [R75] Viking Rise 3/5 · US Whales will Ruin this game: Player Beware! This is a fun game, great graphics, lots of rewards. You don’t need to spend money to have fun…BUT, if Whales (big spenders) decide to take over, the game is ruined. So….Player beware!
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. [R61] Viking Rise 1/5 · US Not Playable: If you play on phones or tablets, it would crash 5 times every minute.
8. [R63] Viking Rise 3/5 · US Getting kicked from the app: The app keeps crashing on me.. I updated my iPad and it still keeps kicking me out
9. [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
10. [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
11. [R119] Viking Rise 1/5 · US Absolutely 0 customer service: 0 update: yes I know I can reach you at any time but I only get automated/AI messages in a loop. I have never had any of the game issues or questions solved or answered properly . Never!This is , again, 0 costumer service .
12. [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
13. [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
14. [R64] Viking Rise 1/5 · US Pay to play: You think you need 100 $ to have a good and strong army? Noooo not even 300 or 1000 or 5000 dollars will be enough, strong players in this game have spent at least 30,000 US dollar to have a strong army that can fight and defend, if you are not rich and ready to spend 30,000 US dollars and above I advise you to stay away.
15. [R90] Viking Rise 3/5 · GB Too expensive to play long term and progress: Love this game (to start with) but the times jump up so high so quickly that it gets boring unless willing to pay big money.
16. [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!
