★★★★ Leonardo Escoto (xleo989x) 5/8/2026 v1.8.1
bugs that make you loose progress/resources. and no support from them to get it back... with the ammount of published games from them, they wouldnt care, i bet every game is a cashgrab, get user get money, good bye. they wont care for retention hence the lack of support
★★★★ Daniel Miller 5/8/2026
Unfortunately, it is not working. After installing, it loads but nothing happends. Unable to tap or release the rockets.
★★★★ Richard Strachan 5/8/2026 v1.9.0
This WAS an amazing game until the last update, now it freezes and heats up my phone so bad that I am just going to have to uninstall it and never play it again. Shame, as I did love the game until now.
★★★★ Chris 5/8/2026 v1.9.0
My Castle has been traded for a lower rated one since yesterday, fix this immediately, I am a paying customer😒😒😒
★★★★ Danny Harding 5/8/2026
dont install
★★★★ Joseph Knoop 5/8/2026
Uses AI in its art. Looks awful.
★★★★ Elliott Hover 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Does not match the ads. there is no physics to the combat. very basic and bland.
★★★★ Jonathan Taylor 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
I 1st want to preface that I WAS enjoying this game, a lot actually. However, the paywall imbalance is absolutely absurd. I'm not against paying for additional things in game but after getting to world 7 I ran into someone who bought the 4 premium hero pack and was destroyed in 5 turns, 1 turn for each of my hero's. It literally sapped every ounce of fun outta the game. I'm not against freemium games but when the whole game structure is PvP, $10 sways the balance hard. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
★★★★ Gavin Chapman 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
It was a good game, although last 3days not all rewards are being given for watching adverts, been missing out on a lot rewards. Even videos to half the time of training etc not working Edit: can't double rewards at all now. Edit: Finished 7th, not received the rewards!!!! Time to delete I think, not putting all those hours in for nothing. Poor game. Edit No response hey?!?! You get so far then they screw you.
★★★★ Richard Quinn 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
every time I watch an ad to get extra wood or gold it always exit out of the game when the ad is finished and when I log back in I have to watch it all over again but it never gives me whatever I was watching the ad for to begin with please fix for more stars
★★★★ Ryan Rama Maulana 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Already bought the Treasure Hunt Event and got nothing in return, scammed :(
★★★★ Oscar Guya Jr. 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Very intrusive ads. The type that auto-clicks and redirects you to other websites, glitches out, or just plain annoying and repetitive. Very pay-to-win despite the volume of ads being thrown your way and encouraged to watch for the freebies. Ads, Ads, Ads. And more Ads.
★★★★ Keefe Chan 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
I paid and played for almost a week. The higher level you get you're basically just playing against bots which really defeats the purpose of being competitive. Nonsense.
★★★★ darren saxon 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
this game does not load, total waste ,worst game ever,crashes at the end of the first game total failure
★★★★ Scott Deville 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
ridiculously long 2 minute+ ads. The ad blocker purchase costs an insane $25 US per month.
★★★★ Donovan Hoy 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
the games is fun and engaging, and having ads to speed stuff up or double rewards is good. HOWEVER!!! it started out with 30 second ads with one button to go back to the game. now I'm getting ads that play back to back(same ad) 4 or 5 times making it 2-3 minutes of ads for the same reward, and I also have to click 4-5 X's to get back to the game. ruins the entire game. fix this problem and you will get 5 stars. update, the ads now don't give you the reward that's promised 50% of the time now.
★★★★ Igor Zherebiatev 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Gameplay suddenly changed 7 may 2026 in the middle of arena 14. about 3500 cups. Now I can not see the opponents castle when aiming and have to spend diamonds on builders, that appeared today out of nowhere. No explanation in the game. Just got to love the game, and got this instead.
★★★★ Eugene Ritchie 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Doesn't work at all on my pixel 7a
★★★★ K G 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
The game is fun but literally you are playing against the BOT, I realised after a few games and now uninstalled
★★★★ Jeremy Carlos 5/7/2026
straight hot trash
★★★★★ Thomas Wright 5/8/2026
nah. I mean it starts fun and then the progression is super slow. weekly challenges are impossible without real money (thats one of the challenges.... to spend real money). no clan system. not optimised for fold style phones. always fighting people with a higher score than you, like seriously always.
★★★★★ Robert. H. A. Lewis 5/8/2026 v1.8.1
the game is good but the ads don't work so you can't claim the rewards :(
★★★★★ Peter Soumanis 5/8/2026 v1.9.0
Game isnt bad, but it is UNPLAYABLE in the latest release , im at Forge 58. Also, 1) the game doesnt honour the Android system "back" icon (the arrow on bottom right), only way to exit is to force close the app 2) When I got to about 500 points the game doesn't return to the main screen after a battle 3) unsure if the player base is small, but after a few turns the game stops finding matches
★★★★★ Jonathan Pham 5/7/2026 v1.9.0
Great fun until they match you with players that have spent money on the game, impossible to beat them unless you also pay, they should at least keep you with people that haven't spent money and vice versa!
★★★★★ Michael Overland 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
Bunch of AI art (I believe). The progression is slower than what I would like. The game makes you repeatedly wait for upgrades you get routinely after each match. There's TONS of free stuff locked behind adds. I'm sick of these types of mobile games. The gameplay is fun though... I just wish nothing was locked behind adds and I could just buy the game for like $7. The game also has a battle pass to it... Seems like it piggy-backed off of a lot of other games.
★★★★★ Ryan Thompson 5/7/2026 v1.8.1
This game is the very definition of "pay-to-win." It's very clear that if you don't spend money on this game you will not win the higher levels. Highly advise not to download this game so you don't waste your time. No matter what the developer claims, you HAVE to spend money to win in this game.
