Spending contest? Complete and total scam
When you open this app, they bombard you with no less than 7 advertisements that you have to “X” out. Tonight’s flavor was “Journey of Surprises”… Can you guess what that surprise was? A DECORATION. But it’s not free, you get the privilege of PURCHASING that decoration for $200. Let me break it down… When you purchase ornament, it gives you a 0.03% boost over your opponents. Overtime, the wealthy players purchased several of these decorations, and they become invincible to regular players, so the only way you can defeat them is by… PURCHASING THE ORNAMENT. And then the cycle continues… Get it? Do you see how it’s a scam now? No matter how much talent you have, how much brain power you have, how much time you put in, you will never, ever, EVER, EVER in your life, be able to compete a player who’s paid for upgrades. Even if you treat this game like a full-time job and put in 8 hours a day, over the span of 5 years, you still wouldn’t be able to collect enough XP to put a scratch on the wallet warriors. Do you hear me? Not even a scratch. Think about that, for a second… When only way to advance is the spend money, you end up in a competition to outspend the other players. That’s a pyramid scam. AND THE BIGGEST INSULT OF ALL? This app literally has SPENDING CONTESTS. No, I’m not joking. At least once a week, the app initiates a challenge where the team who spends the most money wins a stupid ornament!!! ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF NEVADA, yet Apple allows these Chinese con artists to pray upon, and rip off low will-powered Americans. I was one of them and they scammed me, but because they misrepresented their game through social media ads, I was able to recoup 100% of my credit card disputes and get back $800 of my money, and I suggest you do the same. Any smart gamer will uninstall this app, because it’s not a game, it’s an absolute scam. And you wouldn’t believe how much money these people are making. One guy in our alliance spent over $25,000 on his city. Did it make him happy? No. He was always miserable. Camel Games has cracked the code on how to scam millions and millions of dollars by preying on people’s insecurities. Everyone who downloaded this app is depressed, lonely, or gullible. Do you know how I know they are gullible? Because if they weren’t, they would’ve never clicked on the advertisement and downloaded this app or given this corrupt company a single dollar. And to add insult to injury, they still won’t fix all of the bugs and glitches. Some of them have existed for years. With all the revenue that they are raking in, you would think that they would reinvest a small portion of that money into making an enjoyable gaming experience, but instead they pocket the money and never add any substantial improvements to the app. Notice how I always call this an “app” and not a game. That’s because it’s not a game… IT’S A SCAM.
Slow
This game is worse than watching baseball. You can play, then you have to stop, you can play, then you have to stop. Jesus man let me play the dang game
Update messed everything up
I can’t heal after I’m attacked and have lost half my troops. Wtf
Dont be fooled by ads
The mini games is whats advertised and draws you into a download. However the mini game is an insignificant minority of the game play. How about make a game that’s is only the mini game! Instead you are building bases that takes forever, they dangle another mini game that the hook you with at the begging once you build your base to a certain level eventually they funnel you down to the point where you have no choice but to spend money to upgrade your base to get to a 2 minute mini game.
Stay Away - Be Aware
Game uses deceptive marketing to lure players into what is a mostly boring Pay2Win game. No amount of strategy, tactics or any gameplay going to change the simple fact - you have pay to win the game or enjoy past a few simple hours.
Facts:
$0 spenders get beat senseless by anyone who spends within the first few days.
$100/week spenders get beat senseless by $500/week spenders.
Why play a game that demands hours a day of your time yet where your only enjoyment will be if you empty your bank account?

They customer service is trash
Trashy customer service
Unfair and if you spend the money, you can cheat by purchasing an account
In world 175 a player named Uji purchased an account from gold. The most powerful account in 175. This violation of game rules. Has been reported over 25 times. And evidence has been shown also evidence where he bragged on national chat that if an alliance spent more money then him maybe camel would ban him. Camel refuses to enforce their own rules, preventing cheating. As long as you spend enough money.
It appears this company has no integrity.

This Game is bugged
They won’t pass the game or update the game so that everyone, including all of the old cities and castle have the Mercenary survivor building. So if you have a old castle, you won’t be playing the new mini games which are old now and they won’t patch the game. It’s been years. You shouldn’t have to start a whole Newcastle to play the mini games.
Doesn’t work
Can’t get game to play! Just bounces you around a map that leads to no where
Too many cash grabs!!!
I would not recommend this game, especially if you have an addictive personality. I played for over 1 year and people were spending thousands of dollars trying to keep up with constant upgrades, just to remain competitive…
There are other games for free which are more satisfying. Save your money and save yourself a headache!

Not for children
Foul language in chat. Bullying and demeaning chat and messages.
Pay to win
At first when you start playing the game it’s fun and exciting as you get to explore and upgrade your city. But as you keep playing you’ll soon realize that the game rewards those that put more money into the game, basically you just have to be rich in real life to have power and dominate on the others. If your are looking for a free to play game that involves strategy this game is definitely not it. If you do still want to try it out, there’s so much more that you have to do as a free to play player. The game basically forces you to have 6-7 accounts that you have to play in every day also know as a farm. This is in order to actually progress as a free to play player and honestly it gets boring on the long run. The game would be better if it had another side that’s only free to play
Dog rock party event doesn’t exit
I can’t upgrade my town hall because dog rock event decoration doesn’t exist
Money
Don’t bother playing if you don’t plan on spending
Money pit
If you have too much money, play this game. It will be fun. But will cost more than a car payment.
Nothing like the ads
All we want is something like the ads. I’m sure this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I know someone who filed against a game and won because it looked nothing like the ads
Hack
It’s a money scheme. The Chinese version is 10x cheaper. They have employees in every nation who build their cities for free so no matter how much you spend you will always need more upgrades to keep up
Customer wants your App to disappear from her page.
I hate your idiotic games. Please, disappear from my life forever! Another way way I will write to your general manager!
Beware of Double Charging
I finally freed myself of this game after playing since the beginning of Covid19 aka China Flu.
My major gripe and turn off was when I discovered that I had been double billed on a number of purchases. When I disputed the charges, this Chinese software company simply denied this.
Beware and always check your statements.

Another dishonest ad
This game is lame. You have to build stuff for most of it. Very little of the game is the shooting that’s advertised. Tell your marketing team to be honest and STOP WASTING PEOPLE’S TIME!
Fake game
Ad is a click bait for their game, game is completely different and boring.
Game got greedy
I really enjoyed the game and meeting people around the world, but the game got greedy and just caters to whales. If you don’t have a lot of money, don’t bother playing. They just add more stuff to buy all the time to separate the whales from the regular spenders and free players. And of course if you don’t pay, you fall behind.
Another of the fake ad games
Cool fun game in the ad. Boring build a city and join an alliance game.
Graphics are good
The graphics are good. The gameplay is horrible. Not what I expected.
Very Misleading
There is nothing in this game that looks like the advertisement. This is a Pay to Play game. Do not invest.
Fun if you spend money and like to deal with toxic farmers
This game starts off fun. It lets level up quickly at first and introduces new things that keep you interested. But as you progress, it changes quickly and you’re forced to spend a ton more money. Some of the items you need to stand a chance require money. Of course, even if you spend money, the top alliances keep attacking constantly so that your city can never progress and it’s almost impossible to level up or maintain troop levels. Unless you dump a ton of money buying resources and time bumps, it’s really painful.
They coordinate bullying you. I was attacked an entire week. I teleported and they still would find me. And, I was part of an alliance at the time. I quickly realized if you’re not in the top alliance, the game will suck. It’s like being punch in the face when already down. Even when I got on an alliance I thought was better, I just experience hostile toxic people. I really didn’t run into nice people in my world. I know it’s a war game. But, it’s just a game. People acted this is real at times.
This a BULLY SIMULATOR. My guess is that the developer knows this and won’t change the mechanics of the game. They want you to be frustrated and for you to try buy your way out being crushed.
The world I was in was supposed be a US (per flags). But it was packed with Korean and Russian players. Which I don’t mind. However, communication is a pain as most players are communicating off US hours. And, expect to be attacked at night all the time.
Lastly, the game seems to be litter with abandon cities or players with a ton of farms cities. So, many times you can accidentally attack someone’s farm and they attack you forever as retaliation. It’s a mess. It’s so bad that it’s hard to even teleport anywhere as there are abandon cities everywhere.
Anyway, I’ll be deleting this game. I guess my cities be another abandon one. They don’t seem to clean up by themselves. It’s a money pit with farmers selling resources and bullying you constantly. It was an interesting experiment. Unless you like to waste money, don’t bother with this game. Don’t be sucked into this based on the mini games.

Don’t download unless you like spending money.
If you aren’t the type to spend hundreds of dollars then this ain’t the game for you.
Alliance deleted + Game not opening
I was in an alliance with people, but at some point they were unable to get back in. The screen would load but it would just bring him back to the home screen. As time passed by I went back to check the game but for some reason the alliance was deleted. There was no way that it could be deleted unless he logged back in to do this, which isn’t a possibility because he still was unable to get back in. I would like to know the reason of why he can’t get into the game, as well as why the alliance was deleted.
Feels like false advertising, gameplay in ads doesn’t exist
The App Store preview shows a zombie lane-combat mode that is not actually accessible in the game. After early progression, it becomes a totally different game with menus, non-zombie related boring event quests (a stupid card matching game???), a world map, alliance politics (your alliance makes you stay under a certain BP or they destroy your base) The advertised gameplay, which is actually fun, disappears and cannot be replayed. It should be one of the weekly events, or a daily quest, but no… it completely disappears. Also where’s the zombies? This is misleading and feels like false advertising.
Need to spend money
You need to spend money in order to get anywhere. Not only that when you do spend money, you get nowhere. This game is psychological warfare for your wallet.
Barely any gameplay
You’ll spend most of your time tapping around your phone skipping some dumb story and completing endless tasks to build your base. Lame
Show accurate advertisements.
Game is nothing like the ads.
Terrible Game
Got this game, after seeing the countless advertisements, and after a few games it froze. Paid my $.99 and it still did nothing. A total ripoff.
Fun but toxic
The game is really fun in the starting levels but as you get higher, you encounter the top 3 alliances that pretty much attacks anyone that disagrees with them in nation chat or join them.
I would suggest not spending any money until later and see how your nation is. Mine was pretty toxic and the top three alliances would attack and plunder others that were in the top three or their “farm alliances”
My nation was 1386, so if you land there I’d suggest starting somewhere else.

Just another deceptive ad zombie game
The title says it all, don’t waste your time
Not as advertised
Game does not match what is shown in preview.
Tower defense?
The five minutes of tower defense is locked behind 35 hours of city building
Absolutely terrible game
Do not play this game. They make it impossible to play without p2w. You also will get attacked relentlessly by other people making it impossible to gain power. If you wanna play a scheme game like this just play Whiteout Survival, they at least have rules and you can progress easier. Waste of time game, wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. PS, it’s not like the ads anyway don’t bother downloading. 0/5 stars
The worst
Pay to play garbage. Perfect for the narcissistic one upper who sucks at real games so they drop tons of money for “power”. There’s also a fair amount of people that exploit young women to share pictures of themselves in exchange for in game money. Quite sick and I can’t believe apple still allows this garbage Chinese game. If your into nudes and poor gameplay and constant tension between players while the game freezes and you lose everything you worked for this game is for you. Don’t let anyone find out your real name or they may ruin your life in real life!
Total Scam
The relentless money grab is next level obnoxious. The apps gameplay is completely destroyed by the developers greed.
The tower defense would be good if they spent some time developing new maps vs reusing lower level maps as you progress. This is just lazy & a true testament to how much the pursuit of money is all the developer cares about.
It’s Really sad

It’s Really sad
The game
This game is not the same
Communist Dictatorship practice
I’ve been playing this game for about four years now if not more and what I’ve learned about it one, of course you need money and the prices are ridiculous, but the most interesting factor here is how a player can become a dictator and control the rest of the players by implementing bogus rules and start bullying people and pushing them out. And it the same repetitive events and actions. Officially boring and annoying with the people who pay to pay and then bully.
critically acclaimed
controls are to lame
Game not AT ALL like the advertising!
Bait and switch game. The promos for the game is nothing like the game unless i suppose you spend a lot of money, but even then its still not clear if you could actually get to the puzzles they are advertising. Huge disappointment and am deleting.
I’m done
Tired of building for months then the higher level players raid and take everything and you have to start over.
Hardcore Pay to Play
I played this game for several hours knowing fully well there was going to be some pay to play but omg did I misunderstand the level of pay to play this is. You pretty much cannot advance past a certain point without spending money. You are stuck waiting hours to move forward without paying. The actual combat element is super fun…you know the little tiny snippet you see in the ads. Yea that part is a blast but that part is literally 3% of the game the rest of the time you’re essentially doing chores around your city. Love it for two seconds then immediately became overwhelmed with the amount it tried pushing you to buy upgrades.
They Forced Me to Quit
I have played this game quite a lot over the past year and overall I really enjoyed it until today. Despite the screenshots, this is more of a strategy game with a touch of 3rd person zombie killing. You build a city, gather resources, raise an army, join an alliance with other players to participate in events, all to upgrade the city, improve the army, and battle players in opposing alliances in your particular world. Once you’re established in a world, you can’t change. Recently it was announced that my world would be merged with another. Inside each world are a few super powerful players who dictate rules for their respective worlds. My existing world has been good but The rules are different in the new world and today I was notified that I would not be allowed to advance further because I’m not strong enough. I actually feel a certain kind of way right now. I don’t want to quit but I don’t have any choice because the strong players can and will swat me like a fly and end my journey on a whim. So thus ends my time and money spent on this game.
Boring. Why can’t I just attack zombies?
Got this game because the clips posted in various ads seemed fun. It’s very tedious and you hardly ever get to actually shoot at zombies. Nearly all of the time you spend on this game is clicking on things and waiting on timers. This is rarely a tower defense game, it’s just Farmville set in a zombie dystopia. I want to play a game, not wait an hour for my science station to get to level 6 so that I can get my town hall to level 5 in order to get attempts to recruit officers to raise my XP and then go to the world map to tap on things that each take several minutes or longer to happen so that I can…it goes on and on and on, and after you’ve been playing for an hour you’ve gotten to actually shoot zombies a few times at most. I find it really annoying and bit insulting that the ads for the game don’t show you what playing the game is actually like.
