Only for millionaires
The game is severely lopsided and geared for heavy spenders. Evony is trash unless you ready to spend 10’s of thousands of dollars.
Misleading Advertising
The game is not like their advertising. It’s a medieval kingdom building game. Honestly it’s very mediocre compared to others in the same genre.
Worst game
Worst game ever I hate the game and I hate the ads
Fake
None of these games are like what they show you!
A terrible and misleading game
The ads for this game are literally shoved down your throats and the gameplay is setup to make you spend money. Not for old school gamers like myself who play with skill and not your wallets. I deleted this game after realizing this game was made to profit from players.
Trash
I never even played the game except on ads where the devs act like braindead re t ard s in which it immediately froze and I died but I’m just leaving this one star here because of how bad the stupid devs are at showing off their own game. I’m deleting it now. Maybe play better and show more in ads instead of role playing as a toddler who’s never played a mobile game before.
Nothing like ad
This is like a first world game with building upgrades. Nothing like the advertisement at all
DO NOT PLAY
This “game” exists only to extract money from players. The ads have nothing to do with the game.
At least look at the “controversy” section of the Wikipedia page before you download it.

Like the ads, but way worse
Just another in an endless sea of poorly made, low effort, boring cash grabs. Do not waste your time. Do not give them money. They do not deserve your money or time.
Hmm
This game is honestly boring as hell , do not download this game if you don’t plan on wasting your life on a game made to take 100 years to get anything done , they want you to pay 1000$ s of dollars just to get ahead in the game this game is not it , the pictures you see on the apps details are straight lies don’t fall for it I’m partitioning for this game to be removed and banned from the App Store .
Pay to play
This used to be a good strategy game until it “unofficially” became a pay to play game. Don’t waste your time, unless you want to spend a potentially endless amount of money to progress through this game.
Nothing like ad
This game adds so much complexity to what could be a simple game. You pay to play or wait a day to level up so you can unlock a new level… don’t bother with this one.
Terrible decision
The moment I try the game it’s super laggy my game crashed like 10 times and plus a lot of adds I get
Bots
They say bots aren’t allowed but they are on every server. You email customer service showing them proof it is a bot and the account owner admitting he’s using a bot and nothing happens. Not even the players who spend thousands of dollars can keep up with a bot running 24/7.
Don’t Fall For It
Whatever add you saw, this isn’t the same game. Sure, they have a little bit of the mini games in the beginning, but this is a pay to win, intense, time consuming, life consuming addiction. Very, very few people escape Evony without paying. And when I say paying, $3,000 won’t make a dent in what you need. Time consuming, addicting, and impossible to win without major coining.
Bait and Switch
The game is nothing like the ads.
Bad game
Deceptive commercial
Selective reporting and complicit to big spender abusers
This game allows the big spenders to abuse players and allow them to discriminate players and create false violations without proper transparency: while they know all servers big players use third party software to cheat to collect resources and don’t ban them
Worst game ever
It’s repetitive and boring.
Scam
Don’t download it’s not the game.

Garbage
SO SHOCKED THAT ITS NOT LIKE THAT AD! Not…screw these apps. I’d actually play it if it was just the game shown.
Not like the ads…
It’s just another empire building game with tons of upgrades that favor those whales who spend tons of money.
oh I’m mad..
You changed your whole game for the nonsense of red and blue moving things, go back to your normal game!
Lie
The ads have ZERO to do with game. It’s false advertising
Deceptive and disappointing.
You only spend a small amount of time shooting targets. Rest is spent trying to build some alliance, upgrade buildings, and figuring out WHY THE HECK YOU EVER downloaded this App. IT MAKES NO SENSE! Horrible game.
Don’t waste your time.
Don’t even bother playing this game as it is not as advertised in the photos. This is hands down a PvP game that encourages you into spending money and drowns you in popups for you to spend money as soon as you load into the game. When you do spend money, congrats! You just played yourself. Now you get the urge to spend more as they dangle the carrot in front of you and you will never be satisfied until you spend and spend. The best way they get you to spend is to plant players in new servers that “spend money” then go rogue and turn the server toxic so you spend your own money to “beat the bully” and all of a sudden there is “peace” when enough players are spending money in that server.
Can’t play
Did not let me play after a while and did not tell me what to do
Bad
Ads show completely different game
Another dev response from me
You said the same thing to both my reviews still a one star I wish that there was a 0 star rating cause that’s what u need
This is B$
The game is nothing like advertised, it’s glitchy and boring and the micro transactions screams this is a pay to win game. No thanks. * Uninstalled *
Pay to play and lying ads don’t touch this game
I got clickbaited to this game because i thought that it could be a fun game but it was just so PAY TO WIN everything I don’t have enough of this “would you like to pay 300,500 bucks for a piece of this” I thought it was a game that you shoot barrels to get stuff and like bro stop lying AND people who get ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THEY WANT or those who got rich just pay for all the stuff get a massive bonus and then you get cooked by a lvl one no strats just pay then also BALANCE YOUR CASHGRAB GAME the amount of money that you have to spend to win it is insane and I think it’s not even close to being able to be played by free to plays!
Don’t subject yourself to the toxicity
The graphics are beautiful but that doesn’t make up for the toxic environment. The game allows bullying, account sharing, 3rd party bots. It will not enforce the Terms of Service against players if they spend a lot of money, even with clear evidence and repeated violations. It just isn’t worth devoting your time, effort or money to be subjected to the rampant abuse in this game.
Platform for Harassment
This game has divulged into a platform for constant harassment. I’m shocked no body has committed suicide yet because of the developers lack of enforcing their own TOS. Mega coiners have taken control of most servers and try to harass others into quitting the game. It is basically a joke and money grab now. And don’t believe any of the developers responses on any review. They are the worse and paid for the cheapest AI they could find to push your complaints down the line.
Coining dictators ruin the game on server 120
I installed because of the puzzles, but the game is basically like game of thrones, with dictators who spend thousands of dollars to become big and bad and then go around attacking the little guys who farm and steal all your resources. If you want to be sad and depressed for getting your butt kicked every day then download this game. If you want to blow all your savings to progress, load this game.
The game could be fun, but mean bullies ruin it.
The game is not fun when u get your castle leveled daily. Now I have to put up a shield every day because of attacks.
This game sucks because bullies are in control, it’s no fun…

I’m sick of these games
First of all… the game looks one way in the ads and is another way in the game… second of all it’s a very boring game and it takes a lot to actually play the somewhat fun part!
No help
I have this game linked to facebook Apple and my email. But I can log into my computer on the game. I’ve paid you guys upeards of 15 thousand dollars in the last year. Do you like my money? You need to step your game for those that pay your salaries.
Unbalanced Game
I have played every day for months . I spend money on this game . It seems the only
Way to get any where is to spend money . Every thing you do will cause you to spend money to get ahead or to recover all the stuff you have after a level 38 was allowed to attack me a 31 and lost almost everything ??!?!! I’m done .

Offers very very vey overpriced
Reconsider the offers prices
Lame
Quite possibly the worst game I’ve ever played.
Liars
Your ads are extremely intrusive and your game sucks, I deleted a year ago. Quit putting fake buttons on your ads you losers!
Avoid this game
This game is a trap that lures you in with games not even part of gameplay. Customer service ignores obvious terms of service violations thus encouraging cheating and harassment. I would suggest avoiding this game and warning anyone who knows someone who is even slightly curious about this game. Find something else to entertain yourself with!
No no
Fake ad showed a shouting game. That is were it starts. It becomes a slow building and farming game.
Fake
This game is not what it shows on the App Store
One star because it won’t let me do zero
I think the bait and switch of the game is ridiculous because it is actually a city builder with little of what is in the ads. It is clearly a game where if you want to be responsible about your money and not spend 10$ on some stupid little thing they punish you so that you can barely play the game. And when you have an actual problem the “dev responses” are clearly canned and ai. Yes I get that some people don’t read ever single comment but you also don’t have to go so low as to use ai.😔 the original game sounded fun. Why not just stick with that?
gameplay.
to me the game is nothing like the ad.
Game faults ripping off players
I hope you like spending money only to have a game that constantly faults and steals your resources items constantly. Then you get to have the delightful experience with customer service who will tell you oh sorry but unless you provide the exact time, date, and have screenshots you screwed. Like who screenshots every upgrade, troop training…….. and why should a paying customer have to do your job. Bye bye evony i hope not refunding imaginary items was worth losing customers.
Slow customer support
You will be waiting days on customer support. Doesn’t matter if you spend money or not. They will be slow, stay away
Fake Game
DO not download this game because it is fake it’s advertisement shows a simple fun game but it’s just not true at all and it’s EXTREMELY pay to win.
Download bait
This game is nothing like the ad, this is a war game, just like clash of kings and war and order, dont waste your time
