Don’t Do it
You want a game where they try to suck your wallet dry, allow cheating, racism, threats of SA from other players? The match making is so skewed you have new servers facing someone 4 years older and a lot stronger with better equipment and they tell you the match is fair. You send evidence to them reporting players admitting automation and account sharing and the developers tell you oh no they are not cheating it is fine. The developers do not care unless you spend money. And then they don’t care still.
The events are boring and you cannot win anything unless you are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars.

PAY TO LOSE
Yeah, you read that right.
Tap4Fun lies and allows cheaters
I have been fighting with them for a while now. Everyone needs to know the development team lies and lets people cheat as long as they spend money. Don’t waste your time here because it’s not a competition. They also deleted my last review, I’ve made it my mission to tell people the truth about this game.
*** Dear response people for the App Store.
I have contacted customer service. I provided screenshots of the players admitting to running sharing 20 accounts, in the in-game chat, and customer service tells me there is no way evidence… how is there now evidence when they are admitting it openly. It’s proof tap 4 fun and the games it runs are trash and not fair. Don’t waste your time or money here.
Additionally I will continue giving bad reviews instead of play because I want everyone to know what a cheater infested trash game this is.
Another update. 4/3/26
They have now told me that they punished the player for cheating, but they won’t do anything to compensate players who were cheated out of a fair match. Thereby wasting everyone’s time. Meanwhile the guy who cheated went on to win Broken Lands.
Update 4/14/26 they say they have punished the player now. However they still will not provide compensation for the losses my team suffered
Dear development team it is 4/19/26 and your customer service team has been contacted multiple times for several months regarding this issue and you’ve done nothing. You allege you punished the player but continuously refuse to compensate those of us who were cheated out of a fair game. Frankly most of us have quit at this point. We see no reason to continue to play a game that allows rampant cheating.

Ripped off
This game committed fraud, I told them I never received what I bought, they didn’t care so I refunded through Apple then the game locked me out of playing with characters or in the world! Do not buy a single item on this game just play for free!! Their response is worthless, they didn’t just take back what I bought they blocked off access to every character, defense, world play and upgrading! Don’t read their response for it is not truthful
Unfair matching
i have been played this game for almost two years. if you want to have fun in this game. prepare a lot of money. even you have a lot of money, they will match old server players, way more old players to match your power. make your money feel like useless
Rip off
The game is made using AI sloop the devs should be disappointed in themselves for working on such a god-awful game. I would give it zero starsif I could but 1 will have to do
الاعلان شيء واللعبه شيء اخر 🥲
شكرا لكم
Stop Lying
It takes a very low level of integrity to lie about your game to get download numbers up. If the old game didn’t work, then make the one you advertising instead of tricking people into downloading the bad game. Take your L and move forward.
Nothing like the ads
This game is nothing like the ads nor even the preview pics!
It’s one of the jankiest of the genre too.

Ratings here are inflated
How could this be above 4 stars unless they are censoring reviews. The # of 1* left by users fed up with the 10-20x the game nags you to rate it daily are all missing. If you’re not getting that many prompts, only means you’re not playing long enough.
Bots and cheating are rewarded
Be warned, the use of emulators and bots to cheat are becoming prevalent and are even rewarded by the developers through compensation.
More and more players are using ldplayer ldmultiplayer feature on pc to create dozens of accounts that can be automated without user input through timers and automated macros for 24/7 farming and tower capturing as well as to single click to provide reinforcements from dozens of accounts at once in battle. This forces legitimate players to spend many more times the average on healing and teleport resources to play resulting in more spending required to fight bots.
The developers continue to ignore reports, videos, public admission from the cheaters in the in-game world chat, and even live stream video from the players cheating themselves. Not only that, they have even provided the cheating users compensation awarding them free resources via in-game mail. Despite these actions violating sections 3, 4, and 5 of their own published terms of service.
As a result of this unethical behavior and failure to enforce fair play practices across this app, our 2 teams/100 players across 2 alliances from vip levels 8 through 16 will be quitting the game following this season until the standards laid out within the terms of service are enforced. We will no longer continue make purchases and play while the developers allow confirmed cheating to continue.
I and many others in our alliances are deeply ashamed to have spent 3 years playing and making purchases in this game for these actions to go on. To those who remain, I hope things change in the future and the game returns to the fair and positive environment it once was.

We need to talk…
We really need to talk about your ads of this game… it’s not fooling anyone anymore… really? It’s 2026 and you still fail on purpose in the ads? Change the script and show us how it is PROPERLY done… no more failing on purpose, and don’t defend it, everyone, but babies, know you fail on purpose. Good talk…
Don’t waste your time
The developers in this game have gotten very greedy and everything is pretty much about money and profit now. They don’t listen to our feedback. Everyone is constantly put in matchups of 3v1 every season. Many people have quit and are planning to quit. They are not planning on pleasing long term players-just updating the game for new players. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME!
Getting worse and worse
I have noticed several issues with the recent updates that are impacting the player experience:
Too Many Bugs and Flaws: The newly implemented events contain numerous bugs and technical flaws. These issues disrupt gameplay, cause frustration. There have been noticeable errors in event scoring, which affect fairness and competitiveness. Players who participate diligently are not receiving accurate rewards or recognition due to these mistakes. There was no individual approach in compensation offered for losses incurred because of developer mistakes. This makes players feel undervalued and discourages continued participation.
Prioritize fixing bugs and thoroughly test new events before release.
Review and correct scoring systems to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Consider offering appropriate compensation to affected players to restore trust and goodwill.

Fun Strategy, Ruined by Pay-to-Win
Kingdom Guard actually has a solid strategy foundation and some fun mechanics, but it’s completely ruined by how pay-to-win it is. Progress slows to a crawl unless you spend real money, and whales dominate every event and leaderboard. Free-to-play players basically exist just to fill up the ranks. It’s frustrating because the core gameplay could’ve been great if it were balanced better. Sadly, it’s another game where your wallet matters more than your skill.
Just lame
You know this is a lame game because they advertise a good game and say it’s this one but it’s not the developer of this game is lazy using cheap tricks to lie to you
Recent event broke the game
The recent changes to a couple events have broken the game. The only way to advance in the game now is dump a ton of money into it. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this game at all costs. The developers don’t listen to the players and are only out to pad their wallets. They do not care about gameplay or strategy.
Spare yourself
The bugs are awful and the game devs don’t care about anything other than money.
Nothing like advertising
Not at all the same game as advertised
Deceptive trade practices
This game is not as advertised.
Was
Was a good game. Not like it’s advertised but it was close enough. Since the latest update, game went straight to the trash. Deleting due to the update. I completely dislike…
Aimless
I really wanted to love this game. The first 2 days of playing were fun. After that it seems pointless. Yeah, level up, but aside from that and how slowly it takes to build up strength you need to enjoy daily is going to take a lot of cash.
Not like the ad
Game is meh. Not what the ad showed.
