★★★★ Booop123 6/19/2026 v2.196
Don’t install
Had the game installed for almost 10 years playing on and off to kill time. When finally deciding to delete, they ask for multiple screenshots of purchases and have long winded AI driven responses that make the process frustrating to the point that you may want to change your mind. DO NOT INSTALL. Game got too cluttered and boring.
★★★★ Bmcclure452 6/19/2026 v2.196
Don’t download
After spending a good amount of money for ads ons. There was one I never received i wrote there customer service and they locked me out saying it was refund fraud don’t waste your time there is now way to progress in the game unless you wanna keep buying stuff
★★★★ YkitzMj 6/18/2026 v2.196

Amazing game I started playing for the first time today and it’s been like a couple hours
★★★★ TheRealMario1 6/14/2026 v2.196
Bad quality game
You just do the same thing over and over again there’s no excitement.
★★★★ Trent$$$$$$$$$$$ 6/14/2026 v2.196
1 star
It not working
★★★★ Kmaskin 6/12/2026 v2.196
Expensive
This game is shameless the way it’s geared to take all your money $4.99 at a time. Is a fun game but to progress at any reasonable speed, you have to buy. Feels like every update is just adding something else that you need to buy. I’d quit but I’ve dumped so much money into this soul sucking game, I can’t! 🤯
★★★★ beveja 6/10/2026 v2.195
Fake game
This is not like the ads

I’ve Played for 10 Years-Please Read Before You Download!
This game is 100% a cash-grabbing, pay-to-win game.
It will take you LITERAL YEARS to get anywhere if you don’t spend money. And even if you ARE willing to spend, unless you’re willing to spend TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS-yes, TENS OF THOUSANDS, not hundreds, not even a few thousand-you are NOT going to compete.
Want to fight other players like the ads show with exciting castle-vs-castle PvP? You WON’T.
The game is full of players who shovel money into it at a rate that would make a Las Vegas casino jealous. Even if you finally catch up after years of grinding, someone who spent another $10,000 can erase everything you worked for in seconds.
There are realistically three kinds of players:
1. The whales with effectively unlimited money.
2. The people who spent a little over a long period (like me) who mostly exist as food for the whales.
3. The free-to-play players who eventually realize that no matter how many years they play, they will NEVER have a fair chance and end up quitting.
This game doesn’t even pretend it isn’t a cash grab.
The SECOND you log in:
“Buy this.”
“Limited offer.”
“Special pack.”
“Flash sale.”
Want to play the fun-looking board game? One free roll a day… unless you BUY more.
Want to fight bosses in the Labyrinth? One Holy Star a day… unless you BUY more.
Want to unlock T5 troops like I did? Sure. It only took me TEN YEARS. And after all that? You train a tiny amount each day while the biggest spenders literally buy HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS-EVEN MILLIONS-OF TROOPS.
For perspective, I’ve played for 10 years, spent around $2,000 over that time, and I’m sitting at around 360 million Might. That sounds impressive until you realize there are players with well over ONE BILLION Might who can wipe me out before I can even react.
I’m not against microtransactions. I’m against games that make spending money the ONLY realistic way to win.
So why do I still play?
Sunk cost.
I’ve been playing too long to completely walk away. Now I mostly log in, collect rewards, admire the cute cosmetics, renew my shield, train troops, and leave.
If the developers ever added kingdom caps or matchmaking so players around the same power could actually fight each other, this game could be genuinely fun. But as it stands, it’s not balanced, it’s not fair, and it never tries to be.
Please, sincerely, save your time and save your money.
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
And if you insist on downloading it, I challenge you: play completely free and see how far you get.
I think you’ll understand exactly what I’m talking about.

Nova
The game is confusing and complicated trying to figure out how to play it. I barely got started and it was wanted me to purchase a sword to complete a challenge.
★★★★★ AceToTheAce 6/10/2026 v2.195
Good game, but has been leaning into ai slop
Its a fun game, with very little ads, and can easily be played as a casual. Unfortunately within the last couple years the game has been leaning into ai generated images especially for collabs (seriously a rainforest event where you use gen ai for all images in it which is certainly not helping the rainforests?) which is unfortunate as the actually drawn art is very pretty.
