Your choice is simple: Spend little or nothing and be food for others who do pay, spend a small fortune and manage to exist and be food for the big spenders, or be a big spender and find out that the only way to stay there is to keep on spending big. They even have an event called the iron bank, where the ONLY way to make any progress in the event is to directly spend money. I get the pay to win model. Most games have some balance to it. This one has none. Heck, you can spend $33,000 on your account and STILL not get the T30 keep. I know this directly. My choice.. no blame, but have an idea of what you need to spend if you’re going to be a “big dog”. My review isn’t about things costing money. It’s the amount of money, and that EVERYTHING costs money to move on. It also uses the lure and hook model. Everything starts off great.. fast building, fast troops, quick research.. but quickly runs into a wall of must spend. The game is also full of bugs and glitches that seem to only be getting worse with time, not better. The problem with this is compounded with the costing model since one crash at a bad time can cost you real $$. Horrendously expensive garbage.

Don’t get me wrong. I have fun playing this game. I’m still playing it now. I’ve just come to realize that by the time you get to the rank that everybody is when a PVP event comes around the winners always going to be a play player. It’s hard. The game is fun and very enjoyable, they give you free things in the beginning give you enough food to upgrade everything they give you the option to get stuff upgraded for free but eventually you hit a point where you’re gonna need like 10 million of everything to level up your keep at that point you can’t even compete with the players that are level 26 by week two because they pay for everything the honest truth about this game is have fun but the only way you’re going to be able to do it is by paying to play the people that call you baby and tell you to stop whining when you voice that in chat you can have fun by not paying and be behind everyone else and make no progress capture no seats or you can pay money to advance and at some point you’re going to have to it’s just a hard truth if you wanna play and enjoy the game you’re going to just have to pay and even when you do pay you just have to keep paying more and more to the point where you’re 5000 dollars in and you haven’t even reached level 20 I don’t know I’m not saying that the game is bad. I’m just saying it’s a money pit.

The game is very addicting and fun when you first start. There are several events that come and go and give good rewards. The graphics are are decent for a mobile game and there’s a lot of content to play through. As you progress in levels it gets very difficult to do anything without making purchases, which I do understand that the game needs to make money, but that puts the players who cannot spend $20-$50+ often at the very bottom. Also, there are many high level players that will CONSISTENTLY bully others with no hesitation. The bullying may vary from kingdom to kingdom, but don’t be surprised if you see yourself or a player being bullied. As several other players have said, it is a very unwelcoming community, but there are some decent players that will make the game a little bit more tolerable. Another issue with this game is the attention you need to give it throughout your day. Higher level players will most likely reset what other players have worked very hard for or purchased, in this case it would be resources (food, wood, etc.), and without being attentive, the player cannot know when someone is about to attack their keep, which in the end means that the average person who works and has a busy schedule will not succeed in this game by any means. Based on what I have experience myself and seen, it’s a playable game to an extent but not worth investing your time unless you want to invest your money on it. Download and play for yourself.
