I’ve been playing this game for 6 mouths now, and I’ve yet to grow tired of it. This game is fun, interesting, and the graphics are not like anything I’ve seen especially with the most resent update. I do don’t know if it’s just me but I love to customize and role-play with my characters. With the most recent update I’m dying to see and us the new feature. I’ve been trying to see if their was a way to re-customize, but I don’t think their is one. And I think it would be cool if we got a chance to re-customize our family or at least the ones we started with just so we can get a chance to us the new update. Also I think it would also be cool if the characters could die of old age or of some sort of sickness that would through excitement to the game, because I know with myself I always feel bad sacrificing my people in the volcano. And lastly something I also thing could be really cool is if their was a feature where you could see the family tree of all the characters in the keep. I don’t know if it’s just me but I like to know who comes from who, who is with who. Overall the game is amazing and I love it can’t wait for future updates.

Started playing this game on a road trip and quickly became addicted. Haven’t put a single penny of actual cash into the game and I’m doing well, having a blast. Anyone who says you need to pay to do well in this game isn’t investing their time right. Time is just as valuable as money in this game. I was worried I’d start slacking once my vacation ended and I was back to work where I can’t be gaming on my phone but the game is built to accommodate pockets of away time. My progress slowed slightly but not enough to be frustrating. My only complaints with the game is that there seems to still be a lot of bugs/glitches - the most frustrating being the in game notifications; red dots showing up when I don’t actually have the resources to upgrade that item or train that unit. And sometimes no red dot showing up even when I do have the resources to train. A fun one I’ve noticed is a headless noble at various trading posts, decapitated head stuck in the sand, and when you click him suddenly a giant version of him appears. So giant only his feet up to his knees fit in the camera view. Anyway great game, keeps ya busy when you’re actively playing but allows you to schedule time away productively too. Sure spending money helps but isn’t necessary. I’d definitely recommend to others, and am hopeful the bugs will get fixed in time.

So far, I don’t really have any issues with this game. The gameplay is cool, learning isn’t hard, you get tons of speed ups by completing events and meeting goals, and the same thing with gold. A little bit of patience is needed, of course. You don’t rack up items that quickly but you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg. Caveat, I am entering the stage of the game where 1,3,5, 20 minute speed ups aren’t as useful unless you have a boatload of them. I just lost my shield you get before you hit level 10. So there’s a possibility I can get ransacked soon. Prior to losing your shield, you do have the ability to complete a ton of research and create a huge army, granted they are all level 1. However, you can rack up the ability to create weapons and body armor for your troops to help protect them and make them stronger. Once again though, they aren’t battle tested against stronger players, so it may all account for nothing. I couldn’t give this game 5 stars because I haven’t fought against stronger opponents and I couldn’t tell you if of people spend a lot of money on this game. I haven’t spent anything yet and I have achieved a lot so far. If you complete all the research you can before level 10, then you should stand somewhat of a chance. I would think anyway.

Unfortunately since Scopely took over the game has become all about spending money. They strive to make the game as difficult as possible for f2p so more and more people are forced to spend money. I’ve been playing this game for about a year now and at first it was awesome. There was one pack that was a double pvp damage pack that cost $100 and that was the only way you could get it, while that was a clear cash grab and most serious players were forced to buy it they had promised that eventually it would be accessible to f2p players and that was really the only clear cash grab at the time so it was fine. However, now that method has been released! Sounds amazing right! Well unfortunately rare rss are almost impossible to obtain you require 100 of the rare rss to get the double pvp pack and through the rate at which rare rss typically drop through my own experience (I received 3 rare sulphur in about 3-4 months) and several others with similar experiences it would take roughly 8 years to get the double pvp pack through f2p means. So basically u either play for 8 years or spend $100, but hey! Now the devs can claim that it can be acquired through f2p means! As amazing as this game was and its immense potential it’s a shame it turned into your typical cash grab city and army building game. If you have friends that play and you’re willing to spend around $500-$1000 I would say go for it but honestly for most people I wouldn’t recommend this game anymore.
