On the outside, this game looks and feels great with quick and easy gameplay and great graphics. It features many of the most common functions of this type of game but with improvements however the biggest downer and turn off is the obvious overpowered number of coiners and how overpowered they are. I started on a new server that opened a day or maybe two before and it already had several players in the tens of millions in power. I played it enough to understand though leveling is smooth and easy to understand, it doesn’t happen so fast one could get even a million power so s was on several new and newer servers I tried and I saw it everywhere. Sure pay players help a game exist but to be that overwhelmingly advantaged so early and so often, doesn’t suggest a good or long future for the game. A good pay to play, would have a better balance and not focus on giving pay players so many and so powerful advantages that they make all other players feel utterly ignored for game pls consideration or not matter or perhaps just relegated to feeling like npcs instead of players. Realistically, pay players should get some slight advantages; cosmetic enhancements, or early access to some features and other such things. If a game offers to big of a boost to such players, only high rollers will either want to play or be able to play.

During kingdom 20’s capital war yesterday, iron throne decided to do an update that lasted 1 hour in the middle of it.... my alliance were the capital war throne holders during this time and are current throne winners for the week...During the process of the game update, the leader of my alliance had over 400k T5 troops killed in the Throne by capital war game bots!! There was nothing he could of done to prevent thing during an update where he was forced out of the game.... he has emailed his complaint to Netmarble/iron throne game and still has not heard from them back.. Our alliance are the biggest spenders of our kingdom; and for iron throne bots killing troops every 3 minutes during an update where we could not do anything about it, is very very bad... it would take hundreds and hundreds of dollars to replace all of his troops lost considering T5 troops are not cheap in this game.... so, Net marble, Kingdom 20 encourages you to please get a hold of Cjeaster in kingdom 20 and help with his troops that were killed by game bots.... it is not fair for him to lose troops by game bots in the throne for capital war while being forced out of the game for the maintenance update. Again, The game bots hit the throne that had only his troops in it about every 3 minutes during the game maintenance update, which he had no control over.

After almost a year playing they have still not added the option for players to migrate to a different kingdom. I am not talking about allowing new accounts under a certain level migrating, I mean any level player. For example, I started in Kingdom 8, which later merged with K5. Since the beginning I have been stuck in a kingdom with the biggest guild and spenders (ONE) in all of Iron Throne. That means no matter what there is no competing them. I want to be able to move to a new kingdom that actually has competition for the Throne every week. It’s an absolutely dead kingdom and ruins the game. Other games in this genre like Lords Mobile allow kingdom migration and balance it well.Next issue is why the helllllll would you release tier 7 troops when 90%+ people have not unlocked tier 6, and the ones that unlocked them can’t afford to train them. It’s insane. It’s like the dev is only talking to a group of big spenders, because the only people getting t7 are them. It’s a crazy amount of money to get through t6 research and building requirements. This just tells me to stop playing now because there is no chance to compete in a dead kingdom, and no chance to get the latest troops. It does so many mechanical things right, but so many things wrong....

This game is fun. I’ve been looking for a mmo like this and you guys have done well. However, it has some pretty serious issues as well. Let me start with the loading into the game. It makes me skip all the tutorials like I’m starting the game fresh EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN IT!! Then on top of that, it always has some “files” that need to download before I can start the game. It tells me I have an update every time I open the game, and updates it every single time I open it. It’s completely annoying and frustrating. Next we have the VIP/ hero unlock system. It’s sad. So, so sad. You get the first I think 3 or 4 VIP heroes slots fairly free because you get little VIP packs. After you hit 8 is where it starts to really hurt. So you unlock hero slots for VIP 3, 6, 10, 14, 17 and 20. I’m halfway through VIP 10, and to unlock the next hero slot at BIP 14 would cost me $1,500. Are you seriously kidding me? That’s pathetic. Guess what it costs to reach max VIP lvl 25 from where I’m at. $8,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s absolutely delusional and absurd. Get a serious grip because that is completely mental. I want Mikito, but I also don’t want to spend $1,500 hahahahahaha. Another issue I have with this game is how fast it makes my phone overheat and drains my battery way too fast. Also, it times out a lot and disconnects a lot. I mean a LOT! In the middle of battle royale, during town mode missions, any time you can think of. I thought it was my WiFi at first, but after trying it on multiple WiFi connections and my cellular data, I realize it’s your guys’ horrible servers. Fix it please

Game was so so when netmarble was the developer. But now this new owner kixeye is killing a half dead game even faster. Don’t waste your time or money here. This ship is sinking. Update Kixeye has really driven the nail in the coffin now. Two weeks straight of events that are not functioning at all and no compensation for the money spent for these events. And the staff is absolutely ignorant to anything game related. Get a refund and get gone people. This game shouldn’t even be available on app stores. Yet again another botched event in September of 2022….. events that worked in the past no longer work, no points being distributed after hours of battle. These devs are just completely outclassed. And now every time they touch the game they lock us out after the update with no explanation to fix their constant mess ups. What an absolute jokeUpdate 2024 game is finished, the developers are absolutely ignorant and out of their depth. They basically allow cheating, hacking and stealing and their resolution is to just charge the rest of the very small player base more money to attempt to rectify their shortcomings. This game needs to be removed from the app stores , shut down and all the funds spent should be reverted back to the players. This game is thieving plain and simple

So Iron Throne caught my eye because of its size and graphics. I figured how could do this be bad. It’s, at its most basic, Game of War revamped with a flashier skin. Plenty of things to keep you entertained early on I should mention. So it doesn’t start out too slow. My biggest complaint is how very apparent it became after a few days, that the only way to advance competitively is to spend plenty of money on the game. I can’t express how disappointed I was for my hard work to be erased by someone who had been playing the game for many weeks less than me, but had just decided to spend his/her real money. I know there is always a divide between pay-to-win players and the ones who don’t spend money on apps, but in Iron Throne, the divide is so big that it is an uncrossable chasm. Simply put, spend money, or only plan to play non-competitive and casual. If they developers can find a way to fix this and make it “fun for everyone,” then I will redownload it and jump back in. Until then, I refuse to buy any of your micro-transactions or support the game any longer. Pretend money isn’t worth my real money.
