Weirdly addicting but needs balancing
Mon May 08 2023 Mass IngestionThis game is weirdly addicting and satisfying when you finish a build set, but every once in a while you will go FOREVER without a certain resource… I am currently at over 60k gold, 20k stone, 50k energy… and yet only 86 wood. I literally will get only about 150 or so wood per 30 attacks, which seems incredibly poorly designed. It could just be bad luck, as this has happened for other resources in the past, which in my opinion means that a system where you are more favored to get the resource you’re lowest on would help. Maybe the presents (which now contain gold and gems) could also contain 2-3k of whatever resource you’re lowest on? Also yes I know many of the other reviews complained that gold is too hard to get, but I’ve never remotely had this issue, it’s always about stone or wood.
The trade system would be considerably more helpful and useful if it were reversed- rather than spending five thousand of a resource I am scraping at the ground for in exchange for a resource I have flowing out of my ears, it would be more useful to be able to trade gold for other resources.
Resource management
Mon Sep 26 2022 sqondmThis game is incredibly well put together. It’s visually pleasing, the mechanics are fun and simple and it all comes together to make a beautiful, addicting mobile app. However, when it come to the main 4 in-game resources, gold is the only one that is used in every step of the building process. Logically, the user should receive more gold than any other resource, but that’s not the case. The most important part of this app is the offline portion where you generate more gems so you can battle in the hopes that the RNG favors you and gives you enough gold, although it rarely does. This isn’t a streak of bad luck. It’s an everyday occurrence. I hardly run low on any material other than gold. Such a simple thing that could be fixed that would make the game 5 stars.
Latest update
Mon Aug 01 2022 SoonerTrauma1RNThis game WAS a super fun, 5-star game. However, the developer’s most recent update just a couple of days ago has made it nearly impossible to win enough gold to play the game. Since the update, I’ve been able to win stones and wood often enough, but I haven’t won enough gold today to play the game. And every time I have to be off the game, another player can “attack” and is able to not only take the tiny amount (200) of gold I do have, but also is able to “overdraw” my gold and put me over 1000 in the negative. So, if I do happen to win gold when I log back on, that gold will only be enough to put me in the positive buy one or 200 IF I’m lucky. And that’s only IF I actually spin enough gold wins. Most of the items require at least 300 to 400 of gold PER item and sometimes over 1500 of gold. This makes it impossible to play without purchasing gold with in-app purchases. Absolutely too expensive with roaring inflation and how expensive everything is. Thanks for ruining the game developer. So sad. I really did enjoy it.
Not as it appears
Sun Jul 24 2022 JarodMMThis game is not intentionally deceitful, nor portrayed to be something more, however it is simply a slot machine with a ‘story’ of rebuilding a castle.
Every hour you’re given 5 rotations on a slot machine where you are awarded gold, wood, stone, re-rolls, bonuses, or nothing. This mechanic is explained as ‘you attacking’ another kingdom, however you’re just spinning the slots on ‘kingdoms’ with stock photo avatars.
While not trying on the game you can be attacked and drained of all of your resources. There is no option to prepare a defense, no idle income, no way to offload excess resources. I’ve had times where I had over 20k of each resource but gold. Come back after 5 hours and find I only have 10 slot machine rolls (bug) and all of my resources are gone. Everything taken away from me by these ‘real’ players with stock photos and nothing I could have done other than keep my phone open.
It really is the most pointless of idle games and it’s such a shame because the progress is fun to see through. This feels like a concept of a game more than an actual game.
What happened? [UPDATED]
Wed Mar 08 2023 Unknown Auseer[UPDATE] The crashing has gone away with the latest update! Thank you!
[Original text] I’ve had this game for a while, enjoyed it well enough. But whatever the recent changes did, the change from 10 gems to 50 gems… Something since then has made the game crash endlessly. Doesn’t matter what I’m doing, could be attacking, could be building, I just crash. I’m also not pleased that my resource stashes were completely drained from attacks when that didn’t happen previously, but I understand if that was done for balance reasons. TL;DR: Game crashes so much it’s become unplayable for me. Otherwise a nice game.
Update?
Thu Dec 29 2022 DeDisneyThis game is fun and has a lot of potential. Wish there was a way to get more gems daily. Think the trading should give more gold, 250 is not enough compared to 4750 of either resource.
More importantly, this game needs to be updated more often. I am currently on level 45 and been patiently waiting for the next update. The game states it’s updated weekly, but ever since I’ve reached level 45 there hasn’t been another update in over at least 3 weeks. I went from attack level 13 to 14 waiting for an update. Is one coming soon or do I just delete the game?
Good but needs work
Tue Mar 14 2023 ScootersDestinyI’ve been enjoying this game so much. The look of it is nice and I like all the different items there are to create for the castle.
I wish there was more ways to get resources beyond attacking other players. Maybe like a challenge to get some or have villagers collect from the trees and rocks we create. Just hard to get resources or at least the ones you need for a bit longer of a play.
Not sure how to attack and better my chances to get the resources I need.
Okay game but needs a lot of work
Fri Dec 30 2022 killer_queen614Ive been playing this for about a month now and it’s starting to get a bit irritating. I end up getting stuck on 1 building for like 3 or 4 days because I can’t roll any gold and I’ve noticed I’m not the only one with this issue. Also in the entire month I have been playing, I’ve only gotten the mini game 2 times and Ive only gotten the 3 presents 2 times as well. I’m really sad about this because I actually enjoyed the game a lot when I first started playing but now I’m realizing it’s a pay to play game.
Most Recent Update
Sun Oct 02 2022 Mrmustache1234I had been enjoying this game for about a month now and was coming back to it every couple hours for my 30 slots. It was honestly a 5 star game for me. However with the most recent update not only did they decrease the maximum number of gems you could have at a time down to 10 they increased the reload time from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Its now really hard to progress in this game. I really think the devs need to change back to the 30:5 system instead of the 10:10 one
Not worth the file space
Wed Jan 25 2023 Rufus Ontario RoseThis game does not give the player creative freedom. It basically tells you where everything needs to go and extends gameplay time with artificial countdown timer is because you have to place an object to build it and then wait for it to build itself. Instead of being able to place a rock or tree wherever I wanted to place it I had to place it where the Game tells me to place it. If you’re looking for a game that provides creativity this is not it. This is a game that basically tells you what goes where and you you don’t get any creative freedom to decide otherwise.
