Kings of Pool in IOS

Ultimate AR Pool

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

80/100

Kings of Pool is a polished, competitive billiards game that excels in its online multiplayer. The physics feel very realistic—the way the balls roll and react to spin (English) is top-tier for a mobile game. Joining a club and competing against other players for high stakes gives every match a sense of tension and importance.

The Augmented Reality (AR) mode is a standout feature, allowing you to place a life-sized pool table in your room. It’s surprisingly stable and adds a 'wow' factor that most other pool games lack. While it follows the standard freemium model with cues and table upgrades, the core gameplay is solid enough that skill still determines the winner of most matches.

Dinsun Review

The physics are actually quite good here, which is rare for a mobile pool game. I've spent enough time in real pool halls to know how a cue ball should react, and Kings of Pool gets about 85% of it right. The spin mechanics are intuitive and the visual feedback is clear.

What I don't care for is the 'high stakes' gambling atmosphere they try to create. I don't need a golden cue or a virtual penthouse to enjoy a game of 8-ball. The AR mode is a neat party trick, but I doubt anyone uses it seriously. It’s a bit too cluttered with 'buy chips' prompts for my liking, but the core game is respectable.
