A veteran player - 2 1/2 yrs
Sat Apr 05 2025 eternalconfusion1Yes, it can be expensive; yes, flaws are slow to be corrected; yes, the devs are constantly adjusting rewards mostly on their favor. However, you can progress without investing huge sums if money or even any money…it is just very slow. If you are in a good alliance those who choose to advance to the higher levels are looking for ways the lower strongholds can be helpful in earning event points and supporting them for the advancement of the alliance and kingdom. One of the keys to being engaged is to participate in the alliance chat…ask questions, make friends, encourage a camaraderie among alliance members…celebrate everyone’s achievements. I happen to be in a great alliance where powerful strongholds help and recognize the value smaller strongholds. So, along with the devs interest in making money which is probably inherent in most similar games, I find the support and camaraderie among the alliance members through the chat feature a positive.
Spend money or be destroyed
Thu Sep 14 2023 dreamneophyteIt starts out good, there are challenges and goals to complete and you get bonuses for completing them. Then as you progress there are less goals, less rewards, it’s takes longer to accomplish anything, this building will be upgraded in 3 days 18 hours. The stronger you get the more you get attacked, and they kill all you troops and steal all your resources and yet your wall protecting your kingdom has little damage done to it. So then you need resources to repair and upgrade your wall and the rest of your kingdom, heal your troops and and train more and you have none. So you wait for you farms and mines to collect more resources other kingdoms will attack you and steal your resources. When I saw you will get attacked I am talking about over 50 times in 30 minutes by the same person. Other apps have a limit as to how many times you can attack the same kingdom in a certain time period this app does not, I went from over 60 million grain to 1 million because I got attacked 52 times by one person and I need 102 million to upgrade my stronghold.
The part that really freaks me out is that if I copy say a web address to text to someone and then open the app I get a message saying that it would like to paste what I copied from this other app. I don’t know why I has auto-access to what I copied and tries to paste it but that makes me uncomfortable.
Fun but extremely expensive
Mon Aug 12 2024 Paco2000The game is free to play but pay to win. My friend spent $11,000 on this game in just 2 months time. You would think this would get you to the very best of everything but not even close. Yes you can enjoy the game for free but they quickly make the game harder and harder to play and impossible to compete. 7 months into playing we just had our first fair battle against another server. And that was because 2 of our players have spent enough money to buy a really nice car just to play this game.
You can level up your equipment but only so far without spending money. The weapon alone cost around $1,600 for the 2nd to the last upgrade. And there are 6 pieces of equipment to upgrade. Then on your heroes each one has 6 pieces of gear to upgrade. Gold is the best gear and it costs around $500 to get each piece. The developers also do not listen to your suggestions and submitting a ticket means nothing because they will do nothing about your needs. Servers die quickly as everyone realized how impossible it is to grow to a competitive level or get fair fights in events. It’s quite often that we get matchups that are like putting 8 year old football players against nfl professionals. This game has so much potential but it will take the developers caring for it to be worth it.
Its a MONEY GRAB
Sat Feb 18 2023 ted754795Good grief; you finish a challenge and expect a reward - forget it, it will cost you a $1 a level, $10 bucks for the whole challenge at the end. Everything costs money. Each week pay $5 to get rewards you have no way to earn playing with out paying. There is a very limited, basically non-existent guide to the game. I wouldn’t call it a game really - big scam really for the developers to have big pay days every day. The game shows what your teammates are buying and then you realize why your progressing so slowly. They are buying the rewards bundles and subscriptions and moving 2 levels at a time through the game. Not much of a shooting game. That takes about 5 minutes a day to do. Rest of the time spend upgrading troops and finding resources enough to upgrade troops and upgrade all the buildings and structures. Never ends. The best part, you get attacked and lose all your’re troops - you get to start all over again. Probably why half the attacks i do are on empty accts. And if you are an iOS dont expect anything. The developers dont do much game upgrading for us. Three new heros launched in last 4 months. I finally got the second one from january in mid Feb. The first one from early Jan, I don’t have it yet but I’ve been attacked by it several times. RUN AWAY.
False advertisement
Mon Aug 07 2023 mb27onlineI’d passed by this games ads in other games are so many times, and I finally thought I would give it a shot, no pun intended. Yet when I load the game, I find it’s more than just a little shooting game, and the latter part of the game that is not advertised, being the part that you’re building a town, we don’t find out about until we start the game. It’s a rather interesting surprise. what’s even worse is in order to play the shooting portion of the game you have to upgrade the town. Is this understandable, yes. However, when you advertise your game to show only shooting element and not the rest of it, it creates a problem because we are led to believe that this game, thanks to its ads, is nothing but a shooting game. You trick us into believing that that is what we download it and that that is what we are going to play. Hence the false advertisement. Showing us only what you want us to see is wrong. If you are going to advertise a shooting game, make sure it is a shooting game. So give us a shooting game. Make Stormshot all about the sharpshooter game and remove the town completely. that way you’re game will reflect its ads properly.
Not a shooting skill game
Mon Mar 20 2023 Home_School_DadDespite the images used in the game description pages, and videos in adverts for the game, this is not primarily a shooting game. The shooting part shows up to get you started and then after completing game levels. The game itself is a kingdom building strategy game with, armies, resource development and management, and PVE and PVP activity. The first few levels, as always, go pretty quickly and get you used to how things work. After that, time to build, train, recover, develop, research, etc. gets longer and longer requiring you to wait hours and then a day and then…as you advance in levels. Unless you want to spend real money for “speedups”, more resources, shields, or what have you. Graphics are great, stories are engaging, and getting into a good Alliance will help you stay alive and progress. I gave it 3 stars for “false advertising”. If intense kingdom building strategy games are your thing and you have lots of time or real money to throw away, you will love it. Otherwise…this not the game you were looking for.
Epic time waster
Mon Mar 13 2023 bbisbohIf you enjoy waiting long periods of time to upgrade just to find out new ways for them to waste your in game resources, then this game is for You! When starting out the game had some unique artwork and design that I enjoyed. The play through was simple enough and entertaining. Yet after a week in I started to realize the length of time it would take to get to higher levels. This is a long waiting game unless of course you want to pay big bucks out of your wallet or pocket. Otherwise be patient and after 30 days you will still be stuck at level 18. If you want to grab a few beers and sit down and try it out then you may want to get a case of beers because the into play through is quite long itself. For the bathroom player, I would not recommend this game because it is not quick and simple. Overall I would give this 3.5 stars and round up to 4
Con game
Fri Aug 25 2023 daily good driverGames apears ok in the beginning until you play for a few weeks and realize the developers put no effort in correcting game flaws. The game is consistently being hacked. This is a major problem since your personal and financial data is at risk. Submitted a few complaints to Apple and they do absolutely nothing about it. They are ok with having a substandard game in their store without concern or regard for the customer. They care more about making money along side a corrupt gaming company. No efficient way of addressing or rectifying in game purchases that are not delivered. Zero customer service! They do not provide any receipts for your purchase so you rely on Apple to provide them and guess what, the receipts never match what you paid for so it’s almost impossible to to resolve issues regarding purchases. Game is riddled with racist comments and toxic personalities and once again this gaming company has no interest in addressing these issues. They have a reporting system that is just simply fake. Never seen a toxic player booted off the game. Do not let your children play this game
Don’t waste your time
Sat Nov 04 2023 Ninjaboy740Wants money all the time. Constantly asking you to purchase boosts and chests and hero packs, blah blah blah! Very annoying.
Most of all when you are attacked by other players they can attack you over and over until you have basically nothing left and then they can keep on attacking you. Also much higher ranked players can attack you making the battles extremely unfair. I was attacked 10 times in a row over a span of literally minutes by the same, way higher ranked, player. They killed all of my troops and then continued to attack me draining all of my resources. This shouldn’t be allowed. Some sort of attack delay should be in place where you can only attack every 30 mins or something like that and some kind of fair fight calculation should be in place.
Being attacked that many times in a row by a way higher ranked player basically put me back to square 1 and that has discouraged me from even playing anymore. I’ve delete my account and the game from all of my devices. Too bad, I was enjoying the game until that happened.
Used to be fun
Mon Dec 11 2023 edensaberYet another game ruined by developer greed. This game used to be fun until they began doing multiple updates a week. Not only do they change the placement for building certain items, but they take away stats that reduce your overall power when playing the game. It’s become a nuisance and is severely annoying and confusing. To top it off, you can only get certain perks by having to buy them. Mind you not in just one package, oh no. The developer makes you have to buy a tier of five packages ranging in price from $4.99 to $100 dollars. And you are NOT discounted from purchasing the previous tier either. It should also be noted that when you unlock heroes, you have to keep buying these tiered packages in order to max them out. In short, they ruined the fun, made it more impossible to advance, let alone find any point in it, and everything is so tedious and annoying it’s best to pass on this game. You don’t even get to play the shooter game very much which is the reason most began playing this game.
Seriously—The worst!
