Age of Origins:Tower Defense Reviews

I’ve been into the game since the COVID lockdown. I really like that it has a large variety of things to do each day for gold. There is combat vs. Zombies and or vs. other players, so when your the attacker you get to choose what level mob you’re attacking, allowing to try differing tactics vs. same opponents.
I love the Zombie Horde and Infinity challenge, I try them over and over seeing which combination of arms gives the best survival. If any one thing needs to be addressed, it this: Skill points used to raise the skills the officers learn are far to rare. There needs to be a way to win a reasonable amount of them without having to buy them all. I think same thing for chocolates, only ever see them in the store. Need a way to win them in game. Future development, let us drop our officers in the zombie challenge or zombie horde as an option to a tower. Encourage players to develop tactics for each officer with the skill sets chosen. Yes, I know that would be a huge add, but the only lack in this game, is the individual input of the Commander and the primary officer. Or heck, drop in a figure of the melee officer leading the melee group into battle... something to include them in the conduct of the game vice just the admin.
Anyway, very entertaining game, absorbing and challenging.
Thanks for a great game! Playing as Gunny Deth.

The game is well constructed although I’d suggest it needs some work especially with officers and their boosts, so far thei boost pretty much doesn’t matter at all, all what matters is the number of the troops you have, I’d say the game should put more attention towards research and officers as they’re permanent. With troops you lose you rebuild and so on. So it will be nice to have some actual progress been done by the research so rather than researching something for 1 day long and 1M resources and getting 0.5% i think the boost should be bumped at around 5% so players have something permanent to work on. The other thing would be packs, they’re ridiculously expensive for the items they give you. You spend 5$ and all you get is a few hours approximately 10 hours of speed up which is obviously not worth it, i agree that the game shouldn’t make it play to win, but items such as teleports, shields, troop speed ups, attack and rally increases should either be cheaper, or the game should rade the amounts of gold they give out, and shouldn’t have gold so scarce, as i think being able to teleport around or making blitz attacks will make the game way more interesting, that works for shields too, players that do not wish to participate in attacks can chose to keep up a shield. Thats the only problem i have with this game, the packs aren’t worth the price,gold and other items are wayy too expensive and scarce for the purpose they play.

TRK, Commander Lord Devil, #244, I am known as SmallMountain & SmallMountain2. I have been playing less than 3 months, I’m on almost every day. I like the farming and leveling up, but there never seems to be enough elite mines to level up without long waits. The larger your alliance the less opportunity you have to level up b/c you are always waiting for your turn to gather from the elite mines before someone else does since it is limited to max of 5 gathering and only max of 3 million oil or farm and less for gold, steel, or minerals. Would suggest larger amounts to be extracted and more to gather. Also, when you get there with your load amount you can carry in order of gathering you should be guaranteed that amount. Often I get to gather oil first and can carry 1 million for example but other members come and I only get say 300k. Another issue is with leadership not opening events to lower level members like doom arena or elite wars. I think elite or cabinet rank should have access to this feature too. We all have issues with how long it takes to upgrade buildings lol. It’s a fun game otherwise! One last thing, I think you should change the allowable number of farm accounts allowed, I binded my Apple ID and Facebook but can only have my main account and 1 farm account. There should be a way to have multiple farm accounts but when I tried to add another it says unable to bind.

This game could be fun, but there is no avenue for people to compete unless they want to pay a lot of cash (think thousands of dollars). The game is structured in a way that the big spenders are exponentially stronger and better than even the medium spenders. And if you want a truly free game, well good luck. If you grind it out and put in the time you will then find when you are close the developers will just add another layer on top for the big spenders to keep spending. We saw this with the recent additions of the 6th star for officers and the Titan. It is super hard and takes a long time trading to even get 5 stars, now the big spenders can just buy that 6th star and you will not be able to compete. Everything in the game is just a way for the developers to get more money, and if you want to not get wiped to zero you will have to pay lots of money. One guy boasts of spending tens of thousands of dollars a month, and when you look at his city you can believe it. But how are you going to compete against that? How do the makers of this game expect to have a playing field where a free player or even a player spending a few bucks a day is to compete with someone spending almost a thousand on some days? It’s sad, because this really could be a fun game. But the fact it is a war game and you just get crushed by the big spenders takes the joy out of it.

I have played AoZ for 2 years now. In the beginning, it was an incredibly fun and addicting game. But overtime, it becomes quite the opposite. Rewards, updates, and new events are the main problem in this game.
Rewards: To build a strong city and army in this game, rewards and bonuses are paramount. But the developers in this game continue to cut them, sometimes removing them completely. Because of this, it takes an insane amount of time and effort to grow. It takes real money investments very important to become even slightly competitive.
Updates: the developers of this game continue to update graphics of non active game related troops and officers. Why? It does nothing for the game.
Events: The new events they added might be fun, but their server can’t support them. You’ll find your game freeze for several minutes at a time. Any effort and time you spend to organize your world for one of these mass events will simply become a waste.
AoZ makers need to start investing back into the game, for the player. Not just strictly for profit. It’s literally all they care about. “How can we make more money? O yeah, let’s cut rewards and invest in crappy events that make people spend more money. We will add some useless graphics on the side to Kee everyone happy”! What a joke. I’m sick of the game but 2 years invested in it. Praying they fix themselves. Waiting.

I’ve never spent so much money on a game. But I just can’t stop. I love this game. And I love the players here especially in my alliance OOH-RAH STN from 305. But what I would like to see is maybe the SOS cool down being 12 hours vice 24. That would make teaching that goal so much more appealing. The small mineral tiles should carry more minerals 24,000 in a lvl 5 mineral tile is ridiculous no one can move up on that. Let’s shoot for 40,000 give an incentive for gathering. For instance bogo Gather 300k get 300k once in a while. I maybe wrong but I think KE is wayyyyy to long. Maybe throw in another event in Strongest Commander and reduce Kill event to two days. Officer’s I’ve been playing for 3 months now and I can’t get an officer to level 5. I’m even buying all the officer packs when they come out. Granted you guys got to make a profit but shoot does it have to take so long. How about more higher level officer fragments on the officer recruiting more often. Well that’s all I can think of for now. But this game is the ish. Anyone looking for something entertaining to take up a little of your time in the day check out AOZ. It’s the best game ever.

I’ve done a few reviews on other games and it sounds like a lot of complaining on my end. But the truth is, players download and take part in these games as a way to enjoy themselves and for the fun of it. Developers such as “Camel Games” has done what other developers are doing, receiving funds for made-up items, in other words, providing small packs for and unfair price. The packs are small, the speed-ups aren’t enough to accomplish any type of advancement and the timers on upgrades are extremely long, this entail, leaves us the purchaser having to spend more “real” money. I’ve been playing GOW for years and they have finally listened to the players and responded, they increased the number of items in their packs to even out what you spend for them. Camel games could do the same, but the fact still remains, they’re going to bleed you before they act. Now, why continue to play you ask, bc of the alliance and the friends I’ve made, but buying packs has come to a crawl. You pay 4.99 for a very small pack and then if you scroll down to their $49-99 packs, well let’s just say, you’d be a fool to hit the “buy” button. Compared to GOW, we’ll there’s no comparison, the developers at Camel games are going to control this to their benefit and the players will be forced to spend large sums to advance. Great game but steer clear of purchasing packs!

This is a strategy game; not a tower defense game. Most of the gameplay revolves around waiting on upgrade timers or paying with real/in-game currency. Only about 15% of the gameplay is actually tower defense. Plenty to do in early levels but mostly a waiting game by level 12. Look elsewhere if you want a game that you can pick up, play, and level up at any time. This is just a cash grab by all the gambling they’ve embedded in the game.

1 year update: I’ve quit the game. It has some decent gameplay but it’s literally PAY TO WIN. Every nation is going to have a rich jerk join and will spend his way to the top and ruin the fun for everyone. You can try changing nations but you’re always going to run into those types. The game has steered harder since I’ve joined to have people pay for anything as shortcuts and it’s gives them an advantage over you. You literally can’t do anything about it; even if multiple alliances try to fight it. You can’t even take a break from the game because you’ll get zeroed and have to rebuild your army and farms from scratch, which can take months….unless you pay. It punishes you for trying to have a life outside of the game. Don’t get this game. If you have, uninstall.

I will start this review off with the statement that I have played the game from the very beginning. Over this time, I have seen the game transition completely to ppw. Events that used to have money incentives but not required have become completely money incentivized to do anything.

The most concerning is the lack of care on behalf of camel to upgrade things that really matter. The game lags so much during attacks of any more than 10 people that it is impossible to attack in larger groups. Instead of fixing issues such as this, they will add some flashy animation that has absolutely zero benefit to the game.

As for the initial look of the game, it has great initial gameplay and is strategic. However, as the game has become more geared towards money driven, the game has transitioned away from any strategy, as long as you spend massive amounts of money. I still play this game, but plea with the directors to look back at the game you had and realize that many of your large spenders are sick of the money grabs and not fixing issues that really matter, instead adding flash to illustrations. We don’t care about how flashy the game is, but want a game that works the way it should. Shame on camel for ruining what used to be a great game with strategy.

First off I do like the game. There are things that can be done to improve the overall satisfaction of game.

1. The helping times are really no help, leveling up the helping times should be more significant than 10 secs each time. If you have it maxed out it should at least cut your research, building etc times in half with all alliance members pressing the help button.
2. The massive healing, I can not keep up with the healing. Improving the help time will improve this.
3. There are just not enough buffs. I understand it takes a team effort. Team cannot do much when there are multiple attacks to team players and all castles attacking are over level 32. Needs to be better buffs for smaller players. Attack debuff for instance or even an attacking player perhaps a defense or health debuff. You already have the attack and health buff increase what about a defensive buff increase. Make them purchasable in the alliance store or in packs. Some little tweaks would go along way to help castle levels 22 to 30 to be able to compete competitively.

This is PrettyRicky here and I’m here to review Age of Z. All around it’s a great game!! New content is constantly being developed and added. I also feel like opinions of players are taking seriously and have some weight. So here is a suggestion on giving out better prizes for events not just fragments of prizes. Whole prizes would be nice such as 8hour Speedups, Elite teleports, March speedups, birthday cakes as a whole, etc. Even attacking Dino’s give you more prizes then killing them which seems backwards too me so please fix that if you can. Fragments of things which is nice like the detectors good job on that. Dino’s like I mentioned need fixing. Dooms iron grip needs better rewards. Elite wars and Doom are great the way they are. Other than that I can’t wait to see what merging worlds will do and adding zombies to our ranks maybe even as pets or commanders too. Thanks guys for all the fun I’ve had so far and looking forward to plenary more. I hope this review helped somewhat:) Oh what I would really like to see is some kind of envelopes to send an item to other players within our alliances.

Its too easy to make a mistake that can cost you your entire investment. I worked very very hard For over a year building my account. I accidentally used an 8 hour shield instead of a 24 hour shield because I was working my 12 hour job and was very tired when I came home. In 5 minutes my entire army was decimated when my shield expired. Customer service has not replied yet however all of my friends in the multiple worlds I play in tell me I am helpless and the company will not help retrieve anything. Its my first time ever doing this too. :( Please do not invest in this game as I did, so many players like me are traumatized by one negative experience that one small mistake can cause your entire account. A hard working mans money and time can be taken instantly if you are not on the game 24/7 during the KE events. 😩 This is the ONLY game in IOS where you can lose your entire year investment in one simple player error. One simple mistake can cost you thousands of your hard earned dollars. This is a very very shady way for a company to do business with loyal customers who give their life to the game. Sad day for me and all of my alliances members.

Juggin’Landa world #229 Age of Z is by far the most fun strategy warring game I have ever played!!! I have been playing for almost 2 months now and the game gets even better the higher your city level gets. However, I would like to suggest that we have more time available for the doom arena because a lot of people are literally from all over the world and sometimes it is difficult to do this task when there are a lot of different time zones within an alliance. Another suggestion would be after a city is attacked we should automatically be given a shield so no further damage is caused. It’s nice that we are given oil and wheat, but the city is still burning and can still be attacked by many players. I for one do not want to lose what little I have left after an attack. Also it is taking wayyyy to long to cure the infected her time for healing should be cut in half. I play everyday and she is hardly healed at all. Give us a break on this. There are not nearly enough treats to giver her for the love section either.

I am still new at this game called Age of Z and though I don’t know much about it yet I am happy I came upon it. I’ve met some pretty great people along the way and they have helped me to better understand the game. Since Covid-19 and Boredom setting in I needed to find something else to do. I highly recommend Age of Z. When you download AgeofOrigins and create your profile you do go through a short tutorial but it’s not much info on how to really use it. Since there is a chat feature, and it a live chat with real people in real time you can always ask questions. You will become a part of an alliance and you can eventually once you get to know your alliance more, you actually can start to bond with your peeps. My favorite part of Age of Z is getting more and more battle power, because for one I won’t lose in a zombie attack and 2 I will be come stronger than other commanders. I hope to get to 1 mil eventually. Anyway, this game is a lot of fun, you should try it out, maybe I’ll see you on here!

Thanks Age of Z!

MY WIFE is going to kill me cause of this can 😂 I am a recently started playing 160 days ago. Since I’ve started I have had a great amount of joy in my dull life. Eceryday is a new day, where you can always expect a new a event everyday. If you get bored play the tower defense and get those 3 stars. Or if tower defense isn’t your game and your more into Farmville type of game play than it has that also. Me personally always get excited when kill event comes. I really enjoy flying around, and feek like Robin Hood. Stealing from the reach and give to the needy and poor (that would be me 😂). But to teleport around a huge map, just scouting anything and everything I can. And when the Enemy attacks me I do the dip step and teleport out of there. But not till after I grab ad much resource I can before I get attack 😂 you also have elite war were you battle another city from a different world, war of worlds kinda the same concept. o my I’m getting carried away. But there are so many different ways to play and they keep it as fresh and exciting.

Reason why I give it a two star is because the game is censoring words that shouldn’t be censored for example the word have, contested and many more you need to fix this this is starting to get annoying trying to send someone a message and they can’t figure out what it said but the game is great love being able to have zombies in my army. the game is great just know if you do get attacked just kill the monster and let it build up. It is the best way to save your supplies when you need them to upgrade your base and only use the 8 hour shield when you have a lot plus collect a lot of gold in the mines it is the best way to develop quickly of course you can also make more bases in that world by making more accounts but I have only one and I am doing fine ps censored words that shouldn’t be censored are not fix go into your game and see for yourself start typing random word for example is, hour, have, that are censored fix this this is really annoying censor only cuss words this is ridiculous oh yeah and it is still doing plus you should make the territory give metal and ore as well food and oil don’t really do much for higher level cities

Been playing a couple of weeks now and am enjoying the game so far. I like the prompts and coaching the game provides to help you up understand what you need to do to upgrade your city and advance your power. Definitely a lot of thought and planning was put into this combat game. I’ve played several other combat games and find this one to be one of the better games out there. The science fiction aspect of the game puts a new twist on it for me. Plenty of tasks to do to keep you busy and prevent the game from getting monotonous and boring. Haven’t had any customer service issues yet or game malfunctions. It’s been pleasurable so far. My only beef is that I can’t use screen shots to communicate in alliance chat like I can in Evony.

Let me add this-I have been playing for 4 or 5 months since I wrote my first review above. Still like the game. Like my alliance and the server I’m in. Several new contests and features have been added since I began to make the game more exciting and fun. I’m level 20 now and still growing my city!

Been playing this game a little while now, it is definitely more about battles with other cities and alliances than with Zombies. I would like to see more Zombie events that don’t require a player to be at an extremely high level. What I would also like to see change is the fact that there are hundreds of alliances but it has gotten so lopsided that just a few alliances continuously pummel the new players and smaller alliances to the point that is impossible to grow. If you don’t grow, they’ll never allow you to join them so it forces a lot of people out of the game that would otherwise be good players because they can never get anywhere. My tip would be to create more zombie events that any player can succeed at and make the PvP gameplay more level. Either by prohibiting high battle rating alliances to attack low ones or by graduating alliances to different worlds once they reach battle rating benchmarks so that it’s almost even across the board in each world. Really fun game if you can grow though! Gamer name is Death_bringer alliance is DiK

I have played this game during the pandemic, and it can be a fun and enjoyable game. However, in nation #342, there has been extensive cyber bullying on the part of two very large alliances. They lie, make excuses, but cannot take it in kind. Today, one of my members, quit. They sent 7 above 26 level bases against a 16 year old. They hit her over 40 times to zero her. They went after several lower level bases, for no reason. Yes it is a zombie hunting game, which is what my alliance likes to do. The occasional battle during a kill event, fine. But the pressure from the two alliances to join them or be destroyed is insane. I have registered complaints with the game, and my preference would be to move my entire alliance to another world and nation or refund our money. I will not tolerate the cyber bullying any longer. Today they decided to destroy our territory. The started before I left for work, and are still at it. Two bases, level 32 and 30, hammering away all day. There should be a massive nerf for anyone attacking more than two below your level. I think if Camel doesn’t respond to this issue, the game should be pulled from AgeofOrigins Store.

This is Ozzybear nation 113. I’m still fairly new at the game only city lvl 11, but I have already noticed how everything costs gold or real money. The battle beast is no different. Spend gold or don’t get it. There is a way to get it through growth of killing other players, but at my level and with a nation that has become over powered and anyone left at my level having no troops, it’s hard to do. Should have another way to get the stuff to feed the bear like leveling up city or research as well. Maybe even get something for taking out monsters. I’d love to have a Bear, I mean I am Ozzy BEAR lol. The next bedazzling creature I could think of to raise up and have as my very own pet would be a triceratops with lasers attached to it. Raise him up as a little baby to a full grown laser shooting dinosaur! And triceratops is my fave dinosaur lol. He would have to eat wheat or trees and maybe some zombie parts to get him used to attacking humans since he is a vegetarian after all. Thanks for the gameplay guys! It it a beautiful and fun game!

I'm tired of ads showing games that are not even remotely like the videos they advertise, so now I write reviews every time I see this, detracting one star from the rating I would otherwise give, and explain a bit about what the game is actually like. If you're going to show ads with gameplay, show gameplay that is actually in the game, and which makes up most of the game, and is available within the first day or two of playing, at least.
In the case of this one, all the ads I've seen show impossible situations that noone could ever win. This is another really stupid thing about these ads. It really gets old. *None* of these situations are actually in the game, at least not for the first month or so. I've been playing it about a month, and I have yet to see even one thing that is anywhere in *any* of the ads for the game. What it actually is, it's another post-apocalyptic civilization building game in a zombie infested world. There is a traditional tower defense game element for you to play, this gives you rewards for the rest of game. The storyline is not great, but it's not horrible, either.
The game does really try to push you to purchase stuff, and you will have trouble without purchasing anything.
All in all, if you like civilization building games, *and* you like tower defense type games, you *might* like this one, otherwise, you won't like it.

Buildings too many resources to upgrade its buildings. Lower the value for getting many resources. On black friday or other days during the year lower the prices for 1 day. Make gold .99 (usd). This game is dumb on cash. This game wants people's cash many times. People tell off do help the players in the product that the person is creating. If the person does many help to people give the person rewards. There are many houses in the game, people have a hard time to find a spot to put their house. So delete houses. Create and let people delete their account when they want to. On help it has no help at all. Fix the help menu. In the game the game map almost has no space to put a city in a spot. I said it to a player on my (name don’t remember the name) team the player agreed. About the space in the game. People see a nice spot with 2x4 squares. It mean u can place city here. But the game u cant put city here. Because the game has an object in place like a lake and a zombie and near a house/city, etc.. people dont play at all so the game leaves their city/house on the campus. If the player doesn’t play within 7 days the building should be removed. People need alliance help. Put alliance help on screen where people are playing the game.

I am not really a fan of strategy games, but i must admit that this game got me hooked. I am so impressed with the UI and graphics, and the developer’s incessant efforts to further improve it. Kudos to Camel Games Ltd. Becoming strong takes a lot of patience, work and time farming and joining events. Rushing levelling up is costly, i admit... but that’s part of the game if you really want to be the strongest or an elite commander. This game has opened brotherhood among nations, thanks to the auto-translation, though less restriction on words should be applied. You get to play with almost all races, and somehow find out that we actually can all get along. Changes or improvements in the game are based on players requests which is a very good thing the developers are doing, especially the rewards from every event. I have been playing for five months now and maintaing 5 accounts. This game for me is truly fun and exciting 👏👏👏

I have been playing this game for a few months now, and really still don’t fully understand the whole thing. At times it seems way too complicated for a mobile game. So many different power ups that I have no clue how they even benefit the game play, and very little explanation of each. Every time something new is unlocked and explained, I forget something else. Upgrades and power ups could be made much simpler. As far as trying to advance, it is quite frustrating to send troops out to gather resources, taking a very long time to complete their task, meanwhile another online player raids your base, and drains all of your resources, and yet somehow your defense wall shows very little sign of damage. So what is the point of spending all of those resources and time to build it up just so it can be passed over? In my humble opinion, while I like playing the game at times, it could be simplified quite a bit, focusing more on strategy and interaction. These over complex power ups and irrelevant side games don’t contribute anything to the game play or entertainment.

So the game started out as really fun. However, there are these alliances with members that are around 30-60 years old. They would talk rude to any player who are either not wanting to join their alliance, or not wanting to be in the 1 alliance rank, and pretty much start wars with others in the nation chat. They would call people worthless, insignificant, and useless if they don’t want to join or voice out how very toxic they’ve become. They don’t like it and so they tell those people that they are insignificant and to go away. Which cause a massive new players to leave the game. Another problem is how the alliance leader doesn’t try to stop these people from acting out. They encourage the player’s behavior. No one is really playing the game but instead making wars and conflict. I still love this game and will continue. But these people I suggest those that aren’t 18+ to be careful. These people and their words with action can cause anyone to feel depressed.

Also, the alliance leaders would ask you to make like 5 other accounts. It’s impossible to keep up and they claim that they aren’t asking much. But the account can only hold 2. So you’ll have to download the game and go through the tutorial 5 more times! It’s ridiculous. Also, lost so much money cause of this game. Many of the alliance players don’t really care if you are trying to save. They pressure you to buy more in app purchases. If you don’t have a high paying job don’t get this game

CMD777, Nation 1098. This is an alright application. It’s a 100% sever based game with many events built into the game that make it interesting. You get to play with people all over the world and it is fun to interact. A lot of time is spent attacking other cities, killing mutant zombies, and doing other daily quests. The one thing to beware of is it can be very costly, if you want to stay competitive. Many players will spend lavishly to upgrade and build very strong cities quickly. Unless you’re willing to spend to keep up, you will end up just slowly building and being destroyed by stronger opponents. It takes a fair amount of time (or money) to rebuild and begin fighting again. Because of this I removed my links to accounts and deleted the application. I found no meaning in spending so much time to rebuild something that can be destroyed so easily. I also wasn’t willing to spend hundreds to thousand of dollars to maintain with the big spenders. I joined all of the events regularly and did get many items to help build. I never missed them each week. I tried to help out my alliance as much as possible by joining alliance events. These also brought in items to help build and develop. However, the events and alliance activities were still not enough to keep up with the big spenders.
