Kingdom Guard:Tower Defense TD Reviews

Alright so right off the bat; this game is pay-to-win for your first 100B power, they have optimized a bit to help F2P players get a boost, and with learning and daily play, you could actually reach 100B in maybe 2 months depends on the player. After hitting 100B upgrading becomes much better with percentages really becoming meaningful. The huge challenge is getting into an active alliance, if you plan to be an active daily player then you'll find one easily.

They update the game quite often. There are seasonal events, as well as weekly events, broken lands (a 4 kingdom/server battle) lasts for about 3 weeks then you get like a 1 week break then rinse and repeat. With the right alliance and communication it can be fun yet challenging, it relies on the players to either battle it out between all 4 of the kingdoms or make a truce with all or maybe just 1 of the other kingdoms. The cons can be bugged matches where a weak server is matched with a what we like to call “super server” luckily they try to fix these issues in a somewhat timely manner.

Now for the love of god i will make this 5 star if you just add back “Lord Load Outs” I'm guessing it was bugged on initial release, but I'm getting tired of switching between gold output lords and power output lords. Would love a effortless switch at the moment .

The complete disregard of high paying players, the invalidation of their concerns, and the devaluing of money spent on their accounts has rendered this game to be a scam. Original version servers have always be catered to, giving them easy access to resources and not putting a limit on how high they can level up certain aspects of the game. While newer version servers have had a limit to what they can do, and scavenge for the same resources. On top of all that, they decided to let original version servers match up against the newer version servers in cross server platforms, and expect everyone to believe that’s fair. They were practically separate games, just used the same characters and models. They are either oblivious, or they do not care about how absolutely unfair this has made the game. The comparison from what original version accounts have paid for power accumulation, compared to newer version servers pay/power is ridiculous. The math has been done, and presented to them by both original version accounts, and newer version accounts. Original version accounts would have had to pay about 1/3 of what the newer version accounts would have had to pay for certain aspect of their power. Until this issue is resolved (or at least acknowledged), I’m afraid this game is going to go downhill fast.

Here are fun part. All events and everything you do is like competitions so you got motive to compete. Clan challenges, point events. There are alot of unfortunate servers especially my server got extremely low players count. Two months within inter server only within the server. People learn to play and people know the daily grind. Tips and tricks to be more efficent so they got motive. Then everything turn into cross server when players see the power gap differences, to the stage people can never win anything, no even sure people are hacking, spending extreme…so players die out. My server only had like good 30 players daily grind and 50 are chill. As soon as cross server enter, top 15 players literally 12 out of 15 left. So remaining who are very competitive and some remaining play less and less. Eventually feel like server feel like total death. Every update, every feature is marketed toward spender. The over greed of the development is extreme. Ruin a good potential game. I can see developer trying to improve the game thats being said, like I mentioned they aim to make you spend. I am top 3 of my server and spent $1200. I am trying to stay on the game but I got not much player left to play with. I feel stupid wanting to play more, spend alittle and quitting very soon dilemma.

The biggest complaint is the bugs. I constantly get kicked off the game. I have been playing for a little over a month, every day it happens more than once. I have to reload and most of the time it is when I start on the world. When I come back after it’s reloaded, I have unclaimed rewards, which is frustrating. I could have used more rewards such as stones or books to be upgraded on something else.
Also, after signing in after a few days, it doesn’t recognize on the alliance challenges for the 3 day log in reward. Therefore the alliance points are not added. Someone in the alliance who joined shortly after I did and was auto promoted and able to participate in alliance challenges. When I had changed alliances, I had to wait 7 DAYS to start participating in any of the alliance challenges which was very frustrating. I was also active chatting, saying hello and adding helpful tips that were later deleted. I gained quite a few points on the leaderboard even without the challenges, but I enjoy completing them for more.
Overall the game is fun, very fast paced and I really enjoy opening the chests and upgrading my heros.

Please fix the bug problem, I may not continue with this game, if this continues.

If you want to have fun and fair play, find some other game, there are literally thousands out there. Don’t bother downloading this game if you don’t have thousands of dollars laying around waiting to be wasted on junks. This game is all about the money now. They keep changing things to try and find ways to rip off their players. You have to fight so hard just to get a 30 day castle, along with PAYING in all other events to get weapons and gadgets. You already have to pay left and right with new events, but with the old event like Ultimate Power, they made it a cross server event to, making it almost impossible win a castle. They took off old in-server events as well like Ultimate Hunting, with is THE ONLY chance for weaker/poorer players to win big. They promised to give the same rewards i. Another event soon but that’s a longggg time ago. Friends become enemies on this game, because they have to fight each other to the end. They are arguments and fighting going on everywhere in my server, about seven people are selling their accounts because they are frustrated, and no one even wants to buy them. Again, if you are not filthy rich, DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME, unless you like to have mini Strokes caused by frustration of this game. Just….ughhhh

The game has gotten old and stale. Developers have lost touch with the people who actually play it. The game is full of bugs, crashes and the latest feature they added called Broken Lands is probably the worst thing added to a mobile game. There is no balance anymore when it comes to resources. The current events all require the same thing which divides your focus be it scrolls for healing or potions for AP.

One of the main gathering resources is mithril which used to be a very good way to buy materials to expand your alliance and personal castle. NOW they are limiting again what you can do because players are able to further grow their castles and strength without being COMPLETELY reliant on spending real money. The business decision was put in to limit players ability to gather resources to FORCE players to spend more money. There are people who have spent 10s of thousands and more on KingdomGuard. The only way to compete or even enjoy it is if you do the same.

The entire gameplay has been shifted to cornering the player into paying for EVERYTHING once they have become established. It’s a total scam!!!

Prior to Broken land changes a couple of months ago, the game was a solid 4.7 rated game. Currently with the new broken lands changes, it’s lower than a 1 for all sorts of reasons like others have posted.

The developers keep saying that they are working on improving the game but they are actually doing the opposite. For example, after the new broken lands changes almost everyone complained and gave negative feedback direct to support and on their surveys. Kingdom Guard’s response was ridiculous since they told everyone that their feedback they received from those new changes was “overwhelmingly positive”…Not!!! They started the next broken lands event in the next month with all the same problems. They lied to everyone since the feedback from the first new broken lands event was actually overwhelmingly negative. I used to spend a lot of time and money in this game but will be quitting due to all the unfortunate changes.

Don’t believe supports responses that your feedback is important since their actions do not coincide with that statement.

Most recent issue is a near 24-hour maintenance issue with the game because an in game error occurred allowing many people to get basically unlimited high tier weapons, gems (premium currency) and such if you were online at a certain time. After being down for about 18 hours, we had 4-5 hours to catch up on the days events, only to be given another maintenance (currently at 5 hours) to try and remove all all the extra / duplicate items… many people lost legitimate items while others benefited from the game error. I’m unsure if there will be an ability to balance it back out, without screwing people in the process.

Besides this issue, there are multiple bugs, glitches, unfair server matchups in regards to power level / activity, etc.. it really comes down to being a P2W game, but now that’s even messed up with people losing their items. Kind of a mess. Cannot / will not recommend, I only play it to waste time and enjoy the company of friend’s I’ve made, otherwise I would uninstall.

This game has been a course in aggravation. Tutorials are nonexistent and newer small accounts Can barely survive. So you find a stranger to protect your castle or you pay to have enough defense to stay alive. There’s no clear direction for any of the games features, mini games, servers or rewards. The mini games are an interesting twist but the servers crash and glitch. hot heads who actually understand the game get mad and blow your account out of it because of these server errors. If you want to stay alive you will need $50 for troops and $50 for your dragon. The alliances change hands quickly and frankly the peace treaties are boring. But with no peace treaty, the castle is dead every single morning and there is no game play. Oh yeah you get consolation prizes for getting blown up but you can’t actually find the idiot who blew you up because there is no way to search for their name and location. This game is just plain annoying all the way around. I regret my purchases and I have been very unhappy with customer support

Clearly it’s pay to win so understand if you are a free player you will not be competitive in the slightest. Still could have been fun if it weren’t for 2 things. Bugs! The game is glitchy as heck. There is literally always some issue. Second and the worst is match making. Whatever idiot wrote the algorithm for this should not only be fired, but banned from apps for eternity. I have accounts on 2 servers. The second is very new and we just had the first server vs server. Keep in mind this server put a ton of money to grow and be competitive, only to be matched against whales from 2 other servers. We literally had no chance to hold the throne even once. Congrats on making sure your company never gets another dime from me and many others… This could have been a decent game even with the glitches, but these greedy idiots care more about $$$ than the end product. Take my advice and save your money.

The customer support in this game is horrible. There is a player doxing other players. Getting their ip addresses, photos, and personal information and sharing this in kingdom chat on game. Devs did absolutely nothing about it. But put me on mute for nothing and wont even tell me what i said. I dont even call people names but for some reason they said a player reported me for bullying. But they wont tell me what i said or my other members that they also sent warning letters too. But when the doxing was brought up they did nothing at all. In my opinion it is absolutely terrifying a player could do this and get away with it. If they are able to get personal information so easily how difficult would it be for them to get bank details or credit card numbers. This is a shame. Im absolutely done with this game and will be making a report to the apple app store and the google play store and suggesting my friends who were effected by the doxxing do the same.

KingdomGuard keeps using to much ram . I want to delete characters then delete KingdomGuard , I don’t want any on my information in this company’s hands this is what they requested for me to delete characters
Hi Lord, this is Jay at your service. So glad that you can get in touch with us. Sorry for the late reply due to a large number of emails from players.
I want to confirm with you, is the character you want to delete the current email character? And may I ask why you want to delete it?
At the same time, it is suggested that if you don't want to play, you can idle this character, in case you have time in the future, you can continue to play.

It is necessary to inform you that: Once we delete your character, the character data will be deleted, and the operation is irreversible, please consider carefully! Before canceling the character, we will make multiple confirmations to ensure the safety of your character and related rights.
If you insist on deleting your character, please answer the following questions:
1Account registration time
2Account last login time
3The number of any one or two items in the backpack
4The current number of gems
5When and what purpose the gem was last used (last research, building, etc.)
6If there is a recharge record, you must provide at least one screenshot of recharge order

Some this is up here I don’t trust this company at all.

The advertise was one where you shoot at the dragon snake depicted in the opening screen but that’s not the game I got. Then when I was buying the hero’s and merging them to level up it kept demoting my ranger from levels 8, 9, and 10 back down to level 7. Also if I had any hero’s left on the merging part of the screen it would delete them and say the castle level wasn’t high enough for them to move on when my castle level was the max I could get to for the stage I was on. DO NOT WASTE TIME NOR MONEY ON THIS SCAM GAME!!!!!!!

Update: their reply shows they didn’t bother reading my review. Your game play is 100% NOT what the ad showcased like you claim it is and that has nothing to do with your updates. And the level WASN’T failed. I passed the level. Your game just kept GLITCHING. Because I would move on to the next level but my fighters kept resetting.

Perhaps READ the review BEFORE telling me I’m wrong.

Coming from a player with multiple accounts over 1T, the game is only fun when you are playing during the first few seasons. Once you start merging the entire game changes and it becomes a never ending battle of people fighting over towers and whoever has the most time wins. That would sound good if you as long as you are willing drop substantial amounts of cash to even play with the big boys which drives higher power players into the lower level servers. Which doesn’t even matter much because now you will just get matched with alliances 10x your size or and alliance with someone who has paid 75k+ to make themselves feel important.

My final words, play a couple seasons, spend a little money and then quit. Coming from a player with a really low player ID

There are some key fundamentals about this game. 1. If being attacked player is not able to heal troops. 2. If being attacked player is not able to send troops out of castle to counter an attack. One of the biggest parts of this game is the server vs server events. Again some basic fundament. Home server has an march speed advantage on their scorched land when battling for throne. The longer a player stays on an opponents sever the faster their march speed will become….

None of the above basic core game mechanics were in place during the last server vs. server event.

One server was able to 1. Heal troops while being attacked. 2. Send out marches while being attacked. 3. Opposing players had faster march speeds after immediately porting onto another server. Their march speeds were faster than players with a home field advantage.

There is easily hundreds of thousands of dollars that has been spent by the players within my alliance. The game developers do not care as it is their employees doing the hacking and cheating within.

I am so convinced they do not care that this will not be formally posted as a review and I will not be contacted. I come here because the only way to get a response from support within the game is to have a main line to the developers.

The game is glitchy and screws up all the time. Game went haywire today after server reset and now has been over 8 hours maintenance and they tell you nothing, give you stupid auto replies and careless about the player. The game is crazy expensive I have spent more 40k on the game and they treat like your nothing most of the time. And when they break the game the compensate you with measly 200 diamonds which you cannot even buy anything with it. Cheapest thing is 500 diamonds. Don’t get this game. It will upset you more than make ya happy. I will be trying to get a refund and never play this game again.

As I’m learning the game it can be a massive PAY. To play. although Iv chose to just pay for no Ads and it’s still enjoyable 1 thing I think needs work is the Hero understanding better it is very easy to waste so much in game money and upgrade cards on pointless hero’s then realizing your wasting your time…

Also there needs to be a much better tiering system for higher levels. As I’m only level 120 and every day I get on I see I have been attacked 20+ times by the same person ALL DAY! there should be a cap of attacks per play to play. And a limit based off the power tiering system. If I’m lvl 120 I shouldn’t be able to attack anyone lower then say lvl 80. At least give the little guys a chance to build up.

It’s a very repetitive game with not really anything exciting going on. When I started on a new server with some others, there were people that did billions of damage while my friend and I did a few million. The “games” that are added are just spam clicking to level up, nothing exciting going on. The only thing that is somewhat fun is the server vs server throne wars but again you’re going against people that dump money into the game. Overall, if you want some daily tasks then sure give this a shot else it is a money sink

Edit:
Forgot to mention, KingdomGuard isn’t friendly on smaller screen nor screens with no physical home button. The bottom row of buttons are so squished together that my iPhone thinks I’m swiping up. In my old iPhone SE 2, everything was so crammed it felt like spam boxes everywhere

Very addictive and tons of fun. I wish they would stop with the fake ads on FB though. They recently added armor to expand strategy and customization of your heroes. It is a lot more F2P then it was initially. I hope they expand on the hero abilities to make your choices fit different play styles better. If you find a good alliance you can grow pretty fast. Also mostly adults play the game so you aren’t dealing with a bunch of kids 👍. Anyways good game and I would love to see them expand the lore some with an anime or something probably got enough money from us to make it happen 😂.

People don’t even think about downloading this game. I’ve played dozens of games like it and this is the worse. Never have seen so many maintenance breaks on any game! We are now in a maintenance break that has lasted over 14 hrs and they still keep posting another 2-3 hr break not saying what the problem is. This is ridiculous. But even before this one they had several other maintenance breaks. Not sure what is going on but I would love to get my money back. Concept is good but only if you can consistently get on and play. Unbelievable. There are a lot of other games better than this one. Do yourself a favor and pass over this one. Wish I had.
I just noticed that the pics posted for Kingdom Guard above are actually pics of another game Age of Apes!!!! Are you kidding me??? They must have blown Kingdom Guard up on the servers by mistake. Wow.

I have been playing this game for 2 1/2 years or more now. The game continues to evolve and creates new ways to keep me interested. The developers are a stand up team because when they catch an error of any kind they bring it to the attention to the players with a fix in hand or are prompt to let us know what steps need or will be taken to make this right. It’s very refreshing to have a devoted team that cares on this level.

Please keep up the wonderful work you all are doing. No game is perfect, but you do your best and that's all anyone could ask for. For that alone I thank you!

Been playing this game for almost 8 months. It’s definitely addictive. I’ve made a whole new family in my alliances. Yes this game can be buggy. But what game isn’t? The developers are quick to fix. Customer support is touch and go but if customer support is understanding what your trying to explain they have support help on their discord who help solve all issues right away. Last SvS was the buggiest I’ve played BUT the developers compensated EVERYONE very generously. They always make up for an error on their end. Hey Developers…. Don’t raise prices ;) they are perfect the way they are!! Lol. Love, a very dedicated player <3 #421

I absolutely love this game. I’ve had the game about 3 days now and I’m already hooked. It’s got side quests, merging, and ways to play without having to spend money!

When I first got the game I thought it would be forcing me to buy my way into specific quests or challenges, but I was completely shocked when I didn’t need to buy anything at all. Within the first 24 hours I was hooked and ended up figuring out the game pretty quickly and I’ve already made it in the highest rank in my alliance with the most daily donations to upgrade the Alliance Tech. It’s already been 3 days and I’ve reached castle level 191, and hatched my dragon!

Though I think having more ways to earn things like magic potions for the Academy and more gems would benefit. I tend to use a lot of donations for the tech alliance so having more ways to earn gems to donate would be great. I’d also love if there was more ways to earn dragon scale stones, the rallying and the fighting monsters take way too long to earn them and it’s a little bit annoying when there’s only 1 or 2 ways to earn them.

Anyways I love the game and I look forward to future updates and I will definitely be playing this game for a long time!

Love the game but the level cap on the castle makes it harder to level up than it already is as a high level player. i'm almost level 300 and on stage 4,205 but the level cap on the castle prevents me from going further. Me and most of my alliance are high level players who find this function to be a little exhausting since rally's, puzzle quests, and mob farming give 5-10 stone when each upgrade calls for over 200 stone. please make stone more of an abundant resource the more you level up instead of keeping it the same as when you first start. sure the dragon quests give you good amounts of stone but it's only when you reach a certain stage that you get it an after awhile you can't reach those stages without either spending a lot of gems or farming for days trying to get enough from mobs and rally's. love the game but find this dumb

I play on my iPad and iPhone. The game itself is fairly interesting, lots of different layers of gameplay. It does encourage you to spend money and there are certainly some players who treat it like a slot machine, but overall the game is quite fun especially once the teamplay phase sets in. However, it crashes frequently for no apparent reason, and offers no error messages as feedback. I raised this with the developer but was only asked to check my network connection, which is fine. I guess they don’t know how to fix it or simply don’t care. Still, restarting the game always corrects it for a while, so it’s a tolerable irritation. Still not ideal, considering the game has been online for several years. Speaking as a software engineer myself, it seems this hasn’t been tested adequately despite its age
