King or Fail Reviews

I thought the game was interesting so I downloaded it. I liked it but the Ads are insane. You get a 30 second ads between each action you do, then you have to hit the “x” 5 times before it goes back to the game. There are more ads in this game that you watch than time you spend playing the game.

I want to get some berries, here’s an ad.
I want to upgrade my ax, here’s an ad.
I want to go attack, here’s an ad before and after the attack.
I get an ad just by walking over objects.
Like Seriously?

I started to restart my game every time I saw an ad but lost interest quick. It would make more sense to watch an ad for a reward but instead you get them for no reason. I’m not paying for that. I don’t think the worth it when my game play time is so little because of the amount of ads you get when you first start the game.

My game play time is less than 10 mins before I decide to delete the game and thought I should leave a review. Good luck to the players and game developers.

It’s been a while since I last played but since the new update thing the game doesn’t play like it use too. This game is completely different and has way to many adds when the previous version I played before was nothing like this new game play. I lost years of game play of the older game version back in 2022, and now I’m just coming back to the game to have lost everything I’ve done in the past to a new completely different type of game with hella adds. I really liked the older version that didn’t have adds. You had the choice to watch the adds to gain resources of all items you needed but you didn’t have to at all if you chose to just play just the game. So this new game I’ll give it a try but it will still not replace how upset I am of losing everything from previous game play to this heavily forced adds.

Just a really obivous ripoff of what everyone else is doing mindless brain rot boring repetitive games. Except this one is especially dull and too slow. Usually in a game when you level up power it takes less time to complete task but not this game takes more swings the higher level also it’s just trash because you have to upgrade to take down certain stuff and it’s just lazy and boring and the ads are freaking ridiculous can’t even try the game long enough to see if I like it to pay $8 for no ads because you only get about 10 seconds between ads it’s a joke

IF YOU LIKE WATCHING ADS THIS GAME IS FOR YOU. Even if you make the purchase to get rid of the ads, you still have to watch ads to advance in the game to beat castles. And I’m not talking about two or three ads. I’m watching an average of 36-50 ads just to beat one castle. What was a fun way to waste time now takes some minimum of an hour a day to complete one or two missions. You can’t level up yourself enough to even be comparable to the enemy castles and the canon stops leveling up at level 12. Also, instead of unlocking new worlds or areas you just consistently evolve, the existing mines, farms, and other stations. Why don’t they just make an option to buy the game without tickets or ads.

A few points here. While the game itself is actually very fun to play the developers have the forced ads set to pop up every 30-45 seconds. Some of the forced ads you can close after 2-3 seconds others take 10-30 to be able to close. Making the game an annoying hassle to play. The game offers a “remove forced ads, interruptions and banner ads” for $8 purchases. But that specific wording leads me to believe that even after purchasing the ad removal, one would still have to watch ads to collect chest, use top tier tools or use the balustrade in every battle.

My advice to the developers, if you want more traffic on your game you need to address your greed. Having so many ads on your game to coerce consumers to pay $8 to “remove” adds is ridiculous. One can barely even play the game because of the sheer number of pop up ads. I understand the need for money so developers can continue expanding and improving the game, but you’ll drive consumers away before they can really enjoy the game. When consumers enjoy a product they are more likely to spend money, if they are frustrated they will delete your game and move on.

Fun game
Deplorable amount of ads

This last update really increased some things like wood cutting, but there are some bugs I see as well. First, carrots are unable to be harvested by the king in two of the three rows. Second, the health and attack power were brought back to level one, which is fine since it looks like coins were granted to raise the health and attack level. Even after raising the health level back to where I was previously I am getting one-shot killed by everyone. I’m sure there are other bugs I’ll run into, but these I noticed within five minutes of playing the new update. I’m going to give it a week or so and see if it is fixed, otherwise I’ll delete. It’s been a fun game, but this makes it almost unplayable.

It’s hard to make enough money… I’ve watched tons of ads. But either way, the WORST part is the castles. You have to win battles to level up and as part of your tasks. Sometimes the higher enemies are easy to beat and most of the time they aren’t. You can level yourself up like crazy but it doesn’t serve enough purpose. Your army though? It can only rise based on your level in the game and you have to watch video after video and video for ads to use the cannon. It’s insane. If I try and watch ads while doing other things it will take HOURS to watch enough. The tickets are overpriced for skipping ads. You can’t purchase just the stupid cannon. So here I am again trying to watch ads to even advance in any way. It makes me leave the games for days until I’m sitting watching tv or something else because it’s impossible. Nothing matches up to defeat anything.

The idle collecting and stuff… yeah, it’s fine. But don’t plan on going anywhere without hours and hours of stupid ads.

2nd.. they’re playing this game for a while as you can tell they have not updated and no one is monitoring the reviews for that reason it gets one star 1st.. Played this game on my tablet and my phone nice game…last update was before Christmas…… It is now April 2024. my guys are still running around with the Christmas hats on. And for that reason, I’m giving it a very low rating. reached out to customer service a few times no reply as of today. Updated review…. Again this is a great game, they have done a few updates since my last review…… the enemy in the castles have been undated now they are extremely hard to kill if you can kill them at all they did not update your cannon or troops….. example it took me almost 200 tickets to kill a level 10 million power enemy, troop….. so you can imagine what it’s gonna take to kill a 12 or 16 million powered enemy troop something that probably should be looked at by the dev team

I really love to PLAY this game. It’s a lot of fun earning money to build houses, crops and other things. I really enjoy the gameplay because it’s simple but challenging at the same time.

That being said I HATE this game because of all the ads. I tolerate having to watch ads to earn power ups and other bonuses BUT, if you play too long without watching an ad, an ad will just start anyway…for no reason…except to make you watch an ad!!! That is ludicrous!

I purposefully do whatever I have to do NOT to watch the ads but it doesn’t matter. And I’m not talking about watching an ad after about 15 or 20 minutes…I’m talking about every 2 or 3 minutes. I’ve even watched an ad for a bonus and less than 1 minute later an ad pops up!!!!!!!

I am hoping the developers will see this and completely revamp this game to not be so ad dominated. It’s a fun game and I enjoy it when I get to actually play the game. If it weren’t for all of the ads I would give this game 5 stars.

I enjoy playing and understand if I want to level up faster or get extra resources faster, then I have the option to watch an ad. This game makes you watch an ad just while doing basic tasks like gathering. There is no reward for watching, it’s simply an interruption to make you pay $7 to have it stop. Because of this I refuse to buy the ad pack. As well as it only stops the interruption ads, not the reward ads. I spend a lot on games I enjoy, but this is a new tactic I have not seen before and I won’t support a game that uses ads to punish me as a player, instead of rewarding me.

Developers please make it so that player can take some resources like coins from the world and use them in the castle battles so player does not have to watch 40 ads just to take the castle. So frustrating!

This game has an incredibly tremendous number of ads you have to sit too long through. It stops you every couple minutes and makes you watch very long ads. They need to either shorten the ads to a couple of seconds or reduce the number of ads you have to sit through. I’d rather pay money for objects to play parts of the game than watch all these ads. Also, sound cuts out too often. Hope they update the game to fix these issues because otherwise it is a good game. Probably not going to play it much longer because of the ads.

Update: I read in another review that one has to watch so many ads to advance on war and I didn’t believe it, you have to. You have to watch several adds, even if you paid for no adds, you have to watch for so many adds because the castles you fights are super advanced. The “enemy” troops level is in the thousands and my max allowed upgrade for my troops is in the hundreds and I don’t get to upgrade them as I wish. It’s controlled so that the enemy troops are always despairingly higher than yours. 🙄😑

My old review: The game is a lot better, I can tell the last update made a difference for the better. But, can we please get another farmer for the area with the pumpkins? And can we get some expansions? Other areas? And please no more apple trees!! There are too many apple trees!! Otherwise the game is great. Thank you!

Game is a fun little time waister and I love it. My problem is the forced adds every 2 minutes. I can watch an add for some gold or an upgrade for something that’s fine but when you force me to watch an add what feels like every 10 seconds to strong arm me into paying for your $8.00 add block, that will more than likely only stop the forced adds and not the ones I can actually get something out of, then you’re just being disgustingly disrespectful to your players. Turns this from being a game into the Dev’s cash generator. 3 stars. You can have 5 when you earn them.

I haven’t read any other reviews so I don’t know how other people feel about the arrow… But I have unlocked a few areas by now, and I expected it to go away like most games that have a small helping hand a first. But it’s still there, and very distracting when trying to collect more resources to do the task it’s pointing to! Please at least have an option in the menu to turn it off because it’s taking a lot away from the game in my experience, hence the 3 stars. (Yeah, annoying enough for 3 stars..)
I’m probably being very picky, but I feel like the white square on tasks is plenty to know where I need to go, and I was caught off guard when the arrow didn’t go away after the third area I unlocked, and it still continues to point at everything even though I know what I’m doing.

It’s a very neat game and it’s fun to progress in, everything else about it is completely fine besides the haunting arrow!

i genuinely love playing this game while winding down after a long day, its a simple concept that can be quickened by ads. the only problem i've run into after playing for a couple months is that if you upgrade or evolve too quickly the game will NOT catch up. i've been soft locked at level 37 for 3 weeks now, with no end in sight. i accidentally evolved a few locations too fast by watching ads and can't even buy the materials i need in the resource exchange. this simple bug has made my favorite game completely obsolete because the main goal is to level up and grow your community. hopefully this gets fixed so i can give it a 5-star review but until then i'll be looking for other games to play.

You catapult becomes very weak after maxing at level 12. You’ll be watching optional ad over ad many times over to weaken the castle enemies. Your troops cannot be leveled high enough cus there’s a cap per level of your character and you just get wrecked. And the money you get is absolutely insignificant for completing missions. Need a couple thousands coins? Here’s two hundred for completing a mission

Edit: even though I paid for no ads, I will not by playing until you can level up your ballista more.
You’ll be watching about 15 ads in a row to reload the ballista and without doing so, you will not be strong enough to defeat the castle

I love this game. It’s so fun to just pull out and play for a few minutes at a time or let’s be honest, hours. There are ads, and that’s annoying but you don’t have to wait for lives or moves like other games. The only thing driving me nuts is I’m stuck in battle level 158 and cannot get past it no matter how many times I update my soldiers or how much I spend upgrading my own life or equipment. I’m stuck! The more I upgrade the quicker I seem to die, not the other way around. But yeah, obviously since I’m on level 158 for the battles I’m pretty addicted to this game. Oh one other con, it drains my battery on my phone quicker than any other game.

Need an option to turn off animations for NPCs. On my iPad Air, the game gets VERY laggy. Need to exit and restart periodically to clear it up. The stone to marble progression is completely broken. Just when I get the guy who automates stone upgrades, I need to make marble instead and now that doofus just stands there doing nothing.

Game requires a TON of attention, but you can play in airplane mode, which disables ads. Then you can leave game running overnight with your King on the block where things are purchased. Sales continue and you’ll return to a lot more coins.

This is a great game. Totally worth spending the money for no ads. HOWEVER , what you see in the ad for the game is not an activity that your character does. Not sure why that’s in the ad.

Not sure why they didn’t choose to spotlight battling enemies, any other aspect of the game. It’s a well made mobile game. Would actually love to see it on console.

So the fishing challenge has been on my screen for over six months I haven’t been able to get it to leave the challenge. I’ve completed it. I’ve gone several levels past and it won’t move onto the next challenge. I turned it on today. It got past it. I hit a ad. The ad froze my phone and then when I came back to the game, it’s back on the stupid fishing challenge. Please fix this. It’s driving me nuts.
