Celtic Tribes Reviews

This game has a long history. It is complex and takes a very long time to build up to workable levels. After 6 years of playing this game and seeing many people come and go, it seems to me like the old timers have the responsibility to take care of the game. The management of the game is nonexistent at best. If you have troubles because of glitches or foul players, you can expect no help from them, it’s the old timers that will help. In fact management seems to make the game more difficult in order to save themselves from reporting server problems. Sweeping issues under the rug and hoping people keep using the service is a horrible way of running a business. Ever hear of “the customer is always right”? If the customer is talking to a wall it would have the same effect as complaining to the management. Your on your own unless you can make friends in a very suspicious game.

I think there are only 10 active players. Sure they all play 30 alts but this game is dead. Sad they developers let this happen.

The recent big upgrade has changed so much of the game that it almost feels like we're playing L&K versus CT. The change in exchange rates is horrible. You've managed to alienate most of the people who wont or can't afford to pay for potions, which also have increased in price!
Your recent explanation of why some of the recent changes were made is a joke, you changed things so that people would build their villages a certain way. Are you trying to create a game full of zombies, all just doing the same exact thing?
All in all these changes point to one reason alone and that is so that if people want to build up villages any faster than a snail's pace, they have to spend money to do it!

I used to loved this game and now I'm just contemplating wether I'll even continue to play it!

Ok so I’m in the tutorial and I’m supposed to click the building menu, so I do and it kicked me out please help me

This game is entertaining, but since yesterday I’ve been having trouble logging in. I’ve checked my connection, and it works fine. I’ve messaged the support team and have not yet received a reply since yesterday. What is happening?
Edit: I've deleted, reinstalled, and deleted again, because this game is just straight up pay to win. Sure, speed up your progress of building and research and recruiting. But then you can refill your resources with just a couple thousand coins. Yet the most ridiculous mechanic is the ability to purchase villages on the map, which will be taken advantage of by people with enough money in their wallets. Stay away from this and any other game made by this developer. They're really after your money.

Cant get past the tutorial with voiceover. Sticks at forcing me to attack a free village. Can’t attack, or proceed with tutorial.

This latest update is the WORST!! The graphics now look like a kid's cartoon game! The resource rate has been slowed down to the point it takes forever to get enough to upgrade a village! The silver exchange rate has been cut in half! I am involved with the top 3 tribes on server 1. Not a single person on any of the top 3 tribes has anything good to say about this update! The majority are talking about quitting. I am inclined to follow. We are in the middle of a server war & this crappy update is enough to make us ALL quit playing the game.

Personally, I think it's Xrality's way of trying to make people need to buy potions. But, instead, you are making people quit the game!

Get rid of this crappy update & give us back what we had! Otherwise, your game will completely tank as everyone will QUIT!!

I missed the game when it had the old graphics. :-(

I have been playing for several years,I loved it. But as my village count rose, the speed slowed down. Now I have to sit thru many “Loading......” messages, either when I try to rename a village, scroll down, or mass recruit. I really enjoy it, but the speed is getting me frustrated.

I like to route this game I can play it better

Used to play back during the old graphics, and quit before the new ones. Came back a year after that and had to quit due to my personal life. Well I joined back a month ago or so, and I have to say the community seems more toxic than ever. Definitely a turn off for any new comers or old heads returning and relearning the game. With such toxic people, it’s hard to love this game anymore.

I love the game and have been playing it for years. When you play, you can copy an identifier number that game support is supposed to use in case you lose your account. Mine was lost when I got a new phone. It has been over a week and no support from the game “help” at all.
It is a really fun game, but don’t count on any help if you ever need it! They are 100% non-responsive!

So, I want to like this game, but there are weird little annoyances which bring it down from a 4 or 5 star rating. First off, every time you do something, the game has to refresh or reload, and not just the normal refresh you see in other games. It's like the whole game refreshes within iOS. It was okay at first, but has become annoying to the point that it slows down gameplay noticeably. Also, screen orientation is off. You have to hold the iPhone / iPad one specific way, as the screen won't reorient to how you're holding it. Also, it's quite confusing trying to figure out what level your buildings are without clicking on each one individually as well as figuring out what each one does as they're not labeled. It's just not very user friendly or intuitive. Good concept though, just needs some work making things easier on the player.

This is a very fun game, the UI is a bit unintuitive but you get used to it.

The great thing about this game is if you ever get bored with one village, there's always another to conquer and upgrade. With CoC, the waiting times and costs for upgrades became ridiculous. Here, the game is still reasonable and fun!

The one gripe I have is with the tribe forums and messages. We keep ours clean but there is still a ton of scrolling around to find the thread you want. And if it's an official thread you want to be able to edit your posts. Unfortunately that's not possible at all. It would be really nice for forum moderators to have the option of creating sub forums, editing posts, and altering the titles of threads and sub forums.

Also, I'd totally be willing to pay a buck or two for no ads.

I won't put this all the way up there but it's a good enough game to get if you find it. However there are some things that REALLY need to be improved upon and added. 1. A better tutorial. When I tried to find out where I could find and place artifacts I had to go to the guide because it refers to the chieftain house as the keep.
2. Auction house. I can't say how badly we need this for artifacts, and maybe silver and bronze too. But especially for artifacts because you find so many and can only fit a few at a time so all the others feel wasted. You could trade the artifacts for anything (resources, silver an bronze, possibly even magical potions) and same for silver and bronze.
3. More animations. This one pretty much speaks for itself. There is always just one animation going at a time and that just makes the game feel a tad lame. I would really like to see multiple animations go on so that I feel like I have a real village.
4. When the game is in night mode, the village should be too. This one also speaks for itself because it just makes sense. It really makes me go OCD when I see that the map is indeed night but the village is a bright and cheery day. No, just no.

It is a nice game and sure it has flaws, but the flaws I listed can easily be fixed and enhance the game experience

I honestly really like the game, it captures the expand to survive, one theme in addition you could pursue is samurai following the exact same mechanics or a really good option is the colonial America or something like that.

I downloaded this game hoping for a good and imaginative and fun MORPG. I got it! Along with a great sound effect variety in theme and with the constant village background sound effects along with the great variety of Celtic music. This game really makes for interesting play. It’s also very blind accessible. Fun for cited and blind alike. Try it out.

Great support

Really good

I was looking for a mobile version of Travian, an old browser game I played back in 2006. Found this gave it a chance and downloaded it. Getting started you have to put in some reading to understand how the game flow goes. You just cannot start playing a game at this level and have it be an instant pick up.

I'm honestly surprised that this is not a top 10 free to play app on CelticTribes Store. I really have a hard time putting the game down.

The only thing that I am trying to still find out is what the "end game" is. It's probably written in the game somewhere but there are a lot of options and things to read.
