Stormshot: Isle of Adventure Reviews

Good 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.

Despite 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.

My kingdom is dying off and then a mod tells my r4 that kingdom merging won’t happen for 18-24 months. There is no kill event and in my kingdom people were quitting and kingdom was dying off so we created a top 10 nap so alliances were creating numerous farms to bring alive people from the kingdom. Which ended up being FarmVille in the end. Nobody was allowed to attack anyone and no rss from castles in the kingdom bc they were all dead and zeroed with no rss. During KVK you can only attack people in the crown or the dark forest so in other games you can usually go to the other kingdoms to loot the castles in the other kingdoms so that was lame you couldn’t even do that. Trying to purchase packages? Good luck. There would be glitches that would take your money but you would get no packages and they wouldn’t fix it. Just give you consolation which is no where near what you spent or bought. Everything in this game is buy, buy, buy. Other games have plenty of free rewards. I played this game for months and got fed up. I spent hundreds of dollars and was fed up with the gameplay and constant glitches. Merge after 18 months? Good luck devs. Terrible game if you are experienced game player.

UPDATE:

The devs are increasing their tasks for game rewards. Glitches are getting less.
It’s a process…

This is the first time I’ve played a game of this type and stuck with it to see it through. Often times though it is confusing because I don’t have a clue as to what I’m supposed to be doing and how to do it. As much as I try not to let it frustrate me, it does. Then in my frustration I purchase more gold just to be able to feel I’m accomplishing something. And then I do but I feel guilty for spending the money. So, right there I can say 1) give more clues as to what a person should do and how to do it and 2) reduce the price on the gold packages. The money spent on the gold packages doesn’t feel like it goes very far in accomplishing anything. Most likely I won’t keep playing the game because it frustrates me so much! So that’s my review and I hope the designers of the game take my comments to heart. If they do I think you’ll find that more newbies to your game stay with it longer and find greater satisfaction with playing the game.

Let me start by giving the typical I don’t usually leave reviews speech and say I don’t usually leave reviews. However this game caught my attention from TikTok from what I thought was just a point and shoot offline game turned out to be an online pve game. Now the core game itself isn’t bad however this game falls into the same hole that every pay to win game does. Which hole is that? Well if you have enough money or a good credit card you can easily become the top player in the kingdom with nobody to oppose you. Makes you wonder why the devs won’t put a cap on higher players to not allow them to attack 10-20 million below their power. It becomes ridiculous for many players when one player can wipe out a whole alliance only because they spend more money. I understand during kill events to remove a cap however during regular gameplay it becomes unfair & unfun thus removing player retention and leaving kingdoms empty.

#1 Game play could be more timely takes extremely to much resources to grow once you hit a certain level, I’d say the game changes after stronghold 20 and makes you start spending money to grow due to the insane amount of resources it costs to grow
#2 don’t think you’re going to have some extraordinary castle skins because you won’t you can’t buy them only look at them and when you try to get on it just says event not active so you’re stuck with the same boring looking castle as everyone else
#3 if you’re gathering resources for the insane amount it takes to grow and someone bigger wants your tile hang it up they don’t even have to attack they just have to simply march the same time as you and bingo they get it you lose your resources Annnnd have to heal soldiers from an unnecessary battle……

But I’ve met cool people to chat with so depending on what you’re wanting to deal with it’s an OK game with potential to be a great game

I started the game because of the ads, and it was glitchy but I still gave it a shot. Fast forward to the point where I was well established, in a great alliance and the game was still very glitchy and would kick you out multiple times. Now fast forward to the end of my time with the game- When I realized I wouldn’t have enough time in the game to help the team grow due to work and other life obligations, I opted to delete my account but that turned out to be difficult. I took screenshots of every purchase as requested and added them to the deletion application. Well, a few minutes later I tried to check my game account and it gave me a pop-up window that said I was banned for suspicious activity. My card had been charged an additional $10 once I tried deleting. I gave 2 stars because even with the horrible glitches the game had potential, but sadly now I’m just left extremely disappointed and suspicious of how they operate.

It started out good. Pointed and shot just like the adds then it turned into like some of the other games I’ve played that I eventually quit playing. But so far, I’m liking this one and will keep playing to see how it goes. One thing of possibly many that I don’t like is, I played till I finished the second chapter and had to quit to go to work. I logged in after work and it said my defenses were destroyed and I’m being teleported/moved somewhere else. I didn’t even get to the point of needing defenses and also didn’t know I needed them at all. Usually in games like this they give new players a 8-24 hour peace shield. I just wish games like this wouldn’t always have pvp involved or let us SELECT whether we want to play pvp or not.

I have enjoyed playing this game and will get into the pros. It’s a challenging game and continuous so you can play it everyday to grow. It allows you to connect socially. The sharp shooter portion is fun to play and the story line is exciting. There is always something to do in your kingdom to upgrade it so you will never hit a dead end. Cons will be the technical issues, there are a lot of them. From the boosts you acquire, to the sharp shooter and story line ending without notice or information when it will return. You aren’t able to obtain certain features like the mermaid Alexia, the harvest set armory, Billow and thunder set. The storm set armory is hard to attain making it difficult to complete the full set. There are not clear instructions on how to play the game and certain events so you rely on trial and error, and your social connections with other players. Reaching out to customer support is a hit or miss.

Beware!! I really liked this game at first and quickly found if I didn’t want to spend hundred (or thousands?) of real dollars then I stood no chance of advancing! They allow those players who magically are fully leveled up to destroy any and all other players and essentially prevent them from being able to play.
The artwork is good, and there are many aspects to this game and enough to keep my attention for more than the first day. I would love to keep playing but I don’t want to spend as much as the bullies or the ones the devs are aiding. After a while you join an alliance and everyone is helpful to try to get everyone to upgrade and advance until the game devs ban players for “abnormal activity” such as sharing resources with alliance members. They are just wiped clean from the map and invited to start a new game after investing more than a months time! The game seems good until you realize it’s completely rigged and the ones with the big $$ get to bully, name call, and drive the every day players to delete the game.

The ads you see about sharpshooter are a lie. You can’t accidentally shoot yourself. Those ads are animations, as are the TikTok reels with people “showing” the gameplay. All fake. Too bad, because that’s what the customers want. There aren’t very many levels, yet the latest “update” will only allow you to share the sharpshooter ads. For a 5 minute speed up?

This game is actually just a copy of Game of War, also copied by Guns of Glory, and other battle games, so unless you are willing to put in a lot of money, anything you build is going to be destroyed. I happen to like these games and don’t mind paying. Except that they don’t put this money back into continuing the story or even making sure things work properly. Kingdom events and kill events are not planned well and your kingdom will be a barren wasteland within about two months. There are so many glitches, and they are very slow to have updates for iOS users. If you want a sharpshooter game, keep looking.

No player has to buy items to progress through the game. Spending cash only moves you along faster. If you choose to enjoy all aspects of the ever expanding areas, and are patient, you can grow slowly without spending money on in app purchases. However, if you are impatient, you will either to get frustrated and quit, or spend money to move up quicker. If you are in a good alliance, they will point you toward resources and strategy to get the most return on your efforts. Many players gravitate toward building their army quickly. This will slow you severely later. Invest your resources inside the game to develop resource increases. The more power you have, the more it takes to feed and upgrade those armies. Good luck!

This game comes off appearing difficult to play but, I can assure you that it is actually very easy and enjoyable. Some portions of the game does take some time to build up but if you have the patience to play through it, you will not be disappointed. It is also able to be played through without spending actual money. Although, if you do end up purchasing in-game packages, they will not be a disappointment. (Huge bonus amounts added in)

My only complaint is regarding the local mermaid characters within your own personal kingdom. The game only allows the user to obtain two total befriended mermaids, even though the game displays three total mermaid characters. Why isn’t the final character available, dev’s?

I liked the gameplay at first. The mini game where you shoot ghost pirates is kinda fun, in a “this is super easy and pointless” way. They start reusing levels pretty quick though.

The main game is your typical city builder, where you build up your town hall and all your barracks and stuff. But as others have pointed out, build times get longer and longer exponentially. It very quickly turns into days of waiting for a building to finish upgrading. I think I played about 5 days before seeing where it was going and quitting. I honestly wanted to keep with it for the story, but even the mini game you can only play a handful of levels before it’s locked and you have to complete so many main quests before a few more open up.

Also, it has very bad graphics. By that I mean layers of the graphics would blink in and out while in my camp. Specifically the water area. Mermaid’s hot though.

Don’t plan on playing this game and excelling without spending hundreds to upgrade your profile. If you’re not going to pump money into this game you’ll be at a great disadvantage to those that do. You’ll be bullied constantly by the players that pay an exorbitant amount of money to upgrade their profile. Not worth it!

Update:
Scams are not always easy to see. With all the online games, a lot of them have people that are playing for free while others have to pay.
this app Isle of Adventure by FunPlus
International A.G. is such a game. I reported people that had built their kingdom in no time that would have cost thousands of dollars to buy the resources. Their response was unless I have proof and can show it, then they would not investigate. All they have to do is look at the game history of the people ans see that they deposited thousands of credits all at one time.
The game only allows certain small amounts of credits at a time from 100 to 20,000 each as separate transactions. All they have to look was at addition of credits that did not fit this. I told them and their response was we don't care. So, be aware in the simulation games if you pay for something, there are people that the company helps to build them up so they can destroy your resources. Anyone that plays this app or any similar game and pays is just being scammed.

It’s another civilization builder game… and that’s cool, if you enjoy that. I downloaded this because of the challenge of shooting angles to try to hit the pirate. That is a very, very small part of the game. Yes, I’m still playing it. No, ive never bought any of their packages, and yes, I do keep moving up, but it’s slow. People who said it is a time waster we’re correct, it still a pretty good game, if you like civilization builder games. In the end, they are pretty much all the same. I’ll be quitting this one soon, because I don’t want to spend that much time playing. Now, if they would make a game that was just shooting, kinda like the levels on Angry Birds… I would do that!

Played this game for 2.5 months. Like a lot of other people who posted other reviews, I was taken in thinking I was getting a strategic shooter game, but it is more akin to Age Of Empires, where you build a fortress, join an alliance, harvest resources, etc.
What the developers fail to tell players is it is fully allowable for the major players in the game to open multiple accounts, enabling them to have lord knows how many resource streams funneling into one place.
Players I started evenly matched with were suddenly 300 times my strength over the same amount of time (and I was playing daily, as well as paying $ to speed-up the extended wait times during long builds).
There is no integrity in this game. The playing fields are not even and the developers fully enable it to happen. Save yourself a lot of time/money and skip it.

They get you in the beginning with very cool game play and building and working on become better. It was fun starting off the game because just focused on building up the resources and adding to your estate. Only problem with this, once you reach a certain level you open yourself up for attack and for the people that want to waste their hard earned money on the game will just come in and attack and destroy everything you have worked hard to build up. For a game to sit back and relax to play this is not the one for you. Understanding that most games are pay to play this is the prime game that if you do not want to spend your money on it, then look somewhere else. Plenty of other fun games out there that you can focus on strategy without having to deal with the effects of losing everything from another player.

Y’all need to chill, this game isn’t that bad and is far from paying a ton of money being the only option. This game is geared a lot towards spending but to me it makes it more fun. Cause while it’s slower to grow f2p it’s possible. Unlike other games I’ve played. You want to know what a true pay to win game is? Play Game of thrones conquest. It’s my main war strat game and in order to max out everything in that game it would cost you up in the 100k mark. F2p is not impossible but it’ll take so long you most likely won’t be alive to see it. In this game however. As long as you have patience you will grow.

My guess is the creators have paid a lot of people to give this game 4 star and above. Either that or people really don’t mind wasting money and are too nice. They’ve put about every gatcha scheme I’ve seen into this game. Waiting for resources, random paid packs, pvp where they destroy your base, upgrade times, multiple heroes to buy… the list goes on.

The sad part is you can see they’ve actually put SOME effort into the game; the graphics aren’t bad, and the storyline is intriguing. There’s plenty of busty beautiful babes (and a few handsome hunks) to catch your eye, and a few mysteries to solve.

Oddly, the part they’ve put the least effort into is what most people were promised: the shooting and bouncing bullets off of walls to kill your enemies part. I was able to play at least 50, and most were very easy to solve. I think I failed one time. There’s really little challenge to it, and most of the game consists of the kingdom building and army building functions.

Overall, I’d say that if you want to waste an hour or two doing some somewhat fun free things this might do it. Just be warned that even that aspect is designed to lure you in until you’re invested enough to not quit.

They rope you into this game quickly, then you find out you have to spend real $$ if you want to be able to grow and compete. Wait….it gets better from here! Then they have this event every couple of weeks where you have to battle another kingdom for the crown. During the battle you should expect to lose most, if not all of your troops. That’s right folks, win or lose you’ll have to rebuild your entire force! Don’t get me wrong (enter sarcastic tone now), they are very generous when they give you 70k troops back out of the hundreds of thousands troops you lost. And again, if you want to rebuild your force back up to pre-battle levels, get out that credit card! End result, the developers care about one thing, and one thing only. Your hard earned money!

Update: I mainly play PS5 when I game, but this game is terrible. I mean after a certain point you end up saying to yourself; Why did I spend SO much time and/or money? The advertisements cover what you do less than 1% of the game, especially after the first couple hours. I remember literally saying “this game is cheap, especially compared to St@r Tr3k”. It starts like that, boy was I wrong and at least ST made sense. There’s no instructions, I have never played a game that offered less in the form of entertainment. I’m in the strongest clan in our kingdom and our 2nd strongest player just gave his account to my closest friend in the game. It was a level 34 account with 700,000,000+ power.

I’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 this app all about the sharpshooter game and remove the town completely. that way you’re game will reflect its ads properly.

Is gameplay like the ads? Sadly yes, but mainly because it’s simple and boring. Nothing about this is fun. It’s a low effort game with constant pop ups trying to get you to by stuff (micro transactions) with lame story line. There’s also some base building and you get to unlock heroes which is weird. On top of all that, this game desperately try’s to get you to buy something; there’s a laundry list of micro transactions that take up half the screen (I’m on an iPad and yes you can collapse the list), every action you do there’s constant pop ups for “the daily sale”, and if you scroll through the list of micro transactions it seems like it doesn’t end. I don’t understand how people can play this, games should be fun not a way to milk people of their money. Other than all that, the puzzles are ok (I beat 40 puzzles in a few minutes while being half drunk). 3/10 I uninstalled this crap.

Games 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

It 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 Stormshot 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 Stormshot 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.

If 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

Wants 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.

You will be guaranteed to not have fun. This is a typical pay to win game but this one has a little spicy edge to it. They’ve gotten into promising things like “all troops that ever died will be able to be revived” and then you find out that there’s one catch…you have to pay to revive them. Lately they are making absolutely horrible matchups for events. For example: an alliance at 37 billion power versus an alliance at 12 billion power. That is no fun for either side and their answer? “The matchups are made according to similar matching scores”. How is it possible that the two aforementioned alliances even remotely achieve the same matching score? Especially when the higher powered alliance has 3 more players registered and their top 3 players have the equivalent power of the entire opposing alliance? Devs are liars, please do not feed these greedy profit mongers any of your money. this app, or any FunPlus game for that matter, is nothing more than a huge money grab where the developers do not hear the player base. Just say no to this game.

Yet 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!

Unsurprisingly, this game is nothing like the advert that brought us all here from IG. Worse, as the months have passed, the devs have made it impossible to progress without spending a lot of money (think in the thousands—armor mandatory to reach the next level alone will cost you upwards of $16,000. No thanks.) There are constant game lags and glitches, event rewards are poor, it takes months for the devs to address any suggestions and when they do, that one positive change is overshadowed by multiple negative changes literally no one asked for except the devs’ profit margins. And paid add ons that cost $6 for the first group of players came with a $50 price tag for everyone else a year later… If it wasn’t for the community of people I’ve met, I’d have quit ages ago. As it stands, a lot of us are looking for a new game we can share so we can escape this nightmare we’re all living in. It’s not worth the stress or money to download what is clearly an incomplete game that was probably created as part of computer programming class’ group project.

Well, I liked this game, made friends, built a decent account. I also made many purchases weekly to help upgrade. Then after around a solid 6 to 7 months of doing this I made a few purchases. Unfortunately my bank card became compromised at that time and it was frozen due to fraud. The in game purchases were held on payment due to this. A short time went by and my account resumed at my bank. Now the game is saying I received rewards without payment. Ok but their pending payment was paid. I also spent a significant amount where I was notified I would not receive rewards every time I made a purchase until past rewards were paid. I made purchases that exceeded that original amount and yet they keep preventing me from purchasing and receiving rewards. This game is a scam as far as I am concerned. They do not care if you are dissatisfied or have a complaint. I have made many complaints and received not a single response. Gamers beware.
