Dawn of Ages Reviews

Don’t listen to the losers that gave this garbage 5 stars. It’s your typical build your city, farm resources, and a billion long timers waiting for literally every part of the game. Troops get hurt ? Timer. Upgrade a building? Timer. Cash grab for the impatient people and kids then don’t want to wait. Why the heck can’t anyone come out with anything different?? It’s all the same junk.

Just prior to yesterday’s fiasco of an update, my game clien broke and I can’t log into the game. Support suggested I try reinstalling the game, which I tried several times, with no success. Now, I get no response from them when I send follow-up messages. Bottom line – do not invest your time and ESPECIALLY do not invest any money in this game until they get their act together. I am adding to this review as it is now THREE WEEKS since I wrote the preceding paragraph and THE HELP DESK HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE. I have sent them all the required information, based on their own FAQ, for transferring the game data from my phone to my tablet more than once, and now they don’t even acknowledge receipt. I have downgraded my review to one star, as the game itself is still a good game – but woe unto anyone who needs help from the help desk. Get your act together, Boombit!

The game is time-gated and heavily supported by ads. Unfortunately, the ad feature is buggy and often crashes; requiring the player to watch the ad again.

As far as the quality and polish of the game: It doesn't exist. The menu controls are laggy and unintuitive. For example, there's no single view to examine the qualities and stats of all villagers. Likewise, comparing armor and equipment is virtually nonexistent. In fact, the store sells armors and equipment but doesn't provide any preview of what you're buying - only a small icon/image without any stat values. It's also worth noting that the scaling of cost/benefit/time-gating doesn't feel right.

As far as the actual combat, it's fairly uninspired auto battling with few options to customize the experience.

Hopefully the game continues to receive updates because it could fill somewhat of a gap in historical auto-battlers. That said, in its current state, it's a PTW experiment.

One key aspect of this game involves upgrading various buildings, which is essential for enhancing your military capabilities later in the gameplay, particularly the forge. I invested considerable time in upgrading the forge three times, along with several other buildings, which entailed waiting for hours. However, upon returning to the game after a brief 15-minute absence, I was disheartened to discover that all the progress I had made during the waiting period had been inexplicably reversed, resulting in my buildings regressing several levels. Such a setback is unacceptable to me, prompting me to uninstall the game so I don’t have to waste any more hours reprogressing in the game.

I have been a big game player since back in the Mac Quadra days but I have never seen a more deceitful, disgusting, dishonest game company. They write a nice description but don’t tell you the game will be unplayable for days. Oh, then they will not respond to email messages. No, they will not give refunds on IAP that you spent but then couldn’t use. I honestly do not understand how they are allowed to operate. Any positive reviews must be fabricated or from new players. Most companies in DawnofAges Store are reputable and try to operate respectfully to customers. Unfortunately, there are a few that should be avoided at all costs. “Dawn of Ages” is one to especially stay away from. You have been warned.

I have been as patient as I can possibly be. Yet another game crash/login failure/lost time & resources after an update.
This latest update on 26 August 2024 is the 4th update in a row that has produced the aforementioned conditions to one degree or another.

Who will Boombit blame this time????
Your excuses ring hollow.

When I first saw this game in DawnofAges store, the words "no magic" jumped out at me. I downloaded DawnofAges immediately with joy.

"FINALLY", I said, "A resource management/strategy game for ADULTS!!!!"

My greatest memory of DoA will be reaching Player Lv 260 without spending any real money in the store. Thank you for making a game that is "grinder" friendly.

However, it is shameful on Boombit's part that you have let a game with so much promise deteriorate to this degree. I no longer care if the problem gets fixed and I am able to play again.

May The Risen Lord Jesus Christ Bless You.

an absolutely crude game, everything is buggy and lags, in-game advertising makes the game impossible and disconnects you from the server. There is a proverb: if you hurry, you’ll make people laugh, they’ve screwed up the game, it’s unplayable.

Started this game few days ago looked fun at first but pretty fast you realize that the game is money hungry very greedy developers they just forgot to actually fix lots of bugs and glitches but they keep ignoring those issues and work mostly on getting more of your money instead of brining a good game experience PvP is way of balance all my opponents are like 50 lvls above me and about 5k power more then me, very disappointed not sure I’m gonna keep playing cause the more I play the bigger the issues I wish gaming companies will go back to make good games that work good and smooth but instead they all deliver weird buggy games that they all focus on taking more of your money and delivering really poor game experience.

i been log out

Like many of these games, there’s a lot to do at the start, but as you upgrade building and units, the upgrades take longer and longer. Soon, you’re spending more time waiting than playing.

I like the use of resources as “energy” to campaign. That’s a nice touch. The graphics are decent, and the music isn’t too annoying. If you want a game to play twice a day, this isn’t a bad choice. If you’re looking for a bit more action, you’ll find this game to be tedious.

I started to enjoy this game after I had to reinstall it twice to even play. It has potential but it starts getting too difficult to win battles too quickly. Can’t upgrade your town or troops unless you beat a chapter which of course gets to hard after a while. I suppose if I spent money that changes fast. After a few days it started crashing again so I deleted it. More annoying than enjoyable for me.

The update that I downloaded today makes buttons unusable. Some work, but I think about 30% are out of commission. The update failed. My only other critical feedback is that we could use more heads up on events and updates coming, without the need for push notifications. Most games are successful at this, and it boosts sales.

The update created to fix my problem was prompt and I love how responsive the company was, but it didn’t fix it. I still can’t collect anything in the workshop. To charge $10 and $20 for basic “season” rewards and still not have buttons work….

Simply put it’s a very new game. It’s fun, very similar to other games Buuuut I do find this game to be more appealing! I’d like to suggest including a 2nd builder. Either when they buy the “battle pass” or give some option to obtain another builder. 1 builder just simply won’t cut it. There are some players who are maxed out already lol it’s crazy!
Also I’ve had the “Clan feature unlocked for some period now but I haven’t been able to use it. Give the error server problems so it’s locked!
I get disconnected from the server in the middle of watching an add to complete a task, the add doesn’t count so I have to rewatch an add again…

This game is pretty alright but it gets very grindy after you leave the first age. If you time to waste and prefer a game that isn’t stupidly P2W while still having a grinding aspect, this game is perfect.

Overall, the game is not P2W and is great for long-term players who are fine with waiting hours to days to make any significant progress. If the game is not careful, though, they could become P2W in a similar fashion to Clash of Clans.

Title says it all. Basic game is good if you like medieval build ‘em fighting games. However it crashes all the time. Not in battle, just when moving around the town. Don’t think I’ve managed 2 battles without a crash yet. Very disappointing to release such a poorly tested game, it’s not even beta test worthy considering I use a regular iPad where crashes are mainly caused by lazily written ads.
Update.
Thank you for the reply. Sadly these crashes do not seem to be caused by the ads. Moving around the town, changing, upgrading, almost anywhere any time the game just crashes. To be Frank it is not playable so I deleted it.

The game so far is really good, it isn’t fast paced but it helps you grow in a good pace, has great mechanics that needs a bit of polishing but the only problem is the missions to upgrade your civilization, there’s a mission of reaching certain BP (Battle Points) where you need to fight against an AI, the problem is that you constantly fight against pay to win AI mainly one where they use really overpower weapons that cost money. After talking a lot in the community you can see people saying that it’s normal, they do this so you waste money on the game.

Great game but change it, it’s so annoying being close to your BP goal and then facing 2-3 AI with crossbows and then losing a lot more points

Refreshing game in the strategy line up amazing new city builder and strategic medieval combat simulator. Love it just hate the pay to win

Hey I’ve been playing your game for a month and I’ve spent money on some things but I came to report a problem there’s a bug in the game where I can’t access my workshop to collect my things I’ve produced it happened today after the update and I’ve noticed you made it easier to get coins and everything because it’s very difficult to get coins unless you spend money and it seems like it’s a buy to win game.. but I just requested can you please fix the bug on where I can access my products to advance more into the game in close to having a level 10 town hall

Its a fun game, very grindy at times. The PVP needs work, its not very balanced.
Would like to see more strategies using different Tacticards. Also a better explanation on what forge means by Clothes and Items (slow) is i cant find anything.
I love the item/weapon customization and upgrades changing weapon/armor forms.
But the gold ratio is not good, you will spend some money playing this game.
Free battle pass isnt the best, but the paid one is nice but pricey imo.

I’ve gotten as far as I could and for some reason I can not equip the shield to my troop in order to allow me to complete my quest and continue on to the next set of quests, would like clarification on what is happening with that

Was excited to get the game and have been on everyday since it came out but hit a wall to get 600 battle points. The perk system is way to much work. At the beginning I had no problems I was advancing at a decent speed taking my time but now I’ve kinda lost interest… and army might doesn’t matter apparently. Not that it matters since I go up against people with 10k more might which is pushing me back further from that 600 battle points mark. So I think I’m done with this game for awhile. But it’s not a bad game.

Hi! I think the game has a lot of potential and think it’s very good. However, the game definitely needs some quality of life features to polish it more. The biggest one being Auto-collecting resources feature. Because the storage for each production resource is so low compared to our main storage, if we are away from the game for too long and don’t collect the resources when it fills up, then it’s a loss of time and resources. Nothing moves. PLEASE PLEASE CHANGE THIS and add in an auto-collect feature when we are away from the game. As soon as for example, the grain resource storage fills all the up, it should automatically be collected and moved to our main storage. We as human beings, can’t be on this 24/7 and need sleep after all. Don’t discourage the players by forcing them to get on the game every hour of the day to collect resources. Let them know that it’s okay to be away for some parts of the day, and then when they get back on it, they can see their main storage being a lot more full and not having to feel like they are behind. Please add this feature and I will give it 5 stars. Thank you.

A well made game, I enjoy the fighting and micro managing aspect of it. The micro management part is awesome, however with that being said. I’d love to see additions to the village, maybe instead of just clicking the locations, (lumber, living quarters, forge) it would open up its own little (map) for customizable layouts n whatnot. A cool thing to see that I think would make the game even more intuitive would be in depth character recognition within the squads of people itself. Idk how I felt about having one person duplicated as 9 people. Felt a little odd but none the less I’m really enjoying the game. Good work guys

It’s pretty good I like the realism aspect and I wish the campaign could be taken offline but it’s a solid game

I absolutely love this game spend long time on it in a day. Only things that I feel are missing is a clean HUD option like in the top right or anywhere to look for the summer wreaths I feel like sometimes when I try to click on one of them I click on one of the options to open something. Or not make it a toggle make it only show up when your doing something that requires it to be seen like upgrading something and needing to now how many resources I have. Just a little something I thought of. Anyways love the game.

I’m glad I had to be 1 of the first people to play this game this game is so beautiful love the music love the art keep up the good work and thanks u 🙏🏼

Really enjoyable and paced gameplay. Looking forward to what this team can achieve in future updates!

Omg i love the game

Of course, the game has only released globally around 2 days ago by this point. However, the potential is endless! The customizability, the micromanaging, and even the wacky names; this game has incredible features. However, due to it being somewhat new, there are many things that feel a little tacky. Despite its intriguing, strategic gameplay and somewhat difficult and exhilarating progression, many things appear to be somewhat off. Here’s a list of things that I personally think this game needs! -The “victory” screen’s background looks like a png? In fact, even your hero looks like a png? I don’t know, but I think it would more interesting to have a 3D animation or cutscene that really captures the feeling of triumph after battle! However, I know this is a little too much to ask for. -In addition to the previous statement, a little refinement to the models may be needed. Of course, this is mostly likely about to happen anyways, but better graphics (especially lighting and more battle locations) would definitely ramp up the immersive experience that is this game. -Lastly, of course, a larger selection of heroes and factions from other areas of Europe or even globally! Expanding to other areas and factions would increase the game’s replay value and the total amount of strategies you can use. Otherwise, this is an amazing game! 10/10, you go devs!

Very great! I very much enjoy this game. But my only issue is the constant crashes.

Download it

For starters, I want to thank the developers for making a medieval game that doesn’t follow that clichéd garbage of always adding folklore or mythological stuff like dragons. It’s refreshing to see a medieval game that doesn’t follow most others. However, most importantly: It’s not a Game of War clone. It’s doesn’t even come close to being a GoW clone. That’s super refreshing.

Secondly, I wanna say that the gameplay is good, the progression curve is good, the city development is good and the PvP is good. Can’t say anything about clans because as of writing, it’s locked due to server errors but I’m in no hurry to see the clans function.

Normally in these reviews I point out what I think can help the game out but I don’t have any to think of and that’s a good thing to me. It shows the developers know what they’re doing.

That’s my review, thank you for reading if you do.

Love the game thus far but since today’s update there has been one issue after another. can’t start building upgrades, can’t collect items from workshop. restarted multiple times. hopefully gets worked out soon.

This game is a truly amazing and marvelous and remarkable outstanding medieval game and the armor part is realistic but I wish when you are doing the campaign and your in the Birds Eye view of the battle you can move your men around then start the battle I think that’ll be cool and good besides that everything at the beginning of this text is the same here 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

played the game a few hours and have had a chill time, some crashes now and then but that’s to be expected from a newer launched game. i think it doesn’t break the mold, but it does improve on the genre very well! give it a try :)

The game itself is alright, I enjoy the combat system and how the armors, weapons, and placement of your troops can mean all the difference. The developer doesn’t have the best history but it seems like they are actually trying with this one.

Amazing graphics, lots of fun, and Ive so far had zero issues after about 3hrs of play time.

The reason I like this game is they got rid of that t1 t2 t3 system all the games like this adopt. Instead they have a system that’s still pay to win a bit but isn’t completely pay to win and as you advance requires actual strategy and formation play.

I think this is my first review of a game but this one deserves it! Love how you can see the battle unfold and also how good the graphics are. If I would give advice to developer it would be nice to add a day/night cycle and also if the had seasons in game for snow and etc. other than that love the game!

Really enjoy this game, I think I have run into a glitch where I am unable to upgrade my town hall in order to get to the early middle ages? It says i must reach the early middle ages to upgrade my town hall but I cant get to the early middle ages without upgrading my town hall? Its like an oxymoron haha

The game is, to put simply, Phenomenal. It’s tactical in its own way, and also relaxed at the same time. Tutorial gives great advice, and let’s the player choose how to set up their formations in battle.

It’s been along time since we’ve had a decent game to play. It’s balanced with upgrades, tech, and strategy. I don't like to leave reviews before day 10 of playing but I feel this game is deserved of a good pump.

I like most that you have to evenly upgrade buildings to get ahead. Makes the playing field even. Fighting comes down to strategy and upgrades.
I like that you can upgrade peasant tools and clothes.
You can arrange your troops, and command them if you choose.

And the graphics and play is smooth.
There is a lot more just playing the game it’s fun.
Later nerds

Dawn of ages is an interesting game and offers a unique take on the Middle Ages as a setting. The goal is to reach the end of the medieval era and you do this through acquiring resources and upgrading your characters and your city. There are things you can pay for but its not game breaker like some other games.

I’ve never left a review in my life on DawnofAges Store, but I’m sitting in front of my gaming computer setup, and I’m playing this on my phone instead. I’ll be playing this a long time

The battles feel a lot like what I imagine dark age battles to feel generally like as a general. You make your arrangements and hope the asymmetry you set up will conjure a victory.

I thoroughly enjoy this game quite a bit, almost been playing a week now and I love it. My only complaint is it feels like there’s just way to many bundles for sale allowing people to get far way too quickly, that being said the prices for said bundles are pretty absurd. But other than that I’m not finding it difficult at all to naturally progress which i do appreciate.

The game just had a global launch and it’s great! The graphics are very nice to look at and the game play has some strategy to it. Can’t wait for future updates!

Great game but I wish I could make chat not give a notification icon when its unread unless its clan chat. I dont care about global

I like the game a lot I do but there’s some bugs like my archers keep freezing and breaking and idk what to do please please!!! Fix it bc it’s ruining the experience and game please fix it thank you:(
