Rival Kingdoms: Ruination Reviews

It an excellent game that doesn’t need you to pay to progress. I played this game for three years and have seen it change. Some of the characters are no longer unlock-able which makes a completionist like me a little frustrated because I wasn’t able to unlock it when it was out. But overall the game play is good the online community is great and you don’t have to pay to play so they get a well deserved three stars. They could get the full five if they allowed you to unlock those characters.

If you don’t mind spending a little money here and there it’s a little easier to get ahead. They are making some improvements based on a survey so I don’t want to say too much too soon. If you aren’t a hardcore player with an aggressively active kingdom don’t even dream of getting the top prizes in events.

I play this game every day. I love how easy it is to level up everything without spending a dime. Granted they give you reasons to spend money on here, it’s still easy to maintain a budget. The interaction is great with other players and respectful. Overall it’s an awesome way to spend an afternoon. They also have periodic sales events where everything is cheaper in game so it’s easier to lvl up. I just spent my afternoon getting to lvl 18 finally.

Unless you expect to use your entire life upgrading or getting the in-app purchases “offers” this game give you no break on moving forward and actually enjoying the experience. The game is real basic with just deploy and pray and the beginning with no fsir match system. You get a thousand ancients that are nearly impossible to get upgrading to max at one terrestrial-life OR even get unlocked. To end my review unless you have a ton of money to diamond to max your account move somewhere else. I been on and off this game and “updates” are minimum from developers, new levels no different in dynamic to attract new players.

I like playing with the people from all over the world and making new friends. I don’t like space apes charging so much to be successful at the game. They want us to spend to much money. If they lowered their prices more people would have stayed in the game and they would make more money. Lots of people retired from the game because it cost a lot to play and it’s hard to keep up. The game is good, the friends are great, but space apes are greedy!

I’ve played this game well over 2 years and it’s been fun at times. The issue with it is it requires a lot of money to play and the base game see no innovation. Space Ape still subjects you to mandatory replays of your base getting leveled over and over on launch. The only thing that changes are that they add new ancients and various base upgrades, both of which cost a significant amount of time and money to obtain. The repetitive monotonous event base grind causes tension in kingdoms between players for those who can’t keep up. This is not a casual game whatsoever, prepare to invest a lot of time and cash if you want to compete at all.

Love the different ancients and playing live with others. Great social game. Dislike customer service. They send an auto reply and then tell you your mistaken or ignore you. iTunes great job of fixing their errors. VIP is determined by no set way. It can be given to a player who never spends any money and plays once a twice a week. Instead of to a daily player of several years who spends some. Events are
Getting very pricey seem to be catering to the big spender group. Be wary of this is free game
That’s only if you eat sleep and breathe it

It’s been months since the reveal of the iPhone X. You had MONTHS to prepare. Yet today you release an update with no support for the larger screen? Lame.

Edit: yet another update. Still no change to the size of RivalKingdoms . The aesthetics of this game haven’t changed significantly in well over a year. Other games allow you to rotate the perspective, and view the battle from different angles...this one retains the same static, boring view.

I spent at least $100 on this game when it was new, but thanks to their lack of support for the iPhone X, I’ve moved on and won’t be coming back. Thanks, Apple! Every day you’re helping to justify a 1k phone.

I started this game two weeks after it went public. I loved it. Loved the people and that has stayed true after three years. The global community is better than any game I’ve ever played, competitive but without the nastiness many battle games develop. But like others have stated Space Ape has ruined its wonderful game with predatory greed and increasingly charges more and gives less. Events are a grind each weekend and with rare exceptions the reward for the effort spent is lame. Makes me very sad.

Started this game a long time ago. Very social, wonderful graphics. Lately the prize base is shrinking ( from top 30 teams to top 10) making it very expensive to stay in the game, graphics have gone Disney(from aliens to mice in clothes), and there have made leveling ancients only for the very rich. Sad. It was a great game of international appeal that you could play fairly cheaply.

Love this game coz it gives you this exciting moment to really focus on your strategy to beat your opponent ! Coming ....I'm back !!! Destruction !!! Destroy your enemies 🇵🇭still here and here to stay waiting for more upgrades and xtra rewards for every effort we give . Hopefully ! Thanks you ! More power to you guys ! Keep coming !to infinity and beyond ! 👍🏿

Gameplay is geared around whoever has the deepest pockets. Pay to win and now it’s even becoming pay to play. With lots of extra useless items in arena/ relic chests. The drop rate of useful boosts has dropped dramatically. Which in turn makes basic raiding become impossible as the senteniel effect was designed with a sh15 in mind not a sh18 so with no useful boosts awarded you can’t even do raids.. Same thing week after week.

I have an IPhone X, I just updated RivalKingdoms , before the gameplay was too small to fit the screen. Now the gameplay fills the whole screen. I have a that notch in the way, and the edges are rounded. It harder to view the screen. Please to make changes on to fit the aspect ratio on for the iPhone X.

Nice way to fill free time. Like the fast forward feature. The problem is there are huge spenders in this game (not a problem for the developers) and unless you’re one also the height to which you can rise continually lessens. It becomes impossible to defeat the large spenders because the reward for spending are the mythic level ancients which are needed to defeat the maxed kingdoms.

So much better than coc, cc and others. With dragons, magic and everything. Really really really expensive to play and very intense. But loved every minute of it.

Due to the changes on collecting extra rings in the tavern they are making the game harder for people who won’t spend money on the game they should have at least made what you can collect the same as when we collected from our friends

I have quit this game many times because I would rather have a game where teammates actually join the battle. Also it does take a lot of time and money. Lots of great things about it but the best cost dollars like most games, so it gets deleted from my phone for months at a time. The best part of it is the friends that I love ❤️

Spaceape is a company that will destroy a great game after a couple of years because they don’t want to continue making new content. They will make lame excuses on why they are killing their game. It doesn’t matter how popular a game is they will kill it after a couple of years. The team is lazy in responses and in game development. They had one good game and it soon will be dead. I’ll never play another Space Ape Game!

I’ve been playing this game for about three years and I have 3 different Strong Holds and I really love this game it’s a great way to blow off some time and you meet all kinds of people from all over. Just an all around great game.

Lots players are quitting the game. Many unhappy. No good boosts in chest. Need more mana boosts New people join but quit cause they missed opportunity to win new ancients or their ascensions. Lots of members missed out on the ascensions cause points to win event prize too high.
