Kingdom Maker: Build & Battle

The game is great, however there are recent issues. You can no longer tell what tier your own or enemy dragons are, you can't tell if your getting items or shards from events, nobels are glitching where they wont inherit traits and some events no longer show what the rewards are.

Awesome game and has a lot of potential but too pay to win as of rn. alot of upgrades are stuck behind paying to win or just grind for months. but the upgrading is very satisfying

This is a game you can only enjoy when you have money to spend on it. If you don't have money, then you are just cannon fodder for the rich players who will bully you just for the sake of their entertainment. Very bad game, would not recommend to anybody, just a waste of time.

changing things on my account without my authorization no notifications about anything is my reason for bad review

have been playing this game for 4years and counting , i like the aspect of the breeding and micro management for the troops which typically not many mobile game give out , and yes as most of the comments might have said alredy , it's leaning more towards p2w aspect, breeding is still to certain extent isn't monetized much, as i said "much" otherwise overall game helps p2w playing quite much with introduction to new equipments for early keeps on events and such , overall decent game

Pure P2W game

refused to load past 20% and wouldn't even start, it's a farce and scam.

it's a nice name, but similarly to other games of this category you need to be active daily if you want to be competitive and even then big spenders will eventually roll you over.

This is a scam, and I'm not playing any of it. The advertisement was totally false. Please upvote this so it goes to the top of the list that way people know much faster.

I didn't understand this game

epic .. Im addicted

this game is way worse than p2w. it is paywalled locked on most meta stuff. the devs are extremely greedy. DO NOT PLAY!

a great game with a great community

I added this review because they removed my old negative one. Typical. Kingdom Maker is a pure cash grab pay to win hellhole. Devs keep gutting F2P rewards and events so you either dump hundreds or thousands or get stomped by whales who buy their way to god mode. Progression turns into a second job once you hit mid levels. Toxic chat full of bullying and zero real moderation. Support doesn’t care. Updates make it worse, not better. Avoid unless you like getting milked and silenced. 1 star game.

they banned my account and accused me of using other account even I didn't. lots of players do Noble trading to improve their traits with their friends while I am the only one who got banned. you deserve a one star, getting rare nobles is the only thing that I enjoy in this game and you completely ruin it

While the overall gameplay isn't bad, losing an alliance because of not being able to log in for a few days is absolutely terrible design. Sucks that real life interferes with this game's progression. Oh well. On to other things.

One of the best

fairy good game I do spend about 1k a month here..... sadly watching it slowly dwindle though. Dave hates free players.

the developers is very nice and its have a very active community in Discord overall the game is very good the war the economy and i really love the nobel system

this is intresting game

well the game is sooooooo great , but unfortunately ran into some probs regarding game loading n out of nowhere there's hundreds of mb files started downloading n everything was stuck , now I read others reviews n no one had seemingly ran into such problem , but the time i had with the game is unforgettable cuz it's such a good game n just the type of game i loved to play.....🥺

would 6 star rate it if dave gives me 10000 hours boink berries :/

Money grabbing devs, this game was genuinely great when I first started playing then over the course of a year the game went tremendously downhill making the back more and more expensive every couple of months it was actually absurd when pack that actually felt like they did something became 50-100$ to purchase like are you kidding me and the more money you sink in the stronger you are of course the pay to win will never stop because the devs are greedy and dont care about their players.

it was great game at first but you just cant get some things unless you pay it seems i tried few times to pass the tavern got to level 40 and close to win but everytime some error shows up so i basically lose and cant get a dragon makes no sense and after that everything is okay so no problem but cant get a dragon this way just wasting time

this apps sole goal is to get your money

heavily focused on pay to win

Good game until keep level 25, where players can unlock double pvp damage for $100 usd. The difference is too great for players not willing to spend that level of money and so just become obsolete. The reply below is completely misleading and boarderline a lie. The resources necessary to aquire suspicious good pvp (double pvp damage) is so convulted and difficult it would take at least one year to gain all the resources to unlock it. Due to that lie, you loose a star

moneygrab game, couldve been great

pay 🧱

Hello, I hope you can read this but I'm gonna give it a 5 stars, I only need is Family tree update, and also I'm feeling itchy when My grandson had a same age as his Father.🤣🤣🤣, I keep resetting the game not because I was bad but for my own roleplay too. And I also hope that dying of ages might be in feature, if I haven't played for months the kingdom would automatically breed new nobles and upgrading to slightly levels just for the returnees to ever play again, never ruined the hype.

Used to be really fun. it still is fun but its heavily pay to win now, even in events I can get ahold of 1 to 2 good things but then theres a bunch of people who spend thousands of dollars/euros/pounds to get everything and max it out at the same time. and fighting is heavily one sides as defending has no way of controlling there troops to not get pulled away from the keep from sitting enemy armies on far sides of the map.

very free to play friendly

Game idea is great, but the developers are trash and this is a 100% pay to play game. Dont expect them to care when there " algorithm " fails, they will politely tell you to get bent. Find a different game, unless you just won the lotto.

this game is phenomenal. it has a fully interactive tactical battle map. there are a bunch of different ways to build. there is not stamina locks on your armies. the problems is the pay wall. I have played this game for about 5 years and the game used to be balanced so that $ ment you grew faster & had more buffs than others. recently all the new content, like there Titans, some of the gear, & gear xp is locked behind a pay wall. the game used to be grinder friendly, but not so much now.

game use to be able to compete ftp. now its a new spending event for every dailies,weeklies, and monthlies. sure you can grow to an extent but the player base is spending hundreds and thousands you can't compete.

During one of my breaks titans were introduced. it took quite a while for me to unlock them because they are only available at certain times. just needed 2 more that everyone else got for free. now frost ice giants are behind a pay wall only. no way to earn them in game. from a game I had high hopes for originally, has become a system looking to monetize every aspect. why not make it something like your suspiciously good research to reward retention, this just makes me want to quit.

Perfect example of a pay to win game . Don't waste your time on it . You will regret it.

Yet another game marked as Single Player, but it's a multiplayer, PvP, RTS game.

هذه اللعبة لا تصلح للأطفال لأن في مقطع غير إخلاقي و للمتزوجين فقط. الرجاء عدم تنزيل هذه اللعبة للأطفال. للكبار و المتزوجين فقط. أحذركم مرة أخرى لا تنزلوا هذه اللعبة لأطفالكم. أنا حذفت اللعبة تعتبر خطرة على الأطفال.

this game is pretty good and the armies and kingdom defense is really good they added dragons to the game a while ago but the campaign is just too hard for someone who doesn't use money so please if your seeing this make the campaign just Abit easier for new players to get and it could lower the paywall guarding this game

cool game, I've been at it for over a month now. It would be even better if trading was more developed. we need to be able to purchase ores and service honors and whatnot. The whole point of trading is to use what you have to get what you need, in this aspect the game can be better. Also, if we could have more control over our direction of attack during battles, that would be great.

this game is just nice, but the only thing I don't like is I have to wait for the game to load.. I have to sit and watch some hourglass spinning for 10 to 15 minutes. that sucks

game is very slow

best game ever

this game is the best medieval game you can play an absolute gem one thing is that you cant control your unit which is hard when your defending or attacking it aint tactics it just finessing

please add++ goblins ettins trolls ratmen mimics

it's a good game but heavy pay to win, in the long run if you aren't spending you'll never make the top and also end up getting bullied or ruled by whales.

Not bad at all

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. Look at the 5 star reviews and look at the dates, its been years. This used to be a great game, dare I even say one of the best games in this mobile game genre for people who don't want to spend. Now it isn't. Its clear that with each update as of recent they devs have been trying to suck any money they can out of the player base, leaning heavier and heavier into the P2W side while doing nothing to improve the actual game.

The game has steadily become more pay-to-win over the past year. The introduction of new Army and Noble Gear has added another progression system that is effectively locked behind spending money or acquiring premium currency, making it increasingly difficult for free-to-play and low-spending players to play. all while abandoning old content, like the titans each update seems to introduce another monetized progression layer.

i have had fun with this game but there is a weird glitch that i foubd that is horrible for my progession. for some reason when ever i try to claim leaderboard event rewards it just wont happen this has happened. this has screwed me out of second place rewards in the shard show down for the prrvous two days you should make it so that once the event ends the rewards on the leaderboard are auto claimed if it disapears in other words you owe me 200 lysandra tokens

he is a good game

theyve recently made the game much better for ftp players. Ive dropped a few dollars here and there but most of the purchases are way out of my price range. that being said if you grind a bit it's very rewarding and you don't have to spend money if you don't want. I do wish they had lower tier purchases available like most games. .99 or 1.99 purchases add up. either way they have ramped up events and missions and the game is as addicting as it is fantastic. Dave. hook a brotha up with a Coronet

Dark mode that can turn the transition loading cloud to black or dark should be added. I like the family feature

Kingdom Maker is a game where you battle with your credit cards to determine who has the most disposable income. P2W to the extreme

just don't waste your data

This game is heavy into Pay to Play. New items and features are added every 2-3 months and these are here for a limited time. I have been playing for years and there was a point where anything that was added and was new was easy for anyone one to obtain. giving a version of said item that was basically for lower level players/casual players and one version for hard-core players.game can still be played as a F2P player, however that will not last forever.

Fun game that is super addictive and has a super Interactive and helpful dev team. Please send coronets Dave.

It was 5 star but these days it's p2w. Even big accounts are dropping off now

The update last year ruined the game, changed everything completly, alot of good players stopped playing, spent alot of money on the game which then was wasted because of the update changed all the mechanics, developers are complete idiots

It's so very very lazy to loading after the scene what is that it's that? if u see I send this picture but nothing seee to post it in this messagess!!

When this game came out it was great. Now it is just a money grab. It's more work than my actual job (which pays me). Everything is a grind or is won by those willing to pay out thousands to win. Events are poorly run (also to many) with almost every event requiring a points correction, mechanics issues, or partcipants getting screwed over because the logistics weren't thought out. This game is trash at this point. Any good reviews are from noobs or for the original game. #chaos

honestly this game is pretty fun to play. original post 2022. 2026 edit. I'd like to make a request. there's alot of player's who would like it if the sheild that protects player's kingdoms until you upgrade to level 10 was instead a permanent sheild until you first attack another player.

DAVE!!!! 500 word limit is not enough

Really a very good game, the only problem is there are large number of inactive player.

the p2w is to crazy not even grinding could help you fillin the gap, you can grinding and online for 24/7 and losing againts player playing 1days ago that spend money

Update: Great Job again!! The new capitals and guilds, great!! Love all the little things you can do. I'm waiting to see how the game is at higher levels. Still playing!! It's been over 3 years, and this game keeps me entertained. Might be for 10 min, or 6 hrs. Dave and devs do a good job at keeping it fresh!! Thanks!

incredibly boring "game". with no actual fighting just watching simulations zzzzzzz

well i used to like it. now the focus is shifted to whales even at that the things u buy are at most 2 days farm it is neither f2p or p2w it is just becoming more like spend money to do 1 task

pay to win as all hell

Wish, you can longing with more than one, instead of only facebook or just apple. Wish there were family trees, and wish you can cancel marriages, on your own. wish you could search all players. not just limited to the ones, in your global chat. When you start a new game all the time, everyone around the globe.

bed experience

entirely pay to win

W game with very active devs who interact with the community who care a lot for the game they work hard and although not perfect its a fun long term game with a decent bit of grinding and f2p options even if p2w get some advantages its a game that caters towards working with others and helping each other grow

it's pretty cool

The only thing that matters is a size of a wallet. Commitment and dedication turns to dust in comparison.

fun until you hit the pay wall

another clash of clans/ Evony type game. NOT single player

the game will have you buy gems but ends at level 40. ripoff

not quite that good Kingdom contest store dose not work

Became too much pay to win. after more than 2 years playing I had to just delete my account

hi devs the game is good but only 1 option is missing.... promoting your lower tier units. but overall it's good

what a slow a game downloading 158mb? it's so slow to the point I don't even wanna play it it's like the devs did this on purpose I can literally download gbs of data in seconds let alone games that makes u download it again once inside but this? the game eats like 0.5 bits just to reach 158mb slow as hell just me staring in my screen reading those poster more than 10 times waiting for the game to finish downloading inside just to play and I haven't even played the game yet

the reason this game is just so engaging is bc of the noble breeding diffrent traits , everything else is fine but need more improvement like the ui for event overall pretty good experience.

forced to rate 1 star because this game is pay-to-win anymore

it is a war game crude and grind game based like . every game is good until you make it based on how much money you spend . the devs is surely good at making the game worse and worse , They listen more to players who spends . enjoyed it for while but once you understand that it is all bout money. you quit. DO NOT SPEND ON THIS GAME REMEMBER SOMEONE ELSE WILL SPEND MORE THAN YOU . (unless you wanna enjoy the game peacefully behaving like a good dog). game idea was good till money called

Very good and satisfying

Was 5 stars when it first came out but now just like so many other people this game is p2w 1 trillion percent pay to win and 1 trillion percent pay wall game and it's a shame because this game used to be nice

removed the boink record and the sacrifice record in this game and I'm willing to spend

There is nothing worse than wanting to try a new game but you have to name you character first and it's so lame I spent my first ten minutes trying different names but all were taken. I refuse to spend more time trying to name a character so this game is being Uninstalled.

so much time consuming for little things man. build a game not a mess.

Very pay to win

I like and play this games because it randomly generated roads between buildings where there is no other games like this.

better buy Norland on steam. cheaper than this p2w game with more to offer.

This game is amazing from graphics to sound and more. But I have a suggestion, pls don't let the married nobles stay in our keeps because there's no space for the new children anymore. Thank you!

this game is mostly here to pay to win don't waste your time to download it. plus it's a very long grid to upgrade things in this game. FULL WARNING DON'T PLAY THIS GAME ITS MORE PVE THAN PVP!!!

am waiting room update its ❤️‍🔥 ilove this game

great game.

Addicted.

bugs, I lost all of my progress in a blink of an eye and yet I didn't do anything that will cause for it to disappear

Good game so far, still a long way to go though! There is a major advantage to attackers, players that pay have a bigger advantage, its almost impossible and terribly tedious to farm honors wood food and stone without doing events and too few mines that halt the most important parts of growing. Again things are getting better, but many improvements are still needed.

Started out as a good game, but as time went on they seem to have ditched what made it good (storylines, unique quests and events, ability to reasonably earn what you want or need by working, several various troop types...), and turned it not just into a P2W, but practically into P2P, as more and more stuff essential to being competitive is behind paywalls - and EXPENSIVE paywalls at that. So unless you have quite literally THOUSANDS of dollars to spend, I wouldn't waste your time on this game.

I left my first review on this game on 1/18/22, and the game was released on 1/13/22. I played when the game was brand new, and I thought it was the best game to ever exist! Unfortunately, they ruined this game. The honor medals are a stupid mechanic that adds NOTHING except an annoying feature to the game! Who on earth thought, "We should add honor medals to the game and force players to grind the hell out of npc's even if they have tons of food laying around!"The game is only for memories now

This game is the best and closest thing I have found to my childhood favorite time of playing Dungeons and dragons. It's got everything in great detail. There are some toxic players to deal with but it seems to work itself out. Also devs are awsome and there for any question or help you may need. They know their game and what goes on. Very helpful.

This game is a joke. There's no real balance of power within each servers player base. And as long as you keep on having high level troops (that don't have any real consequences if you lose a battle by the way) the power base doesn't change at all which makes it unbalanced. EDIT: Unless troop death becomes a thing in this game, it'll never be balanced between players.

It was a great game in the beginning few days. Then I rode off of that for a week. Then I tried grinding for a while realizing that I was making nearly no progress. I tried restarting and changing my approach to make the sharp grinding halt of progress from being so jarring. Nope. You will reach a point where all that is left is going through the motions after a couple of weeks.

Really fun and addictive game. I'm early right now, but the features are really cool like the stories with your family, and the amount of options you have to strategize and create your kingdom is wonderful. I like how you can still play the game mostly without having to buy premium features of which there many, but you can still enjoy the game without them. Hope they keeping updating, having a lot of fun with it!

Had been playing for about 2 years and spent a few dollars on this game. Had made it to level 28. Loved the game until this last update, ruined it for me. Enjoyed the alliance play and general game play, now to me not really playable. Have to spend hours of grinding now to progress. Unfortunately I uninstalled the game. If they change the platform back I'd install again. Until then it's a no.

This game would have received a 5 star rating if I had done one 5 months ago. But after several updates, the developers have made the game nearly unplayable for F2P players and make everything cost a ridiculous amount of money. To top it off, now they have introduced an update that gets rid of units that you spent time gathering materials for and give you what they consider "fair trade" when now you barely have enough units to fill a couple armies. The devs don't care as long as people spend $$$

I've played the game a couple years now. Most everything was achievable without money, just took a bit of grinding. All aspects of the game were put together pretty well and it was fairly enjoyable. However, there has been a recent update which turned KM into virtually an all new game. It is almost completely unplayable. There is absolutely zero entertainment left.

A lot of toxicity, but if you manage to remove yourself from those players, it was actually very fun. Until the August 4th update. The game was basically completely changed, troops people spent months to build were completely removed and "refunded" (you will never get the hours you spent back). Achieving anything now requires way more time, resources, or money. F2P could more or less keep up in the past through vigorous farming, but the rewards just don't really warrant playing anymore tbh...

So a year ago when I first started playing game was definitely a 5 star game! Now it's a 1 star game. It's fun early on, but once you reach a certain point, it's terrible. They force P2P with every "update" or "fix." They deliberately make things worse and harder for players forcing u to spend to make it even harder so u get buyers' remorce! Update 8/6/23. After game Update everything we've done and paid for is ruined. And EVERYONE is complaining and even striking the game. GAMES DEAD!

The game itself is fantastic. I played it for well over a year and spent hundreds of dollars on it. However. I got into with a certain dev and was permanently banned from the game. I tried to reach out to Scopely directly because I do not think I should have been perma banned over a disagreement with 1 dev 1 time, and they refused to lift the ban. End of the day I think you will absolutely love the game itself, and as long as you don't disagree with any staff members you should be ok.

FYI you will be constantly farmed by powerful players. 5 to 10 times your power. There is nothing you can do about it. They can also take your best units (family members) from you and there is no way to get them back. Yes they offer a Ransome but it it is unattainable with out spending tons of real money to buy the nessasery resources. Game has potential but without allowing protection for smaller players it just becomes annoying and extremely frustrating.

Game is strictly pay-to-win. If you don't pay more than $50 you won't survive in the game. People in top alliances pay up words of $2.7k on average. New additions to the game require payment to use. Game is nothing but a money grab! Would not recommend unless you have a few thousand. Everything is obtainable however people who pay get more quicker than people who don't pay

There's no point to the game, except perhaps breeding the "perfect" noble (which is actually an endorsement of eugenics). The AI is so stupid it runs from defensive strongpoints just to kill some archers on the other side of the castle, leaving the Main Gate open to attack from follow on reinforcements. There are no tactical controls, armies have to "get in line" to do battle (seriously?), and there's no objective, except to seize a piece of territory to call your own... 🙄

It's a good game. These kind of games don't get me longer. But for my surprise I have 5 months playing (not all the time), and the events are good, and you don't have to pay for being in the rank 1. I finished many events in first place without wasting a penny, in fact I buy a package every 2 or 3 levels when I upgrade my keep. Anyway, the only thing, it's the space for my nobles. I'd wish I could have the possibility to buy (gold or real money) more space instead of burn them :(

Worst combat game ever. Plus, Ive played for two months. In game purchases are $50 min. Players are too OP and the developers don't care about the players at all. Only OP players can afford to protect resouces so the poor get stepped on. I run an alliance and everyone quits. That is why they are merging servers. Don't waste your money like I have. It's not worth it. It's too bad. The game has tons of potential.

Great game, but has room for improvement. For example, in the quests, it's always you attacking, it would be cool if there were some quests where you have to defend. The army command should be a lot better, they switch targets too much, unlike an actual army would. But it is a very enjoyable game and still is very fun

Dont waste your time and money here. The game is pay to win to the highest possible level. And no matter how much you buy, there will be a toxic player that has more free time and is willing to spend more. Scopely managed to create a game with huge potential, but they ruined it with their greed. EDIT: ofcourse I got the clasic copy/paste reply. Balanced you say? At keep 17, anyone can buy a full army of tier 3 units, that only unlocks at keep level 21. Horrible game balanceing system.

Was working awesome, but then my chromebook updated and now the game isn't working right. This may be an issue on my end, but it has downgraded my experience. The issue: the game screen won't get bigger...it has options for phone, tablet, and "resizable," but that last option doesn't actually allow me to resize the screen. The mouse also won't work right on the screen when I want it to. I guess I'll have to stop playing the game now? Oh well. Would have been a 5 otherwise.

Was really enjoying the game. Some of the recent updates have been super buggy. But what's killing it for me is the fact that with one of the updates 1200 gold bars vanished inexplicably from my account. It's been two weeks and I've had to send 3 follow ups to support who now tell me - after saying I would be reimbursed - that they will only update via discord (not to individual players who have reached out to support) IF they choose to reimburse gold to players who lost it. IF. For real?!

My only wish is that they honored first time players for signing up. I bought a bundle pack and I thought I was getting a helmet, but I didn't. So I had to buy another pack to get my special bundle. It wasn't clear whether I was getting the special first 2 your deal or not. Other than that, great game. Love the way the units fight on the battlefield. Nice artwork!

The game itself is complex and fun to play, the app in the other hand is heavy, filled with glitches and lags all the time, not sure what the developers have done to it but lately I've had to keep the app opened for periods that vary from 30 min to over 3hrs just to load the game, I'm nearly giving up on it as support has not been useful and all steps have been followed to optimize the game process. Ps. Think twice before spending in a game that may let you down at any given time.

As far as these types of games go, I like this one waaaay more than any other. It's got a unique style and it isn't a cookie cutter copy like most other games. I do wish they would add more depth to alliances though. Add roles like governing jobs or ranks. At least let someone besides the clan leader help do recruitment. Such a fun game though.

Been playing for awhile and I'm still having fun. Have to minus one star temporarily as I do think the server merges should be the main priority at this point and it does subjectively feel for me that it's not being done as fast as it could be. Many players are leaving my server as there just isn't enough people to support enjoying the game as a whole. I just hope it happens sooner before I become one of them.

I really enjoyed the game, you could pay to play or you can just grind away to grow in power. As a new server either way you played you were good. But since the merger with another server the game is horrible. How can you take a brand new server and merge with an old server? They didn't add rss, map is same size and now the old server is taking over because they had plenty of time to grow.

I would have given it more stars before the update. I've been playing this for about 4 months and I really like it. It's fun to play with an alliance and to build a kingdom. However, the recent update has really ruined the refinery for mining resources. I used to get 15-25 uncommon bronze, ruby, and salt on average and now I get 1-3. It's just annoying to wait 10 hours to refine the materials to get nearly nothing. I know this is a game made to spend money too but those people are also annoyed.

Love the game concept, everything feels right and actually well balanced considering this game is quite young. BUT and I mean very big but, completely unplayable vs. people with a lot of money to dump into it. I understand € shop when it comes to speeding things up and/or cosmetics but the fact you can buy armies and I mean really powerful units makes it really hard to enjoy. I had Keep lvl 20 when I realized how bad it is. So before you decide to play, take this into consideration. Very greedy.

I enjoy the game for the most part. However, it's weird to me that you can lose moral for defending an alliance member just because the attacker is a lower level than you even though they may be twice as strong as my teammate. Shouldn't lose moral for helping! Also, there is a glitch in the trading post where I can't interact with anyone and if I try, a random giant pair of legs appear and I'm unable to do anything other than travel around

I'd like to give this game a higher rating as it has a lot of potential and I've met a lot of great people in the game, but I'm giving it a 1 star review because of the toxic players in the game and the horribly unbalanced combat system. Neither of which the game developers care about fixing. Defenders have zero control over their troops, which allows attackers to stall and exploit the system, and there are a ton of toxic players that are actively trying to make other players quit.

I like the game alot but it's very poorly optimized it feels like. Randomly not being able to do stuff, crashing randomly at times, having to restart to do anything, random lag spikes were the game just freezes. The list goes on but after those kinks get worked out I feel like this could be an amazing game. Would love to see more traits also.

Was a good game, not anymore. They have nerfed it hard. Can no longer recommend. Long term appeal is gone, instead looking at impossible goals. We once played with a feeling of legacy in a community, now i go on to see if the group found a new game to move to. Unfortunately additional content is being added with a pay to play priority that created huge gaps between who buys content and who doesn't. Super expensive. Sad to see, game ender is in market cost that disadvantages free playing too much

I enjoy this game overall. I like that it is punitive to players that attack lower level players. I do think they should lessen the penalty for reinforcing lower might players. I didn't give this game a higher score because once you buy a more expensive bundle the affordable bundles are no longer available. I don't mind supporting app devs for a product I use often but I am unwilling to break the bank.

Have been playing sinc January, well before the game fully released. During this time, I have watched nearly every update make the game more difficult to progress in, until now where it takes nearly a month to gather the time gated resources needed to upgrade a single building in the mid game. Even if this doesn't bother you, there is a buff that permanently doubles all pvp damage and is practically unobtainable unless you spend $150. I can no longer recommend the game.

If you have the unfotune of getting into this beautiful game, understand that your real money and time will be wasted. Another gamer paid more real money than the rest of us for in game power. They began to bully and destroy other players. When you know your work can be undone by someone who wants a quick win, it is less of a game. While the game holds many unique aspects, your time, money, and enjoyment can be wasted quickly by one bad apple.

I enjoyed the game. I really did. But the packages and the pricing I've gotten better value for less money from an mmo. The pricing in this game is absolutely too much for a mobile game. There are zero acceptable excuses for the pricing to this game. Edit: Dev's response is laughable. The average price of a "special" is $67.13. there are troops you can really only get through cash purchase. The game is severely unbalanced in play as it is. There are exploits. No easy means of reporting.

This was the best build and battle type game I played in a while. You could fight with the knowledge that you can recover from loses. You can't be repeatedly farmed for your resources while you sleep. You could realistically hold your own f2p. Then the the changes to multiple elements of the game cumulatively stripped away all joy to be had. If you wanted to play to fight, your about 3 months too late. If you wanted to gather rss, you can, but you won't get anything worthwhile.

I've been playing for alittle over 15 weeks now. It's been a extremely fun time... until the last 3-4 updates.. the game has become extremely pay to win. Resource farming for F2P players has become harder than ever. The in game merchants are nearly unusable ( for some entirely unusable ). I can't take it anymore. A game I play daily has become so hungry for my paychecks that it's become unplayable. No dev responses, the official discord is I'm chaos, the player base is dying waiting for change.

I love this game so much. There are no ads, everything in the game is freely accessible and fairly easy to grind for, but you can still pay to get it faster if you want. The animations are funny, but detailed. There was so much care put into the making of it. That's what I was saying months ago. It's not true anymore. Every update, which seems to happen weekly now, makes it harder to grind, harder to play, and more soul sucking. I loved this game, and now I can't play it.

This game has some very bad mechanics. You can only help 3 players a day with resources. The lower their level the less you can share. If you help defend other players you take massive morale hits. Help one player defend against an attacker 5 levels higher and you can suffer up to 75% reduction in military might and growth for 24 hrs. Then you cannot help anyone, even yourself. The game is designed to allow paying players way too much leverage over non-pay, or limited-pay players. Bad design.

I played for a couple months. The game is fun, but quickly it becomes a grind if attacking the same pve targets over and over again. The server I was on quickly was dying and there were only seemingly a handful of players around my level I could attack. Every update also just seemed to make the game harder and forced longer boring grinds.

Don't bother installing unless you plan on spending hundreds of dollars and can get on at a moments notice at any point of the day everyday. Not even joking. Resources take way too long to get to make the game worth playing without spending cash. Even when you do get enough resources to make progress, other players will steal it from you while you sleep. Game's fun with good ideas, but expect it to consume your life.

Ima be honest, the game has an interesting and humorous style. But I just started it and i already have to constantly reboot the game, due to bugs. For me that's a deal breaker when trying a game for the first time. This review and rating is based on that alone, i can't claim anything else to be at fault because i didn't get that far. All the power to anyone who wants to play it.

They came out with a new update today to allow players to level to 40. They didnt fix the wandering merchants issues and im guessing they never will. They also made it harder to farm camps for the resources you need. I suspect they want the majority of the people to buy it from the game store at $99 per purchase. which will last you for maybe a quarter level. I dont consider myself a whale but i spent over $600 on this game. So expect to spend twice that to level.

It's well put together. Though at a certain point in the game it slows down and there's nothing to keep me on for an extended period of time other than to collect resources and send out a few resource raids. Still more unique than most build and battle games thoug. Especially because you actually get to see your units fighting. The music is pretty dang pleasing as well. It has a low fantasy vibe to it all. For a mobile strategy game there's definitely stuff to appreciate. Art style is one

Great game. I truly feel I'm in an open world strategy game with diplomacy that the players create themselves within the game. There are allot of lag issues, and I have a very good device with the graphics settings turn all the way down in the game. There is no tutorial at all. You basically have to discover strategies on your own and with the help of the community. Also there should be an upgrade system for lower tier troops to be upgraded to higher tier troops, but despite that I love it.

You can be attacked by the same player who is much stronger multiple times per day. There's a Block function but it doesn't stop them from attacking you. Makes it harder to build your kingdom. Takes the fun out of the game. Edit: maybe you need to change it so a player can't attack the same player constantly because your "penalty" obviously doesn't work. Do you guys learn from these reviews?

I like the game, really, but you can definitely 100% just buy the best troops directly out of the shop and just steamroll the whole server. It doesn't really bother me as much, as you don't lose much when you get attacked, but im sure it's very annoying for some. So if you don't enjoy that type of game, look elsewhere. There's morale penalties for attacking lower targets but you can buy morale in the shop, too...so. y'know.

I dropped my rating from a 5 to a 2 and this is why there's a lot of issues in this game and I know there's no perfect game out there but I love these types of games so that's why I chose this game. I got my keep as far as level 11 and tragically got bored with the game 1 serious issue I have is when you get attacked by a larger enemy or any enemy for that matter you can't do a counter attack on the enemy and there's no way to track them down you just see who killed your soldiers. Sadly Done.

Is a good game. The devs response to review. More Suggestion: Add orc armies that attack the players every month. Maybe like every six hours gap so all timezone player can participate. The higher the player level, the more wave they receive. Keeps the higher players engaged. Add formation styles you can unlock to your troops, and army vs army mode.

This game is fun, that being said, it has some serious problems that need fixing. For example, sometimes when you need to "find x person" in a dungeon, the mission won't complete. A second problem is the army commanding system. In short, it's not good. If you could command your troops to attack certain targets, instead of them just running around like idiots. The troops suddenly swapping off of important targets is what causes me to lose battles, every loss is because the poor command system.

This game has a lot of good and new aspect, for example you can make your own characters. But as we all know these kinda games are pay2win . But in this game it's worse. You can get extremely powerful buffs by buying gold and use it to complete some game breaking technologies in academy. Which free for all players can never reach that and make the competition totally impossible. So if you don't pay, you can't play.

Here are some things that I dont like. 1 - I've almost 85 workers but i don't know where the hell they are busy? So there should be view to tell us where are our workers. 2 - UI is not very impressive sometimes we have to click 2 times to see if it worked or not. 3 - After Dungeon is explored the waiting time of 8 hours is too long for a small dungeon , it should be around 30 minutes. 4 - Alliances are not very interactive. Except All these the Game is fine so i'll give 3 stars.

If you want a game where AI fight with more than a IQ of 2 don't play. You can wreck 5 armies and have blown down all the walls all your troops will walk past the castle to fight non engaged enemies. Makes no sense why AI all target units even when your men are less than archer range to the castle. AI needs some real work or give they player control of targeting for units

This game had potential, but a dismissive and condescending customer support killed it for me when added to the never-ending and recently expanding bug issues. It seems to be a lottery system when you attempt to buy a bundle (purchase one bundle, receive another, and get told that you are stuck with what you received.) Honestly, if it were not for one or two good ppl I met in game, I'd have deleted it already. Even with them I doubt I'll keep playing much longer.

As I've got into the game more. There are good points and bad points about the gameplay. I like the negative morale bonus you get when attacking smaller players ad I think it is a good deterrent and will come into play more as you proceed. HOWEVER when you get nerfed for DEFENDING a small player from an overpowered attack say 5m power attacks a 1m power player so you feel sorry for them and go defend them and you lose 30% morale for 24 hours for doing the honourable thing..this needs changing.

In the world of mobile games, where most of them are horrible, this game is refreshing. You get the regular base building mobile strategy, but with much more depth added to the game through the nobles and some other aspects. Main questline has really witty dialogue, and the game seems to be balanced enough. Although the one thing you could improve is the battle system, you have almost no power once the battle starts. Adding a bit of tactics to the game would be good.

I like the game, the story and the art style. It's really fun, when it works that is; opening the game is a hit or miss for me, sometimes it'll work, but often it'll be just stuck loading for what feels like hours. My internet is fine, my phone is capable of handling the game. No idea what causes the problem. Update #2 : it took me reinstalling the game twice, and losing my progress, but it works now.

Now they have added a new feature! Ads that appear in your face multiple times during normal gameplay. They butchered the games f2p and are promoting more sales for p2w. Their store practices are also unethical and immoral, packed starting around 6.50CAD AND I've seen as high as 125CAD. It's pay to win and have an advantage over others. They sell damage and speed boosts for hecks sake! Avoid at all costs unless you want to spend money to succeed. They continue to not patch issue, only more sales

This game still has a ways to go but is awesome. You choose whether you want to just wait for upgrades or spend your time directing your armies. The players are great to talk to and the chat system, though minimalistic, gives a sense of community. It still feels largely unfinished, though. Some buildings and actions are missing from the game even though they are mentioned in descriptions. (Bribe, refinery) Also, there are some basic quality of life improvements that need to be added.

Could be good but.... It's very very slow paced with a lot of loading screens. It's definitely the game itself that's slow as my game is very choppy even on a S22 Ultra. Could be a really cute game except that you can only upgrade 1 building at a time, only 1 research at the time which is very time consuming. Not to mention that the minutes it takes for your troops to arrive at the Battle and to then have to manually select to begin the battle (another loading screen).

I'm liking that it doesn't take itself too seriously. I don't really play mobile games either. I saw it amongst one of many YouTube ads and decided to give this one a try. I'm even tempted to spend a little money if they are able to make it even more immersive like Sims or CK games(No it's NOT PAY to WIN). Overall I'd recommend at least checking it out, and keep in mind it's a fairly new game as well. As long as it continues to get good updates am sure it will do well. They even have a discord.

makers need to research other similar games to get an idea of how to make this game better, it is a fun game and has great potential but one farm one sawmill and one stone mill is not enough, you can't research anything because u dont have enough resources. There should be another constrution slot as there is too much upgrading that takes too long that has to be done. change some of this especially the more resource part and I bet you will get more players, and more people spending money.

Not P2W as much compared to other kingdom games! Graphics are beautiful, server is not sweaty, story is fun, and game play and mechanics are great. I just find that I can't move my armies to different places and make them in certain formations. Eh, game is simple enough compared to other online rts games I played. Though simple, still has some challenge. Imagine this game be Everdale meets....mmm...ROK but without sweats and interesting story.

I was having fun with this game yesterday. It has elements of different games and a bit of humor which is pretty nice and sets a good tone for mechanics we have seen before. I like the customization options up to now. My issue is that I can't login to the app anymore for some reason. Kinda sad because I really was enjoying this game.

So many really fun elements to this game. One of the most fun I've played in awhile, at first. Unfortunately there are crucial supplies you'll need in game that can only be gathered at sources where you need to pvp with players ten times your strength. To get to their level? You need to get those resources. This is where spending lots of money nets you the result you need. I've spent quite a bit, and I'm still far behind. Scopely being Scopely, I guess.

This game unfortunately has the same major flaws as other similar mobile games, most of your time is spent upgrading everything or waiting for upgrades to complete. Progression and upgrade trees are locked behind ever increasing wait times, which are designed to have you spend money to get to the next level where you wait again (even longer) for subsequent levels to unlock. Very little attention was made to the "game" aspects of Kingdom Maker, it's repetitive and shallow.

I have been playing for roughly 3 weeks now and enjoy the game, from creating an army to going and fighting others, I just kinda wish they added two things. When you have a battle you can only see where the battle happened, but you can't find the two keeps that fought. And once you hit keep level 15 it seems like that is when you start hurting for resources. And I wish If you could have an army staged next to another mining that army would automatically support the mining army. Good game tbo

I'm personally not a fan of this type of game so I'm biased against this. I gave it a shot because I read that the traits were genetic and I've been looking for a game that had a similar system. This game did not fit the bill for me, I stuck with it for about 4 days (lvl 10) just to give it a full shot. However, this game just isn't to my taste. Kinda P2W, $shields are too OP. Big cities attacking small ones, kicking them out of areas and stealing family. Got annoying and better games out there.

This is unique to the genre as you can see the battles and reinforce anyone. Still a pay to win though. There isn't much to do besides attack NPC camps and chat. Once you hit a certain level, you have to mine for 3 types of ore to build, train, or advance anything. Mining is automated and takes awhile. Only way to get a spot at a mine is to attack somebody that is done mining and sleeping on it...and sometimes you cant even do that. I've uninstalled.

Great potential, but at the end of the day, this is just another game that greatly caters to higher players "feeding" off those smaller. You can be relentlessly attacked over and over again by players twice your level. No sfae zones after level 10, and it just becomes demoralizing after awhile. I really like the game pre-level 10. After that, prepare to either pay money, or just become food for the whales. I would play again, if more PvE zones were made.

Was fun at first, as a lvl 25 castle I don't see any reason to spend or push anymore to lvl 30. The server population is practically dead after a few weeks, why would I want to be a powerful account in a dead game with zero competition? I have spent thousands in various mobile games, I really liked this one and would have done the same. I stopped myself after a few hundred just seeing there's absolutely nothing to do once you get there. Would happily spend again but no players around and boredom

The content and playability of the game is very good - lots of things to do to keep you busy. Raising a family to run your kingdom is a novel concept and somewhat fun. Now the bad part. This game, like many others similar to it are almost impossible to play once you pass the 'protection' period. You cannot be attacked until you reach level 10, presumably so you can mount suitable defences. Problem is you can be attacked by much higher levels past level 10. All that hard work for nothing...

Updating from my original post. The game is awesome and it's a good time sink, also have met a lot of cool people! The biggest downfall to the game, and the reason I've lowered the review rating and redoing it is because the game is having constant crashes. I have perfect service via cell provider and wifi. It has steadily gotten worse. If they could fix the issues on the creator end it is definitely a 5 star. Yes I can be a pay to win game, but the community and game play is what makes it good

Game is rather boring with not much to do other than battle for mines and other kingdoms. Prices for upgrades and boosters are outrageous. Graphics are rather meh, including battles. And this company uses those fake advertisements for their game that shows features and animations that aren't even in the game. A company that lies in their ads can't be trusted in their game.

Fun to start but once you get to the level of needing to mine for resources, good luck. Higher level players just camp on the mines and if you do manage to get a mine, you just get smashed by someone 5x your level. The developer really needs to make it where an army automatically returns upon mining completion instead of allowing an army to sit at mine doing nothing.

I've enjoyed the game to a level 17 keep, about 1 month of play time, but now I'm stuck. You need uncommon bronze to progress which for me smelting yields 2 per 9 hours. I need 45 to get to the next level and who knows how much after that. Please fix this mechanic/ratio because it's forcing me to want to quit the game and not purchase any more packs. Wouldn't mind a "we're sorry" gift of some uncommon bronze to get to level 18.

Well, my review got deleted, even thought i was mostly positive. The game is great functions well. BUT, the A.I. are way to aggressively locked on enemies. If there was a way to control your units by tapping them or dragging to somewhere on the screen, that would and huge step up. Right now, they practically ignore the Castle and swarm what little forces are left. We arent vikings, storming a castle is a surefire way to get the opposition to surrender. Still, the game is fun.

There are some improvements that need to be made. A search function for enemy camps, mines, etc. That way i can instantly find a camp of a certain level to attack or a mine that's free. A way to upgrade my tier 1 troops into tier 2 and tier 2 into tier 3. That would be amazing. Instant recall on my armies that are mining once full would be great. A way to recall troops that are moving to a location before they get there.. but, loving the game, hope it continues to get better with feedback.

Generic name for a generic app. Nothing different from all the other "buy a million speedup items to lord your power over others" kingdom games. I spent $40 and was hilariously outclassed by people that spent 20 or 50 times that. Speedups are very 2017. Also you get basically infinite resources with any purchase (I had 7 million stone, a house costs 800). This is not a good thing. Why would I even bother PvPing or doing anything else? The real currency in this game is speedups.

A slow game based on "speed-ups" IAP. No obvious way to get to setting (to turn off the anoying music, for one). Oh, did I mention speed-ups! EVEYTHING in the game takes forever, unless you speed it up instantly (IAP). Speed-ups are the worst kind of IAP extortion ever invented and I refuse to buy time added solely for getting me to spend money. It would seem developers don't want you to play for long, but pay an arm and leg for the privilege of 10 minutes a day worth of game time. No thank you!

Downloaded this game to see what this game is all about however, seems that there currently is a major flaw in the gameplay at this time. Started a new "kingdom" (and seeing I am a new player) as it is called and got past the first bit of the story to be completely halted due to a screen saying that I need recourses to progress but all greyed out and when trying to refresh the game or restart, it complains about a server connection issue. Cannot recommend due to this till remedy the matter.

Seems like a fun game with really cool mechanics. First of all you start with 2 characters, the Lord and the Lady. Then u can expand that family and use those characters and give them various roles. It's really cool. But the game has issues with framrates, it lags and heats up my phone. Its not a cheap phone but have a 6gb ram so idk what the issue is. And I cant lower the settings for graphics. So I must say the game aspect is one of the best in this niche of strategy games. Technical stuff,idk

The game is fantastic. I really loved the game, specially the war option in which you could see the actual war happening, not just like any other games out there in which what you could see in their wars were only reports, the number or casualtties and so on without seeing the war in action. I really love the game, however, it is so laggy, it glitches and so on. But anyway, it is bearable. I sincerely wanted this game to have a smottoh gameplay. Anyway it's awesome. Deeply recommended.
