War and Magic: Kingdom Reborn

The game is fleshed out well enough, the graphics are beautiful still frames, and the game is what i enjoy about a mobile game being able to pop in, do my little duties, and pop out with things working in the background. I am impressed up to a point on their microtransactions being favorable towards those who don't pay as well. However, a big problem comes to the combat. First thing most new people will notice is the amount of attacks that can and WILL occur is quick succession. I would be fine with people my level risking their troops to gain a significant amount of my resources except it is never people my level. A new player is a simple, easy, and fairly lucrative investment for a higher level player (about 4 ish levels higher) to make a quick army and demolishing my defences and putting a debuff on my city making it harder to strike or come back from that loss. Second, the game FORCES heroes to defend a city. That is horrible if the intent is to accept the attacks and keep from wasting resources on healing and raising an army. If my hero is not garrisoned he should not lose any troops nor should he garrison himself without my approval. Third problem (this is just my own nit pick) numbers play everything. If your numbers are lower then you WILL lose a fight and i have yet to be proven wrong.

All in all, if you don’t mind spending a little cash and are a patient person, the game can be a great passed time and extremely satisfying. But if you’re an adrenaline junky, and need your action fix, this likely is not the game for you. Strategy is the key. I strongly dislike that the game FORCES you to garrison troops when you are not online, resulting in significant troop loss when you are attacked by anyone at a higher city level than you, which is equivalent to losing time and money in some circumstances (e.g., buying buffs or extra resources to participate in competitions that reward rare soldiers like Dracula or Winged Horses). It’s paramount to forcing someone to be tethered to the game all day, and to react in real time to attacks, which is ludicrous and unfair. DEV team should change this. I enjoy the game and the different competitions as it keeps the game fresh, but be warned that you DO need to spend money to advance and be competitive, otherwise you are wasting your time and you will quit in frustration after being ransacked.

I was having a blast playing doing my own thing. The PvE turn based combat is different but basically comes down to who has more numbers and the free loot scattered around the map for free daily picks ups were fun to get every time I logged on. That was until my 3 day shield ran out and my lvl 8 base was attacked 27 times in the middle of the night by two different lvl 9 bases and I went from almost a mil of bread and wood to 7.8 k bread and 27 wood what the hell kind of game doesn’t give you a shield after being destroyed??? Like the first 3 fights yeah I lost sure but the rest of the 20 were literally him just send troops with high load carry because I had ZERO defense after he killed all my troops. Completely ridiculous

I often get double billed for in app purchases. iTunes has stopped giving me refunds. Which is severely frustrating to say the least. I had to unlink PayPal so they didn’t have access to any of my major accounts. Still makes me super mad. I hate to think of all the money pointlessly taken from me. Customer support is non existent. I’ve had players threaten to kill my children. No way to block. Translation issues not only in chat but in actual gameplay. Concept of game is good and I enjoy. But not worth being robbed over. Definitely a typical pay to win gaming scenario. And you better be willing to double what you pay. A lot of bugs here and there. Again.... reaching out to support is pointless. New maiden feature is a sexist nightmare and really has no place in the game. I know a lot of people that have quit playing and I feel that I will soon as well. Especially after they e taken so much money from me in return for nothing. Ugh!

Not free to play. At all. The developer is only interested in your money with the only way to compete being to spend a fortune. At higher levels the resources required are huge and you have to buy. Trying to raid opponents means you lose troops, which means using resources, and they cost a lot. Thus you can’t collect. You have zero protection against higher level players destroying your entire army. The cost to rebuild is massive ...and requires money..,spending options will pop up instantly of course. It looks nice, is complex and updated regularly, but you must spend thousands of dollars to get anywhere near the top. And it’s simply not worth it, as the game will eventually die due to the spend to win only nature of the game. So if you are rich and have time ruling over dead realms of players who quit...enjoy.
