Dawn of Titans: War Strategy

This game looks good and is a lot of fun to play for a few weeks. However, any progression quickly shows you that the entire game is designed around a greedy micro transaction model. The constant changes and update to event structure has increased effort but removed reward in an attempt to force players to spend real money to even be competitive. That coupled with constant crashes, server issues, and shoddy development means even when an exciting roll out takes place it is weeks before things work and often redesigns need to be done to create any semblance of game balance for players. Though the majority of events are simply cash grabs. It’s also important to note that this developer is not responsive to player feedback. The in game relic forging system is dependent on random chance and the percentages shown are very misleading. Players have been begging for a change to this system since the model was introduced, yet developers remain silent. If you want to see the amount of community engagement look at any post on their facebook page. You will see numerous complaints about the same issue for months without a comment from the developers, but hey they will give you a shout out on their live stream if you say something good if that sort of thing matters at all.

When I first saw this game I was like, might as well try another one of these strategy + base building games I'm so addicted too. I watched the first video thing with peaking interest. I started to play the game after that, and began to notice how every aspect of this game is practically perfect. I have never, EVER found a game so detailed and fun, and I can control my army so easily. There are just so many things to do in this game it is almost overwhelming. I know you devs spent tons, and tons of time balancing out the troops, and I want to personally let you know, YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT! There are so many kinds of troops, and ways to use them. I haven't even gotten to the Titans yet. There are so many kinds of Titans to use al, with different skills and things, (I prefer Eris, she is the best!) the relics are also a nice added touch, because it makes you plan out how you have to control your troops, and which kinds to use. Now I don't want to make this too long, but I had to tell everyone how amazing I think this game is, to all the beginners, I know this game can be sort of discouraging at the start, but keep on trying, it will get real fun soon, and think strategically. To the devs, Thank you guys so, so much for giving me this game. Y'all are the best,and this is a real gem of a game. Thanks, From your friendly gamer boi.

This game is a lot of fun I love what they did its not just a copy of all the other strategy games. I'm not even really into strategy games and I like this one. There are some bad things about this game though nothing to do with gameplay. Overpriced in game currency, packages for titans are overpriced. I have been in 2 clans and they both have kicked out everyone but their friends when event was almost up causing me and others to lose out on the event rewards we have worked hard for! I messaged support and asked them if they could change that. How is it fair that punks in the alliances are allowed to rob us of our rewards. There needs to be a system in place to prevent this!! Support hasn't done anything about that. This right here is a huge issue to me and I'm not the only person is happened to. Please put a safeguard in place so they cannot kick us during an event (If we have participated a certain fair amount). Other than those 2 issues...this game can be pretty fun. I like that it shows changes when building and upon completion it actually looks improved. The graphics are beautiful. Just the army needs to be improved but they are almost too small to notice great detail. Really love how different this game is from other similar games. It's beautiful

The game itself is already really great as it is. The gameplay is very tactical and makes you think, the titan concept is quite unique and fun, and although you get bombarded with advertisements to buy gems and premium items, you don’t need to buy them to succeed in the game as long as you know the game mechanics and you are able to apply both basic and advanced tactics. This game really is the thinking man’s action game. My one complaint (and the reason why this is 4 stars instead of 5) is because there is very little PvP. Although you do attack many people’s castles, the defenders of the castles are computer-led, rather than player-led. I have been talking about this issue with some of my friends on the game, and we have a few suggestions to the game developers on how to make the game incorporate more PvP. Our first idea is to incorporate team invasions, where more than one player fights more than one player on the same battlefield, and the commanders of each team must work together in order to achieve victory. Another idea we came up with are tournaments, both individual and team tournaments (using the team invasion idea that I have previously outlined), where there are brackets of single elimination battles, and the top 4 commanders/teams get rewards.

Now it's strictly pay-to-win. I suppose they could wise up and fix this at some point. It's already too late. I've stopped playing since they killed the fun, and as grindy as the game is, there's no way I'm going to waste the time required (again) to get to back where I was (Elite League, and I made it there singlehandedly, too). Plus there's the whole trust issue. If they pulled this on us once, I can't believe they wouldn't do it again. I liked what they sold me, but then they broke it. There's no way to make me feel unviolated here. Future new developers take heed. P.S.-YES!!! This game is no longer in the top 200 free and top-grossing games. Sorry, I just couldn't resist coming back and publicly dancing on such a well-deserved grave! But as this changes the date of my review, I'd like to point out that the game was only a few months old when I originally wrote it. I can only imagine how many times they must've ruined the game between now and the first time for it to have finally come to this! But once you go down Greed Lane and start losing players, the only option left is to squeeze the remaining ones harder and harder. P.P.S.-Also, if you're going to update a formerly glowing review to reflect all the unfortunate changes made to the game, you should also update the number of stars you give it. People want to know how the game is, not was or could have been.
