Rival Kingdoms: Ruination

Was a pretty good game in the beginning, but for over a year now its been a wallet squeezer. They have weekend events to get an additional ancient (which is the centerpiece of this game besides dragons), seems nice right but then you can only use one per battle (so what is the point of having 80+ ancients). Lots of bickering in kingdoms because you literally have to play all weekend to get enough points to get the ancient. Then you get to do it all again a week or so later, super grind. The other kicker is special items come in chests you purchase via cash or gems but there are so many useless items in the chests and they have a higher drop rate than items you want so you spend a lot hoping to get a particular item. Customer service actually told me its based on luck, well good luck getting my funds, already spent enough on this app.

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.

Very good game where you build defenses on your stronghold and use various ancients that can be upgraded to raid other strongholds. Join a kingdom of up to 50 players and compete against other Kingdoms. Provides a lot of interaction with members of your kingdom. The problem is in order to be a top player you can pay thousands (yes thousands) of dollars. They are currently having a 3 day sale. In order to buy the biggest bundle of diamonds, Mithral and rings it costs $100. They have a limit of 5 per player...yes, they limit it to 5 per player because there are people who would drop a couple grand and overly tip the playing field. One kingdom is top in virtually every event. If you are very disciplined you don’t have to spend any money. You will never compete with the top kingdoms or players but you can still have fun. Join a kingdom and give it a try. Just beware of the money pit. Unfortunately I can’t resist trying to buy upgrades even though after working at it 3 years I will never catch the top players. It is always a struggle to keep my spending modest.

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. Anya

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.
