Total War Battles: KINGDOM

I've been playing Clash of Queens, and have tried a few other games like it. This is very different. The best part is, (at least so far) I can build my castles, without the stress of other players attacking me. There's no alliances. The battle strategy is hard. But I just keep trying and sometimes I figure stuff out. My negatives on the game: I wish the "advisor" offered more help. Other than the one "walk through" in the beginning stages of playing.... there's no where else to really get help or ask questions. There is a FAQ in the help under settings, but it's very limited. And without knowing any other players, there's no one to ask. Which brings me to the next negative.... there's no way to connect with other players (that I have found anyway) unless you have friends on Facebook who play too. Which in my case, I don't. This game doesn't offer suggestions, as far as strategy or anything. It's a lot of trial and error. At least it has been for me. But, because there isn't any "rush" to level up in order to protect my castle's, troops, and resources, like in other games, I don't mind. I would say this is not a fast paced game. So patience is necessary. The graphics are great and the music is even nice. :-}

This game is a classic example of how developers capitalize on dopamine to get people addicted to playing video games. This is nothing new. Remember Super Mario Brothers? Developers have just become more savvy. There is virtually no way to progress in this game without using some real money. One need not break the bank but unless you have all the time in the world to collect resources, you aren’t going to progress fast enough, especially since attention spans are so small these days. How much real money should you spend? I’m not into telling people what they should do so do what YOU want and what is reasonable within your budget. This game is a marathon not a sprint. There are plenty of huge egos in the gaming world and addiction is rampant. No need to go bankrupt playing video games. My suggestions: Spend money on developing blacksmiths, taverns, sheep, cattle, farms, and quarry and fishing areas which will give you a steady flow of income. Then start developing your troops so that you can start winning battles and get more resources. Avoid trying to build too many walls and aesthetics since nobody really cares what your town looks like. Avoid greed and sloth and you’ll do fine. 😎

I have been looking around for unique new games and this is definitely one of my favorites! It allows you to build your castles however and where ever you want, gather resources wherever and however you want, fight whenever and however you want it’s basically completely up to you. You can even raise and lower the ground and change the flow or rivers to better grow your crops and there seasons each with its own pros and cons. I haven’t seen a game like this and I’ve been loving it! It’s not fast paced and doesn’t require any purchases to progress unless you just want to speed it up. I have made it to all 6 areas and I haven’t spent any real money so it’s very possible to be good at this game without paying. I would suggest this game to anybody who wants a strategy game that you can control more of! My only request would be to add more areas!

I know how some people really enjoy difficult games that challenge your mind and such. I personally love these kind of games, but this game is a little TOO difficult. I absolutely love everything about it except for the fact that missions become impossible to beat after you reached level 20 or so. I don't play duels anymore because the generator puts me up against people who already have the best troops of every class while I'm still using swordmen and basic archers. The missions were pretty balanced as far as difficulty up until I reached level 20 or so. Then I wasn't even able to win in easy-labeled missions. If the devs could tone the difficulty of the ai down and fix the duel generator, I have absolutely no problem with rating a 5 star. Every other aspect of the game is amazing. But until the previously stated problems are fixed, this rating remains 3 stars.

I have played and loved almost all of the Total War games. But this game is the exception. I have spent way to much real money on this game and in order to advance I will need to buy more gold. I have given this game over a month and building and fighting is some what fun until you stop paying for gold. Most "in game purchase" games allows you to advance, all be it slow, with out paying or just paying every now and then but this game dose not follow that philosophy. The biggest draw, for me, to the total war games are the massive battles and the ability of the player to use real to life battle tactics. To read about Roman history and use what you learned on the virtual battlefield. But this waste of time and money has very little to NO strategy in the battles and the building portion of the game offers nothing more than any other game. If you want to pay over $100 to an app on your phone that has nothing new to offer and absolutely no strategy in battle than this game is for you. If that scenario is not applying to you I would suggest you skip this game.
