Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game has great graphics and we love it but the adds are always popping up on our screen when we are open ing a ritual. The animations are spot on we love the game, but the adds drive us nuts.
Theres no other game like it. We like the fact you can steal the title of king of thieves. Its very unique and too addictive to be real. Many thanks to the people who helped make king of thieves possible Love- original us :).
We love the game, its got great aesthetics, and is awesome for keeping your fingers busy.
We love this game since we were a kid.
This game will probably get better as we play but yeah its very good. There are like a few things that people might not necessarily like but its a good game so we dont really care if so. Im assuming when you responded to that September 11th thing and then fixed it after. Guys down resist downloading this game! Its uhm cool.
This game is very nice, its like clash of clans where people can steal from you and you can steal from others. We think you should advertise that more in your ads.
We hate them why do we have to pay to get rid of ads when they werent even in the game originally.
Really good game just wish there were more things to do.
The contents of the game itself is really good. Its pretty ad heavy though, and can freeze the game. Making you have to reset the game, having watching the ad be pointless and a waste of time.
We used to play KOT every day for a long while. We loved it. Leveling and grinding for gems and spending hours for the best defense one could muster. But something changed in the recent years. When you start the game, 7 pop-ups immediately take up your UI. And you have to X out of each individual one in order to just get to your base. It is the most frustrating thing that has been added to the game. It ruined it for us. We think more people would get back into KOT if they were able to actually play the game when it loads, instead of being boarded with several pop ups that no one cares about.
Instead of just getting to the chest twice to save your dungeon, how about it just saves immediately.
We love playing this game, but you should add a feature where if a player hasnt been online for a week, you can sneak attack them, and if there is an ongoing ritual, you will guaranteed get a gem.
Listen, this is a great game, we really appreciate how for the most part it has stayed the same as when we were a kidvery nostalgic. But we REALLY dislike how all of the little side quest things, keep popping up in your face, like if Im interested in what thats about Ill click on the icon. We wish they would change that, that is literally the only reason we have taken such a long break from it, we just cant handle it, it gets annoying really fast. So to the game developers, PLEASE change that.
Zepto labs! Why would you sell this masterpiece! It was greater than all cut the rope games combined! Accept for the magic one of course, there is no way Im playing this unti- oh! New updates! Never mind, keep doing what your doing.
Our friends. We never rate games. However, this game this game changes that. This game has forever altered the course of our life. We are grateful to the creators of this wonderful masterpiece for making such an engaging, refreshing experience.
Played when we were younger. Made a new account and what would think? We still love the game even after losing our account.
We used to play this game all the time when we were younger so the fact that it still feels like the same game is so amazing for us and super nostalgic.
We really enjoy the game but we cant play for longer than 5 mins before it start playing the loading animation! When we reload the game it just wont let us in and keeps us on the title page.
When we finish raiding a dungeon the game will crash as its spinning for the gem and then ill lose our winnings as well as any keys we put in. We often have to close and reopen the app. Super annoying.
Ads= restarting game but still playable.
Look the game is fun and we remember growing up playing it and it hasnt changed too much which is good but the anti cheat is terrible and cheaters never get banned they have impossible dungeons and dont die to any trap so the constantly steal our good gems which we can never get back.
Seems too oriented around paying money.
Its a fun game that you can get ur rank up and up and be a rlly good thief. Lots of elements and kind of complex for younger players.
Not only do you get really good rewards you have to go on a quest to become the best thief ever.
Player ID: J44VD4B3 Time: 3:50 AM, July 14, New York Time our TOTEM REVIVAL triggers the animation after the TOTEM is consumed, but Im absolutely certainId bet on itthat our totem does not actually revive. We dont have a recording, as who records their screen while casually playing a game? Ive submitted a review in the Apple Store, but it hasnt appeared in the latest reviews yet. We thought it would be processed soon, but after waiting for days, we dont know if our message has been responded to, so we have to send it again. Im extremely frustrated, as this is ruining our gameplay experience. Additionally, contacting your customer service is incredibly difficultthe page just keeps loading when we click the top-right corner. Is this because our level is too low, but our score is too high, causing our TOTEM REVIVAL to be deliberately disabled? This feels unfair, especially since Ive invested significant time in the game. Return our TOTEM REVIVAL!!! Im considering quitting altogether if this persists. Please investigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible, or let us know how we can provide further details to help diagnose the problem. We just want to enjoy the game with the resources Im entitled to. Thank you.
Love this game but theres just one problem, sometimes when we watch an ad and we get back to the game Im not able to click anything this doesnt happen all the time, but it is pretty annoying when it does. But still awesome game.
Childhood game simple and fun its awesome dude it needs more love.
Fun and active puzzle game. Premium 30 day ads free doesnt work. You pay for it but still get the after combat ads.
Less microtransactions is always better.
The gameplay is there we could go hours stealing from others dungeons theres a lot of progress to achieve in this game the only downsides Ive seen is bugs here and there we also bought a 5$ pack first thing Ive bought on a game in awhile it was the remove ads bundle and it did not do that we still get ad pop ups here and there overall good game.
There are simply too many forced ads between attacks for the game to be fun In addition, sometimes the ad bugs out and kicks you from the game which is even more annoying.
Love this game, Ive been playing it ever since it came out.
We joined early. Built a base that could basically not be beaten. Lols for a while, especially when they fixed the mechanics, which made our base unbeatable without removing traps n stuff. We think this game is fun though. Just redownloaded and want to play it honest! If YOU cant beat your own thing, (we think twice in a row) then you cant save it for others to try. We LOVE that mechanic. If you like platforming and wanna challenge yourself and others, this is worth a look at the very least! Try it.
There is way to many ads it kinda ruins it.
We have played this game on and off for about a decade now and this is the first time experiencing these glitches its overall a fun game and we appreciate the minute changes throughout time so you can still have your nostalgia wail also an enjoyable game we hope these glitches get fixed soon we do appreciate and enjoy this game but if you cant play it and then theres no point of having it or it around (5/21/25).
So much going on for such a simple looking game. Been playing for 6 months, n we love designing layouts for our dungeons. Join the DC.
Its a good game. The predatory micro transactions are a red flag but are unfortunately the norm nowadays. We think Im the only one who has just started, its really really easy to tell that all of the other players we steal from are bots as they use a set of traps for the second dungeon that literally doesnt exist. Edit: we found some real people to invade and also realized we forgot about random traps. Still beware the predatory micro transactions. Also no one can beat our defense mwahaha.
Its a good game but we see people saying dont buy the ad blocker cuz you still receive ads and every ad we get we have to keep reopening the game because our game freezes.
Im just tryna play the game bro and im constantly getting ads and in game purchases thrown in our face.
Overall amazing game but one annoyingly thing is that sometimes after an ad we none of our taps do anything so we have to close the tab and re open it to continue what we were doing please fix this.
Ive been playing this game for years and love it. Only complaint is that sometimes after an ad, our game softlocks and we have to refresh the game which is very annoying. Other than that, awesome.
This game is great. The style is great. The animation is great. The atmosphere is great. However beware of predatory microtransactions. There is an offer in the game to pay $5 for some in game loot and for no ads, HOWEVER even after paying for no ads, you will still receive ads. If you planned on paying the $5 for no ads, just beware this is a lie and youre better off saving your money.
We love the underlying game, but we genuinely had to quit after we got sick of having to x-out of like ten different pop-ups before we can start the game. Besides that, after you pass a certain level threshold, you get into a whole new bracket of players who have been playing for much longer (we know its an old game) or players who have payed to upgrade their traps to the max level. We were always upgrading traps, but past level 40, everyone has maxed out traps which take incredibly long to get without paying any money or grinding for years. This ruined our experience with the game as we couldnt keep up with the trap level without paying. We wish they found a better system to integrate the high level trap players better.

This game has a simple premise, great concept, and fun base building/raiding loop, but in reality it doesnt play very well. The game actively rewards players for building levels that are annoying to play and waste the attackers time, instead of creative levels that are fun to play and require skill and strategy to solve. This creates a frustrating experience as every level has been min/maxed for pain leaving no sense of accomplishment for struggling through slogs of levels just for a chance to maybe get some progression.
So we had someone new in the guild im in and they were asking for help building their layout. We heard theres already online ones or something. But what if you guys added a way to build layouts to share them with guild mates in game. Like we can build a layout out for his dungeon but he still has to pass it himself and make it. Think it would be fun.
- We dont know how to further spend our coins if we do not join a guild. 2. It would be better if we can get skins and costumes with coins too.
This game is very enjoyable but needs to be fixed, the game crashes sometimes when you watch a video to get rewards.
Fix the situation that sometimes there is no response when pressing the screen after watching the advertisement as soon as possible.
