Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We dont need to use our brain here so we love it.
We like the game but it cost to much, & gold goes like water. Bigger money spender take over and boom you gone. Come on.
Ive got a baby whale 59,000,000 Power with T11 Infantry Ark with King, Dragonslayer, and a War Machine. Maybe one day hell be an S. We play like a collector. F2P Perma Bubble. We only buy 7-day shields in bulk on gold spend events. We wasted 9~ years of accumulated holiday chest for absolutely nothing one day that was sad. Im still playing the game, and still saving away. Stash up on cosmic crystals and we refresh holiday store not past 799 Thats how we farm rss :/ The game is very playable for us, but we cant manage a shield its got to be 500+ hours or Ill trip.
Objective "On Planet Tekkman, you and alien creatures will operate your own space arks and create formidable fleets to confront against the Imperial Federation Government, fighting for living space and rebuilding order." -Ark of War Wiki Hard, Play, Advance- 4 How hard is this game? Is it easy to learn how to play? Does it remain challenging as you advance? This game isn't too hard but it takes a little time learning. Learning is easy because of the things in place in game guiding you along the way. This game remains challenging at every level because there are several things to always get stronger. Overall Gameplay Opinion- 3 What is your overall opinion of the game? Why? This game seems to be an easy game to play and keeps the challenges coming. Combat mechanics is a little confusing could be a little easier to understand how it works by summing it up. Graphics- 2 Evaluate the graphics. Point out any glitches or things out of place. Graphics are basic lots of 2D images plastered on a background. Sound- 1 Evaluate the sound. Sound is basic. Combat sounds are repeated for each unit. Skill sound is a little obnoxious if it constantly triggers. Replay Value- 4 Will this game hold up to repeated replaying? Why / why not? This game may hold up to some replay value as long as things change at a regular basis. Sequel- 1 Is there a sequel in the works? Would you be interested in a possible sequel? We dont think a sequel would be interesting we feel like we dont have a good picture of a story line. Genre Comparisons- 3 How does this game compare to other games in the same genre? We havent played too many of this type of games but to us it looks like a copy and paste job with the exception of one feature. That is to move around the map. Type of Gamer- 3 What type of gamer would be interested in this game? A gamer of this type of game might like the social aspect. Overall Rating- 21/40 The overall current rating Im giving is a C. Some remarks we have is the feature to move about the map we think that is an interesting element. The combat system is basic but has some confusing mechanics that could be summed up or explained differently. Since we didnt leave a place to talk about a story Ill leave it here to say the story is almost nonexistent.
So a new server started about a month and a half ago and its made up of all different kinds of people. Americans, Russians, Chinese and plenty more! But what we dont understand is why others have to pay more or WAY less than others for packs! Chinese pay nearly 10% what Americans do, and Russians pay more! Why is this? Makes the game unfair when a 100$ pack is only worth 10$ to the other players. Makes the game no fun and makes people quit the game. Gave it 2 stars just because we still like it just rather not play with anyone else.
We used to play this game when we were younger, didnt really understand it, now, we redownloaded the game, after 3~5 years, but we realized we couldnt start fresh, new server, or new account. The servers are all old and non-migratable, very nice game.
As the title says the progression in this game is very fun and rewarding, it really gives you a sense that youre moving forward.
Love the game its amazing fully encapsulating game.
Toxic player base that farms new players for resources as they cant defend themselves. You are given generous shield and gold to have fun for 4-5 days, then you get attacked every day before you can get the resources to improve. Would like a 24 hour shield after being attacked (you would be able to break your shield if you want a revenge attack though). Instead, you are stuck with base units because you cant get the resources to improve before getting raided.
We wish that you were able to have data from another sever.
Ill first off say that we absolutely adore this games commanders and gameplay, it is one of our favorite strategy games that Ive olayed and started over at least 3 times, we love all of the ships, but it feels like some of the commanders you get are just blank or consistently overpowered by the meta (which we get, thats an issue with most games even big game designers such as Ubisoft struggle with balancing) however the issue lies within the fact that if you are a new player.. Unless the bigger guilds mercy you, you WILL NOT PROGRESS, unless you spend a ton of money to boost yourself up which brings up the MAJOR issue with this game, our server eventually merged, and one guy named IGGY, solo destroyed our entire guild, he had soent well over 1000$ on the game and was open about it, he power leveled himself with money, and to us that kills it, burn our ship by being better, not by having a bigger wallet.
We played this game for a while back when it came out and the game has really developed Im enjoying coming back to the game and it has a ton more to offer.
Pay to win game nothing more to say.
Game is nothing like the commercial. Disappointing. We wish they would stop doing that.
We think we may have found a bug, when we were doing the tutorial and it told us to press the research button, the yellow square that is usually surrounding it is now off center and we are not able to press anything. It did that when we were clicking fast through the tutorial since it doesnt really matter where you had to clicked when doing the tutorial.
Ive been playing this game for well over two years now, and Ive had it and Im going to quit playing it! You guys need to make sure when a player clicks on a button to use gold, it should ask are you sure! We want our 2000 gold from just now, and 3 weeks ago, we lost 7000 gold in the recruiting center! It need to ask are you sure before putting the transaction through! Please refund our gold, or Im done!! :(.
We enjoyed the game for sometime then we wanted to play with our girlfriend. We live together and naturally use the same internet service, IP address. After she joined we invested more time and money in the game. However, randomly a few months later. Developer banned our accounts. For over a few weeks we tried to explain to them we are two different people using same IP address. We sent them our personal information associated with each apple ID and receipt. However customer service continues to recite generic line of no multiple accounts are allowed and system banned the accounts and they can not be unbanned. Months worth of working on the account and building vanished. The game has limited protection shield on and that expired long time since they banned us over a week ago. Our friends in the game told us our accounts were sacked already by other players since we were unable to log in all this time and all work and money we spend building up the accounts is gone. Terrible terrible experience. Waste of time and money with no real customer service on the other end to help.
This game has an exploit of a magnitude we have never seen or heard of in any game we have ever played. Should be insta-ban. CS, not only do not follow their TOS; They refuse to. Wife had heart attack, we were inactive for approximately a week. Log on to find our guild Stolen, gone oh yeah we are the guild leader. The guild that took thousands of hours as well as dollars to build was stolen and CS says not our problem. Guild name (TGB) Ghost Battalion. Thief changed name to (GER) Ghost Battalion ,Thief handle name is NYXv. We are pressing criminal charges as well as filing lawsuit. Our guild isnt the only guild he has stolen and looted. And 7 pirates doesnt care. Refuses to do anything. Please do not support or play this game or any 7Pirates games.
This is directly out of their Tes of Service. If you are caught talling about the Chinese government, in a manner they consider inappropriate, they'll ban your account. Content: Recently, we found some players publish illegal speech related to politics, which have caused adverse effects and damaged the game environment, also have effected the game's normal operation. After verification, we have quickly taken measures and have banned the account in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct in the 7 Pirates Games Terms of Service. In order to maintain the game environment and protect the common interests of all players in Ark of War, we will keep optimizing and strengthening the management of the game. And we will take measures not limited to ban account once we find any illegal actions. From now on, we will continue to implement the management rules strictly and optimize the in-game communication atmosphere. So players are required to speak in a civilized manner. We shall make joint effort to maintain a harmonious and healthy game environment. We appreciate all of your understanding and support.
So the game is fun. Feels like youre the commander of a space fleet, amazing 9.5/10 almost perfect score! We think the only improvement for us currently is we wish for certain things we got deeper lore. Units, captains, etc.
Games 100% pay to win so if you dont plan on dropping $100 a week dont waste your time and an even bigger waste of time is trying to get the devs to even lift their finger to do ANYTHING for you even if the games at fault not you.
Game for CASHERS ONLY!!!! F uck this game and F uck th Devs.
We spent a lot of money on the game, $500. We bought a 7 day shield. On the 3rd day we lost our phone. Went got a new phone. Was back into the game bye the fourth day. Tried to buy another 7 day bubble. Was sending us a message on screen in red to contact customer service. Took customer service 4 days to contact us back and another day. (5 days) total. To finally be able to buy again. Lost everything we purchased, ask for compensation and was told we should of bought a bubble. No joke we couldnt. We wouldnt play this game. There money grubbers.
We wanted to like this game but its managed really poorly. Customer service cant even solve the smallest of problems. The developers dont do a very good job of balancing gameplay, so unless youre into spending large amounts of money, this game is a no-go.
Do not play any game created by 7 Pirates. Money hungry company that does not care about the players. Please stay away.
We were unable to progress in the game because we kept having our resources plundered by players 20 times stronger than we were. There was no point in trying. Basically was being forced into spending more on the game than we were willing to put in. Opted to delete the game and move on.
Basically another weak base building mobile game not worth anything.
This game was fun to play until they started jamming server after server together causing the game to glitch in numerous ways. Once a glitch was punted out the devs failed to remedy and make right losses. This was especially frustrating since their explanation of why it happened changed multiple times and the tried to make it seem like user error. This was not the case, dont waste your time on a dying game with horrible support.
Very costly game to play. And then if you encounter any issues you will receiver next to zero help from their support team. You rarely get replys from their support team. And when you do you will only get a run around. Our brother has not being able to log in and get the game app to open. Support told us to have him download and open the app. Guess they didnt read when we said the app would not open.
Just posted an angry review. The account is back but still bloody angry. Had to delete and redownload.
Its actually an exceptionally good game. Constantly updating and adding new things. Plenty to do if pvp is too tough, it will be. Will definitely cost you money to play and you will never get to anywhere near the top but if you are smart and spend wisely it can be a lot of fun.
Somewhat entertaining game with Lousy developers that ban accounts without warning using their system. Bans based on suspicion for just using game functions as intended. The support option is just a group of 3rd party apologists.
The developers of this game, recently programmed the game to move your fort without your permission. We have been a supporter of this game since 2019 and our fort was never moved. Recently we were playing and our fort was moved twice ; this is proof that the developers go into the game and manipulate the game to accommodate their agenda. Be aware. This game is $$$$$$$. We canceled our subscription.
Ive been playing this games for 5-6 years now. There are lots of games coming out now with the same system but this one is the original one. Those who said this game is a pay to win; either not playing it long enough or they just like an easy game to spend time on. We are a 40 y.o gamer sine Atari console came out. This game is one of the most addictive games ever if you manage to play it long enough. Its full of tricks and needs lots of time to explore and mastering it also there is no specific hint system or advisor to guide you. Despite what some says your progress is strongly depends on how much time and effort you put to this game and how smart you are. Spending money wont helps that much unless you willing to spend CRAZY HUGE , amount of money..also having a good guild is mandatory. IT IS NOT A we AM A LONE WOLF GAME! Do not bother download it if are not a team player.
We saw this game and the ad looked so much fun and we installed the game to play it and it was nothing like the ad and we were just disappointed.
Game is great tell your shield goes then they want you to spend money to keep it up if you ever want a chance to build up every time we heal our troops they get wiped out and with all the attacks you never have resources to build up or upgrade ark.
If you are wanting to jump into a game that has been out for awhile, this is not the game to do it. Only way to survive is to go into a top Guild which you can only find if they are advertise recruitment otherwise you have to wait until you are able to see leaderboard which is not available until level 9 or 10. And once you reach level 10 it is impossible to gain resources other than attacking other players but at this point you will be attacked by higher players because they also need resources and most likely have a kill event which story missions also require you to attack other players and again at this point you are stuck attacking lower levels because it is way too expensive for higher level research for the better troops. Not fun at all unless you enjoy being attacked all the time or living in a bubble and not participating in anything that makes the game fun.
Great game to pass the time with friends.
Tried getting into this game a couple of times, and every time we do, we get completely wiped by a stronger player, or stronger guild. But the real reason for the 1 star, which we feel is to many stars to begin with, is the fact that the developers of this game make ads for the game that look nothing like the actual game itself. Stealing concept art from other resources, and claiming to be their own. To anyone reading this, dont waste your time with this game, thank you.
Have played quite a few of these including the plarium games its one of the best.
They make it as if its a first person game but its another cheap built and ran game, never trust these advertising such a simple game.
We needed another game like this, these kinds of games are great.
New players come in and spend thousands of $$$$ go max out their ships then dominate every planet and every player that can not afford that kind of money. New players are not always new players they are mostly rich players that have spent the money to max out there ships and own the planet so they start a second or third account to do the same on multiple planets. As a small player, there is no way to jump to new planted to get away from the players that have paid to max out the ships. The programmers mix up games by justifying server merging. That miss matches week players that just started to planets that already have deep pocket dominate players and the only way to play is a shield 365 days a year.
Any ads you see are fake. Im sure im going to get a copy and pasted reply.
The best CS in any IOS game we have played. We had an account with a 21 Ark and 28m power. One morning we opened the game and our account started a new game. We thought we had corrupted our account and we did not want to loose all we had invested in the game. Customer service had a fix. In the beginner Ark we opened the window that list all worlds. We tapped the world our account level 21 Ark was in, then selected more options, then selected to go that world, and the level 21 Ark came back without losing any achievements.
Worst game on the net. Weaker(newer) players are resource farms for stronger(older) players. You must have gold to be able to advance.
An activate VIP is an automatic no for us. We will not pay for gold to activate VIP when it should be free. Ill find another game with free VIP.
The screenshots on the app store page are very misleading and not representative of the actual game. The introductory gameplay can be played by tapping anywhere on the screen.
Misleading adds game looks nothing like the adds.
This is intellectual property theft. These images are of ships from Cloud Imperial Games: Star Citizen. We see an ARGO Mole and Constellation Andromeda right off the bat. We sent screenshots to CIG with this companies information and a recording of one of their advertisements containing suggestive game footage with one of their ships.
