Good grinding game. A lot of aspects to explore or ignore if you choose.
Enjoy the game this game mor than we thought we would. Enjoy the people in our guild way more. Play lightly or with strategy. Yes there are bullies but kindness reins in realm 7. See you there Karetaker.
This game is awesome, but you get a bunch of gems, and most of the time if it is short enough, it will be free, otherwise you have to speed up the time. Otherwise, yeah great game. Not the best we’ve ever played, but still Awesome. We encourage you to play this amazing game!
The Good: This is legitimately a good game. Despite what other reviews claim, free to play players can have powerful accounts. Most leader gear is F2P, and theres only 1 example of an item thats clearly better than its f2p counterpart. Through PvP you can get several hundred gems a day without having to grind for hours (theres an auto-battle function). Getting 3rd Tier troops really isnt a chore, and even for 200m Might players they are still the staples used to attack with. What spenders have mostly is the ability to bounce back from being hit, but they are not invincible. The Bad: Basically the less you spend in cash, the more time you will spend playing to make up for it, if you want to be an impact player. You also must join a guild with at least a couple large players or you will be at risk for being repeatedly farmed. If you get in a situation where you get hit daily then growing is impossible. The F2P hard cap is lvl21 HQ because after that you need dragonstones, it is possible to get the gems for keystones but the price for dragonstones are outlandish (2k vs 30k). We know of only 1 player who has gotten lvl24 HQ (max level) and is F2P, and he is a top 15 pvp player. The Ugly: There are too many realms and too little support from Ember. Ember may have opened new realms because their servers could not handle it (theres severe lag at the start of events, and just in general – sometimes the map doesnt load for about 30 seconds), but this resulted in older realms being cut off from new players. Its not that 100% of new players are pushed to realm 7, but its seemingly over 50% – which leaves realms 1-6 high and dry. So what you see is what you get, and when players quit in realms 1-6 they arent replaced. To revitalize the game Ember must merge realms. They are seemingly unwilling or unable to do this, so the game will die. There are not enough new players joining the game to replace old ones. Having 7 realms amplifies the issue.
The game was fun until your targeted for destruction. Very easy to spend money. Would have given it 5 stars if the developers expanded on the world they created. Right now the game is self sustaining itself and requires constant surveillance to keep the enemy at bay. Last but not least you would think raising dragons would be the most powerful in game since Dragon is in the name, but no. Defenses are a joke and its almost like they want you to get curb stomped to force you to buy speed ups.
Another Ember screw up. Most weekend events have server outages. Today is another one. Easy to see why people are filing complaints and getting their money refunded. Also, definitely not a kid friendly game. Has a fun interface and there is always something to do or attack, by the language in realm chat is off putting. From homophobic slurs to sexual talk, degrading talk to others is ruining the game. The developer seems to not care. If you report anyone for blatant offending talk, they dont even respond. We understand its a war game, but the rating should be changed to reflect what the developer allows. Its a shame in a time where everyone comes under fire for much less, ember doesnt seem to care about issues far worse being said. Sad commentary on the developer and the only reason the game lost two stars in our opinion.
Our game keeps freezing and we cant finish our pvp fights.
This game is dying. In game support is non-existent, there hasnt been an update in months, the lag makes kill events unbearable, Ember has stopped sending realm news… Obviously they are working on another project. It had potential when we thought they were working on issues, but its an ignored garden full of weeds and bugs! The realms are rapidly dying, evident in lack of participation in events. Bullies pay to get stronger, new players are run off… At least open the realms so those of us who enjoy the people can play out our final levels in the shadow of what this game might have been.
Playing game 10 min ago game starts flashing then goes to a black screen ,, help please ,, been hours still can not play loads up a black screen says welcome then stays black.
Im going to be completely honest: now is not the time for you to start playing this game. And thats a shame, because it has so much more potential than Ember has given it. The mechanics of pvp, adventure and troop fights on the map are fantastic. The monster hunting is fun. Even grinding for items is an enjoyable experience we’ve been playing this game for about a year now, and have spent upwards of $700 just to remain competitive with most of the midsize players. It is 100% factually impossible to compete at a high level if you are not going to spend tons of money. Heres a list of purchases you will have to make if you want to have any fun here competing with everyone else. Please note that the game will say you dont HAVE to buy these – but if you dont, you will be disadvantaged against other players because there is NO FREE EQUIVALENT to the paid hero stats, and youll find yourself facing wait times of 12 weeks to make a single upgrade. 1) Tekao ($15) 2) Gnar ($15) 3) Fendrel ($15) 4) Starting gem packs ($30 total) 5) VIP Casino pass ($50) 6) Casino packs ($9.99/week) 7) Teleport pack ($9.99/week) 8) 30 Day 2nd builder ($9.99) 9) 30 Day 2nd trainer ($9.99) Since we began playing, the lag has gotten worse. Now its nigh unplayable. Customer support is dwindling (a consensus felt among players of all 7 servers) and gameplay updates have ground to a complete and total halt. Rather than reinvigorate their player base by combining servers and creating fun new conflicts for everyone, this company is instead constantly opening new servers so that the top 200 spenders can keep playing against each others wallets in an endless loop. New players only populate inside the newest server – meaning once they open one, your population is officially walled off and stagnant. As soon as someone in your server spends their way to 200mil might, theyre basically an unkillable god unless you can spend the same amount of money they did. This is probably the saddest game review we’ve ever written. This game has a diehard community inside it that LOVES to play – and theyre all about to leave in droves. Dont download unless youve got nothing to do and at least $150 to spend.
It has been roughly a year since the developer, Ember Entertainment, appeared to abandon this game. Symptoms of neglect include: A near-total lack of in-game events, previously frequent A total absence of communication to the players No updates, not even minor bug fixes Failure to respond to player reports of account problems A steady decline in player population, compounded by failure to consolidate near-empty servers or make any effort to attract new players. This is a bit of a shame, as the game itself is above average for the genre, with several distinctive features. However, for all the attention Ember is giving the game, you could not tell that the company is still in business.
Ember is the worst game developer in the industry. The reason we give at least 2 stars is that we love the game & the people who play, it is a family atmosphere with lots of joking & conversation. The problem is the horrid treatment we receive from support. We send constant requests for maintenance- most of which go unanswered, or we get conflicting responses (none of which worked). The game crashes at critical moments causing people to lose everything- there is minimal compensation provided & there have been no updates or new content since spring (seriously we still have to look at the spring ahead package). Most of us have decided to boycott future spending until Ember does something to restore the losses of people due to their server crashing, perform regular maintenance & provide new content to show us that there is some sort of investment in the future of this game. Sadly, that is not likely to happen.
Enjoyed graphics and general game play at first. Similar to most MMOs, high spend required to move beyond basic level. Groups quickly forming to run out new players and cyber bullying rampant. There is no way to protect assets that would allow you to advance, for more than a few hours. People outside the top guilds quickly become farms for others. A few high spend players become so dominant because you cant effectively team up on them, and with little defensive choices, its tough to enjoy. Last update was months ago and server downtime is prevalent. No realm v realm play makes it a tired cycle on a limited board. Doesnt look like they will be upgrading the game and have moved on to other projects outside basic support.
The game itself while enjoyable has serious lag issues that will get your army destroyed while you close the app and reopen it. Asking for customer support is laughable and most goes without an answer. If you are lucky, perhaps you will get a generic auto reply of the your issue is being looked at for future upgrades. Of course it has been several months since the last app update. It seems this game has been forgotten about by the developers.
This started out as a fun and good game. It was slowly went down the hill this year. Ember has stopped updating the game, they stopped sending event messages for the weekend (so we dont know what events are going on), they have a ton of bugs that they have acknowledged but said wont be fixed, they crash the game during war events (then hours later it comes back online just to find that youve been attacked and zeroed because you could not get online to shield due to their game crash), they ignore your support messages to them (outright closes the support case without a response), and the list goes on. The regions are also completely dead. They changed how you grow and made it money based instead of putting in the work. They screwed over the free players drastically when doing so. The free players were once able to compete in the PvP portion of the game with spenders as spenders had to work at ranking up. They just couldnt buy their way. Now they can buy their way into whatever they want, this crushing the free players and anyone else. Now unless you are dropping hundreds of dollars a week, you are nothing. You cant even compete without spending money now. Its sad especially when it used to be a mixed of free and money game play. Now its just money based.
This game is a horrible ratchet despicable disrespectful demeaning and degrading game It started off fun and cool but now its a pay $500 weekly to win type of game and the added bonus is cyber bullying we have never experienced a game where the customer service ignore you and REFUSED to do anything You can complain and show them screenshots and they still do nothing You have people in the game use racist words and the cyber bullying is on the lines of being criminal They will threaten you and use words like we will end you and kill your self And the developer and customer service reps ALLOW this to continue on in the game THEY DO NOTHING This game is rated for children 9+ and up This is a lie we would NEVER allow any child to play this game Id never let a child be subjected and experience to such horrendous behaviors and cyber bullying It should be rated for MUTUAL ADULTS AND TRUST ME ITS ONLY A FEW MUTUAL ADULTS THAT ACT LIKE THEY HAVE COMMON SENSE THAT PLAY THIS GAME The developers and customer service team just lie to you and mislead you DO NOT PLAY! This game needs to remove and banned from the App Store and Google play! ASAP!
Lets put it this way, until Ember gets into the BBB do not get a game from them. They absolutely mislead you as a player. Yes, the campaign mode is okay, have played much better. But unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars weekly, which most do not, you can never be competitive in this game. Support is useless, we are looking into the problem or its not your problem, are the answers we have received. People cheat that support has received close to 1 hundred of complaints about and because the player has paid thousands of dollars, he gets priority. Ember is just looking to get paid. Also the do nothing about cyber bullying from those players who do pay. They say it is a war game, thats a joke. There is NO real strategy in the game, but pay money to get more troops than your opponents. If this was a true war game, you would be able to ambush troop marches, different formations you could choose from to attack or defend with, terrain variables for attacking and defending bonuses. While there are players which want to help new players to become stronger, the ones who dont are bullies. Yes they offer events daily. But heres the problem, when you can not participate in those events, because of those players, whats the point. Just do campaign and dungeon mode. That way you can not be bullied and you do not become a farm to the bullies in the game. Thats the only way you can participate on the weekend events. Otherwise dont even bother with this game, Ember fix the problem you caused. You might get a better review. Oh thats right the only reason you have a good review is because you got them from the players that paid hundreds if not thousands to play the game. You have players dropping like flies and you dont care!!! Thats why you will fail.
We’ve been playing this almost since it first came out. The latest update completely wiped our account out. After all this time Im not starting over.
We love this game! But kids under 8 should not play.
Our game has been glitched since Monday night and it is now Wednesday. Other people have been glitched along with us and no response from the developers. Tried to call Ember and the answering machine says this is not customer support and your call will not be returned. Looking to get refunds on money spent either from Apple for allowing this or from Ember.
This was a great game, but zero support from developers. Since castles were released many months ago the developers dropped support. The game has not been updated for 8 months as of this post. They are making cat games now… Do not spend a dime here. No support and only pads their pockets.
The game has no limits on who can attack who in this game, so if you decide to play it be prepared to have players eight times larger than you wipe you out almost immediately. Ember does nothing to prevent this because these are usually the players that spend money in the game. All of the emphasis is put on attack, so even when getting attacked by someone nearly the same size as you, your entire town will be wiped out and take days to rebuild. You will rarely get a chance to do this with how easy it is for the large, money spending players to destroy you. Most of the discussion in these games goes well beyond competitive banter and instead is rude, vile and cruel. You can report these individuals but Ember does nothing about it. Their response is that you can block them, which basically renders the game silent. Overall Im disappointed that Ember seems to keep a structure and service that supports only those that spend money on the game. Dont bother playing unless you have a lot to spend.
Move along, nothing to see here. Ember has clearly abandoned this game for other things. No support, no updates, nothing. Yep, just another dead game. Was good, but now it slowly fades away into nothing. Apple, clear this one from the store, its clearly dead and wasting space. Those that want to still play without the bullies, jump to Realm 5. Players there still trying to make it fun.
We have been playing this game for almost a full year now… Ember promises updates earlier this year and so far nothing. Only things that they want is your money. There are many whove been on the game for a very long time and many have quit because of nothing new to do like the realm vs realm. The alter or the market with the goods exchange, which btw has been there since day 1. As well as the alter. IMO not worth it if no updates are coming and always get standard computer response from them.
Ember took our money and stopped its development..
This game is run by ember and its employees. Yes they give out prizes but if you dare to to have any power you are hit over and over again . They bully you. The things that are said on realm chat are bad. If you ever told someone that in person you would be arrested. When you complain to ember they send you a form letter that is nothing to do with what you said . DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME . We CANT WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A LAW SUIT AGAINST EMEBR . TERRIBLE GAME DO NOT PLAY OR WASTE YOUR MONEY.
They completely gave up on the game and no longer support. Game lags and no response to any issues.
Played for months, played for fun. It takes a while to realize how much this game is geared towards offense and weekly events that destroy players and the progress of their cities and armies across each realm. There is no way to defend against the bigger players. There is one resource elixir that you cant protect other players from stealing and zeroing you out. Impossible to grow without elixir to help. Very little instruction on how to play when you start the game. Just have to hope other players fill you in or land in a good guild that is willing to help. Lots of coming soon! Listed on some city items( like the altar). Played for months, message never changed. Random server maintenance with little warning. Starting to see a toxic player base, and lots of bullying. We want a game that is fun. The fun ran out, so time for us to delete this game.
So it takes for ever to build a army, then one day some one just wiped your three weeks of work out with in seconds just because you were 10 minutes late from shielding and it takes for ever to get going again. Pointless game not much better than the ones that wipe you out completely. Not worth spending money or playing.
Played game for over a year. Bugs started mounting up. Updates quit happening. Staff quit replying to peoples requests Most all the players left. Dead game. Developers left here to work on other games. We’ve determined to not play games made by this developer all together.
Could be a decent game if pay to win wasnt the only way to advance to try to compete with all of the high level bullys in the game.
Cannot even write a detailed review it crashes so much. Save yourself grief and pass on this game.
The vulgarity in the global chat and lack of monitoring by the Game Developers is borderline criminal. Not only do they ignore pleas to block, warn or clean up the Realm Chat, they seem to support the conflict. Be warned. The game completely caters to the spenders. No shock there, but no chance for a casual player either. NOT FOR CHILDREN.
Embers Dragonstone:Kingdoms is one of the best war games out there. Sadly, Ember entertainment has not fixed major bugs, slow to respond, and has not implemented major updates in a couple months. The game is dying, and Ember wont advertise or give us new content.
This game is pay to win, constantly wants you online to check in for micro rewards. Hounds you to spend a little money that leads to higher prices transactions. Play the other Dragonstone, Guilds and Heroes. It’s a much better game that Ember should not have given up on developing.
We’ve played this game for long time at the beginning updates and new stuff came out now its nothing no ember mail for months the people dont even answer support took two weeks to answer some in our guild and we all had to send mail to help him they answered someone else after 2 days make the game better add a new realm where everyone is invited make it fun.
The game has serious server issues, which Ember ignores fixing in favor of providing more updates that require players to spend more money. New players are offered packs at $5 that existing players spent $30 on. In retrospect, we wouldnt give them a penny. Additionally, the game lags horribly and you lose troops and/or resources. They do not bother rising these issues. They allow some of their own developers to play the game too, and they run the game as cyber bullies. It takes all the fun out of the game.
After almost 6 months, and making it 124 days before one of special buys actually seemed worth it, we almost completely regret not giving up on the game months ago. On the plus side, our $5 didnt entire go to Ember Entertainment, but back in January (around 80-90 days in) we considered quitting and we decided to hang around and enjoy what we could. While other realms may be better than where we were, the game definitely caters towards rewarding those willing to spend, and spend, and spend. While you can remain free to play, you are looking at upwards of 350,000 gems (earned at up to 100 per event every 6 hours) simply to purchase the items required for structural building upgrades, and a single level 24 building upgrade that is awarded once per month based on sequential logins would also severely limit the ability for a free to play customer being able to max out their structures, if they managed to get the other required gems, first. If you dont mind being borderline abused, or are looking to be [not so] micro transactioned, with $5-$100 (non-starter) options available, for (hopefully?) months to come- it definitely could be the game for you. For us, Id much rather would have not invested upwards of 800 hours for the relative lack of enjoyment we got out of it for most of our time we spent in the game.
The game is completely imbalanced towards high spenders. A handful of players with too much disposable income on server 2 constantly zero the majority of the server because theyre so much stronger. War parties were implemented to try to help lower players team up, but they take too long to form and attack allowing the target a number of options to get away instantly. Also these options now cancel the war party, allowing the target to control when defending players troops are unbunkered at their bases and vulnerable to being annihilated in smaller groups. This turns the only real chance at leveling the playing field into nothing more than a huge risk to the lower level players that need help. As it currently stands one player can instantly attack anyone on the map indefinitely through teleports that have no timers on them. Any kind of castle moving items should have a timer on it so the huge spenders can instantly poured in and out at the first sign of danger and so that people have a chance to defend/retaliate. These items should also share a timer with bubbles, or at the very least ports and bubbles should both cause at least a half hour cool down preventing the other from being used so players cant port in, instantly attack and bubble until theyre able to port out making the already completely outmatched cowards completely invincible. Handicaps should also be implemented based on players might levels that prevents players from attacking anyone who is less than 1/3 their might. Unless you spend more money than the highest spenders in this game you will have very little chances to grow or fighting someone your level without a big spender porting in and ganking you the second you return and are not yet bunkered.
We LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH NO REGRETS IN DOWNLOADING IT!!! ITS A MUST HAVE!!!
Unfortunately after a few months of playing we’ve lost it all. Not untypical of any other game app that we’ve invested in. We dont link to social media (which as we know now for good reasons), so therefore we have no back-up. Game will be deleted and forgotten, but it was okay while it lasted.
We wish ember would just face the facts and just completely copy igg’s game lords mobile, it would make this game much better other then the bugs. The bugs in this game are so severe it almost makes this game unplayable. About every 10 minutes or when there is to much going on in game for it to handle it force closes. So even try and attack someone the game will shut down and you will lose everything from a counter attack!
Not sure how this game is getting a 4.5 star rating. First, realm chat is a bullyfest with no accountability or control by ember. Dont let your kid play this game, older teens and up are ok if you like trash talk. Game is slow and buggy… Get kicked out regularly. Biggest complaint is that you cannot enjoy or be successful without spending a lot of money. We have played several Ember games and this is by far their worst one. Save yourself a lot of frustration and pain… Dont play it.
Once again, Ember has failed to create a game that has fair play in mind. Supercell has a success story due to the way fair play is built into their games. Clash of Clans does allow attacks upon weaker players however, the cost is less damage and less reward. Ember, on the other hand, creates games that promote a type of online bullying that could introduce a new form of offline retaliation that could rival some of the things we currently see in the news. Our recommendation: save yourself the headache. Avoid Ember Entertainment unless you have, literally, thousands of dollars to spend and have a misplaced sense of superiority to fellow gamers and humanity. But if you feel like buying a new car, crashing it, repairing it, crashing it on the way home and repeating the whole process then, do that instead.
Could be a fun but you quickly get to a point where players at much higher levels destroy your units and capture your resources which means you cant improve without rebuilding and regathering resources. There is a shield but it quickly gets too expensive to use as is most of the packages offered to help you develop. Unless your willing to spend mega bucks on the game dont waste your time.
Dont waste your time, losers who use real money will always be able to beat you. What do you expect nothing on the App Store is balanced anymore. Free game equal spend $$ or be destroyed.
There aren’t any players left on most realms. The few that remain have spent hundreds and thousands of dollars so they are literally years ahead of new players in researches and construction. Quite a few things to enjoy about this game but it is poorly managed unfortunately.
We have played this game for over 4 months now. The game is beautiful, the gameplay is worth it. We even dropped maybe close to $75 or more now for this game-the equivalent of a console game nowadays. Sadly, Ember missed out on the fair play for this game and our realm is completely run by bullies, trolls, and the like because they spent more money than anyone else. This is NOT A CASUAL GAME. The response we got from EMBER regarding parity and holding on to players is posted below: Hello, This is a war game so we don’t discourage players from attacking each other. What is considered an acceptable attack varies depending on who is in power. Ember does not interfere in the politics of each Realm. Reach out to allies and rally your guild to change the balance of power in your Realm. Good luck out there! -Ember Entertainment Unfortunately there are no more guilds to stand up to the Shadow-the biggest spender in realm 2. The developers dont care about holding on or developing new players. This is probably the last game Ill ever play for this developer if this continues. Please move on and spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
This is a 0 Star. Any level player can attack any other player. Which means a level 50 player can attack a level 1 player and crush them repeatedly. It takes so long to recover from being attacked that you can be attacked again and have nothing to defend against. It does not matter anyway, because they are vastly more powerful anyway. You cant even hurt them. Armies take too long to heal or train. Trap take too long to repair or build. So again, you can be attacked repeatedly which will effectively prevent you from playing the game. If you spend lots of money you can put shields on yourself, but, youd have to do that every single time you get attacked because itll take so long to recover that youll just get attacked again. It takes too long to craft. It takes too long to collect materials. Etc etc etc it just goes on and on. Pathetic game developers. Please stop making crap pay to win games.
This game is not structured very well. Those who pay to play are always ahead and you can be way less in strength and they can come through and squash you like a bug setting you back days or weeks in materials. The high level players just like to harass people and bully them not allowing anyone else to build up. Sure its a war game but if you cant even farm then there is no point in playing.
