Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We enjoy participating in battlefield and monster hunting in our free time. We started in 2021 Im very content with this game, we also like svs every other weekend. We gave Evony 5 stars.
Preview and ads are nothing like a game however, this is the only game Ive been able to maintain playing for over a year nonstop. You essentially have to make purchases if you want to grow and be taken seriously as a player, but there are regular events that take place that make playing fun and high limits of growth so that you dont complete a game and Im nothing left to do.
Customer support need to support customers.
We like this game so so so much we love the game too.
Slow start but a good way to pass the time.
Gaming experience is excellent. Bots are unchecked and rampant.
Almost every single day or twice in a week it says update 37mb, Forcefully do 1GB+ instead of 37MB etc , and when we open the game dont see any difference that 1GB of update it makes , so its so annoying and frustrating for us, a game should do its update once a month or twice a year, and yes it should make sense when it updates Thanks.
Really complicated in our opinion. We only wanted something quick like the ads, and we get this whole story arc. Its a good game but dont have expectations based on the ads.
We just want these stupid ads to stop.
We saw it on a YouTube ad and thought it was fun but when we played it, it was not what it looked like in the ad the movement was really weird and stiff and wasnt fun at ALL do not get this game. We have no idea why this game has 4.5 stars this game SUCKS this game doesnt deserve any type of affection and after looking at some of developer responses they look like they arent written by a real person so please stop this!!! The people who made this game should be ashamed of themselves for making such a horrible game. DELETE IT.
Muy bueno divertido feliz navidad, merry Christmas happy holly days and new year.
Dont do it! The only way to get ahead is to spend thousands of dollars. It will suck the soul out of you.
This is sooooo goooooood And we love it.
Listen, we can ignore the slow and terrible server. And we can ignore the pay to win attitude of your developers. But seriously, you have a whole battlefield thats locked from K38 on? As if it wasnt K35 when you first released it? Are you stupid? You can simple release storm ruins for K35-38. But instead you chose to remove it for those below 38. Makes no sense.
Its not like the same as the ads but kinda similer.
The game is fun but to progress you have to spends thousands and thousands. The developers don't care about the everyday player its all tailored for people that want to spend money, which sucks. Castle decorations cost 2000-10000$ which is absolutely insane. So until then developers try to make this game for everyday people or bridge the gap between those that can afford to spend a house vs those that can spend a hundred or two, don't get sucked in.
As you can see if you play in game you dont even do it like the ad like we doesnt show like in the ad its a different story on the in game.
While we played evony we found how laggy it was, the graphics were horrible and the adds look better than the whole game not to mention we do not care about a stupid story line, all we want to do is the puzzles that you advertise so this is our reason why we undownloaded it.
This game is great our screen time for this game is 6 hours and 5 minutes it takes up your time the graphics are fantastic and the storyline are interesting even though its not like the ads you should download anyway very nice people online.
When looking through your items itd be nice to have a search bar to locate items.
Hello and regards. Since the last update, the game has not been working properly. Autojoin does not work properly, in some parts you cannot collect rewards, and some parts of the game open automatically and you have to close them. This problem has occurred for all Alliance members.
Intelligence and tactics required to play well.
They need seriously make a game like this but just without the seductive women and cursing in it as a Christian you cant play everything you want to play games like this cannot be played as a Christian it would be cool if they could make a game like this but it just doesnt have all the wicked content in it.
We have a good alliance we have been playing for almost two years. Im still learning on how to progress – we only play about 15-20 min a day. Sometimes a bit more.
Every other day there are updates and it says 147 MB thats gonna be uploaded but when its uploadinitupdating then it turns into 1.1 GB this is consuming our phones memory. Whats going on with technical support and IT how come these constant updates? Each update is almost a gig worth of information that needs to be updated.
Few issues: can we opt out of the offensive word filter ? Its really stupid. It blocks out half the words are not even bad words. Theyre part of other words and so it shows words like class as cl***. It would be helpful to be able to see our resource resources at the top when were in the items because we dont know what Im low on. We have to go back back-and-forth. Is there another way to Open the wonder? It says you have to be a top five on server war. Theres too many people. That are far far ahead of us so Ill never get that but we would like to be able to give gifts and things like that and progress through the game.
Evony surprised us. We went in thinking it was just another strategy game, but its actually a mix of base-building, puzzles, and real-time teamwork that pulls you in fast. We like that you can grow at your own pace, join alliances, and stay connected with people from all over. The events and rewards keep things moving, though Ill be real the in-app purchases can push things out of balance if youre competitive. Still, if you enjoy building something from the ground up and having a little fun while doing it, Evony is worth trying. Surprise.
Everyone all knows how addictive this game can be. We have known players who have been playing this game for more than 5 years, and are still hooked (for better or worse). But we would like to bring your attention to the quality of their customer service in this review instead. We had recently lost access to our account, but luckily, Evonys customer support, especially Nina and Carol, helped us restore it in less than 2 days, just in time for SvS! As our server is of the notorious bubble-or-burn type, they kindly offered to provide our inaccessible castle with a temporary protective shield while they were working on a solution. Such great customer service is what can pull players into the game and then stay for long. If you have probably heard some dispiriting stories about Evonys unresponsive customer service in the past, we can assure you from our latest experience that it has all changed for the better now! We appreciate their new chat feature, which enables you to talk directly about your game issues with a knowledgeable and considerate representative, and sometimes even a whole team. This will definitely resolve your game problems in a speedy and satisfying manner, as we have recently experienced that firsthand. Its great that Evony has been focusing on building their customer service into a top-notch team of professionals nowadays, as they understand that a happy player is a long-term customer. Thanks so much, Nina and Carol.
Really fun game thats been great so far.
We love the idea and its fun to talk to people, playing this game has become our escape and some of the other players are really cool we know that its a war game but we dont fight unless someone asks lol. And all the events are so interesting and storys are amazing to fallow. We love this game! The ads for the game have changed and we dont shoot zombie hordes but there are fun puzzles, people, pictures, and challenging gameplay.
Unless if your prepared to spend a lot of money do not play game. This game is truly a coiners game but even when you spend money you never get what you need in order to play the game. Your base has to be at level 41 to even have fun and they designed the packages to only give you a 1/4 of the items to build your base so you can spend $500 in a weekend and still wont be able to complete a building. But it will definitely keep you busy and have fun playing it.
We enjoy the game but it gets awfully frustrating, with so many people using cheat apps. Most of the better sub cities and golden pyramids are quickly snapped up, by players using cheat apps. They freely talk about it but Evony seems to ignore.
This is a game that is very similar to so many others. It is a city building game where you can attack monsters on the world map. There are too many events and almost every single one is trying to get you to spend money. If you are a free to play gamer you will be very annoyed by the persistent nature of the micro transactions. The ads for this game show it as a game you move your troops from side to side to collect rewards and fight off enemies, however, that only applies to a few very easy stages every time you upgrade your main base. Overall it is fun but is not unlike a dozen other games and the ads for this game are misleading.
So Im new and our keep is level 14 and we wanna be able to teleport to our friends server but it says our level is to high so we were wondering if you could make the level higher so people can teleport to other servers. Please and thank you this would help out a lot.
Dont be fooled into thinking that you will be able to play this game effectively without spending money. This is a pay to win game. If youre looking to meet people from all over the world and have a good time hunting monster then download the game. If you want to fight against other castles and win server wars then get ready to pull out the wallet.
Make no mistake about it, Ive played this game for over a year, BUT the advertisements with the hoards of creatures and zombies attacking is like .01% of the game. This game WILL cost you money to be competitive, theres no way around that. PFF players can still have some fun and engage in the social aspect of the game, but ultimately there is no way they will be able to go heard to head with paying players. If you do start to play, Id recommend playing free and if you decide to start playing with money, start over in a new server. Otherwise you will be miles behind everyone else.
Game constantly crashes and it takes forever to load just to crash again.
It always changes the game for no reason.
Recently we sent a review that was responded to about how the in game features are nothing like the ads. We stated that in the ads you can shoot to get more people/guns. Your response was. We assure you our features are accurate to our game. Then where. Tell us where in a game where you solve puzzles and conquer countrys in a middle age time where guns arent invented yet. Where? Just where.
We really like Evony and so make sure not to cancel it.
Wonderful and engaging game. Definitely a long play for mature players. Tried and true.
Wanted to try a challenging continuing saga that we could make choices on on our level of skill development and boy does thi game really make it a lot of fun first couple levels dont give you the whole story but dig in @ Ill guarantee that you as well will Injoy happy gaming.
This is one of the best strategy games Ive played. However, with that said, there are areas where Evony could make things like upgrades not be so costly.
We had one round that was so good that we need to tell someone. Love ya guys.
Fun game that we play a lot. Progress is very dependent on your ability to spend cash. Social aspects of alliances and other players are fantastic if youre on a good server. A few too many glitches. Wish battlefields were only 60-90 minutes. Game is not like the swipe side to side ads. Its more a war game with major development strategy.
We began playing seven years ago. It was a blast. Server was one big party, while taking warring seriously. Full on friendships. NAP served. Fast forward a few years, an egotist with literally millions to spend took over server, poached players from all other alliances, and paid for them to advance from mere millions to billions in power. They now dictate, embodying Kim Jon Un – as in utter tyrants. Our hive are all k35-k40, but do not have billions upon billions in power because we dont have dudes money. They punish us by burning our hives when were disobedient! Yeah, it is NK! He also made a hundred alts to serve all the players. So they are impossible to keep up with. Its ALL ABOUT MONEY, and Evony does nothing because the massive spenders keep Evony wealthy. Bottom line, we play because we have too much time invested, and love our hive.
The only way to be successful in this game is to spend real money. A person can play without spending money but advancement is out paced by players who spend money on items that accelerate their progress. One player in our server just reached $10,00000 in real.cash spent. Lots of expensive fun.
Unfortunately, they only care about financial gain. To ask anyone to buy anything for $99 is ridiculous! And then they trick you into thinking if you do spend it that youll get a castle or would have you or whatever youre looking into us Molly, their steps and you want spending $1 million to get what you want its not worth it, dont spend a dime.
If you aint ready to include this game into your monthly bill then dont even worry about getting into it. You can get as far with free to play but there are so many people willing to drop thousands on this game its insane. Why not a single star? Community. We were able to find good people through this game.
