Community Insight:
We Like your game and all but we have a few comments, all we want is sandbox mode and the mode that you are the attacking army,other than that,thank you for making the game.
Love it keep up the hard work plz.
As the game went on, it kinda got boring towards the second level. The game sends to many soldiers to comprehend It gets way to hard and it is just not worth the hassle.
The start was great fighting off hordes of enemies and getting tactics level master every time. But then later on it became less and less engaging and we used less and less complex strategies because a they were easy and still won and b it was getting boring. After we completed the game we hoped that crusader and glory mode would bring something new to the table and maybe add new traps soldiers and fortifications maybe even a cool mode where you were attacking them! Sadly to our dismay they were not. They were practically excuses to put more levels in the game and were more boring than ever. Please turn this game around because we did in fact enjoy it for part of it.
Really fun, maybe you could add a sandbox mode? As in a mode where you could choose whatever map you wanted, and build with no cash restraints. Also, perhaps have a mode where you can put an enemy fortress under siege: as in creating your own formations and troops under budget constraints. Thank you for considering this.
UPDATE!! It please need more levels it's a fun game.
Great game. Very well made and we like how it corresponds with history. But a suggestion is that you should make crusader mode a little easier and the you should make the controls less frustrating. But thanks! We expect more games of this quality from easy tech so keep them coming! PS, you should make a mode where you are the attacking army.
Please make a fortress under siege 2 or at least update the current game. We finished all the levels and we love this game. So we want to play more.
Good solid game that should have a sequel. Plenty of hours in the game and it is one of the best.
We're tired. We don't want to write a review. This game is great. One of our favorites ever. K. Bye.
The game is great , we want to make a suggestion u should add multiplayer. We don't have a doubt it'll make the game more amazing as it already is.
Sandbox mode would be a cool update.
You should make a mode where you Attack and you fight the base.
We like this game so much….! But we have a comment, can u improve the display and tools on the screen? Sometime it make us boring when we rebuild the wall or building.
Great game, lots of control for a defense game, with hundreds of possible base designs. Great for sitting back and watching lots of tiny soldiers move around and fight.
First, only things we want to ask to change, is: Allow some system of multiple unit control. Don't allow early unlocking of units. Its really overpowered. Other than those couple things, its great. There are over 24 hours of potential gameplay, none of which are "grinding", with a high replay value. Most amazing thing about the game is that its not a freemium at all. There are no money sucking tactics like timers, or impossible gameplay without paying. However, like others have said,the bad reviews are people with low iqs. It is a great choice for those who do and dont have itunes credit.
We love it! One of the best games on earth!! We like the men and towers and houses… You name it! We think more money at the start though. But it is AWESOME.
Great strategy game but maybe u guys should put in a creative mode where u can put buildings, men, and everything everywhere.
Bad reviews are simply people who do not like strategy. The game has a lot of content, is very fun, very challenging and unlike most games out there, NOT pay to win! There is an option to buy gold, but if you actually use strategy with your troops, you wont ever need it! The Game needs an update, with the ability to select multiple units (at least on iPad) and give commands, like stand your ground or lay prone or use special ability like speed with horses or something. Also endless survival mode would be nice! If this update is added this will surely be the best strategy game on iOS.
Multiplayer would be soooooo epic.
Add pyro a flamer Akamakaze sciucider Scout fast but weak And the shielded invaunarauble to projectiles.
Awesome game, though it is missing a few legendary characters like Merlin, the magic tower is cool and all but we'd like to see a wizard hero fight, and there is also Lancelot, it would be awesome to get these characters we feel you will get a lot more fans! :).
We would like for you to make a new update for multiplayer on this game. You can attack your friend on game center and view leader boards! Please recomend this update.
The ballista tower does not have a ballista. The ballista is not on the ballista but is a mile in front of it. Please fix.
Awesome game the game we had always wanted in years! The only thing we want are very cheap knife guys.plz.thanks.
Best game we seen in so long. We also love your other games like world conquer2 or European war3.
This is a awesome game we just wish u could play previous levels without deleting your account.
We don't uasally review games like we rarely review games and when we though its must be a really fun and good game like this 5 out of 5 stars.
It's an awesome game. Challenging and fun. Those of you who say it's too hard are not hardcore gamers.
We have been addicted to this game and just wondering if there will be an update.
One of the best games we have downloaded and played! Incredibly addicting and fun. It could use a tutorial at the start because we were a bit confused and we think others will be too. Also maybe descriptions of buildings and troops in the build screen during the battle. Great game overall and it could be very popular with a bit more work.
God… This game is so awesome, that we can't stop saying that to our friends! You guys should work more on it and it will surely be a Game of the Year!! Update please with survival mode, improved archer and catapult accuracy, and stone wall durability balance, cuz it doesnt stop anybody in late levels Thanks for awesome game.
You should totally get this game. Great use of money! Real life war! There can be no bad parts in this game.
One of our favorite apps so far. A idea for a new game mode would be a survival mode. It could start by giving 5000 coins to start out, then you build your fortress and last off the coins given by killing enemies. Of course the game alone is great, but there are many more paths that the game can take.
We absolutely love this game but,we can no longer play it because we updated our iPad and it said that the app was not up too date with the update!? Please fix this.
We got the the top difficultys on all days in the story mode in 2 weeks and also you should make a free play were you make an attacking army and a defensive army.
Great game, we wish there were more like it! It's very rare to find a game like this where you create an army. It requires a strategy! Our only problem is we wish there were an option where you can highlight your troops and have them move instead of having to pick them 1 by 1.
We think It needs a creative mode so you could spawn Knights and enemy Knights to battel.
God game but wish there was a sandbox version.
We died on the 2nd lvl twice. Also the money for defeating the enemy is too low of an amount.
Great game, just could you fix the ballista towers, since the ballista is not on the tower, but far right on the field. Until you fix this, we will keep our rating down to a 4. Thanks, if you fix this. Also, you should be able to control multiple units at once.
Hopefully we could command more than one soldier each time.
We think you should add a new mode. It could use some work,but so far the game is awesome! Also, just because people do not like the game does not mean they are not good at strategy games. We even have to admit the game is getting a little dry.
Don't get fooled by pictures, the game is really limited. And we love strategy games, but heroes and castles is way better than this. Plus there is no restore purchases, but that's not why we're disliking this game. Basically it is limited and bad overall.
This game is designed so you will never win enough to survive without feeding it money. The other reviews are fakes. Go play the games at the fair. You have a better chance. Each battle you lose more gold. And are forced to purchase in order to even compete.
This is the dumbest game because its not even fair and you don't get Enough money.
This game is the best! We've been playing for days. We can't believe there are so many options in the game for just an app. Still gets 5-stars even though unit selection and attack commands need improvement. Can't wait for an update.
We love this game! But we would think of adding the ability to control groups of soldiers instead of individually. Another thing we ask: SEIGE 2 ANYONE?! This time though in siege two you could choose to be under siege or the people who are seiging. You also need to have the siege at different points in history like Rome, China, and Egypt. Or in the revolutionary war or Jamestown.
We love this game so much it's great.
How do we unlock crusader and glory mode??? Other than that,its a AWESOME game.
